tainment Programs '

The annual fair of St. Joseph's
Church opened last: night in Red Men's
Hall, and a large attendance resulted,
giving every evidence that the fair
will be the great success that it has
been in previous‘years.

The interior of the hall was
very prettily decorated and the booths
formed a fine picture. The cake booth
came'flrst on entering. This was done
in red and white. The Immaculate
Conception booth was blue and white,
the candy booth yellow and white.
the Sunday school booth pink and the
booth of'the Ladies' Guild was green
and white. .

The opening night was very suc-
cessful and Dr. Maher made a. few
remarks. expressing his pleasure at
the good start that was made and his
confidence of a successful termination.

The‘buoths were erected by Myrtle
Shea, assisted by Messrs. C. A. Mc-
Namara, C. E. Williams. P. F. Foley
and William'Ward. The hall was

Presumed that. Proceeds of Star.-
ographer’s Sales Supported
Her Lover in Idleness

CHICAGO, Nov. 2.--The , inter-
Ocean today says: Secret service one
rativea are working to determine to
what extent government secrets in re-
cent cases of national importau e have
beeo sold by Miss Etta McLe hound
Alexander B. Gordee,‘who yesterday
were held in $5.000 bonds to the grand
Jury on charges of conspiracy and the
theft of papers in the John R. Walsh
case.

Discovery of papers relating to the
Standard Oil. trial in the room of Miss
McLean has led to the suspicion that
she and her confederate may have dis-
closed government plans not only in
the Welsh case. but in the cases again-
st. the Standard Oil Company, the Chi-
cago and Alton Railroad and the
school book combine.

Miss McLean’s position as stenogra-
pher in District Atorney Simms' office
which she held since April, gave her
ample opportunity to obtain copies of
the most valuable papers in all these
cases. The fact that Gordee, her sweet-
heart, was able to live‘ in ldleness,
dining at expensive restaurants, for
the past six months, has made it ap-
parent he had some secret notice of in-
come. While the government oflicials
feels confident they have unearthed
a far-reaching conspiracy, they have
yet to learn Its magnitude or to what
extent its operations have injured 80
vernment prosecutions. In the pro-
secutlon of the Standard Oil Company,
the Alton and the Book combine, it
was apparent at every turn that the dc-
fendants knew in advance the govern.
ment's moves no matter how secretly
planned. The arrest of the couple, it
is believed, has solved the. enigma.

FESSENDEN SUES
BISHOP FAMILY

 

 

 

Acted as Trustee of Fund for
Mrs. Ida Peck, Widow of
Henry Bishop

 

Papers have been returned to the
civil superior court, In Bridgeport, in
an action brought by Samuel Fessen~
den, state attorney for this country,
against all the members of the well
known Bishop family of Bridgeport.
Mr. Fessendeu's count-lei are Canficid
& Judson.

1n the complaintMr. Fessenden says
that he acted as trustee of funds held
for the benefit of Mrs. Ida Peck, who
was the widow of Henry Bishop, bro-
ther of William D. Bishop.

Never Paid For Services.

Mr. Fessenden says that he has not-
ed in the capacity of trustee since
April 22, 1899, and has never received
any compensation for his services. lilo
says that he has frequent]. applied to
all the parties tntcrosteré’and they
have refused to allow hit any return
for his services, which he says have
been of great value to all parties rou-
cei'ned.

Tenders Resignation.

Mr. chsonden concludes his coin-
.plutut by asking the Superior Court to
grant him such compensation as he is
entitled to and then he tenders his re-
signation as trustee. He also asks
the court to appoint another trustee.

The Defendants.

The defendants mentioned in this
action are: William D. Bishop,‘ who
resides at. the University club, New
York; Henry A. and Nathaniel W.
Bishop of Bridgeport; Russell T. F.
Bishop of the Wigwam. Mnutonc, Flu;
Miss Mary F. Bishop, ill, the Hotel
Vendome. Boston; .Iultun '1‘. Bishop, of
Bridgeport. and Mrs. Ida Peck and
Charles Peck, of Atlantic Higdnnds,
New Jersey.

Why Fund Was Created.

This suit grows out of the action of

the late William 1). Bishop and his
son of the same name in inducing Mrs.
Peck, the widow of the late Henry
Bishop, to release all her title to the in-
come of her husband’s estate, upon
the promise to pay her $6,000 a your in
saint-annual installments.
In order to secure this income 1.000
shares of the New York. New Haven
and Hartford Railroad Company stock
was placed in the hands of Mr. Reason-
den as trustee, he to pay over to Mrs.
Peck the income pained. This socur~
lty is now. increased to 1.062 shares.

The income for Mrs. Peck came
from the property left by Mrs. Mary
Bishop, mother of William D. Ferris.
and Henry Bishop. She left her pro~
party to her sons and their widows in
trust and then to her grand children.
Henry Bishop’s first wife died and he

married again. The family were not.

pleased with this second marriage,

hence this agreement.

For the Bishop Family.
Sanford Stoddard of the firm of
Stoddard, Marsh and Stoddard, of
Bridgeport, counsel for some of the do»
' said when asked about the
suit that there was no statement to be

made at this time in regard to the po-

sition of his clients.

Mr. Stoddard said that the. com-
plaint stated the case. The only im-
portsut fact not. stated was that Mr.
Fenlanden was acting for Mrs. Peck.

Gang Tried to Bob Chief En-
gineer ltand, of‘ihe Brooklyn
Navy Yard. on Special from
a Fight in New Nation, Last
Night

Chief Engineer K. Hand, of the
Brooklyn naVy yard, was held up last
night on the platform of a train at
the South Norwalk station and a gang
of five "strong arm men" and pick-
pockets tried to «steal his watch and
money. They were unsuccessful,
however.

The attempt at robbery took place
on a special train which took a gang
of about 1,000 sports to New York af-
ter the Keyes~Summersflprlze fight in
New Haven. last night. Mr. Hand
was on his way to tilts city to visit
some relatives here and when on the
platform trying to alight from the
train the gang made its attempt. They
gathered around him and all pushed in
his direction. Two of them tried to
raise his arms in the air and just as
they were about to succeed, at man
standing on the platform who is “wise"
to such games called to Hand
‘.‘I..ook out. old man. and keep your
arms down. they’re trying to go
through you." Hand realized then what
was going on and being a powerful
man knocked down two of the crooks.
shook off the others and got away
safely with all his valuables. Two of
the crooks started to follow him, and
the person who was standing on the
platform accompanied Mr. Hand to
the Maltackenio Hotel. where he spent
the night. The two crooks who
started to follow Mr. Hand wore so
hold that he had to pull a revolver,
at sight of which they ran down the
platform and disappeared in the dark-
ness. Police laptuin Pennington was
notified of the case. but could not
locate the men.

The crowd on the train was a tough
one. comprising drunks. crooks, thugs
and sports and in almost every car
was it shell game and a three curd
moutc game in operation. willie a few
confined themselves to simple poker.

~Winolpauks Win from East
Norwalks, 22 to it

Two games of. basketball, dancing
and roller skating, all for the price of
one admission was what Mann-revs
Nash dz Youngs started last night in
their newly modeled and handsomely
decorated Rollaway Skating Rink in
North Main street.

The big basketball game of the eve-
ning, between the rink team, the Nor-
wnlks, and St. Lukc'q. 01' Stamford,
brought out the fact that South Nor-
walk has some very fine basketball
players. The game ended 19 to 17 in
favor of the Norwalks, after the score
was tied just before the time limit,
making overtime play necessary.

The first game between the Winni-
puuks and East. Norwalks, started at
821:3 o'clock with George Tullmadge
us referee. Horton began the scoring
and followud his first with two more
goals in quick succession. The play-
ing of the Winnipauks throughout
the first half was fast, the East. Nor-
wulks scoring only once, on Blyden-
burg‘s goal. The score stood S to 2
when the second half started, and
East Norwalk immediately scored
three goals. making things interesting,
but their spurt didn't. last long. Guar-
nierl then scored three goals in quick
successfor for Wiiiuipuuk. The final
score ended 22 to 11, with Winnipauk
ahead. .

The lineup and summary was as fol-

This is the Request Made Today "
of Judge .llorabaok by Com-i
pany’s President

 

Attorney Sherwood of Westport, up:
poured before Judge Rorabnck in the‘
civil superior court yesterday and ask-‘
ed for the appointment of, a re-
ceiver for the Ices at Jackson Com-
pany with offices in the Bridgeport
Savings Bank building.

The application for the appoint-
ment of a receiver was signed by
Henry '1‘. less, of Westport, who Is
the president and treasurer of the
company. \

Many creditors were represented by
counsel. George E. Hill, appeared for
Hunter and Havens, and three other
parties. Carl Foster represented. a
New York firm and Henry 0. Steven-
son, a Philadelphia firm. They made
no oppositioh to the appointment of
a receiver and Judge Roraback named
Deputy Sheriff Peter Doolun.

To Wind Up the Business.

The application asked for a receiver
to continue the business, but after the
court had heard the statement of
President. Lees it was decided to wind
up the business. Mr. Doolan must file
a bond of $2,000.

The debts of the company foot up.
to $4,000, with assets of rather a
shaky character amounting to $2,000
and the capital stock of the company
is $10,000 with the shares of the par
value of 825. Mr. Lees owns 390 shares.

It. appears that Mr. Lees parted
with Standard Oil stock and Delaware
&. Hudson canal stock in order to fur-
nish cash for the company, which
was organized on May, 1906.
Construction and Engineering Business

The company was engaged in a gen-
eral construction and engineering busi-
ness. Mr. Lees said that the failure
was entirely due. to mismanagement.
it appeared to be a case of one man
having the money and somebody else
the experience with situations revers-
ed alter a year and a half of busi-
ness.

President Lees was forced to apply
for a receiver because an attachment
had been placed upon the property in
the interest, of Joseph F. Buckley, 21
machinest. His claim is $166. Other
attachments threatened to follow.

Passengers on the Last Trip)“
From Rowayton to South‘s" j:
Norwalk Had an Exciting ‘,
Experience for a Short Tim
Lastilighi ‘

The last trolley up from Rowayton,
last night in charge of Cbnductor
Flannagan, jumped the track on the
hill near the Standard Oil Company‘s
plant and very nearly went into the
ditch on the side of the road. ‘

To make matters worse, the car
caught fire from a short circuit and
quite a bit of work was necessary
to keep it from being consumed. The
car was quite badly damaged by the
accident, but it was fortunate it was
no worse for. bad. there been many
more passengers on board they might
have been injured by flying glass.

All those in the car were thrown
from their seats, and some were brus-
ed and shaken up. George Harris, of
South Norwalk, had, one of his knees
badly hurt. _

The accident was caused by leaves ,
on the trash, which prevented the mo-
torman from stopping the car. It. was
about 1 o'clock when the car reached
South Norwalk.
