YmiNfi MFN'S vvi.iv! iliuil W SLATE COMES INTO SENATE Arnold Introduces Long Ex pected Res61ution Nam- ing Hull for Judge. Rumors of Compromise Al ready Heard in Which Old Men's Slate Prevails and Bartlett Is Named Prosecutor Other Legis lative Business. (By Our Special Staff Corres.) Hartford. Feb. 10. The Young Men's slate in the city court fight in Bridge port was presented in Hartford to-da- y. being introduced in the Senate by Sen ator Arnold of Bridgeport. This is the slate which carries the name of Elbert O. Hull for judge and Robert H. Gould for deputy judge of the Bridgeport city court. The resolution making the appointments took the usual course of remaining upon the calendar for three days when it will be referred to the committee on Judiciary, probably some day next week. The slate of the "Old" men was to day sent to the Judiciary committee. It names Carl Foster for judge and Attorney Wilder for deputy Judge. The real battle for the appointments and the downing of one faction or the other will take place before the Judi clary committee after the slate pre sented to-d- ay is referred to it and the dates assigned for the hearings and both sides appear to state their claims for consideration. Each side professes ;to be confident of the outcome of the contest. Notwithstanding ; this confidence. however, there are rumors to-d- ay of a compromise between . the two slates. All talks of compromise carry with them the announcement that Repre- sentative Bartlett. who wishes to be prosecuting attorney of the court, will be provided for. ,. ' The amendments to the charter of the city oj Bridgeport, both those ap proved by the charter revision com mittee and those which were not, and also those which failed of endorsement by the Common Council of that city were, introduced in the House to-d- ay by Rep. Clark of Bridgeport, at the re attest of Mayor Lee. These amend ments have been published and consid erabl discussion' has been given them before the Bridgeport committee. The Mayor's amendments, providing for a permanent paving commission, a board of public works, are included In the lot, also an amendment increasing the salary of the building inspector from $1,200 to $1,800. . , The amendments giving the Fire Commission power to appoint two as sistant chiefs of the department and control over, the fire alarm system and the placing of hydrants. Several of these amendments were rejected by the revision committee and others by the Common Council. The one increasing the salary of the i building inspector was turned down unanimously in the Common Council. At the request of the State Tax com mission. Senator Arnold introduced a bill which affects the collection of poll and military taxes in every city, town, and borough in the state and makes the collecting officers directly respon- sible for their collection. It provides that every tax collector and his assist- ants shall be held responsible for the collection of these taxes, and their failure to collect from all persons available may be held responsible un- der their bonds for all taxes not col- lected by them drring their term of office. The bill is of a sweeping char- acter and will probably provoke con-s?dera- ble discussion when it comes up for hearing. Senator Holzer, at the request of At- torney John C. Chamberlain of Bridge- port, introduced a bill which provides that the assessors of all cities and towns may list real estate of dece- dent persons which appears in an in- ventory of their property, but which had not been listed with the asses- sors, and authorizes the listing of the taxes for a period of six years prior to the decease ot the owner of said prop- erty. Itis often the case that an in- ventory in the probate court gives the first information regarding such prop- erty. Representative N. Burton Rogers of Danbury presented a bill of sweeping character, aimed at the prosecuting of- ficers of the courts, of all towns, cities and boroughs, common pleas courts and states' attorneys, making it un- lawful for them to appear as counsel for the defendant In a prosecution un- der the liquor laws in any court or be- fore the county commissioners. This bill is said to have a direct reference to the State's Attorney for Fairfield county who recently appeared for a liquor dealer in a proceeding in Dan-bur- y. . , Senator Manwaring Introduced, by request, a bill extending the time for organization of the 'Federal Trust Co. of Bridgeport till July 1, 1911. An echo of the recent hitter fight for ' the Governorship of the State of Connecticut, between Gov. Lilley ana former Lieut. Gov. Lake, appeared in the Senate- - today when the name of George S. Palmer of New London, who headed the opposition to Gov. Lilley, was presented by Senator Latimer of that city for aDDointment as director of the Connecticut Agricultural college for a term of four years. Corrupt practice was . brought into the limelight in the Senate to-d- ay when Senator Blakeslee introduced a bill rectifying the deficiencies of this act. The most active interests in the Senate to-d- ay were the shell fish con- stituents. Several bills were intro- duced along this line. One provides that no oyster dredge shall use a net with less than a mesh or rings less than 3-- 4 of one inch in diameter. Another provides that all contracts for buoying oyster beds shall let to the lowest bidder. Another provides that the shell fish commission shall attend to the buoying of the natural beds of Stratford. Fish Island. Roton Point, Litchfield and Bridgeport. Another act provides that all buoys of natural oyster beds shall bear the name of the owner, mere was aiso an auieiiuuicui to the bill making the commission liable for granting the privilege know ingly for the use of natural oyster bPrt. This amendment makes the se lectmen liable who are found guilty. One provides for the protection of the natural bed at Milford and one egives the state of Connecticut exclusive jur- isdiction for natural oyster ; beds in this stfl.t6 ' Arronff the other important bills in- troduced were: One prohibiting the issuance of inter-stat- e free passes by any transportation company excepting u certain specified individuals; one providing for the licensing of the prac- tice of palmistry and fortune-tellin- g. There were several resolutions intro- duced. Among the most important was one raising the state commission on uniform city charters. The members of the House were again busy to-da- y and presented an- other flood of measures. George A. Barnes of Sherman was appointed to the state board of agriculture as the member from Fairfield County. Among the important acts were the following: an act providing for the ap- pointment of a commission on the in- sane: one making a three .year close 1 season for auail from last December;, by Professor Sllnghele "what am ds diffunee atween a red headed brake- - man dat gits offen a freight train an' lets it run in on de sidin' at a small town at midnight an' a man dat has a whole lot o' work to do an' keeps git-ti- n' somebody else ter do it because he loafs all de time?". "How dat?" asked Mistah teTambo, nervously strumming his tambourine. : Mistah Bones repeated his conun- drum, and Mr. Tambo immediately said: "What am de diffunce, anyway T ! "One am de switch an de uddah am de work," ex- plained Mistah Bones. Before the applause had subsided Mr. Squeekin de Throte, the celebrated contra tenor, stepped to the footlights and began tne rendition oi tne pa- thetic ballad, "It Would Have Been All the Same Today if You Hadn't Done What You Did. St Paul Pione- er-Press. He Was Under Oath. The late Professor Rowland of Johm Hopkins university was the most emi- nent physicist since the days of Joseph Henry. Among his notable achieve ments in the realm of pure science was the calculation of the mechanical equivalent of heat and the use of grat- ings in spectrum analysis, ' for which purpose he devised a machine that could cut 40,000 lines to the inch on a plate of polished metal. . In the prac tical application of his knowledge he was noted as the Inventor of the multi plex telegraph apparatus. Some years ago, testifying in a case involving the Cataract Power com pany, in answer to a question on cross examination as to who, in his opinion, was the greatest American scientist, he replied, "I am." After leaving the courtroom one of the. lawyers ventured to criticise this answer for its v effect upon the Jury, whereupon Rowland exclaimed: "Well, what else could I say? Wasn't I under oath V New York Globe. The' Starboard Light. . "Twice a day for a week I have been harassed by doubt as to how lar a man should go in correcting the glar ing mistakes of strangers," said the man who enjoys looking in shop win dows. "There is an art store down town where the present windew col lection includes the picture of a ship. It is elaborately framed and. has a lighthouse carved on the wooden strip at one side, but the artist should never have tried marine work, for he has got the red side light of that Teasel on the starboard side. Two or three times I've been on the point of going into the store and asking the proprietor either to remove that picture or put a patch of green paint over that red, and each time my nerve has failed me. "I am half hoping that the false aid. light will cause a collision in that win dow which will smash the picture, and then my anxiety will be relieved." New York Post. Protective Coloring of Insects. A well known little mot h with pale green mottled wings la the only case in which I have myself watched the protection afforded by color at work. It was on a summer's evening when 1 saw this iittle moth zigzagging up and down with the most extraordinarily ir- regular flight' and a bird pursuing it. Twice the bird - swooped and just missed his prey owing to a sudden turn and drop on the part of the moth. And then to my great delight the motb flopped against the stem of a tree on which was growing, a greenish gray lichen. The bird swooped again close to the tree, but failed to see the insect and quitted the chase. It took men appreciable time to detect the little moth resting against the lichen and closely matching It in color. Sir E. Ray Lankester in London Telegraph. Hard to Believe.

Yesterday afternoon his attention was called to the living rooms of the fam- ily in the rear of the shop, by the crying of the two children. He saw his wife apparently asleep on the lounge. He, carried the chil- dren out of the room in which the fumes of the gas were trifling. John Scanlon and Jacob Weimer hurried to the assistance of Mr. Goldberg. They found the cock of the gas tube used to connect with a stove open and the gas flowing Into the room. Mrs. Goldberg had evidently Inhaled the gas as it came from the pipe and fell on the lounge overcome by the poisonous fumes. The gas filled the upper part of the room, but had not reached the red hot stove or the chil- dren on the floor when it was discov- ered.

"I was quite sure you had been in our neighborhood," a friend said to Sir Archibald. "I met the old farmer of G., who had a strange tale to tell me. 'Dod, Mr. Caithcart,' he be- gan, 'I ran across the queerest body the ither day.

Woman. ; Woman, the gentlest of all creatures, is apt to become masterful and even tyrannical, this because she is a crea- ture in whose composition emotion dominates, .and emotion when highly stimulated becomes passion, and pas- sion spurns all reasonable limitation and becomes tyrannical. . Besides, there are women with more than ordinary firm will and persistent purpose. These when winged by the passion which is natural to the sex become intolerant, masterful and more tyrannical than men. Qualification to the intense ac- tion of the impassioned soul is treach- ery, and contradiction is treason. Like a stormy wind, they will have their sweep and ignore all contraries. And from this predominance of the emo- tional element it seems plain that, though woman may try many things and succeed in most, she is, with her normal outfit, materially incapacitated from being a statesman or a judge. Daybook of John Stuart Blackie. The State' and the Individual. The state may make It easy for a man to acquire a small holding, but it cannot give the man the energy, the Industry, which are necessary if the boon is to be an abiding blessing to him. The' state may help men over bad times, but it cannot give men the moral character which enables those who possess It by their energy, de- termination, industry, to place them- selves beyond the reach of temporary disaster.
