SIMMONS IN BED
Lea ding Han Not Able to Go to Court
 -Cass Postponed

The cases against the three employees of Jacques theater for assaulting Earle Simmons Thursday night on the stage after the final act of Monte Cristo' was continued in the city court today to Monday by agreement of counsel. Simmons is not hurt very much. and in comparison to what his injuries were by common report. he may be said to not have been hurt at all. The reports were most extravagant and in connection with them it was strange to hear the comments. Scarcely word of sympathy was heard. but on the other hand. neither was any pleasure expressed Those who know the &C., cused. Henry Delaney, Joseph Lynch and Martin Meyers. say that they must have been grievously provoked by Sim mons before assaulting him. They arc young fellows who have reputation to sustain in this city, their home. None of them was ever before in trou- ble. They have engaged Attorney Harry w. Minor to defend them, and AIr Minor said this morning that if the cases come to trial Simmons will have more wounds to nurse and of a different nature than he has at pres- ent. Mir Minor would not explain what he meant by this singular state- ment.
 Dr Moriarty who is attending Sim mons said that in a general way he is not hurt very much. A bump or two on the head and a strain of a tendon in the right leg sums up the amount of his discontinue. If he manages to keep still between now and Monday the doc tor said the man ought to be able to appear in court. Just little irrita+'"n of the tendon is the most serious trouble. Regarding Lynch's connec- ton with the matter. he says he was up in the flies attending to the final drop scene when the TOW took place and consequently he could not have taken part in it. Myers denies touching the man but Delaney admits throwing him. but claims to have been provoked beyond endurance.

BARRELS ENOUGH
An Interested One Says There is No
 Room For Barrel Factory.
Dear Editor.

Dear Editor:
 In reading your most valuable paper last evening l came across an article referring to the manufacture of new barrels. In regard to this, trust you will allow me a little space in your pa per to state a few facts.
 The manufacturing concerns of Wa terbury use a large number of barrels but these are by no means new barrels. They are picked up day after day from our stores. repaired and then sold to local firms and are used for packing purposes. scrap. etc.
 As to market for new barrels III Waterbury. there is none worth con- sidering. Local firms find that sound clean second hand flour or sugar barrel is much cheaper and serves their pur pose just as well as any new barrel of recent manufacture.
 Besides when one considers the high prices of hoops, heading. slaves. etc, the labor. fuel and cartage. together with the large outlay of cash such an enterprise would entail and on the other hand. considers the scant de- mand for new barrels in this city. where second hand barrels are satis- factory. one can readily see this would indeed be very unwise undertaking.
 At present new 17 IS inch barrels cost 4Oc and 19 inch barrels 4Jc f. O. D. cars New York City: so it is unneces- sary for me to state while local manu- facturers can purchase sound, clean sec ond hand flour and sugar barrels much chaeper (and this class barrels much thus far met with their approvan. It is not likely they will or have purchased new barrels.
 l do not hesitate to state that the Healey Cooperage Co, the largest bar rel and cOoperage stock dealers ill this city or Frederick A. Scott. who also deals in second hand stock, would readily engage in the manufacture of new barrels, if the demand was sui ficient.
 However, as stated above cooperage stock is too high and new barrels will not (nor have not been) be purchased in quantities worth considering. unless the supply of secand hand barrels in Waterbury and neighboring cities proves inadequate. and this will hard ly come to pass.
 Trusting you will find space for this in your paper.
 I remain,
 AN INTERESTED ONE.

TALK CANAL DIGGING
Roosevelt, Shonts and Stevens
 In Conference.
GANG OF TWELVE THOUSAND AT WORK
Taking Care of Laborers Itself . Great Task-Amusements Provid- ed-Fever Reports Have Been
 Greatly Exaccerafed.

OYSTER BAY, \. T.. July 15.- Chairman Shonts and Chief Engineer Stevens had a long conference with the president at his summer home, Sagamore Hill. It was the first oppor- tunity the president had had to dis cuss canal matters with Mir. Stevens. and they went over the subject pretty thoroughly. AS both MT. Shonts and Mir. Stevens expect to sail for Panama on the 20th inst. the president desired to consult with them before their de- parture.
 It is not likely that Mir. Stevens will he made in the near future a member of the executive committee of the Panama canal commission. a position occupied by his predecessor. Mir Wal lace. It can be said that Mir Stevens has been given practically free hand to do the construction work of the canal. He has his own ideas about the methods to he pursued and will not be interfered with in the work of his department.
 His desire is to dig the canal. and to that great undertaking he will devote all his energy and ability. leaving the executive and administrative details to be worked out by Chairman Shonts. Governor MagOon and the commission.
 After the conference with the presi- dent Chairman Shonts talked frankly about the work of the commission and about canal conditions
 Our talk with the president" said he. was of a general character about canal matters. The president desired to see MT. Stevens before we left for the isthmus and to discuss with both of us the progress of the work.
 Just now We have about 12000 men at work on the canal. This is about as many as we could employ under the existing conditions. We have our ex- ecutive staff thoroughly organized now. but the organization has not been completed on the isthmus. That is part of the work Mir Stevens will have to do, His engineering staff must he organized and its work mapped out. We must make arrangements for the housing. feeding and general care of our employees. in itself a great task. and we must complete the sanitary ar engagements in the American zone. All this will require time and energy and hard work. but it will he accomplished successfully have about concluded arrangements with man who is to go to the isthmus -p arrange for the rec reation of the canal employees.
 We will have reading rooms. amuse- ment halls and all that sort of thing. hy means of which the men may pass their idle hours pleasantly and profit ably.

"FADs AND FANCIES" HIGH.
Town Topics Got Many Subscribers
 at &1,SOO Per.

NEW YORK, July 15.-Assistant Dis trict Attorney Krotel. in connection with his investigation of the case of blackmail pending against Charles H. Ahle, solicitor for the Society Editors association, examined M Ellis Woos- ter, managing editor of that concern; William l.. Daniels. treasurer of the tary of the Town Topics Publishing company, and Charles Stokes Wayne, managing editor of Town Topics and editor in chief of America Smart Set" Much of the testimony taken referred to the work that is being published by the Town Topics company. under the title of "Fads and Fancies," at $1,5O0 copy.
 It was learned from Wooster and cor roborated both by Daniels and by Jus tice Deuel. who is one of the three di- rectors of the Town Topics company. that the total edition of this work, which is still unpublished, although the soliciting of subscriptions for 1t be- gan close to four years ago and closed two years ago, will comprise only 100 copies, It was furthermore learned that of the S150OOO paid into the treas ury of the Town Topics company by the subscribers one-half. or very near ly that much. went to Wooster in his double role of originator of the idea of the work and solicitor of all the subscriptions but three or four
 Much about Pads and Fancies' was learned from Louis H. Orr of the printing firm of Bartlett & Co. Let me tell you something that is not known-Sl500 was only the minimum subscription for Pads and Fancies.' There were large number of copies for which three and four times that price has been paid. For one copy 5000 has been paid"
 Subpoena servers are still looking for members of the Vanderbilt. Astor and other families of the Four Hun dred. Mir. krotel is very anxious to learn why they subscribed for Amer ica's Smart Set" at $500 clip and whether or not they were threatened.
