BRYAN WOULDN'T
 REFUSE IT AGAIN
HE TALKS ABOUT THE PRESI-
 DENcY IN 1908.
The Things He Has Been Fighting For Are Going His Way-Too Early to Discuss a Candi-
 date. He Says.

Chcago, May 11-A despatch to the Tribune from St Louis says: NJ. C.. Wetmore of this city, personal friend of W J. Bryan yesterday re ceived from Mr Bryan, who is in Egypt, letter in which he says:
 T am satisfied that the things I have been fighting for are growing, but who will be most available in 1908 is question that cannot be an- swered now. I shall not do anything to secure another nomination and do not want it unless circumstances seem to demand it-time alone can determine that"
 This Is the first authoritative state ment of Mir Bryan's attitude toward the presidency in 1908. The letter Is personal, and his comment on the na- tional situation is the more interest ing to the public from the fact that it is the frank utterance of party leader to confidential friend.

CENSOR FOR BANKS
CLEARING HOUSE AT CHICAGO
 IS GETTING BUSY.
Man Appointed as a Spotter Who Will Report Banks That Indulge
 in Unsound Methods.

Chicago, May 11.-To safeguard Chicago banks against the practice of unsound banking methods the clear ing house committee has appointed James B. McDougal as special exam finer.
 It will be his duty to keep con stant vigilance on local banks, and when he finds one of them making ex- cessiye loans or indulging in any oth- CT uns0und methods he will at once report the matter to the clearing house committee. The offending bank will then be notified to correct the CT TOT of its ways and upon failing to do it will be denied clearing house privi- leges, which will bring measure of discredit upon 1t that will be ruinous.
 The Chicago clearing house is said to be the first organization of the kind to take such precautions.
 The appointee is at present in charge of banks of central and north ern Illinois in the employ of the gov ernment, and has until recently been in the St Louis distric.. Formerly he was located in the Pennsylvania dis trict.
 He was born in Peoria. in 1865. and received his early insight into bank- sg business in the Central National bank Of that city.

BOATS WERE SEIZED
CANADIAN CRUISER BOUNCED
 ON AMERICAN VESSELS.
Another Question That Will Con. front State Department When It
 Considers Fisheries Laws.

Washington, May 1.-The seizure by Canadian cruisers of the fishing smacks Raynah, of Boston, and Par- thia of Gloucester adds another to the many vexatlous cases of this kind re- gariing which the state department is now preparing to negotiate directly with the British government through Ambassador Durand upon his return to this country from England. It is pointed out, however. that from the press reports these new cases appear to differ essentially from those of the Gloucester boats seized month ago off the Newfoundland coast and brought into St Johns. While it is d debatable question as to whether the Newfoundland authorities were with- in their rights in alresting the Glou- cester fishermen. who were there un- dr the terms of the treaty of 1918 granting them equal privileges with British subjects in the shore waters. no such claim is made by the state department here as to the waters of New Brunswick or Nova Scotia, and no American fisherman has tue right to trawl therein without the consent of the authorities. It is conjectured that this case, however. may involve a construction of the old and long dis puted head land" claim, and that the American fishing boats. while within an imaginary line drawn from head land to headland on the Nova Scotia coast near Cape North. were actually more than a marine league distant front the nearest shore and so were within their rights. This is question to be determined by the court before which the captains of the seized ves- sels will appear, and these facts must he waited by the state department be- fore it undertakes to make any repre- sentations in the case.

GIVEN s25 WITH COSTS.
Suit of William Hubbard for Loss of
 Four Fingers Ended To-day.

Before leaving for home to-day, Judge Reed in the superior court handed down his decision in the suit Of William Hubbard against the Ram dolph-Clowes Co for $3.O0O damages for the loss of part of four fingers of his left hand. The judgment was for nominal damages of $25 with costs. The court made no memoran- dunn. The defense in this case was that Hubbard was contributory neg ligent and that he released the com pany from all claims and demands on the payment of s13450. He was employed on machine which, 1t was alleged. was in the care of in- competent persons. The foreman testified that he had on two occa- sions told Hubbard to be very care full when working at 1t.
 Cases down for trial next week are: Attorney Kennedy. admins trator on the estate of Joseph Ring, which is still before the court This will be resumed Tuesday. Bessie Coffey against the Connecticut Rail way and Lighting Co. Wednesday, and Michael O'Keefe against the Scovill Manufacturing Co. Thursday. This case has already been to the supreme court. which reversed the decision of Judge George W. Wheel CT in giving the plaintiff damages of s2.750. This Is the case made fam ous by Colonel Burpee. counsel for the company. refusing to try it be- fore Judge Wheeler on the grounds that he was not prepared to try it and that he should have been given a special notice of twenty days. as the case was set for hearing at a special term of the court. 0'Keefe Is we'll along in years. He was em- ployed by the company al night work and one night while leaving the shop he fell into trench that was not properly protected. 1t is alleged. and suffered injuries which have prevent ed him from working since.

TAFT REFUSES
 TO STAND FOR IT.
QUESTION OF AMERICAN GOODS
 FOR THE CANAL.
Congress May Be Asked to Take a Hand and Prevent Commission CTS From Buying Foreign
 Made Goods.

Washington, May 11.-Secretary Taft has refused to assume the re- pponsibility for an order requiring the canal commission 10 buy only Ameri- can goods and as result of hls stand it is likely resolutions will be intro- ducea in congress limiting the pur- chasss of the commission to American markets.
 Senators Dick and Ankeney and number of other prominent republi- cans in the senate have urged the commission to abandon the idea or buying In the open market. but Sec retary Taft and the members of the commission have not felt that they could read any such restriction on purchases into the present law resu- larins the commission and suggested that congress should specifically limit buying of American goods if any such provision is desired.
 Since the purchase of 20.0OO bar rels of English cement by the com mission there has been much agita- tion for the protection of American manufacturers. The cement was pllr- chased for 37 cents less per barrel than American manufacturers offered to supply it for, but it was maintain cd by American cement interests that the shipping conditions stipulated by the commission were responsible for the higher pric set by American mills Because of lack of storage ea- eilities on the isthmus the commission stated in its specifications that the cement was to be delivered in small quantities as needed.
 Members of the commission are anxious to avoid conditions which might enable American manufactur- CTS to combine in such way that ex- tortionate prices can he charged and frequent conferences arc being held for the purpose of agreeing upon res olutions which will afford American Interests protection without placing the commission wholly at the mercy of manufacturers who may attempt to corner the market in commodities most required for use in canal work.

FROST INJURIES CROPS.
Peach Trees and Early Vegetables
 Bitten Last Night.

Pomfret, May 11.--The heavy frost of last night practically ruined the peach and early vegetable crops in this section of the state, hundreds of acres of peach trees and a great quantity of vegetables being badly bitten as the result of the unusually cold May night. It was one of the coldest nights in May ever experi- enced here and in many places ice formed to the thickness of half an inch. When the farmers awoke to- day they found the leaves of their peach trees on the ground instead of on the trees and they say that there is no chance for even fair crop of the fruit this year. More peaches are raised in this section. of the state than in any other. Thomp- son. Woodstock. South Canterbury and Pomfret being full of peach farms.

that you are living only by tho
 bounty of charitable nation. StllE
 we are glad to get it. The people oS San Francisco were probably difrer- ent from any other city of tho
 world and peculiar in this: Everye body had been enjoying good waxe0 and were roally prosperous. But aii the money they could get hold of would be invested in real estate.
 Where they did not have enough money to buy a piece of property outright they would pay a deposit and pay the remainder monthly on the installment plan. And now, of course, that the fire has come it has destroyed these houses and really their banks. Still we hope for bet- ter times and feel sure that some- thing will present itself, and while we are down we are not out and I feel confident that you will hear of San Francisco again and hear that she is greater than ever she was be- fore the earthquake and fire.
