Justice Davis Freely Criticized For
 Nan Patterson Accusatfon.
 NEW YORK. May 17. = Lawyers throughout the city are commenting on Justice Davis remarks on the Nan Patterson case. The justice declared. among other things. that the actress held the pistol with which Caesar Young was sfiot and discharged 1t and that she lied repeatedly on the stand.
 Abraham Levy. also of counsel for Miss Patterson. was also greatly sur prised when he learned of the speech made by Justice Davis.
 'T will not make any comment until I give Justice Davis words serious con- sideration," he said. Tt is too grave . matter. and, be being a justice of the supreme court, 1t would not become me to enter into a controversy with him without thorough deliberation. I may have statement to make later"
 Justice Davis remarks were made at the banquet of the Phi Delta Phi club. He said:
 Today. in the light of the last dis agreement, I feel sure that most peo- pie are convinced-fhat a majority of the people believe-that the pistol that killed Caesar Young was held by Nan Patterson. was discharged by her and was bought by J. Morgan Smith"

srANDPlPE CONE.
Junction of Bank anl cfanl Stroee
 Ril of Eyesere.

The unsightly standpipe that has 70 long been an eyesore at the junction of Grand and Bank streets. was re- moved to-day and when the place h cleaned up 1t will look better than ever before. The only landmark now re- maining there is the huge elm tree. but nobody wants that disturbed and the authorities will make no mistake by leaving 1t there. It might be well to put nice iron railing around 1t to protect it from being damaged by horses and teams Somebody has said that the tree will have to go, too, but the public will not believe anything of the kind until the axe Is applied to 1t. and unless this is done fin the night time there are enough citizens Inter ested in it's preservation to get out. an injunction restraining the powess thae be from harming it. Let that tree re- main there. It knows more about tho place than most of us do and its good behavior and advanced age should en- title it to home at the old stand n long as it lives.

QuARRELED WITH WIFE.
Put Ballet in Brain Whsn Shs Weald
 Not Return.

New Haven, May 11.-GeOrge U. Dickerman, the Mt Carmel farmer who had his farmland, James Clancy. sent to states prison for assaulting his wife. a few weeks ago, put bullet in his brain yesterday, near the home of John Fenn, just over the boundary line be tween Mt Carmel and Cheshire. His death was instantaneous and was wit messed by his wife, who had refused to go back to his home with him.
 Dickerman's troubles have been aired in the courts for several weeks. He was G years old and when Clancy's 8 case came to trial he was wanted to testify for the state. but refused to at- tend the court session. He and his wife were summoned and finally agreed to testify. The state found Clancy guilty and sentenced him to one years Imprisonment.
 The next surprise was the filing of papers in a suit for divorce on the grounds of infidelity brought by Dick 1t is understood. was the result of a quarrel between the couple several days ago. Mrs Dickerman packed up her belongings and went to the home of the Fenns, who are relatives of hers.
 Yesterday morning the suit for di- yorce brought by Dickerman was with drawn by his counsel. Attorney Hay den. He had paid Hayden large fee in advance and when the latter ex. pressed surprise at his action he de clared he had right to change his mind if he wanted to.
 About noon yesterday Dickerman hitched up his driving team and rode out to Cheshire, where he called on his wife. What passed between them is not definitely known. It is understood by the neighbors that he begged her to return to their former home and on failing to get her consent walked away a few feet from the house, pulled out a revolver and fired.

WAS IT PASTE.
Woman Got Diamond Ffon Lover
 Which She Says is Wssth Sl2.

The answer to the complaint in the breach of promise suit of George Bay ard against Alice Wrai of Abbott ave hue was filed to-day by Attorney Lau- Der, who represents the defendant. Nr Lauber sets up that there was no promise of marriage given, and that even if there were it would not be legal inasmuch as the fair defendant Is still an infant, being only 19 years Of age and therefore incompetent to make contract. Bayard. who is rep resented by Attorney Kelley, contends that his affections have been seriously damaged and that nothing less than a 5000 plaster of greenbacks will alIay the agony of his wounded feelings and dignity, not to mention at all about eompensating him for the many nicO things he gave Alice. such as pretty gold watch and chain and charm last Christmas. gold locket, heart shaped, studded with diamonds, and diamond ring. which the plaintiff says cost $50. As to the cost Of the last named there is wide difference of opinion. the fair defendant through her counsel having had it examined by a com petent jeweler, who said 1t was fully worth SIP.
 But these things cut no figure with the plaintiff now. It Is satisfaction ho wants and will have, he says.

YACHTS IN FOG.
Was Impossible to Se, Them From Shore at
 One O'clock.

New York, May 17.-Weather condi- tiOns early to-day were much more fa- yOrable for start of the yachts in the transatlantic race than on yesterday. Just before eight o'clock the wind was blowing eight knots an hour from the northeast, the sky was cloudy and the air clear At that time it was pos sible to clearly observe objects ren miles away. The Sunday Hook light ship could be plainly seen from the highlands of Navesink.
 When the committee postponed yes terday's race it was planned to start the event to-day as near noon as pos sibie, with the preparatory gun at that hour and the actual starting gun fif- teen manutes later. Preparations to carry out this program were begun early, the committee tugreaching Sandy Hook at 8:30, three and a half hours before the event was scheduled to starr. The tug at once started on a tour among the yachts of the fleet It seemed almost certain at that time that there would be no postponement to- day. The wind held up well and the air continued fairly clear.
 Shortly after 10 o'clock the commit tee in charge of the race hoisted the signal Get ready for sea-" and the American yachts began leaving the bay. The first one to follow the Val halla and the Sunbeam out to the start was Commodore Tod's white schooner Thistle, closely followed by the yawl Ailsa. Tugs were alongside of several nfb ofc nd vloC out to sea at 1915. All the yachts in going out went just astern of the stranded Caronia and all were given signals of good luck by the big Cunarder.
 Tine first of the fleet to make sail was the little schooner Fleur de Lys which began hoisting her main sail at 9:15. Before the sail was up the Ger man schooner Hamburg started out of the bay in tow of tug. preparations being made to set her sails after get ting outside the Hook.
 The Sunbeam passed out by Sandy Hook at 10 o'clock but just before she reached that point the other English competitor, the ship Valhalla the larg- est vessel in the fleet came out of Sandy Hook bay in tow and preceded the Sunbeam out through the main ship channel At 10:1O three of the racers were on the way to the start while the others were preparing to follow immediately.
 At 12:15 the signal gun was fired and the ocean race for the cup offered by the German emperor started.
 At 1:15 fog rolled in from sea and plotted out all view from shore.

WAS HIS BUSY DAY.
Several Dissatisfied Property Ownsrs
 Visit Engineers 0mce.

Several rounds of ammunition were fired at City Engineer Cairns yesterday by people who appeared before the board of public works, and al times it looked as if he was bound 10 be laid low in the cannonading. but after the storm blew over he hadn't lost feather and appeared as happy as if nothing unusual had happened. John Gilmour first shied few missiles at the engineer. but with endorsements from the plumbing establishment MT Gilmour was vanquished. but not con- quered. and withdrew still in a fight
 ing attitude Then Otto l.. Deshand of Walnut avenue manned the breast works and let fire at the engineer by charging him with refusing to issue him a sewer permit for his houses on Walnut avenue on the ground that the route he wanted to take 10 the build ing will some day he used as q street. He said he owned that lot and paid sewer assessment of S90 on It and did not see why he should be denied per init to connect with the sewer which he had settled for. Chairman Wade requested Mir Dechand to bring in map of his property. This made the gentleman madder than ever and he replied by stating that he considered such tactics arbitrary and inquired if he would have to go to the expense of paying for map and lose another half day fin order to get what he was enti- tied to without all this red tape. At this junctlIre the engineer brought the war of words to an abrupt termination by informing Mir Dechand that if his statements were true he should have no trouble in getting his permit. add ing that the plumber VI, called for it must have misststed the case else there would have been no trouble about it. This satisfied the Walnut avenue man and he left apparently fin a happy frame of mind while the engineer leaned back in his chair and smiled.

AGAINST
 LABOR.
Gov. Douglas Issues
 Statement.
Says Restoration of Wages is Not Warranted-Busi. ness Conditions Have Been Poor.

Boston, May 17.-In a statement is- sued to-day Gov William l.. Douglas as referee in the settlement of the Fall River textile strike of 1904, finds that a partial restoration of wages is not warranted. When the strike was set tied in January last through Gov Douglas intervention, he was empow- cred to fix margin of profit at which operatives would receive an increase of wages. The governor reports that the conditions during the months between January and April were not such as to warrant an increase
 The strike which affected about 25.- OO0 persons was begun in July. 1904. to resist cut of 12h per cent in wages. The strike lasted nearly six months, at the end of which time the operatives returned to work with the reduction in effect The strikers went back in consequence of the amicable intervention of Gov Douglas and the agreement was that the governor should. after investigation. decide up on what margin the mill owners could grant an increase of per cent up 10 April of this year.
 Gov Douglas finds that 1t would re- quire a margin of seventy-four and thirty-eight one hundredths cents be tween the price of cloth and it's equiya- lent in unmanufactured cotton to pay the requested increase of per cenr in wages earned during the time which his investigation covered. This mar gin would allow six per cent for mill and per cent for annual de- precation.
 While the exact margin of profit which prevailed during the period of investigation is not exactly known since it is matter of which the manu- facturers alone have knowledge, it is understood that it was under seventy cents.
 The governor offers no direct recom- mendation bearing on the Fall River situation.

Judge Pearne's Plea for the Consolidated

Hartford, May 17.-After the special order of business in the house today the bill repeating sections Of the gen. eral railroad law was called up by Speaker Holcomb. Judge Pearne, chairman of the railroad committee, which reported fayorably, explained it's purpose and made strong plea for protection of the New Haven railway $ interest in the state. He thought it wiser to protect New England enter prise rather than to encourage for eign, hostile company in the state. The New York Central survey, he said, was only a club to make the New Haven road give up some of its privileges and holdings. The bill was passed by ris- ing vote, 122 to 5S.
 A bill authorizing the city of Wa terbury to issue City hall bonds was reported fayorably.
