It was decided, while engaged in the acquire- ment of a right of way across Cuban territory to one of the rivers in the rear of the station, to enlarge the tract to be purchased so as to include this particular hill where an enemy might operate to advantage. This joint board has been engaged In relocating the rear defenses of the station as a con- sequence of this enlargement. APPEAL TO CONGRESS TO PROVIDE RELIEF.

MORE POLITICS THAN BUSINESS AT CAPITOL. Deals and Rumors of Deals Between the Two Parties. (Special to The Bulletin.) Hartford, Feb. 3.—It is believed that committee hearings will be commenced this week at the state capitol and that there will be a start made in the trans- action of public business, which will be in marked contrast to the three weeks previous since the opening ses- sion of the legislature. The commit- tees are now all organized and many of them have had business referred for action and report. Just at present the session indicates that it is to be more of a political than business gath- ering, but this may be all changed, for it 1s the unexpected that sometimes happens in the legislature. There are deals and rumors of both parties owing to the poiki status, the house being republican by a bare majority and the senate demo- cratic, but divided. There {6 in circulation fn the state capitol during the legislative recess a matter of importance that has as- sumed proportions greater than a ru- mor. It is said that there is desire for | a get-together spirit in the matter of minor judgeships and county commis- sioners, the legislators realizing that unless something in this line is effect- ed there will be disagreeing action and the appointments be eventually made by the democratic governor. According to report, the republican steering committes of the house made propesition to the democratic caucus of senators in session last Thursday that the republicans be allowed to name city judges and assistants and the county commissioners for two countles. » This was met by a counter propo- sition from the democratic senators that the republicans be permitted to select these officials for one county. Nefther proposition was formally ac- cepted but the counter proposition may be acceptable to the republicans, as they have that much to gain and nothing to lose. It is understood that if this deal goes through the republicans will se- lect for New London or Windham county, presumably the latter. In that event it would put Lewis out of the running for county commissioner and Harry Mann as judge of the city court of Putnam. Should New London county be se- lected, it would mean that there would be no contest between Lanphear, McLaughlin, Manwaring, Murray, Craney, Hanon and others for the county commisslonership, that Nathan Belcher wonld not succeed Judge Wil- liam B. Coit of New London. Charles Hickey would not succeed Philip Han- key as assistant, and William_Connor would have no show to succeed Daniel Cronin as prosecuting attorney.

UNANIMOUS DECISION Supreme Court Fails to Find Sufficient Intent to Constitute a Monopoly— Prosecution on Another Count. ‘Washington, Feb. 3—For the first time the supreme court of the”United States today held in effect in the “shoe machinery trust” case that the Sherman anti-trust law does not forbid the mere combining of non-competi- tors in an industry. Solicitor General Bullitt, for the government, had con- tended that if the combination brought into one hand an “undue proportion” of the trade it was forbidden by the anti-trust law. Court’s Decision Unanimous. “The disintegration aimed at by the statute does not extend to reducing all manufacture to isolated units of the lowest degree,” declared Justice Holmes in announcing that unani- mous decision of the court, and_the mere organization of the United Shoe Machinery company by the heads of several non-competing groups of shoe manufacturers had not been in viola- tion of the law. Lawful to Make Every Part of Ma- chine. The justice continuednto say that it is as lawful for one corporation to make “every part” of a steam engine and to put the machine together as it would be for one to make tne boilers and another to make the wheels. The bringing of non-competing branches of a trade into juxtaposition alone by means of a corporation, he said, in substance, did not furnish sufficient “intent” to raise the conduct to ths dignity of an attempt to monopolize. Prosécution on Another Count. Despite today’s decision, officials of the department of justice declared that the United States Shoe Machinery company would be prosecuted for the alleged criminal - violations of the Sherman law under the one remaining count of the indictments returned against the company, the validity of which was sustained by the lower court. That count, which was not be- fo\t‘a the supreme court, charged in af- fect that sh1e company was monopolls- ing the industry by combination, by tying the various shoe*machines to- gether, by the destruction of compe- tition, and by the acquisitien of com- petitors’ business. Officials vigorously maintained that the decision did not affect the government's case en this count. PATROLMAN TURNS STATE’S EVIDENCE. WiIll Prove Valuable Aid in Probe of Police Corruption.
