DOES WATERBURY
 NEED MORE POLICE
The Question Frequently Asked and Answered in
 Different Ways
WILL COME IN TIME

Does Waterbury need more policemen This question is fre- quently asked and in every in- stance the answer is given accord ing to how much police protection there is in the neighborhood where persons discussing the question live. It has long been charged by citizens in different parts of the city, that some districts are fair ly well cared for in this line while others are almost neglected. The condition in this respect is getting worse all the time. The modern systems of transportation, notably the automobile and the bus, have made it possible for families to live on the outskirts even though they do work in stores and fac tories long distances from where their homes are. This may not be cheaper than higher rent near the center, but people like it and that being so the time is coming when most people who can afford to own car or pay bus or trolley fare will be living on the outskirts of the city and even beyond these boundaries in other towns.
 All LHlS 6OcS tO oHOW thdI lIiC city will have to add to it's police department in such numbers as will not leave ground for com plaint in any quarter. The new plan of few men using cars is a great help, but it never will take the place of the officer that paces a beat on foot and has time to get a line on what is going on. When a beat takes an officer over more territory than he can cover con- yeniently, such protection as he can give is little better than none at all. In police work as in every other line of endeavor, if you put too much on one he cannot do any thing the way it ought to be done. No matter what some may say about other things, the essentials in any community are good police and fire protection, ample school accommodation and an abundant supply of city water. It is said the fire department is well equip ped to render good service, that there is no scarcity of clean water both for domestic use and other purposes, and that regardless of the shifting of school population, no child of school age is denied a seat in comfortable school rooms under competnet teachers. It should be the aim of the officials to see that in the near future what is true of schools, fire and water can also be said of the police de- partment.

headed by the case against Joseph Wright, facing a murder count for his shooting of George Duncan in the Wolcott woods.
 Although no charge has been preferred against him yet, it is ex- pected to be a matter of form for the Wolcott authorities to bind him over to the local court on nnur- der charges. Deputy Coroner Wal ter w. Smyth's finding on Duncan's death will be the first step in the machinery of the law that will bring Wright to trial in the Water bury court.
 Two other cases will hold the limelight during the trial here. They are the cases of John R. Fulg- ham and Oscar Todd, former off, cials of the town of Wolcott who have been bound over on extortion charges. Their cases were contin- ued from the last criminal term Lewis let it be known that both men will be tried this coming term.

The trio, William Nossett, Joseph Pro- bulls and Nicola Fescie, are charged with having perpetrated one of the most daring holdups in this city in long time when they are said to have walked into the North Main street bank with guns in their hands and made off with approximately $4,000. Another member of the band who is also said to have taken part is now lodged in the Atlanta penitentiary for having committed another off, fense in the south.
 Other cases listed include three auto-homicide offenses, two arson charges and three offenses having to do with criminal assault. States Attorney Lewis with his assistant Attorney William B.
 Fitzgerald and County Detective Roland filling are busily engaged at present in preparing the cases for trial. It is expected that the criminal term will last through September and October and prob- ably end in November.

CHINESE SHOPKEEPER LAYS
 CLAIM TO FIVE SAGES

Shanghai, (UP)-A small shop keeper here who claims to be a reincarnation of five famous Chin ese sages is attracting wide atten- ton.
 Chinese scholars have studied his case, and declare that al- though he can barely read and write he Is able. when in a trance. to compose poetry in the finest classical style. He also is able to speak several dialects in the pur- est classical manner, they declare.
 Some neighbors came to ask his advice about how to repair an ancient temple dedicated to a famous scholar. The shopkeeper went into a trance, and was heard speaking a dialect which he does not know.
 When he awoke, he said the sage himself. dead for five cen turies, had spoken through him, and said. T understand now that burning incense before my image is useless so advise my worship pers to let the temple fall to pieces"

Annual Event
 Over in Ireland
Celebration in Honor of
 Battle of the BOyne

 wakes,
 The only throb she gives, Is when some heart indignant
 breaks
 To show that still she lives"
