said that while he approved of the eity's owning the plant he felt con- strained to consider the means whereby the city might obtain the monopoly.
 He said that it would take three years by the authorized method for the city to obtain the plant. First said Mir. Wallace. ''tte municipaIization must be recommended by the commit tee on lighting and the committee must advise the court os common council to give a two-thirds vote in favor of it. Upon obtaining this vote the mayor must sign it. if he so wishes. The next year this process is to be repeated. Presuming that this is carried through successfully, the matter comes before the citizens for general vote. After they have voted favorably on it the question of the valuation of the plant comes uD. This will take three years and in the meantime unless we make some sort of a contract with the pres ent company the city must remain in the dark
 MT. Wallace then advised that at the expiration of the present gas contract in December the city make contract with the gas company of eighty-flve cents for a year: or eighty cents per thousand for two years; or, f1nanlly. seventy-fye cents per thousand for three years This met with great ap- plause.
 Former Alderman Henry Donovan was the next speaker and said he agreed with what had been advised. He cited the case of the Loomis Gas company in Bridgeport, which supplied water gas at thirty-five cents to the people of that city. This company. he explained, had been absorbed by other gas interests in Bridgeport. He ad- vised similar rate for New Haven which might be secured by municipali- zation.
 In reply to questions, Attorney Wall lace said that the taxed value of the gas company is. roughly speaking, St. 100000. while the franchise value is $3,- 000,00o He said that by the decision of the supreme court of California a city need not pay the franchise valua-, ton of property in purchasing.
 Anthony Carroll was the last speaker and dwelt on the lack of respect shown him during his years of speaking at public hearings He said prophetically, like Nestor: Mark my words. you may live to be hundred but you will never see municipalization in New Ha- ven. There are too many rich men agin' it.''
 The meeting then closed and after some question as to the date of the next hearing 1t was finally assigned to the committee to be decided and the date will be published.

 private corporation. Think of it. gen. tIemen, an editor presumes to voice the sentiments of 10S,000 people. The7same editor advocated waiting until that Norwich municipalization of the gas plant were proved to be success or a failure before the people of New Ha- ven take decided steps In regard to this problem. I say that this is analogous to the old adage of try it on the dog
 The sneaker went on to say that he was a believer in the rights of property but added that a new division had arisen of late years and that besides mine and thine'' there hd entered into the question "ours", He also brought into tie matter the recet and as yet unfinished cases of the conspirators in the teamssers and hackmen's strike, saying: "There are now walking the streets of New Haven men who are re- garded as cur best citizens but who are worse conspirators than those poor tear1sters, who strove to retain their pittance whereby they managed to keep the life within their nostrils." :"
 He concluded by saying: T will not tolerate the reckoning of the question of municipalization upon the platform of expediency but wish 1t brought down to matter of natural evolution" j., Charles Rich followed MT. Trueman with a speech that consisted mainly of statistics which were read from work entitled 'The City for the People" ]" This title, MT. Rich facetiously remarked may sound strange to some people but it yet may be fact" These statistics were produced to the effect that in 1892 gas sold at $1.2O a thousand might be sold at good profit for the rate of eighty cents thousand cubic feet This instance, the speaker said, was in Chi cago and he remarked that conditions could not be much varied to-day. ~ z gE
 MT. Rich said that yesterday morning he went to the works of the gas com pany for the purpose of ascertaining pie. He said that as the result of his investigations he was prepared to state that New Haven is being supplied with only water gas and that this may De produced and turned into the holders at cost of only eight cents per thou-, sand. With the addition of another eight cents for distribution the cost to the company would be brought to six teen cents, according to MT. Rich, and thirty-five cents thousand would give the company a,good profit. " '' .s,'
 MT. Rich said that he is in favor or municipalization and believed that this would prove effectual.
 Attorney George M. Wallace arose next and stated that he had come to the meeting somewhat unpreparedt He, gave, however. the, technical advice from legal standpoint that the dis cussion had up to this time lacked. He

HOE CONFERENCE.
John Tempi. Graves of Georgia Ds-
 fends lynch Law.

fonds Lynch Law.
 Chautauqua, N Y, Aug. 11.-Unique among all summer gatherings is the
 .mob conferencea now on at Chautau- qua. The alarming increase of mob
 spirit shown by feuds, lynchings. riots,
 assassinations and other lawless hap
 penings lends great interest to this com ference.
 John Temple Graves, of Georgia, in his address before the conference to- day on '"rhe Mob Spirit of the South !" defended lynch law as remedy for the crime of rape, holding that, though lynching Is a crime, it is justified by the crime which provokes it, and will never be discontinued until that crime | is eliminated, and this could be done only by the separation of the two races lin the United States. MT. Graves con tinued:
 The problem of the hour is not how to prevent lynching in the south. but the larger question: How shall we de- stroy the crime which always has and always will provoke lynchtng? The an- swer which the mob returns to this vii tai question is already known. The mob answers 1t with the rope, the bull |let and sometimes, God save us, with the torch. And the mob is practical; it's theory is effective to large degree; the mob is to-day the sternest, the strongest and the most effective re- straint that the age holds for the con- trol of rape."
 The lyncher does not exterminate the tx1 11 h ht,xa s<r1&4 41.rs s., check. As a sheer, cold, patent fact. MT. Graves said, the mob stands to-day as the most potential bulwark between the women of the south and such car- |nfval of crime as would infuriate the world and precipitate the annihilation of the negro race. The masses of the negro, he held, are not afraid of death coming in a regular way. They love display and the spectacular element of trial and execution appeal to their imaginations.
 Expediting the processes of the law would not be adequate to eliminate lynching, The repeal of the ar1end-
 ments and the establishment of the ne-
 gro's inferiority in law and society,
 said Mir. Graves. though desirable, are
 not sufficient for the negro" he add
 cd, lis thing of the senses and with thils race and with all similar races, the
 desire of the senses must be restrained
 by the terror of the senses If possible
 under the law No influence of sup
 pression so mighty and effective could
 be brought to bear as a law making
 amputation the penalty for the crime of
 rape, the speaker held.
 But this, like curfew edicts, separate
 laws for white and black or the treat
 ment of the crime of rape as separate
 and outside Of all other codes are but
 expedients, he maintained; there is no real remedy but one. No statute will
 permanently solve this problem. Re ligion does not solve it. Education
 complicates it. Politics eomplicates it..
 The truth which lies beyond and above
 all these, temporizing expedients, he
 concluded, lis that separation is the
 logical, the inevitable, the only solu- tion of this great problem of the races, :"
