LITTLE WEST HAVEN GIRL
Left in Christian Scientists Hands and
 n;aS

Left in Christian Scientists Hands and
 Dies.
 The death of little Gladys Northrop, daughter of MT. and Mrs. Clarence Northrop, of 20S Main street, West Ha- ven, has been investigated by Medical Examiner Barnett, of West Haven, and Acting Coroner Pond, of this city, and the conclusion reached by both is that the girls death was due to a lack of proper medical treatment. It is assert ed that when the child was taken sick about two weeks ago with cholera in fantum the services of Christian Sci enlist were secured and the life of the child was put in her hands. The name of the Christian Scientist is Mrs. Libbie Allen, of 1C5 Bristol street. this city, and | instead of curing the child it grew rap- idly worse and died Tuesday night. 1 Dr. Barnett notified MT. Pond yester- day and the latter carried on an inves- | tigation in his office. Mrs. Allen was summoned and the hearing was thor ough one. She was criticised sharply by the acting coroner for the Urea tment of the child and was finally discharged. The coroner consulted with Dr. Barnett and decided to continue the investiga- l tion until every fact is known. MT. Pond said last night that he did not in- l tend to arrest any one yet, though he said he would if the investigation war ranted it.
 The Northrop girl died in eonvulsions. There is considerable indignation in West Haven over the act of her parents in not calling regular doctor when the child's condition was seen to be so seri- | ous.

Of the Stock Market Letter of J. L. Mo-
 Lean & Co.

Lean & co.
 New York, July 16.-The market showed decided strength again to-day. and there was plenty of evidence that insiders were accommodating stocks Southern Pacific, St. Paul, Atchison, Brooklyn Rapid Transit and the United States Steel stocks were particularly strong and made sharp advances.
 Wall street, as usual, discounts com ing favorable developments, and it iss now beginning to discount this years large crops. Large crops mean large increases in railroad earnings for the next fiscal year. The country is so rich that, with a favorable harvest this year. production in every line of commodity will be rushed to it's full capacity.
 Another favorable development is the renewed sign of greater public interest," in the market. Leading commission houses are daily shipping large blocks of stocks to the country.
 All things considered, we feel more confident than ever that the market Is on the verge of big upward move ment. To those who bought Atchison,s Southern Pacific, Union Pacific and United States Steel on our recent ad- vices we urge to hold them for a fur-l ther advance, as the upward movements have only begun.
 Chicago markets: Grains were less active. but wheat remained steady; The avalanche of cash corn tfat.is com ing into the Chicago market now will undoubtedly have to be held over and delivered on later options so that, barr ring another speculative "corner," Sen-s tember can be sold short for large prof it's, but we advise holding wheat. .

ENDORSED

The Addicks County Committee has
refused the Republican profIer Of COM
mon primaries in this county. In this
connection the following from an edi-
torial in the Sun is not devoid Of in
terest.
The surest and safest course to har-
mony and prosperity would be to give
free, fair, open chance to all the
people to express their deliberate pref
erences at the ballot box, and then to
accept manfully and without abuse and
viliiioation. the representatives se5ec-
ted.
From the above we gather that the
sun favors an acceptance Of common
primaries for this county, and is not
in accord with its party in rejecting
the proner Of the Republicans. We
have been of the opinion that in the
course Of evolving specious argu
ments, the Sun would at last gsl
around to a position honest and sane

ABOUT COMMON PRIMARIES

The Addicks committee of New
Castle county has refused the Repubh-
can proposition for common primaries.
Should this determination be adhered
to it would mean Republican defeat in
this county. And what would the Ad-
dicks people gain? They could not
elect a single officer in this county.
Whatever hope Addicks may have Of
an election to the Senate, he must put
it aside absolutely if he decides TO pre-
vent his followers from accepting com
mon primaries.
The County Committee seeks to evade
responsibility by saying the matter is
in the hands of the Addicks State
Committee. In other words IL has alb
rogated its rights and responsibilities,
and refuses to perform the service for
which il was constituted This COM
mittee SAYS that the matter is out of
its hands. and in its reply it intimates
that nothing will be done unless the
two other counties agree to common
primaries. This seems to be an appli-
cation Of the unit rule with a ven
geance. Cannot the voters of New Cas-
tie county have common primaries, be-
cause the other counties Will not agree
TO similar arrangement? This means
that New Castle is TO be governed by
Kent and Sussex.
The majority of the voters are here
more than in Kent and Sussex com
bined. and it is a fine state of affairs
that denies them their right to act
INDEPENDENTLY of the other counties.
To refuse the voters this, would be a
violation Of the principle Of majority
rule. and would be allowing a small
minority to dictate to the party at
large. The power of calling
conventions and of making com
promises for the State ticket.
rests with the State committees
but each county must control its own
affairs. We imagine the staunch Re
puOiicans of New Castle will not be
satisfied if they are prevented from
uniting on a common ticket, because
such men as Alice and Layton want
their own chestnuts pulled out Of the
fire
There are Republicans and Union
Republicans in this county, but when
the test comes. we believe there will
ne found few who win endorse and
uphold a policy that has for its pur-
pose the qualification Of the seldshness
and spite Of an individual. There is
too much at stake; too many offices
for which men may honorably strive,
too great a calamity in store should
the county pass into Democratic hands.
NO. the voters of this county demand
common primaries, and common pri-
maries they will have.

OUR BoARD OF PAnDoNs

There has been a great deal OF com
ment recently in the press relative to
the conduct OF the Board of Pardons.
We do not believe any journal wishes
TO do an Injustice. and we feel certain
Dhat the board could read and ponder
these criticisms with profit, for in most
instances the papers are not speaking
simply for themselves, but are voicing
the sentiments Of a large constituency.
1t must be understood that the posi-
tion Of a member of this board is not
altogether a pleasant one, and the re-
sponsibility is very great. Each mem
Der to discharge his duties faithfully
must exercise the Judgment, caution
and impartiality of a judge of the
court. 1t has been said that too many
pardons have been grained. This, we
think is an unfortunate way of putting
il. The evil does not consist in their
number, but in their nature. If one
pardon is granted in a year without
sufficient cause. it is too many; and
on the contrary, there might be many
cases to be considered at one time. all
of thom meritorious. 1t would be un-
fortunate, indeed, if the matter should
be regulated by any preconceived idea
as to a certain number of cases where
.clemency should be extended. Each
case must be judged by dts merits.
lt is just to say that the board has
apparently served the purpose for
which it was created in numerous
cases. 1t did its duty the other day
when it recommended the commuta-
ton of the death sentence of Nehe-
miah Harmon to life Imprisonment.
and when it restored to another man
his citizenship. On the other hand.
the opinion is general, and we think,
correct, THAT in recommending the par
don of the murderer Cole it erred as
far as it was possible to err.
There are other petitions for pardons
pending, and pressure Of the strongest
nature is being brought to bear upon
the individual members for leniency.
In State Of this size, where every
one is widely known. a prisoner who
has been prominent in the community
can enlist in his cause hundreds who
are moved by personal sympathy. Con-
sequently the members of the board
are besieged by personal and political
friends. and it is hard to resist their
appeals. But this body, like the courts,
must distribute even-handed justice
without fear or favor To do other
wise would be a scandal and a dis
grace.

CANAL nlLL IN sENATE
Nr. Morgan Made Strong Appeal For
the Niearaaua Route.

tne nicaragua ROUTE.
Washington, June 5.-Discussion Of
the project of constructing an isthmian
canal was begun by the Senate yes
terday. Mr.. Morgan, of Alabama,
chairman of the committee on inter
oceanic canals, opened the debate,
speaking nearly three hours. A con-
siderable portion of his speech was
devoted to an examination of the
recently suggested danger to the Mica
ragua canal route OF seismic disturb
ances. This danger, he concluded, af.
ter a careful review Of many authori-
ties, existed only ia the imagination
Of those who desired to defeat any
canal project. His study Of the sit
uation had convinced him that really
there was greater danger from vol
canic and earthquake disturbances to
the Panama route than to the Nicara-
qua route; but he was satisfied that
little danger to either was to be an
ticipatec.
Mr. Morgan reviewed at length the
political conditions in Colombia find.
ing in them a grave menace to the
United States in the construction OF a
canal by the Panama route He pre-
sented also the present phases Of the
diplomatic negotiations looking to the
building of a canal by both the Nicara
qua route and by the Panama route
He closed with a strong appeal for the
passage OF the Nicaragua bill.
