MAY BE TIED UP.
Hartford's Proposed Ar. mory Struck a Snag
 To-Day.

Hartford, June 6.-Should the house sustain the action of the senate this ! morning in adopting the adverse ma jority report of the committee on mili- tary affairs on the findings of the state arsenal and armory commission, which reconsidered the erection of an armory on the Main street site in Hartford and the appropriation of $500,000 for the structure and land, the matter will be delayed for two years at least. Senator Clark in explaining the re- port said that substitute bill would be introduced in the house recommend ing the appointment of commission by the governor to consider plans for an armOry on the Roundhouse site and to submit its report to the next gen. eral assembly.
 Senator McGovern, member of the commission, strongly advocated the Main street site. Senator Clarke, in taking the floor again, said he deemed it unwise to pay $14O,OOO for the Main street property when it owned the Roundhouse site, superior location for an armory.
 Senator Bicknell moved that the minority report of the committee be substituted for the majority and the latter's rejection. By yea and nay vote it was lost, 21 to 9. The majority report was then accepted and the mi n0rity report rejected.
 Senator Fessenden's trio of bills which were designed to do away with discrimination in railroad rates; were rejected by the senate this morning. Senator Bradstreet explained that the committee had reported the bills ad- versely on Senator Fessenden's re- quest.
 The feature of tO-day's house session was the rejection by an overwhelming majority of the bill reducing the tax on savings bank deposits from one quarter to three-sixteenths per cent.

FOOD WE EAT.
Inspector Who Will Here- after Have Something
 to Say About It.

For the first time in it's history Wa terbury is now provided with q food Inspector and if he attends to his du- ties he will be one of the busiest men in town from now on. Under the new health laws the power to appoint q milk and food inspector now devolves on the board of public health and the commissioners got together yesterday afternoon and chose Milk Inspector John A. Sundin to fill both positions until January ], 1906. This will set dealers in all kinds of things in the market thinking as to how they can manage to dispose of inferior stock and yet not run counter with the inspector. A prominent business man said today that the food inspector can do great deal of good if he wants to and on the other hand he will be in position to make lots of unnecessary trouble by making demands for the throwing away of many articles of food which have always been disposed of at big sacrifice and came in just right for poor people who couldn't afford to purchase them when they were what is termed really fresh. In most cases such stock is as good as the market af- fords, but people of means prefer to take what comes in from day to day and let what has been in a few days go to others. It is not thought that MT Sundin will be unreasonable in his demands upon anybody but 1t is under stood that he will put a stop to the sale of articles of food whicn are not fit for human beings to eat, and it is said that a lot of such truck has been palm ed off on honest people in Waterbury for several years past.
 The board passed a splitting orii- nance which will make everybody be a little more careful that using about expectorating on sidewalks and other places which it is intended to keep free from such objectionabl matter. It will be printed in a day or so and will then become operative. Look out for it.

CAUGHT CRIBBING.
Law Shool Student Debarred From
 Trying For Degrees.

IIyulS UT DeSIeeS.
 New Haven, June 6.-The statement before one of the classes in the Yale law school that in the future men would have to keep their examination papers on top of their desks and in full sight, has brought to light the fact that for degrees has been caught cribbing, which Is a more or less serious offense in the eyes of the undergraduate body, and so serious in the eyes. of the fac ulty that he will never again be per mitted to take an examination for q degree from the school. The offender is Samuel Alderman of this city, who was member of the class of 1904, but failed to graduate, and who was admit ted to the bar here last fall.
 Alderman had gone into the examina- tion in private corporations, having had permission from the faculty to try for a degre again this year. He was seated near William r. Lemke, who is one of the most brilliant men in the class. The supervisor who had charge of the examination paced up and down the room and then went down q mar row aisle on the outside of the seats. When he came opposite Alderman he bent over and lifted up the paper on which were printed the questions that Alderman had been working on. It was found that the answers to the questions had been written on it. The paper was turned over to the faculty, who voted that Alderman should never be allowed to again take examinations for degree from the school.
 It was found afterwards that the pa per was one that had been given to Lemke. He was called up before a meeting of the faculty but was con- pletely exonerated. His statement was to the effect that he had taken til. paper and, as many of the men do, had written out some of the answers on it in the way of memorandum. He then placed the paper on the seat beside him which happened to be on the side toward Alderman. His story was ac- cepted by the faculty.

BUCKS HILL soUABBLE.

The question of costs is the feature now under discussion in court in con nection with the injunction which VII liam Tyler of Bucks Hill obtained re- gently preventing the district from building a school house on the so-called Foster lot. This matter was heard by Judge Peasley in the district court this morning. Mir Tyler through his coun- sel said his reasons for having the in junction issued was to prevent the school from being built on the Foster lot, and to have a new site selected. A meeting had been called some time ago to have a site determined to call in the board of education of Naugatuck, as the law provides in eases of dispute of this kind. This body selected two sites before the Foster lot was decided upon. The district did not want to build on the Foster lot. because 1t was inconvenient to reach and costly. Yet 1t was bought for $500. At the meet ing above referred to only three votes were cast for that site. Concluding his evidence Mir Tyler said he was not and is not an official of the district but he voiced the opinions of a great many of the voters. and he had the backing of them in the injunction proceedings.
 Counsel for the opposition held MT Tyler did not prove his case and there fore he was liable for the costs. It will be recalled that Mr Tyler withdrew the injunction. Decision was reserved.

KNIGHTS
 IN WRECK. Boston Special Has
 Close Call.
Several of the Delegates Cut and Bruised - Su. preme Knight Hearns' Address at Convention.

Los Angeles, Cal, June 6.-The BOs- ton special bearing 250 Knights of Col umbus and visitors, which arrived here to-day over the San Pedro, Los An geles and Salt Lake road, was delayed by wreck at Caliente in which the passengers in two cars of the train had narrow escape from death. Two coaches jumped the track as result, 1t is thought, of spreading rails, and tore up considerable length of track. Several of the knights sustained slight cuts and bruises. A serious wreck was averted only by reason of the fact that the train was running only about seven miles an hour.
 Supreme Knight Hearn reviewed the work of the order during the preced- ing year. He recommended at the out set that the state council celebrate an annual memorial mass on February p to commemorate the dead of the order. He recommended for consid- eration by officers of all the state coun- cils the question of obtaining greater growth by inangurating some plan for infusing new life and renewed en- thusiasm into their members. This work, he thought, could be best ac- complished through the state head quarters. He also favored the con- centration of efforts on the most de- serving of the charitable projects which come before the various coun- cils. With reference to the question of finance Mir Hearn expressed the opinion that some changes should be made in the laws controlling the in vesting of the funds without in any way lessening the safeguards that have been built up for the protection of the orders interest He further recommended the consideration of the adoption of level rate plan of assess ments, to be operated in conjunction with the present step rate plan of as. sessment. He believed also that the day was not far distant when it would be advisable to consider the matter of advanced premiums payable quarterly, semi-annually or annually in advance.
 Speaking of the growth of the order during the year, Mir Hearn told of his anticipation that before the close of the present year orders would be in- troduced into Mexico and possibly into Porto Rico and Cuba. He felt that the growth of the movement through out Canada was now assured because under authority of the board Of direS tors the rituals are now being trans lated into the French language.

IN THE COURTS.
H. A. Hatcher Declared Not Guilty By Jury In Dis.
 trict Court.

The case of Henry A. Hatcher, jani- tor of the Friendly League hall, was the only one tried at the criminal side of the district court which opened and closed to-day. Judge Cowell presided in the forepart and Judge Peasley in the latter. Hatcher was charged with abusing and resisting Officer Joseph Stevens.
 One evening few months ago Hatcher and a few other men served as walters at spread given by the Abagadasset club. It was early morn when the party started for home. Sea- geant Cahey heard them in bolster ous conversation on Bank street and advised them to get home. Soon after Officer Stevens had occasion to give them the same advice on the green. Hatcher started for Leavenworth street and the others went their way. The officer claimed that Hatcher was noisy and abusive. At all events Hatcher went to the police station to see what his rights were, and one of the questions for the jury to determine was whether he had been arrested on the street or in the police station. Him. self admitted that he kicked like a steer against being put in cell. He claimed to have been absolutely sober.
 Miss Anna l.. Ward, president of the Friendly League said the accused al- ways bore first class reputation. Judge Cowell said he had been his ser want at Mantle on two occasions, that he did not drink there and if man drank anywhere it surely would be at Mantle. A number of others testified in a similar strain and the jury after being out half an hour returned yer dict of not guilty. In the city court Hatcher was fined S1O and costs from which he appealed.
 Abraham Mahl, junk dealer, pleaded guilty to dealing in scrap metal without license and was fined S25 and costs, which amounted to $62. A number of other cases of minor i'm portance went through the usual pro- cess, settlement. The term lasted about three hours.

LONGER COURT TERMS.

Beginning with this month five weeks will be added to some of the terms of the superior court held here.

New Haven contrived to block the way to success, but persistency has won at last Yesterday Judge Gager of the superior court informed some members of the bar that the allotment committee saw the justice of the bars petition for better accommodation, and the absolute need of immediately granting it. How the additional five weeks will he distributed among the four terms. February, May. June and October was not stated. 1t is hoped, however that the fall term will be pro ionged.
