DICKINSON ~ HIGGINS ACQUITTED OF FRAID CHARGE Judge Meskill Says Court Is Not Collection Agency. Commenting that his tribunal is not in the mercantile collection business, Judge James T. Meskill, in police court today, dismisséd charges against John J. Higgins, real estate broker, wlleging the taking of $90 from Rooco Patano of 214 Elm street with intent to defraud. He ruled that evidence imdicated that the alleged differences constitute grounds for civil action, 1t eny. Testimony introduced, accora- ing to Prosecuting Attorney George W. Klett, gave an entirely different mspect to the case, caused u temporary recess and the subsequent ruling by Judge Meskill. As a result of the ar- raignment and testimony, Probation Officer Edward C. Connolly ‘claims that Patano, the complainant in the case, has ‘previously applied for city ald and received it. How he could properly ‘do so and still have money to put into real estate, according to Mr. Connolly, will be made & subject of inquiry. Higgins, represented by Attorney Henry P. Roche, did not deny receiv- ing the three specified payments from Patano as instaliments on purchase of a lot in the Glendale tract. He contended that there was every good intention but circumstances, including prospective legal action to determine ownership end status of partnership, prevented transfer. of the title and deed ws soon as ,demanded. Hoe, through counsel, contended that he owned one-third of the tract, Dr. H. T. Bray having the property in his name and being the one who would hawe to sign any transfer. Dr. Bray, on the witness stand, sald that, until interviewed by Detactive A, J. Richardson, he was unaware of the payments by Patano and contended that full credit would be given ta him on a purchase of the lots noted. He admitted that Higgins owned on third of the property, that it was list- ed in his own name but that Higgins bad authority to sell parts, or the whole property. As to the exact amount of Higgins’ equity in the property, Dr. Bray eald it is for courts to determine. Prosecuting Attorney Klett admitted that the testimony of Dr. Bray presented a new and unex- pected aspect to the case and did not oppose dismissal of the complaint. The hearing was a continued ‘one. Junk Man Fined $50. Pleading guilty, through' Attorney A. A. Greenberg, and throwing him- self on the mercy of the court, Sam- uel Levi of 17 Laurel street, was fined $100 and costs at a continued hearing: for buying junk from minors. Of this amount, $50 was.remitted by Judge Meskill, Attorney Greenberg making representations relative to the good character of his client, his domestic conditions and willingness not to vio- late regulations again, He said that Levi ‘alded the police in every way, a frank confession of making the al- leged purchases, had given up his junk business as a result of the trouble and intends seeking employ- ment in a factory. Prosecuting At- torney Klett did not oppose leniency, admitting that the accused had made a frank confession, had aided the au- thorities and, apparently had not in- tentionally violated the law, Plant Sent to Jail, Unable to satisfactorily explain his presence in the kitchen of Mrs. Car- rie Waschow’s home at 62 Silver street yesterday, Arthur Plant of Buckingham street, Hartford, was esentenced to six months in jail. He has been arraigned in the local court previously for somewhat similar con- duct. Motorcycle Policeman Willlam P. Hayes testifled as to the arrest and finding the accused held at bay by indignant women of the neighborhood. Plant. contended that he was in the neighborhood “looking for someone” and, finding the door of the Waschow domicile unlocked entered, only to be discovered before he found the apartment vacant. Much indignant, as he claimed, be- cause of being arraigned ‘when he only acted in self defense as a result of a dispute over the occupance of a garden near his home and methods of the complainant in cultivating it, Peter McKenna of Henry street was fined $5 and costs for assault upon Fred- erick Whaples. The arrest was made upon complaint.. McKenna said that the assault, was caused by Whaples daring him to fight and ‘“‘putting up his fists.” McKenna admitted taking | the “dare.” It was contended that the conduct of the complainant’s son also had a part in causing the trouble, NYGREN IN TEXAS.

How would you like to be parents and guardians of 120 healthy hearty youngsters? You who are parents of three or four children/—how would you like to have your cares multi- plied by thirty? Ask M. Klingberg of the Children’s Home how it feels. Hor thirteen years he has looked after an ever increasing orphan iy, ... And by the way, how mbch do you really know = about ' the Chil@ren’s | Home in this city? O, yes, probably you'll say “The Children’s Home is an orphanage conducted by Rev. J. BE. Klingberg, who depends entirely on the Lord for funds to conduct his noble work.” So far, so good, but how much more do you knéw? That's about all, isn’t it? There are names on the donation list of cantributors in Oregon, South Dakota, Florida, Maine, Minnesota and California, but how much do the people right here in New Britain know about it? No public appeal for ald has ever yet been made in behalf of the Home and none is made now. Surely the faith that undertook the work is ful- filled and justified in its constantly en- larging scope. But it might nat be amiss to introduce New Britain people to some af the joys and sorrows, the handicaps, the worries, and the ulti- mate satisfaction that keep Mr, Kling- berg such a happy busy, energetic man. One Sunday evening in May, 1903, Mr. Klingberg heard from a police- man of three little lads in need or a home, and i a brief time those boys were sheltered in his own home. Soon after, a cottage on Ozone Heights was rented and gradually fur- nished and this was the nucleus of the present flourishing home, with its five large houses scattered about town, housing the babies, the large girls, the small girls, the big boys and the little boys. s Nowadays everyone is clamoring for “human ' interest,” Can you imagine any place more *chock full” of human interest than a big home for children? Why, it's simply seeth- ing with stories! For instance, there is a milking squad at the Rackliffe Helghts Home. They have faur cows and three of the older boys have learned to milk: It seems that the cows might object to too many doys fussing around so the same ones stick to this task. The lads receive a small compensation for their work which sérves to make them more sturdy and independent. Too many orphanages are justly accused of turning out children that have no self- reliance and backbone and no know- ledge whatever of the value of money simply because they have never had a chance to handle any. The milking squad will never demonstrate such a weakness as this. ‘MAD DOG REPORTED AT LARGE. A dog reported as sick, suspected of being a victim of rabies and being ‘brought to this city for treatment by a veterinary - surgeon, is reported at large, general orders having been is- sued to policemen on street duty to take it into custody, it located. The dog, ‘'reported to ‘be one of the rabbit- hunting type, was being brought to this city on a trolley car by its owner when it escaped from custody and disappeared down Main street in the darkness despite efforts of its custod- fan to reclaim it.. Dr. Burdett D. Radcliff, meat gnd food inspector of the health board, to whom the dog was belng brought . for , tréatment, made the report to the police. s . - JOHN PINCHES & SON " The Populsrity of HORSFALL-MADE Ready-for-Service CLOTHES FOR MEN cal result of excelling in the art of ready-made clothes and selling consistent prices. ‘Ht:nfull lpnde.cl:ithunetfih:uedbyhud on the premises well machine- made clothes may be, it is undeniable that they cannot in the nature of things com- pare with the productions of the human - You owe it to yourself to see these clothes, priced at from $25 to $38.
