He said that the Hartford authorities had notifled him that the dealer will have returned to the state next week, Charged with intoxication and breach of the peace, the latter includ- ing the discharge of a revolver n- a house on Lilac street, Michael Adu- =antis, colored, wag sentenced, to sev- enty days in jail.

CASE IS RE-OPENED- | Another Hearing Ordered in Suit of Canterowitz vs, Bonvzek. The case of Harris Canterowitz vs. Teofil and Mariana Bonvzek has been re-opened, a motion by Attorney M. D. Saxe having been granted by Judge John H. Kirkham in city court yes- terday afternoon, and assigned for a hearing at 2 o'clock the afternoon of April 24. Action was originally brought last December by Cantero- witz, who claimed a commission ' of $150 as a result of the sale of thelr farm in’/Farmington by the aefend- ants. Attorneys Klett and = Alling originally appeared for the defend- ants but later withdrew from the case, Attorney M. D. Saxe taking over the defense. At the hearing yesterday, Attorney Saxe claimed that Mrs. Bon- vzek was ill for four weeks and un- able to. secure counsel because of inability to legve her home. There was judgment by default entered against her and her husband in the sum of $150.26 and the collection of the amount turned over to Constable Fred Winkle. Constable Winkle and Abraham Ze- vin testified yesterday, the latter say- ing that he had seen Mrs. Bonvzek, that she claimed she supposed her interests were represented and that she would have taken steps to have them represented, otherwise. Attorney Frederick B. Hungerford, for the plaintiff contended that Mrs. Bonvzek is 2 representative of a certain type |« who do not realize the serlousness of Jegal procedure and are negligent in some of their dealings. Judge Kirk- ham took that ground that, if the defendants are willing to pay $5 for covering the costs, he would be will- ing to re-open the case and allow a further hearing on its merits. - WOMEN PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE.

Hart, with a bot- tle of whiskey as a part of his equip- ment, Supernumerary Policeman Har- ry Anderson, comparatively recently appointed to the force, assigned to duty as a speclal guard at the power station of the United Electric Light and Water company off Corbin ave- nue, is under suspension pending an investigation by Chief Willlam J. Rawlings. Since Policeman Anderson’: experience Wednesday night with a “firebug”, during which a lively chase was reported with several shots fired, police oflicials recelived dumors that Anderson was, accustomed ‘to take a bottle of liquor along with him as a part of his equipment. Last night Capt. T. W. Grace was informed that Anderson had a bottle with him when he left for his tour of special duty. Sergeant Hart was detailed to investi- gate, paid a quiet visit to the scene and, according to his report, Ander- son’ admitted having the 'bottle and produced it. According to the report, he expressed the belief that he was do- ing nothing wrong in having it with him. He was informed that he was mistaken, ordered to report to Capt. Grace and suspended pending action by Chief Rawlings. Following Anderson’s report rela- tive to his discovery of fire Wednes- day might, pursuit of a mysterious skulker and firing at his fleeing form, the authorities started a quiet investi- gation. Rumors relative to Anderson’s conduct on duty reached the ears of his superiors and diverted their inves- tigation along a certain course. Tt culminated last night when Captain Grace and Sergeant Hart took a hand in it. Anderson has been ordered to report to Chief Rawlings this after- noon, will be closely questioned and. upon the result of the questioning will depend whether charges will be brought against him before the board of public safety. The authorities have not yet divulged the results of their investigation relative to the visit of the “firebug” to the power station Wed- nesday night. MAY SELI: FIRE HORSES.
