Hides In Garage; Thief Steals $50

Secreting himself in the Goodrich-SilyertOwn garage at West Main and State streets before closing time last night, a thief later forced open a metal cabinet, stole $50 in cash and made a safe escape. Two minor breaks were also being investigated by police, i'm addition to a safe cracking at a Huntington avenue fac- tory.
 Detective Connie Shanahan found this morning that the thief had forced open the side of the metal cabinet tO get at the money, then left through either the front or side door. Since there was no sign of q break, the detective's theory Is that the thief hid himself in the place before the garage closed at 1O:S0 last night, then lcisurcly forced open the cabinet. The loss was dlscOv- cred when the Goodrich-Sil- vcrtown garage opened for business this morning.
 Thieves failed in an attemp- ted break at the store of James Famiglietti, 23 Wood street, apparently becoming frightened while trying to force open a door.
 A small amount of cigar cites and candy was stolen by burglars who broke into the store of Mrs Rose JacOvinO, 13O EastOn avenue.
 The two latter breaks arc being investigated by Lieut.. Detective Matthew Balanda and Detective William Foley.

Shea Not fin Contest

Many local democrats were sur prised at the announcement made yesterday by Judge of Probate D. Emmett Shea that he will not di- rect his forces or enter the caucus fight this spring. It had been re- ported from several different sources that the judge and the group which backed him when he trimmed Leo Brophy in the fight for the democratic nomination for the position of judge of probate in the fall, were backing George Me- tor Burkus in the third ward. and that the judge was seeking the po- sition of chairman of the town committee,
 He said many who supported him last fall were going to cam paign against Frank Green, pres ent town committee chairman, and others who opposed Shea in the fight last fall but added, T am not going to cause a fight in the party The party can't afford a bitter caucus fight" and pointed out it might result in the defeat of the party. He promised Warden John J. Sheridan who he said has made an excellent executive.
 'There is no need of me enter ing any caucus fight this sprin," the judge stated. because Warden Sheridan Is very popular with the voters at large.
 ''They know he has given a good account of his stewardship and to oppose him will react as boom- erang." He predicted renomination for Warden Sheridan and his re- election.

Oppose Firc BHl

P. August Johnson, leader of the progressive party here. is opposed to the bill which would make per- manent positions in the fire house if passed. It is now in the com mittee of cities and boroughs at the General Assembly. MT John son denied claimes of supporters of the bill that 1t would increase efficiency of the department. He believes 1t would make the Ire house more political than it is now. This is his personal opinion.
 Frank T. Green, democratic town chairman, speaking for him- self. not the committee or party, said the method used to pass the bill Is poor political ethics. He stated he believed the borough board should have passed on 1t be- fore it was introduced. He said he Is in favor of taking the fire house out of politics.
 Dr H. H. Gorton, republican town committee chairman and Mrs Edna Fenniman, prominent repub- lican. have come out in favor of the measure.
 Many local residents feel how ever, that the matter should De submitted to q vote Of the freenen before it is finally decided upon.

An increase in the number of persons using trolley cars to come to Naugatuck where they work was noticed yesterday and today. This is believed the result of the recnt drive of motor vehicle department inspectors against persons who al- legedly carry workers to the local factories from out-of-town com munities for pay. Apparently some of those who have done this. have got away and their passengers are now using the trolleys to reach the borough. The heavy fine adminis- tered by Judge Tolles in borough court yesterday to two offenders indicates local authorizing are de- termined to stamp out the auto for hire practice.
