RUSSELLS COMEDIANS
COMING TO WELSH
ALL NEXT WEEK.

The coming week RuSSelPS Com
IedianS will prove quite an event
in the amusement annals of Welsh.
This we'll known and universally
liked company has the diStinc-
ton of carrying more star per-
formers than any other company
playing under a canvass theatre
in the south today.
Mr.. Lawrence Russell, the af-
fable owner of the-RuSSeIl'S Com
edianS, has five companies in the
southern country this year, and
all of them are far above the aver
age, but none are equal to the one
coming TO Welsh.
Mr.. Russell, when organizing
this company, insisted that it be
the peer of all dramatic shows,
lproven when they arrive here for
the weeks engagement Monday,
January 18th. Every performer is
a star in his or her particular line
and you are assured of seeing one
of the highest class shows that
ever visited this section of the
country.
A complete orchestra put the
| finishing touches to this wonder
full company and when you enter
the tent and sink into comfort
able seat, with foot and back rest,
you can easily imagine yourself
in one of the larger theatres in
New Orleans of Houston.
The weeks engagement starts
Monday, January 18th, and the
tent will be located near the Com
mercial Hotel. Plenty of straw on
the floor and five big stoves to
keep you warm, assures you of
being comfortable, regardless of
the weather outside.

count of fire, which we should all
guard against, and should be
hauled away regularly.
Other places we find are hard
,, to keep up on account of bad
drainage. This condition we think
can soon be overcome when the
city finishes its work of grading
and ditching, and should be look
ed after as soon as this work is
finished, and all low places should
be filled in.
Each and every one will receive
a notice as to what will be expect
ed of them as soon as these forms
are received, and we hope that our
jpeople will lend a hand to make
our little city the cIeanest in the
State.
Be ready at all times for any in
spection, whether State or local,
and have your places clean and
neat.
We wish to especially call your
attention to the clean and neat
condition of our restaurants, and
we wish to thank them for their
efforts in keeping their places in
such neat and clean condition.

The shake-up in the police depart ment with the suspension of Superin- tendent Redgate and Captain Cronan will cost the City of Bridgeport more than s1s,0oO and the end is not in sight, according to Chief Allen o. Myers of the Burns detective agency, who says Burns operatives will be in Bridgeport indefinitely as the work here ttis by no means finished"
 Some idea of what the city will be called upon to pay the Burns men was disclosed in the request of Mayor Wilson to the Board of Apportion- ment, asking that $15,000 be trans ferred from the unappropriated reve- nues of the city to the police depart ment for payment of the Burhs detec- tive agency's bill in the recent vice raids. The request was given to the subcommittee on police department and it will come up for ,consid eration Tuesday.
 So far the vice investigation in this city has not warranted the eXpendi- ture of that sum, according to several city officials, who denounce the may |or's attitude of spending plenty of

DISAPPROvES OF
 SUFFRAGE PLANK
Miss Ludington Emphatic on Conventions
 Action.

Hartford, June 12-Miss Katherine Ludington, president of the Connecti- cit Woman's Suffrage Association, to- day expressed emphatic disapproba- tion of the suffrage plank in the Ma tiona1 Republican pl- tform relating to state legislatures which have not acted on ratification. She said the plank which tries to say so little and advertently left out so much is very enlightening. On the surface it's a solemn mockery of the legislatures of Connecticut and Vermont It puts responsibility of them and earnestly hopes that will ratify.''
 Tt says in effect to these poor men who are not allowed by the governors of their states to meet: Hurry up, why don't you raufy so that the women can vote in November ?" "Does the Republican party mean by this that it expects legislators to summon themselves? Either it means this or it is a classical instance of blunder- ing. It is well to know just where to locate responsibility in our own state"

SAkO IMPLICATED IN
 PLOT TO KILL CAFARO?

That Carmelo Sako, of 8 Marlin ave-
 nue, Milford, who was arrested Thurs
 day night by State Policeman Frank
 ViTeli and members of the local de-
 tective bureau, was implicated in a
 plot to kill Joseph Cafaro, of 693 Bar
 mum avenue, and Mrs. John Roberti,
 wife of John Roberti, of 403 Pembroke
 street, was the report gained this
 morning from authoritative sources.
 The police today pursued the same
 course of silence regarding this case
 as was manifested yesterday after
 Sako had been arraigned in the City court
 According to the story told this morning, it seems that Roberti, Sako, Andrew Fusco of B Sherman street and Thomas Caperoso of 1O4 HaHett street were taken into custody shortly after the police obtained informat tion on the alleged conspiracy, in which Roberti and Sako are said to be the
 principals. Roberti is said to have bargained with Sako, who is reported to be a gunman, against the lives of his wife and Joseph Cafaro, with whom he quarreled some time ago. It is un~ derstood that Sako was to perform I the deed and be paid for his work by i Roberti-

 met on the East Side, and indulged
 in battle. Both men were arrested, charged with assault with dangerous
 weapons, and in the City court Ro-

NO CLUE TO
 ELWELL KILLER

New York. June 12-Twenty-four hours after the murder of Joseph E. ElweT, wealthy sportsman and au thority on whist, the police admitted today that they were virtually with out an important clue as to who shot him in his home in this city.
 Examination of scores of friends and acq1aintances convinced the po- lice that there was nothing to sub- stantiate a slight suspicion that he might have ended his own life. Nc weapon was found in the house.
 Detectives attached some import ance to the story told by Elwell'c z chauffeur, Edward B. Rhodes. that he knew a number of women friends had keys to Elwell.s home. These women were wont to come and go at will Rhodes told the police.
 Mrs. Elwell, who had beer legally separated from her husband since 1911, was questioned by the police last night The police declined to make public anything regarding the nature of this interview.
