IN Corea is arousing fresh apprehen-
sion OF renewed trouble in the far east.
1t has been the opinion of military ex-
perts here that in the event of war be-
tween Russia and Japan, Corea would
be made the battle ground at least in
the beginning. Mr. Allen, American
minister at Seoul, cabled the state de-
partment yesterday:
There is considerable disturbance
throughout Codea. The Japanese have
been attacked in many places"
1t is learned that in view of the pos
sibility of Corea being unable to az
ford proper protection to the Japan

PUBLIC PARK NEEDED
 AT MULCAHY SCHOOL

It would be a blessing to the resi- dents of the south end of the city if the powers that be would put their hands to their hearts and secure enough land in the vicinity of the Mul- cahy building to make Il neat public park, where the residents Of the dis tr1ct and others could take little recreation without feeling that they were trespassing upon their neighbors' property. If the city ever intends doing anything of the kind, the present is. most opportune time to move in the matter. There is lots of land avail able there and with the trolley service park in that part of the town would be q popular resort and thousands would spend portion of their time i'll 1t during the summer months. 1t wouldn't cost fortune to do 1t, either. The place has an abundance of shade trees, springs that bubble forth delight full water the year round, and a brook that could easily be made thing of beauty works it's weedy way through the brushwood from the foot of the high hill east of Sylvan avenue across the way in the rear of the school and thence through large drain on the property of David R. Hull to the Mad river, The subject was introduced to the department of public works last night by Senator Tracy and the mayor remarked that he thought 1t worth looking into and suggested that the board give 1t some attention. If such a thing as this should become real ity people who have been waiting and hoping for the past half century to see that part of Waterbury take its proper place in the public mind would feel that after all they made no mistake when they located there and stuck to the contention that it has natural ad- vantages which would some day com pei the admiration of the whole com munity.

IN DAYS OF OLD.
Judge Cowsll Tells How Houses We're
 Buils in Former Years.

Judge Cowell of the district court was in reminiscent mood to-day when someone broached the topic of the day. the carpenteTs' strike II see no reason why they can't build houses these days as they did years ago" said the judge ''In fact they ought to build more rapidly nowadays, for they didn't have the machinery when was boy that is in common use to-day II remember the time when the late William Perkins who lived on Bucks Hilr built ten houses in ten days Now I don't mean for moment that he just threw the boards together or. mixed them up in fashion to make sheI- ter I mean just what I say, that he built ten houses in ten days, ready for occupancy, and these houses are stand ing to-day. They may be seen by any, body going up Bucks Hill near where Bill used to live, and every one of them is sound and whole and occupied to-day as they were the day Bill fin- ished them.
 'Now in those days the lumber was merely sawed in the mills. To-day 1t is1sawed and planed and matched. The window frames are put together in the shop or mills and in general way a.. greal deal of the work that is done by machinery to-day was then done by hand process and was no ways as quick as now.
 But notwithstanding all that Bin Perkins-and Bill, you must know, was first selectnan of the town of Wa terbury for some years. Bill, say, built ten houses in ten days They are standing and sas good as ever Now l don't see why there should be any bother about rents in Waterbury or why the strike should make rents higher. If ten houses were built in ten days forty years ago by one man 1t ought to be no difficult matter to build ten houses in half an hour these days of wonderful manchinery.
 Ask the sheriff there if every word have said is not so. He ought to know for he lived here then"
 Il know 1t Is true,' said Sheriff Rigney, "and know where the houses stand. too" The sheriff spoke as though the statement had not inc mark of truth in every word and syl- lable.

ENTHUSIASTICALLY CASE.
More Evidence Taken To- -Cours
 Naarina Close.

The three cases of Benjamin and Mayhew against the Connecticut Rail- way & Lighting Go for $6,000 damages collectively, were still before Judge Robinson in the superior court to-day. The cases are for injuries received ink q trolley accident The defense is cOtl- tributory negligence and it has beep shown that the plaintiffs drove across the track in Il covered wagon without looking to see if car was approach ing. On the other hand they claim they heard no bell or any indication of q car being near.
 Mrs Mayhew testified this morning that she did not see the car until di- rectly after the collision.
 Cornelius Morgan and James Hol leran, formerly motormen for tue de- fendant, testified as experts. They said that at the point where the acci- dent occurred the grade of the trolley line is steep for a short dintance. Hor- gan said that car going at the rate of six miles an hour could be stopped within eight or ten feet on an emer- gency stop, but it would be necessary to reverse the power On an ordinary stop and at the speed mentioned the car could be stopped within 100 feet by an ordinary brake. It would de-
 
 ism Of the brake and if the slack of the brake chain was up. MT Horgaii said an experienced motorman ought to work as quick as a wink in making an emergency stop. He should al- ways have one hand on the brake and the other on the controller He thought car could be stopped in three or four seconds in making an emergency stop To Judge Burpee, counsel for the defense, he said motorman should De always ready for the unexpected Tor 1t is the unexpected that always happens. Judge Burpee did not agree ; with him in this.
 MT Holleran said that provided ev- erything was working well, an emer gency stop could be made ill "the small fraction of second" i'You don't mean that? asked the court in evident surprise
 Yes dos" was the answer
 But you have to make three mo- tions with the hands, shut off the power, reverse and put it on again." said the court.
 Well, in the locality where the acci- dent occurred, there is no power used Tor some distance and the car coasts along doNn the hill so you see you have to make only two motions with the hands,.
 It is doubtful if any other case will be heard by Judge Robinson after the Sprague vs Sprague contested divorce petition which follows the cases of Benjamin and Mayhew against the Connecticut Railway & Lighting Co. Judge Robinson leaves here this week He will hold session of short cnlen- dar Friday as usual and then court will suspend for n month, or until June IT, when Judge Shumway of Bridgeport comes here to make assign ment of civil business The same judge will preside at the criminal term which opens on June 2I, the third Tuesday.

KICKS ON OLD PLATFORM

Columbus, Ohio, May 25.-The com mittee on resolutions of the democratic state convention refused to reaffirm the Chicago and Kansas Ciy platforms and left the enunciation of national principles to the St Louis convention. The platform severely arraigns the na- tional and state administrations. Res olutions for the preservation of the Ohio canal system and for the en- dorsement of Jams Kilbourn for presl- dent were defeated The resolutions provide for the unit rule at St Louis.
 1t is believed that there will be a minority report on resolutions as well as from other committees today.
