On Wednesday afternoon State's At- torfey Hull secured a bench warrant from Judge Gager for the arrest of Abraham Fox, Mgrris Goldfaden and David Gorton 'of this city, and gave it to Deputy Sheriff Draper of this city to serve. He came here early in the afternoon and secured his men, and was able to get to New London in time to have them presented before the erlmival superior court. It is charged that on March 20, 1907, these men stole copper bond wires to the number of 312 and valued at $258 from the New Haven road. They pleaded not gullty and furnished bonds of $1,000 each for their appearance in the court next Tuesday. They have been before the city court twice because of the bond stealing case and discharged. They secured bail, the ponds being taken by the clerk upon arriving here in the evening. There were a number of other mat- ters before the court on Wednesday, but as yet there have been no trials. Several new pleas were made and a number of changes in pleas were also recorded and followed by sentences. Samuel W. Ordway fof Griswold, charged with common Mlaw burglary, was put to plea at the opening of the cour. The alleged crime was commit- ted on April 27, 1809, and the place entered_was the dwelling house of Simon Brewster of Griswold. As coun- sel, Attorney Lawless was appoinfed. Ordway pleaded guilty and was given three months in jail. Louis Lubchansky and Reuben Lub- chansky, the New London junk deal- ers, charged with the theft of copper cable from the Connecticut compan wera put to plea under a revised in- formation and both pleaded guilty. Un- der the new information the Lubchan- skys were charged with the theft on Feb. 7, 15 and 16 of 45 pounds of cop- per cable valued at $45. Judge Gager said that the maximum is $100 fine and not more than six months in jail on each count, but that in view of the agreement between the state’s attorney and counsel he would waive jail sentence and fine each $30 and costs on each count. There being three counts, the fine for each will pe $270 and costs. With the payment to the Connectlcut company of several hundred dollars and the payment of the fines the Lubchanskys will pay over $1,000 as penalty for the offense. McLaren was next presented for sentence in connection with the same matter. State's Attorney Hull moved for short jail sentence, as McLaren had been very frank in acknowledging his guilt Judge Gager said in passing sentence that in view of McLaren’s having been in jall three months that he would malke the penalty as lenient as allowed by statute and he sentenced McLaren to forty days in the New London coun- ty jail. ¢ Recess Was Taken. State's Attorney Hull asked for a temporary recess, ag he wished to in- vestigate the case of the state against Joseph Boroway of Norwich, charged with forgery in passing checks on Al- fred Adams of Norwich. Mr. Hull saig that there may be cause to further in- vestigate before trying the case and he wished to confer with Attorney Parnes, representing Boroway, and with the witnesses in the case, On the July List. Before taking recess the jurymen were called in. John F. Ahern of New London and Charles A. Gray of Ledyard were excused for the term and were paid by Clerk Parsons. At the opening .of court Charlemagne Holmes of Lyme was excused by Judge Gager for the term because he iz suffering from a nervous affection of the face. With the absence of Thomas Palmer of New London, who has removed to New York eity, there are 14 jurymen. A nolle was ordered entered in_the case against Leonard Wright, the New e —— London boy charged with breaking into a store, Case Against Woman Nolled. In the case of Ida Sherman of Po- quonoe, who was charged with having ussisted «Judson _ Buddington, who broke into the E. B, Spicer ice houses, State's Attorney Hull moved a nolle. He said that the woman is in a deli- cate condition and that within the past week Buddington had mdrried her, The <ase was nolled. Horse Thieves. Four alleged horse thieves were ar- rested Tuesday afternoon by Con- stable Charles H. Card of Groton. They are Forrest Shattuck, May Shattuck, Margaret Shattuck and Fred Pattison. Tuesday they hired a horse and car- riage of James E. F. Brown of Mvs- tic. They then tried to sell the out- t. The men were in the uniform of [ the ‘Vermont national guard. According to the story they told, Forrest Shattuck and Mary Shattuck are man and wife, while Margaret poses as the sister' of Forrest and the affinity of Fred Pattison. They vad with them when arrested three valises well stuffed with clothing. It has been found that they got a team at Slocum’s, R. L, this being the one wrecked near Willlam Hempstead's touse. The prisoners were brought into the superfor court in the afternoon on a bench warrant, charging the theft of the horse and carriage from James E. F. Brown, “The accused were then put to plea, all four pleading not guilty. This is cne of the most peculiar cases of the term. The accused are al] under nine- teen years ot age and come from Keene, N. H. - What their career will turn out to be is not known mow, but they have one that will probably astonish the natives. One of the girls is under- stood to havé told something of a story that is racy. Judge Gager appointed Attorney Daniel }.. Cronin guardian ad litem for all but Margaret Shattuck, and State Attorney Hull advised that sep- arate counsel be appointed for her as she haq said enough to warrant that course being taken. Each Got a Yi A change of plea was made by Shat- tuck and Pattison, whose right name is Pluff, and they were each sentenced to a vear in jail. The women will be held until Tuesday, and the father of Margaret, whose right name is said to be Lena Roberts, of Derry, N, H., will be communicated with, and it s ex- pected he will be here then. Both the men were militiamen at Lawrence, Mass. James Clark and Michael McGuire, Jr, changed their plea to gullty to entering Ira Lewls’ building at Jewett City. Clark was given six and Me- Guire two months fir jail. ‘The case against Arthur LaFlamme was continued at the request of the state’s attorney, and in the case against Lynch the bonds were reduced from $1,500 to $500. Sholes Case Erased. The, continued case against Emily Sholes was erased from the docket, as Mrs.-Sholes, it was stated, had set- tled with Martin Flaherty by paying him $450. She was charged with em- bezzlement, and was bound over from the city court here in April, 1908. Fla- herty worked at her place, and it was claimed that she offered to get a check cashed for him and failed to turn over the mone The cases agalnst Evprett Hewltt and Arthur Maynard west over until Tuesday. Dr. Spalding of the Norwich hospital examined the latter on ay and will report later. several of the cases are dy, court was adjourned untfl Tuesday, when the trials will take plac LABOR SUNDAY Te Be Observed in Churches on May Ninth, It is not generally known that near- ly all the leading Protestant denomi- nations are making an earnest organ- on, ized effort to correct the impre somewhat prevalent, that the Chric church is opposed to laboring people, The Presbyterians have been especia ly prominent in this work by organi & “Department of Church and Labor in Their Board of Home Missions.” Their chlef champion is Rev. Charles Stelzle, D. D, who himself became a breadwinner at the age of 11. He and other honest, fair-minded men are do- ing much to demonstrate that in the last analysis the Christian churches are doing much for the highest welfare of wage workers. They have desig- nated May 9 as Labor Sunday, to be observed by the churches in honor of the millions of tollers who daily serve mankind in the humbler places of iffe. The Methodist Federation .for Social Service has been inaugurated and is doing valiantly in this needy field. Probably Labor Sunday, this coming May 9, will not be widely observed, but it promises to become one of the great days toward which millions of the best people in’ America will eagerly look for help in solving some of our most per- plexing problems. It is suggested that ministers preach upon the underlying principles of the whole labor question ang that all Christians seek to inform themselves upon these principles.

A few minutes aftef § o'clock Wed- nesday evening teams of Adams P. Carroll and Charles Park, going in op- posite directions, collided in Shetucket street in front of the First National bank, caused by the latter being unable to get out of the car track, the wheels sliding along the rail as an effort was made to turn out. When they came together Mr. Park was thrown over the dashboard under the horse's feet, which was jumping about _excitedly, and it was very fortunate that he es- caped being trampled upon. He was assisted to the walk and into J, A. Moran’s store, where he soon regainet his composure. He was badly shaken up and complained of his left arm, on which he struck. With him was John Lanahan, whose back was somewhat injured, but neither had any broken Dbones. The Carroll double seated carriage was the only ome damazed and that only slightly about the shafts.

SUPREME COURT, Two Eastern Connecticut Cases Argued Before the Judges in the State Capitol. | ‘When Wednes: session of the supreme court of errors was opened in the capitol arguments in the Wind- ham county case of Frank R. Jackson et al. againkt the town of Union were resumed, Senator Charles Searls ar- | guing the case for the plaintiffs and Attorney W. H. Reed for the defend- ant. The case involved the right of the town of Union to tax the plaintiffs on fts sawmill plant in the town. The plaintiffs pald the amount of the tax, 75, under protest. The office of the plaintiffs is in the town of Eastford. The case was brought under section 2342 of the general statutes, The next case taken up was that of Ferdinand Girard against the Grosven- ordale company, defendant’s appeal. Brown & Perkins were counsel for the plaintiff and Searls & Russell for the defendant. This was an action for personal injuries received by the plain- tiff while in the defendant's employ. These injuries were caused by the rall- ing upon the plaintiff of a ' certain countershafting in the L _ spinning room, so-cglled, of ' the defendant’s mill. The sole negligence of the de- fendant, upon the theory of which the learned judges allowed the case to zo to the jury, was “that the defendant negligent! operated its shafting ahd connections after a portion of one of its large pulleys had been broken and it knew it and negligently failed to shut off the power driving the pulley.” As a result of the continued operation of the shafting and its connections with its brokn pulley the countershaft- ing was pulled down. ..
