Nanufactaring Interests Opposing
Agricultural appropriations.

Bridgeport. Dec. II (SpecaD.-whle farming in
Connecticut is not by any means the industry from
which the State receives its prosperity the farmers
seem TO be Of the opinion that the State should
make liberal appropriations to the various agri-
cultural schemes before the legislature At the last
session Of the legislature about 100000 was appro-
priated for various agricultural interests. This
amount was deemed liberal at the time but it does
not seem TO have satisfied the farmers who are
continually asking for appropriations for agricuIt-
ural purposes.
At the recent meeting of the Agricultural Society
IN Willmantic resolution passed indorsng
proposed biz TO ask the General Assembly for an
appropriation No amount specified. but. judg-
ing by past requests for appropriations this sort
the amount Will be big one.
This tendency OF the members OF the farming
districts Of Connecticut TO draw heavily upon the
State treasury for money with which TO experiment
along agricultural lines has long been resented by
the manufacturing interests Of the state
Said large manufacturer recently:
I DO not object TO the State appropriating a
reasonable amount OF money to develop the farm
fng industry or the State but do object appro-
sOriaIsnE money 10 develop farming and not aDpro-

CRANE 4NSWERS MADOO.
Defends Magistrates against Police
Commissioners Charges.

In his own behalf. and for his fellow magistrates
Magistrate Crane in Yorkville police court, yes
terday replied to the criticisms Of such officials
made by Police Commissioner McAdoo in an article
I'm a Sunday newspaper a week ago He said that
he believed the Police Commissioner was mistaken
IN supposing that the police magistrates, as rule,
were hostile to policemen. and that by unneces-
sary insistence upon technicalities they hamper
policemen from making good their cases.
Detective Sergeants Manning and Green, OF the
Central Office in arraigning three whom they
said they recognized as pickpockets and whom
they arrested crosstown surface cars Saturday
night. gave the magistrate the opportunity to reply
to Commissioner MoAdoo. The detectives had
found it impossible TO get compainants against
their prisoners, and admitting that they had no
evidence, they suggested that the men be dis
charged. But this did not suit the magistrate. Mr..
Crane then said:
This is the opportunity I have been looking for
for week to answer Police Commissioner McAdoo

magistrates.

that a professional thief should be treated as a

Butte Mont, Dec. II (SpeciaD.-"Montana has
left all competitors far behind in the OF cop
per production says State Mine Inspector Walsh
in his annual report just submitted to Governor
Toole. During 1902 the United States furnished
545 per cent of the worlds supply of copper and
during the calendar year of 1903 Montana produced
30 497 IT'S pounds or than 40 per cent of the
total production of the United States
Butte is the chief copper producing section Of the
State and Mr. Walsh estimates that, including
1905 Butte has produced the red metal to the ex-
tent Of $GO00O0000. If the mines of Butte were to
suspend operation for a single year there would be
a famine of the metal in the markets of the world.
The report states that Montana takes first place
not only In production but also in the use of the
most modern machinery and the most advanced
hods of mining Splendid surface plants for
hosting stamping smelling and refining the I'M

BAPrIsTs DISCUSS IMMIGRATION.
Interest, Not Sympathy, Cause of Cry for
Unrestricted Entrance, Says Clergyman.

AZ the Sunday afternoon peoples meeting in the
Faptist Church of the Epiphany yesterday the
principal address delivered by Immigration
Commissioner Robert Watchorn who spoke on
Immigration and Labor" He said that the gen
eral outcry against immigration IS that II tenos
to overcrowding in congested areas, that 1t weak
ems and debauches the franchise, that it tends to
lower the standard of living and to cut down the
rate of wages
Commissioner Watchorn thought that great care
should be taken TO the quality Of immigrants
admitted. and he believed that those developing
detects within three years after entering should
be expelled .
The Rev. Dr. Madison c. Peters said that go
per cent of the immigrants are common labo-ers
who enter into direct competition with the laborers
already in this country. The men who assist the
coming OF the oppressed are not gr1eving be-
cause the workmen in Europe are starving. but
they bring them here that they may get their
services at European wages"

IMMIGRANT APPEALS TO WASHINGTON
Whole Family at Ellis Island Ordered De-
ported Because of Idiot Child.

Johann Paetz has appealed to Washington from
the ruling OF the Ellis Island authorities. who
have ordered him and his family. consisting OF a
wife and four children, deported. There is an
idiot bow in the group, and under the present law
he is not permitted to enter. Paetz bases his ap-
peal on the fact that he owns property in Clay
ton Polk County, Wis, and is capable Of taking
care of his entire family.
He saws that the idocy Of the child is not OF an
alarming nature and the records OF the eXaInin-
ing board show that his case is not of the dan
gerous kind but the immigration authorities have
for months assumed a stringent attitude toward
this class Of aliens. The board holds that il
not send the boy back alone.
Paetz and his family arrived in this country last
week on the Vaderiand. He had been here be-
fore and bought the property IN Clayton, Wis,
where his brothers and other relatives live.
