Rumpus Over ‘ Arrest
Of Norwalk Man _
S a y 3 Chief
Doesn’t Know Law

His STATEMENT

Calls Charges Political
and Denounces
Westport Newspaper
—Wants Facts

wns'rpon'r. March 7.'—-Weatport
is alive today with discussion over
the charges made against the West-
port Town court. pertaining to its
methods in handling criminal cases.

Charges were made by Captain of
Police “falter Duffy. who stated that
the efforts of the Westport police to
maintain law and order were useless
in the face of thwactlon of the court
in various cases.

Captain Duffy took the matter up
with the Police committee. who. un-
der Chairman Charles M. Kemper.
have started an investigation and
will make a report of this investiga-
tion to the Selectmen of the Town.-

The case that brought the matter
to ahead came up in the Town Court
on Tuesday morning, when Joseph C.
Smith. of 6 Chapel street. Norwalk.
and Peter Arman of Richmond Hills.
N. Y.. were to appear to answer to
the charges of reckless driving pre-
ferred against them by Captain Duf-
fy. following a collision on the Post
Road in which both cars were badly
damaged. ,

The statement of the police was to
the effect that after an hour's con-
ference between Judge Godillot.
Prosecutor Bradley and attorneys
representing the accused. the four
left the Town Hall without a word
of explanation as to the status of the
case.

Prosecutor Bradley gave out a
statement to the Westportcr Herald
this morning in which he states that
Captain Duffy does not know his
business and that he did not present
any evidence in the case of the men.
He states it is for this reason that
the cases were not brought up in
court. The prosecutor's statement
follows:

in the issue of the Westport
Standard under date of March 4.
it states Captain Daily has made
complains-so tilc‘Poiics Committee
regarding tho-scum: taken in the
Town Court. in respect to the cases
of Pencil. Smith and Armand.

In ordinary courtesy it would
seem the complaint should first
have been made to the officials com-
plained of. but the Police Com-
mitteo evidently filed the com-
plaint with the Westport Standard
in their haste for newspaper um
luricty. 1

The facts in the Pcnell case are
these; Officer Duffy served a sum-
m’ons on Pencil to appear in court:
the officer was so far inexperienced
he did not notify the prosecutor to
prepare a warrant for the hearing.
until the Prosecutor was compelled
to search tor'Duify and secure the
facts from him.

Pcnell appeared in court. which.
notwithstandin‘ the mtement of
the Standard to the contrary. W“

SAY BARONET
IS LEADING RUM
RUNNING SHIPS

NEW YORK. March'i’r—Sir Bro-
derick Cecil Hartwell, baronet, in,
ternalonaily advertised rum seller
today was believed by federal om.
cials to be aboard the liquor—running
steam yacht Istar. supervising the
unloading of a large shipment of
Scotch whiskey for the American
bootleg market. /

The Istar. a veteran in the Ame:-
ican rum running fleet is the of
twenty-eight heavily laden boats
that now make up the smuggling
fleet at anchor of! the Long island
and New Jersey coasts. safely rid-
ing the sea outside the twelve mile
limit. It is the largest liquor fleet
ever assembled there. and its com-
bined cargo—each vessel's decks arr.
piled high with cases of liquor—dis:
an estimated value of $11,000,000.
The authorities estimate 'thcre are
224.000 cases of assorted liquors
aboard.

Scouts of the federal prohibition
agents are responsible for the report
that the Baronet is believed to no
on the lstar. Bis reported presence
recalls circulars 'rccently distributed
by him on both side: of the .xtlau-
tic, m which he offered stock in his
liquor/selling enterprise, advertising
a. twenty per cent pron: every any
days. Dispatches from London
shortly alter the first oi the year
said he had announced he soon
would ship his fourth cargo to the
Jersey-Long island rum row.

Customs officials reported today
that their patrolling tasks had been
complicated by the breaking up of
ice in inlets on Long Island and else.
where. materially assisting small
boats to evade detection in running
the liquor ashore from the fleet.

Dogs Chasing Deer ‘ ,
in Silvermme

Richard Gustafson. game warden,
issued a warnirlg today to owners
(if dogs that are running deer in the
Silvcrminc section. It appears that
a buck, a doc and a fawn have been
run by dogs for the past week. The
three were at the place of Madame
Henrietta “'akefleld. the opera sing-
er. Sunday. They were chased by
dogs and the next day only the doc
and the fawn returned.

The buck has been reported run-
ning at the factory of the Nor-walk
Tire and Rubber company at the
“'innlpauk station. badly cut.

The does and the fawn were last
seen. chased by dogs. in the neigh-
borhood of the \Vilson property in
Sier Hill yesterday and they were
heading for upper Silvermine. Mr.
Gustafson declares the owners of
the dogs are subject to arrest. He
has notified the state game warden
and a search is being made today
for the deer and the dogs.

was arrested the omcer allowed him

who examined the man advised the
officer he could not certify the man

The omcer and chairman of he
Police Committee. after holding the
man from the time of his arrest
until 6 o'clock. communicated with
the prosecutor to rescue them from

the New Canaan avenue railroad
crossing committee to hold a con-
ference with General Manager

and Hartford Railroad company
early next week. '

At this conference. a plan for the

Haven road.

The letter received from ‘.
W‘atcrman reads as follows:

February 29th to General Man-

ager Bardo. would you be good

enough to send me a copy of
the plan for the elimination of
the grade crussing at New

Canaan avenue. which is refer-

red to in the above letter?

Rev. George B. Tompkins. pastor
of the Norwalk M. E. church. who
lg a warm supporter of the agitation
for a. bridge over the New Canaan
avenue railroad crossing. announced
this morning that he intended to
bring the matter to the attention
of the mob of his parish Sunday it
is probable that some sort of a vote
upon the entire progcct will be taken
by the men.

The Rev. Andrew F. Chamberlain.
pastor of the First M. E. church also
declared today he favored the pro-
ject of eliminating the danger to
life at the crossing and would brmg
the matter before his congregation.

The Senator said that Slemp was
in Florida: that the President did

and had telegraphed McLean he‘-

Senator Harrison. Democrat. Mia.

Lodge “thought it at all strange

that McLean should know the
whereabouts of Slemp when the
President himself did not."

“I think he knew McLean had
been with Slcmp," replied Senator
Lodge.

"I think it is little short of out-

the President’s name in here, in a
place where he cannot speak for
himself.

“I think he should be iefted above
the debate that has been running
here for several weeks. which has
been based on gatherings of the
gutter. on whisperings of the corri-
dors. on newspaper reports— every
sort of rumor and caiumny and
false story. many of which have
been exposed as absolutely false. ’

“The Next President.”

“He wiil be as prompt in punish-
ing any misdoing as any man in the
Chamber. He has done nothing to
justify a. personal attack of any
kind. He‘s entitled to all the re-
spect that Congress can give him.
He will. in all probability. be a. can-

the Presidency. I belime will be

Senator Lodge said. except for the
occasion when Senator Tillman of
South Carolina made a ferociius at-
tack upon President Cleveland. the
apparent agreement that the Ex-

heretofore. observed carefully.

Sermon

 

 

For over an hour. “Gypsy" Simon
Smith last night at the services
hold at the Nbrwalk )1. E. church
answered questions he had received
during the past week while preach.
ing at the church. The attendance
at the service was large.

The two principal questions asked
"was it wrong to play cards" and
“was it wrong to dance?" In reply
Rev. Smith said that a person had
to answer them largely by them-
selves as it depended upon win:
kind of a Christian the person
wanted. to be.

Rev. Smith. however. emphasized
the fact that card playing led to
gambling and dancing of the mod-
ern kindd to great .sorrow in many
cases- He warned parents to take
an interest in the young people and
prevent them participating in pub-
lic dances and in playing cards.

The last evening service will be
held might by Rev. Smith. His
stay in Norwaik will close Sunday
night when he will tell the story of
his life; Prayer at the services last
night was oa’eredd by Rev. Clifford
Hutchins. of the Westport Congre-
gational church.

At the meeting of the Building
Committee of the Common Council
last evening. permtsion requested by

Komgan was requested to furnish a
new set of plans and according to
the regular procedure will appeal
the decision. which will be taken up
at the next meeting of the City
Council.
When Mr. Kolligan applied for
permision to erect the building re-
sidents of that section rforwarded a
petition to Building Inspector Hub-
bell and the Building Committee.
protesting against the granting of a.
permit. When the matter was
brought up at the meeting lagst
evening. many residents of that sec—
tion were present to enter their pro-
test in person.
It is claimed by the residents of
the section that the erection of the
store will cause a depreciation of the
property in that section and that it
will be a nuisance to the community.

Mr. Kolligan was represented at
the meeting last evening by Attorney
Freeman Light of the firm of Light.
Dunbar and Quinlan. The protest
is causing a great deal of interest as
there kinvolved the question as to
