CLEVER WOMAN THIEF, ASSERT
 LOCAL POLICE
Accuse Black Garbed Girl of Many Thefts in Bridge
 port Schools.

When the name of Ruth Corbin was called in the local court this morn ing, a slim girlish figure, dressed in deep mourning, wearing a sailor black picture hat, which seemed to accentuate the blondness of her hair, falteringly stepped Co the bar, to an- swer to a charge of larceny.
 In appearance she was anything but the dangerous criminal and klepto- maniac which the police assert her to be.
 Her arrest, according to the author ities, solves the mystery of the elus- i've Woman in Black" who for more than two years has robbed the dress ing rooms in the various public schools of Bridgeport and adjacent towns, stealing from the coats of pu- pills, money and valuables.
 Mrs. Corbin, who resides at 476 Broad street, and says she is 28 years of age, although she seems much noon, following the theft of about $8 in bills and silver from tho coats of dozen pupils in the Shelton Nor nal school.
 It appears that last Thursday a girl
 
 bin, heavily yelled, visited the Frank lin school in Nichols street. She in- quired when found walking about the building for teacher, located in an- other school. After her disappear ancs ten graphophone records, the property of a pupil, were missing.
 The heads of the various schools were notified to be on the lookout for o11 noon, a woman answering Mrs. Cor bins description, was seen in the hall- days of the Shelton school, and dis appeared following the theft of the pupils money.
 The police allege that on leaving the Shelton school she went directly down town to the Prospect school and po- litely inquired of the principal, s. P. Williams, who asked for whom she was looking, if a a certain teacher was located in the building. He told her the teacher was located at another institution. His suspicious aroused, he followed her. Instead of leaving the building she went to the third floor of the school. The authorities were notified while the principal de- tained the girl, Detective John J. Flynn arresting her.
 Mrs. Corbin, according to the po- lice, has a mania for stealing. Twelve years ago she was arrested for theft and was discharged from the employ of local corset company for stealing coupons from other girl employees.
 Her case was continued until next Tuesday. She was unable to obtain her release by furnishing a bond of S2OO.

 vent Drowning.

The three-masted schooner, I. P. Stetson, in collision off New Haven last Tuesday with the Joy line steam CT Lexington, on her way to New York city in tow of the tug Winifred Kale, was compelled to put into Bridgeport harbor early this morning owing to the high northwest gale that threatened to founder her.
 The Stetson today is in a water logged condition in the 22-foot-basin. being listed far to the starboard and her captain and crew, driven from the cabin by the water which now sub- merges even the decks, report peri lous trip from New Haven last night in the teeth of a gale.
 Lashed to the masts and super structure of the vessel. heavy seas swept the crew of the water-filled craft, which is only prevented from sinking by the nature of the cargo she carries from Nova Scotia to New York.
 Captain Frank Stevenson of the tug Kale reported that his tow would re- main afloat. He left New Haven last night for New York but owing to the wallowing condition of the Stetson was compelled to continue his course rather than turn back though there was imminent danger to the tug and tow. During the entire night he was unable to go farther than Bridgeport and managed to make the harbor en- trance this morning with difficulty. The crew of the Stetson suffered ter ribly from exposure and cold.

 Oldest of all to the confirmed be- liever in the progress of the human race, both Yosemite, known to his own people as Big Bear," after the great canyon of the Yosemite, which in the language of the Indian, is the Valley of the Big Bear," and his 24- year-old bride assert that they are healthy, happy and contented. They have so far demonstrated to all those whom they know we'll that the N"Back to Nature" idea is the best that Yose- mite has been commissioned by John T. Riggs to build five room log cabin on the Navajo plan.
 This log house, now partly con- structedj 24x30 feet, visible from Beardsley park is the handiwork of MT. and Mrs. Yosemite who have to- gether hewn trees, shaped the tim bers and raised them in the edif1ce. With spruce flooring, cement for the chinks and stone for the fireplace, it is figured that the five room house will not cost over $E00. Incidentally when seasoned if torn down and sold, the planking, much of oak and chest nut, would sell for a far greater amount of money than 1t cost.
 When seen by a reporter for The Farmer today, Frank Yosemite and his wife were squatting in the 'hogon" The embers of g. fire burned brightly from the draft entering n door which was covered by burlap cloth. The utensils of the breakfast, including a pot, frying pan and plates,

In the daytime she worked in the Kresge five and ten cent store as a ~salesgirl. At night she ate stove cooked food, visited the theatres and slept in beds with springs and mattresses.

 Today she lives with her husband in the Navajo type of winter hut known as "hogon,' built of logs, bark and earth, shaped like an inverted bowl, sleeping on the ground while the smoke from a permanent fire built in the middle of the structure spirals above the odd looking habitation and the sparks flying in circles about the interior when the wind blows and

RED CROSS FLAG DISPLAY BRINGS
 HIM TO COURT

New Haven, Sept. BOA. Theodore Saunders, president of the New Ca naan hospital, was summoned to the United States court here today to plead to an indictment charging viola. ton of the Federal law which pro. hibits the use of the Red Cross flag by private persons for commercial purposes.
 The allegation is that Saunders on last Memorial Day displayed in front of his place a United States flag, the Red Cross flag and a British flag. It is understood that the Stamford branch of the Red Cross demanded that Saunders take down the Red Cross flag as he had no right to use it.
 Saunders was here today but the court was filled with applicants for naturalization papers. He expected to plead not guilty. This will mean a jury trial at later date. So far as known here the complaint was made by the Red Cross association.
 Saunders formerly lived in South Norwalk and went to New Canaan a few years ago and tried to get persons interested in the incorporation of the hospital of which he is the head.

 MEETS SUDDEN DEATH
PECK IS GREAT LEADER; SAYS so.
 IN OWN LETTER
Stratford's Despot Frankly Exploits His Qualifica-
 tions For Boss.

Charles H. Peck, of Stratford, can- didate for justice of the peace, judge of probate and state representative in that town. is the acknowledged lead CT" to whom Stratfordites "may come with their grievances and troubles to be lighted"
 Judge Peck himself acknowledges his leadership. In addition. he pauses for reply, and as yet has heard none, after hurling this question at the pop ulace of Stratford:
 "Is there any other man in the town that has shown any better qualifica- tions for leadership"
 The judge assumes his most popular role, that 4f the political violet, in . friendly letter of advice to Stratford- ties on how they should vote in the town election Monday. The judge puts his official seal of approval on the the following candidates:
 Dr. Rollin A. Curtiss, for selectman "the finest selectman we ever had"
 Martin Knapp. for selectman-- worthy of your confidence in every way"
 Clifford B. Kearney and George Ash, for registrars of voters-"the opposi- ton has had the registrars long enough"
 Oscar Swanson. for assessor-"no man in this town better qualified"
 The judge, after presenting his choice for office, then says about lead CTS and leadership:
 There is something more than can- didates involved in this election there is the question of standing by your leader. The Republican party, which comprises two-thirds of the vot- CTS of the town. have. time and again, elected me as its leader, and, in the recent caucus were unanimous in con- frming my leadership, and you should give your ,help at the polls. Whom will you follow? Is there any other man in the town that has shown any better qualificatiolef fpr leadership? In every large and growing community, there should be some man that should be the acknowledged leader. and to whom the people may come with their grievances and troubles to be lighted, and if you can find a man better suited for that position than myself, then select him as your leader and support him; but. until you do find someone better, give me your friend- ship and support. Please remember, then, to give your support and vote for Curtiss and Knapp for selectmen; Os- car Swanson for assessor. and Kear- ney and Ash for registrars; and, in the other offices, please follow the requests of my last letter. as nearly as you can do so conscientious1y.
 "Now, please take no ofrense at this frank letter. I am only requesting your help, and am not attempting to dictate to you in any way. I find in this age, that if a man desires any, thing, and does not ask for it. he is not likely to receive it. There is noth- ing personal that the selectmen will be asked to do for me- and only requests for public services is all that I shall demand at their hands" .t.
