Wilbur Smith’s broadeast den issued from New London to run any man in the state over the marathon route stirred up the sporting spirit at_the Norwich State hospital, where there is backing for $200 for Carter Collins of New Haven to defeat Smith over the full marathon route. Jack Collins, Jr., of New Haven, brother of Carter, is ‘employed at the hospital, and on Tuesday evening sald that he wished to staie through the Bulletin that Carter would run Smith, and the hos- pital men would back Collins to the extent of $200. Jack Collins stated that if the Smith backers wanted to arrange a match he would be at The Bulletin office at 7. o'clock on Thursday evening ready to meet the backers of Smith for the purpose of posting forfeits and arranging time and place for the race. Collins_said that he would expect to have the privileges of selecting the place for the race as his man was the chailenged party, and the time could be mutually agreed upon. Tom Tuckey of Montville has replied | to Smith's challenge, also_saying that {n willing to race the New London man, either for 15 miles or over the marathon distance, according to which finds he can into condition for. expresses the belief that Smith »ean get all the running he wants if he meets Collins, and after Thames Loa A TIMELY WORD ABOUT INSURANCE sbject of great importance. procrastinate on this impor- Yon't t matcer.

Cleveland, O., Jan. 31.—The fight be- tween Abe Attell, featherweight cham- pion, and Tommy Kilbane here last night, in which Attell broke his right flat shoulder bone, was declared no contest by Referee Will McKay today. The injury to the champion proved more serious today when it was learn- ed that his left arm was also injur- ed, teh tendons being sprained and bruised. However, in spite of his al- most helpless condition, Attell insisted GENERAL RISE IN PRICES. In Late Hours of Trading—Hill and Harriman Stocks the Features. Now York, Jan, $L.—The financial | community was interested chiefly to- v in the announcement that the | Harriman companies would expend $75,000,000 in tho improvement of that tem, in completing the _double ing of the lines from the Missou- river to San Francisco and _in | double tracking portions of the Ore- | gon Short Line. The decision of the Union Pacific and Southern Pacific managements to undertake £o im- portant a project at this time was ac- cepted as a significant expression of confidence in present and prospective | conditions. It was pointed out that the action indicated a continuation of the policy of the late E. H. Harriman ef anticipating the development of traffic requirements, and that the distribu- tion of the funds necessary to carry out the project over a period of five years would relieve the companies of financial strain. Wall street received the news too late in the day to digest it thoroughly, but _first {mpressions were favorable, and helped to impart a tone of strength to the market at the close. The Harriman project and the quar- terly report of the United States Steel Corporation, which came out after the close of the market, were the note- worthy features of & day which was barren of important news otherwise. The statement of the steel corporation for the final quarter of 1910 shows tr | v earnings of $25991,000 with net carnings of $20,462,000. At first blush ~the statement would seem | disappointing, in that the gross show- ling for the month was several millions below expectations, this being partly due to the low returns for the last month of the year. Farnings for the year, aggregating $141,144,000, make a very favorable comparison with those of 1909 and 1908, which were $131,491,- 000 and $91,845,000 respectfully. On the stock market the railroad is- sues especially the Harriman and Hill stocks, were the conspicious fea- tures. The morning session was dull and professional, with periods of un- certainty which presumably reflected | doubt as to the character of the steel | report. United States Steel was active and feverish, but in the later hours of trading shared in a general rise which placed values considerably |above yesterday’'s close, and touched 80, the high point of the yvear. Strength of the Hill stocks was as- ated with developments of a favo E re in the affairs of that sy tem .

BIG LEAGUERS READY TO START SOUTH. | Training Camps Will Begin to Fill During the Next Month. the Since the annual meetings of the ing of their teams. With the exc gion of the Boston Red Sox long train- ing trips have been abandone A few years ago the big league tea in favor of Georgia and south Atlant coast cities for training camps. Now the blg league managers prtfer to take their teams to the other side of the Mississippi. It has often, though not invariably, been the case that a good training trip meant a great deal to a team. The fighter are confident that a couple of | months will completely restore him, | and Attell is equally optimistic.

Snow drove the team out of the col- lege town after a week of idleness. They hurried to Vicksburg where rain allowed only & day or so of work They went to Atlanta and again were prevented from working by raim Al the real work the team got was in ex- hibition games north of the Ohio river, Yet they won the pennant hands down. In a few weeks from now reports will come from the training camps lauding the voungesters being tried out. Few players get regular jobs on the strength of the work done in the train- ing season. They must make good in a real ball game before they can lay any claim for having upheld their end. Long Trip for Red Sox. President John I. Taylor, of the Bos- ton Red Sox has mapped out the long- est trip ever taken by any baseball club, The players leave on Feb- ruary 18 and go to California by way of Chicago. The team’s training will be done at Redondo, just outside of Los Angeles. The club will use two special trafs and live on them. The itinerary will cover about 8,500 miles. | ‘With a perfect baseball diamond and well prepared playing field await- |ing them, the Giants will again do their training at Marlin Springs, Texas, which Manager John M raw consid- ers an ideal spot for the purpose. The first squad will leave February 11 by way of New Orleans and the second on February 18 from St. Loais. They will _begin practice under McGra eye February 20. The third squad will ve this city by steamer on February he fourth from St. Louis on The team will break farch 28 and come north in ions. Highlanders Work at Athens, Ga.

PROPOSED CHARTER 1S NOT OPPOSED (Comtinued from page fivew based on broad principles and that the best and brightest minds in the country are interested in the form of govern. ment to which it belongs. The basis of it all is in fixing personal responsi- bility in _the adminstration of all city affairs. There would be an elmination of tho shifting of responsibility from one group of officials to another. ©n- der the proposed charter we hope to have conditions such that we can put our hand on the man upon whom re- sponsibility rests. The plan should be given a thorough trial. The water and gas and electric _plants have made money, and there is no reason why all the cify departments cannot be as ef- | ficiently administered. He urged the committee to let Norwich demonstrate the value of the commission form of government. Norwich has the ambi- tion to be the best governed city in the state, he said, “but we have got to have the tools. Others Are Heard. Frank H. Smith said the business men of Norwich heartily endorse the plan and believed it would prove & sav- ing measure in handling the business of the city. Judge J. H. Barnes said that he did not think Norwich would reject the charter it given a chance to pass upon it. Common sense teaches that thir- teen or fourteen men serving for honor are mot going to do the same good work as four or flve men who must make good to hold thelr positions. Af- ter making a_reference to the water question, Mr. Barnes #aid that the city needs something and most people think ithis (the charter) is it. Judge Barnes 1did not think the recall clause in the | new charter is just right. was' asking too much to require 10 per lcent. to recall: 5 per cent. would be | sufficient. ~His only other eriticism was aimed at the punctuation of Sec- tion 9. Senior Alderman Approves It. Grosvenor Ely said he considered that the charter originated with the present mayor, who was elected on a democratic ticket, which might create a belief that the plan i8 a partisan move and has volitics in it, but as a republican member of the common couneil he was before the committee to approve of it. Mr. Ely said an economical administration was not possible under the present charter and that he gave his unqualified approval to_the charter now proposed. Frank H. Pullen said he was very strongly in favor of the new measure. Nelson J. Ayling thought it a signifi- cant indication of the general populari- ty of the plan that a majority speaking in favor were republicans. Tt has been approved generally by parties and classes. He said.he had looked for a mare’s nest in the measure, but did not find it. Suggested Few Changes. Charles D. Noyes said he came to listen rather than to talk. He believed, however, that the idea of a govern- ment on a purely business basis, with polities eliminated, appeals to every- ona. He considered the plan an effort to get the most fit citizens for office. Mr. Noyes said that he did not want to say anything embarrassing, but in his opinion two or three changes should be made in the present form of the petition for a mew charter.. He thought the 10 per cent. recall too high, inasmuch as a great many people would hesitate to sign because of social or business reasons, and weeks would likely be required to get the desired number of signatures. He said he be- lieved & § per cent. recall clause would greatly strengthen the new charter with the people. Discussing the public utilities fea- ture of tha measure. Mr. Noyes said IN THE AUTOMOBILE WORLD Watching Legislation Concerning Roads—Europe Ripe for American Cars—New York Show Broke all At- tendance Records. Automobilists of the whole country watch with much concern the pro- gress of legislation in New York state as it relates to motor vehicle and high- way laws, for invariably these stat- utes serve as models for adoption in other commonwealiths. Particularly has this been the case with the New York highway law, under which more money is being expended than in all the other eastern and middle states combined. Stirred by the suggestion changes in New York, the Automobile association has adopted resolutions opposing the movement to transfer the work of con- struction and maintenance of roads in New York state to the office of state engineer and surveyor, on the ground that the best results have been obtained by entrusting the control of highway affairs to appointive officials who have long terms of office, thus assuring continuity in policy and re- tention in office of experienced men.
