Another, the report alleged, conferred with a fugitive from justice, knowing at the time the sought for lobbyist was wanted for questioning by the committee.

 Trace Back to November
 Activity of a firebug here has ben traced through fires taking place since early in November, with 25 or more blaZes ascribed to the dangerous criminal. Fire de- partment officials became suspi- cious after definite signs of incen- diarism were noted in fires in the North Elm street section, and be- gan a careful hunt for the man re- sponsible for the blazes.
 When investigation failed to re- suit in any definite evidence against one or more persons, the aid of police was sought and Sup erintendent Joseph H. Mclean CO., operated with Fire Marshal Dennis J. Lahey by assigning several pat rolmen to p1ainelothes duty. Just previous to this move, two lads were arrested when acting suspi- ciously near two fires in the Orange street section, but were freed after day of questioning.
 Twenty Men On Search

Important Arrests, Petty Crime Waves-NO Promo
 lions, No Radio, Passing of Late Deputy Feature

Perpetration of several sensa- tional crimes. solution of a num- Der of puzzling mysteries, the ending of an incipient wave of street assaults and sluggings and the lack of any major promotions marked the year 1884 in police de- partment circles. Other high lights of the year ending were the unsuccessful attempts instituted to secure a police radio system for Waterbury, decision to revive the Policeman's Ball and coopera- tion of the local department with police and authorities of other cit es and towns in investigating Grimes.
 Waterbury's police had only an Incidental part in the biggest crime story of the year in this part of the state-the murder of two Wolcott residents by John Crow, aged recluse, and the killers sub sequent escape despite the efforts of scores of state policemen, con- stables and volunteers. On the June afternoon that the murders sped to the scene, even Supt. Jos- were committed, Waterbury police sph H. Mclean making the em- ergency trip. State police, how ever, called in by Wolcott authori- ties, took over the handling of the case when they arrived, and called on local police for only occasional help. Last seen jumping out of his dynamite laden car and rush. ing into the heavy woods, Crow is still a fugitive.
 Rowland Boy Killed
 A case that attracted wide in- trest was the hit-and-run killing of youthful Sherwood Rowland as he played in front of his Colum bia boulevard home last spring. Police put every available man to work on the case, and a day and a half later, Earl Benson, 29, who had lived in this city only a short time was arrested as the skip driver. He was found guilty and given a year in jail.
 Several gangs of burglars and robbers were rounded up during the year. Street assaults, which had ben growing in number, were halted when patrolmen were as- signed to plainclothes duty in areas where the crimes had been committed and after several Youthful highwaymen were placed under arrest. In the greatest burglarly here in. years, thieves escaped with $3,O00 fin cash from the offices of the Ar nour Co. on West Main street. Po- lice are still working on the case, following the few clues left behind by the burglar or burgars. Breaks into several clothing stores were attributed to out of town gangs,

Local Courts Record Heavy Judgments in Past Year;
 5S Years in Prison Time Meted Out By Judges

Post and four other plaintiffs brought a petition to have the city ofiicials busted from office. The registrars, Michael D. Slavin and Albert O. Taller won the case when Judge Dickenson found they had not violated the rules of their offices.
 On. the criminal side, the trial of the Salinardi brothers, Frank and John on aggravated assalut charges, proved the most colorful. Both brothers were acquitted by a jury after a trial of several weeks.
 Benson Case
 Another criminal case of import. ance was the automobile homicide hearing of Earl Benson. who pleaded guilty to hit and run charges involving the death of the young son of MT. and Mrs. Sher- wood Rowland, in the Columbia Boulevard section. Benson was given a year in jail.
 The courts are not open from the middle of June until the mid- Idle of September and the annual reports of the clerks of the courts are usually prepared in mid-sum- mer. Then the number of cases filed and their dispositions are made known.

AUSTRIA LOSES
 TOURIST TRADE
February Revolt and Mur- der of DOllfuss Deferred
 Many Visitors
BY FERDINAND c. M. JAIN (United Press Staff Correspondent

\OAQuoU GLCS9 0suM SOkAOSkSVAAACht|
 Vienna (UP).-Austria has made some progress toward economic recovery in 1894 despite two bloody civil uprisings.
 The February revolt of the so- cialists which was suppressed by Chancellor Engelbert Dollfuss and the attemptde Nazi coupe d'etat in July, in which Dollfuss was mur- dered, have deterred many tourists from visiting this country.
 A large portion of the popula- tion lives almost exclusively from tourist trade and this meant loss to the national income. In addi- tion Germany continued to bar prospective German visitors to Austria by imposing a visa fee of 1000 reichmarks ($380(.
 An increase of 52,000,O00 schill- ings ($1O,OOO,0O0) in the states expenditures for army and police forces was required to insure maintenance of domestic peace.
 Owing to these and g. few other unforeseen expenses, the budget showed deficit of 30,000,OOO schillings ($6,00O,000) more than in 1883, although revenues were increased and other expenditures reduced. Despite these drawbacks Aus tria's economic situation has slow ly improved.
 The currency remained stable; the discount rate was lowered from to AZ per cent; tax re- turns increased and unemploy- ment declined.
 Austria's adverse trade balance was about 25O,00O,000 schilling, or almost "A per cent less than in the preceding year, although imports of raw materials were increased. Harvest results were between and 10 per cent below the average
