Interesting Address by Kellogg Dur
 land on Child Labor Question-Miss
 Roberts Singing the Musical Event of
 the Evening.
 The usual large attendance at the Hyperion last evening heard an excel lent address on the child labor question of Pennsylvania by man who is par ticularly fitted, by his experience, to deal with the subject. This man was Kellogg Durland, friend of John Mitch ell, a social settlement worker, a Har- ward man and an earliest student of so ciai questions. Mir. Durland has just returned from Pennsylvania, where he has ben in consultation with MT. Mitch ell regarding the labor legislation it is proposed to enact to ameliorate the con- dition of the miners in the anthracite regions.
 MT. Durland is man who has taken a keen interest in social questions, and is recognized as an authority on such subjects. He has not only studied in the universities of this country and abroad, but has been connected with the social settlements in this city, and when in Scotland worked in the mines in order to get a clearer insight into the character of these men and the nature of their work.
 Mr. Durland's remarks were interest ing and forecful, and substantially as follows:
 '"The child labor situation is terrible to a degree. The workmen are com pelled to send their children to the night factories to help support the fam fly. The homes are heavily mortgaged. Necessities are high, wages low. The children range from twelve to fourteen. Many are younger The night work is a terrible strain on these little things. At intervals they are allowed to run out into the open air, the theory being that they will return to their work with add ed strength and vigor. Very often men worse than tiends turk in the bushes and outskirts of the factories. The out rages that have been perpetrated are too horrible to relate. The factories are run in direct opposition to the laws of Pennsylvania. The laws forbid oWner- ship of railroads and mines by the samN corporation. Discrimination in freight G1LeS IS IOrDiuuGI. IJOll lct Wo uIC ploh" en right and left. The legislature is under the influence of the big mine owners. Highway robbery is the only name that will describe it, unless one wishes to be over-polite."
 The musical numbers of the evening were of particular merit. The soloist was Miss Roberts, of Meriden, a con- tralto of very fine ability, Her solos denoted great technique as well as del icate sympathy. Her voice is of an eX- quisite timbre. Her second solo, Be hold I Stand at the Gates and Knock, '' was strikingly illustrative of her artis- tic temperament. The rendition beto- kened much careful study and train- ing.
 MT. Irving at the close of the speak ing drew comparison of the young girls situation in these Pennsylvania factories and the young cash girls of the big department stores who work till late Saturday nights. He called upon the people to do their shopping before these late hours. The evening closed with the benediction by MT. Irvine,

Delivered Address Before Yale \. A.
 Last Evening on Need of Energetic
 College Men in City Politics.
 James B. Reynolds. formerly of North Haven, secretary to Mayor Low, of New York city, delivered an address at the usual Sunday evening meeting of the Yale Y. M. c. A. at Dwight hall last evening. He addressed himself special ly to Yale men. and college men gener- ally. who are thinking of going into pol itics in the large cities. By way of in troduction he spoke of the extension of the scope of city governments in the past ten years. He said that when he went to New York ten years ago he be-
 came a member of local school board ill one of the precincts and they asked to be allowed to give lectures nights in the school buildings. and the board of education refused on the ground that school buildings were for recitations only. MT. Reynolds said this is all changed. Now there were night schools, a lecture bureau, gymnasiums, play grounds roof gardens and public libra ries connected with the schools. In other functions of city g0vernment there has been an extension of the
 scope of city governments in the last ten years This shows the great need that the best brains and the men of best character should interest them selves in political life. There is not q city in this country which cannot point to period of fraud and corruption on the part of some of its officials. This is true not only of this country, but of the
 world at large. Of some cities this is true nearly all the time.
 Mir Reynolds then spoke of the cor | ruptiOn that had existed in Tammany Hall, and said it was not a political but a business affair. It was the business of the Tammany leaders to line their pockets. Proceeding, MT. Reynolds said that in the large cities the better class of people were able to escape from the consequences of corrupt government, | but the hand of corrupt government lies l heavily on the poor. In place of com munity of foreigners on our shores who might be filled with hope and confidence
 we find a community depressed and de- prayed, and it is to better this condition of affairs that Mr Reynolds urged that
 energetic college men should enter pol i itics in the great cities.

AGED WEST HAVEN MAN
Struck by New York Express and In-
 stantly Killed.


 stantly Killed
 Carrying in his hand some flowers which he was going to place upon his wife's grave in the Oak Grove ceme- tery Leman G. Atwood was struck by the Boston express just west of the West Haven railroad station at 4:45 o'clock Saturday afternoon and in- stantly killed. His body was fright fully mangled and it was a difficult task afterward to identify the man. Atwood was a farmer and resided at 5SS Elm street, West Haven, nearly railroad. He was deaf and probably not aware of the danger. He had made it a practice to climb the embankment in front of his home when going to the cemetery and walk along the tracks until he came to the Campbell avenue railraOd bridge and at that point cross the tracks and descend up- on Campbell avenue. He was struck by the Shore Line express from New York which is due in this city at 4:50 o'clock. Atwood stepped across the rails directly ahead of the locomotive and his body was thrown fifty feet in the air, After the express passed the horribly mutilated remains were found scattered over the roadbed. They were picked up and taken to Lewis & May cocks undertaking rooms.
 Dr. James F. Barnett, medical exam- iner, concluded that the man was kill ed through his own carelessness. Years ago Mr Atwood was a prominent real estate dealer but for some years re-

QUALIFIED TO CIVILIZE,

Where, for instance, did we become qualified to protect the law abiding
 from ladrones and assassins? Was it in
 Breathitt County, Ky, where in total
 population of 10000, they had over forty
 cowardly murders within two years,
 and where the eye-wtnesses of killing
 dare not testify against the criminals
 for fear of experiencing what they have
 seen? Or in South Carolina, whose late Lieutenant-Governor is under indict- ment for the assa assination of defence less man?
 Where did we quality for the task of teaching others to handle funds belong ing to others without enriching them selves? Perhaps it was in Michigan, where the last of ten indictments for bribery and fraud in connection with governmental transactions have just been disposed of by the circuit court of the county in which the capital is located. Was it up in St. Louis, where a dozen or more. city officials have re- gently been sent to the penitentlary for selling the rights and interests of the city to conscienceless boodlers, or in the surrounding State of Missouri, whose Lieutenant-Go Governor has just confessed to distributing $5,000 of bribe money, or so much of it as did not stick to his own fingers? Or was it in Minneapolis, whose police officials have graduated from the force to the States prison ? Or was it in Pittsburgh, where citzen- ship, grateful for God konWs what, is about erecting monument to a politi- cal boss who robbed it of public franch- ises worth untold millions of dollars, and persistently let it's public contracts { at prices double, and more than double, those which responsible contractors were ready to accept?
 Was it in Pennsylvania that we &C., i quired teaching knowledge of the art ! of administering public trusts in the public interest-by continued experi- | ment with the opposite course-or was | it at Washington, where the chosen and l sworn representatives of the people per- init every industry that contributes to

MORNING FREIGHT DELAYED SIX
HOURS.
CARS TURN UPSIDE DOWN
Three Flop Completely Overcome
Travelling Man Walks II Miles to
Madison and Beats the Train by
Goodly Distance-Rigid Axle to
Blame.
Madison. June s


The mixed train On the Illinois Cen
trail due here at 10:40 a. m. did not
reach Madison yesterday until $3.50 in
the evening While coming down the
grade at Schultz siding, three miles
south of Monticello, three freight cars
side up. What is known among train
men as a rigid axle was the cause of
the wreck.
The car was a new one and the axle
had not yet acquired the faculty of
adapting itself to the sharp curves of
that part Of the line. so it adopted the
tactics of a disgruntled politician and
bolted. No one was injured, but the
passengers received quite a shaking
up and the track was badly democrat
lied for quite distance, as the train
was running about % miles per hour.
The accident put a number Of people
to great inconvenience who were COM
ing to Madison and nearly all aban-
doned the trip.
A travelling man, who was waiting
at Belleville for the train, walked up
to Madison, about IL miles, being
somewhat in a hurry. After reach
ing here he telephoned the agent as to
to Madison, about II miles, being
rather solicitous in regard to the time
he had gained by his effort. He rested
easier when he found out that he was
here first and had lap to spare.

Smith of Baltimore to defraud the

pouches furnished rural carriers
throughout the country. Other ar
rests are expected later.
According to a statement of Assist
ant Postmaster General Bristow, Nc
Gregory and Upton agreed with Smith
to obtain for him an order for many
thousands of the leather pouches, such
as are used by the rural letter
carriers. The price agreed upon was
80 cents a pouch; the actual value is
less than so cents. Smith was to pay
to them the difference between 80 and
so cents per pouch. 1t is stated at the
department the actual number of
pouches purchased is over 10000 for
which the government paid 80 cents
ee h, of $4,000 in all.
Smith, it is alleged, received and
retained of this for his own use
$4,000. The remaining $4,000, it is
stated, was paid to McGregory and Up
ton. The government could have
bought this number of pouches from
the manufacturer for $4,000.
McGregory has been in the postal
service since 1890 He came here
from Nebraska as a messenger and
was subsequently promoted to a clerk

Machen, in charge of the supply rural
