SETTLEMENT OF THE
. LAWLOR-SCADDEN CASE.

AS usual at this season of the year
considerable work is being done on
the green with a view to making the
grass grow, but whether the results
will be any more satisfactory than IN
the past remains to be seen. One
thing seems to be overlooked Several
years ago one of the elms fell a victim
to the elements and had to be uproot-
ed and cast into the fire. The Barlow
and Kilduff administrations tried to
grow one in its place, but their efforts
were not crowned with success, as can
be seen by the decayed remnants Of
what was formerly promising young
tree opposite the city hall annex. Here
is a golden opportunity for the Elton
administration to show what 1t can do
in this line. 1t is Just the time to
speak of it, too. Throw that rotten
elm to the winds and replace by one
that is full of life md try to coax it to
live there. Tt will need constant at
tention, for there must be something
the matter with the earth in that par
ticular spot else the two other sap
lings planted there would not have
died

LOUBET IN ROME.
Report That Pope Plus X will Enter
a Protest.

Rome, April 25.-Prestdent Loubet of
France who arrived in Rome yesterday
to repay the visit of King Victor Em-
manuel to Paris last October, went
with royal cortege to the Pantheon
to-day to lay wreaths on the tombs of
King Victor Emmanuel II and King
Humbert. He was received by vet
Grams of the Italian army. The func-
tion was of the most impressive ma
ture, President Loubet speaking to
each veteran, some of whom wore
medals gained while fighting in 1859
with the French against Austria.
With the same cortege President Lou
bet then drove to the Plazzo Margher-
ita to pay a visit to the queen mother,
Margherita. He remained half hour.
Those surrounding the pope assert
that he has expressed his intention to
protest against the visit of President
Loubet to Rome OH the ground that 1t
is the first occasion on which the head
of Catholic country has visited the
Quirinal since the fall of the temporal
power of the pope, but 1T is not known
when or under what form the protest
will be issued.

DIRECTOR CREATORE
AND HIS B1SND

The wonderful Creatore and his fam
Gus band delighted large audience at
Polls theater last evening. The music
was better than ever and the great
leader was liberal in responding to en-
cores. Madame Barili was dndisrosed
and unable to be present. The band
played the @Miserere" from I'll Tr0va-
tore" and the listeners seemed to be
just as well pleased, although lnany
went to hear .Ae singer. The Wigner
music was pernaps the real genas OF
the evening, although number OF
those present seemed to enjoy the light
er selections. One selection by Verdi
was particularly pleasing to many on
the choir singers present. The music
was the same to which the trio s.Jesgt.
Die Vivi" is sung in the Caxholio
churches. The closing selection, medx
ley of American airs, was particularly
pleasing and sent the audience homo
in good humor.

D. A. r. CONVENTION.
Took Tellers All Night to Count Vote
for Bristol Woman.
Special to Democrat.)

Washington, April 25.-The congress
OF the Daughters Of the American Rev
olution adjourned last Saturday, after
a most successful meeting. The ladies
have. of course, had fine time, social
ly and otherwise, and the meetings
have been very harmonious as COM
pared with former years. One reason
for that was because there was no
election of president general this year.
There was. however, considerable talk
during the week of candidates for next
year, and many were mentioned. Mrs
Donald Mclean Of New York is again
a candidate, but there is considerable
opposition to her. From indications it
would appear that Mrs Dolliver, the
wife of Senator Dollfver Of Iowa, will
be one of the leading candidates for
president-general.
In this connection the name of Mrs
Sara Il. Kinney of New Haven was
mentioned more or less. Mrs Kinney
has been one of the leading members
Of the ID. "A. II. for several years, and
is one of the most popular. This year
she was selected to lead the procession
to the laying of the corner stone of tne
memorial nall. She has back of her
the entire Connecticut delegation, and
is loved by them all. They showed
Ill6lT appreciation OF her Work III a
very pretty way on Friday, when they
presented her with a magnificent bou-
quet, tied with broad ribbons of the D..
A. r. colors. 1t may be that Mrs Kin
ney will be one of the leading candi-
dates for president general, although it
is nothing that she is seeking. Mrs
Kinney is too modest and would in no
way push herself, but her friends are
very active in her behalf
The election of -presfdent-gener
ais was q long drawn out affair. It
took the tellers all night to count the
ballots. Miss Clara Lee Bowman. ex-
regent of the Katharine Gaylord chap
ter Of Bristol, received 1876 votes, the
largest number cast for any one candi-
date except one which was re-elec-
ton. AS one of the ladies expressed it,
Connecticut is hugging itself over
Miss Bowman's splendid vote" Among
the twentye-fght tellers who sat up all
night counting the ballots were Mrs
Elford Eddy of Esther Stanley chap
ter of New Britain; Mrs Nellie II.
Woodruff, of Hannah Woodruff chap
ter of Southington; Mrs #. b. Street,
OF the Mary Clap Wooster chapter of
New Haven, and Miss Florence Cheney
of Ruth Wyllys chapter of Hartford.
Quite a number of the ladies went
down to. Jamestown, Va, to visit the
scene of the exposition, but most of the
Connecticut delegates left for home
| Saturday evening and Sunday morning.
Miss Ruth Forbes of Torrington was
one OF the pages for the congress.

Want Nine Hour Day Al
SO - Answer Exp cted
T4AiS Week.

New Haven, April 25.-Interest in
the strike Of the boilermakers of the
New York, New Haven and Hartford
railroad system was oyerSnaQOWed to-,
day by speculation as to the probable
action OF the machinists and ear work,
ers. The demands of these craftsmen
are practically the same as those of
the bo1lermak ers-a nine-hour day and
10 per cent increase in pay. A con,
ference OF the machinists' grievance
committee with the railroad officials
was held last week and it was under
stood that formal answer to the
mems demand would be given to-day.
On that answer will depend the action
Of the machinists in reference to a
strike, the men having announced their
intention of following the example of
the boilermakers If the demand is not
granted. The number of machinists
employed by the railroad is said to be
about 1000.
An answer to the demands of the
car workers is also looked for early
this week. The car workers are said
to number about 5000.
The men brought here to take the
places of the striking boilersmakers
We're working to-day in the railroad
shops. while detectives in the service
of the company patrolled the yards to
prevent the approach of strike pickets.
The steamer O. Ell. Northam, which is
used as living quarters for the strike
breakers, was also guarded by rail-
road policeman as 1t lay at one of the
coal docks No trouble due to at
tempted interference with the new
men was reported.
The railroad officials declined to-day
to say whether any Of the strike,
breakers had been sent to other points
where the boilersmakers are out. The
usual meeting of the strikers took
place early to-day. Members of the
union said afterwards that they We're
prepared to remain out OF the shops
for five months liz necessary, but ex-
pressed great confidence that they will
win the fight before many days. Grand
President Mcneil of the boilermakers'
union is said to have issued a warning
characterizing all locomotive repair
work sent out by New Haven during
the strike as unfair.
Norwood, Mass, April 25.-The 100
machinists and carpenters employed
here at the shops of the New York,
New Haven and Hartford railroad who
had voted to join the striking boiler-
makers to-day unless their demands
were granted, were at work as usual
this forenoon. 1t is understood that
the men are waiting developments In
view of the expectation that a settle
ment may be reached at New Haven.
Hartford, April 25.-Twenty-six
boilermakers and TWENTY-FIVE helpers
who went out on strike on Friday
evening are still out and at a meeting
held to-day, signified their Intention of
remaining out until their demands
were granted.

CHURCH MUSIC.
Cardinal Gibbons Denie,
Rumors-POpe's Wishes
to be Complied With

Baltimore, Md, April 25.-In conneo
tion with rumors that at the meetin
of Catholic archbishops In Washington
two weeks ago, Cardinal Gibbons had
been requested to inform the pope that
it would be impracticable at the pres
ent time to enforce the decree concern
ing the restoration Of the Gregorian
chant as the only music to be en-
ployed in churches of TINS country az
the banishment of women from the
choirs, the cardinal says no definite
request of the kind was made.
An extract as follows from Tesolu
tions adopted at the Washington con
ference, and bearing upon the subject
of the church music and women choirs
would clearly explain, he said, the
position in which the prelates were
placed in regard to the edict of Plus A.:
"The letter of the holy father was
carefully considered; attention was
called to the prudent liberation of the
views of the holy father, who, while
giving special approval and encourage
ment to the use Of the Gregorian chant
wherever practicable, is far from in
sisting upon it exclusively, but deals
at length on the excellence of the sa-
cred composition of the school of Pal
estina and praises likewise such works
of modern music as have in like man
ner aimed at expressing the divine
worship in religious and worthy man
ner.
''It was also noted that while en-
ocuraging formation OF male choirs,
he the pope does not condemn congre-
gational singing or divine service in
which the voices OF women are in
cluded. 1t was urged that measures
everywhere should be taken to COM
ply as far as possible with the COM
mands of the holy father"
