She faces arrest for obstructing jus tice by tampering with the states principal witness. Captain William P. Keegan, chief inspector of. the To- cal detective bureau, will supply as many men desired by the states att MT Alling. Lieutenant William Pol lard at present is carrying on the probe for the city.
 Torkomian, Sullivan and Diste- fano were arrested on March 7th on the sensational story of Miss Litu- waits that she was drugged when she visited Torkomian's office in search of employment. When She rcgained consciousness she$ found herself in room in a house owned by Distefanos parents and located on Pleasant street. Distefano was alleged to have been in the room with her. Medical evidence Sindicat- ed that the. girl had been assaulted. On the strengthen her story and the ,corroborating@ testimony of doctors, Prosecuting Attorney Mitchell G. Meyers issued warrants charging the three men with the statutory offense of rape. Torkomian spent but two hours in the custody of the police be- ing released under bonds of $5,00O, which the court has since refused to reduce. Distefano was released yes- terday and Sullivan this norning when their friends and relatives managed to obtain bondsmen.
 Last Tuesday in court counsel ar- gued for reduction in the amount of bonds, but Judge John F. Me- Grath declined to consider the mo- tion. It was hinted then that habeas corpus proceedings would be started. The court remarked at the time that owing to the seriousness of the charge it was possible that the cases would eventually reach superior court and if the accused's counsel was so inclined then such proceed ings would be a logical step. The idea, however, was quickly aban- doned and search made for bonds- men.
 Twenty-four hours after telling her story to the prosecuting attorney and the police Miss Lituwaitis dis appeared from the city. The police made numerous inquiries among her friends and relatives here, but found no trace of her. Handicapped by the lack of funds no detectives were sent out of the city in search of the girl.

CLEANUP DRIVE
 NOW ATHAND Many Not Able to Meet Cost of Doing the
 Work
CITY SHOULD HELP

The cleanup season is now here and many are wondering how they will manage to dispose of all the tin cans, ashes and other truck that has accumulated in their backyards since winter set in. If the health Of the community be any affair of the officials. they should give this mat ter some, attention, for there is no use denying the fact that large num- bers are not able to meet the cost of such a cleanup as the city ought to have.
 In case dirty yards and foul smell ing cellars should result in an epi- denic of sickness such as Waterbury has had in the past, it would not take long to reach point where the city would have to come to the rescue and spend more money car- ing for the sick and burying the dead than it would cost to ward off such condition.

ground than they can go over ana give it anything like the protectioa the people feel they ought to have. In the time when holdups, robberies, daylight and midnight thieving was not as common as such things are al to get along by giving men betts that they could not cover, but for. the present at least it is plain tt everybody that peter police servic,. is needed and so far as can D, learned the people are willing to pay for it. If so. there is no reason why they should not have it., The eser ice cannot be had with beats that it would talk man all his time t. walk over them, and even then hr would have to strike a lively gait

The statement has been made on more than one occasion and by diff ferent persons, that Waterbury has too many policemen. It is doubtful if there is any truth in this. On the contrary it is believed that one would be much nearer the facts if he should take the ground that the city is poorly policed. If this were not so, how is it that so many places have been entered during the past few months and few of the guilty par- ties arrested. It has been a stand ing complaint in Waterbury for years that the police beats are too long, and knowing this thieves talk advan- tage of the situation to operate at parts of beats where they have req son to believe they are not likely to an officer.
 There may be more policemen in Waterbury than in other places of the same size, but even so the fact remains, and all the evidence is open to anybody who cares to look over the ground that in most instances men are expected to cover more

IslOation Hospital Chances Slim
(Continued from Page D

It has been proposed by local in- terests that the state take over the isolation hospital entirely. But, it has also been suggesed, if the state does not care to do this at this time, it could pay the city so much per patient cared for in the hospital un- der the supervision of the Water bury Anti-Tuberculosis league.
 In support of these two plans, At torney John D. Thoms. one of Wa terbury's representatives in the leg islature, introduced 8 bill at the opening of the present session pro- viding that the state may pay pri- vately operated tubercuiar institu- tions the same rate as it costs to take care of each patient in the reg ularly operated state institutions. This bill would care for the altcrna- tive plan suggested in regards to the isolation hospital providing the state should not find it possible to take over the building entirely.
 The hearing on the Thoms bill will be held tomorrow afternoon and it lis at this time that the question will
 be settled, it is expected.
 Reports to-day were that the chances of either of the city's plans going over were slim. However, it is understood, Mir Chase, MT Harris and Mayor Hayes are working lstrenuously to have one of their sug- gestions adopted. .

PICTURE BRINGS BACK
BULL TRAIN DAYS OF 81

An enlarged framed photograph
about four by two and a half feet,
received last Saturday from his
son Jack, takes Steve harmon
in Montana. The original photo
was taken in 1882 at Maiden, 80
miles south of Lewistown. A boom
ing mining camp then, in the Big
Snowy mountains, Maiden has
long since been classed with the
ghost cities. But just recently
stories of new strikes there have
been published.
The picture, a fine example of
of the modern photographers skill.
clear and sharp in detail, shows
three long bull teams on a side
street on a hillside covered by
trees, stumps and a few small
buildings. One of the teams. made
up of nine yoke of lanky. long
horned oxen. was in charge of
young Marmon who was then just
a big. husky boy. The picture
shows Steve sitting by a stump
with his back partly toward the
camera. He looks tired and so does
his team. 1.-THE photographer want
ed me to get up and s~traighten
out my bulls" says Steve, gazing
into the picture. "but | was tired
and told him to go to hell"
He was driving for a freighter
named Frank Whitney. He first
drove between Pierre and Dead
wood and then out ahead of the
n. P. when it was building west
Miles City. He came upon
the old photo while visiting the
of an old friend at Absarokee
his summer. Jack, his son., now
stationed at Billings. had the en-
argement made and framed and
sent it home to dad as a present.
