READY TO BEGIN SENTENCE
Charies B. Marsh Who Was Responstbi
 for Big Real Estate Crash.

Bridgeport. Oct 1s, Sheriff Hawley today received message from Charles R. Marsh. who was convicted and sen fenced to jail for one year, last March, notifying him that he is ready to begin serving his sentence. Marsh has been out on bail. pending the determination Of an appeal to the supreme court of errors. Recently the trial judge, when asked to make a finding of fact, refus- ed on the ground that the time limit had expired. It is doubtful now if Marsh can be sent to jail on a rnittimus without a judges order. and he may have to wait until September before be- ginning his sentence. Marsh is the man who was responsible for the big real estate crash three years ago.

AN UP.TO-DATE METHOD.
OARS NOT TO BE DELAYED AT STATE AND CHAPEL STREETS.

A Change to be Tried Which Wiii No
 Doubt be . Great Improvement-The i New Plan Probably to Go Into Effect
 Novembcr 1st.
 The Fair Haven and Westville Rail- road company has long contemplated, and it is understood have now practic- ally decided to make radical change in the running of the cars that meet at the corner of State and Chapel streets. It is expected that the pres tent system of making connections at these corners will be discontinued short ly. This decision has been arrived at after careful thought and Investigation of the matter and il1 response to many requests that the cars should not be delayed at this point. Many requests and suggestions have been made from time to time regarding this improve ment. The present system has been in vogue since the early history of the road and existed during the time when horses were used; in fact since the cars used to come in on runners in snow storms and straw on the floors was a striking feature. Times have changed. The city has outgrowf1, in the opinion of the managers, and of the general public, the old system and it is evident that more practical, uD-to-date way Of running the cars should be at least attempted. It is probable that this change will occasion some inconven- ience, but on the whole the public will, it is thought. be greatly benefited. It will do away with the necessity of run ming three or four cars through Chapel street at time, will obviate the neces- sitY of going half block beyond the corner of Church and Chapel streets be- fore the cars can stop, and in many ways it will prove generally advantageous. It is probable that under this new arrange ment some of the State street cars now passing uo Elm street and into Chapel street will be able to continue on through stata to Chapel street and up Chapel to Church street.

CANADIANS REFUSED TOSIGN
HELD OUT AGAINST ALASKAN
 BOUNDARY DECISION.
Carry Their Outspoken DisapprovaI to Point Of Refusing Even to Aax Their Signatures to the Section Giving Pori- land canal to canada-Lord Aver stone Alone stood for American Com tendon.

London, Oct. 1s.-A draft of the de- cision reached by the Alaska boundary commissioners, as announced by the Associated Press, was signed by ma joritv of the commissioners this even ing. Messrs. AylesWorth and Jette, the Canadian commissioners, refused to sign.
 The decision grants all the American contentious with the exception of the one relating to the Portland canal. The signatories were Lord Chief Justice AL verstone and Senator Lodge, Senator Turner and Secretary Root, the Ameri- can commissioners. They constituted a majority and insured finality. Messrs. AylesWorth and Jette carried their out spoken disapproyal of the decision to the point of refusing to sign even that section of the decision giving the Port land canal to Canada and they empha- sized their attitude by walking out of the cabinet room in the foreign office before the signatures of the others had s been affixed to the historical document, which has already been printed and is ready for the session to be held to-mor- row. The only thing remaining to be done at this session is that the major itv of the tribunal complete and sign the map which accompanies the decis- ion and which infinitely determines the course of the boundary in accordance with the American contentious contain ed in question No. 5.
 An engrossed copy of the decision also will be signed on Tuesday. The refusal of Messrs. Aylesworth and Jette to coincide in Lord Alversone's s view was only known to a few persons here tonight. but at the foreign office and in high governmental circles 1t has created a painful impression. There is no hope expressed that the Canadian commissioners will reconsider their at titude and sign the engrossed copy of the decision which will stand as the international record of the tribunals finding.
