An order, issued by the Connecticut Company, which went into effect today, permits the motormen to use stools while running cars with air brakes on the following lines: Wethersfield, Vest Hartford, Prospect avenue, ranKlin avenue, Sisson avenue, Elm­

wood, New Britain, Windsor and Rain­bow, Middletown, South Manchester, {ockville, CrosBtown, and Rockville

and Stafford Springs.The order states that the motormen

are to use the stools only while outside the territorial limits of any city or borough. As Manchester is only a town it would appear from the condi­tions of the order that the motormen on the South Manchester line may sit down and take things easy from the time they leave the city limit of Hart­ford until they return on the next trip. They did not take advantage of that point today, however, but stood up while on Main street between the south terminus and the Center. After eaving the Center they made use of

the stools again. If the crosstown motormen use the stools only between the north terminus and the Center they might about as well not bother with them at all. Still, a short rest is better than none.

leve that the reiu]_wiil^ibo'^Miy clnillgelKrom lists nominated hyv rep u ld i^ s and den S crats at the primaries. The chief con­test of course centers in the fight on the license question. It is exj)ected to be close. The question of closing the saloons at ten p. m., or later, will also be decided upon Monday and a special ballot box will be set apart for the purpose.

It is freely predicted that the ten o’clock closing law will be supported regardless of the question of license or no license. The question of laying .a twelve mill tax will prove the chief attraction for the voters at the town meeting. The other matters to be act­ed upon are to be found in the call of the annual town meeting on page 5 of this issue of The Herald.

“to which >■( i;gr(‘ss can better devote Its attenili n at tln coming session.

“The trade between the eastern ports of the United States and South America is a most valuable trade and now equals something like $250,000,- 000. But I'lircpean nations, appreciat­ing the growing character of this trade, have by subsidies and other means of eiieonragement so Increased the sailings of large .and well eipilpped vessels from Europe to the ports of South .\merlca as visibly to affect the proportion of trade which Is coming to the T'nited States by the very limited service of a direct character between New York and South American ports.

Former Schoolteacher Falls Fighting the Trust.

Kansas City, Mo., Oct. 1.—An error of $100,000 in estimating the cost of

lubricating plant Is said to have been the cause of a tangle in the af­fairs of the Sunflower Refining compa­ny, organized and managed by Miss Hermannn Kaessinann, a former schoolteacher of Rochester, N. Y.

A state receiver for the company has been appointed, and creditors have forced the concern Into bankruptcy. It was known among oil men as “the woman’s oil company.”

When Miss Kaessmann began busi­ness in 1905 she was hampered by the Standard Oil company’s competition, but she fought the trust, and two years ago her company was doing a profitable business producing illumi­nating oil.

When Miss Kaessmann decided to build a lubricating plant instead of hiring an expert she and her assistants planned the plant and estimated Its cost at about $75,000.

When the plant was finished last July the cost aggregated $175,000. The extra $100,000 took most of the compa­ny’s working capital. In the bank­ruptcy proceedings It Is alleged that the company transferred Its property :o certain preferred creditors.

“So Inadequnte Is the American mer- hiint marine toda}' that in selecting

auxiliary ships with which to make our navy an instrument of offense or defense or Indeed In sending it around the world as a fleet we have to call on vessels sailing under a foreign flag to carry the coal and to supply the other needs of such a journey. W'ere we compelled to go Into a war today our merchant marine lacks altogether a sufficient tonnage of auxiliary unarm­ed ships absolutely necessary to the proper operation of the navy, and were war to come on we should have to purchase such vessels from foreign countries, and this might under the laws governing neutrals be most diffi­cult.

Aiding Private Concarna.‘Of course we are familiar with the

argument that a ship subsidy would be contributing to private companies out of the treasury fund of the United States. But we are already thus con­tributing In various ways on similar principles In effedt by our protective tariff law, by our river and harbor bills and by our reclamation service. We are now putting money In the pockets of shipowners, but we are giv­ing them money with which they can compete for a reasonable profit only with the merchant marine of the w’orld.

“From my observations I think the country Is ready now to try such a law and to witness Its effects upon the foreign trade of the United States.”

Klaw & Erlanger’s production of ‘ ‘The Round Up” will be the attraction at the Parsons Theater for the entire week of October 4. This spectacular melodrama of life in southwestern Ari­zona, when General Crook was chasing Cochise, the famous Apache marau­der, and his band of truant redskins back to their reservation, has made a remarkable appeal to theatergoers. Its story is true to the heart and to na­ture. Its characters are striking, well drawn and cleverly contrasted, and the entire performance teems with fascin­ating dash and spirit from start to fin­ish. Matinees will be given on Wed­nesday and Saturday. Seats go on sale Thursday.

Porterhouse Steak or Liver?Two colored barbers were together

in a shop. One was a young man ; the other was old. The young man took off his apron and smarted out of the door. “ Y o ’s gwine to get a drink, Jim?” asked the elder. ‘ ‘Dat’s what I ’s gwine to do.” ‘ ‘Go and g it yo drink. I yoost teredo de same ting when

was young. When I wuz first mar ried dab wuz a gin mill next to de shop wha’ I wucked, and I spent in it fifty and sebenty cents a day outen de dollah an’ a naif I earned. Wal, one mawnin I went into de butchah shop, and who shood cum in but de man wat kep’ de likker shop. ‘Gib me a ten-pound po’terhouse steak,’ he said. He got it and went out. I sneaked up to de butchah and looked to see what money I had left. ‘What do you wan?’ said de butchah. ‘Gib me ten cents’ wuff of libber,’ wuz my remark. It; was all I could pay fur. Now you go and g it yo’ drink. You’ll eat libber, but de man what sells yo' de stuff will hab his po’cerhouse steak. Dq man behin’ de bar eats po’terhouse steak—de man in front eats libber.

‘ ‘A river of rum, a mountain of gold, a cloud of tears, a boulevard of broken hearts, a red Niagara, down which the best blood of the nation is pouring, a valley ot dry bones, white with a mil­lion rum-made skeletons.” This is the terrifia indictment against this infernal liquor traffic. advt

Tha mistake of the state is in locking up the drinker instead of the drink.

EMMA MISSED HER CALLING.Emma Goldman says marriage is

wrong. Emma, you know, preaches anarchy, when permitted, and has been saying a few things in New Haven. But Emma has missed her calling. She should be in society; not society in general, but the particular four hundred, so to speak, where it is a settled fact that marriage is wrong, according to the number agreeing to disagree.— Middletown Press.

The traffic in strong drink is a fruit­ful source of expense and loss. The distillers and rum-sellers are the only ones who make money out of this traffic.

But who pays the bills? That is the question which ought to interest you. Who pays for the unsupported drunk­ard’s children and heartbroken wife? Who supports the poor old saloon-made pauper? Who repairs the losses caused jy the failure of intemperate and reck- ess and half intoxicated business men?

Who makes good the damage caused by the blunders of drunken worKmen, and the hindrances of business caused by the sprees of intoxicated employees? Who builds and supports the asylums for the insane caused by the saloons? Who pays the salary of our policeman for watching drunken rowdies, consta­bles and sheriffs who run in the drunks and.drunken law-breakers, the proba­tion-officers who watch the poor old drunkards, attorneys, juries and judges who try these drunken law-breakers?

Whose money supports jailers and prison-keepers to take care of men and women convicted of crimes committed when drunk? Who pays the expense of trial and commitment and executions made necessary by the crimes of drunken men and women? Who builds and supports almshouses made neces­sary by this traffic? Wno pays for the inquest held on drunkards found dead by the wayside? Who pays for the pauper’s coffin and for the digging of the drunkard’s grave?

Who pays these and many other bills caused by the rum-traffic? The poor drunkard cannot pay them. His mon­ey went into the rum-seller’s bands Will the rum-seller pay them? Try him and see ! The fact is, you and I must pay these bills. There is but one way to get rid of this great, and worse than, useless expense, and that is to vote the expensive nuisance out of exist­ence. Let us vote it out of Manchester Monday. advt

The Talcottville baseball team won from the Fourth Church baseball team of Hartford Saturday in the last game of the season by the score of 11 to 9 The feature of the game was the heavy hitting, the home team getting IS jingoes.

At Least 66 Dwelling Strnc- tures Have Been Erect­

PUBLISHERS' ANNOUNCEMENT.On and after January 1. 1910, the

subscription price of The Herald will be raised from $1.50 to $2 a year and the price of single copies from two to three cents. The Herald Printing Com­pany is led to make this move by sev­eral considerations. First, in order to properly serve this rapidly growing community we find it necessary to continually enlarge and improve the paper, 'i’his process has been steadily going on for the last dozen years or more yet the price has never been raised. Our readers are getting two €ight-page papers a week for the same subscription price which they formerly paid for a four-page paper issued once a week.

The coat of issuing The Herald is not far from three times as great as it was a few years ago. The causes for this increase are the enlargement of both the editorial and mechanical forces, the employment of more skilled help at increased wages with shorter worK- ing time, and the increased cost of almost every kind of printing ma­terial. Our advertisers have generous­ly borne their share of this increased cost and we feel we can justly ask our subscribers to accept their share also. The increase will not bear heavi­ly on any individual; fifty cents a year or a cent on a copy will not be missed by any one. The aggregate of the small amounts, will, however, make a decided increase in The Herald’s in­come and enable us to keep pace with the demands of this and neighboring communities for a reliable and up-to- the-minute news service.

The new rates will not take effect until the first of the year, and until that time renewals will be accepted at the old rate.

JOHN ANUREO’S REVENGE.

THE TAX RATE.It is understood that the selectmen

will recommend to the annual town meeting an increase of the tax rate for the coming year from ten mills to twelve naills. wMl bp*

regardalways for tbo ^lowest rate' jkm-sible. But the long-headed, broad­minded taxpayer will, before making up his mind as to what amount he is willing to pay, consider whether he is going to get good returns for his money. Nearly everybody is to take advantage of a bargain, and the question of local taxation is nothing • but a plain business proposition of buy­ing and selling.

The most important purchase Man­chester has to make is education for its children. No one can deny that in this respect we are getting a bargain. The majority of our school children are housed in two fine school buildings, •equipped with every conceivable device for the safety, health and mental train­ing of the youth, and these buildings

•cost the town not one cent. A gener- uus and humane corporation not only pays a large proportion of the taxes but also provides this magnificent plant and keeps it in repair without asking the town to pay anything for it. Furthermore our schools are now in the hands of the most efficient su­perintendents they have ever had. The school officials can be depended upon to spend the town’s appropriation wise­ly and economically.

Everybody admits the desirability of good roads and sidewalks. Under onr new town system a long step forward has been taken in the improvement our highways. Anyone can see that we are now getting full value for every dollar we spend in this direction. How about charities ? The new commission­er has saved the town thousands of dol­lars.

Best of ali, the town has paid its bills out of its income the past year and has materially reduced the debt which has been steadily growing for the past twenty years. This is a record of which every taxpayer should be proud.

Next year there will be several extraordinary expanses which the selectmen will explain to the town meeting. If the town approves these undertakings and makes the necessary appropriations, it should provide the money to pay the bills. Taxpayers may be sure their money will be econ­omically expended and that whatever can be saved will be applied to the town debt.

Manchester is now undergoing a period of development unequalled in

. the past Population is increasing, business enterprises are multiplying,

' manufacturers are busy and real estate is rising in value. A twelve mill tax

Manchester has been enjoying an un­precedented building toom this season At least 66 new houses figured in this great expansion and of these 30 have been finished. The rest are in the different stages of construction, except two for which the contracts have just been let. Some have only the cellarp dug and others are nearing comple­tion. The local carpenters have had alj they could handle and some have h?d difficulty in securing enough help. Some of them have been obliged to refuse contracts because they could npt undertake the work

Of the 66 dwellings mentioned above 29 are double tenements, 23 are single houses ; five contain three tenements six are four tenement houses and three are combination store and tenement structures. It is a noticeable fact that the houses are no sooner completed than tenants are found for them. This, of course, encourages people to build in Manchester. As a rule empty tene­ments are scarce in this place. .-j

Three business blocks are also in construction on Main street at, the present time. The Johnson block, a; three story brick building with an or­nate front of yellow brick and stone, located just north of Bissell street, is now being plastered and the carpenters are putting in the metal ceilings and hard wood floors for the stores on the ground floor. The new House & Haie block is being pushed along rapidly, the brick work above the foundations having been started within the past: week. The third business block is that of Farr Brothers and is being erected upon the old American hotel site. Con­tractor Gorman now has the cellar waHs Atiottt completed for this build-

nt houa<Itei b e S ' undertaken

hefe this season. The H^86 & Hale temporary store was built just aftpr the fire in the spring and an addition to this building is now being built. Cheney Brothers are having a large ice house built at Globe Hollow and they

willing have also built a two-stpry brick hay barn west of their grain storage build­ing on Pleasant street and a 60 foot addition to their long wagon shed in the jfpar of the new horse barn; They have'also added about 30 bath rooms to their tenements. A large livery stable has been built on Bissell streSt and an undertaking establishment on West Center street. A carpenter shop has also been built on Bissell street and likewise a furniture storehouse. Many house have been repaired' pnd remodeled, several single houses being changed over to double tenements and in one case a double house was con­verted into a three tenement bouse.

Neighbor, Who Had Him Arrested for Scattering Poisoned Grain, b Him­

self Caught Napping.

John Andreo of Keeney Court, who was ii police court a short /time ago for attempting to poison Philip Farr’s chicicens, was in court again yesterday morning. This time he was tbe com­plainant and Farr the defendant, the former having brought complaint against the latter for allowing his chickens to trespass on his property.

According to the facts brought out at the first hearing, Andreo had been troubled more or less all summer with Farr’s chickens going on his property and damaging his garden. He spoke about it several times but without avail, and finally spread poisoned grain about bis place for the chickens to eat. Two of Farr’s children found some of the grain and took it to their father, and as a result Andreo. was arrested and brought into court.

'i'he court explained to Andreo that he had no right to take the matter into his own hands but that he had redress in the courts. He acted upon this sug­gestion and when the chickens contin­ued to be a nuisance, had the prosecu­ting attorney send a written notice to Farr. According to law, if there is any further trouble within six months after such a -notice has been served, the owner of the fowls may be brought into court and prosecuted. Yesterday Farr’s chickens made another descent upon Andreo’s property and a warrant was issued for Farr’s arrest.

In the policie court yesterday morn­ing Prosecuting Attorney Burke ex­plained that Farr had his chickens locked up yesterday nut while he was in Hartford the children had let them out. He said that under the circumstances be had agreed to nolle

special town meeting. You have a chance to vote on t^e matter again on Monday.

LICENSING VENDORS.At the special town meeting held

last March, when tbe act extending and amending the act under which the town is governed and the revised by­laws were passed upon, an important by-law governing the licensing of ped­dlers and street vendors came up for action. Under this by-law it was pro­posed to charge a license tee of $10 per annum against all peddlers, huck­sters or vendors having no permanent place of business. The by-law exempt­ed f arnlers and gardeners vending tbeir own produce, also fish dealers. Under the belief that it would affect local people, the by-law was voted down, but the matter was eventually left with the committee for a further ex­amination and report at the annual town meeting. The annual town meet­ing will be held Monday and this by­law will again come up for action. The by-law is a good one. It is drafted after the form of a similar measure in force in New Britain. The New Brit­ain Business Men’s Association were instrumental in securing the legisla tion for that city and it has worked out well there. The ordinance or by-law is aimed especially at itinerant vendors and peddlers, men, who come here from out ot town and, without contri­buting anything towards tbe support of the place, enjoy the same privileges as local ^^erchants who pay taxes and are worthy citizens. These itinerant dealers are daily

direct competition with pur mechants and, having neither rent nor taxes to pay, are given an unfair advantage. The by-law will not affect regular dealers or merchants, who haye«permanent places of business, or storehouses, which may without trouble be converted for the purpose into places of business. The only loca people who would be affected [by this measure are those, and there are but a few, who buy from farmers, produce dealers or wholesalers and retail from carts or'peddle from house to house The great majority coming under the law belong out of town and should be compelled to contribute a just amount fer the privileges they enjoy over loca merebanta who must pay the town tax, In New Britain last month the police department collected $150 from itiner ant peddlers and in August the licenses netted $170. Chief Sheridan is author ity for tbe statement that -Manchester has lost several hundreds of dollars this summer owing to-teUD^.. passing tha above mentioned, by-law at the

Than Two-Thirds Finished— Grading on Charter Oak

StreM.

i . . . .iTOBEItl, JW

I ................ li fii r- - - - • - ...

The macadamizing of Oakland street, which is being done by Olmsted & Olmsted of East Hartford under the state highway apnropriation act, is rapidly nearing completion. The Job was started July 26 and was to have been finished in 47 days, but owing to unavoidable delays is considerably be­hind schedule. The Connecticut Cora- any officials were somewhat slow about starting their men at work raising the grade of the trolley tracks, but nowhave the job well in hand and with fair

/

weather will probably finish it by an­other week.

The macadam is now laid from a point about 200 teet north of the bridge at the south end of Oakland street to “ The Oaks'” a distance of 4,500 feet. The width o f the macadam is 16 feet and it is laid to a depth of seven inches with a five inch crown at the center of the road. Three courses of stone are being laid. The first is two inch ma­terial and is laid four inches deep, the second is inch stone and is put on two inches thick and the fine stuff or screenings is spread on the top to the depth of an inch. The original contract called for 4,500 feet of macadam, but the commissioner was asked to extend the work beyond the turn on the Tal- cottville road. This increased the total length of the job to 6,200 feet. The road contains no Telford, but a good sub-grade has been obtained by the use of gravel and the street roller. The first course of stone has been laid a distance of 4,500 feet; the second course about 4,000 feet and 3,800 feet is practically finished. In front of J, T. Robertson’s place and at . “ The Oaks,” Miss Hays’s place, the roadway has been increased in width at the re­quest and expense of the property pwn- ers. At “ The Oaks” the macadam varies from 21 to 28 feet in width.

Road Superintendent Ulrich, who is acting as deputy highway inspector on the state work in town, plans to lay a cobble gutter along the whole job on the west side. The trolley tracks bor­der the job on the east side.

In front of bis place on the west side of the street J. T. Robertson has bad a cut stone curb laid and the property owners to the north have pot in new cinder walks, which shows

Oaks” and Tolland Turnpike the street has been sub-graded three-fifths of the way. Along this stretch there is some filling to be done which will probably increase the cost of The job slightly. Another month should see the whole job completed.

The Bridge Matter.Road Superintendent Ulrich is being

held up on the Oakland street bridge job because of the non-arrival of the official agreement of the Connecticut Company to bear its share of the cost of the new structure. He has bqen ready for some time to start work, but nothing can be done until the trol­ley company comes to an agreement. If the work is delayed much longer it may mean that the bridge building will have to be postponed until next spring. Concrete work done in cold weather is seldom satisfactory as iTrevious wo^k has frequently shown and tor this rea­son Mr. Ulrich is anxious to take ad­vantage of the present favorable weather.

Charter Oak Street.0 . T. Benedict of Pittsfield has the

contract for the Charter Oak street macadam job. The extract originally called for 4,700 feet of macadam, but this has since been increased 200 feet. The work starts at the end of the present macadam and will be carried through to Highland Park. Case Brothers agreed more than a year ago to contribute $1,000 towards the ex­pense of the work. The Benedict com­pany is the concern that was awarded the trunk line job between Hartford and Berlin on the old Hartford-New Haven turnpike and have about com­pleted a splendid piece of work on that highway. The macadam for the Char­ter Oak job will be hauled on the trol­ley line to the south end terminus. From there the stone will be hauled in carts by a traction engine to the job. A traction engine was sent here last week, but owing to a break down of the machine used by the company in Berlin the machine here had to be sent back. The engine will be sent back here in a few days and the work of stone laying commenced. Thus far about 1,500 feet of the Charter Oak street job has been rough graded. The grading is now going along on the hill east of Gardner street. The work is heavy owing to the many large bould­ers located in the road bed. About two feet will be cut from the bill and the material is being used for filling

TroMe Game Cahunatedin FiffalM Oak Street—Good

Work ky OABttr Glennej.

A shooting affray took place on Oak street between Jolmsoti'a and Brink’s saloons shortly before eleven o ’clock Tuesday night, and u 0 result John Crosson is in the Hartford hospital with a bullet wound under bis left arm and Vincenzo and Raphael De Stepani, two brothers, are held under $5,000 bonds each, on the charge of assault with intent to kill.

Officer Glenney was standing at the corner of Main and Oak streets at the time and saw the three men come out of Johnson’s saloon. They had not gone far when one of them whipped out a revolver and fired toward the ground. A second shot quickly followed but he did not see which way it was fired. The officer had already started toward the scene of trouble and, when be heard the cry of “ police,” quickened his steps and, without any fear of what the result might be, mixed t*ight in with the men and captured all three of them. Crosson and Vincenzo De Stepani were clinched and Raphael was in the act of throwing the revol­ver and a club over the fence on the south side ot Wesley Hollister’s coal yard. The revolver was afterwards found by Frank Erwin and turned over to Probation Officer Goslee. A razor was also found on the ground, said to be the property of Raphael.

At is understood that ill feeling had existed between these men since last Saturday night, when they had some trouble over a game of cards. They were all three in Johnson’s saloon Tuesday night and according to Cros­son’a story the De Stepani brothers followed him, when he wenc out just before closing time. When outside Vin­cenzo shot at him with a revolver and missed him. He then grappled with his assailant and tried to take the re­volver from him just as he fired again. Just then Raphael beat him over the head with a club. On the other hand the De Stepani brothers claim that Crosson attacked them and in the mix- up shot nimself.

After the men were arrested Crosson was taken to Dr. Gillam’s office where his wounds were dressed. The bullet had entered the left arm pit and taken an upward course. The doctor probed for the bullet tiut being unable to locate it the injured man was taken to the Hartford hospital in Luettgens’s

ile. Tfao-«4 9!m#n were taken up,;' -

6 WPW ii^neir$red villi with intent

to kifl/ hut were not put to plea. Dr. Gillam explained that Crosson’s wound was not considered serious and that be would probably be able to appear in court in a week's time. Judge Amott therefore continued tbe case until next Wednesday morning, placing each man under a bond of $5,000, tbe amount recommended by Prosecuting Attorney Burke. Judge Bowers appeared for tbe defendants.

Judge Bowers was unable to secure bondsmen for his clients and yesterday morning Officer Glenney took the ac­cused men to tbe Hartford jail, wherh they will, remain until next Wednes­day. _________________

of Manchester have taken advantage of the sale of the Palace Furniture stock that they appreciate real bar­gains. The sale has been satisfactory tO’ all concerned but it is inevitable that some goods remain unsold after a sale of many days duration. The Keith & Post Co. have removed the remainder of the Palace Furniture stock including a quantity of very de­sirable goods to tbeir Main street store where, beginning Monday, morning, it will be placed on sale at half price.

CAN Stanley Ketchel, the “Mlchl- j

gau Hurricane,” defeat Jack ! Johnson, the heavywe i gh t champion, and thereby restore

the title to the white race? This is the question that has been uppermost in the minds of the fight fans since the colored mah defeated Tommy Burns in .\ustralia last December. I f nothing happens to have thp bout called off the followers of pugilism will have this question answered Oct. 12, when the pair meet to battle twenty rounds in San Francisco. On the Pacific coast and in many other sections it is gen­erally believed that Ketchel is the com­ing champion. Then in other quarters some experts fear he is not quite ready to tackle Johnson—th^t it would be better if he waited a year or two. The fact that he failed to knock out Papke In their last battle counts against him.

Then, again, there are those among the coast fight followers who believe the more aggressive methods of Ket­chel will worry the negro more than A1 Kaufman did in the short ten round go recently. By a liberal stretch of the imagination they can see the cham­pion middleweight ripping punishing blows into the midriff of the black heavyweight. They all know that Ketchel is game, and they know, too, that he has a wallop almost as good as the one old Bob Fitzsimmons used to hand out when he was feeling fit and fine.

For these reasons they give Ketchel a chance to beat Johnson. I f he should chance to win his fortune is made. I f he loses then there is the Langford match to be staged for him for a long route at Jimmie Coffroth’s club, and such an engagement would be the big­gest drawing card that could be put before the public today, aside from the still hoped for match between James J. Jeffries and Jack Johnson.

To come down to cases, Ketchel is going to stAnd little show with John­son. In fact, he should be a 10 to 3 shot in the betting with the heavier man. Johnson may or may not be good enough to put it over Jeffries when the time comes, but the fact is palpable that he was good enough to play with A1 Kaufman, and his show­ing was such as to make him a cinch almost with Ketchel.

Johnson did everything in his fight with Kaufman that could have been asked except to put his man out. I f he had fought with the tigerish frenzy that used to mark the efforts of such black demons as Joe Walcott perhaps he would have had his man dead to the world long before the finish of the ten rounds. Johnson’s strength also

have^been underrate. It was__ ,rily the clever fo x in g of

__ egro any more than nls sheerphysical strength that enab le him to keep Kaufman away for the ten rounds.

As an illustration of the cleverness and strength of Johnson a story is told of one of the incidents in his bout with Kaufman.

“Move him around. Jack!” called an enterprising newspaper photographer at the ringside while the two were in a clinch. "1 want to get a picture.”

Tbe ease with which the negro turn­ed the trick as requested is proof enough to manj' of those present that

I he was under wraps to a certain ex-

In the clinches Johnson tossed A1 around as though he had been a Japa­nese doll. That same strength and weight will play an important part in the fight of Oct. 12. Unless Ketchel sets Johnson on the run with the vi­ciousness of his attack it would seem that he has selected a superhuman

Johnson guards himself so well and boxes so cleverly that it would be an extremely dlflicult task to hit him down below.

Some of them argue against Ketchel’s chances this way: Ketchel and Papke are apparently rather evenly matched; Papke was twice bested by Jim Flynn in ten round bouts in Los Angeles. When Johnson got Flynn into the ring he toyed with the dashing fireman for ten rounds and laid him out cold in the eleventh, and while he was ham­mering and peppering Flynn the latter npvpr laid, n glove on him. This was nearly two years ago too.

Jack Johnson, the first colored man in the history of the prize ring to hold the championship of the world, was bom at Galveston, Tex., March 31, 1878. He weighs 200 pounds and is six feet one and three-quarters inches In height. The big negro, who is thirty- one years old, is rated as one of the fastest big men in the ring today by followers of the fight game. Boxers who have faced Johnson are almost universal in their opinion that he is an exceptionally fast and clever glove art­ist. That the negro has a punch is

[undisputed, but many sporting men are of the opinion that he will quit in a grueling battle. He possesses a pow­erful physique and utilizes the twenty- four foot ring to gi’eat advantage in exhibiting his renowned footwork. Johnson’s record shows many knock­outs to his credit, but with a few ex­ceptions all the men to whom he has delivered the sleeping potion are sec­ond raters.

i Ketchel was bora at Grand Rapids, Mich.. In 1886 and is five feet nine inches tall. He began his ring career in 1906, and since then he has estab­lished a remarkable record. He has knocked out forty-three opponents, has received a decision iii one bout has boxed four draws and has lost once— when he was knocked out by Papke last year. Ketchel recently weighed

j 175 pounds.

In talking of the bout recently Ketchel said; ‘TH beat Johnson sure.I know he can’t hurt me, and, further­more, he can’t keep away from me. All I want is to get home a few smash­es in the body and I’ll bring Johnson down so that I can knock his head off. I f Johnson couldn’t stop Tommy Bums In fourteen rounds you can bet that he can’t put me away. I don’t care how much the negro weighs, lU get to him 'and stop him too.

“I do not expect to penetrate John son’s wonderful defense in the first few rounds,” said Ketchel, “but I pro­pose to weaken him with attacks on the body until he is ready to lower his guard. His fight with Kaufman shows that his body la his most vul­nerable point, and that will be my object of attack. Johnson is a fancy but slow hitter, and I will have no trouble in avoiding bis leads.

Is the present style of football bet­ter than the old game? This question Is now causing more gossip among gridiron men than nearly any other subject. There are many who have their likes and dislikes for both games, and the only way to come to a con­clusion in the matter Is to consider the quality of both styles of play. While the old game brought the popu­lar college pastime to the front, there Is little doubt that the present game, with its vast possibilities, has the old style game beaten.

There was little incentive for a small team to keep bucking up against a stronger eleven, knowing beforehand that It would be beaten, and the only thing In their minds was to hold the score down as low as possible. This same thing happened year after year, and the weaker team was only a tool for the stronger eleven to condition It self for the bigger games which were to come later in the season. In the days of the old game men were select­ed for the squad and sent to the train­ing table if they were of enormous weight and had strength accordingly.The present game places these require­ments on the shelf and gives every­body, no matter whether they are strong, heavy or light, a chance to make “good.”

In the old days the team that could boast of an average of 190 pounds or over was considered a champion, while the team that wins a championship nowadays averages In the neighbor­hood of 170 pounds, and the back field of such an eleven Is extremely light, whll6 the center trio is composed of the heaviest men.

The new game presents many pos­sibilities, and a coach who does not take advantage of these. possibilities has no business In the game. A coach nowadays must be resourceful. He must have inventive genius and use his material to the best advantage. He must look for players who are adept In throwing and catching the ball, and he must look for men who can with­stand onslaughts on the middle o f the line. He must place his men on the defense, whem uerr aunuy~w(in-pg-pQt to the best advantage, at the same time saving them for their offensive qualities.

There were many fundamental plays under the old regime which any foot­ball inclined person knew, and it was no trick to make him proficient in this style of play. The old formations such as halfback straight in and the full­back likewise, the tackle around and the end around, are plays that the col­lege novice knew long before he struck college and which were drilled into his head in a mechanical form of coaching.

The plays under the new rales re­quire a man to go on the field on his own responsibility and meet an attack on his own resources. In the old game a team was taught how to meet an at­tack and had a defense for every play sprung by the opponents. They were taught plays In a mechanical manner, and if they did not gain they were “up against it.” The players had no re­course to other plays, and they bad to stay on the field and fight the best they could along the lines which were taught them by the coach. I f the style of defense as laid down by the coach did not successfully cope with the op­ponent’s offense, the defensive team, was beaten and tbe size of tbe score only a question of time.

A coach hnder the present rales must be familiar with the possibilities af­forded by the new rules. He must realize that his plays must be strate­gically planned and not planned In a haphazard manner, trusting to luck for their ultimate outcome.

Another good feature of the present style of play and one that Is of great Importance Is the fact that the specta tors have the opportunity of seeing the ball through a contest, consequently making tbe game more interesting to them. The old Rugby game, with Its mass plays and quick charges Into the line, afforded little chance to the spec­tators of seeing the ball until tbe offl dais had untangled the pile of hu­manity, and the constant repetitions of such plays became monotonous.

A kicker of both punt and drop was an absolute necessity In the old style game, but he is of vastly more impor­tance under the new rules. Many games were won last year because cer­tain teams had men who could boot the pigskin down the field forty or fif­ty yards and had ends to cover the kicks in good shape. The final goal proposition also has led many coaches to look for a man early in the season who shows some promise of becoming proficient In this line. A good field goal kicker is a most valuable asset to any team, and the art of kicking goals from The field can only be learned after days o f hard practice. This practice should be done behind a scrimmage line, with an opposing eleven breaking through endeavoring to block the attempt. This enables the Wcker to gain confidence in himself.

With the bai^hall season a close many of bur -beginning to spring thb gag on the fans, and ftom^no’WAMk til the season of 1910 opens conslde!^'^" able space will be given to the careers' £ and to episodes Involving the men -who . have helped to make history In out national pastime. The first to ■ he sprung on us was that Fred Tenney, the great first sacker of the New York Nationals, had decided to quit the dia­mond and would In the future act in the position of scout for some club. Later Tenney denied this and said he had assured the New York manage­ment that he would be on hand next spring if nothing unforeseen happened, ready to don his baseball togs and start training with the rest for the season of 1910. Should Tenney change his mind and not get Into the game again baseball will lose one of Its greatest stars. Tenney, like Mathew- son, Wagner and “Three Fingered” Brown, represents the highest type of the present day ball player. During his long career on the diamond he has proved himself to be one of the great­est players that ever wore a uniform. Besides being one of the greatest first basemen in the country, Tenney Is

one of the brainiest ball tossers that ever appeared on the diamond. While the veteran was a star ball player, was anything but a success as a man- ager of a major league club.

be we4 WMWiWBd iiy many New critics for deitf. They figured the Giants had been given the woi of it. But results proved that Net4 York got the best of the trade.

Tenney not only played a grand, good- game this and last season, but hlB coaching made the youngsters Brld- well and Dojrle cue of the Spiciest pair that ever cavortetl arcund the key** stone corner of an lufield. And it Is his great ability to stret.h and reach that resulted In Arthur Devlin playing an Improved game.

With the swat stick, too. Tenney has a record to be proud of. Since his ca­reer started In the big l;^ague he has finished the season more times over .300 than he has below. But, best o f all, Fred is a pinch hitter of the first water. Game after game be has won for the Polo ground brigade with a timely clout. In the tightest pinch he Is as cool as a piece of Ice.

Tenney really started his baseball career as a backstop, and he was a crackerjack behind the bat too. His shift to the Initial sack Is one example of many where a player has been shift- ed to a permanent position with ad­vantage to himself and to his team. The old belief that a man Is greatest In the position he first selects and that he cannot do as weU In another was disproved by Tenney, and of coarse there are plenty of other cases.

Tbe veteran has followed the Comls- key school of Infleldlng bis posltloh, going In fast for bunt hits, and, being a clever left handed thrower, he often gets back to first base In time to catch the runner at second on what when he first started playing the game was con­sidered simply an out. at first. His plays made In this way were a great Innovation In baseball away back In the nineties and resulted In the play later being made a double play and counted as such In the official scorer’s book.

To make up for the loss through anti-saloon legislation, every merchant and profession must pay a license, according to the amount of sales made and business done. Each day the gross amount of sales of each business must be reported to the license collectors, under penalty of fine and imprisonmenMor failure to do so.

Some lines of business will have to pay a license that were never assessed before. The farmers will have to pay more for hardware and seeds. Stock reisers and grain dealers will also be assessed. It will even cost you more to die. Cemeteries also come in for a share of the taxes. In fact, no person or business escapes. The farmers have advanced their prices on all farm pro­ducts, and in almost every line of business prices are also being advanced. The new license schedule has been placed on the books, disclosing some very interesting figures.

American heavyweight, who has been training here for his proposed fight with Jack Johnson, w-ill leave here for London on Tuesday next and will take the steamer for New Y'ork on Oct. 18.

Jeffries expresses himself as dis­appointed at the meager offer of $55,- 000 for a fight, saying: “ I am the champion of the worldT I htiye every­thing to lose and nothing to gain. Therefore I don’t want to fight for a purse of less than $150000. That Is the sum first proposed, but since 1 have begun training my adversaries appear less keen. I believe, however, that I will make e match as soon as 1 reach New York. 1 should prefer to fight In America rather than In Aus­tralia and have reason to believe that the governors of several states would be willing to allow a fight to take place.” S

New York, Oct. 1.—Admiral I e Pord, commanding the French naval squad­ron, anchored in the Hudson, has en­tered protest against what he terms outrageous police brutality, of which one of the pfficers of the fleet was the victim. HeiBays:

“A young ensign of our battleship Verlte who had been In the parade was returning to his ship with two sailors, his guards. It is customary for two men always to accompany each commissioned officer In foreign lands.

“The three were In uniform and were ascending tha steps of the ele­vated railway .when they encountered a city policeman. Crowds of men and women were ascending and descend­ing the steps, and progress was slow.

“ ‘Step IWely there! (5et a move on you!’ shouted this policeman.

“Our ensign understands English, and he hastened his steps in obedience to the policeman. But while he was actually obeying the command the po­liceman struck him violently and knocked him down the flight of steps. Several women were knocked down by the ensign In his fa ll. The policeman helped neither the ensign nor the wo­men.

“ In France the ensign would have fought back ag#nst such cowardly, brutal treatment, but he is an officer and a gentleman, and he restrained himself, difficult as It was.

“I do not want to make an Interna­tional affair of the matter. I am a euest of New York city. But we Frenchmen ask your American sailors If that Is the way they were treated while they were pur guests.”

“The public never sees behind the screen of the pastor’s home,” said Mr. Carrlck, “or It might realize the trials, the griefs and pains the pastor and his wife are forced to bear.

“A preacher’s wife cannot even make a pretense of dressing or dining well, or the people will think they are pay­ing their pastor too ranch or that he ought to save part of his salary and give It to the missions.

“He cannot put on a pair of patent leather shoes without every single per­son who has contributed the smallest mite toward his salary looking at them as i f ‘ to say. ‘I helped to pay for tbose shoes; there’s where our money goes.’

“ I don’t believe a preacher, can live a re«lly honest life. If he preaches the troth he will be condemning the lives of most of his congregation and of­fending them. Instead of preaching their convictions, the preachers of the gospel avoid anything that might tread upon personal grounds for fear of giv­ing offense. The preacher passes over this and that and lives a lie every day of his life In order not to offend Influ­ential members of his congregation.”

The campuj^gn being waged by the Frohibitionists this year in Manches­ter is called by them “ a business pro­position.” They ask you to wipe out an annual revenue to Manchester of about $6,000 for license fees. They ask you to leave vacant 10 stufes and to deal a deathblow to three fine hotels. The owners and taxpayers of these proper­ties will be the sufferers, as the prop­erty owner always pays the lo^s, and taxes would surely have to be increas­ed.

Toey ask you to place the distribu­tion of beers, wines and liquors from the well regulated saloon, properly conducted undet, the law, into the kitchen saloon, or the illicit non-rev­enue paying dens, which are the ex­perience of nu license towns.

The saloon keepers and hotel pro­prietors of Manchester have endeavor­ed during the past year to conduct Rn orderly and law abiding business. In thus conducting their buisnesa and in the distribution of their liquors, the money spent for same stayed in Man­chester, and was not spent in Hartford or other surrounding towns and the merchants had the benefit of its distri­bution. When the citizens are obliged to buy their liquors in the surround­ing towns, it is a proven fact that they buy other merchandise there entail­ing a large financial loss to the town.

In Hartford the question came up last Monday belore the municipal authorities or aldermen and council- men to determine the hour of closing the saloons. The Prohibitionists, and other paid advocates made a strong effort to close the same at 10 o’clock. The municipal authorities however realizing that it would be an absolute detriment to the progressive City ot Hartford, and an encroachment upon the personal liberties of its citizens, voted 44 in favor of keeping the saloons open till 12 o’clock and only 11 voted in favor of closing at 11 o’clock or 4 to 1 for 12 o’clock closing.

In our judgment the closing hours of the licensed placeain Manchester would be satisfactory to our citizens at 11 o’clock, while the 10 o’clock closing would deprive a great many who visit lodges or desire to spend an hour leisure­ly after supper of their personal comfort.

The moneys derived from the license fees in our town aid towards the pro­sier maintenance of the schools, an adequate and efficient police force,

Samuel Rady was arrested for intox­ication by Officer Gordon Wednesday evening. Rady was sitting on the steps of Harrington’s livery stable and Mr. Harrington asked the officer to remove him. As Rady was toq drunk to go any where, the officer took him to the lock­up. It has been two years since Rady was in court before, so Judge Arnott let him off easy. He found him guilty of intoxication as he had pleaded, and fined him one dollar and costs. He then remitted the fine and court fees and gave Rady until one week from tomor­row to pay the remainder of the costs which were $2.47.
