ANOTHER CITY MISSION

Fresh Air Excursion Yesterday.
 This weeks fresh air excursion by the City Missionary association was Of fered to the children of the County Home. Rev. MT. Mossman chartered a special car and took all the children to Savin Rock for a day at the shore, and the good time generally that they always enjoy there, as almost every body opens everything free to these children.
 The company was under the care of MT Matthews. the superintendent of the County home, and his faithful as- sistants.
 The trolley company ran the chil- dren's special car up othe County home on Shelton avenue at o'clock in the morning and took them back there on their return at 6 o'clock in the eve ming.

 | have observed altogether some thirty of these soaring larks. and in no iri- stance did I see the spiral ascent made.
 This may be owing to the fact that on every visit made with them there was a fresh breeze blowing. Invariably the birds went almost straight into the air for the first fifty feet then in a long, swinging slant till the desired elevation was attained. Tn their descent they ap- peared an exact facsimile of the little
 Japanese bird kites, so popular with us few past. I presume the spiral ascent we read of in the English prints is made in calm weather, hence failed to ob- serve it. The above description is the usual
 procedure of the skylark when soaring in song, though now and again the de- scent is more rapid, until within forty or fifty feet of the meadow, the bird will fold it's wings close, and drop like Ia plummet, swiftly and silently from sight, in the grass.
 While on the ground in the thick
 cover of the fields, the skylark has a Little song that begins exactly like that of our dainty white-throat sparrow. Tu. tu! tu! it rings out over the meadows, and involuntarily you listen for the well-known white-throat re- frain after the first three notes that rise in the scale in precisely similar pitch and fashion but no, a rapidly ut tered weet! weet! weet! succeeds. l Where several of the larlSs are nearby, this little song, or rather call-for 1t seems to voice an inquiry Els frequently repeated, and should you have the good fortune to see the lark as he stands

POLICE INVESTIGATION
 CONTINUED YESTERDAY

(Continued from First Page.)
 I do not understand that I am in any sense under Investigation. If, as public official or otherwise, I ever am, shall endeavor to meet such issue fairly and squarely.
 But being merely private citizen, even though interested in the so-called Ullman faction, it does not seem to me to be quite fair to allow an attack of this character to be made upon me merely by innuendo and insinuation. If the committee thinks that because I happen to take an interest in politics, my political work Is legitimately within 3 the province Of this Investigation then it would only seem to me just and fair that those accusing me should be com pelled to openly present the facts upon which they base their charge and not be permitted to sneak away from the responsibility thereof by answering an Inquiry under the indefinite and ire sponsible answer of II have heard 1t rumored' or .I have heard it said"
 Whoever aggressively mingles in the R0OllS 5A1@C 5OA 55sllSCu hardly state to you gentlemen, neces- sarily makes political enemies I have always taken a deep interest in public affairs and always hope to continue to-.
 The complaint is ever made by our so-called best citizens that worthy and responsible men do not take part in the machinery of politics and that therefore we get as a result poor and corrupt government. However this may be. it Is just such attacks as have been made in my case that keep many decent men from participation in polit- teal life and from taking an active part in the affairs of the city.
 In conclusion, I desire to say that I do not believe that the committee would in any way consciously lend it's aid to any individual or set of individuals in

FAVOR FREE TEXT BOOKS,
MANY CITIZENS VOICE sENFI- MESTs BEFORE COMMITTEE.

Rev. Mir. Irvine Makes Stirring Appeal
 w. H. BoyIe, Committeeman from
 Trades Council, Favors Free Books
 Not Dissenting Voice.
 The meeting of the special aldermanio committee on free text books for the public schools was held last night in rooms 10 and II in the city hall. The committee was composed of Aldermen McGuinness, Devine. Spreyer, Chad wick and Minor.
 An opportunity was given and argu- ment invited from the citizens of the city to express their views upon the subject of free text books. Many of those present responded. The Rev. MT. Irvine spoke elOquently, appealing to the strong sense of justice and equity residing in the breasts of the commit tee. Mir. Irvine said in part. that sta tistics might show that 90 per cent. of the children in the high schools were the sons or daughters of well to do parents, nevertheless he favored free text books so that the remaining 10 per cent, who were the children of parents who toiled hard for daily liv- ings, might enjoy the advantages and safeguards of higher education. Let plutoeraey and democracy share alike, said Rev. Mir. Irvine.
 w. H. Boyle. appointed by Mayor Studley, as one Of committee to visit the Trades Council with the question, spoke in favor of free text books. MT. Boyle showed that the parochial schools in New Haven saved the city $750 year ly. and argued that the city could well afford to draw s1,2OO year from that fund to provide free text books.
 Messrs. T. B. Kelley. Kennedy, Cron- an and Ford also spoke favorably upon the subject. Anthony Carroll made a plea for the poor mans children, and was decidedly in favor of giving them the advantages of an education.
 Not dissenting voice was heard and at about 9:30 o'clock the committee closed the meeting by laying the mat ter upon the table until the next meet ing of the aldermanic body.

Tho closing days debate on the Par

Mr.. Bacon (Georgia) took the floor to
explain his vote on the treaty. he said
there has been a serious question ralsej
as to whether a senator should be guided
nv the wishes of his constituents or by
his own Judgment in voting or al impor-
tant matters Of public interest. After
giving the question duo elaboration, ne
said he believed a senator should listen
to the wishes Of his State. and accord
3ingly no would vote for the treaty.
Al the same time, he said notwlth-
standing the fact that the interests OF
Georgia called for the ratification OF the

nprrove OF the recent occurrences on the

Bacon spoke Of his amendment to the
