NORWALK MUSICAL UNION’S' COMPLAINT AGAINST BRIDGE- PORT MUSICIANS ICNOBEU BY ' THE ' UNION OF THAT CITY. Say; the Bridgeport Union: Norwalk Musicians are still blowing tin horns and beating tin pans with dire threats of what will happen to the I Bridgeport Musical union “If it don’t watch out.” The complaint which they lodged with the union in this._ alleging Bridgeport musicians have no right to come to Norwalk to play, when they _ themselves can toot brass instruments and‘twing on box-wood violins just as well as any Bridgeporter, has been ig- nored, shelved in'the (lusty archives of the Bridgepbrt Musical union, so to speak. ,.And so a complaint has been forwarded to the National Federation of Musicians. What the National Federation will- do abOut the matter is only a subject for conjecture. Whatever it does, whether it decides in favor of the Nor- walk union, or in favor of the Bridge- port union, will not make much differ- ence to the latter. At least ,. that’s what Bridgeport musicians say. “If they decide against us, why we’ll that’s all. paying a per capita tax into the coffers of the Na- tional Federation and then let them can say: mustn’t do that. build up a. wall around us so that they ‘Y ou mustn’t do this and There Is no use in it at all.” said, Daniel Loeser, the orchestra leader last night, he proposed to prove A‘DLSERTED BABSE. Tied Up in Paper It Was Left at a Spring Street Residence. The town fathers were called upon this morning to take charge of an abandoned infant, left at a residence . on Spring street. Last evening at about 7:30, o’clock, a woman was seen acting in a suspicious manner on,Madison street. She car- ried two bundles one of which she left on the ground between the residences of Thomas Creamer and Charles G ray, and then hurried away. Shortly after,the bundle was taken to ‘ the Gray apartments, and those present 11 untying the parcel were astonished -0 find a live boy babv apparently ten 1 ays or two weeks old. i but up to this writing, Mr. Gray notified Chief VoWuer and e at onCe ordered an investigation. without special ' result. the description of the woman l . arrangements with Mr. I -. .4- _\ The chief made Gray to care or the waif until‘this morning. The clothing worn by the infant was old and had received previous WELLI’. In the bundle was a slip, a lane cap nda partially filled nursing bottle of milk. There was a slight splash of b': ood on being very meaIrr e. ‘ the babe' 5 mouth, and an abrasion on ' its neck which it is thought might. I, have been caused by the string which . ccured the bundle. There was at part ‘ If an old pillow cIsc loosely tied ' over the babe’s face. Dr. J M. Coburn was summoned and pronounced the babe as beingall right, and was in accord with the action tak- en by Chief Voilmer. As the package was left by the We- man soon after the arrival of a train at the depot near; by, it is thought by some that she came to South Norwalk that the members of the Norwalk union don’t know a little bit about music There Is a rule in theN ational Feder- ation laws which says members of a Musical union belonging to the Feder- ation shall not play in the district of another union if the members of that union are capable players. “I will, prove that there isn’t a man in the Norwalk union who can play ‘Yankee Doodle’ and play it right,” said Loeser. If they could they wouldn’t have to make a complaint to the National Federation. Norwalk people would engage them without being forced to. ‘IWe don’t propose to be bulldozed by alot of boys. That’s all they are, boys. LOOK at little Willie Linxweiler and Frankie Svec, hardly out of their baby clothes, trying to lead orchestras and telling us how and where we should play. No Norwalk people come here to engage a band or an or- wonder chestra." Prof. Loeser, who seems to be hear- ing the brunt of the odium In Norwalk, told how he was approached by Attor- ney John Keogh, the man who plays the drum at Hoyt’s theatre. Mr. Ke- ogh wanted Mr. Loeser to employ Nor- walk talent only when . he engaged musicians for Arion Singing society dances.‘ ' Receiving no Satisfaction, Drum Major Keogh said : “I’m a lawyer.” “You are, are you. Well, ifyou can’t on the train. Others incline to the belief that she belongs in' town, but give but slight reasons for so thinking. The investigation into the matter will be thorough and may be fraught with sensational developments. Money Factorizecl. Constable John J. Goodwin has serv- ed papers on Richard H. Golden, through Attorney George H. Vosburgh Jr., factorizing money in Mr. Golden’s possession to secure a claim of Henry C. Ely against Edwin B.

Mr. Loeser says the Bridgeport union - is going to back him in the fight to the end. Next Sunday Norwalk unions both hold meetings. It is expected Mr. Hooley of Troy, one of the board of arbitration of the Nation- al. Federation, will be present at the the Bridgeport and Bridgeport meeting to hear the story of the trouble. It is his business to ad- jiist such troubles as this one which has jarred the good feeling hitherto existing between. Bridgeport and Nor- walk musicians. Whether he will be successful in this case remains to be seen. :-A ‘= EM ERY WHEEL BURST. James Cavanagh Has a Narrow Escape frcm Being Killed.

To-day will see the end of the trial of Max Brockhaus in the criminal The taking of testimony "as This morning the summing up of the attor- court completed yesterday afternoon. neys was begun. The time yesterday was consumed by the testimony of Brockhaus, who went on the stand in his own defense, and who told the story of the Wilton trag- edy in nearly the same language as that used in his confession. Through it all and through the c Ioss examina- tion by Mr. Fessenden he endeavored to prove Willis committed the actual of it. Willis exercised an influence over him which made him his tool. Willis, too, according to the accused, had made crime and was the instigator him drunk on the day of the tragedy and had led him unwittingly to Wil- ton, there to be a witness of the crime. Willis chloroformed Mrs. Lambert and shot her husband. And "Willis did the robbing. .His most important statement was his denial of Mrs. Lambert’s testimony that she heard him say, “Do as I told you,” when Willis had her on the door In the struggle to chloroform her.

Be- sides the accused he- was the only wit- ness introduced by the defense. The taking of testimony was conclud- ed at 3 o’clock.
