It is asserted that here among our 56,000 inhabitants, not +5less than about twenty-five different languages are spoken. The commu- nity also bears the stamp hereof. Out on the streets are seen many different " types of people and many different languages are spoken. ‘“Yankees,” Swedes, Germans and Irishmen now belong to ‘the old stock in our city. The other nationalities have settled here in more recent years, of which A/ Poles and Italilans have become es- pecially numerous. - The former have built for themselves a - considerable section of the city, mot to say com- munity, under the leadership of the energetic and talented Catholic priest, Ii Bojnowski. The Poles aré a pro- gressive people and their influence in the community has already attained considerable strength. = They under- stand how to act in unison. New Britain has undergone a radi- cal change during the last twenty vears. During this time the city has more than doubled its population and, ..in a high degree, developed its indus- . tries and commerce. The . so-called 4 foreigners have ‘contributed’ greatly,’ ™ not only by manual labor, but‘also in many instances by mechanical skill and commercial ability. Among the city’s professional men, must be reck- oned among the leaders just those which are of so-called foreign birth~— (his change in the composition of the community, has naturally brought about many other changes in the di- recting (or leadership) of the com- munity. It is not many years since “*New Britain was controlled socially, financially and politically, by a few men who ruled all and everything. Fortunately, it has now become quite different. Power and influence have now become distributed a little and will continue to be < s0o more and more. The “Yankees” have had the bad habit of desiring to consider themselves as the only ‘“‘Americans” angd regard all others as “foreigners.” They have, therefore, especially in a political sense, made themselves sort of guardians for others and sought to dictate their methods of thinking. In order to get the “foreilgners” on their side, they had selected among these, ,rcertain trusted persons who have run »+their errands in order to obtain votes for thelr candidates. If, however, any ‘foreigner” has dared show his Independence and demandegl recogni- tion for his countrymen, then—O, woe! —very bitter expressions have soon been heard against ‘unreasonable de- mands,” then no “foreigners” were al- lowed to exist, but we should all be “Americans” and nothing else. ' As concerns the Swedes, we have marked with regret, how even among ‘these, attempts have been made to carry out this deceit. And there ars always found some dependent country- men with weak brains who think that It is remarkably great to be an er- rand boy for the “great,” even if they should thereby oppose their own countrymen and destroy their inter- ests. 3 Preparations have now been going on ¢ for some time for the spring election, particularly in the republican camp. There the mayoralty {s especially hungered for. This hunger must, at times, have been very severe judging from the many “‘Dutch Suppers,” which have been arranged during the winter. At these suppers, it is prob- able that there has been more talking #\than eating. Yes, a certaln “candi- date,” has so assiduously used his tongue in his own interests and for his own glorification, that it would not surprise us if he, at this stage, had talked his candidacy to death. No doubt, there are some people who avplaud such things, but among the Swedish people we may, fortunately, consider those a disappearing mi- nority. Neyertheless, may our countrymen succeed In attaining for themselves those positions in the city’'s govern- ment and various other offices which they desire. In such efforts, our countrymen should knowingly work together without regard for their differences in other respects. In local politics, one should depart s Y ot (Continued on Tenth Page.) FEED MIXING PLACED AMONG FINE ARTS Report of Connecticut Agricultural Station Claims Character of Cat- tle Feeds Has Improved. New Haven, Conn., April 9.—“Tha making of a ready-mixed feed still continues to be something of a fine art,” says a report on feeding stuffs issued today by the Connecticut Agri- cultura] Station here. It refers to & feed of which it says: “It consists of peat nearly saturat- ed with molasses, and would seemn to be chiefly valuable as a sort of bovine chewing gum, but it sells for $40 a ton, “The general character of the cat- tle feeds sold in this state, however,” the report says, “has improved of late years as a result of the yearly inspection and report. There is but little trade at present in the very in- ferior feeds, which were formerly freely sold, feeds made up of oat hulls, refuse from the manufacturers of breakfast food and ground and un- ground weed seeds screened from wheat.” The reference then follows to feed mixing as a fine art. BENCH WARRANT ASHED FOR JOHN L. SOMERS | State Attorney Alling Prefers Perjury Charges Against Bridgeport Man., New Haven, April 9.—An applica- tion for a bench warrant for John L. Somers, a business man of Bridge- port, on two charges of subornation of perjury, was made by State Attor- ney Alling to Judge Curtis in the su- perior court today. Jacob Klein, for Somers, offered objection to such a procedure, and after argument the court reserved decision. Somers has been previously bound over to the su- perior court in $1,000 on the charge of manslaughter, on the finding of Coroner Mix that he, was criminally responsible for the death of Mrs, Helen M. Judd in an automobile col- lision at Allingtown, on the evening of December 20. Somers’ case would be called during the present session of the court, _Certain conditions hav- ing been devéloped in relation to the case State ‘Attorney Alling through' the use of a 'bench warrant now, seeks to have Somers brought into court on the perjury charges. Mr. Klein in objecting to the motion of Mr. Alling claimed that both the statutes and decisions in other states set out clearly that the state attor- ney must elect the charge upon which he would try a defendant. He did not claim the bench warrant could not issue. That was not the issue in this case. He did claim that the matter of issuing such a warrant was dis- cretionary with the court. Mr. Klein claimed that two warrants could is- sue each with an information, and the accused could be tried on each of the charges. This would ensure a fair trial whereas if two charges were tried at one and the same time the interests of the accused would not be safeguarded. Mr. Alling in reply to the objection offered sald that the iInformation is attached to the bench warrant which he sought to have issued, and it set forth offences of a like nature, grow- ing out of the same transaction and at the same time. He argued that the statutes say that issues may he joined. He“also pointed out that the Massachusetts supreme court has held that subornation of perjury may be joinea with another offense. DEMURRER OVERRULED. Justice James T. Meskill has over- ruled the demurrer of the defendant in the action of E. T. Reed & Co. against Anderson Bros., local clothiers The action was based on an alleged order for goods. The plaintiff claimed it received the order and that the defendant refused to accept it or make payment. Reed & Co. brought suit to recover and engaged Bill & Tuttle, a Hartford law firm. Mortimer H. Camp of this city was engaged by Anderson Bros. and he filed a demur- rer. CROSS PROBABLY WILL COME, Manager Wyrley Birch of the Russ- win Lyceum stock company stated to- day that he had not heard from Al- fred Cross, whom he is seeking to engage as leading man for the com- rany, but, he said, he was confident Cross would come to New Britain and may ‘be here for Monday, April 20.

CLYNN DENEES RABBIS Families and Counsel of Condemned Men Have Not Abandoned All Hope to Save Their lAvw—MemnIu dum Sent to Governor. New York, April 9.--There were persistent rumors today to the effest that at least one of the 'four gun- men who are to die at Sing Sing Mou- day morning for the part played in the murder of Herman Rosenthal, the gambler, would confess. The rumors could not be traced to their source. Joseph A. Shay, counsel for Charles Becker, the former police lieutenant convigted for instigating the murder, but saved by higher court ruling, said he might go to the prison some time today and endeavor to get statements from the four men to be used by the defense at the second trial of Becker. In case the condemned men decline to make statements to him, he has prepared an application to the su- preme court for an order requiring the appointment of a commission to take their depositions. In either event, it was said, the execution of the sentence would not be delayed. Hope Not Abandoned. Although Governor Glynn has twice refused to grant a reprieve, the fam- ilies of the gunmen and their coun- sel, Charles G. F. Wahle, had not given up all hope today. Every means known to the law will be employed from now until Monday, Wahle de- clared. Today he will send a mem- orandum to Governor Glynn on the latter’s refusal to grant a reprieve. The memorandum will take the form of an argument in answer to the gov- ernor's reasons for his refusal. The rumors regarding the expected confession had it that the one gunman most likely to talk was “Gyp the Blood” Horowitz. Appeal Is Denfed. An impassioned and dramatic ap- al made by five Jewish clergymen ow York tor a stay of the,exelu tion was denied by Governor Glynn late yesterday. The plea was made in the executive chamber and was based on the pos- sibility. of new evidence developing In the second trial of former Police Lieutenant Becker. It so complete- 1y unnerved the governor that he had to retire to his private office for a time before he could continue his duties. “That was the most difficult ex- perience of my life,” he said later. It originally was planned that the mother, brother and sister of “Whitey Lewis” Seidenshner and the sister and the mother of ‘“Dago Frank” Cirofici should accompany the clergymen and plead for execu- tive interference. This plan was not carried out, however, as the clergy- men declined to permit the govern- or to be submitted to the ordeal of conversing with relatives of the condemned men. Glynn Is Nervous, The clergymen, all officers or members of the Union of Orthodox Jewish Cengregations of America, were accompanied by H. Lionel Kringle. one of the attorneys for the gunmen. He did not appeal to the governor but each of the clergymen was permitted to talk, The governor, meanwhile, stood nervously twitching his watch chain. His face was drawn and white. At times he interrupted the speakers to say that the evidence before him did not warrant a change of his decision not to grant the pris- oners’ plea for executive clemency. “If it were my heart alone that was considering this case,” he said, “you know what I would do. I have spent many sleepless nights because I realized that 1 alone stood be- tween these boys and death. But I have made up my mind. It was a choice between sentiment and justice and I had to side with justice. I would have given every cent I pos- sess not to have had to pass upon this case finally. But it was my duty, and I have performed that duty as T saw it.” “Dago Frank” Not There, Rabbi Jacob Goldstein, chaplain of the Tombs and of Sing Sing, who has known the men intimately since their incarceration, asserted that “the three Jewish boys have told me in all solemnity that Frank Ciro- fiel was not there at the time of the shooting. . “The records show," Mr. Gola- stein continued, ‘“that forty-five minutes after the shooting Cirofict was In a neighboring ‘police court bailing out his sweetheart. Would any criminal with blood on his hands have the audacity to invade a statlon house s0 soon after commit- ting a erime?" The governor's only reply was that he must erst on the evidence of the four witnesses who had identified the gunmen. Then the clergymen urged that new evidence might develop in the second Becker trial which would (Continued on Tenth Page.)

Mr. Mellen’s departure was inter- esting as previous efforts to get him to give information about the affairs of the New Haven company had been unavailing, his contention being that as he is under the charge of man- slaughter his counsel had advised him to refrain from appearing at any proceedings incident to inquiry into the affairs of his former company, EASTER DISPLAY IS CAUSE OF TRAGEDY of the party.

The late Dowager Empress Haruko of Japan was the widow of Emperor Mutsuhito, who died on July 30, 1912, Her imperial majesty was born on May 28, 1850. She was a daughter of a nobleman, Ichijo Tadado. In 1869 she was married to the, late emperor and was declared empress. Saw Japan’s Transformation. Haruko, by the side of her hus- band, passed through the troubled period of the transformation of Japan at the beginning of Mutsuhito’s reign. She saw him transfer his cap- ftal from Kioto to Yedo, which was later renamed Tokio. She watched with curious interest the opening of the country to foreign commerce,-its departure from old world customs and adoptidbn of western civilization. She awalted in the imperial palace news of the Japanese armies at war first with China and then with Rus- sia, and saw in fact, the complete evolution of Japan into a world power. Haruko was simple in her tastes. She presided over court func- tions with dignity, on most occasions wearing western dress, especidlly when she came Into contact with Americans or Europeans. Occasion- ally, however, when the function was purely Japanese, she returned to the picturesque costume she had worn | in her youth, | The dowager empress was greatly affected by the death of Mutsuhito, after which she fell i1l and suffered for many months from an affection of the heart. away sudden- Yo- | INVITES ALL MASONS, | Rev.

'BATTLE STILL RAGES AROUND TAMPICO Rear Admiral Mayo Ordered to Give Refuge to Ameri- cans and Foreigners. Washington, April 9.—Over night dispatches to the navy department from Rear Admiral Fletcher report- ed fighting still in progress at Tam- pico without advantage to either sde. On account of a heavy norther, Rear b Admiral Mayo was discouraging refu- gees from going aboard ships there. Admiral Fletcher sent this report, recelved from Admiral Mayo yester- day afternoon: “Mayo reports fighting continues with no change except that the gun- | boat Zaragoza is assisting the Vera Cruz in shelling Arbol Grande. On account of a norther and no advan- tage in fighting, I am discouraging refugees from coming on board. Have recelved few on Des Moines alonigside dock. If rebels recelve ar- tillary, which seems to be improbabie; conditions will be more serious, Re- ports circulated on shore that Amer- ican battleships are supplying arms to the rebels.” The admiral added that he had directed Admiral Mayo to give refuge to Americans and other foreigners on American vessels as far as possible. The department today suggested to Admiral Fletcher the possibility of taking the marines off the transport Prairie at Vera Cruz and sending that | vessel to Tampico to receive the refu- gees who cannot be cared for on the othar ships without more or less in- | convenience, It is about settled that if an ditional ship is sent to the east cowst it will be either a navy transport— possibly the Hancock, now at New Orleans—-or a commercial vessel. Officlals here did not regard the shore report from Tampico that the rebels are receiving aid from the American battleships as worth com- menting upon. MRS.
