SHORT CALENDAR
"rhs Clerk l. . Lar, Said Astornsy
 Rogers This nersinS.

The proceedings of short calendar in the district court to-day before Judge Cowell were considerably en- livened by Stilt between Attorneys Byrne and Rogers. The difficulty was over motion concerning the suit of James E. Smith, ct al.. against Susan Coyle. MT Byrne claimed the case had been taken from the jury list and Mir Rogers held that it had not. :.
 "It was taken of three weeks ago." said MT Byrnes in stentOrian tones, ''the clerk told me so"
 E If the clerk told you 50 he IS a liar.Y replied Mir Rogers in a voice as high as Mir Byrne's.
 "The clerk told me 1t was taken off" repeated Mir Byrne, "and that your motion was antedated three weeks"
 "The clerk is liar if he says so. and I don't care who he is,' replied Mir Rogers.
 Well" said Judge Cowell, "the clerk is away now"
 This did not quell the storm. As sistant Clerk Gillette produced the motion from the files. but it cast no light on the issue. It was dated April 20, but it did not show when it had been received by the clerk. Judge Cowell would not listen to the angry lawyers any longer and the matter had to 20 over. The case Is for fore closure. and while such cases are not generally tried to a jury. MT Rogers claims there are clements in-this that should be given a hearing before a jury

 Ter . Greeting Tn Esrepe.
 NEW YORK. May 2o-"You want to brace up. John. Have good time. Let other people save their own souls for . time"
 This greeting, accompanied by . hearty slap on the back. was made by Charles N. schwab upon meeting John D. Rockefeller, IT,. while abroad. ac- cordiue to friends of the former who met him upon his arrival on the big White Star steamship Baltic. The pale face of the son of America's wealthiest man caueed Mir. schwab to advise him to abandon his hard work for . time and seek more recreation.
 It was said that Mir. echwsb had been greatly shocked by young Mfr. Roekefeller's changed appearance The latter returned from abroad recently and looked thinner and paler than he dd when he irst went away. IL was this that caused Mfr echwab to pro6er the young millionaire the advice to brace up.- which, while made in q jovial manner. was really full of mean ing from Mir. echwab's point of view The rumor that Mir. Schwab had failed to get the order from the Rus sian sovesument to rehabIlItate their navy would not be discussed by him.

END OF STRIKE IN VIEW.
President shea Trying to Secure
 Good Terms For Teamsters.

President shea Trying to Secure
 Good Terms For Teamsters.
 CHICAGO. May 20.-All the indica- tions point to the end of the teamsters' strike within a short time. it being so predicted by both employers and labor leaders. President Shea of the Team sters' union last night met Attorney Mayer, who has full authority to settle the strike for the Employers associa- ton. at the Auditorium snnex.
 Shea and Mayer refused to state what matters were under considera- tfon. but from other sources if was learned that President Shea was msk- ing an effort to secure the best terms possible for his men before consentlna to recommend that the strike be called of. After the meeting Shea reported directly to the teamsters'' joint council. which met at the union headquarters.
 The sole power of calling of the strike rests with this body. and t was freely predicted on all sides during the early part of the night that 1t would at some time today announce that the end had come.

NO FOREIGN SHIPS.
Canal Commissioners to Await Action
 of cengress.

< WASHINGTON, May 2O.-The isth. milan canal commission will buy no ships abroad, according to decision reached by the department. but will charter the vessels necessary for the needs of transportation until congress has an opportunity to take action and give the commission q definite policy on which to act.
 If congress at the next session fails to stipulate that the commission buy American material and ships only, then the commission will go ahead and buy wherever it can secure the necessary ships and materials cheapest.
 Tn explanation of this decision 1t Is announced further that the canal com mission, Secretary Taft and the presi- dent have no desire to take advantage of congress by the existing circum- stances and that the commission is per fectly willing to suspend action rela- tive to the purchase of ships until con gress has chance.
 The canal commission has had in view two 5000 ton vessels which could be purchased abroad immediately. The necessity of having these ships and the impossibility of securing American bot toms caused the decision of few days ago to buy foreign steamers. This plan has now been changed, and vessels will only be chartered. Whether the chart cred vessels will be foreign or Ameri- can bottoms depends upon the prices asked.
 Francis B. Loomis, assistant secre. tary of state, has filed with Secretary Taft an answer to allegations contain. ed in certain papers Mir. Bowen has offered as evidence and which Mir. Bowen sent to Secretary Hay in Feb ruary. With the presentation of Mir. Loomis' statement the case will be closed unless MT. Bowen desires to make some answer to MT. Loomis' latest communication. MT. Loomis' statement will be sent to Mir. Bowen fmmediately. Every document fk the case is to be copied, and when this has been done Secretary Taft will review the case and make his decision to the president.
 It is probable that all the papers in the case will be made public when the investigat ton is closed and final dc. cision reached.
 Two witnesses have been examined Eenor Pastor y Mora, for some years local agent for the New York and Der. mudez Asphalt company at Caracas appeared before the president few days ago. He was sent to the White House by Mir. Bowen.
 Henry Willard Bean of New York at one time general manager for the asphalt company in Caracas. has made long statement to Secretary Taft Mir. Bean was in Caracas in his capac ity as manager during the time wher the $10,00O check episode occurred. Il is understood that his evidence is dc cidedly in favor of Mr. Loomis. al though the latter did not request t have him summoned.

BOARD OF EDUCATION.
Gardening Will Be Taught at the
 Webster School.

Another branch will soon be added to the curriculum of the public schools. It is gardening, so that if a pupil doesn't turn out to be scholar he might easily be gardener. At the board of education meeting held last evening, Superintendent Tinker in a long letter to the board recommended that school garden be opened at the Webster school, and on motion of Commissioner Larkin it will be tried as an experiment. Mir Tinker in his recommendation said that while the idea is new hereabOuts 1t is an estab- lished thing in most schools in the west and south. The school is to be under the supervision of Principal Madigan, who has been for some time and will continue studying the meth. ods of the idea in the horticultural school in Hartford. The plot will first have to be plowed and the rest will be done by the pupils. Each grade will have turn at the plot, which will be subdivided into smaller plots.
 Applications from Margaret Grey for teaching in the grades and Louise A. MOhl for an appointment as sew ing teacher were filed. It was voted to have the walks around the Driggs schoa ;reraiied.""; It was announced that the Bucks Hill district has at flast purchased site for new school and that the Waterville dis trict will tear down the old frame building on it's premises and erect a modern structure in its place. The lower rooms of this building will be used as a kindergarten which will be opened in September.
 The board voted to accept the invi- tation of Wadhams post c. A. R.. to attend the lecture in City hall Thurs day evening by W. D. GOurlay.
 Clerk Fitzgerald was instructed to notify the Naugatuck board of educa- 'tion that the Bucks Hill district is re- sponsible for their expenses on their recent visit. here and helping to se- lect school site. The board then ad- journed.

PROCEEDINGS AGAINST
 PASQUALE GENEVA

The bankruptcy proceedings against Pasquale Geneva, who kept saloon on South Main street, are becoming quite interesting. At the hearing before Referee Newton in New Haven yester- day claims for $1, 400 for goods sold and $1.3OO for alleged claims by relatives and friends were gone over. It is held by the creditors that the latter claims are bogus and at the previous hearing Referee Newton stated if they were not proved manifest perjury was com mitted and the claimants were likely to find themselves in serious trouble. These parties claim they loaned Gen eva sums ranging from $1O to $2OO. They tried hard to have their selection for trustee, Edward Hellmann, ap- pointed, but were defeated, Attorney F.. B. Kelley being the selection of the referee and the choice of the other creditors. There will be another hear ing next Friday.
