JUST COULDN'T FOOL HIM

''I had a bird dog once." the old sportsman observed, that was really noteworthy. He never failed on a point. One day I had him out for exercise in the park, when suddenly he pointed, rigid as a stone. I was puzzled. There was no possibility of game. The grass was close clipped. The dog had his nose straight on a man seated on a bench. I thought the man might have live bird in his pocket but no, the man was in his shirt sleeves. Then had an idea.
 Pardon me. sir I said, but would you mind telling me your name%
 No, don't. mind he replied Its Partridge"

MEN RUNNING
 GAMES AT ROCK ARE RE-ARRESTED

New Haven, Aug. 11-A remarka- ble development in the so-calied Savin Rock gambling cases which will prove of statewide interest, came last night in the re-arrest of 16 persons alleged to have been conducting the much disputed games of chance.
 These arrests revealed a startling difference in opinion between the of hcials of the West Haven town court and those of the common pleas court of New Haven as to what constitutes gaming. for several of the men ara rested last night had just reopened their booths after Prosecutor Edwin s. Pickett, in consultation with Judge John R. Booth of the common pleas court, had agreed to nolle their cases
 Attorneys Jacob P. Goodhart and Simon Persky, counsel for the men who had appealed to the common pleas court from their recent fines in the West Haven court, took the cases up with Prosecutor Pickett with the result that he, with Thomas F. Eagan, chief of the state police, and Ser geant James Herman of the West Haven police, as guide, visited Savin Rock, Monday afternoon
 During this visit, it is said. the officials went to every one of the stands, the sproprietors of which were concerned in the appeals, and had the men open their games and show just how they were conducted Only eight of the 22 games inspected were said to have been found above reproach, and Prosecutor Pickett agreed to nolle the cases against the proprietors of these eight stands. who were represented by Attorneys Good hart and Persky.
 |4 It is said that MT. Pickett will continue the cases against the other 14 men when they come up for trial.
