 Prosecutor Delaney later forced Foley to admit telling Captain Began that he heard the foreigner mentioned tell Curtis Watch the stairs Foley then said Curtis bad no holster. He said he saw an article in a newspaper that said Curtis had a holster. He later became confused and admitted telling the police captain that he had seen Curtis wearing the holster in a cabaret in Elm street on Monday night.
 Judge Wilder said that he saw no reason why he should not impose the sentence. Three local men yesterday testified to seeing Curtis draw a gum Prosecutor Delaney displayed 8 letter from the, sister of Curtis, living at 241 Howard street, Brooklyn The sister said she had not seen her brother in two years and never wanted to see him again. She said four years ago her brother served time in the state penitentiary in New York. The letter proved thatGthe accused's name is not George B. Murray, but Charles E. Cur tis and finger prints taken by inspector Fauret of New York showed that Cur tis has a criminal record Curtis did not deny the fact that they were his finger prints and that he has been in prison.
 Here Judge Frank L. Wilder ad- dressed the policemen and spectators in general He said; This is the most serious case have ever handled It is like what you read about in the papers or see on the stage. To think that a regular horde of wild Western 'ers can come into this city and threat sen< to shoot up the town and get away with it is beyond me Policemen and gentlemen, something must be done to put a quick stop to it. If you do not there will be murders before we know it.
 .aThis is Bridgeport. Connecticut, not Leadvi11e, Colorado It is time some thing was done will fine Curtis s1 and costs and sentence him to six months in jail for carrying concealed weapons. will also impose an addi-. HonaI sentence of six months on a charge of breach of the peace.''
 At this iuncture Curtis again gave vent to his feelings. He turned to the bench and he said: "A bunch of frameup guys have put this over on me. It's a dirty raw deal but you won't get away with it here.'' He went to his seat in the prisoners pen mutering curses, which were audible to many spectators
 Judge Wilder was inclined to inn pose another jail sentence on charge of contempt of court but he decided that one year in the county jail would be sufficient. Attorney CoughIin made a. plea for 1eniency but the first sen- tence was upheld and an appeal will be allowed under a bond of $1,0Oo. The Acharge of embezzIement was nc11ed. Curtis was charged with em- bezzIing from his employers, the Union Metallic Cartridge Go. He admitted taking home two cartridge gauges He said he brought them home in his overaI1s, forgetting their presence

Bach Had the Melody In Him and Just
 Had to Get 1t Out.
 The Duke of .Saxe-Weimar once in- vited John Sebastian Bach, the Nestor of German music, to attend dinner at the palace. Before the guests sat down to the feast Bach was asked to give an Improvisation. The composer seated himself at the harpsichord and straightway forgot all about dinner and everything else. He played so long that at last the duke touched his shoul- der and said, we are very much obliged, master, but we must not let the soup get cold.''
 Bach sprang to his feet and followed the duke to the dining room without uttertng q word. But he)tw scarcely seated when he sprang up, rushed back Co the, instrument like one demented, 6truck few chords and returned to the dining room, evidently feeling much better. q beg your pardon, your highness," he said, "but you interrupt ed me in a series of chords and arpeg gtos on the dominant seventh, and could not feel at ease until they were resolved into the tonic. It l. as if you had snatched a glass of water from the lips of a man dying of thirst. Now have drunk the glass out and am content

The Surprise That Awaited Tom Tay-
 Tor, the PIayVtrisht.
 Writing of Tom Taylor, the famous playwright and former editor of Punch, Leslie Ward in Forty Years of Spy, ; says:
 "At dinner his appea rance was, re- markable, for he usually wore black velvet evening suit. A curious trail of the dramatist's was his absentminded manner and forgetfulness of conven- tion. Sometimes when walking in the street with a friend he would grow in terested and to emphasize his remarks turn to look more directly into the face of his companion, at the same time placing his arm around his waist. In the case Of lady this habit sometimes proved rather embarrassing.
 Mr. Tom Taylor was man of un- bounded kindness in helping every body who was in need of money or in trouble. ' One day MT. and Mrs. Taylor returned from q walk to be met by startled parlor maid, who announc- ed the presence of strange looking man who was waiting to see them. Her suspicious being aroused by his wild appearance, she had shown him into the pantry, fearing to leave him in the drawing room. On repairing to the pantry with curiosity not unnnixed with wonder they discovered Tenny son!quite at home and immensely tickled by his situation

Connie Mack to Have Long Struggle to Get
 First Division Team

The Athletics have stuck to the pol icy inaugurated by Connie Mack near Fly a year ago of trying to develop young players and to build up another team of worId-beaters. Deveioping lone player is a tedious. process Do veloping them by wholesale is a. task which is bigger than probably even Connie Mack contemplated. It was a gloomy training trip for the White Elephants Things did not break right for the club in Jacksonville and Man ager Mack and his Heutenants had
 many dark days down in F'lorida- The biggest disapp ppointment was when Bressler and Wyekoh suffered from sore arms and had to be left in Jack sonvilIe.
 Connie is hoping that at last these young men would come though Had they done so, the Athletics would have gone into the American League race with a fair pitching staff, a fair catch ing staff, a good outfield and with two places in the inheld-third base and shortstop-to experiment with. The break in the tWir1ing department af- fected the entire team and the spirits of the players also were affected,
 The Athletics, for the first time in the history Of the club, will go into the race looked upon as the rank out slider, Few expect the club to make any kind of a showing, but those ThO do not are not counting the indomit- able pluck, perseverance and detern- tnatfon of the leader of the White Ele- plants. Connie Mack knows that he lis up against the greatest fight of his career, and he is not the kind of al man to ask for quarter from anyone
 The time is here when his young pitchers must make good or the team soon will be hope1essly mired in at the end of the championship table for this year. Some of these young pitchers should make good. They have the earmarks of future greats and they have been taught a lot of stuff of which they never dreamed. It is un- fortunate that the responsibility must be put up to them so soon but if they are made of the right kind of stuff they will be equal tC<Tthe emergency.
 Whether the p5tchSrs and the new inf1elders make good OF not, the public can be assured that. Connie Mack and earnestly to secure and to develop players and to get the kind of men who will fit in with tK4e other members of the team.
 One thing that Manager Mack must arouse in his players is the team spirit. This has suffeE7d in the last year and a half, and it must be re- awakened before the club can get go- ing right.
 It is just IA years ago since the Ath- letics started the season with the out look little brighter than it is at the present time. Then court proceedings took from the Athletics Lajoie. Bern hard, Fraser, Flick and DuggIeby, but Connie Mack showed his resourcefuI- ness and in a. few weeks he had his team going at such a fast clip that the pennant was won without much difficulty. Competition in the Arneri-- can League. is going to be so keen this year that such thing as the history of 1912 being repeated is not even dreamed of, but the motto. Keep try ing'' is still hanging on Connie Mack's door. and the stern chase may not be so long as a lot of people now imagine.

Goodrich said that although each steamer had a crew of 75- men it was not allowed to leave port even one man short and could not pick up non-union seamen and hremen to take the places of the strikers. He said the pay of the men was advanced at their own request to s45 ten days ago and now they want $50 to s5. He expected 3, strike would be declared lon other lines before thN day was over.
 At the local office of the Hartford & New York Transportation Co. noth- ing had been heard of the strike. The Seaboard, the company's steamer which runs between this port and New York, made her regular trip yester- day, sailing at midnight for New York She is expected at g. o'clock tonight but whether or not she would be tied up here then could not be said at the office as nos advices concerning any strike had been received.
