HIGH SCHOOL BOOKS PREP.
FINANCE BOARD DAPPR0PRIATES
 $1,2OO MORE.

An Aye and Nay Vote Taken--Stood 5
 to 3-Mayor Favors Free Books
 West Chapel Street Macadam to be
 Finishcd-Director Coe to Establish
 New Are Lights.
 An important meeting of the board of finance was held in city hall at o'clock yesterday afternoon. The entire board
 was present except MT. Atwood.
 It was voted to authorize Director of
 Public Works Coe to have two new electric arc lights erected One at the public wharf and the other at the Wa ter street park.
 Director Coe was also authorized to draw on the sundry account the sum Iof $1,8OO to be used in finishing the Imacadam road extension on West. Chapel street. from the Boulevard to
 Forest street. This is the entire amount needed to complete the work and as the lstate pays two-thirds as the amount | this vote really means that the city will pay the sum of $500 and that the state will pay $1,200, although the city ad-
 vances the entire money for the work and the state pays the loan back when | the work is completed.
 The matter of free text books in the. 1 high schools was next taken up. After IdAbating the matter for some time it was finally decided to take an aye and lnay vote on the request which had
 been made by the board of education. When the vote had been taken it stood | 5. to in favor of granting the board lof edueation's request, the three mem lbers voting against 1t being Messrs. Lewis, Nesbit and Porter.
 An opposing member, in defining his position, stated that it was not the fact lthat he did not want to appropriate the lmoney but that he thought that the al-t dermen had not acted exactly right in tthe matter inasmuch as the charter states that the board had no right to Inappropriate more money than it had available for any specific purpose. The board of education was given It's appro- Ipriation at the commencement of the fiscal year and the opposition contended lthat this amount should not be increas- ed until next years appropriation is made, If at all.
 The board of education stated at the time it made It's request that if it could lget an appropriation of s1,2OO this sum with what it already had would be ienough to tide it over in providing free | text books for the high schools until
 next January, when the new appropria- tions are made One of the members of the board who opposed the granting of the sum requested stated last evening lthat in order to keep up the free text
 book system the school appropriations for next year would have to be much larger than they have ever been before.

LABOR LEADER SEES PARKER.
Conference With Judge Regarding
 Work in campaign.

Esopus, N. r., Sept. 1.-The most in teresting feature of the day at Rose mount was the visit of John N Bogart, one of the state organizers of the Am erican Federation of Labor, who spentt two or three hours in conference with Judge Parker. MT. Bogart was exceed ingly reticent about his visit, and Judge Parker refused to make any statement. The rumor reached Esopus in advance of MT. Bogart's coming that he was to discuss the attack of organized labor in New York city upon Senator MeCarren as chairman of the democratic, state executive committee, but there is the best possible reason to believe that the McCarren question was not mentioned. It is recalled that MT. Bogart has in the past been a worker for the demo- cratic party in the field of organized labor, and it is probable that the mat ters discussed to-day related to the practical work of the campaign.

RUSSIAN EXCUSE
Kuropatkin's Withdrawal CIeverly
 NT.da to Isso.,,a Tron 5-

kuropatkin's WtthdraWaL- Cleyerly
 Made to Escape Trap.
 St. Petersburg, Sept. 1.-10:16 p. m.- The Following statement was obtained by The Associated Press from the war office at 10 o'clock Thursday, night:
 General Kuroki's army crossed in force to the right bank of the Taitse river and it therefore became necessary for the Russians to be in a position to repel a blow in this direction.
 In view of this development in the operations General Kuropatkin decided to abandon his positions on the left bank and to concentrate his whole army on the other side of the river. This position is of the strongest both in character and site. The great issue will be finally decided there.
 By withdrawing to this position the Russian army avoids the danger of be- ing divided by the river and enjoys the advantage of eoInpactness.
 General Kuropatkin's move, there fore, is not to be considered as a re- treat, but rather as the carrying out of well defined idea
 The withdrawal of the Russians to the right bank involved the abandon ment of Laio Yang, which is situated on the left bank. The Japanese took ad- vantage of this to occupy the city, but the sternest part of the fighting is still before them unless General Kuropat- kin decides at the last hour to again fall back to the northward, It is more than likely, however, that he will de- eide to fight to a finish. The cards are all in his favor, it is believed, now that he has the Japanese divided by the river, thus effectually turning the tables upon his foe.
 The determined pursuit by the Jap |anese Of the Russians outposts when General Kuropatkin gave the first or der to withdraw was probably due to their anxiety to keep the Russians south of the Liao Yang until General Kuroki should be able to strike from the northeast.
 General Kuropatkin, however, saw the trap and cleverly avoided 1t.

 The parents of Young Clark became from one place to another. According worked up over the case to-day and MT. Clark went to New York and suc- ceeded in tracing his son and Seeker to the story of the boy, it is not clear whether Stecker tried to kidnap him with the intention of getting a reward for his return or whether he induced the boy to leave town with him with the intention of frightening his father, who discharged Stecker Monday. The boy is unharmed.

Text of Resolution Adopted at Meeting
 in Headquarters Last Evening-J. B.
 Sargent Recommended for Presiden-
 tiaI EIectOr-Members of Committees
 ChOsen-WiIIiam 4. Wright Presided.
 At meeting held at the headquar- ters of the democratic town committee Hast evening the twenty-six delegates from New Haven to the state conven- 1 tion effected their permanent organiza- jtion. William A. Wright was chosen chairman and Attorney George W. Rob- inson, secretary. A resolution was in- troduced supporting the candidacy of the Hon. A. Heaton Robertson for gov ernor and the resolution was unani- mously adopted, thus pledging the New Haven delegation to Judge Robertson. The text of the resolution follows:
 The New Haven delegation to the democratic state convention presents as candidate for governor the name of Hon. A. Heaton Robertson. A native and life long resident of New Haven, a life long democrat, serving his party and his city successively as a represen- tatiye from New Haven in the general assembly in 1880 and 1882, senator from the Eighth district in 1885 and 1886, pro ]. bate judge from 1887 to 1895, and corpo- ration counsel from 1899 to 1901, a grad. luate of Yale university, an honorary ialumnus of Trinity college, leading member of his profession, universally recognized by his community as a sound and conservative lawyer and trusted adviser, holding numerous posi- tions of trust and confidence, and last
 but not least, endowed with the saving grace of strong common sense, rare tact, and good fellowship, Judge Rob- jertson has justly become one of the leading figures of our public and social ] life. By capacity and training he is admittedly suitable candidate for the ioffice of governor. His sturdy per-
 sonal integrity has made him absolute- \ ly above suspicion. If elected governor
 the state of Connecticut would have in
 him a man worthy of the office. In addition to endorsing Judge Rob- lertson the delegates chose their vice presidents, secretaries and members of
 committees. Each senatorial district in
 the state is entitled to one of each of these offices. New Haven includes the Eighth, Ninth. Tenth and Eleventh districts and so is entitled to four. The men named were: Vice presi- Edents, Eighth district, P. J. Cronan;
 Ninth, James N. States; Tenth, Max Thalheiner; Eleventh, John J. sulli-
 Ivan.

ToKIo RINos IyI1fH CHEERS
Relief That Trophies of the Victory
 VIII be Valuable.

Tokio, Sept. 1--S p. m.--Tokio rings with shouts and cheers for the victory at Liao Yang. Lantern bearing crowds swing through the streets and surge around the staff offices shouting Ban Izai! The details of to-day's fighting are scanty. It is only known that at dawn to-day General Oku's army was hurled against the Russian right center on the southern line, and that the Rus sians were forced to abandon their line and positions and retreat. Their pur- suit is now in progress. The result of this pursuit and the result of the fierce battle waged on the eastern line, where General Kuroki is assailing the force which has long screened Liao Yang, together with the abandonment of the Russian right center on the southern line, expose the Russian left. But here the Russian force is so heavy that it may possibly be able to protect and ex- tricate itself.
 The. question of the occupation of Liao Yang by the Japanese Is in doubt. The official dispatches do not make mention of such occupation, but it is assumed that the Russians are with drawing through Liao Yang, and that the Japanese possibly occupied it late today.
 Tonight no estimates are obtainable .of the losses on either side. Field Mar shal Oyama describes his losses in the morning assault as heavy. The early success of the attack was somewhat unexpected on account of the strength of the Russians and the nature of the Russian defenses. It Is confidently be- lieved that Field Marshal Oyama will press the pursuit with desperate yigor and inflict on General Kuropatkin the most crushing blow possible. It is be- |lieved that his trophies will prove val uable. It is the opinion here that the Russians were not able to carry many guns with them, and that they. were forced to abandon or destroy vast quantities of stores.

 Yesterdays news from the seat of
 lr closed with the receipt of two dis
 tches, giving information of the most
 ;nifcant character as bearing on the
 imitation of Manchuria at the close of
 present campaign. The first came bm the Associated Press correspond
 at St. Petersburg, filed there at
 16 D. m, and said that General Ku- patkin had withdrawn his whole ar " to the right bank of the Taitse Ter, so as to meet General Kuroki's
 hiking movement. The inference
 awn from this dispatch was that
 ao Yang had been evacuated. that
 y lying on the west bank of the river. Nothing to confirm this was received
 til several hours later, when dis |stch from the Associated Press cor
 5pondent at St. Petersburg, dated Eptember 2, and timed at 1:25 this prning, said that "The news of the
 acuation of Liao Yang and the with laval of the Russian army to the right Ink of the Taitse river" had caused tense excitement and disappointment. k4ate Thursday night the St. Peters Rrg correspondent of the Associated
 less obtined an opinion from the |ar office that the withdrawal to the Int bank of the Taitse river became Necessary so that the Russians would able to repel a blow in that direc-
 In, and that General Kuropatkin's s Ibvement was the carrying out of a M defined idea, rather than a rel Hat.
 ,ghe same dispatch points out with
 table lack of comment that the Jap ese took advantage of General Ku- stkin's withdrawal to occupy the city , Liao Yang.
 The second dispatch which may have significant bearing on the campaign ! that filed at Mukden at 9:27 p. m. slursday, stating that the train ser see between Mukden and Liao Yang Us interrupted, and it may mean the stting of railroad communication, slich would deprive General Kuropat- ll of an opportunity to retreat to his pfe northern base at Mukden. As Ninted out in the St. Petersburg dis Stch, the Mukden correspondent does S t mention whether the telegraphic Pnmunications are open.
