NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. GO.
Governors Action Cause sPostponement
Club to Take Legal Steps.

Philadelphia, May 29-The twenty
round fight between Fitzsimmons and
Burns which was to have taken place
tonight before the Tuxedo Athletic
club at North Essington, ten miles from
this city, has been postponed until
Wednesday night of next week, as a
result of the order issued by the gov
ernor of Pennsylvania to the state con-
stabulary to prevent the bout. The Off
cials of the club will at once take legal
action with a view of holding the fight
on the new date. This was decided
upon late to-day after Captain John H.
Groome, superintendent of the state
police. had assured the club managers
that he intended to carry out to the let
ter the orders issued to him by Gov
ernor Pennypacker. A detachment Of
troops of the state police, commanded
by Lieutenant Smith, and numbering
about forty men, arrived at North Es-
sington from their barracks at Read
ing late this afternoon, but found they
were not needed as the club had cali
ed off the fight before they arrived.
The ywere not mounted, but each man
was armed and carried about 100
rounds of ammunition.
The postponement of the fight was a
great disappointment to thousands of
followers of the sport, many of whom
had come from other cities to see the
bout. F'itzsimmons and Burns arriv-
ed at North Essington to-day, and each
was in fine fettle for the fight. Their
managers criticised the authorities for
taking action at the eleventh hour, as
they were under great expense in pre-
pairing for the contest. A crowded
house was expected, two-thirds of the
seating capacity of the building hav-
ing been sold in advance.

A SAN FRANCISCO PARROT.

We were almost In the van of the
retreating host. AS we reached the
summit Of the hills we passed through
thousands Of watchers, who calmly
observed their mighty enemy writing
toward them. Before morning all Of
those thousands had joined our west
ward march. But in the mid-after-
noon we did not lack for company.
Delicate women bore rolls Of bedding
along the way Family groups laden
with blankets, provisions, canned goods
in soap boxes, clocks, mirrors, paint
ings, all manner Of possessions, went
by. One tot of six trudged along with
big package of breakfast food in his
chubby arms. 1 saw one young woman
carrying a glass globe alffull of wa
ter in which her precious goldfish were
darting about. A stepladder dashed to
a pair of baby carriages wheels made
a long truck on which brawny young
man had loaded a dozen suitcases or
more. Canary cages, coal sacks, and
every conceivable burden were borne
along on the backs of men, women and
children. High on great load of
trunks piled in an automobile, scream
ing out his disgust and voicing the
merry sentiments of the crowd around
him, a parrot squawked above the din,

TANDERB1LT ALLEN CASE.
His Paintings Considered Works of Art
by Critics.

Bridgeport, May 29.-The case of w.
Is. Vanderbilt Allen against DIR, F. d.
Rutland and the Westport Sanitarium
association for alleged false imprison-
ment was resumed in the civil superior
court to-day before Judge Edwin B..
eager and a jury. A number of wit
|nesses from Westport were present and
when put on the stand testified to what
they regarded as peculiarities of Mr.
Allen while at the sanitarium. The
counsel for the plaintiff claimed that
the Westport witnesses who were tes-
tifying regarding Mr.. Aliens alleged
peculiarities did not understand the ar
tistic temperament, and that many Of
the acts alleged by the witnesses to be
peculiar We're simply the vagaries of an
artistic temperament.
Nicholas Peredino, of New Haven
formerly night Waterman at the SAM
tarium, testified that it was a habit Of
Mr.. Aliens to pace up and down the
hallway after the other patients had
been locked in their rooms for the
night. He said Aliens room was not
locked.
Postmaster Charles Harris, of West
port, testified that Allen used to have
a great deal Of trouble with his mail
sent out lot of registered letters and
expected always many more than he
received. He said Allen would try to
claim letters that were not his. Other
witnesses testified as to what they con-
sidered Aliens queer doings.
Robert Reid, of New York city, who
did much of the decorating of the in
terror of the state house at Boston, was
witness this afternoon. He was call
ed to pass judgment upon Mr.. Aliens
paintings. He declared them to be real
works of art, and, despite the anatom-
ical discrepancies, said they were valu-
able. He said that even among the
greatest artists mistakes were some
times made in depicting animals.

AN IMPORTANT VICTORY
FOR NEW HAVEN CHAMBER OF
COMMERCE.
Appropriation Of s64,0201O for the Inn
provement o. ouinniplac river.

PN~yN~NN-V
provement Of Quinnipiac River.
The New Haven chamber of COM
merce, through its committee on har-
bor has won an important victory in
securing the insertion of an item in the
sundry civil bill appropriating $64,926fU
for the Improvement of the Quinnipiac
street bridges.
The committee and chamber have
been striving for this Improvement in
the face of very difficult obstacles for
some years past, but recent efforts have
been crowned with success.
About a month ago Major Harry Tay-
lor, United States Engineer corps, was
assigned to the command of this dis
triot, and on his visiting New Haven
Henry c. Rowe, the chairman of the
committee on harbor, showed him the
Quinnipiac river and presented a care
full statement of the reasons why the
dredging Of the river Is urgently need
ed.
Major Taylro indicated his desire for
large amount of documentary evil
dence as to the need Of the improve
ment from the chamber of commerce,
the harbor commission, the navigation
interests, and so forth, which was duly
furnished by the chairman of the COM
mittee on harbor and Major Taylor
was convinced of the desirability of this
work.
Shortly after this, when the secretary
Of war was In the city, Mr.. Rowe asked
President Hadley to use his good offices,
In behalf of the chamber of commerce,
of which President Hadley is a member,
in arranging trip to the Quinnipiac
for the secretary of war, with Lieuten-
ant-Governor Woodruff, president Of
the chamber OF commerce, and Mr..
Rowe. This was arranged, and General
Bradley, General Ford and Mr.. Adler,
all ex-presidents Of the chamber, were
asked to Join the party; also Frank G..
Bushnell, representing the harbor COM
mission. Winthrop G. Bushnell gave
the party the use of his two fine Pope
Toledo cars in which to visit the water
ways of New Haven.
Secretary Taft expressed himself as
enjoying the ride very much, and rec
ognized the force of the statements
made. He requested Mr.. Rowe to fur
nish him a typewriter statement OF
the whole case, which was done, and
the result of the effort made now APP
pears in the item IN the sundry civil
bill, which was undoubtedly made upon
the request of the secretary of war and
the endorsement of Major Taylor.
The way was paved for this success
by a long series of efforts, among which
was a visit to the secretary of wal
over a year ago by General Edward E
Bradley and Henry c. Rowe, who then
opened the matter to him, so that he
was ready to act after visit to the To-
cation itself.

ANNIVERSARY BANQUET.

Sheldon Gives History of SOcIety-Al-
ways Criticized Sect-.Rev. w. n.
Dickerman Points Out Growing
Strength. of state Convention.
The banquet in the parlors of the
Church of the Messiah last evening
was to celebrate the SEVENTEEN ami
versary Of the founding of the Univer-
salist denomination in this city, The
parlors Of the church were very APP
propriately decorated for the occasion.
Above the platform was stretched a
large United States flag and flowers
adorned the tables.
Seated at the first table beside the
toastmaster, Charles Gay were the
speakers Of the evening, among whom
were Judge Joseph Sheldon, Rev. w, f..
Dickerman and Miss Anna Dickernan,
Mrs. G. E. Hubbard, DR. Lucy Peck
ham, w. F. Goodwin, John McCarty,
and Rev. and Mrs. Theodore A. Fischer
During the evening a solo was sweet
ly rendered by Miss Bessie Sweeney
and Frank Coxeter, accompanied by
Miss Coxeter, who gave flute solo.
The first address of the evening was
by Judge Joseph Sheldon who spoke
Of the churchs history. Judge Sheldon
said in part: THE society was started
by eleven men in 1886, all the apostles
being present save Judas. From the
very first they were a much maligned
and much criticized sect, but all were
honest men. There was not a black
sheep among them, and they always
shed a good lustre upon the commune
ty.
cat first the services were held in
halls, but later church was built.
Mrs. Hannaford drew the largest au-
diences. The present church was
erected by Rev. Mr.. Ames The real
estate operations OF the society have al
ways been very successful, SO that now
the property Is worth $50,UC0.
Judge Sheldon said that 1t was good
thing that the dust was gathering over
the church creeds and he expressed a
bright hope for the future.
The Rev. w. F. Dickerman gave a re-
sumo of the history of the Connecticut
universalist convention He said that
the first council Gas it was then called
was held in this city on May g. 1882,
just four years previous to the organ
ization of the New Haven society.
N. Darling was moderator of the
meeting and there were delegates from
all parts of the state, including Tor
rington South Glastonbury, Norwich
Lebanon, Cheshire southington, Dam
South Canton and Winsted. The faith
is not so widely represented to-day but
the present nine societies number many
more than were included in all the pre-
vious societies. The records of these
early councils show great liberality and
tolerance. IA a session held in DAN
bury on October 8, 1888, a vote of pro-
test was passed against the action of
the Hudson River Universalists who
proposed to establish theological sem
mary This same council passed a
resolution asking the legislature
for an adjustment of the
death penalty An interesting agree
ment required the ministering brethren
holding fellowshins to preach one
quarter of their time.
