road near Long Hill on Sunday night,

found guilty on "a charge of reckless
driving. He was fined s25 md costs.
Testimony given by the daughter Of
Mrs. Minnie Ticklin, who was one of
the passengers that was seriously in
jured, showed that Fred Schaffer Of
100 Federal street, driver of the ID. &
B. car, was proceeding at moderate
rate of speed. Other testimony given
proved that Worren was at fault. At
torney Greenstein represented the D.
& b. company and Clarence Lister
represented Worren. It is expected
that Greenstein will bring suit for
damages against Mack Kenzie Bros. to
repair the damages done to the taxi.

much improved.

WHO LOST $500
NECKLACE FOUND
BY BRIDCEP0RTER?

''Who' is John Phillips? is the
question that is agitating the police
circles of New Haven. and is also
causing considerable wonderment in
this city. John Phillips is the per-
son who sent the New Haven police
an $500 necklace in a package. A
note accompanied the parcel explain
ing that the jewelry was picked up at
the recent Harvard baseball
game.
The envelope that enclosed the note
was postmarked Bridgeport but be-
yond that mark had nothing which
would in any way serve to identify
the sender. Whether Phillips" which
may or may not be the right name of
the person, stole the necklace and
was afterward seized with qualms of
conscience or whether it was really
found are facts which are puzzling g
the authorities.
Advertisements have been inserted
in the New Haven and New York
papers but there has been no claim
ant for the necklace up to the pres
ent time.

WORD mot" PUT
into ORDINANCE
after PASSAGE

When the jitney ordinance was
passed early this morning there was a
little word "not'' missing from the
last paragraph of the ordinance. The
clause was that pertaining to the is
suance of licenses to operate a public
conveyance over such route or routes
'tas are named in the ordinance" :"
President Storrs said that the alb
sence- of the word "not' 'nullified the
w-tole ordinance and this morning,
several hours after the passage of the
ordinance, Mayor Wilson ordered the
city clerk to insert the word 'not'' in
the ordinance.
AS amended by the mayor the para
graph reads that licenses may be is
sued ttfor the routes not named in
the ordnance
The mayor in issuing the order for
the change said that he had spoken

VASCO'S CLOTHES
TORN FROM HIM

South Norwa1k, Conn, July 13-
Deputy Sheriff Lincoln Taylor of
Stamford; Deputy Sheriff Benjamin
J. Crawford of White Plains, N. Y,
and Peter Vasco of this city, figured
in a three cornered battle on Rail-
road avenue here this morning at
1920 o'clock, when friends of Vasco
attempted to rescue him. from the
officers who had placed him under
arrest on a warrant issued by Gov
ernor Holcomb. Vasco, who is want
ed in New York state for wife aban-
donnaent, was seized by the two sher-
ifs and pulled towards Taylor's car.
One of Vasco's friends grabbed the
prisoner by the legs, and a tug of
war commenced, the end arriving
when Vasco's pants were pulled from
his body.
He hurried to Taylor's car and an
attempt was made to start so that
he could be taken to Stamford, from
whence Sheriff Crawford was to rush
him through" to New York state.
The car refused to start. Vascos'
lawyers, Attorney Paul Connery
known as Connecticut's youngest rep
resentative in the state legislature
arrived with a writ of habeas corpus
issued by Judge John J. Walsh OF
the Court of Common Pleas, thus
blocking the attempted spiriting
away of Vasco. A crowd of severa
hundred people had gathered by this
time and Vasco and the two sheriffs

MONEY DISAPPEARS
OUT OF A LOCKER

How can $458 in cold hard cash
disappear from a trousers pocket,
when said trousers are locked up safe
and sound in locker?
This is a question which today is
worrying Joseph Kirsh, of 199 Hanai1-
ton street. 1t seems that Kirsh went
to his work early this morning in the
East End plant of the American Tube
and Stamping company and at that
time had the cash in his pocket. He
changed his street clothes for his
working garments, and placed the ap-
pare1 in his locker, securely fastening
the door. A short time later he went
to get the money, and discovered that
it had performed a Harry Houdini.' >
Kirsh notified the Detective bureau
of his loss, and the police are now
endeavoring to locate the vanished
roll

TO HOLD HEARING
ON BECK DEATH

Coroner John J. Phelan will in
vestigate the causes of the death of
Mrs. Olexander H. Beck, of Brooklyn,
n. Y, who was run over on June %,
in Stamford, when an automobile col
lided with an auto truck. The hear
ing was held in Stamford this after
noon, as the witnesses are mostly
residents of Stamford.
The accident occurred on Miller's
Bridge, Darien, which is the dividing
line between Darien and Stamford.
Mrs. Beck was reported only slightly
injured at the time of the accident.
but died on July 9, at the Stamford

50 New Cops
TOBeSW0rn |.
On Thursday

Thirty-six newly appointed police
men and 13 officers who have been
promoted to higher ranks will be
sworn in on their new duties, Thurs
day morning at police headquarters.
This number, 40 in all, is believed to
be one of the largest single groups
that has ever been sworn in at one
time.
That there will be no radical
changes in the department at the
present time, was the statement
made this morning by Lieutenant
Patrick Flanagan who will assume
the duties of superintendent of po-
lice at noon Thursday. The business
of absorbing 36 new men into the
force will occupy a considerable
amount of attention for some time,
and will prohibit at least temporarily
the shifting of beats 1t is the in
tention of the new superintendent to
do away AS much possible with the
milling which sends men from one
section of the city to another. When
an officer becomes familiar with his
beat and that section of the city to
which he is assigned, it is considered
inadvisable to move him to another
precinct where he will be obliged to
adapt himself to new conditions.
1t is improbable that any elaborate
ceremonies will occur when the new
men are sworn into office Thursday
morning. Plans for a farewell affair
to the retiring officers were being con-
sidered at one time, but are under
stood to have been dropped The
official ceremonies will probably take
place around noon, at which time the
Redga gate-Suckley regime will come to
a close.
