Music House That Makes a Specialty of Union Made Pianos. The Barker Piano Co., 278 Asylum street, Hartford, and 46 Main street, New Britain, has been one of the foremost music houses in this part of Connecticut for sixty-three years and is meeting with the continued growth which its record for square dealing so richly earns it. This concern is a favorite with the working people of Hartford and New Britain because of its moderation in prices combined with excellence of merchandise, its extremely generous treatment and its friendliness toward all. This firm is conducting one of the most successful Piano club sales ever known, starting with a determi- nation to obtain 50 members they have decided on request of many de- siring to join to increase the mem- bership to 75. All that is needed to join is to make a first payment and then subsequent payments as desired. We advise an early call at the store, 46 Main street. ROAD ROLLER CHARGE BY ALDERMAN KERWIN Continued From First Page.) Alderman Kerwin, “I make the amendment that it be referred to that committee to give it consideration and also to discuss the salary of an adsistant engineer.” “I'm against that,” said Alderman Christ. “There is no assistant as far as I know officially. We don’t want to establish the salary before we find the right man for the job. Get your man first.” “But while the salary committee is considering the engineer it can also consider the assistant, as he may be sprung on us as the engineer was,” replied Alderman Kerwin. Mayor Fears Delay. Again turning the gavel over to ‘Alderman Christ, Mayor Quigley said: “If we delay we will tie up the street work until June 1, and we will be in the same old rut, which is very bad policy. I know that Mr. Hall is ab- solutely competent and I trust that that amendment will not prevail.” “The ' mayor, when an alderman, was father of the committee on sal- aries and he impressed on us that all salaries should be established by that committee,” remarked Councilman Pagriessa. Alderman Jester couldn't see where anything could be gained by holding up the resolution. 'Alderman Shjne sided with the republicans and said any delay would 'be dangerous. He amended Alderman Kerwin’s amend- ment and at his suggestion the reso- lution was referred to the salary com- mittee for five minutes. After a five minutes’ recess the salary committee reported favorably on the resolution and it Was passed. Garbage Collection Contract. A report was read from the board of health in ‘which it was recommend- ed that the contract for the collection of garbage be awarded to John J. Donahue for one year for $6,600, with the privilege on his part of re- | newing it for four years on the filing | of a bond of $3,000. The report stat- ed that the recommendation was made unanimously by the ‘board., It also stated that the board had given a hearing to Swanson Bros., who bid $3,000, but was of the opinion that | the interestsof the city would be bet- ter served by awarding the contract to Donahue, Public health is para- mount to the saving of money, it said. Alderman Kerwin made a motion that the report be accepted and the recommendations adopted. Council- man Voight amended that the con- tract be awarded to Swanson Bros. Alderman Kerwin replied that accord- ing to the charter the council has no | authority to award the contract, but must approve or reject the recom- mendation of the board of -health. He said Councilman Voight's motion was eut of order. Councilman Teich asked for an opinion from Corporation Counsel Cooper, who was present. The latter said the point had occurred to him and he was looking it up. “If my motion is out of order I will withdraw it and offer an amendment that the contract be referred back to the board of health again ' with in- structions to award it to Swanson Pros.” “If Swanson Bros. can furnish a suitable bond it is up to the board of health to give him the contract and if the members don't do that we should call for their resignations,” said Coun- cilman Paonessa. Council Can’t Instruct Board. Alderman Christ questioned the seundness of Councilman Voight's last amendment and said the council had no authority to instruct the board of health to award the contract to Swan- son Bros. He offered an amendment that the contract be referred back to the board without instruction, Alderman Lawyer offered an amendment that a committee from the common council be included to confer with the board.” Mayor Quigley in- formed him that he was out of order. E————————— MO‘l‘HER ORAY'S WEET PO FOR cHlLDR;N. |'shoula : Mr, McMahon and he told Councilman (‘allaha.n—-“'rhls con- tract was referred back at the last meeting to the hoard of health which is without an equal in the state. It comes back to us with ‘the’ same recommendation and the board tells us that in order to get the best re- sults it is advisable that the contract be awarded to Donahue. I think we think over this matter thoroughly before deciding to send it back to the board again.” “No Graft”’—Chairman Bray. Chairman H. T. Bray of the board of health was invited to speak and he said: “We gave Swanson Bros. a hearing and we stand where we stood | ‘standing pat.’ | before. We are not This board has been accused of various things but I don’t think there is any member who got even a cigar cut of it. Mr, Swanson told us that W. L. tond. T asked Mr. Hatch about it and he said he would do so if P. S. Mc- Mahon’s name was signed to the ap- plication for the bond. I interviewed me he would want to see.the contract first as he didn’t want to take any chance of losing any money by signing.” Councilman Coyle did not think it Behooved the council to be penurious. He cited the case of the contract for the work at the summit of Walnut Hill park and said the park board had awarded the contract when it knew that the contractor would not be able to do the work for the money he asked. As a result the slope of the park has been in a wretched con- cition, he said. “Swanson Bros. might have made a special study of the local situation,” said Councilman Voight. “I under- stand that in some cities thecontrac- tor pays for the privilege of collecting the garbage.” ' “What cities?"” Christ. “New Haven, I Councilman Voight. “I was talking with a New Haven man today and he said that such a condition exists in only a small sec- tion of that city,” retorted Alderman Christ. “It costs the city of New Haven $14,500 per year to collect the gar- bage,” said Alderman Kerwin. Mayor Would Refer It Back. - Councilman Degnan asked the mayor to offer his opinion and once more descending from the rostrum the lotter said he was in favor of referring the matter back to the new board of health in order that -all criticism might be hushed. After threading its way through a maze of amendments the council voted to refer the con- tract back to the new board without instructions. As the vote was taken Alderman Kerwin informed the mayor that he had asked for a yea and nay vote. “You should have said so when the vote was being taken,” replied the mayor. “Not much chance,” retorted Alder- man Kerwin sotto voce. On recommendation of "Alderman Lawyer the tax collector was author- ized to engage extra clerks during May, June and July at an expense of not more than $150. Rutherford Resigns. The -resignation of Councilman A. asked Alderman believe,” replied N. Rutherford of the second ward, | who has been appeinted building in- spector, was acgepted with regret. On motion of ‘Alderman Christ the fol- Jowing committee transfers were made: Councilman Teich, chairman of ordinance committee to succeed Councilman Rutherford; Councilman Anderson from license committee to ordinance committee; Councilman Henning Johnson, chairman of 1li- cense committee; Councilman Ruth- erford’s successor to be appointed to license committee. “Is it necessary to take a vote on that?” asked Councilman Paonessa, facetiously, after Alderman Christ made his motion. Mayor Quigley appointed the follow- ing to the committee which will con- fer with the board of public works regarding the improvement of the lighting system: Alderman M. Kerwin, Councilmen H. G. Voight E. A. Parker, D. B. Marwick, James P. Degnan. The council took final action on the passage of the recommendation of the board of finance and taxation that the city issue $66,000 in bonds to de- fray the expense attached to the /con- struction of the pre-vocational school.

San Antonio, Tex., « April 30._A prominent ‘business ‘man of this city, who is a personal friend of the Mex- ican rebel leader Villa, said yesterday: “On the day that Victoriano Huerta meets a violent death the family of the murdered Francisco I. Madero will pay to Gen. Francisco Villa $75,000 in goild. *“This may seem a ment,” he continued, “but I know it is true. Remember, I do not say 1 know that Villa has agreed to kill Huerta for $75,000. That is not the bargain. It is simply that on the day that Huerta is killed Villa gets the gold. And rfore, Villa has a prac- tical hostage. “In his camp today is young Raoul Madero. Huerta might be able to compose his differences with the other rebel chiefs and line up a united Mex- ican force against America, but in Villa__who personally has a long score with Huerta—the dictator has one foe who will never rest while he is above ground.” Says Benton Defied Villa, Asked concerning the Benton inci- dent, this man freely told what he de- clared is the true story of the English- man’s death. & “Benton,” he said, “got just what was coming to him. I know Villa well and he is a pretty decent sort —in a Mexican, not an American— way. “For weeks before he was Kkilled Benton had been storming around El Paso, bitterly denouncing Villa be- cause the rebel chief would not as- sign 300 men to guard the propertics of which Benton, as trustee, was in charge. Sommerfeld, a German agent of Madero, who knew Benton well, went to him. I have the story at first hand: ‘* ‘Benton,’ Sommerfeld said, ‘vou have been talking too much. I am going to New York to buy ammuni- tion for the rebels and I want you to promise me that you will not go to Juarez to Villa until T return. = If you do you will find trouble.” Benton Breaks His Promise. ‘‘Benton promised and Sommerfeld left. Just two days afterward Ben- ton crossed the river and went to Villa, again demanding a guard. “ ‘I can’t do it Villa told him. ‘Nor would I now, even if T could spare the men. I have heard of your abus- ing me in El Paso and I believe you are a spy for Huerta. Take my ad- ‘vice—get out of Mexico and stay out.’ “That enraged Benton. ‘I will come into Mexico where and when I dama please,’ he told Villa flatly. ‘ ‘Enough,’ said Villa, and he called strong state- i the guard and put Benton under ar- rest. ‘“‘Almost at once Benton was put on a train for Chihuahua guarded by a Ru- dolfo Fierro. The train had gone only a few miles when Fierro's sol- diers dragged Benton out of the coach and Fierro shot the Englishman ‘o death.” MOTHERS’ CONGRESS, New Britain Lady's Ideas Adopted at Convention. Mrs. J. A. Traut who represented New Britain at the Mothers’ congress, held last week in Washington, reports the congress to -have been the most successful and enthusiastic yet held. This congress; the foundation of which is for the welfare of the child, is com- posed of representatives from all parts of the world and the force of its aims is more evident each year. Connec- ticut was one of the first states to take up. this work and it ranks as a leader for the betterment of the youth. A paper, prepared by Mrs. Traut, was passed and adopted by the con- gress. This carried a three-fold idea; (1) A plea for a symbolized trimming of the Christmas tree. (2) Intro- duction of a new idea of the Santa Claus assocjation. This association attempts to answer, through the help of citizens, all letters sent by chil- dren to Santa Claus. (3) Adoption of a national public Christmas tree carol. PLANNING CAMPAIGN. Progressive National Executive Com- mittce Meets in Chicago. Chicago, April 30.—Members of the National -executive committee of the progressive party met here today for the purpose of formulating initial plans for the 1914 campaign. Former United States Senator Jo- seph M. Dixon of Montana was to preside at the meeting. George W. Perkins of New York and Oscar King Davis, secretary of the national committee, were expect- ed. Henry F. Cochems of Wiscon- sin, who was chairman of the 1912 campaign committee, was prepared to outline in brief the plan which is to be adopted by the executive com- mittee. 1914, DEf[NS[ OF MILLER OPENED IN COURT Engineer of wmlc Molmtam fx- p.6ss Not Piaced on Stand. New Haven, Conn., April 30.—When the defense of August B. Miller, charged with manslaughter, was taken up in the superior court today it was expected that Miller, engineer of the White Mountain Express which ran into the Bar Harbor Express at North Haven on September 2, would tell his own story of the collision ut the outset. His counsel, however, had. outlined a different plan and be- gan by laying the ground work for his story. First of all telegraphers at the Berlin and Meriden stations were called to tell the time on the morning of September 2 that certain trains passed, including the two ex- presses which were in collision. At- tempts to introduce for the defense coples of rules and parts of rules governing engineers, and a sketch of the territory near the wreck were ob- jected to by State’s Attorney Alling, after several short disputes. The latter won out in most of his ob- Jjections. Trains passed Berlin sta- tion at 5:58, 6:04, 6:09, 6:35 and 6:55, all going south on the morning of September They passed Meri- den at 9, 2, 6:19, 6:23, 6:34, 6:44 and 7:05, an accommodation train being included in the latter xecord. Alling’s Objections Upheld. F. S. Evans, general chairman of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi- neers committee, was sworn. Objec- tions made by Mr. Alling to Mg, Evans stating the discussion had by the en- gineers’ committee with officials of the road over interpretations of the rules w sustained. This was after Mr. Evans had stated the nature of his railroad experience and his present duties. Objections were sustained when offered to questions asked him to describe signalling systems on the road, as were those to questions as to whether cautionary signals were dis- played between banjo signals. Mr. Alling constantly objected to questions most of which the court sustained and exceptions were taken. Mr. Evans not having run over that section, could not describe banjo signals 23, where the accident occurred, and 5 at Wallingford. Mr. Goodhart asked Mr. Evans whether or not he had had conversation with the official of the road as to the banjo' signals 23 and 25, and interpretation of the rules. Mr. Evans said he had late in May, 1912, Clash Between Attorneys. Mr. Alling objected to testimony as to the nature of that conversation. Much argument followed between the attorneys during which Mr. Goodhart faid that his object was to show that engineers were operating under rules printed in 1907, that conditions had so changed that in 1912 a committee representing Miller and other engi- neers had gone to the officials of the road for interpretation of the rules as applied to this section of theé 1li- vision by banjos 23 and 25. He claimed that it would be shown that engineers had protested running con- ditions on that section, and as the result of a conference a different in- terpretation was given to the rules than was specifically printed in the rule book. Mr. Goodhart’'s contention brought up again the question of rules, run- ning cards,. orders to engineers, etc. Mr. Alling objected to much of the matter which Mr. Goodhart tried to get in.

New Haven Youth Arrested While Attempting to Enter Fruit Store, ew Haven, Conn., April 30.—Wal- ter Hallask, eight years old, was ar- rested early today while attempting | to force an entrance to the fruit-store of Luigi Siani on Washington avenue.
