Bridgeport ,: Youngster
Gang— Confesses 21
Breaks - ’
BRIDGEPORT, Aug. 21. -— In
three months’ time. a boy 12 years
of age. with four others, ringing
from 11 to 14 years, of whom he
was the recognized leader, broke
and houses. acording to his
confession and is credited with again
that many by police authorities,
making a. total of 42 criminal acts
in his short: life in Bridgeport since
he moved here from Walingford.
where he had also stolen money, a
little over a. year ago. The total
value of the loot of this youthful
sang-leader in the last three months
is known to,have been around $5.000.
' The boy, who is now serving a
sentence at the Meriden. Connecti-
cut School for boys.‘ never would
have confessed to these acts had
not his youthful companions in his
criminal ventures been caught with
some pencils stolen from the Bridge-
port Paper Supply company of We.-
ter street. that they were attempting
to sell. From them the authorities
learned how the Patrick McGee
Coal company of East Washington
avenue had been entered and rob-
bed. They also learned that this
same band committed thefts at the
Sprague Ice and Coal company of
the same street, at the st. George
hall on Stratford avenue. a restau-
rant at 125 Kossuth street, the
candy store of Dorkin and 'Frank
on East Main street. a. foreign money
exchange house also on that street.
and many others, a. total of 21 in
all. Actually 42 jobs of that naturp
are believed to have been done under
the leadership of this boy. who
planned in detail all of them.
Their Method of Working.
The usual method the boys ap-
plied to enter the places, was to
break the rear window or climb in
through the cellar. ‘xOne of them
would watch while the rest ran-
sacked the place of everything worth
while that they could find. -
But the work of the gang’ did not.
stop there. They would divide the
loot and peddle the stolen goods at.
various small stores or to private
families in the foreign quarter. “'hen
Money Exchange house on East
Main street. they opened an old safe
and r-xt'ructcd the foreign coins
which they also sold. At another
business house they found a note for
three thousand dollars. Realizing
that. they could not use it they tore
it up. in this manner they destroy-
ed many other objects. either sink-
ing them in the sound or burning
them up. so as to leave no trace.
The money they spent on candy,
movies or at the beach.
The boy who is the leader of this
gang was caught some months ago
after the pencils stolen from the
Bridgeport Paper Suppy company
were traced. At that. time he was
placed on probation. as were his
followers. ,
Three weeks ago Mike Kelly,
working on s. tugboat, docked at. the
foot of Pembroke street. missed
twenty dollars from his pocket. He
reported that fact to the Detective
Bureau. Then he remembered that.
a. boy with some friends had left
the boat shortly before he missed
the money. The boy had come to
the boat often and played around
its decks. He found the boy, and
questioned him. but in vain. When
he searched hlm. however. more
than ten dollars was found. The
rest had been spent.
Sent to Mcrlden.
Again the boy was baled before
the Juvenile Court but this time he
was sent away to Merlden where
he will stay until he is Placed on
probation by the pardon board.
This boy with two of his helpers
slept: for three nights in a barrel
to escape being found by the
authorities. At the home of the lead-
er whose father. a. carpenter. who
earns fifty dollars a. week. and who
has been in trouble himself for not
supporting his family among other
.thngs. the discipline is very lax, and
various officials who were told of
the circumstances in the case lay a
great. deal of the blame for his acts
to the parents. They cannot explain.
however, his theft of money from
his teacher in the Franklin school,
where he was a. pupil. The teacher
has done her best to help him it is
claimed and be robbed her and at-
tempted to raid the principal's of-
flee.
However all his acts were classi-
fied as Juvenile deliquency. and he
was given a. chance to make good,
to forget his forty-two robberies.
and his fellow-delinquents were al-
so placed on probation but: only a.
short while passed and he stole
$20 from a. man who had befriend—
him.
ed'l‘llis startling record of a. boy
criminal can be compared with all-
other of the same gang here who
made a. similar beginning but: who
now is making good.
This boy broke into a. jewelry
store. on East. Main street and load-
ed his sack full of cheap and gaudy.
glittering Junk. He was caught the
next day and the stuff was unload-
was so ashamed that he never went
to school again where all his fol-
low pupils knew of the act. This
was about. s. year ago. Since then
he has been placed in a. good posi-
tion by the probation office and
has worked ever since. making
good. , , .

On Fairfield Avenue
Patrolman Stratton yesterday
warned drivers of the State Highway
department about. allowing one—ton
trucks to coast down ‘Fairfield ave-
nue at an estimated speed of 35
miles per hour. These trucks are
used in carting stone and gravel for
work on the state highways and
spill considerable of their load in the
road as they coast down the hill.
If this practice is not 'stoppcd the
police will make arrests on the
charge of reckless driving.

[, TILLY FOSTER. N. Y.. Aug. 21.-—
Pseudo bandits last night: held up a
New York (‘clltral train and braved
calcium flares, gunfire and movie
cameras in a sham battle staged to
demonstrate the impregnability of
the government's newly equipped
bandit—proof mail cars.
The hold-up was repulsed without
casualties to the train crew. 01' the
six make-believe bandits, three were-:3
listed as "killed." two were “cap-
tured" and one was "missing.”
Officials of the post‘omcc depart-
ment at. \Vasllington and. New York
city, as well as department chiefs of
the New York Central who super-
vised the demonstration. declared it
:1 complete success. The government
they said, would now proceed to
equip 3.000 mail cars with the bat-
tlelleld flares, riot guns, firing-shields
shot spreaders and other warlike do-
vices used in rcpulslng prc~arranged
attack. ‘
'l‘llis’little village or Tilly Foster.
titty-one miles from New York, was
well chosen for the sham battle. The
locals might have been transported
from a dime thriller of Wild west
fiction.
Cullccnled ill the grass, with slouch
hats, bobbing and rifles glisténing,
were. six speudo—bandits—employees
of the New York post office on spe~
rial duly.
Also concealed in the grass were
numerous postal and railroad offi-
cials. movie camera men, news re-
porters and Floyd Montgomery. of
Washington, director general of pub~
liclty for the postmaster general.
Two of the make-believe train rob-
bers leaped directly in the path of
the onrushing train, waving a. red
lantern and the train stopped. A ban-
dit jumped into the engine cab. An-
other got at the couplings which
fastened the engine to its train.
Shortly the engine pulled ahead
along the rails alone.
Five bandits blazed away at No. 1
mail car. Instantly, the noses of
four riot guns appeared from port-
holes and, rotating slowly. began
belching fire in all directions. At
the same time, long sticks of cal-
cium were thrust from other port-
holes, and the scene Within a. radius
of a hundred yards became as bright
as midday.
Up, to the edge of the track the
bandits charged, and beneath the car
when other riot guns appeared from
portholes over their heads. The guns
were fired directly downward. but
their cargoes of theoretical buck-
shot were caught, two feet from the
ground. upon a. conical deflector.
which sent the "lead" flying in all
directions.
That was too much for the band-
its. Three of their number already
lay motionless beside the rails. The
remaining two held up their hands
in surrender. The third. Who had
held a. pistol over the engineer and
fireman as the locomotive‘was driven
off, never came back. The robbery
had been foiled. ' .
The bandibproof features of the
demonstration car, installed since
the hold-up of a small train near
Chicago last June and the theft of
$2,100,000 worth of registered mat-
ter, were mostly adaptations of war
practices. .
The car, built of steel, was already
practically bullet proof. To add to
its invulnerability, ‘11 windows had
been replaced with wire woven glass.
Which. though it crackeQLremalned
in place beneath the battering, of
rocks and pistol-butts. The demon-
strators said the glass also would re-
sist gas bombs. ' .

HARTFORD. Aug. 21.-‘--The ranks
of trade unionists throughout the
state are reported to be torn with
dimension. over the endorsement
which has been given the candidacy
of Senator Robert M. LuFollette by
the Hartford Central Labor union
and similar bodies in several other
cities in the state. '
The controversy will be fought: out
at the annual convention of the Con-
necticut_Federatlon of Labor which
opens in Hartford September 2. The
matter of the LaFollette presidential
candidacy will come before the con-
vention in the form of resolutions.
and the debfite over the question of
endorsement is expected to be sharp
and prolonged. ‘
Although the Hartford Central
Labor union a. few weeks ago en-
dorsed LalFollette for president, the
representatives of the local unions in
that body turned down several re-
quests from the American Federa-
tion of Labor and the campaign
headquarters of Senator LaFollette
for contributions to the campaign
fund and to appoint committees to
further the \Visconsin senator‘s
candidacy.
It is claimed by those who éppose
endorsing Senator LaFolletto that
the meeting of the central labor
unions in Hartford. Bridgeport, New
Haven and Danbury, where endorse-
ment was voted were in most cases
lightly attended. and that the action
of these bodies is therefore not in«
dicatlve of the sentiment of the rank
and file of the trade unionists in

These trade unionists point
that the traditional policy of the 7
bar unions has been to steel clou-
politics and to refrain from '
ing themselves with any' of
parties. They claim that for
unions to endorse and actively 3

Follette would be to fly in the fog?
of this policy.
