POLICY DEN RAIDED.
William Devery of New Britain Is
 Fined $lOO.

New Britain, Sept Civilian Dew cry, whose policy den was raided here Wednesday, pleaded guilty to conduct ing policy office in the city court yesterday morning and he was fined $100 and costs. The case of Peter McCabe, in whose place a letter was found giving clue to Devery's where abouts, was nolIed, as there was no dl- rect evidence against him. The police found a telephone receipt in Devery's pocket and went to Manager Gray of the Southern New England Telephone Go and demanded to know where the telephone was located.
 Manager Gray declined to tell them at first, but was compelled to do so and the police located the phone and other paraphernalia in another room in the block where Devery was ar rested. They seized everything and found abundant evidence to convict Devery. It is evident that DeveFy has been getting returns over the tele- phone.

TO sHHLvE ROBERTSON.

One of the most interesting incidents of the democratic state convention was the proposition to abandon both can, didates, Judge Robertson and Mayor Thayer, and take up third candidate, says the Hartford Times. This came in such shape that it could not be taken other than seriously, and While 1t was not generally known to the delegates, it was under consideration by leading men of the convention, both on Tuesday evening and again on Wednesday morning.
 Whatever hopes the Thayer men may have entertained on Tuesday af. ternoon that the gubernatorial nomina ton could be secured for him were very rapidly dissipated during the eevening when the delegates from the distant parts of the state reached town Tn large numbers. They were anti -Thayer, and said so. The after noon consultation with MT Thayer by ex-NIayor Sullivan and others of the committee from the conference of Mr Robertson'S friends was without re suit. Mr Thayer would listen to no proposition to withdraw from the race for the governorship and take noll- ination for congressman-at-large The committee were given to understand JIltD He WOulJh uSN TUT Sof- ernor or nothing.
 By the hour of the convention ad journment, Tuesday evening, MT Thayer's managers had become con vinced that he had no chance of se- curing q nomination. They were not willing, for various reasons, to see Mayor Thayers opponent Judge Rob. ertson, win decisive victory, if they could avert 1t. There was long con ference at the Thayer headquarters Tuesday night, and finally a proposi- ton was agreed upon to be offered the friends of Judge Robertson. This was that Mayor Thayer would withdraw provided Judge Robertson would do the same; then the friends of both candidates would unite upon Dean Henry Wade Rogers of the Yale law school, the temporary chairman of the convention The proposition came from the Thayer men through E. J. AIaher Of New Haven, member of the state central committee, to Na- tional Committeeman Cummings, who was an earnest supporter of Judge Robertsons

AS Dean Rogers was very directly interested, the proposition was com municated to him. He said that if the party needed him he would bo willing to accept the nomination, but he first wished to consult with a gen. tleman i'll New Haven. He did not name him, but the understanding was that Mir Rogers laid the proposition before President Hadley of Yale early "Wednesday morning and that the president made no objection.
 When the story spread on Wednes- day morning, few of the Robertson delegates regarded the proposition fa- yorably, as in the line of harmony. but the New Haven delegation, the fellow toWnsmen of Judge Robertson. would have none of it. They knew that Judge Robertson had the conven- ton his own way, possibly two to one. and they pointed out that MT Thayer was not giving up anything whatever while Judge Robertson would surren- der certainty.
 A final conference of several promi- nent friends of both candidates was held at the Tontine hotel at s o'clock Wednesday morning, at which it Is said the withdrawal proposition came direct from the Thayer party that Ar Thayer would withdraw if Judge Rob- ertson would make personal request, the friends of both candidates to then unite in nominating Dean Rogers. Judge Robertson's friends asserted that he would make no request, but was willing to abide by the action of the convention. During the confer ence the Robertson men renewed Tuesdays proposition that MT Thayer accept the nomination for congress- | man-at-large. This MT Thayer again refused and such was the situation at the hour of the opening of the conven- ton session. Wednesday forenoon.
 Rumors were current in the Hobbies | that the Thayer men would make an effort to carry through their proposI- ton when the nomination for governor asNreached, and to stampede the con- vention for Dean Rogers. However, wiser counsels prevailed, and 1t is | propable that any attempt to carry through the proposition would have been sharply denounced by Judge Rob l ertson's friends on the floor, and would have been flat failure. Judge Rob- ertson's vote, BAT to 1S1 for Mayor Thayer, indicates that such would have been the result

As he went down he grasped one of the sap ports which hold the running board and hung with one arm around this support, with his body off the car and his feet touching the ground. He hung this way while the car went nearly half mile when he was able to raise himself to the lower footboard.

DIssELL LEAVES PARTY.

Henry O. DisseIl of West Hartford. who was defeated at the democratic state convention in his ambition to get the nomination for comptroller, an nounced last evening that he was through with the democratic party, would resign his position as a mem fber of the state central committee and his membership in the democratic town committeee of West Hartford.
 MT Dissell was very much dissatis- fed with the action of the convention, and told reporter last evening that he was not satisfied with the principles and workings of the democratic party i'll the state. Nor with the platform and the principles enunciated therein as adopted at St Louis. Neither was he pleased with the method adopted to defeat his nomination for comp troller.
 He said that the platforms and po- litical methods of the republican and democratic parties differ very little and with the candidates nominated in Hartford yesterday, he and his friends might as well cut loose from the democratic party. All the control of the democratic party in this state is in the hands of two or three men and if other democrats could stand
 
 ocratic principles and swallowed the national platform with some com. punction and thought he would have to stand Parker as the party's candi- date for president, but he could not endure the party managers and their methods in this state, and must draw the line at the nomination of men who were tools of corporations The work ings of the party in this state, were foreign to his principles.
 "I shall vote for Tom Watson, the candidate for the populists for presi- dent, and you may say so; I'm through with the democratic party, national, state and locaI,' said MT Dissell. ] MT Dissell was very emphatic in his denunciation of certain democrats who took an active part in the convention, and said: "If Homer Cummings and 1 Walsh are democrats. I'm not one. I want to see at least senrblance of democracy in the leaders of the par I tyo

New Haven, Sept 9.-The ninety workmen who quit their jobs in the Mallory, Wheeler &S Co.'S lock shops, q few days ago, because the company could give them only three days work of eight hours each week, will return to work Monday morning.
 An officer of the company stated yesterday that the men had asked for five days of ten hours in week, but 1t was explained to them that this could not be granted. Therefore, a compromise was effected by the con- cern promising to keep them at work as much as possible. Most of them are Italians.

After coming trum the grocery I met my wife, and we went into drug store to get some soda. I told the clerk to put Lolly Pop in mine; My wife says that must be lovely, and said she would take one. in hers; winked and the clerk put three fingers of Gin in mine, and u stiff dose of Tincture of Capsicum in hers. From the way 1t affected her I don't think she will try another Lolly Pop with soda"

 The government has come out with brand new stamps for internal revenue uses and they are now on sale. They are of light green shade, while the old ones were of dark blue tint. The government is spending a little more money on its stamp paper, the quality of this new series for beer, tobacco and cigar stamps being much, superior to the old stamps, and the printing is consequently improved Some of these stiekers run up as high as $1.50 each, and sheet of ten is worth to the government $15.

TAX RATE.

While the bonded debt has been
practically paid off under Democratic
rule, the tax rate has been reduced
from fifty cents on the one hundred
dollars, where 1t was when the Demo-
cratic party came into power, to seven
teen cents on the one hundred dol
lars, where it is to-day; and seven
cents of this goes into the public
school fund, for the benefit Of educa-
ton in the state. Missouri has the
lowest tax rate Of any state In the
Union. and Is the only state that has
paid of heavy debt ard reduced
taxation at the same time. This low tax
rate. is in particular contrast to the
surrounding states. In Illinois, the tax
rate in 1903 was 50 cents, so cents Of
this going to the state revenue fund
and two cents to the public school
fund. In Iowa the tax rate last year
for state purposes was IS cents, 30 of
which was for state revenue and five
cents for the public schools. In Kan
sas the tax rate this year Ii 81 cents.
80 cents being for state revenue and
