NO POETRY IN LAW.
Judge Welch Said He Would Have to
 Deny the Motions

Judge .Welch of Torrington held short calendar in the district court to- day for the accommodation of Attor- ney Cole, who refused to try demur- Ter in the tax case of the city against Johanna Cahill before any of the local judges. This, is known as the three links'' case. The matter was argued this morning and decision reserved. Attorney Wood appeared in half doz- en motions by the Town Plot school district against T. D., Barlow, Clark D. Hitchcock, George D. Hinman ct al, Charles Maronie ct al, Nelson Norman and Giuseppe Calo. He asked for Judgment by default for failure to file the usual answers and the return of $15 costs he paid some time ago. It developed that the answers were filed, but illegally. Attorney Wood held this was equivalent to their not being dled. But the court held that MT Woods motion should be to erase the answers MT Wood replied that it was only poetic justice to get his money back, and Mir Bronson, counsel for the defendant, said that if 1t were poetic justice he would ask for costs. Judge Welch replied there was no por etry in law and that he would have to deny the motions. s1

 Colonel Lynch was pale and care worn, but he stood in the dock com posedly listening to the lengthy indict- ment. which occupied nearly an hour in reading.
 Drawing, quartering and beheading accompanied the death penalty for treason until 1870, when this was abol- ished. The death penalty, however, re- mains.

The union of bricklayers, masons and plasterers, No Is, held a meeting last evening, also, and voted to fine every member found riding during the strike on the cars $25 and to prevent him from working until the same is paid. Financial support was also voted the strike fund. A committee was ap, pointed to call upon Mayor Kilduff and invoke him to try to effect a settle ment.
 One of the trolley poles got loose on South Main street yesterday afternoon and banged against the side railing of the bridge over the Mad river with such force that people thought an ex- plosion had occurred. The pole was badly bent and battered and had to be replaced by a new one before starting on the return trip.
 An amateur photographer employed at Benedict x Burnham's factory had whole lot of sport with those em- ployes of the same factory who rode on the trolley cars yesterday. He took snap shots of the riders as they left the cars. So afraid were some of the riders to have their photos taken that they rode on the car as far as the Buckle shop and walked back to the Benedict & Burnham factory.
 At a regular meeting of Court Fall con, F. of A, the following resolution was passed: Resolved, that this court extend it's sympathies to the striking trolleymen in their efforts to have their union recognized and gain for themselves fair compensation fo1 fair days labor, and that we as in- dividuals extend such financial aid as lies within our means and that all the members of this court refrain from riding on the trolley cars until such 8 time as this strike is settled
 Many were curious to know what effect the high wind and heavy rain of to-day would have upon the strike situation, but judging by the looks o1 things the storm had nothing to dc with the case. It was severe morn ing on everybody, and especially or the girls, who got soaked on their way to the factories and stores, but they i didn't seem to mind 1t. This is one of the things which shoxs that unless the strike is settled in a manner which will meet with the approval of all par ties concerned large numbers of peo- pie will continue to walk regardless oi weather conditions.

 MT Westbrook declared that in the crowd were about 200 school children yelling at the top of their voices. He commented on the absence of Chief-of- Police Schmidt during the trouble and said he thought the chief should have been at the terminus at the time
 Chief Schmidt informed the reporter that at the time of the trouble at the terminus he was doing what he could to prevent cars from being stoned in Union City He said he had been told that the cars were being stoned there and he was Investigating.

NEXT CABLE IN
THE PACIFIC
United States. Holland and
Germany May Cooper
ate to Lay It.
From Globe Washington Bureau.

From Globe Washington Bureau.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 12.-The
next submarine cable of world inter-
est will doubtless be south of our pos
sessions in the Pacific and probably
will connect with them at Guam. This
new system, if carried out, would re-
quire the cooperation Of the Dutch
and German governments. The plan
would be for the Dutch to connect
Java, in their East Indies, with the
westernmost island Of the Caroline
group, and for the Germans to carry
a cable from the Caroline island to the
eastern extremity Of their possessions
at Bonham island, in the Marshall
group. The connection with our cable
at Guam would doubtless be made from
the point in the Caroline islands where
these two cables meet.
Such a line would have immense
strategic as we'll as commercial ad-
vantages, since the Caroline islands
contain many good harbors and bases
for naval operations and naval re-
serves. To know what is going on in
there by cable would at times be Of
the utmost value, even in the abb
sence of conditions which warranted
the controlling government from shut
ting off the transmission Of informa-
ton.

SAYS ORE SAMPLES
WERE ''SALTED"
Shrinkage Of $1,000, AL
legged in a Mining
Suit.

DENVER, Col, Jan. 1.-THE STRAIT
ton Independence company Qimited)
today filed in the United States court
a suit for $6,00O,0O0 against the execu-
tors and trustees of the Stratton estate
and also against I. Harry Stratton,
heir -at-law.
The complaint alleges that at the
time the mine was sampled prepara-
tory to concluding the sale, which had
been negotiated through the Venture
corporation, of London, the samples
were "salted" SO that the amount of
ore, according to those samples, was
valued at $7000,00O, when in reality the
ore in sight was worth only $4,000, 900
or less. 1t is alleged that the sacks
of samples were opened and sprinkled
with rich ground up silvanite.
The Venture corporation will also
bring similar suit declaring that it's
expert, G. A. Ruckard, was deceived
by the salted ore and the individual
stockholders will bring actions for the
return of their. money, alleging that
they were induced to purchase stock at
SIS, SO and SIS, which In reality was
not worth such prices.

SECRETARY MOODY
HURT IN RUNAWAY
Badly Bruised by Jumping
From Carriage-strange
Coincidence.

ANNAPOLIS, Md, Jan. 12.-Secre-
tary Moody was driving from the sta
ton here today in a carriage contain
ing, besides himself, Senator Hale,
Supt. Brownson and Lieut.. John
M. Poier, the superintendent's secre-
tary. AS they entered the academy
gates the marines presented arms and
a bugler blew a blast, which was too
much for the nervous horses. One of
them jumped to one side, slipped, fell
horses were off and beyond control.
The team was headed directly for the
river, and seeing the danger Of drown
ing, Secretary Moody leaped from the
carriage and fell heavily upon his face
The driver at that moment managed
to throw the horses toward the officers
quarters and halted the team without
injury to the remaining passengers. 1t
was discovered that the secretary was
bruised, his nose was SCARED and he
was considerably shaken up. 1t is
stated positively that he was not seri-
ously injured. He refused to allow
himself to be carried into the COM
mandant's house and insisted on walk
ing to a bedroom, where he was put
to bed. Secretary Moody insisted on
coming down to attend the reception
which had been arranged in his honor,
but the doctors forbade this, holding
out, however, the promise that he will
be all right tomorrow.
1t is a curious coincidence that the
horses attached to the secretary's own
departmental carriage in Washington,
Immediately after he had left it to
take the train for the academy be-
came startled and one of the horses
jumped, slipped and broke the carriage
tongue, SO that only skillful manage
ment prevented runaway.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 12.-The

oped into one Of those cases of which
the senate annals are full, where there
Is a material difference between the
number Of members who would actual
ly vote for certain policy on roll call
and the number who desire q chance
to do SO. Enough senators to hold the
balance of power in this contest in
their present state of feeling hope to
be relieved In this session from having
to vote against the omnibus bill.
Nearly every Eastern Republican Is
receiving letters and communications
which make 1t highly embarrassing
for him to vote against the statehood
bill. Former residents Of senator's own
states have gone into Arizona and
New Mexico to settle, and they are
now bringing pressure to bear on
their relatives and neighbors at home
In many instances they have invested
money in various enterprises for these
