MILFORD COP
is CRITICIZED
FOR SHOOTING

Staid old Milford was the scene of
one OF the widest connections seen in
that place in many a day last night
when about 100 students Of the Mil
ford Preparatory school, formerly the
Rosenbaum school, formed a parade at
the school early in the evening dressed
in their regular garb and covered over
with pajamas and marched in squad
formation from the school to the CEN
ter of the town, UP and down the
green, singing Justify as they went
along. Yale and the other big colleges
throughout the country in their cam
pus PUSHES never had anything on the
boys of Milford Prep for stirring up
excitement last night. The parade
was held in observance of the opening
of the fall term of school when the
boys got together and turned out to
let Milford in general know that they
were back in town.
The evening might have been a de-
cided success if the law in the hands
Of Chief James M. Maher, Captain
Fowler and Officer Clarence Douglas
had not butted in and attempted to
break UP the celebration. When the
marchea's reached a point near the
Me odiSt CHURCH on Broad street,
Chief Maler and his two trusty aids
appeared upon the scene and attempt
ed to disperse the mob. The sight OF
the police patrol sobered UP a number
Of the celebrators and there was a
general tendency to Cheat it, on the
part of the students. But the police
! were determined in their efforts to en-
force the law SO they forsook the pa
troll and gave chase to the flying stu
dents on foot. One of the gang is al
| legged to have thrown a brick at the
head Of Chief Ma11er which missed
that worthy custodian of the law and

knee.
