Connecticut Democrats, After a
Fight in Committee, ignore
Kansas City Platform.
NV Associated Press:1

NEW HAVEN, CONN, September %
The Democratic State Convention adj
journed at SIS tonight after a session
lasting all day. a full State ticket
was nominated, and a platform was
adopted, and the convention which had
promised to be one OF the most bittsr
in the history Of the party in this State.
closed in harmony. Melbert 3. Cary,
Ridgevlle, was nominated for Governor.
The platform occasioned heated de-
bate in the committee room, but once
presented to the convention as recon-
mended by the comrlitte, it was adopted
without debate. A strenuous struggle
had been made in committee for endorse
ment of the Kansas City platform, and
one delegate left the committee in an
ger because his views are not those of
the ma ority. The committee refused to
mention the Kansas City document, and
the fight practically ended there.
A later effort of the Kansas City plat
form supporters to get the matter before
the convention were cleverly smothered
and it was not heard from again. The
platform reaffirms allegiance to the Dem
ocracy of the nation. and reasserts faith
in its principles. It declares that the
prices of necessities of life have been
raised through Illegal combinations fos-
tered by Republican legislation, and de-
mands the repeal of all tariff on trust

SUIT FOR SANDWICHES
They Were Fed to the Soldiers During
Street Car Strike.
Especial Dispatch to The Times

Especial Dispatch to The Times.)
NORFOLK, VA. Sept. 25.-Notice OF a
suit has been filed in the clerks office BY
j. L. Culpepper against the Norfolk Rail
way and Light Company for s., 3364. So 50.
The notice Is statement that on No
vember 10th in the Court of Law and
Chancery judgment will be asked for
that sum with six per cent interest from
March 7, 1902. The statement continues
that the sum asked for represents sup
plies furnished to the soldiers employed
during the railway strike in Starch at
the request of the company, and on the
agreement OF the company to pay.
The statement is signed by j. F. Cul-
pepper and George Mcintosh. attorney.
j. L. Culpepper keeps a restaurant near
the car barns on Church Street.
Attached to the statement is an Item
lied account in three items as follows:
March 8. for 1.i6I meal tickets. 731 coffee
tickets furnished to soldies. s!D41o; March
8. for sandwiches. a.4ss cups of coffee,
S.253 steaks 1857 pies, sausases, eggs.
cigars, tobacco and beans. S1,S3110: March
I. for sandwiches, coffee, steaks, etc,
s1,129.15. These items made 4 total of
5,36+.s5 on which a payment OF $1,000 Is
credited leaving balance OF the amount
sued for s2,S64.a5.
J. F. Culpepper makes affidavit to the
correctness OF the account, and declares
that the Norfolk Railway and Light Com
pany is indebted to him in that amount
with interest from March I, 1902
The suit seems to have been brought
by making a motion for judgment be-
cause it is equally expeditions and less
expensive than the usual manner of i'll
ing a suit in the Court Of Law and Chan
Gerry and because it prevents the public
ity of the usual suit: that is. the record
is made Immediately and the newspapers
do not obtain the same access to it for
publication.
The notice of the motion was served
on Walter II. Doyle, president OF the
Citizens Bank. who is the treasurer OF
the company. 9tr. Doyle smiled when the
reporter for The Times asked him to ex-
plain the cause of the suit. He said he
is treasurer of the company. but he does
no work and gets no salary. Hence he
nkows little about the details of the
business
He agreed. however. that the presump-
ton of the reporter that 1t. is disputed

we're employed during about two weeks
