NEW STABLE ORDINANCE DRAWN UP Refuse From Barns to Be Declarea Nuisance If Not Removed in Ten 1 Days—Physicians Criticised For | Not Reporting Contagious Diseases. ‘Health Superintendent T.

E. Cooper drew up this morning requiring the removal every ten days of refuse from stables. | This will include private stables. . Dr. Reeks explains that there is no more fertile field for the production of the fly family than refuse from stables. At present the board may declare a nuisance where ‘it believes one exists but the provisions of the new ordinances would create a nuisance ‘where the refuse is not re- moved every ten days. If the boara | approves of the ordindnce it will be presented to the common council at its June meeting. Dr. Reeks says withat there are two stables within a ' stone's throw of city hall regarding which he has received complaints. Physicians Not Reporting Diseases.

Assistant Sanitary Inspector John O'Brien stated this afternoon that the boardl of health would consider it a favor if the public would make a re- port when garbage at their homes has not been collected for one week instead of allowing it to accumulate allea i A large number of complaints have been received, Mr. O’Brien said, but this was not due to negligence on the part of Henry Furman, the col- lector.

STANLEY SUES FOR $3,000 ON NOTE Welinsky Is Defendant— Plaintift Claims to Have Endorsed Note and Then Had to Pay It. Samuel According to the well known and time worn adage, “A friend in need 1s a friend indeed.” Theodore A. Stanley has found this to be true. On October 22. 1912, Mr. Stanley signed a note for $2,000 for the ac- commodation of Samuel Welinsky and the M. D. Stanley company incorporat- ed. Since that time it is claimed that Mr. Welinsky has not paid his note and as a result Mr. Stanley has had to, and is therefore $2,000 shy on the wrong side of his ledger. Through Kirkham and Cooper Mr. Stanley is suing for $3,000, and the writ is re- turnable vefore the superior court on the first Tuesday in September. Con- stable Fred Winkle has attached property of the defendant on Willow street and Hartford avenue, In his complaint Mr. Stanley states that on October 23, 1912, the M. D. Stanley company, Inc., of this city made out its ncte for $2,000, payable i six months after date to Fannie Le vine with interest. He says that he endorsed the note as a favor to the defendant and to the corporation, but no money to repay him has been forthcoming. Accordingly Mr. Stanley, the signer of the note, has been called upon to pay the entire amount and has done so. He now seeks reparation and | damages through the courts. HUGGER GETS FOURTEEN MONTHS” JAIL SENTENCE Physicians State That MaF- gos Margosian Is a De- generate. If Margos Margosian, who was ar- ing five girls and women, should feel sentimental and affectionate during the next fourteen months he will be compelled to cool his ardor by em- bracing the warden at the Seyms street county jail in Hartford, for Judge Mangan, after giving the pris- oner a hearing in police court this morning, sentenced him to jail for six months on one count and two months each on the other four counts. ‘Late yesterday Dr. Joseph Walsh and Pr.«G. M. Flanagan gave Margo- sian a thorough examination and when they had completed it they refused to state that he is insane, although they did assert that the man is a degene- rate. On the witness stand Margosian did not seem over-intelligent and when asked through the Armenian inter- preter if he was guilty as accused, he said: “I don’t know.” He gave the same reply when asked if he remem- bered being chased Monday morning after hugging several of the fair sex. The Misses Ida Kopolowitz, Helen Kilduff and Sadie Rosenberg and Mrs. Ida Basquin, four of Margosian’s vic- tims were in court and testified against him. The fifth victim, Miss May Dil- lon, was unable ic be present because of a sprained ankle. Miss Kopolowitz, who is employed by the Connecticut Hat company, told of coming down the track near the Elm street crossing on Monday at about 12:40 o’clock and how Margo- sian approached her and made a grab at her. She said she pushed the man away and fled, It was after this as- sault that he was captured by Officer Machael Cosgrove, Office:: Kemmerer and Myer Caplan. The assault upon Miss Kilduff was even more disgusting. She told of walking past the Skinner Chuck com- pany on the railroad track shortly be- fore 7 o’clock Monday morning and said that Margosian grabbed her around the waist and lifted her o her feet. She furthermore testified that the brute kissed her. Her statements czyk, who was nearby at the time. was immediately after he saulted Miss Kilduff that Margosian attacked Mrs, Basquin. Ske said that he put his arms around her neck and began to smother her. Then she fainted and could tell no more, she said. Miss Rosenberg told of Margosian’s attacking her and Miss Dillon, saying that he grabbed her by the arm and Miss Dillon by the waist. Further- more she added that ‘“there were about fifty men across the street and 10t one came to our aid.” Myer Caplan and Officer Cosgrove also testified to the assault and the former declared that when the prisoner was captured he bit him on the hand three times. , Mr. Caplan's kand was swathed in bandages as a result, In pronouncing sentence Judge Mangan said that in the case of the assault upon Miss Kilduff he would sentence Margosian to jail for six months. On each of the other counts ‘he was sentenced to two months in Jail. It had as- DRUNKEN WOMAN ARRESTED.

RUFFINO' GIVEN SIX MONTHS IN JALL 'Light Term for Slayer of Husband—Dean, Bigam- ist, Gets One Year. Mrs. Theresa Sato Ruffino was sent to jail for six months this morning in | superior court for killing her husband, Luciano Ruffino, by shooting him on 1 the morning of March 5 at their home, | 131 Lafayette street. The charge against the woman was manslaughter to which she pleaded guilty. ' The facts in the case were presented | by Attorney P. F. McDonough, rep-| | resenting the accused and State’s At- torney Hugh M. Alcorn. Attorney McDonough told Judge Gager of the inhuman treatment given Mrs. Ruffino by her husband and of his threats to kill her. He. also. touched on the |fact of Ruffino’s alleged degeneracy and of the relations it was alleged he wished to bear with his wife. After hearing the statements of the lawyers Judge Gager said in view of | what Attorney McDonough had told him, State’s Attorney Alcorn was jus- tified in not pressing a charge of mur- der in the first degree, the accusation | i which the woman faced when arrest- ed. said“that some punishmen was called for, but he did not think he should be severe. He then named | six months in jail as her term. 1t Mrs. Ruffino behaves her sentence will be five months as she gets five days off each month for good be- havior. Great sympathy existed in this city | for Mrs. Ruffino and her treatment by Judge Gager will be endorsed by the publie. Percy S. Dean, who pleaded guilty | to bigamy, was sent to jail for one year. Dean had one wife living inJ Middletown when he married Mary | Cockayne Barrows of Seymour street, this city. He was employed in a lunch cart at the time. Dean met his Waterloo when his wife came from her home in Middletown to pre- vent an elopement between her hus- band and a woman she heard was his affinity. The Barrows girl was an entirely innocent party to the mar- riage and believed she was Dean's legal wife. WANTS “SWAT’ McCABE.

Y, 3.—A moderate southwester early today than welcomed by the candidates Resolute and Vanitie for their second contest in the prelimi- nary series. Especially was this so after yesterday's double battle in which the yachts not only struggled | against one another, but fought baf- fling winds almost the entire race| which the Vanitie won by 13 minutes | and 48 seconds in elapsed time. Minor Changes Expected. The two contenders spent the night behind the breakwater in Glen Cove. On each boat a few minor changes were made for the race today. { Designer Herreshoff spent the night on board the Resolute’s tender, Cape Cod, and held a long conference with Robert W. Emmons, manager. Both agreed that the Resolute showed plenty of speed in the first two legs of yesterday's race, but that in the light, fluctuating airs later in the day | the Vanitie “outlucked” them. Canvas Badly Wrinkled. This morning the Vanitie’s crew took a long, strong pull at the out- haul on the foot of the mainsail, for the big sheet of canvas was badly wrinkled yesterday. Captain Dennis said it would probably have to be He laughed at the sugges- tion that he was very fortunate yes- terday in picking up the favorable streaks: “The faster boat always has the luck,” he remarked with a twinkle in his eye. Another triangular course was ex- | pected for today’s race, with the start oft Parsonage Point at the end of Rye Neck. There were, however, a dozen courses available, dependable on the wind. The preparatory signal was blown and a blue peter ball was hoisted on the regatta committee boat promptly at noon. Both yachts were to weath- er of the committee boat, standing toward Long Island on the starboard tack. Associated Press Boat Off Glen Cove, June 3, By Wireless.—The sec- ond of the preparatory races held to select the yacht that will defend the America’s cup this year from a Brit- sh challenger, began on Long Island Sound this afternoon under weather that promised a repetition of yester- day’s conditions. Vanitie. owned by Alexander Smith Cochran, and winner of the first con- test, was outjockeyed at the start by Resolute, with Charles Francis Adams II, at the helm, and crossea the line twelve seconds behind her rival. The officlal time of the start was: Resolute, 12:16:30. Vanitle, 12:16:42. Twenty-five Mile Course.

Mounted Policeman Wagner and Spe- { clal Officer Dennis O'Keefe made the arrest. The two men were locked up on a charge of evading the payment of railroad fare and an additional charge of drunkenness was made against Cortel. According to the story told by Kapas, who seemed to be sober when taken into custody, he gave Cortel twenty-five cents when they got on the car at Hartford, with which to pay both fares. He says that his friend did pay their fare to Newington, but after that refused to loosen up. When the conductor looked to him for his pay he could not give it to him as he had but four cents on his person. They will be given a hearing in the police court tomorrow morning. CENTER CHURCH WELFARE CENTER OPENS JULY 6 All Children, Regardless of Race or Creed, Will Be Ehglble to Attend : On Monday, July 6, at 9 o'clock the doors to the basement of the First Congregational church will be opened for the first time for the daily vaca- tion school, a summer welfare recrea- tion activity that is entirely new to this city and the outcome of which will be watched with interest. Under the auspices of the young people of the church there will be sessions every morning of the week, except Saturday and Sunday, begin- ning at 9:15 o'clock and closing at 11:30 o'clock for six weeks, and all children of the city, boys and girls, from the ages of three to fifteen years, will be eligible to attend, These summer schools under the direction of the churcn and Sunday schools are comparatively new things. Twelve years ago five such summer centers as this were estab- lished in New York city by Robert Boville. He saw an opportunity to bring together idle children, idle churches and idle students. The un- derlying idea in first forming these centers is that during the two sum- mer months school supervision !s withdrawn from no less than eighteen million children. With many of these the vacation is a happy and healthful time; for more, however, it is a time of demoralization, if not of danger, and: it is ‘for the benefit of these children that such welfare centers were first established. After Mr. Boville had established hig first center he obtained the use of five church buildings to promote the welfare of children irrespective of race or creed. He arranged that these children should be supervised by young men and women from the educational institutions who wanted an opportunity for social service. This experiment was successful from the start and today there are more than thirty-five cities having such organ- izations during the summer. The Center church is prepared to follow the example of the larger cities in this respect. One-half of the morning will be devoted to singing, story telling, habit talks, calisthenics and games. The latter half of the forenoon will be an industrial period. The older boys will weave hammocks, the younger boys will make baskets, mats and other articles out of reed. Older girls will have sewing and fancy work and the younger ones will 4o rafia work. For the younger chil- dren there will be a kindergarten un- der the leadership of Miss Faye Rob- inson, of the Hartford School of Re- ligious Pedagogy. This welfare center will be man- aged by eighteen or twenty young people, some of whom are local High school students, some from colleges and normal schools and others who are tried teachers. The Center church will be open to all boys and girls, re- gardless of nationality or creed, and from present indications it seems that the work will be a useful addition lo the summer vacation.

Meyer Caplan, one of the witnesses for the state in the case against Mar- gos Margosian, which was heard In police court this morning sent up a when he was given but sixty cents as his witness He protested on the ground that he had lost a day and a half’s pay and had got bitten in helping to capture his prisoner.
