The Speechnaking will be in

speakers have been secured for the
occasion. Don S. Ceitz ana Countess
Turczynowicz.
Seitz is a resident of Cos Cob, this
county, and is the business manager
of the New York World. He is a
very original and witty speaker and
arouses much enthusiasm and interest
wherever he goes. He is also one of
the best informed men on public mat
ters in the United States and his
pungent comments are of great in
formativ value.
Countess TurczynowIeE Is an
American woman who married a
Polish Count and was taught in Po-

familiar with her story through her
book when the Prussians Came to
Poland which had a great sale. She
is a fascinating speaker much in de-
mand and Fairfield is fortunate to

BOHEMIAN FIGHTS
EXTRADIT|0N IN
COURT TODAY

Lieut.. Fred A. Bozeman, of the
Burns Detective agency, who was ar
rested two weeks ago by Sergeant
Frank Virelli, of the State police, on a
bench warrant from the Criminal
Court of Common Pleas, in which he
was charged with assaulting Frank
Cozza, >of Broad street, is expected to
make a fight against extra dition when
arraigned today in the City court of
White Plains, N. Y.
Bozeman forfeited 5000 bonds, said
to have been furnished by the City of
Bridgeport, when he failed to appear
for trial in the Common Pleas court
about a month ago. The local author
tiles refused to give up the case, how
ever, and the Burns man was arrested
in his home at Mount Kisco, N. Y,
two weeks ago. He furnished bonds
of $1,000 at that time to guarantee his
appearance in the White Plains court.
Assault is believed to be the only
charge which has been made against
Bozeman, and some doubt exists as
to whether the New Yorker will be
extradited from his home state. If
the Connecticut authorities are sue
cessfu1 in their extradition proceed
ings, however, BoZeman will probably
be returned to Bridgeport tomorrow
or Wednesday, and will be arraigned
imm mediately.
In addition to criminal charges
which have been preferred against
him by two persons which he is al
legged to have assaulted, Bozeman is
also involved in civil proceedings
which We're started by F'ra2k Cozza
Judgment by default was rendered
against the detective by the Superior
in damages has been set for next
Friday. 1t is rumored that any
lodging on BoZernan's part may re-
suit in the assurance of a body writ.
