CONTEST IN NATIONAL | DEM. COMMITTEE ! ight on Over Representation From Oregon and Kentucky—Three Cities After Convention. ‘Washington, Dec. 7.—Before the democratic national committee takes up the questions of when and where the national convention of 1916 shall be held it must dispose of two con- tests for seats in the committee. These are over representation of Oregon and Kentucky. In the former state W. . Easterly contested the seat of Will R. King. The Kentucky contest, involv- ing General W. B. Haldeman of Louisville and Urey Woodson of Ow- ensboro, was regarded with particular interest. } On Sept. 3, 1914, the democratic state central and executive committees of Kentucky chose Mr. Woodson to fill the vacancy caused by the death of John C. Mayo. The state demo- cratic convention last August elected General Haldeman national commit- teeman. Afterward, the Kentucky democratic state central and execu- tive committees ratified and avowed that these committees ‘‘elected Urey ‘Woodson to fill the vacancy caused by the death of J. C. Mayo, until the next democratic state convention as- sembled.” Mr. Woodson claimed Mr. Mayo was elected for a term of four years, that he was elected to fill the vacancy caused by Mr. Mayo's death, which made him a member of the commit- tee for four years from the election | of Mr. Mayo, which was in May, 1912. When these contests are out of the way the national committee will pro- ceed with the selection of a conven- tion city. St. Louis, Dallas and Chi- cago are the leading aspirants. There was some probability that the committee would not conclude its session until Wednesday, in view of the fact that the committee is to lunch with President Wilson at the ‘White House at noon of that day. STATE FISHERIES COMMISSION. Hartford, Dec. 7.—The state com- mission on fisheries and game held a meeting in the capitol today. Supt. John M. Crampton made a report to the meeting on the condition of fish- eries and game in the state.

He showed them a bottle con- taining about one hundred salmon eggs which he obtained from the fish and game commissioner of Massa- chusetts, Monday. Mr. Crampton met the Massachusetts official in Springfield. The Connecticut hatch- ery is about four weeks ahead of the hatchery in Massachusetts. Bot states received the supply of egs from Oregon at about the same time, this state securing 100,000 and Mass- achusetts 600,000 | NO “BELGIUM DAY” HERE. Mayor Quigley has decided against | holding a “Belgium day” in New | Britain. He was requested to do so by Anson T. McCook of Hartford, who ' asked him to appoint December 14 for that purpose.

A ship bearing relief from Connecti- cut will sail on December 20 and any contributions may be sent direct to Mr. McCook. oss Seal Purchased Is a Bullet Fired Against Disease The | | MELLEN POINTS OUT RAILROADS ABSCRBED Says Originally New Haven System Had More Than 300 “Pieces of Railroad.” New York, Dec. 7.—Technically un- der cross examination as a govern- ment witness, but obviously responsive continued his testimony today at the Hartford railroad, charged with crim- inal violation of the Sherman anti- trust law. 300 ‘“pieces of railroad” in the New Haven railroad system, said Mr. Mel- len in answer to questions by Charles F. Choate, designed to show the jury that the combination of these inde- pendent roads under New Haven con- trol became an economic necessity.: The New Haven road itself—a low grade line, following the line of least resistance between New York and Bos- ton—was the natural nucleus of ihe combination, he explained. “It was by far the most economical line for heavy freight between the Hudson river and Boston,” former New Haven president. St have often said that if ever the New Haven sought to do business at cost, go into the hands of a receiver.” The witness pointed on a map the roads that the New Haven had ab- sorbed when he first became connect- ed with it in 1892 as vice president. Then on a larger map, he indicated to the jury how at that time the New York Central and Pennsylvania rail- roads had also begun to absorb other roads.
