Unwarranted Action.

The action of the South Norwalk City
Council last night, in dismissing police-
men Frank S. Conley and Samuel Ire-
land, without a single f‘lcharge having
been preferred or a hearing given
them, was unjust and unmanly, and the
perpetrators of such an unwarranted
and star-chamber proceeding, for ,the
sake of party politics, should meet the,
condemnation of every honest man.
Two members of the Council, Messrs.
Knapp and Trowbridge, had the manli-
ness to object to the dismissal of the
officers without giving them a chance
to resign, but were voted down in the
greedy rush for the 2spoils of office.
When the police department is con-
trolled by politics, then it is time for»
the honest citizen, having the interest

' of the city'at heart, to step in and take
charge.' Party politics must, indeed,
runhigh, when the Mayor of the city,
of the same political faith as his coun-
cil, protests against such action, and
has the courage to stand up and say
that one of the officers whom it was
proposed to dismiss without warning,
was the best policeman on, the entire
force, and against whose record there
was not a blemish, is unnoticed and
overridden by his associates to' make
a place for a political friend.

The action of the Council last night,
had it been open and above board,
Would not have been condemned by all
honorable men, but the dismissal of
any public officer behind his back with-
out charges, or without a chance of
being heard in his own defense, is no
only un-American, but cowardly.

The Benefit Concert.

The total receipts of the concert
given at the Boston store for the bene-
,fit of the hospital fund amounted to
$118.65, and a certified check for the
amount has been sent by the proprie-
tors of the‘ Boston store, to Charles B.
Stevens, treasurer of the hospital
board. This is a splendid showing and
a large amount of credit is due to the
Boston store people. The following is

A Pointer for Chief Dann. ,
Captain Birmingham of Bridgeport,
last night instructed the patrolmen 'to
stop every suspicious character they
met and question them closely. If
they were unable to give a satisfactory
account of themselves, the patrolmen
were instructed to conduct them to the
police station that they might be inter-
rogated by the Officer in charge. In
this way it is hoped that the city will
soon be rid of the petty burglars and
sneak thieves with which it now seems
to be infested. -

Are Pay Checke Taxable?

During the money stringency Dan-
bury manufacturers issued about $100,-
000l1n pay checks. The question is
now asked are they subject to the state
bank tax of ten per cent imposed on the
circulation of state banks, if so Dan;
bury owes the government $10,000.
Senator Hawley, when his attention
was called to the fact, said there is a
law which would mdk'e it possible to
levy such a tax upon the scrip, but he
thought that in such a time the internal
revenue bureau would do well not ‘to'be
too severe.

Assistant Prosecuting Attorney

Hincks, of Bridgeport, has seen some
very funny things in his time, but the
funniest of all was a farmer who called
at his office Thursday and asked for a
warrant for the arrest of a State street
barber. ’

The man’s hair was a foot long. He
removed his hat and then the attorney
saw the object of the farmer’s wrath.
Beginning at the forehead and running
clear back to the collar button on his
shirt was a bald stretch of scalp.

“1 went into the barber shop above
here and sat in a chair to have my hair
out,” he began. “A quick handed bar-
ber run a mower over my head, took
my 10 cents and told me to get out. I
told ‘him to finish his work and he told
me that he had. ' There it is,” he said
pointing to the bald stretch. Mr.
Hincks advised him to see a lawyer and
bring a civil suit. ‘

The South Norwalk Council Dis-
miss Policemen Conley
and. Ireland.

 

Not a Charge Made Against Either
Officer.

At a meeting of the South Norwalk
City Council held Thursday evening,
policemen Francis S. Conley and Sam-
uel Ireland, both Republicans, were,
upon motion of Councilman McMahon,
dismissed from the police force of that
city:

' ‘he matter of a change in the force
has been talked of for some time and
on Tuesday last street rumor had it
that these ofiicers would be dismissed
at the council meeting Thursday night.

The resolution for their dismissal was
offered by Councilman McMahon, the
police commissioner, on the ground of
being for the best interest of the city.
Councilman Knapp objected to dismiss-
ing any one without giving them a
chance to resign and offered an amend-
ment to that effect, but it was defeated
by a'vvote of 4 to 2, Councilmen McMa-
hon,‘ Volk, Judson and Fox voting
against the amendment. Before vot-
ing on the resolution Mayor Lockwood
stated that officers Conley and Ireland
were the only two officers on the fOrce
against whom formal charges had not
been made. In reply to the Mayor
Councilman McMahon made the start-
ling announcement that he had no
charges to make against Conley or Ire-
land, thus indicating that both officers
were dismissed for no reason whatever
other than that both were Republicans.
Mayor Lockwood evidently understood
the political move as the admonished
Councilman McMahon that it was bad
politics to dismiss these men against
whom no charges had been made just
on the eve of the city election, and
suggested that the friends of both
would be likely to work for the Repub-.
lican ticket. He also thought that new
officers should be elected at once to
“ even up ” the votes that would be lost
by the discharge of Conley and Ire-
land. The Mayor also stated that he
did not know where they could find a
better policeman than Samuel Ireland,
and stated that not one of the Council,
nor even the police commissioner him-
self, had ever been out at night to see
if the. lice were performing their
duty; “ u replivJ Councilman McMahon
stated that he ad been out as late as 12
o’clock at night, which caused the
Mayor to suggest that 2 or 3 o’clock in
the morning. would be a better time to
investigate the police. TheIMayor also
remarked that as the Council had taken
police matters out of his hands be pro-
posed hereafter to let them run the de-
partment and he would enjoy a good
night’s rest. . . .

After the resolution dismissing offi-
cers Conley and Ireland had passed, the
Council elected John Maneyand Wil-
liam R. Pennington to fill their places,
and Walter Hal supernumary to sue-
ceed Maney promoted. . . .

several of the Councilmen after the
resolution dismissing the oflicers had
passed, in an effort to ascertain and lay
before the public the reason for their
removal, but from the Mayor downnot
a member of the Council interviewed
knew or could state why they were dis-
missed, showing beyond a doubt that
the whole transaction was for politics
only-and had been cut and dried before
the Council met.

Fred. Hcyt Laid Up.’

Fred. Hoyt, One of" the fastest bicy-
cle riders in Bridgeport, and who has
won prizes at races in' Norwalk, met
with an accident at Bridgeport, Thurs-
day afternoon, at Seaside park, which
will probably prevent his taking part
in any more races this fall. He was
practicing for the Ramblers’ race which
is to take place in Bridgeport, to-mor-
row. He had nearly finished a , fifteen
mile run on very fast time.

There was one more lap to be made.
Hoyt did not know this and in prepar—
ing for the final spurt evidently over-
exerted himself. Anyhow he started
ahead at a much increased speed. The
few people watching the race saw Hoyt
suddenly lose all control ,over his
wheel. A‘ second later it was running

at will and in another second its rider '

was thrown to the ground. He was go-
ing so rapidly that he could not saye
himself and was hurled along quite
a distance. To make matters worse
Matthewson was immediately behind
him and was unable to change his
course, which led into Hoyt. Matthew-
son was thrown from his wheel and
was badly shaken up. He escaped with
a few sc'ratchesand bruises but nothing
serious. .

It Was found that a bad bruise had
been made in the small of the back
where Matthewson’s wheel had struck
him. One of his knees was _ badly
skinned and the left side of his face
was a mass of cuts and bruises. There
was a bad cut over the eye, another on
the cheek .and still another on the chin.
Dr. Ob'er says that Hoyt Will be con-

fined to his bed for a week and possibéy

longer. He is a grandson of John
Lockwood of this place.
An Ungrateful Prlsoner- .

A prisoner was released from jail this
week by Sheriff. Clarkson at the earnest
solicitation of the man’s Wife whose
family were in straightened circum-
stances. The man had 825 thrown off
from his fine, thus escaping a term of
fifty days. The man had scarcely left
the Jail when he sent word to the sher-
iff asking the latter if he was not to
furnish him with a new suit of clothes.
It is needless to as the request was re-
fused. The indivi ual failed to appre-
ciate the charitable act of the sheriff
but displayed the ungratefulness so
often seen, in some prisoners.

Fred. D. Porch and Sidney Randall
have been arrested in Bristol for the
murder of J ohii Crowley who was
found dead in a coal-bin Tuesday morn-

head with a bottle and that Porch and
Randall. removed the remains to the
coal-bin. The autopsy is said to have
disclosed that the cause of Crowley’s
death was a fractured skull. ‘-

The strikers at the Brass shop,Bridge.

Charles Howat, a Bridgeport barber,
had a narrow escape from death through
taking a dose of laudanum instead of a
harmless cough mixture he had been
using. The two bottles stood on the
same shelf and resembled each other.
Mr. Howat became alarmed _by the
drowsy feeling creeping over him, and
making an investigation found he had
taken part of the contents of the wrong
bottle. He at once sent‘ for medicuul
assistance, and after an hour’s hard
work he was brought about all right.
The, dose was large enough to have
