Among those who spoke were WJohn Dunlay, representing Catherine Cunlay; Neri Brothers, Mary F. Con- sldine, Bridget Cassidy and Patrick ‘McGuire. The board voted in favor of paving Myrtle street from Main to Curtis streets. Chairman E. N. Humphrey stated that the Stanley Works favored the project and a petition signed by property owners .between Main and ‘Washington streets was received. It vrged that the pavement be laid. he matter was taken from the table ‘and the work ordered done. There was no opposition to or sup- port for the proposed laying of per- .manent pavement on Stanley street for 100 feet north of Hartford avenue, but as the Hartford avenue plan is Jhalted it is probable that the small stretch to the north will also be held up. It was voted to recommend per- maunent paving on Elm street from Main street to the railroad tracks. Thé German Baptist church and Ed- wurd and May Hayes were opposed. Hearings were given on the estab- lishment of grade lines on Franklin Square and Whiting street and street Jdines on Clinton street. These were 2dopted.

Pre court ordered those responsible for such a condition to be brought be- fore him; and today Julius Bruske, resident of the Liedertafel Singing spector. aspect of this case goes I ATTOF E QUESTIONS (Continued From First Page.) until this morning thought that he was the bona fide huilding inspector, was called to the stand Prosecutor George W. Klett said: “*Mr. Rutherford, you are the build- ing inspector?” “I object to taking his word for it,” said Attorney McDonough. He then asked that he produce his certificace of appointment. After going over to city hall Mr. Rutherford returned with City Clerk A. L. Thompson who produced a paper purporting to be Mr. Ruther- ford's appointment as building in- In part the paper, which was dated April 25, 1914, told of Rutherford’s appointment “in accord- ance with the city charter.” Attorney McDonough at once raised a strenuous objection, claiming that inasmuch as Mayor Quigley had a pointed Mr. Rutherford on April when the city charter explicitly states that the mayor shall appoint the building inspector in May, Mr. Ruth- erford was not appointed “in accord- ance with the city charte: “We're not bound by every Tom, Dick and Harry,” smiled Lawyer McDonald, “and as far as the legal do not know if Mr. Rutherford is the buila- ing inspector.” Continuing he said, “Every layman cannot go intc a person's house to inspect it and this paper doés not 25, appoint him as the inspector accorad- ing to the law.” Rutherford’s Testimony Immaterial. In reply Prosecutor Klett said that it was really immaterial to his case whether not. cused of violating the law ment houses and not providing capes or stalrways and to prove this it was not absolutely necessary bring Mr. Mr, Rutherford testified or He said that Mrs, Wisk was ac- on tene- es- to Rutherford jnto the case. Defends Appointment, “As to the appointment,” Prosecu- tor Klett said, “it is immaterial if he was appointed before May for he Is the acting building inspector de facto and holds it until his right is ques- tioned, not in a case such as this, bu: by someone who wants to oust him. 1 claim that his appointment is valid. Replying to this statement, Attor- ney McDonough said, “I will not ar- gue with Brother Klett as to whether or not it is immaterial for him to testify but I do argue that we have a right to know who he is and if a paper is introduced purporting to be legal it must be what it purports to be.” He furthermore said that if the appointment could be made in this manner then “‘we are not living under a government of law but under a gov- ernment of man.” Caso Is Continued. Here Judge Mangan interrupted and declared that as the case pro- gressed it might become very ma- terial to have Mr. Rutherford testify and he said that he was frank to aa- mit that there was much to be said on both sides and he was not ready to give a decision at that time. He then adjourned the case until tomor- row morning. Mayor Is Optimistic. “I think Mr. Rutherford is build- ing inspector,” ' said Mayor Quigley today. ' “I appointed him in Aprh to take office in May and in my opinion there is no question of his legally ‘holding the office.” Some lawyers were inclined to be- lieve that Attorney McDonough coula not legally attack Inspector Ruther- ford’s title in the police court. One stated that the proper course to take, if his title was to be attacked, would be to bring quo warranto proceedings before superior court. Bergstrom Appointed in April. In appointing Mr. Bergstrom build- ing inspector in 1913 ex-Mayor Jo- seph M. Halloran made the same mis- take as Mayor Quigley made this year, as he made the appointment on April 25, the same date of the month on which Mr. Rutherford was ap- pointed. This is shown by the rec- ords in possession iof City Clerk A. L. Thompson. In 1912 ex-Mayor Hal- loran appointed Mr. Bergstrom in May. How City Hall Takes It. The question of Inspector Ruther- ford’s standing was the subject of considerable discussion in City hall today. If Mr. Rutherford is not legally entitled to the office, it i3 fig- ured out, former Inspector August Bergstrom is legally entitled to it, as the charter says the building in- spector shall hold office until his suc- cessor is appointed and qualifies, Tt will not be necessary for Mr. Ruther- ford to resign if Attorney McDon- ough’s claim is upheld, as he has no office to resign from, as he never held office legally, according to the bellef of the lawyer. Mr. Rutherford has drawn salary since taking office on May 1 and many wonder whether ho will be forced to turn this over to Mr. Bergstrom if it is found that he is not the building inspector. 2 Klett Clites Precedent. This afternoon Prosecutor Klett cited several precedents of a similar nature to the case in question. One of them was Judge Mangan’s own &p- pointment to succeed Judge Kirkham and another was the case of the state versus Judge Eberle, in which the latter was appointed to succeed Judge ciety, Willlam Dreschel, ticket sel- r and Herman Schultz and Herman rhardt, who had charge of refresh- Hients at Sunday’s gatherings were _ &uch fined $20 for selling liquor on »gv:mdly without a license. YFORMER ASSEMBLYMAN DEAD. Southington, July 15.—BEdwin P. . Hotchkiss, aged eighty-one, a form- 2 . member of the general assembly, ed today. For years he was secre- 7 of the H. D. Smith company or Clark. In this case Judge Eberle was ap- pointed by Governor Baldwin on June 24, the appointment to take effect on July 1, 1913, ‘When the case came before the court the de- cisfon wds that Governor Baldwin, by this “appointment anticipated the event” and that the governor was “not bound to wait until the vacancy existed” before naming his successor. The attitude of the court was that ‘the appointment had been made to take effect at the expiration of the Jjudge's term in order to facilitate mat- ters. Prosecutor Klett's point is that Mayor Quigley named Mr. Rutherford to succeed Building Inspector Berg- sttom on May 1, at the expiration of the latter’s term. He takes the stand that the mayor anticipated the event and the appointment was made to avoid delay. As the appointment was s0 made out as to become effective on May first it is legal, according to the authoritive ruling, argues Judge Klett. ! Thinks Office Secure. Inspector Rutherford had a confer- ence today with Judge John H. Kirk- ham, acting corporation counsel, and it is understood that he was informed that his office is secure. City litems Truman L.

Steeple Jacks From Hartford at Work on Tall Stacks of Stanley Works, If the moon should not shine brightly enough to suit you some of these nights call on Charles St. John and George Bradley, give them some polish and they will fix it up for you. If the stars are dim they will fix them for you, too. Or if you want some clouds brushed away they can do it St. John and Bradley are steeple jacks and are at present engaged in massaging the interior and exterior of the big stacks at the Stanley Works. They have been in the busi- ness as a firm for four years and for twelve years both have been earning their living high over the heads of their fellowmen. One of their tricks is to build a scaffold around the top of a brick chimney without re- sorting to any scaffolding to get up to the top. How they do it is known only by themselves and they only smile when asked for the solution. They show photographs in which they are seen at work on stagings on high chimneys but they won't tell how they got the staging there or how they got there themselves. They have done considerable work throughout Connecticut and make their head- quarters in Hartford. EX-MAYOR HALLORAN IS CLERK. Attorney W. F.

Jackson, Miss, July 15.—Governor Earl Brewer was asked yesterday what he knew about divorce pro- ceedings involving Adele Blood and Edward Davis and what connection, if any, he and lra Sample had with the case. "I never heard of Adele Blood, or Edward Davis replied Governor Brewer, “‘until about three weeks ago when I received a telegram from the Butns detective agency in New Or- leans, telling me that Mr. Burns, who was in New York had wired them to find out what I knew about this very matter, and how I came to be mixed up in it I replied to this telegram just about like 1 have to you, that is, that I never heard of the parties and had no idea what connection Mr. Sample had with the divorce proceedings. Arrived in Jackson. “A few days later, however, Mr. Sample arrived in Jackson as a witness for the state in the case of Lieutenant Governor Bilbo, then on trial for soliciting a bribe. He stated that he had represented the woman and I think he said she was in San Francisco during the divorce action, while Davis was in New York. “IL am not certain whether he said he brought suit for a divorce for the woman, or .whether he was defend- 'ing her against an action for divorce brought by the man. The fact of the business is 1 paid very little at- tention to the matter, though Sample suggested that connecting my name with it was a piece of Bilbo’'s work. Is Al a Mystery. “His idea seemed to be that the Pinkerton detectives are trying to work up something on him to dis- credit his testimony against that de- fendant in the bribery case, but just how they managed to connect my name with the business I cannot im- agine. Suit for Divorce. New' York, July 15.—Adele Blood's suit for divorce from Edward Davis is being heard by Frederick Leu- buscher as referee. Frederick Es- melton Bryant, actor, has sued his wife, Jule Power, actress, naming Davis as co-respondent. It was said that the referee wanted (o Iurther investigate the alleged interest taken in the two cases by Sample, and the intimation was made that Governor Brewer was interested in some mys- terious way. Davis was quoted as having said he intended to sue Governor Brewer for alienating Adele Blood's affec- tions. Want Case Reopened. Herman L. Roth, who acted as at- torney for Jule Power and Edward Davis, defendants in the interlocking divorce suits, said yesterday that he would move before Supreme Justice Page that the Bryant divorce case, in which Referee Henry A. Foster found for Frederick Esnelton Bryant against Miss Power, he ordered back to the referee on the strength ‘of newly discovered evidence and al- leged perjury. Roth was inclined to think that the announcement of Davis that he would sue Governor Brewer for alienation of his wife’s affections was a bit pre- mature. Suits Were Inspired. “We have proof that the two di- vorce suits were inspired either by a state governor or a former United States' senator from the west,” said Roth, “but I am inclined to think that the evidence already developed is hardly sufficient in bringing an alienation suit against Governor Brewer at this stage. “What we do know is this: That Ira Sample, Governor Brewer's confi- dential agent, acted at the inspir- ation of some one interested in see- ing Miss Blood divorced. There should be some surprising develop- ments within a week.” Attorney Is Surprised. ‘When Roth was told that Gover- ror Brewer had declared yesterday that he knew neither Miss Blood nor Davis the attorney seemed very sur- prised. “Why!” he exclaimed, ‘it was Sam- ple, Governor Brewer’s agent, who presented Miss Blood to the gover- nor after the governor had attended a performance of ‘Everywoman,’” in which Miss Blood was starring, fol- lowing her appearance at the Cen- tury theater., Jackson, Miss., on Jan- uary 13 of last year.

Glaser of Meriden and music being sung by the choir. At the close all those present were in- vited to the Parish hall for a so- clal. Purse Presented at Social.

Mr. Steege's Past Life, The ordination to the ministry of Mr. Steege, which was commemo- rated last night, took place on July 14, 1889, in'Council Bluffs, ITowa. Mr. Steege was the son of a minister of the German Lutheran church and was born in Ida, Michigan in 1867. He was educated in Dundee, Illinols where his father is still a minister, having celebrated the fiftieth anni- versary of his ordination last year. After the ordination of Mr. Steege he was pastor of a church in Council Bluffs for six years and after that in Lyons, Iowa for ten years. In that town, in 1899, Mr, Steege’s first wife died, leaving two of their own and two adopted children. By his second marriage Mr. Steege has four children. In January 1906, Mr. Steege be- came pastor of St. Matthew's church in this city, taking the place of the Rev. William Moenkemiller, who be- came a professor in Concordia college, St. Paul Minnesota.
