.COL BURPEE TALKS
Not Troubled in the Least About
 Injunction Case.
FOOD FOR THOUGHT AND FEES

For q Lawyer Who Watches the Dos
 ings of the Board of Public Safety
 Cited Cases Where Money Has Been
 Illegally Paid for Damages He
 Questions the Point Raised as to
 Whether Alderman Walker Had a
 Right to Vote for His Own Interesu
 or Not.
 Colonel Burpee, counsel for Alder man Robert and Alice Walker, who were awarded $S9S for dam ages to their property. and which has been tied up by an injunction, said this morning that he could not say when there will be hearing upon the matter, nor when he will ask for one. He said there was no hurry; 10 one was hurt by the injunction, but that meanwhile the sum claimed will be earning intere>t for his clients. Any lawyer said the colonel, with tie complacency of maH wlo thorough ly understands what he is talking about, '.Who cares to involve the cltyN in trouble. may easily do so by watch ing the actions of the board Of public safety. There is food for thought and q good many fees in the public actions of that body" said the colonel, "DAC who should pay. them is another matt ter. Theuuestion is merely one of en- tering law suits against the city. Tn my judgment there is a better chance of winning out i'll transaction recent ly performed by the board of safetN than there is in this injunction Inat- ter. It is not so very long ago thau the board of public safety voted to award some man damages because one of the fire wagons ran into his team. The issue involved is not the amount awarded, but the principle of the thing. It was illegal for the board to make any such award, and therefore. illegal also for the city to pay it. This matter has been determined by the courts. Some time ago, in New lIa- ven, fire wagon ran into and Knocked down a man, injuring him to some eN- tent He was awarded damages by the board of safety of that city. or whatever branch of the municipality that takes care of the fire department. Someone had an injunction served upon the city restraining it from paying the award to the man and the ease was de- cided ill favor of the city on the grounds that the city maintains the fire department for the public good and therefore could not be sued. Upon the very same grounds the defense i'll the case of Colwell against the city is based. The City i'll this case was en- gagged in governmental work when the. accident to Colwell took place. The city was engaged in protecting the plib- lie from the fire when one of its fire wagons knocked into this mans team. But in the Walker injunction case it is different, though the principle in- volved is much the same. The statutes protect the Walkers, but in the case of the man who was knocked down bY the New Haven fire department they did not. It is very singular. or rather lit would be very singular,why it should Dc illegal for an alderman to vote for his own interests and be legal to vote for other peoples interests. That Is the contention ill the injunction res straining the city from paying tho Walkers the award the board of alder-l men voted them for damages to tleir property"

 Hartford Policy Ring" Said to Have
 Agents in Leading Cities of State.
 Meriden. Nov 14.-For q week or more the police have had their eyes peeled on Room 19 in the old ByXbee block. Wednesday afternoon, about , o'clock, Captaln Landrigan and Lieu tenant Bowen, armed with warrants, swooped down on the place and sue ceeded ill making a haul that will probably put stop to the policy play ing business in Meriden for while, at least.
 lnside-they had no trouble i'll effect ing an. entrance-they found every thing. even the men ''wid de goods on," which is a copyrighted expression of Chief Devery, New York sage to whom credit is hereby given.
 George Hayes, who has been up against. the police on one or two other occasions for similar offenses, and I man who gave his name as Edward Plouf, who is Hayes's assistant, were found inside at work with the para phernalia, all of which the police off cers confscated.
 The complete outfit, stencils. stamps, policy slips. blanks and even the books, in fact, everything that goes to fit out q joint of the kind, was found and taken.
 The two men were taken completely by surprise and were conveyed to the police station. There bonds Of S1O0 were furnished by John Buechler for their appearance in court this morning. It was, said last night that the men were trying to settle the case before it was called for trial this morning.
 Hayes, the police claim, used to make his Headquarters in the old Da- vid Hayes place on West Main street, although he is not . relative of Dave. For some time he has been operating the place in Byxbee block. and the DO lice becoming aware of the fact, bided their time until the opportunity for a good job was favorable and then they struck-and struck hard
 It is claimed that Hayes is but an agent of 2 gigantic policy ring that has it's headquarters in Hartford. This ring so called because it en- braces q circuit of the leading cities of the state, has q salaried agent in each of the cities it is working, who is also paid q commission on the amount of business he does. The bus mess in Meriden, the police say, was over $50 day.

Expel Member Who Arranged Meeting
 at Which Breckenridge Spoke.
 Lexington, Ky, Nov 14.-After tur- bulent meeting yesterday the Kentucky Federation of Labor adopted resolu- tions which denounce ex-Congressman Breckenridge for sentiments expressed last night: expelled F. c. Leaning, yiee-president of the Federation. and president of the local Typographical union. who arranged the meeting and presided, from the Federation and con yention, and call another meeting for tonight, at which the views of the dis satisfied delegates may be expressed publicly.
 Colonel Breckinridge's speech was considered courteous and in the view of supplementary welcome to that or the mayor. He said that he was the friend of labor organizations and that he heartily favored the organization of labor. but he thought it's battles should be fought with reason and not with force, and the day of strikes was over. citing as criticism the big steel strike at the same time. He said further that he did not believe it conducive to the best interests of labor, but unjust of the unions to demand that only such men as they chose be. employed by employers and only union men be all lowed 10 work.

ONLY CHEW OBTAINED.
Man Who Kept Company With Mrs
 Railey of Jealous Disposition.

Man Who Kept Company With Mrs
 Railey of Jealous Disposition.
 Evansville. Ind, Nov 14-It is now announced that the only clew so far found in connection with the murder mystery here that gives ground for any hope of clearing up the affair tends to bring under suspicion a man who for several years has kept com pany with Mrs Railey. Friends of the woman told the police that this man had shown q jealous disposition and had gone so far as to send her letters threatening her with death if she re- ceiyed the attentions of any other man. Interest in this line of inyesti- gation is increased by the fact that some time Monday night q strange man went to the railway house in Clark street, during the absence of the woman, and destroyed all the letters in her possession. All the livery sta bles have been visited by officers, and it developed that the buggy in which the Railey woman went riding with her companion was not hired from any of them, but was the property of a friend of the man suspected The suspect has not yet been placed under arrest. The internal organs of Miss Lena Renner, the other woman found murdered on the outskirts of the city, have been examined by the coroner and physicians. Traces of morphine were discovered, although not in quan- titles sufficient to cause death This leads the police 10 believe that the woman was drugged by the murderer and that after the victim became un- conscious he choked her to death
 At the funeral of Mrs Railey hun dreds of people crowded the cemetery.

THE MORMON FAITH
Is Making Rapid Headway in
 the Country.
SIXTY MISSIONARIES WORKING

At Present in York State-The Danger
 of aIormonism is Underrated, Says
 Elizabeth E. yermilye-She Says if
 Law Making Polygamy Crime Is
 Not Passed Now It Will Soon Be
 Impossible to Do So. Mormonism Is
 Growing So Rapidly.
 New York, Nov 14-''The danger of s1ormOnism is underrated, not over rated. When the public realizes that there are two Mormon churches III Brooklyn. one ill Manhattan. one i'll Philadelphia, a strong and growihg Mormon sentiment on the borders or PennsyIvania and New Jersey, and that the strongest church in section Iifty miles from Jersey City is Mormon, it may be understood that the situation is menacing."
 This statement was made to the Wo- mems executive committee of the De- mestic Missions of the Reformed church at it's eighteenth anniversary in this city. by Miss Elizabeth E. Yer n1ilye. a member of the committee, m an address upon Mormonism in the east. Miss Vermilye said further:
 It was predicted that in fifty years the Mormons would control T belt oT states, cutting the country in two from northeast to southwest. The predic- tion has been verified i'll twenty years Instead of fifty. They own land from the Rocky mountains to the Sierras. and are spreading east as have told you. They control four western states. and at their present rate of progression 1n a number of others will soon have supremacy in them. If the consti+u- tiona1 amendment making polygamy q crime is not passed now it soon will be impossible to pass it. 9 they need to acquire control only in twelve states to prevent legislation against them. Two thousand Mormon missionaries are actively pursuing their propaganda work. sixty of them in the state Of New York alone"

Great sbortawe of Cars.

CHICAGO, Nov. IA The Record Herald says that between 15,000 and 10000 freight cars are needed for im- mediate use by the railroads centering in Chicago. Not since 1886 has the freight car shortage been so great as at present. Not day passes that the railroads do not refuse large amounts of tonnage because of their inability to obtain cars in which to haul the freight. Orders have been issued by every line here prohibiting cars from going off their own lines, and every effort is being made to have cars un- loaded at destination with the least possible delay.
