Base Ball
 and Clam BakeS

For years have been failures in Water bury; and why? Because they are not run right. Take base ball this season right here in the city of brass; the club has the right material and they can play as good game as any club Ill Connecticut; but they don't, and why It may be because they do not drlnk gooR tea and coffee (the kind we sell)' it may be they don't like their man. ager, or it may be they have forgotten how to play on account of shirklng so long. Of course, we are not on the in side and do not know just why. But clambakes have never been run right. You will sit down to an elegant spread of all the delicacies of the season, but when you want to quench your thirst and call for cup of good Tea or COT fee you get left; you must take Wha. they have on hand, such as ginger ale, soda water, root beer, birch beer, old time s'pop," etc. but no tea or coffee. Isn't it a shame? Yes, it's a crying shame that the best, purest and most beneficial drink known should be 1g- nored at the claInbake. We hope to hear of tea and coffee being served at the bakes in the future, and if the kind we sell is served your physical condi- ton will improve wonderfully after each 'bake."

DEsERTERs TO THE ENEMY
Two ENLISTED Men in Philippines sen-
fenced to Hang for Abet-
ting Insurgents.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-Two soldiers
undoubtedly were hanged in the Philip
pines today in execution of sentences Inn
they werestried and convicted of deserving
to the enemy. Their names were Edmond
A. Dubose and Lewis Russell and both
weresattached to Company e of the Ninth
cavalry, a negro regiment.
While their company was operating
against the insurgents in the province ef
Albay In August last the two men deserted
and were afterward discovered serving In
the ranks of the enemy.
The military commission before which
they were tried sat at Guinobatan. in the
province Of Albay. They were found
guilty of the charge and each was SEN
fenced to be hanged Friday. February Z.
The findings and sentences were approved
by General Chaffee.
In view of the fact, however, that this
was the first case where the commanding
general had directed the execution Of the
sentence Of death against an enlisted man
without reference to the War department.
the case was laid before President Roose-
welt in time to prevent the execution In
case he desired to do SO.
The president. after consultation with the
secretary of war, declined to interfere,
and a cable message to this effect was sent
to General Chaffee Wednesday. Although
no information to that effect has been re-
ceived, II is assumed at the War DEPART
ment that the sentence of death was car
ried into effect today.

OPPOSES EDUCATIONAL TEsT
Assistant Secretary OF Treasury
Taylor CriticIses Features Of
Immigration Law.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 7.-Assistant secre-
tary Taylor Of the Treasury department
was before the house committee on i'm
migration in reference to the bill Of Rep
resentative Shattuc Of Ohio, codlfying and
extending the immigration laws. Mr.. Tay-
Tor disapproved the provision allowing the
immigration. commission to hx regulations
and make certain appointments, as such
authority was said to belong to the seere-
tary OF the treasury. He said the present
head tax Of 81 was SUFFICIENT and yielded
a surplus.
AS to the proposed education test Mr..
Taylor pointed out that many of the best
settlers In the west we're without educa-
tional qualifications, and that the crimi-
nal class was usually able to pass an edu-
cational test.
Chairman Shattuc expressed emphatic
dissent to some of Mr.. Taylor's views.
When the latter suggested that the pro-
vision as TO the powers Of the immigration
commissioner should not violate precedent
and should not be shaped to meet the
views Of both branches Of congress and Of
the treasury. Mr.. Shattuc said when con-
siderable asperity. that the committee
would act on its best judgment and with
out seeking to meet outside views. Mr..

The judiciary committee Of the house
today reported favorably the bill for a
national bureau Of criminal identification
in Washington as advocated by the police
chiefs of the country. The division is to
keep & record by photographs, measure
ments, descriptions, etc., Of criminals
throughout the country and this material
is to be available TO police authorities
for the detection OF criminals. Before re-
porting the bill the committee was advised
that urfavorable action recently taken by
a senate committee was due to a mis-
apprehension that the attorney general OPP
posed the measure and that as there was
no such opposition the bill would not be
favorably reported in both houses.
The movement for strong federal ~restric-
ton OF polygamy by means OF an amend

Experiments wiz Tell.

The committee on interoceanic canals
held an afternoon session. during which
Senator Morgan questioned Admiral Walker
concerning the difficulties of constructing
the canal by the Panama route. He asked
especially about the effect OF the water
discharge through the s~pillway from the
artificial lake to be made by the construc-
tion OF the Bohia dam.
In response, Admiral Walker said he
thought 1t possible that the water would
find its way back into the canal, but he
did not seem inclined to think that the
canal would be injured by Il IL 1t did. He
also said In reply 20 a question that SO
far as he knew. nc experiments. beyond a
few borings. had been made to ascertain
whether a secure foundation could be OBJ
tanned for the proposed pier at the dam,
but he believed that by the use of cement
It would be possible to get q good founda-
ton.
Admiral Walker will continue his testi-
mony before the committee tomorrow.

WOULD USE CHlCRES RIVER
DIFFICULTY is TO conTsSL THE STREAM
Declares II Would ne Necessary TO
sink Foundation of Piers One
Hundred and Twenty-Five
Feet Below Sea.

WASHINGTON, Feb. admiral John @.
Walker. chairman Of the isthmian canal
commission, testified before the senate COM
mittee on interoceauic canals today. In
reply to numerous questions he explained
the reasons for the recent recommendation
for the acceptance Of the offer from the
Panama Canal company.
Senator Harris questioned the admiral
especially with reference to the difficulty
OF ~excavating for the Dohio dam, develop
ing the fact that II would be necessary to
sink the piers to a greater depth than had
ever been done for such a purpose.
The foundation Of the pier will be 1f5
feet below sea level, and the witness said
there we're differences of opinion as to the
atmospheric pressure end the possibility OF
seepase at this depth in that Innate.
Admiral Walker also was questioned con-
corning the possibility OF utilizing tho
Chagres river as a part Of the canal. He
admitted that It is a torrental stream, but
expressed the opinion that It could be
safely confined.
With reference to the stimate that ten
years would be necessary to build the
Panama canal, while eight years would
sufice for the construction Of the canal by
the Nicaragua route, he said that the differ
ence against the Panama route was due
largely to the extent OF the great Culebrs
cut and the Bohio dam. +,
He thought that in ordinary weather
steam vessels would be able to make their
way through the Panama CANA without
being towed, but that towage might be
necessary when the winds are high.
He expressed the opinion that Brito har-
Dor at the Pacific end Of the Nicaragua
route would possess an advantage over the
Panama harbor. In that vessels would be
Immediately able to avail themselves in
the former Of the trade winds. while in
Panama bay they would not secure this
advantage until lowed out to sea. He
thought that good harbors could be cheaply
secured at the western terminals OF both
routes.
