JUDGE LENIENT TO OFFENDERS IN
 SUPERIOR COURT

In the Criminal Superior Court to- day Judge Reed told Deveslas Den brosh never to escort a young lady home when he is drunk. It seems that Denbroski, 22 years old, had got ten quite jubilant at a party held some time ago, and drank more than he should. Nevertheless, he wished to act the gentleman, and escorted d siXteen-year-old young girl to her home. Whether the young woman had also partaken of that forbidden beverage is not definitely known, but they both strayed far from home and did not report at their respective places of residence until o'clock in the morning.
 Denbroski pleaded guilty to charge of serious assault Judge Reed fined the young man $100.
 A few other minor cases were dis posed of in the court today Patrick Santone of this city pleaded guilty to a charge of having committed simple assault, although he was charged with assault and with intent to kill. Judge Reed fined him $100.

ENGINEERS TO ORGANIZE IN
 BRIDGEPORT
Will Form Body to Affiliate With the American Fed
 eration of Labor.

The stationary engineers of Bridge port are at last to be organized as body to be part of the American Fed eration of Labor. This fact was an- nounced today by William Mckenzie, second vice president of the Interna- tional Union of Steam and Operating Engineers, who has come East from Cleveland. Ohio, for the purpose of getting the men together.
 According to a statement issued to- day by Representative F. A. Fitz- gerald, of the Hoisting, Portable and Steam Shovel Engineers, the station ary engineers of Bridgeport are not organized at present under the Amer ican Federation of Labor, but are mostly members of the National As sociation of Steam Engineers, which is not in any way connected with the Federation.
 In speaking on the subject Repre- sentative Fitzgerald said: "The men who belong to the National Associa- ton erroneously think they are union men when in reality the organization is distinctly allied with the bosses and the men do not come under the pro- tection or derive any benefits from the governing body of organized la bor."

PLEAD GUILTY TO UNLAWFUL
 COHABITATION
Monroe Couple Before Judge Reed in Superior Court
 Man Sent to Jail.

Edith Curtis and William Kellar, the couple arrested in Monroe on the charge that they were Unlawfully liv ing together, were arraigned before Judge Reed inc the Criminal Superior Court today, and on pleas of guilty, Kellar was sentenced to rine months in the county jail and Mrs. Curtis had her six months sentence suspended.
 Kellar's counsel related quite an adventurous tale regarding the life of Kellar. It was stated that Kellar had answered an advertisement in the papers which asked for a position of 2 certain woman as housekeeper. The woman was Edith Curtis, and Kellar employed her as his housekeeper and soon became her friend, as the wom- an related to him her unfortunate luck with her husband from whom she sought separation. Although it was stated that even now Kellar cared little what became of him as long as the woman was well provided for and justly treated by the court officials his statement and story was contra dicted by States Attorney Carter, when he said that Kellar put the ad- vertisement in the paper himself, and that he actually made the woman sub init to the illegal relationship, if she continued to stay with him. The woman was poor and rather than facr the clutch of poverty stayed with him.
 Mrs. Curtis was put in charge of a probation officer and Judge Reed told her to do and act as the probation officer may see fit, and from now on behave herself, to which she readily assented.
