HABEAS CORPUS
 ISSUED FOR BOY
Father Demands Aunt PrO= duce YOungster in Court;
 Custody PetitiOned

Judge Kenneth Wynne in superior court today issued a writ of habeus corpus, ordering Mrs. Elizabeth Mac Lelland of 19 Welles street this city to present Alvin R. Daniels, 8, in superior court next Friday morning at 10 a. m.
 The writ was issued after the boys father, Raymond H. Daniels had taken an oath that the boy was be- ing wrongfully held in the unlaw- ful custody of Mrs. MacLelland, who is the sister of his wife, who was divorced from him. At the time Of the divorce, Mrs. Daniels had taken custody of the boy, and had then lived with her sister, Mrs. MacLel- land. She died while living with her sister, and since then the boy has been in the sisters care.
 Attorney Vincent A. Miller repre- sented Daniels in the application for writ of habeas corpus. The writ as issued by Judge Wynne says in part, commands Elizabeth Mac- Lelland to bring Raymond H. Dan- iels before the court May 28, 1887 at 10 a. m., and show cause of his be- ing detained"

AHEARN ATTACKS
 FALSE ALARMS
Perverted HumOrists Free quently Responsible for
 Firemen's Injuries

Cooperation of the public was asked by Charles K. Ahearn, su- perintendent of fire alarm telegraph, in broadcast last night over WATR from fire headquarters.
 Each resident should make cer- tain that he knows the location of the fire box nearest his home, he said, stating that an amazing num- Der of persons forget where the box is located in an emergency. When the telephone is used to send in an alarm, he asked that the caller speak distinctly and clearly, since many of the city's streets have sim liar names.
 Superintendent Ahearn decried the practice of passenger cars rac- ing after fire apparatus when an alarm is received. The practice is dangerous and reckless, he said.
 Those who send in false alarms, had, he declared, perverted sense of humor. Many firemen, he said, have been injured in answering false alarms, and some of them have been crippled or maimed.
 Superintendent Ahearn, interview ed by Ray Fitzpatrick during the broadcast, explained the workings of the local fire alarm telegraph sys- tenn. He traced sample alarm from the time the box was rung to the arrival of apparatus at the scene.

NA/Ok1U1k1NCA 4AOAA \ 06S ~ ready been mentioned for his vacant post. It is reliably reported that the office of state chairman and that of national committeeman will be di- vided among two men. Chairman Roraback held both positions.
 Relative To Buckley
 While John G. Buckley of Union is being mentioned as strong con- tender for the chairmanship it is re- ported that he may be offered the national committee berth instead due to the fact that there is consid- erable objection to him as far as the state chairmanship is conSid- cred despite the fact that 1t was State Chairman Roraback'S wish that he be succeeded by the gentle man from Union.
 Many To Attend
 Hartford, Conn.,, May 22-(UP)- Funeral services were to be held to- day for J. Henry Roraback, 67, na- tionally known republican political leader and utilities magnate, who committed suicide Wednesday by shooting himself in the head. Serv- ices will be conducted from his home here. Burial will be held in Lower Cemetery, Canaan village. Leaders in political and business life were in- vited to be honorary bearers. Among those expected to be present were:
 Gov. Wilbur L. Cross, Lieut. Gov. T. Frank Hayes, former U. s. Sem ator Hiram Bingham, State Sen. J. Kenneth Bradley, national Young Republican leader, Democratic Ma tional Committeeman David E. Fitz- Gerald, Samuel R. Pryor, Jr., John o. Tilson, and former U. s. Senator Frederic c. Walcctt.
 Charles D. Hilles, New York state republican national committeeman, and ally of Roraback in "old guard" g. o. p. politics, also was expected to be present, as was former Republi- can National Chairman Henry P. Fletcher.
 The Rev. Dr. John Calvin God dard, pastor emeritus of Salisbury Congregational church, will conduct services here. The Rev. L. E. Travis. Canaan, will conduct services at the grave.

ergencies.
 The Faber assault case was tried and the defendants found guilty, after @ long hearing, and many witnesses and many law yers. The murder, however was never solved.
 A republican administration succeeded democratic admins ton. Chief Egan was doomed for retirement. A carefully guarded meeting and proposed legislation were discovered by an inquisitive newspaper man of the day. He exposed the plan, which was strongly denied, but just as he predicted, happened, and Chief Egan eventually was legislated out of office. Egan was broken hearted; honest and courageous he felt badly at his dethrone- ment by a body of men, he pre- stunned to be friendly to him. He was really more of republican than he was a democrat.
 And how can any of us forget the company for its action in dis putting the claim of the city for two per cent of its net earning, under agreement, and consented to at the time of the introduction of the trolley. Not one cent was turned over to the city treasury, in fact the company fought the city's claim, and by split court decision, didn't have to pay. But morally, the money has been due for these many years.
 Now, after control by the New Haven road for a number of years, the system comes back to the same company, the Conn. Railway and Lighting Company, that was involved in the famous two per cent struggle. There are many of us who feel the company still owes an accounting to the municipality, the court to the contrary notwithstanding.
 Even with this background of information in their hands, there are some people in Waterbury who would hand over the beauti- full and historic Green to 8 cor- poration, which fought and dis puted Waterbury's claim to a share of the earnings of the cor poration. The company doesn't even maintain a central office for its business up town; it doesn't even pay for 8 waiting station for its thousands of patrons.
 The City of Waterbury owes it nothing, but 1t owes much to our people.
 Just talk over the two per cent case with persons familiar with its history, you fellows, who would give the same corporation now operating, The Conn. Railway 6 Lighting Company, the greater part of the old Green, as @ bus trminus. Why, not let the com- pany buy the site of the old Church of the Immaculate Con- ception for this purpose. while available, NJ

unable to press his wishes before the leading officers of the conn- pany.
 A gang of strike breakers ar- rived here under the leadership of 8 tall, and sparingly built individ- ual named Jim Farley. He quar- tered his men in the old car barns. They were all strangers to the town. The old men were Water burians or near WaterburianS. The people were on the side of the strikers. Cars were started, but the operators were jeered. On Saturday night, Jan. 31, the whole center of Waterbury was mass of people. Suddenly as a car pass ed 8 brick went through one of the windows; the motorman duck ed and drove fast toward the car barn. Another car appeared and another brick, in fact the car was showered with bricks. The police appeared.
 "Go to your homes," command ed good old Chief Egan. We are all of one people; don't do any, thing to disgrace the good name of our city; I appeal to you to withdraw"
 But the people only laughed. The police were few; the super numerary force was called to add to the regular squad. Many of them baked; they were factory employees, and were afraid of the enmity of their fellow workers. Rather than go on patrol, they resigned. .,..
 The fine old police head was puzzled. What was he to do; if he clubbed the mob, no one could tell what the result would be. He did the best possible, ur- der the circumstances; finally, the two military companies were called out. Order was finally re- stored for the night.
 The riot was the undoing of an exceptional police head, civil war veteran, with plenty of brains, and a good heart. The manufacturers of the city met the next day. Disregarding the city officials, they demanded of the governor that he send outside troops to the city. And just as the church bells were tolling on Sunday night, 2,0O0 uniformed soldiers with several machine guns, walked up from the two railroad stations. The Mayor was ignored; everybody, was passed up by the manufacturers in the interests of the trolley organiza- tion. A. M. Young and his aids were powerful.
 The city quilted down. Little dis order followed except now and then brick was thrown at passing car. A trolley crew was beaten up at Faber's switch, and in March, Paul Mendelsohn, Supernumerary policeman who lived out this way, was shot and killed as he stood on a car oper- ated by strike breakers at the terminus of the North Main street line. From that time on, other cops who rode the lines, had their guns clicked for any and all en1-

(BY THE OUT EAsTER)

At the time. the trolley was withdrawn from East Main street the Out Easter wrote a history of the old line, in so far as it af- fected this particular section of Waterbury. But now, beginning Sunday, every car in the city is to be withdrawn, which means, as we understand it, busses will run through from East Main street to Willow street. This will be good news to our many factory work CTS out this way, and to others who desire to travel along to Willow street.
 Out East always had its share of trolley employees; we have even to this day. With the introduc- tion of the trolley system out here some time in the Nineties, and shortly after the opening of the line, the entire East End was sad- ened by the killing of 8 boy named Walsh, who in some man. ner got underneath the car, and was crushed to death, in the vicinity of Wall street. It was the first death in the city by reason of the trolley, and much criti- cism against the line followed.
 For years the old trolley shook every household along East Main street. Dishes were tumbled from the pantry shelves as some of the heavily ladened cars passed back and forth to the lines ter- minus. This was especially true during the summer and when the big open cars were in operation. Every car bound for Savin Rock was filled to the gills", and rumbled along the tracks of the brick pavement in thunder-like fashion. We think of those days; we think of the first opening of the line to Cheshire, and the hot nights of the summer season when we left our front verandas or porches and climbed aboard a car for a breezy ride through t he rock cut and down the grade at the Summit; what view to the left of us; how greatly we and our visitors enjoyed it. It was 8 sight to us then, and is just as pretty and attractive to the eye now, but of course we cannot see it on account of the withdrawal of the trolley cars.
 The trolley and the company that managed 1t provided many heartaches for the good and law abiding people of our great old city. Look back and think of the trolley strike of 1903; a great fuss over a little wage advance to the working crew of the institution. The trolleyman of that period worked hard, and his hours were lonE and tresome. He wanted an advance, but the company ignored the demand. A strike followed be- ginning on Sunday, January Il, 1903.
 "WeIl run these cars or bust" exclaimed 8 high official of the company, not General Manager John E. Sewell, a good soul, really on the side of the men, but
