Connelly Tells of Construc- tive Results in This City Probation Officer Edward C, Con- nelly, in presenting his annual report to Judge Benjamin W. Alling for the year ending June 30, 1923, tells of the great work which is being done by means of the probation system and calls to his attention the need of a new court room for New Britain. Statistics presented in the report show that 77 cases were carried over from June 30, 1922, and that the num- ber placed on probation during the year from July 1, 1022, to June 380, 1923, was 204 which made the total on probation 281, an increase of six over the corresponding previous per- fod. In this group there were 170 men, 11 women, 20 boys and three girls. Of this number 179 observed terms and were released, 17 were re-arrest- ed and four escaped. There were 67 men, three women, 10 boys and one girl remaining on probation at the end of June. The amount of wages and money collected for support of wives, fam- ilies and children totalled $6,386.51; for the year cnding June 30, 1022, it was $2,986.19. The amount of fines and costs collected was $4,205.01, on June 30, 1922, it was $1,656.75. Cash in bank received on unsettied accounts totals $1,013.11, The report in part follows: “It is evident from the foregoing statistics that, with few exceptions, those who have been placed on pro- bation have lived up to their obliga- tion to the court, as the number of those rearrested and those who es- caped is small in comparison to the total number placed in my care. Most of the men and boys appreciate the fact that when placed on probation they are saved the stigma of a jail sentence, have enjoyed their freedom, retainad their places of employment and continued to help in the support of thsir families, thus saving their familles from becoming objects of charity. “In noting the increased number of cases turned over to the officer for in- vestigation and possible settlement out of court, it is interesting to recall that this form of service was intro- duced in the year 1909 by the Hon. George W. Klett, who was then pros- ecuting attorney. Each year since kas continued to prove the wisdom of handling the cases in this way and the procedure is comparable only to that of a domestic relations court. The m.ost sacred and intimate relations of domestic life and other problems which ought not be given publicity, arc laid bare to the officer. In the majority of the cases it has been pos- sible to so adjust and settle the dif- ferences that the good name and dig- nity of all concerned has been pre- served and reconcillations effected in cases where it almost seemed impos- sible, in fact would have been impos- sible, if the trouble had been aired in open court. “It may not be amiss, in view of the fact that the board of police com- missioners recently drew attention of those in authority to the need of a new court house, to quote from the report of your officer in 1916, in ref- crence to the same matter. “‘We are still anxiously looking forward to the day when we shall have a court house befitting a city of the size, population and wealth of New Britain. As has been so often emphasized by others, the present bullding is antiquated, too small and altogether unsuitable for a court house and is about large enough for Fire Dept. Co. No. 1, who ngw share it with the police department and city and police court, “‘Women, children, and others having business with the court should not be compelled to come to such a building in a locality unsuitable ow- ing to nolse and odors, aside from having to pass through the police station to reach the court and pro- bation officer’s room upstairs. “It often happens during a session of the court that business has to be suspended owing to the noise from the fire department motor apparatus, passing railroad trains and wagons. This is especlally the case in summer when the windows have to be kept open, » Since that time the population has increased by many thousands, the clerk of the court has offices in the court, and the need of a new and proper building is greater than ever, “New Britain has been fortunate in the selection of judges and it is to he regretted that the city is losing the services of the Hon. George W. Klett who for over two years has been the presiding judge of this court and con- nected with court in an officlal capa- city for 28 years. “As probation officer I wish to thank Judge Klett for the many cour- tesies and aid given me during the years 1 bave been in the work and to express my appreciation of the sound judgment displayed and humane way in which he handled the varied as- sortment of cases coming before the court. “As in former years the success achieved In the probation work has been made possible by the cordial co- operation of the judges and every of- ficlal of the court, police department and social agencies of the city, espe- cially the Welfare association and board of pubiic charities. “Respectfully submitted, “EDWARD C. CONNELLY, “Probation Officer.” PROVIDENCE MILLS SLOW Providence, July 14.—Unless condi- tions soon improve in the cotton plain goods markets, Rhode Island mills en- gaged in that class of production may some manufac- turers said today.

JUDGE REBUKES PERRIS IN SON'S DIVORGE SUIT —_— Threatens to Order the Senator From Court For Smiling At Daughter- in-Law’s Replies. Big Rapids, Mich,, July 14.—Unite ed States Senator Ferris, who was a witness in the divorce suit of his son, Phelps Ferris, said that his son's wife was a fault-finder and was given to nagging young Ferris, Testimony in the cas was completed and briefs will be submitted to Judge Dunham of Grand' Rapids. On cross-examination by Attorney Wicker, Senator Ferris said that his son's wife was not a very good mother or wife. “You are trying to dominate this cage, aren’'t you?" the attorney asked. ‘No, sir !" declared tre senator with spirit. “You can't see any redeeming quali- ties in Mabel, can you?"” was the next question, “8he has many redeeming : quali- ties,”” answered Mr. Ferris, The senator was rebuked by Judge Dunham, who threatened to have him removed from the court room if he did not conduct himself properly, be- cause he persisted in smiling while Mrs. I'erris was testifying, “Senator, you will have to conduct yourself in a different manner,” Judge Dunham suddenly broke forth., "It is very unpleasant for Mrs. Ferris to have to sit on the witness stand and have you look at your lawyer and smile at every question and answer That must be stopped.” When the judge threatened to have him removed from the court room the senator rose from his chair, “I beg your pardon,” he sald. SQUIRRELS BURNED 00T Hollow Tree in Central Park Housing Little Fellows, Mpysteriously De- stroyed, New York, July 14.—The fashion- able squirrelville section of Central Park east was thrown into confusion early today when the Elm apartments, a giant tree in whose trunk a dozen squirrel families made their homes, went up in flames. A policeman spled a wisp of smoke shooting out of an upper hole. When he arrived with a bucket of water, the tenants were fleeing, scampering through his legs and across the lawn. The flames were too strong for the bucketful of water and a fire com- pany had to be called. Firemen frank- 1y expressed themselves perplexed as to the cause of the fire, although Mi- chael Casey, one of their number, sug- gested tentatively that a flapper squir- rel might have carelessly dropped her post-breakfast cigarette.

W. Alling when arraigned before him in police court this morning on charges of wilfully and unlawfully killing a dog. Prosecuting Attorney Joseph = G. ‘Woods presented the state's case and Mr. Zehler again acted as his own counsel, ‘What Is a Chicken? A question which arose in court was under what heading a chicken might be classified. .According to the statutes of Connecticut a man has a right to shoot a dog if the canine ia pursuing or harassing a domestic ani- mal. In view of this fact Judge Al- ling expressed the belief that Mr. Zehler might have been justified in shooting the dog inasmuch as it had been testified that the dog was pur- suine the chickens. Prosecutor Woods raised an objec- tion, however, and stated that a chick- en is not a domestic animal. He said that it belongs to the family of rep- tiles and therefore comes under that heading. After court Prosecutor Woods ex- plained to representatives of the press that a chicken is a member of the reptile family. He said that he learn- ed this from authority and that one might glean the fact by examining the scales on a chicken's legs. In passing judgment on Judge Alling sald to Mr. Zehler: “Not under all circumstances have you the right to do anything you want to, to protect your property. You must comply with provisions of the law and there are certain con- citions which permit a strange dog to roam on your property. In this case, however, I do not find you gullty and you are discharged on both counts.” Henry J. 8chauffler or street was the complainant. Both Mr. and Mrs. Zehler testified that the dog had been chasing chickens and Mr. Zehler said that he saw the dog have a chicken in his mouth. In discharging Mr. Zehler Judge Alling stated that the dog was apparently pursuing the chickens, Reckless Driving Case Continued.

NEW BRITAIN DAILY'HERALD, SATURDAY, JULY 14, 1923, ZEHLER DISCHARGED BIG FOREST FIRE Raging in New Hampshire Woods and Some Concern Is Felt For Volun- teers Fighting Flames Plymouth, N, H, July 14—~Word was awaited anxlously taday of the fate of the 12 or 15 men who went into the woods Thursday in the Beebe river district to battle with the fire that has beep raging there for sev- eral days.
