A yerv Pertinent Question.

To the Editor of the Journal and Courier:
I notice in the Register of November
29, under the heading "Cheever School
in Danger and article giving details
Of the pending foreclosure suit of me-
chanics' liens placed upon the building
for goods furnished Contractor Healey,
and as a large taxpayer of the city I
desire to protest against the school
district spending the peoples money in
defending this suit for the benefit of
the unsecured creditors of Contractor
Healey.
The law under which these liens have
been filed is very explicit, and very par
tial in it's protection Of the owners
rights, as it specially provides that the
owner shall not pay in consequence of
any lien more than the contract price
Providing, however, the owner shall
not pay the contractor or his represen-
tative after having received due notice
except at his peril.
/ am informed that the school dis
trict proposes to ignore these liens and
pay over the money (for the amount of
the contract) to the trustee of Healey' $
estate Thereby releasing their bonds
men from all obligation), and defend
the several creditors of the insolvent
Healey at the expense of the taxpayers
with the possibility or probability of
again being called upon to pay off the
liens should the courts decide them to
be valid. When Contractor Healey made
his assignment there was some $4,000
due the contractor when the building
was completed. The board not only
had good bondsmen, but money enough
and to spare in its possession with
which to complete the building. Why
then, ! ask, should the board of educa
ton deliberately pass out all it's securi-
ty and purchase a lawsuit in which it
really has no interest?

Poli's Wonderland Theater.

"a Tip on the Derby as presented
by F'ilson and Enrol at Polls Wonder
land theater is proving very attrac-
tive bit of comedy. The situations and
dialogue are excellently contrived for
laughter provocation and there are very
few moments while the skit is running
that the audience finds itself free from
laughing. Mr. Filson and Miss Enrol,
who are among the cleverest farceurs
on the vaudeville stage, get all the fun
out of the piece that the clever author
put in it, and it would be a very demure
individual, indeed, that could sit
through "a Tip ON the Derby" without
shaking his sides. There are number
of clever artists in the supporting COM
pany, among others John and Nellie
Mccarthy, the Americas Comedy Four,
Mr.. Stevens and Miss Clark, Mr.. and
Mrs. Patten, Miss Kathleen Warren,
Conroy and Loring, and Mr.. Nudge and
Miss Morton. Popular prices, 10 and 20
cents; ladies in the afternoon, 10 cents.

CONNECTICUT'S SHIPBUILDING
INTERESTS

One of Connecticut's industries which
suffered quite severely from the contin-
ued business depression was it's ship
building, and for some time past the
shipyards of the state have been practi-
cally idle, with the exception of some
barge work. The business of building
large coasting schooners at the West
Haven yard, where several Of the finest
craft on the coast have been launched
has also suffered to some extent from
the death of Henry Sutton, who showed
a good deal of enterprise in this line.
1t is encouraging news that Connecticut
investors have contracted for large
vessel to cost about $50, O00 but it is to
be regretted that the contract is to go
to a builder at Bath, Me, instead of a
Connecticut shipyard. Ex-State Sena-
tor Ferris and other gentlemen of Nor
walk, who are interested in shipping

KAISER DEMANDS A NAVY.
Asks an Appropriation of over 800,
coo for New Vessels.

COO for New Vessels.
Berlin, Nov. 30.-The parliamentary
session of the reichstag was opened to-
day. The emperor conducted the open
ing in person, reading the speech from
the throne himself instead of deputizing
the chancellor to read it in the chamber
as is customary. The ceremony took
place in the White hall of the Schloss
at noon. After reading the formal
speech the kaiser made another speech
in which he recalled how he had sworn
and resworn to maintain the greatness
of the Fatherland. The emperor also
called attention to the naval bill which
will be submitted to the reichstag. This
measure, he said, was important in view
Of the recent occurrences in China. His
own brother, Prince Henry of Prussia,
had been designated to command the
German squadron about to sail for Kaio
Chau Bay to reinforce the German fleet
in Chinese waters, so important did he
regard the matter.
The emperor's speech was chiefly de-
voted to naval matters. The kaiser de-
clared that the German navy was not
equal to its mission and did not suffice
to afford security to the home ports and
coasts in the event of blockade. He
also said that the German trade was in
creasingly sharing the markets of the
world, but Germany's warships We're
not sufficient to protect their country
men abroad by giving them the support
which by display of power only could
be secured. The emperor said he did
not wish to vie with the maritime pow
ers of the first rank but that Germany
must be able to maintain her prestige.
The kaiser also referred to- the bill
which the government will introduce de
! signed to improve the steamship con.
nections of Germany with the ports OF
| Eastern Asia and for the establishment
Of an economic committee for the prep.
aration of new commercial treaties He
declared that steps had been taker
against China for the purpose of obtain.
! ing compensation for outrages and tt
secure the certainty that there would
| be no further murders of Germans.
| There was no cheering at the conclu.
sion of the imperial speech. The depu
ties present merely bowed their ac.
acknowledgements of the address.
