UMPIRE QUESTION SETTLED.

At a Meeting of the State League Di-
rectors Last Night.
A meeting of the directors of the
State league was held last night in the
Hotel Garde and some important ques-
tons were disposed of. Jerry Denny of
the Derby club was absent, being kept
away by the sickness Of one Of his chill
dren.
The umpire question which has trou-
bled the league directors ever since the
season opened was discussed at length
and it is thought that by the measures
adopted at last nights meeting all the
cities In the league will be greatly bene-
fitted In that line.
Time and again there has been kick
ing along the circuit on account of two
or three officials and often dsgraceful
incidents have taken place on the field
due from nothing but decisions of the
unpires. To remedy this evil the meet
ing was called last night
After discussing numerous methods
which would straighten the situation,
it was finally voted to appoint Mr..
Canavan, of the New Haven team, a
committee to secure new umpires for
possibly be secured are Toby Lyons of
Boston, a former New England league
official and a competent person for the
position; Thos, Connolly, an ex-National
league umpire, and Mr. Crea of Holyoke
who was on the State league staff last
year, Mr. Malone, who resigned from
the staff at the opening of the season,
will be asked to accept place UNI
pires Dave" Hill and Morrisey will be
retained and 1t is reasonably certain
that Mr. Malone and Mr.. Best will also
hold the indicator during the remainder
of the season.
The question of the umpires fees
caused another discussion. 1t will be re-
membered that Mr.. Snyder, who off,
ciated so successfully a few times in
this city, refused to offlciate because a
raise of two dollars over the regular SIS
fee was not granted him. The other
umpireS have been complaining some
this season and say that after their
mileage is paid to the league cities there
is not enough left out of the SIS to buy
a meal. So ii was voted last night to-
have the league pay the mieague of
the umpires. besides giving them IS a
game.
1t was also voted that if any club
should forfeit game under any cir
cumstances whatever that club shall be
obliged to pay a fine of S1OO to the
league.

mittees were appointed last night to
arouse interest in the conclaves of the
state in the outing at which number
of supreme officers will be present.
Word was received at last nights

formerly of this city, high in the coun-

COL. PETIT NOT GUILTY
ACQUITTED BY Il COUR7MARTIAL
At lTAfIL4.
The Charges Brought Against Him No
Provan-The Attitude of His Lieu.
CoIoneI--COIonei Petit Was Formerly
Military Instructor at Yale.

WASHINGTON, July 6.-Colonel James
S. Petit, formerly instructor of mill
tary tactics at Yale university and a
we'll known man in military circles
throughout the country, has been &C
quilted by a court martial held at Ma
Mia of charges brought against him
several months ago. The charges al
legged infringement of the articles OF
war and the turning over for trial of
native brigand to native officials, who
murdered him as soon as Colonel Petit
departed. The case has gained consid-
cradle notoriety through the interviews
given out by the lieutenant colonel Of
Colonel Pettit's regiment, the Thirty
first u. S. V. The lieutenant colonel
took a stand decidedly antagonistic to
his colonel until very recently when he
issued a statement giving great praise
to Colonel Pettit's conduct in general
His first attitude, it has been declared
by some, was due to i'll feeling based
upon false grounds, and this, it is point
ed out, is borne out by his resignation
from the regiment and return to the
Urited States.

FAVORED PUBLIC WHARvEs.
III Who Appeared Before the Special
~ NinlI

All Who Appeared Before the Special
Committee Last Night,
The special committee appointed to
consider the petition for the establish
ment of public wharves on the harbor
| front held meeting last night in room
10 and II city hall. public hearing
on the petition was given and num-
Der of citizens appeared, all who APP
peared being in favor of establishing
public wharves. 1t was suggested to
the committee that wharves be built
at the waterside of Water street park,
and the opinion was expressed that the
cost of a wharf would not exceed $4,000
or $4,000
Among those who appeared was An
| thony Carroll, who favored extending
all the streets extending shoreWards to
the water line, thus enabling the city to
establish a wharf at the end of each of
such streets
Ex-Alderman Chillingworth agreed
with Mr. Carroll He said that in 1906
the harbor flats property was decided to
Isaac Tomlinson in consideration of his
building and maintaining the causeway
and bridge now known at TomGnson
bridge. In 1911 this action was ratified
by the legislature. The bridge was
built and he said that later it was I'M
loaded upon the city, the city paying
| for it. Continuing, Mr. Chillingworth
said that men employed by corpora
lions had served on the harbor com
mission and the result was that all the
harbor front not disposed of to Tomlin-
son had been given to corporations. He
| thought part of the water front Of
Water street park might be used for
wharf without greatly affecting the use
fulness of the park.
Others who appeared in favor of the
public wharves movement were e. II.
| Smith, eX-Alderman Donovan, Alder
| man Walsh, Mr.. Potter, Mr. Morrison
and William O'Keefe.
| The committee will hold subsequent
| meeting to decide upon recommended
| ton to be made in regard to the mat
| ter.

A CALIFORNIAN'S
Successful Experiments with Food

A gentleman in Oak Park, Califor-
mia, Henry Pockman, took up the ques-
ton of food, to see if he could recover
from an old case of dyspepsia, from
which nux vomica. pepsin, and other
remedies gave him no relief.
He started in with Grape-Nuts break
fast food and his dyspepsia quickly dis
appeared. He also left off the use of
coffee and took Postum Food Coffee in
it's place He writes that he has been
put right, perfectly we'll and going to
remain so by continuing the use of the
Grape Nuts food and Postum Coffee.
1t is worth anyones trial who desires
to be well, to change the diet, and par
ticularly to leave off coffee. Grape
Nuts food contains elements that re-
build the grey matter in the nerve CEN
ters and brain and give one feeling of
reserve strength and vigor. This food
is perfectly cooked at the factory, can
be served instantly. and is on sale at
all first-class groeers.

CHAPEL STREET DRAWBRIDGE.


More Trouble Concerning 1t Now Looms
Up-Draw TO Remain Open
AT noon to-day the Chapel street
drawbridge will be opened and remain
open. according to the present inten-
lions of the director of public works
until the difficulties met with in the OPP
Grafton of the bridge are remedied by
the Berlin Iron Bridge company or I'M
til a satisfactory settlement OF the
bridge matter is reached by the direc-
tor and the company. The bride does
not work satisfactorily but the bridge
company has notified the director that
the company's man who has been In
charge of the draw since the bridge
was completed would be withdrawn to-
day.
The bridge has not yet been accepted
by the city, since 1t does not work sat
isfactorily, The company claims that
the bridge follows exactly the specifica-
lions of the city's engineering depart
ment, and that any imperfections which
exist are due to faults in those specifi-
cations, and not to any fault in con-
struction.
The government regulations require
that the bridge shall be opened for ves-
sells and consequently when the COM
pany's tender leaves to-day he will be
REQUIRED by the director to leave the
draw open. The director will not place
q tender in charge of the bridge until
the difficulties in its operation are re-
moved since in the opinion of the city's
legal adviser, this would amount to the
acceptance of the bridge.
Some Inconvenience will be caused to
patrons of the East Chapel street troll
ley line, but the Fair Haven and West
vile Railroad company will arrange
transfers at that point as conveniently
as possible under the circumstances.
