There is quite a difference in the twe sums, and the proposition appears to be one in which the authorities need to go carefully and see fl’q\a(kno mis- | takes are made. The sewer system has ibeen very Britain, suits for damages and the necessity costly for New made so by for changing the system So as to pre- vent further suits and ‘to Bvoid the enforcement of the injunction pro- ceedings instituted by Hartford.

New Britain has as its guests today chiefs and members of the various police departments of the state, it welcomes them as friends in a good ‘cause and hopes their visit will be a pleasant one. An organization like the one represented here today is a good one for the state because it makes for a personal acquaintance that cannot help but have beneficial results in the way eof punishing crime. People who commit offenses against the law sometimes escape to other places and while a search will be made for them as a matter of if there is a personal acquaintance be- tween the heads of the police depart- ients in question. This organization has for one of its objects the promo- tion of this feeling and it ought to be strengthened by kind and courteous treatment in every city where a ' meet- ing is held. New Britain! however, can be relied upon to hold up its end in this respect. Police business is one of the most important branches of any city gov- ernment, it deals with the safety and protection of people from the crimi- rally Inclined and its work is often assoclated with the gravest kind of danger. It does not receive as much support as it should from the com- munities in general, and yet when a person is attacked or injured or his property has been damaged he de- mands as his right the protection and Eelp of the men who have not been given the consideratiion’ that belongs to them and the work they are ex- pected to perform. - But it is good to know that the situation is improving, that the average citizen is becoming more appreciative, that the time is coming when public service will be ‘better understood-and that the police- man, Hke all others, will receive his due meed of praise for. the good work which he -performs in darkness and ddylight, in storm and fair weather. ‘WOMEN 'AT PRIZE FIGHTS. One of the stock arguments ad- vanced against prizefighting, or to use the more modern term, boxing, is that it is demoralizing, that it causes a rough element to gather and that the general effect upon a community 1€ bad. To those who have seen these exhibitions as now copducted, they seldom appear as bad as they are painted and in some cases they have been wery tame affairs indeed. There is much evidence now that they are improving In pblic estimation, for they are being attended by women iu large numbers, not in this country, to be sure, but what is done by the society women in Paris and London is very likely to be taken up by their American sisters. The newspaper accounts of the Ritchie-Welsh contest in London last night e(:nuln reference to the titled ladies in rich gowns at the ringside applauding the fighters and express- ing their deep pleasure at the an- nouncements made by the alergyman who acted as referee. The same cler- gyman officiated in a similar capacity at another fight in the same city a week ago, and while he has not escaped criticlsm it is very apparent that prize fighting is being viewed in the largest of Furopean citles in a much different light than when the principal participants rejoiced in the names of Bill Perry, Tom Sayers and Jem Mace. Paris is ahead of London, for society in that lively city turned out in large numbers a short time ago, to see Jack Johnson perform, & man whom the average white woman | inight reasonably object to being al- lowed any privileges in any city. There are not many places in this country where prize fighting is per- mitted, but {f women are to sanction it by attending whenever they have an opportunity it is reasonable to assume that the sport, as it is called, will soon increase in popular- ity. It is indeed a strange world. A h#orolls touch to events in Mex-, ico has been developed owing to the purchase by Villa of a $1,000 bath tub, one rivaling in magnificence the )zlltofie tubs of the Roman emperors. @& proceeding, moreover, which . regarded, as an evidence that an bandit chieftain and hero * ctvilized.—New Haven| irier. Arrest of a train wrecker hasagain taken_ place.. If Berlin experiences a like third degree: by railroad detec- tives this ‘particular place did when the “framed-up” Maromas wreck oc- curred, Berlin will be entitled to a place on the map for railroad in- genuity in the wreck line.—Middle- town Penny Press. Precisely what might have been ex- pected as.a natural result is the an- nouncement that the Cudahy pack- ing interests are to start a stock farm in: Colorado, where they will raise beef ‘cattle. to supply their packing houses. By raising the cattle which they market in the form of beef the Cudahys will eliinate profits that have been paid to the range owner and men who deal in cattle and they will pocket themselves all the pro- ceeds of the industry with the ex- ception of the small profit the re- tafler enjoys.—Hartford Post. There are some crimes for which those who are guilty should be more severely punished than for other things -done in the heat of anger or the madness of the minute. One thing for which there ought to be only one penalty and that one capital punishment is kidnapping. Another crime for which no mercy ought to be shown the culprits is train wreck- ing. = No excuse can be offered that will in any way lighten the gravity of the matter nor give any excuse for the act which may cost many lives.—Meriden Journal. If Dr. Anna Howard Shaw's let- ter to President Wilson, apologizing, in a way, for the impolite attempt of some .of the suffragettes to heckle the president at the meeting in the White House, is.symptomatic of a change of attitude among women suffragists, it is weleome.. We hope it is not mere- ly ' expressive of the difference be- tween one hody of suffragists and an- other.. . . Intelligent observers of the way public opinion acts must have feélt that there was a decline of friend- Miness toward the suffrage cause on account of the brutal behaviour of the wild women in England and of the refusal 6f American suffragists to disavow sympathy with their conduct. —Waterbury American. Little credence was given last week ‘1o the story that Colonel Ujlman in- tended to make a contest for the re- publican nomination for congress in the Second. district. And what little belief there was in the report was shattered Saturday, when Colonel Ullman once more announced that he wasg through with politics and that, even if nominated and elected, he would feel compelled to decline the ‘honor. That should settle not only this story but others of the same sort that will spring up later. Colonel Ullman knews his own miNa. If he has made, up hfy mind to abanc politics he will do it and there will be no reservations nor . exceptions, What a pity it is that when he.saw Chairman Roraback the other day he did not urge him to go and do like- ‘wise. Retired Mr. Roraback would be an asset to the republican party. At its head he is a serious hindrance. —Ansonia Sentinel. The New Day in This Country. (Indianapolis News.) ‘The days of plutocracy were beau- tiful—for the plutocrats. But they have passed. The people have put their hands to the plow, and they are going to drive the furrow through. They promise to make it possible for a man to do business in this country without license from a trust; they have already broken the hold of the big banks on the little ones. There are many who do not even vet realize how vast is the work of reconstruction. A great—and in some respects a wonderful—system had been built up largely on privi- lege—tariff and other. Through enormous contributions to campaign funds the great trusts and railroads purchased favors from 6 the govern- ment. A few men, with a direct and selfish interest in the matter, decided what our taxes should be. It was a veritable feudal system, based not on birth, but on wealth and usurped power. It is against this system that the pational administration, backed by the veople, has arrayed itself. 'We are seeking some measures of democracy. in trade and commerce, as we have it in politics. We have today—and may we continue to have—a govern* ment that is, at least, stronger than the steel trust. And with it we shall have a more widely diffused prosper- ity and a greater command of the good things of life than we have ever had. The people have resolved that this country shall be what it was meant to be—the country of the average man.. Whatever suffering there is, is due to the fact that the evils were allowed to grow to such enormous proportions as to make their eradication extraordinarily dif- ult. The blame must rest, not on ithose who are now trying to right the wrongs, but on those who sat still and hallowed them to reach their present proportion. WHAT OTHERS SAY HAND CAR WR[(:KS m Rfllfl[ VESSH.S MGM"_I_AN Views on all sides of timely questions ‘as discussed in ex- changes that come to Herald office. Life Safer in New York. (Byooklyn Eagle.) There hns‘ been a revulsion from the reckless!shooting which made some streets of New York resemble those of a mining town before and after Rosenthal was murdered. ‘Whether the conviction and execution of the four “gunmen” in that case are responsible, or whether the police are growing more energetic in their pursuit of armed gangsters, we do not know, but for the first half of this Year there were but forty-four hom- icidal shootings, while there were fifty-three such cases during the same period last year. The num- ber killed by automobiles and the number of suicides have also fallen off. There are many indications that the police are paying more atten- tion to their legitimate duties un- der the present administration - than they have done 'for a good while. Presumably this increased . activity for the protection of life and prop- -erty goes along with a lessening at- tention to’ the {llicit sources of rev- enue which used to be so large a matter of police concern, but on that point no statistics are kept. No evi- dence of police efficiency could be more welcome than the decrease in the. reckless use of ‘‘guns” and au- tomobiles. Many of the deaths due to both causes were calculated to give a stranger the impression that New York was a city without law, of course, the proportion of reckless “‘gunmen” or reckless drivers wag al- most infinitesimal, but their activities were altogether too conspicuous and too deadly. The check to them was needed. Wilson’s White Duck Suit. . (Philadelphia Public Ledger.) Hardly less significant as a pre- cedent than the appearance of the president at Independence’hall on the Fourgh of July, was his appearance in a white duck suit with a Panama hat. The summer costume of the average American man is as inap- propriate to the season as the cos- tume of an equatorial African sav- age would be in this city in mid- winter. Men do not dress for com- fort,' but to please Mrs. Grundy. They are, afraid of what someone will say if they go to business in white duck or white flannels, in seersticker or linen. A few heroic souls, however, brave convention and wear cool cos- tumes on a hot day. But what a refreshing sight our streets would be at noon if the men coming from the stores and offices all appeared in white or light tan coats and.trousers!: The impression of coolness would be So contagious that even the mercury in. the thermometer would seem to drop. 1f a band of heroic souls will now sign a new declaration of indepen- dence of sartorial convention, and agree to hang together in their de- termination to be comfortable in the July swelter, a new republic, found- ed on liberty in dress, may spring into being and become coterminous with the great republic whose an- niversary has just been observed. WILSON TO LISTEN TO CHICAGO MEN Conferwq.m ,at, White House Today on Industrial'and Financial Situation. ‘Washington, July 8.—An important conference for a discussion of the in- dustrial and financial situation of the country as well ‘as the administra- tion’s trust program will be held at the White House today. President Wilson had an engagement to discuss these matters with a delegation of business men representing the Chica- go Association of Commerce. The interview had been sought by the Chicagoans. Tomorrow the presldem has an engagement with Henry Ford, the Detroit manufacturer, a committee of bankers from Illinois, and a dele- gation of the National Association .or Supervisors of State Banks, who have been holding their annual conven- tion at Atlantic City. * The president, it was statéd, haea requested the association to ‘frame regulations. by which the banking laws of the various states would come form to the new regional bank act. In their interview asking for toe day’s conference with the president the Chicago business men stated definitely that they wished to discuss anti-trust legislation, features of which they oppose. The president was prepared to listen to their arguments, but it was believed that he hardly would consent to any important changes in the bills. Tmportant COUPID. STARTS RUMOR. Secretary Phillips, However, Evades Answering Questions. - Hartford, July 8.—Cupid has been hovering so long over the state pitol that a rumor that started yes- terdny was only a natural sequence. ‘When | Secretary of State Albert Phillips was asked if it was true that he was soon to marry one of his stenographers in the automobile de- partment, Miss Pauline Daisy Kemp- ner of Hartford, he smiled cheerfully and said he didn’t wish either to at- firm or deny the report. Miss Kempner, who is a daughter of Nathan Kempner, is at present in New York city.

Clinton, July 8.—Traffic on the Shore' Line branch of the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad was blocked for a time late yesterday by a collision between an east-bouna freight train and a hand car near the Grove Beach station. No one was in- jured. The engine of the freight was derailed and thrown on. its side, three coal cars and a box car Were smashed and two other coal cars overturned. The engineer and fire- man stuck to their cab and crawled out unhurt afterwards. The freight train was in charge of Conductor Hyde and Engineer Wilson. The hana car belonged to a section gang at work nearby. Roadbed Torn Up. On the hand car were two steel ralls.. One of these rammed the lo- comotive in such a manner that the engine was thrown several feet into the air before landing with its ténder on its side in some marshy land on the south side of the tracks. The roadbed w: torn up and the rails bent and tWisted. One car, loadea with ‘coal, was thrown crosswise of the tracks, effectually blocking traf- fic. The wrecker sent from New Ha- ven had the west bound track clearea for traffic early in the evening, but it was believed that the task of re- pairing the east bound line would consume the greater part of the night. Local trains transferred their passengers around the obstruction, while the express trains were de- toured over the sgybrook -Middletown branch. Has Narrow Escape. ‘When the "engine went over the engineer was on the under side of the cab. The fireman got out of his window with little difficulty, but the engineer bad to squirm through a small opening between the cab ane tender. % The .accident happened as the freight rounded a curve. The en- gineer said he saw the hand car and clapped on his brakes, but the mo- mentum of the train was such that it was carried forward, the engine strik- ing the hand car. It was claimed by the foreman of the section gang that he had sent a flag back to warn ap- proaching trains. MYSTERIOUS WILL STORY PUBLISHED Middletown Young Ladies Would Like to Know Who Colonel Regeough of Meriden Was. Meriden, Conn,, July 8.—Who was Colonel A. Regcough? The Misses Mary and Anna Roche of Middletown, who read on Friday last. that they were beneficiaries to the amount of about $110,000, under the will of €clonel A. Regcough of Meriden, know. Their hopes the re- port that Colonel Regcough’s estate was to be distributed, and out of the $200,000 estate, as the story ran, the infants’ home at Meriden, the G. A. R. home, in Meriden, the South Methodist Episcopal church of Meri- den, were each to receive $4,000, and Rev. John ‘Warner of New Haven $2,000. The Masonic order was to receive $12,000 and there were a num- ber of small bequests. Miss Mary Roche, who lives with her uncle, John J’ Carey in° Middletown and who would be the residuary legatee under: the will besides’ receiving . a specific gift- of $45,000 as was her sister, visited thé probate courts of Middletown and Meriden to get par- ticulars of the windfall. No such will has been offered in either court and Colonel A. Regcough was not known. There is no Rev. John Warner in New Haven g6 far as inquiry revealed, and no institutions in this city as men- tioned., No Colonel Regcough died here on June 1, and there is no record of sueh a man. The Misses Roche did not know the colonel but during their visit to the cqurt toeday they said that they thought possibly he was a relative on their father’s side. TO STUDY EUROPE. Chicago Aldermanic Commission Will sail Today. Chicago, July 8.—European rail- way terminals, vice problems ana public schools are the object of study of a Chicago aldermanic commission which prepared to leave today for a six weeks' tour of European capitals Mrs. Blla Flagg Young, superintend- ent of schools, and four of her as- sistants in the board of education, joined the commission today." The commission, originally namea to investigate methods of European cities in handling railway problems, later was broadened to include a study of social evil conditions abroaa and it was decided yesterday that it would be a good idea to send a body of Chicago educators with the com- mission. SALARIES ARE ASSURED. It was voted, at the meeting of the salary committee last night, to recom- mend a change in the city ordinance So that a salary of $1,200 for three police sergeants may be provided for instead of but one as is the case at present. The committee also voted to recommend a salary of $500 for the mayor’s secretary. An appropriation for this has already been made. IN'SOUTHERN WATERS Sec. Danicls Wil Take Up Problem to Assist Enlisted Men. ‘Washington, D. C., July 8.—Officers and men of the navy who have been long stationed in tropical waters will be glad to learn that Secretary Dan- ifels of the navy, will endeavor to find some means of relieving the vessels which have been away longest. Mr. Daniels said receptly that this question had been on his' mind for several weeks; that he had done the best he could under the circum- stances to give some liberty in the United States to the crews of thnese vessels, and that he hoped now to relieve those which have been away since last winter or longer. Under the circumstances there has been very little grumbling from the men at this unusual service in the tropics. Perhaps among themselves they have railed against the fate or policy which kept them in the cpen sea of Tampico or at Vera Cruz and Port-au-Prince, but for the most nars they have kept these grumblings to themselves. Also the health reports show that the men have stood the service remarkably well. Has Been Much Suffering. In certain cases there has undoubt- edly been actual suffering. “Srutn Carolina, in Sad Domin. a very tiving pton road:. on been in the th such duty that unable to get a ore leave, and have a month’ without listed ‘have gope insane from eat on board the Nash- ville, which has been in West Iniian water since September, 1913, contin- uously.

These vessels Mr, Daniels hopes to relieve ‘in“the ‘near future. . ) Serving As Barracks. ‘Among the officers the matter of personal hardship in such service is considered secondary to loss fleet sus- tains in its absence from manoeuvres. ‘Whereas little grumbling is heard be. cause of the hardship of the servic there is constant protesting agairst the detention of the battleships, which are only. serving as barracks. Ships and men, officers say, -are . gathews ing barnacles. In a service whose very reason for existence is prepared- ness, it is naturally hard te contem- plate policies or developments of any sort, which destroy. practically an en- tire year’s work in this directjon Idst of Vessels.
