GREET DIR. BRANDEGEE.
One Candidate Says Choice Broke
the State Machine.

Hartford, Conn. May 5.-The choice early to-
day of Congressman Frank B. Brandegee, of
New-LOndon representing the Sd Connecticut
District, to be the Republican candidate for
United States Senator to succeed the late
Orville II. Plat came at the end of a continu-
Gus series of balIoting IN q session which lasted
exactly twelve hours. and was at once made
unanimous.
State Senator Paige. Of Bridgeport. who was
himself a candidate in the caucus said to-day:
you may put it down that the greatest feature
of the caucus apart from recognizing the IN
deniable ability and the deserts of Congressman
Brandegee is that it has smashed the machine
that has 'hogged it over this State for many
years. There will be another machine but it
viii not hog things as its precedessor has done
It will give fair division Of the offices accord
ing to locality.
Asked If the headquarters of the new machine
would be in Bridgeport, the reply Of Mr.. Paige
was. We'll be there"
Congressman Frank B. Brandegee was born in
New-London. July S, 1864 He was educated at
Yale and admitted the bar in 1883, and the
same year represented his native town in the
legislature. The year following he elected
Corporation Counsel Of New-London, and held
the place for several terms. He was in the leg
islature again in 1899. and was chosen Speaker
of the House. In 1903 he was elected TO Con-
gress to fill the unexpired term of Congress

elected for the full term in 1904. He is a mem

STREET RAILWAY FIGHT.
Action to Prevent Tnterborough
Crossing Washington Bridge.

Bridge Commissioner Best and the Commits
siouer of Public Works Of the Borough Of The
Bronx have been served with a summons in a
taxpayers suit, instigated, it is said, by the
Union Railway interests, aiming 10 prevent the
city officials from granting any permits for the
occupancy of streets in The Bronx covered by
the franchise of the New-York City INTERIOR
ough Railway Company, Belmont corporation
1t is understood that injunction proceeding
will be brought by the Metropolitan interests
in order TO prevent the newer company from
laying tracks across the Washington Bridge.
The New-YorB City marlborough Company
obtained a franchise three years ago for about
forty-three miles OF streets in The Bronx. All
II lacked in order to go ahead with the work Of
LAYING rails was permission from the State
Railroad Commission. After a long light In the
courts II practically won its case. The Metro
DoIitan-ITnion interests naturally are hostile TO
the Interborough, and IT is assumed that the
taxpayers action is inspired by them Bridge

His Return to Police Force Is
Blocked by Court.

The Appellate Division of the Supreme Court
yesterday handed down decision affirming the
dismissal IN 1902 Of Police Sergeant James
Churchill who had been acting captain in 9TH
St and uuashing the writ of certiorari sued out
by him Commissioner Partridge dismissed
Churchill after a long and exhaustive trial.
Justice Mclaughlin, who writes the opirion OF
the court says that the evidence at ChurCh!lIs
trial showed that he failed to close many dens
Of vice in his precinct, that the character and
number Of people who resorted TO some Of them
Indicated this, as well as the practices therein
permitted. and that Churchill's testimony on
this subject is incredible and unworthy Of be-
lief" The justice adds:
The efficiency OF the police force is the only
thing which can prevent in great city ike
New-York the existence Of vice and the com
mission OF crime. II IS the protection which the
citizen has as 10 his person and property, ana
there cannot be an efficient police force II an
officer discharging the duties which the relator
assumed 10 discharge IS unable. by reason Of in
competency or unwilling, by reason Of being IN
league with Violators Of the law. 10 prevent the
commission Of crime TO the extent that the same
was committed in the 18th Precinct while he
was in charge. The court would be derelict IN
its duty if il did not in so far as il lies in its
power. place its stamp Of disapproval upon the
Gets Of an officer who by his inability-to use
no stronger terTn-perrnirs crime TO flourish as
il did IN this precinct.
The Telstor had q fair trial. The evidence
sUstains the findings OF the Commissioner, and
for that reason I think his order dismissing the
TelaIOr should be affirmed and the writ quashed,
with SO costs and disbursements.

The grand jury had no right to find an indict-
