DEMOCRATS CAN WIN ‘ents’Will Vote For Champ Clark to Ensure His Election as Speaker. ‘Washington, March 27.—Democratic claims that they would re-elect ak- er Clark and organize the house when congress meets in special session next Monday, were corroborated today by Representative Randall of = California, prohibitionist, and one of the five so- called independents - whose support may decide the numercial tie between republicans: and democrats. He said He was in position tp know enough in- dependents would vote with the dem- ocrats to secure that party’s control in the ‘house. If each party’s repre- sentatives vote together, four inde- pendent votes will be required to elect a speaker. * Republican Leader Mann might set the task of persuading his republican colleagues to agree to his withdrawal as a candidate for speaker on condi- tion that both parties co-operate fin organizing the house on a non-parti- san or bi-partisan basis. He found a number hostile to the suggestion, in- .cluding. Representative Lenroot of. ‘Wisconsin, leader of the progressive 'republicans and mentioned as a can- didate for republican support for speaker. 5 | ADVANCED FREIGHT RATES Railroads May Ask General Increase of Ten Per Cent—No Change Until Investigation Is Made. ‘Washington, March 27.—Represen- tatives of more than twenty west~ ern railroads met today with the In- terstate Commerce commission to- discuss informally proposals looking to a general advance of freight rates. Indications were that an increase of| not less than ten per cent. would be | sought. Eastern roads are reported ac having in mind a fifteen per cent. increase. It was stated authoritatively that the commission would not give its sanction to any advance whatever in rates without investigating the rea- sonableness of the proposed increases and giving all concerned an oppor- tunity to be heard. TWO DIE IN GUN BATTLE Eight or Nine Men Engage in Open ¥Fight With Pistols Probably in Gamblers’ Argument. Cleveland, March - 27.—Two men were killed and a third was wounded in a revolver battle in the street at ‘Woodland avenue and East Twentieth street this morning. Eight or nine men participated in the battle and about twenty shots were fired. Police believe the fight resulted from a gam- bling quarrel. One of the dead men is believed to be J. Guolatto. The oth- er has not been identified. Both the dead men were shot through the head and revolvers were found near each body.

The house sat this afternoon to work on its calendar which covers many pages. House Chaplain Benedict in his prayer asked for Divine aid and protection for the soldiers who have been called to the colors. The labor committee reported un- favorably on Mr. Rogers’ bill which ‘would prohibit the use of stop-watches or any other device intended to make a study of time used on piece work. Mr. Rogers secured the tabling of the report. The bill to continue the Savin Rock park commission was rejected. The senate confirmed the appoint- ments of Arthur L. Stebbins and E. M. Day as trustees of Baker’s acade- my at Colchester, and of Frank L. Wil- cox, W. T. May, Milton Fessenden, Edward E. King, John F, Reardon and Charles Rockwell as trustees of the Boys school at Meriden, Both Senators Neebe and Doughan objected to the unfavorable report on a bill to prohibit the employment of women, and minors under . eighteen years at polishing and buffing, and each made a speech. Senator Neebe said he would not “ask the devil him- self to work at this trade.’ The re- Jection of the bill was by a vote of sixteen to twelve. The senate made the Sunday bill the order of the day for Thursday at noon. The senate took from its calendar and passed under suspension of the rules a bill to permit Naugatuck to employ additional constables owing to present exegencies. Favorable reports were made on bills to have the staté ' treasurer set aside $500,000 yearly as a redemption fund for bonds, to permit parole of inmates of the Boys’ School at Meri- den after thirty days of good conduct instead of after one year, and increas- ing the salary of agents for. the State School for Boys. The excise bill, under which sum- mer hotel licenses could be issued from May 1 to December 1 was ve- Jected upan an unfavorable report. The bill requiring a definite state- ment that thee are labor troubles in an advertisement for help where a concern is endeavoring to fill strikers’ places, occasioned debaté in the house. Mr. Rogers wanted the bill re- committed but Mr. Peasley opposed this as he sald nothing would be gained thereeby| Recommittment was lost, and thee report was accepted and the bill re- Jected. g The bill requiring the secretatry of state to send a copy of the registra tion of a motor vehicle to' the town clerk in the town in which the owner residees was adopted. YACHTSMEN CAN HELP, Owners of Boats on Connecticut River May Be Guards. Hartford, March 27.—Commodore Francis R. Cooley of the ' Hartford Yacht club, who has'been ‘appointed a recruiting officer of the . Home | Guard, 1s planning to secure ‘the ser- vices of the various yacht clubs down the Connecticut river to guard their own particular sections. The work of organizing a naval division of the Home Guard is progressing steadily. Hurried shipments of enlistment blanks have been requested by sev- eral towns. A number of post surgeons and re- cruiting officers were appointed to- day by the board. FIRST NAVAL RECRUIT. The first New Britain man to volun- teer in the United States navy fol- lowing the urgent plea of Secretary Josephus Daniels printed on the front page of ‘last night's Herald, is Carl ‘W. Nelson, 25, ' apprentice seaman. Nelson went to the naval recruiting station in Hartford last night and his application was received. If he passes all required examinations he will be enlisted into the service. During the past féw weeks New Britain has sent some excellent material into Uncle Sam’s navy and it is very likely that more local boys will enlist within the next few days as the great possibility that these men will see actual service appeals to them most strongly. Several other New Britain boys have applied for enlistment in the navy but have been rejected, the chief fault in almost every instance being poor eyesight. City Advertisement NOTICE.
