Resents Arrest
 Of Father For Violating Law
Police Lock Her Up After Being Denounced as Cheap -Johnsky Faces Court Trial Tomorrow on the Charge of Buying Stolen Brass and Copper From Youths

Joseph Johnsky, 43, of 991 North Main street walked into police headquarters this morning and asked if the authorities had been looking for him. Johnsky, who is no stranger to police hospitality, was told to park his hat and stay awhile as his presence was desired in city court tomorrow morning on the charge of violating the junk law. The police have been looking for Johnsky for over a week. He explained that he had been out of town looking for work.
 While Johnsky was agreeable to remain with the police and facing the charge, his 15-year-old daugh- ter who accompanied him took a different view of the situation. She turned on the police and "laid 'em out in lavender She couldn't think of any words powerful enough to express her opinion of cheap cops" The young girl be- came so excited and so bitter in her denunciations that she was locked up on the charge of incor- rigibility.
 The accused junk dealer will face trial with seven young lads appearing as state witnesses against him. They have admitted breaking into newly established factory on Watertown avenue and carting away generous supply of copper and bronze materials. They

Visitors to Charles Island. Mill ford, will be more frequent and numerous in the future than at any time in the past. What was once a questionable resort has now become q haven for citizens who like to spend a few days in medita- tion and prayer under the direction of Dominican fathers, who hold retreats there during the summer season. The place Is well adapted for little retrospection and 1t goes without saying that after 1t becomes better known the man. agement will have to add to it's present facilities to accommodate all who will want to spend a vaca- ton on the island, which contains over fifteen acres of nice wooded l land, a small portion of which has been cleared off and on which Is located a neat chapel, q number of small buildings lighted by elec- tricity, each containing two beds and equipped with all other facili- ties necessary for first-class sleep- ing rooms.
 The buildings are all named af- ter saints whose names are familiar to most visitors. In addition there are several statutes, one represent the Blessed Virgin Mary; another of St Dominic and one of St Chris topher.
 | The exercises are substantially the same as those at q mission in Catholic parishes, except that the Way of the Cross. weather per- hitting, is conducted In the open, the fourteen stations being placed a short distance apart and reached along a path through the dense foliage. The reading of the prayers by the priest and the re- sponses by the retreatrants, mingl- ed with the melody of a great var iety of song birds make up an i'm pressive program. such as one rarely witnesses in. this part of the country.
 There is a fine restaurant, up-to- | date, cooking kitchen and comfort able housing for those who remain on the island the year round. When the tide is out one can walk across the sand bar from Fort Trumbull beach, but few take advantage of reaching the island on foot, the regular route being on board launch, which makes the voyage In eight or nine minutes. People l WnO go tneTc pTcpdTcu lOT DatH- ing have ample opportunities to take dip in the sea which lashes the land clear around 50 that folks are not confined to one spot. | Viewed from the mainland one would say that Charles Island is a lonesome place. but once you get over there you become fascinated with the surroundings and which you had planned for a longer stay. This was especially so on August 4th. when mass was celebrated at the shrine of the Blessed Virgin and thousands knelt on the green | sward and beneath the shade of giant trees during the ceremony, and later spent a few hours going here and there through the wooded part of the island. They had come on invitation extended to people of all creeds. and made up con- gregation such as must have glad dened the hearts of the manage ment, for 1t is beyond doubt that no such assemblage ever gathered there on any former occasion. not even when 1t was the scene of flstic encounters attended by sports

IMPROVEMENT ON BALDWIN STREET
Roadway Will Be Wider Than Ever and Walks
 Little Narrower
AN EXPENSIVE JOB

Although the work now being done on Baldwin St is the biggest project of the kind ever under taken on any of the old streets of the city without an assessment, some of the property owners are of the opinion that taking a foot or more off the sidewalks and let ting 1t into the street, will make the walks too. narrow for such a public thoroughfare. but 1t would not be fair to pass upon this ques- ton while the roadway and walks are torn up and the street almost impossible.
 The installation of the storm sewer, putting down permanent pavement, strengthening the curves and repairing the sidewalks will be wonderful improvement. The walks at points will be narrower than before, but the street will be wider and 1t goes without saying that this was needed. Complaints were quite common from people driving through that district that it was difficult to get through when cars were parked at either side of the roadway.
 The absence of the trolley tracks and the wider street will give more room for vehicles, so that after the job is finished many be- lieve that everybody will be satis- fled. An attempt was made to do this work several years ago, but property owners objected before they knew what it was proposed to do. After the plan was abandoned they realized that they had made mistake and regretted that they did not welcome the improvement. The plan is to continue the work | 10 South Main street, but only part of 1t can be financed this year.

Protest Reopening
 Of Poplar Place
Board of Works Calls for Hearing on Issue-Push
 Plans for Pumping Station at West Side Hill

The number of citizens who called on the department of pub lie works last night and requested improvements showed that Water bury is progressing and that no matter where the money comes from the city will have to continue making Improvements. One thing was brought out which has been a subject of comment for many years, that some of the old streets are not yet finished and that before the city can collect the assessments it will be necessary to spend a lit- tie more on them.
 There is a difference of opinion among property owners as to the advisa bility of reopening Poplar place. Several persons voiced op- position to the prospect last night. stating that out of the eight prop erty owners all but two are oppos- ed to what 1t is proposed to do. Regardless of this the board asked permission to hold a public hear ing when the matter will come up for discussion and both sides will have no opportunity to state their position.
 Hopeville and Rockville schools, being now in the inside taxation districts, had their water bills abated. A report from the bureau of engineering showed that the estimate for the construction of a sewer in Greenwood avenue amounts to $7.000. It was voted to order the completion of the grade on the avenue, SO that the assessments may be collected. A storm sewer was ordered laid on East Main street from Anderson school to the Mad River. Delega- tions from Congress and Citizens avenues called attention 10 the urgency of Improvements in their streets. They were told that these matters are under considera ton and will be taken up as soon as maps are ready. Bradley avenue residents asked that oiling of the street be carried on for a farther distance than at present. Adams street property owners want a lay out and were promised temporary relief pending a new layout. The condition of Fairfax street at Chase avende was called attention to in Q communication from Attorney Hackett, representing property owners. It was referred to the bu- reau of engineering.
 Thomas Fleming, superintendent of streets and water departments, was instructed to proceed with all possible haste with work on the pumping station which will give better pressure on Highland ave- nue and other places in that dis trict, including West Side Hill. Middlebury road, Hillcrest and other sections, where the need of the service is felt. Mayor Hayes and the board has given this mat ter much consideration for some time past and are making an effort to accommodate the people as soon as possible.
 A delegation from Hutchinson and Hewey street complained that their wells have gone dry and stated that they are in great need of water. The superintendent was
