Bonds were fixed at $1,000. Lee, a Chinaman, testified that he went to bed last night as usual but for- got to lock a window in the back of his place. He heard a noise and, get- ng up, saw a man half-way through the window. A screen which was tacked across the outside of the win- dow had been broken off. Lee shout- ed at the man, who ran away. A Wit- ness called Levious said he saw Ozza running and that he shawed signs of fight when he came up to him. Offi- cer Litke stated that he was coming down East Main street when he was told that there was some trouble. He questioned Ozza, who told him he was running to get home. He went around t the store and found the screen ‘off the window. The defendant was next called to the witness stand and testified that he was on Main street with another fellow. ‘““The other fellow went home and I went into a yard at the corner of Elm and Main streets on business,” he said. “‘Somebody shouted and I ran because T thought they were shouting at me.” Charles Stankewicz, charged with breach of the peace at his home last evening, was given 30 days in jail. Mrs. Stankewicz testified that hubby ‘came home drunk last evening about 8:30 o'clack. In order to get away from him she went into a room and Jocked the door.

For assaulting Julius Rovenski at the Corbin Screw Corporation shop vesterday noon Robert J. Pape of Cherry street was fined $10 and costs. Pape pleaded guilty. Rovenski went Pome to dinner yesterday noon at 12 o’clock and came back shortly with some dinner for his wife, who works in the same factory. Pape, who is foreman of the screw department and hag charge of the gate noons, refused to let Rovenski in until 12:45 o’clock ~—and the fight started. Rovenski in testifying said: “I and my wife work in the same factory. I 'went out and got some dinner and was returning with my wife’s dinner when Pape refused to let me in. When I told him my wife was inside and had no dinner he told me to go to I waited until the gate was opened and when I went in he struck Jne. After he got through another fellow hit me.” A witness named Benker testified that he went out to the gatehouse to have a smoke. He saw Pape strike Rovenski with the keys that opened the gate and also saw another man D REFUSED DRINKS, SH0OTS UP SALOON Andrew Veno Bound Over for At- tempt to Kill Probable cause was found in the case of Andrew Veno, charged with assault with intent to kill, in the po- lice court this morning by Judge James T. Meskill and he was baund over to the December term of the su- perior court under $1,500 bonds. At- Jtorney McDonough appeared for the defendant. Veno went into Fowler's cafe last Saturday evening and ordered a cou- ple of ginger brandies and he did not pay for them, saying they were on the bartender, Carl Noe. He ordered a couple more but was not given them, so he shot up the place in real Wild ‘West fashion. The bartender took the witness stand in court this morning -and said that Veno came into his place and or- dered a ginger brandy. Asked what a ginger brandy was, the witness said that he mixed them, but did not know what they are, as he never drank any. Vena said the drink was on the bar- tender and walked away. A little later he came up to the bar and or- dered a couple more drinks and placed 50 cents on the bar. He put the money back in his pocket and was not given the drinks, the bartender testified. He then asked: ‘‘Are you going to give me a drink?” Noe said: “No.” The witness then said that Veno walked back toward the . door and pulled a gun from his hip pocket and fired twice at him. ““As soon as I saw him shoot at me, I ducked under the counter,” said the witness, adding: “Any man with com- mon sense would duck.” ‘When questioned by the attorney for the defense, the witness said that the first shot struck a light near the ceil- ing and that the second one went over his head and lodged in the wood- work back of the bar. The witness concluded by saying that the man wasg sober and that as far as he knew he had only one drink in his place— namely, the free one. Willlam J. Fowler next took the stand and satd that he was sitting in the cafe playing cards and he heard the defendant order a couple of drinks. He then ordered some more according to the witness and he heard the bar- tender say “Not unless you pay for the other drink.” Fowler said he heard two shots and the first thing he did was to dodge. One shot hit a light over the bar and put the room partly in darkness. The second shot was buried in the wood- work behind the bar, the witness stated. = Thomas Hart, who was in the cafe, said he was playing cards and heard no talk excepti the defendant say, “Will you?”’ John Blair stated that he was on his way home when he met his brother on Talcott street who told him of the’ shooting. Together they went after Veno and met him at the corner of Hartford avenue and North strike him. Pape took the stand and said: “Your honor I have charge of the screw department and at noon have charge of the gates. It was about 12:30 o'clock when Rovenski came %nd yanted to get in. It is a rule of the factory not to open the gates before 12:45 o’clock. When he came in he struck me first with his first.”” He stated that he then hit Rovenski several times. At the time of the fight Pape said Rovenski had no din- ner with him. Officer Collins, who made the ar- rest, sald that at the compldint of Rovenski he went out to the factory. The officer testified that the man had a hottle of tea and some lunch for his wife. SWEATERS FOR SOLDIERS. New Britain Red Cross Society Sends Consignment of 200 to Ayer Today. Earl Kisselbrack, secretary of the New Britain War Bureau, and R. H. Crawford of the Boys' club left to- day in the latter's machine for Camp Devens, where Mr. Kisselbrack Is to distribute 200 sweaters to the New Britain soldiers as gifts from the local ~ Red Cross workers. Some of the local boys at Camp Devens have already been supplied with sweaters and others have not. This has led to some criticism so that Mr. Kisselbrack will give today’s al- lotment to the men and he will also obtain the names of any others who are not thus equipped, that they may »o supplied at once.

Boston, Oct. 31.—“Mac,” the 8 months old bear cub mascot of the 236th Canadian battalion, the MacLean Kilties, is due to arrive here tonight.

They hit him several times and took the gun away from him. There were three shots in the gun which was a Colt No. 1648 53. Walter Blair told the court how he stopped in the cafe at 10:30 o’clock and ordered a drink. Before he knew it the shots had been fired. Blair said “I did not see the shots fired. T wasn’t looking at him. 1 know the light went out.” Officer Hellberg testified that he came across Veno at the corner of Hartford and North streets where the Blair brothers had caught him. The officer found two bullets in the gun. IBRIEFS OF STATE TERSLEY TOLD To Get Arrested Say “Hello Irish” to New Haven Cop “Hello Irish.” Derby—James F. Condon, formerly of this city but now attached to thel central precinct, New Haven police | force, leaped into the limelight by arresting a nineteen-year-old girl who said “Hello Irish.” When the girl's mother interfered, he also took her in. The girl is Lena Mersky, of 841 Grand avénue, New Haven, her moth- er being Sarah Mersky, 42 years old, of the same address. According to Condon’s story to Sergeant Dwyer, when he brought the girl and mother to headquarters. he was walking past 841 Grand avenue as Lena was sitting in front of the clothing store owned by her mother. She familiarly saluted him with a “Hello Irish.” He took exception to the greeting and reprimanded the girl. In reply to his reprimand he claims she made him a saucy answer and told him to move on. Then he placed her under arrest. Mrs. Mersky ap- peared on the scene as the officer was taking the girl to headquarters. She argued with him to let the girl go. She then became offensive, the officer told the sergeant, and he placed her under arrest also for interfering. Not wishing to' humiliate the two, Offi- cer Condon walked them to the sta- tion instead of calling the wagon, he explained. Danbury Hatters Lose. Bridgeport—Judge Howard J. Cur- tis of the superior court in a deci- sion handed down in the case of the United States Hat Co. of Danbury against the Hatmakers’ and Hat Fin- ishers unions of Danbury, their offi- cers and members, denies the claim of the unions for a modification of an injunction recently granted, and de- cides the main issues must be tried out in court before any.change in the order can be considered. Several weeks ago the hatmakers in Dan- bury went on strike in the shops of the United States Hat Co., a com- bination of several independent con- cerns and picketed the shops. Appli- cation for an injunction to restrain the picketing was made on the ground that officers and members of the union were interfering with the business of the company. After a hearing Judge Curtis granted a tem- porary injunction restralning the practices complained of. Chauffeurs Pay. New Haven—"“Your own rector may not be getting as much as the average chauffeur,” was the way Bishop Brewster warned more than 300 communicants of his diocese, when he addressed the gathering at the Lawn club t marked the cele- bration of his anniversary in the office of bishop. When several others had made fairly long addresses, bristling with compliments to him, the Bishop replied in a short and graceful speech, the feature of which was his plea for more salary for the priests of the church under him. “While many other salaries have in- creased, those of your own clergymen have not. I hope vou will mold pub- lic opinion so that this crying evil may be halted and justice done these good men whose path is very hard indeed.” Violated Mann Law. Avaterbury—John Clair, a railroad brakeman of Poughkeepsie, admitted that he brought eighteen years old this city for immoral purposes, when testifying in city court this morning before Judge John F, McGrath and it is probable that as a result of the evidence in the case the federal of- ficlals will take charge of the case on the strength of the claim that Clair has violatd the Mann white slave act. Clair was found probably guilty on the charge of seducing the Burhams girl, and was ordered held for trial in the superior court here under bonds of $1,000. Will Furnish Beds. Bridgeport—After being repeatedly attacked by Bridgeport newspapers for its failure to provide sleeping ac- commodations for conductors and motormen who work late ‘runs” the Connecticut company has obtained a lodging house permit and will lodge employes free of charge at 105 Con- gress street. Twelve white enamel beds have been installed in the new dormitory. -~ Previously men operating cars on the late runs were forced to either walk to their homes or sleep in trol- ley cars or any convenient place in the car barns. Train and 'Lrolley. Windsor Locks—Bliss A. Price, of Dorchester, Mass., was killed here when a train hit an automobile he was driving across an unprotected railroad crossing. He was on his way to Boston from Bridgeport, where he had just bopght the car he was in. His wife was driving behind him in another motor car in which the two had made the trip to Bridge- port earlier in the day. Mrs. Price was so overcome that she insisted on proceeding home and her car was taken in charge by a passing autoist who volunteered to drive to Dorches- ter. Think They're Summons. Ansonia—The team captains on Food Pledge cards reported that they ex- perienced some difficulty in approach- ing housewives who do' not speak English. These women do not under- stand what the cards are for and some of them think they are sum- mons to appear in court. They abso- lutely refuse to do business in the absence of their husbands. These | Emma Burhams of the same place to | women will have to be seen again and the second visits will be made after | the Italian and Polish cards are re- ceived. School children who read the news- papers can perform a great service if they will explain to the women who do not understand about the cards. SONS ATTITUDE.
