No Red Skirts on Track.
The statement is going the rounds or
the press that the Pennsylvania rail
road has forbidden women wearing
red skirts from ~trespassing on the
right OF way. An official Is quoted as
saying: Red skirts have stopped
fast trains. Italian women gathering
coal along the line, when the harvest
was good, pulled off their red skirts
and tagged both freights and flyers,
All women wearing red skirts found
on the line OF the company will BE-
snmmarily arrested and the detectives
have been instructed to try to keep
the offenders off the line This is
evidently a covert blow at the red flag

LETTER NO. 2.

Dear sir: I received your letter of January 22d, and have mailed you, in accordance with my agreement made last Wednesday evening, a written statement duly signed, that in my judg- ment the republicans of New Haven have a legal right to adopt the rule con- corning the nomination of candidates for state senators known as Rule Il.
 Your letter of January 22, however, contains three questions. The first two questions are substantially answered in the right of the republicans of New Ha- ven to adopt Rule No. Il. The third question, however, relates to different matter, to wit: Whether the city con- yention has ample right to make the changes in the rules which it assumed to do. and in your letter you call atten- lion to the former rules of the party in relation to what shall be specified in the calls for primaries. Under the circum- stances, I am willing to answer this third question.

OBITUARY NOTES.
Henry coweii.

Henry Cowell, who for some years past has been retired from business, but who has been for years one of New Haven's best known citizens, died at his home. 1SS Greene street. about 4:SO yesterday morning. MT. Cowell was seventy-four years of age. He suffered a stroke of paralysis a few days since. and this was responsible for his death. His health had been poor for the last year.
 Deceased was born in Woodbridge on the Seymour road, about half mile from the John M. Lines place. He was first employed in the old rubber shop at Mt. Carmel, which was at that time conducted by the late Leverett Candee, founder of the Candee Rubber company. and MT. Goodyear, whose patents have been used extensively in the rubber shoe industry since. He was afterward a photographer, and later conducted the Park house. which was located on Chapel street, near Gregson alley. the ground of which is now occupied by the new Malley building.
 MT. Cowell was a shrewd business man and his early investments proved his sagacity and in consequence he amassed enough money to retire from business about middle life. His property and in vestments oe other natures have since
 been productive of nice incomes. and
 MT. Cowell has been comparatively in active in a business way since that time.
 He was oe a coterie who built the new Glebe building at the corner of Church and Chapel streets, and was still at the time of his death, one of the owners of the same. He had various other real estate holdings, and is said to have been worth about S15000O.
 Deceased is survived by widow and one brother. Webster. who still resides in the old Woodbridge homestead. A daughter died about twenty years ago. Another brother. David, for years con- ducted the Cowell restaurant on State street, previously the Tom Hawkins restaurant, and another brother, Dan liel, was for years a prominent pho tographer, and had his studio on Chapel street, in the Whittlesey building. MT. Cowell was member of several fraternal organizatio The funeral services will be held tomorrow after noon at 2:3O o'clock and will be con- ducted by the Rev. George Foster Pren- tiss, pastor of the Davenport Congrega- tional church.

take up the subject of changing the rules. if it should see fit so to do- Since receiving your letter, have seen the call and notices published in the news papers last spring, under which the late city convention which changed the rules, was held. The published call be- gins at the top Of the column under the heading ''Political' and the regular no- tice is signed by Theodore H. AIacdon- ald, chairman of the republican town committee. In this notice Mir. Aacdon- aid, after stating that the republican electors will meet for sundry purposes April 1. 1908. adds "and concerning changes in the rules. Following this notice of the chairman is a notice signed by the chairman of each ward to the electors of the several wards. of the place where they will meet on April 1, for the purposes named. The chairman Of your ward-in common with the chairmen of the other wards-did not repeat in his notice of the place for the meeting, the language of Mir. Macdon- aid concerning the changes in the rules. As the local ward notices, however, are published under the general call signed by the chairman of the town committee, think the spirit of the rule about the notice is complied with, and that every eleetor who is interested had ample op- portunity knowing for what purposes Mir Macdonald directed the city and town conventions to be held.
 The omission of the ward chairmen to repeat, in their local calls, this portion of Chairman Macdonald's general mo- tice. is very slight and technical de- parture from the letter of the rule con cerning what shall be specified in the calls for primaries. Chairman Macdon- aid did specify the changes of the rules; and the authority of the ward chairmen to call the local meetings was derived solely from MT. Macdonald's notice. You, and the few members of the con- vention who sympathize with you, took more or less active part in the discus sion before the subcommittee prepar- | ing changes of rules, and notwithstand- 1 ing the technical defect in the ward calls, some of you prepared minority report, changing the rules in several re- spects. Twoof these changes were adopt ed unanimously at the city convention. Therefore, having thereby waived the petty technicality of the omission in the ward notices, it is certainly now too late for you to put in this little plea in abatement after judgment has gone against you by vote of fifty-seven rep resentative republicans of New Haven against a minority of seven.
 Yours truly
