CONDEMNED SCALES IN USE IN CONNECTICUT. Hartford Sealer Says They Are Dumped Here from New York. Hartford, Conn., Apri 4—The spe- cial legislative committee appointed to investigate combinations in the prices of necessaries of life examined several local coal dealers today in reference 1o existing conditions of the trade with & view to recommending legislation re- sarding weights and measures. John R. Kemmerer, sealer of weights and measurss in this city. explained the duties of his office. He said he inspects platform scales in local coal yards at least once a year. The deal- ers don’t know when he is coming. He has never found them giving short weights. He said there s a great need for a state sealer. In New York, that office was created, conditions been remedied. A state sealer wou have supervision of weights and meat ures in all towns. Condemned Scales Dumped Here. He declared- that Connecticut is a dumping_ground for scales condemned. in New York. He gave the committee| privately the name of a measure below the standard which he would not allow in Hartford. These are sold elsewhere in the state. Mr. Kemmerer said that he bad weighed some package goods in the market. - He believed that all pack- 2ges shoul be lsbeled with the net w “Years ago.” he said, “there was a brand of rolled oats on the market with a big figure two on it, meaning pounds. Now a smaller package is #old, weighing one pound. five -ounces. The figure two is gone, and the price is the same as of old.” He said that poor > who buy ceal by the pail 'y at the rate of about $10 per ton. ‘here_is. no statute whic} tHe of 2 pall or the % contents. Another interesting point raized by Mr. Kemmerer was that dif- terent states have différent ascales of weight. For instance, tliirty pounds of oats make a bushel in_Hartford, per an agreement between dealer: In Chicago thirty-two pounds make a bushel. He thought that congress should fix a scale of weights and measures. Charles W. Newton favored the en- actment of a law providing for the licensing of coal peddlers. He thought it would protect the poor purchasing public. Knows of No Combination. Isidor Goldberg denied personal knewledge of any combination on the part of local dealers in fixing the price of coal. Asked if he had ever heard of a combination, he amused the commit- tee by saying that several years ago he sued the city because his bid was rejected, notwithstanding that it was the lowest. “There was a uniformity of prices on the part of other dealers.” he said. “I lost my suit, so concluded there was no combinatien.” Mr. Goldberg favored a law which would require dealers in small quanti- ties to sell by weight instead of bas- ket or pail Willlam Frayer said his coal is weighed in the mines, the ears baing in metlon while being weighed. IT the shipment is short of weight, he has to stand the shortage. He surprised the committee by saying that the nearest point for weighing by the carload is Canaan. He believed a law should be passed requiring the shipments of coal in closed steel cars. FITCHBURG FIREMAN KILLED BY EXPLOSION. Anether Fatally Injured at Pire in ; Cushing Building. Fitchburg, Mass., April 4—%ife was crushed instantly eut of Lieut. Charles W. Grinnell of Chamical No. 1 of the Fitchburg fire department and George Dow. a grain elevator foreman, was fatally injured as a result ef a hot air explosion during a fire in the Cush- ing building in the center of this city's business district late today.

CHANGES IN DIAZ CABINET HAV"E COME TOO LATE, HE SAYS: AL PEACE TALK-FUTILE - As Long as Diaz Refuses to Resign— Insurrecto Leader Says He is Pre paring to Strike a Decisive Blow: Madero’s Camp, Near Chihuahua, April 4—A declaration that all talk of peace is futile so long as President Diaz refuses to resign and that the cabinet changes at Mexico City have] served only to convince the insurrec- tos of their ultimate success, was made todey by Francesco 1. Madero, Jr., the provisional president, in an in- terview. - The interview was an am- plification of one which he gave to the Assoclated Press a few days ago. Preparing to Strike Decisive Blow. In all northern Mexico, Madero' said, the insurrecto movement was spread ing, until now the federal troops were confined to the garrison towns, “at which the insurfectos were preparing to_strike a decisive blow.” Father Cannot Act for Him. Referring to his father and Gustavo A. Madero, his brother, who were re- ported to have initiated peace plans with Minister Limantour with a view of ending the war, the insurrectionary esident hinted strongly that they ad no authority to act for him and he would not accept any proposals which were not addressed ~ directly either to himself or Dr. Vasquez Go- mez, his confidential agent in the United States. Cabinet Change Comes Teo Late. “The change of the ministry is a concession to an armed revolution,” said Madero, “but it comes too late and is not sufficient.” Madero’s Stene “Capitol.” Madero’s camp was reached after | sixty miles’ travel in a_ carriage. The uilding occupied by the leader and his staff is an. extensive stone and laster place, which he laughingly re- ed to as his “capitol” It is the seat of a haclenda of more than a mil- 1fon acres, owned by a member of the Madero family. ‘When the visitor arrived Madero came to the front portico, attended by Gen. Pascual Orozco and mémbers of his staff. Seven Americans With Him. After a formal greeting, the leader swept his hand toward the plantation where: 1,300 men were encamped and wanted to know if it did not look like an army. With him were Seven Amer- icans, including Dr. Wilson, his phys- ician, and Oscar G, Creighton, the American who has ~been active in blowing up railroad bridges. Madere Short and Plump. ~“The personal.appearance-of-Mad invited scratiny. A rather —short, plump man, dressed in a khaki suit, @& sweater and boots, with a quick, de- cisive way of speaking when he gave orders, invested him with the air of commander. A habit of meditatively gtroking his closely trimmed beard as he spoke suggested that he carefully weighed his wordy. The interview took place in a spacious, tiled room, and fmmediately turned on the subjéct of Ppeace. “We Mean to Fight It Out.” “We took up arms and we mean’ to fight it out. The change in the cabi- net is something unheard of in Mexico Dbefore. It is a concession to an armed revolution. But it is not sufficient, and it comes too late. It simply justi- fles us in our course and shows the goveynment's inability to crush us now.” A Recent Peace Conference. ‘Wastington, April 4—An important peace cofiference, the first meeting be- tween the Mexican ambassador hers and a representative of the Mexivan revolutionists, was held in Washing- ton on Sunday, March 26th, the news of which, hitherto a matter of much secreey, was obtained tonight by The Associated Prass. Senor De La Barra, formerly Mexi- can ambaesadar to the United States, it was leatned, conferred with Dr. Vaz- quez Gomer, head of the confidential ageney of the revolutionists and the authorized reprpsentative of Francisco Madaro, the insurrecto chief, just a fow hours befors Senor De La Barra left for Mexico City to take up his duties as minister of foreign affairs in the cabinet of President Diaz. A DEMOCRATIC DAY IN NASSAU COUNTY. Jeffersonian Party Successful in Two of Three Tewnship Elections. A New Yagk, April 4—Following up their -uws‘; of last fall when Martin ‘W.. Littleton, demecrat, defeated for eongress W. W. Cocks, republican, the democrats in Nassau county were suc- cessful in two out of thre: iennial tewnship elections today. In North Hempstead, Philip J. Christ (democrat) was elected supervisor over Joseph Post (republican) a plurality of 300, carrying the ticket with him to vigtory. In Oyster Bay township James Coxe (democrat) was similarly chosen su- Pervisor, defeating Painter (re- publican) by about 165. The contest was closer in Hemp- stead, whers Moses Craft, the republi- n nominee for supervisor, defeated Fleyd Weeks (democrat) by 55 vetes. The remainder of the township ticket as elected is republican, but a recount may be necassary. Nassau county’s normal republican plurality is about 1,800.

MERRIAM BY ABOUT 18,000 IN YESTERDAY’'S ELECTION. HAS SERVED FOUR TERMS Drizzling - Rain Kept Many Merriam Supporters Away from Soci Polls— lists Make a Large Gain. Chicago, April 4—Carter H. Harri- som, demodcrat, was elected mayor of Chicago loday.' It was the fifth time he had been given the office and his plurality, judged by about 75 per cent. of the raturns, first brought in, was in the nelghborhood of 18,000. Charles E. Merriam, his republican opponent, conceded the election two and a half hours after the polls closed. Prof. Merriam’s Comment. In cone his defeat, Profsssor Merriam said: “I am satisfied with the fight we have made. We have presented the issues of decent, honest, economical and prograssive government squarely to the voters in a way that cannot fail to help conditions. The battle must be fought, not once, but many times, and in the long run it will prove suc- cessful. I wish to thank my many friends who have loyally supported me with their time, money, eloquencg and enthusiasm. congratulate Mr. Slrrl. son on his victory and wish him well in his administration.” ‘Republican Vote Fell Off. Secrutiny of the returns by ward and precinct shows that Professor Merriam 80t nearly 7 per cent. fewar votes than Fred Busse (republican) got four years ago, whereas Harrison ran over 17 per cent. dhead of the figures attained by E. F. Dunne (democrat) at that time. The vote reaciied above 340,000, which is approximately 25,000 more than the record at the last prevlous mayoralty contest. “Silic Stocking” Wards Disappointed. DeBpite this, both sides agreed that Merriam lost because the “silk stock- ing” wards failed to show the strength that had -been expected from them in favor of Merriam. Even in the Twenty-fifth ward,where Merriam’s candidacy was conceived, failure by Merriam supporters to g0 out in the drizzling rain which fell all day to cast their ballots for their choice caused the professor's total to drop far below expectation. It was the result from this ward which first gave Merriam an intimation. that his fight was in vain. On. the other hand, Har- rison, who was receiving the returns at his home, announced as s0on as this ward had reported that he had won. After this ward reported, the result was never in doubt. Promise jof 70 Cent Gas Helped. " While thq First ward gave its usual s eight vears of service in chair drew many ffom the pponents had counted on. ol said by his|managers to have had a great influence ~with the West Side wards, wheve he showed unexpected gains. Failurs by the Dunne democrats and those included in the camp of Roger C. Sullivan to forget party lines and vote for Merrlam was given by the latter's managers as_the basis of the republican defeat. Merriam made a speclal appeal to these voters to sup- port him instead of Harrison, with whom they had an especially bitter fight in the primary election. Socialists Make Big Gain. There were three annexation propo- sitions before the voters. Those for Oalk Park and the town of Cicero fajl- ed fo carry in_those towns, though voted for heavily in Chicago. The village of Morgan Park decided to come in after years of opposition. A feature of the campaign was the votz polled by the secialist party. The vote in the precincts first reporting in- dicated that the vote would reach 24,- 000, a gain of 11,000 over the vote of four years ago. On the other hand. the prohibition vote, which was 5.875 four years ago, dropped fo 3,000 this year. TO MAKE PROVIDENCE GRAND TRUNK TERMINAL Amendment Calls- for Grade Crossing at Harbor Junction. Providence, R. I, April 4—Through a proposed amendment to the charter of the Southern New England Rail- way company, introduced in the house today, the Grand Trunk Railway com- pany ‘took amother. step in its plan fo make Providence one of its New Eng- iand tidewater terminals. The amend- ment asks for permission to cross the Harbor_Junction branch of the New York, New Haven & Hartford rail- road ‘at grade, the objective point be- ing a terminal dock on the west shere of Narragansett bay, it is supposed.

Hartford, April 4—Senator Avery il concerning the granting of liquor licenses, in cffect giving to- county, commissioners a discretionary power i grant licenses within 200 feet of & church, school or other building that is so protected under the present law, was heard by the .excise committes Tuesday afternoon, with prominent Norwich citizens appearing in _favor of the measure, and with the Water street section of Norwich much under discussion. Present Law Affects Seven . Saloons. The object of the bill is to broaden the powers of the commissioners, they having no power under the present law to grant a license within the 200 foot Limit, even though there should be no opposition to their doing so. From all that was said by the Norwich men it was to be understood that the present law, should their city vote no license and later again voie license drive seven saloons in the W section out of business, bec their proximity to Trinity church, and jncidentally the value of property now used for saloons. Norwich would street he commit- tee was also told that the sentiment in 1 that Norwich was for segre loons, and that Water str erally considered : that was little obj was gen- for them er. Attorney Charles W. had charge of the h first speaker. He discu tion from a legal standpoint, viewing the various c s laws relative to the mutte sideration. Under the present law, Ar. stock said, the county comm have absolutely no discretion to granting a license within 200 feet of buildings covered by the law, after a town has voted license. The pith of what the speaker afterwards said to the committee was that it would be desirable to allow the commissioners discretionary powers in this respect. In New.London county the commis sloners are careful in the extreme that no license shall be zranted in an un- desirable place, cven though such a plice be more than 200 feet from a ehurcl, school or other buliding cov- ered by the Jaw. The present law malkes all territory within the 200 foot Jimit prohibitor Pratt Tells of Danger to Water Street Saloons. George H. Pratt, who said he had been in the liquor busi in No wich for many years, brought a map of that part of the city about Mai and Water streets, that the committ might get a better idea of J the present law would affe ers in that section in case Norwich votes no lice He sald the places of seven liquor dealers in Norwich, all within 200 feet of Trinity M. E. church, situated_on Main v feet ahove Water street be closed | because of being within the 200 foot limit in such a c 1ough there is no general ob. maining_there located for ve sald_that in c a no license vote in Norwich he not under the present law, after Norwich again vot- ed license, go back there and again do a Hquor business, and in such an event he would feel that his pro not be worth more than the dollar of the present Mr. Prait said that the Water street saloons were no more of a_detriment to the church than if they were forty miles away. He said he did not want a law that would cause his property to bo reduced in value by a little flop- over on the license question. Judge Barnes Favored Bill. Judge John Barnes of Norwich also talked in favor of the bill advocated by the other Norwich gentlemen. Judge Ayling Also in Favor. Judge Nelson J. Ayling said that Norwich is peculiarly circumstanced with reference to this particular law. In discussing the relation of Main and Water streets he said that they were d ametrically opposed as_to trade con- ditions, as different as 1s Cairo from Boston. It had been the policy of city administrations to segregate the sa- lonns in Water street, which is largely given over to that purpose, and no one in Norwich objects to the street being used for that purpose. The section is under the eye of the police. In favor under con- Com- ioners have been Mr. Pratt of sioners Discretionary Licensing Powers NORWICH CITIZENS SPEAK IN FAVO Seven Liquor Dealers Would be Forced Out of Busim Under Present Law, After an Era of No-Licen “Keep Saloons in Water Street,” Keynote of ments of Bill’s Advocates—Some Opposition. This view was also coincided in Judge Ayling, Judge Barnes and Pratt, who ali agreced that the et commissioners are very careful as whom and where they grant lies and that it would be safe to discretionary powers to them im manner. b Spooner of Kensington Opposed. Kensington J. H. Spooner of peared in opposition. lie thought a good case had heen made out as Norwich is concerned, but he not think it wise to enact a law the lines of the bill under coms tion. Mr. Spooner sald hw was f jar with conditions in Nerwich, Dt those conditions were not the same i every other license town in the state. The committee should not consider interests of seven men in the business in Norwich and legistate them, to the detriment of the wheole state. The Norwich men, Mr. Spooner are crying about ctiing that not happened and cannot happen the city goes no license. Should & no license, 19 out of the 75 saloons Norwich will have to go, an 3 knew that Norwich was arty uated as to the matter under cussion, but what was wonted thees would not be good for the state, a8 & general proposition. Former Norwich Man Opposd. O. E. Ryther, f i thirtecn vears a resident there, also heard in opposition. He of three other sections of Noswich matter under considers~ men and women, giris and boys 7 annon Auditorium to picture shows, and that the was in close proximity to the sireet salfons. At ther said, school children are fo run a gauntlet of saioons way to £chool, and this was issuo in the last ciection, wi sult that the Taftville riet for no license by a ,..m}‘y of He also spoke of the Falls section of Franklin street, criticising o ¥ Opposed by Hartford Clergyman, Rev. M. A. Sulivan of Hariford aguinst the repeal of the 200 foot Which in the interest of Nowwich it might be desirabfs to repeal, but he did not think it would be for the bem- efit of the state. He cited lar case in Hartford county whevein o had_received what he termed & “mew deal” from the county commisslonens, who granted a license to a saloon Jo- cated within & very short distunce of parochlal schoool where 600 chilirem . were attending, and that he had && ight two years to be rid of fhe nuls- ance that would likely return if the bill under consideration became law, and tbe present law repealed. A fawr Norwich men might suffer, out 1o fee ject the bill would be for the best jue tarests of thousands and thousands of people throughout the state. South Manchester Man Against It 1. L. G. Hohenthal, of South Man< chester, prohfbition candidate for govs ernor last fall, also said a few w azainst the proposed change from ent law The closing argument was by Me. ring proved a very interests ing ome, particular stress being by the Norwich speakers on the - abiloty of protecting a Norwich and Norwich property from pos ine jury, and on the desirability of gramte ing discretionary powers in the preme ises to the county commmissioners. INSANE MAN WANTED TO MURDER THE POPEs Says Relatives Left Money to Church Instead of to Him.

After he seized by the polce, one of wiom wounded, the man, swbsequently idsni- tified as Plotro Pesanti, sald thas he hated the pope and the prissis, whe had been his ruin. Pesanti told a rambling story duse ing his examination, in which he he had & rich uncle and aunft heir he would have been if the priests had not induced them to isave thelr | property to religious institutions. This exasperated him, he continu 4 of the passage of the bill, Judge Ayling told the commitee that should the sa- Joons e driven out of Water street through the operation of the present law, they would likely percolate through sections of the city where they are not wanted. Judge Aving said he believed he voiced the general sentiment of the people of Norwich when he said, if they are to have,sa- loons, they would prefer them ag at present located. Water Strest the Place for Salosns. Henry W. Tibbits said the police de- partment felt that if liquor is to be sold, Water street is the place, as do the ‘county commissioners, who have cleaned up Franklin square. Thesdeal- ers in that section keep well Within the law. The section is as little of & nuisance to Main street as of it were twenty miles away. It is only just end right that the men doing a liquor business in Water street should be protected. Sheriff Rouse Favors George W. Rouse, city sheriff, in re- sponse to questions by Mr. Comstock, said he had known the Water street section for years, and that the sa- loons there are condneted in an order- Iy manner. He said he knew of no Detter place for the saloons than in that section. Ile favored 4 law that would place within the power of the county commissioners the right fo grant licenses (o those places in casé & change to no license and back again to license was experienced.
