feat OF the resolution calling for an
Amendennt to the Federal Constitution
go as TO provide for direct popular elec.
ton OF United States Senators. I'm.
fortunately there is no record OF the
voting by members individually. The
Congressional Record me rely shows that
80 votes were cast in favor Of the rec.
olution and sc against it. AS it re.
quired two-thirds vote, it WINS lost.
Several times in the past resolution
OF this kind was passed by the House,
but was defeated in the Senate. This
Is probably the first time the House las
trampled upon public sentiment in the

 Amounting to s911.76-Fined for
 Keeping Slot Machine-Cases Be-
 fore the City Court.
 The attorneys figuring in the suit of Mrs. Phoebe H. T. Ives, of Branford against the town of Branford have reached an adjustment it is under stood, by satisfactory payment of money to the plaintiff. The latter sued for three thousand dollars damages in the superior court, asserting that her property had been depreciated In value three years ago by the action of hte town in changing a road grade.
 The change of the grade placed her property and that of several other res ldents on a higher elevation than it was before the grade was changed, and, therefore, Mrs. Ives brought a suit, re- taining Newton, Church & Hewitt.
 The case would have been tried last week had not the counsel for Mrs. Ives and the counsel for the town, Earliss F. Arvine, not compromised the matter. Announcement of the withdrawal was made in the superior court yesterday

REV. GEORGE ". RULAND
Restored to Health by VinOl and
 Strongly Endorses It.

Prominent men from all parts of the country are endorsing Vinol, and strong testimonial letters from four ministers of the gospel and several physicians have been received within week. Such unsolicited testimony as this is the best proof of merit any medicine can have.
 The Rev. George w. Rutland of Keene, N. H., writes: T have used your cod liver oil preparation Vinol, as a tonic, and I do not believe there is any other medicine that can equal it. It built me up and strengthened me when run down and overworked. Vinol has done for me mreo than was claimed for it."
 "We honestly believe there is no other remedy or cod liver oil preparation known to medicine that has the heal ing, strengthening power which Vinol has. and if it fails to create strength and health for rundown, debilitated people, old people, weak, sickly women and children, nursing mothers, and aft CT a severe sickness, or if it fails to cure a hacking cough, chronic cold, throat or bronchial trouble, or to make those who are too thin fat, rosy and healthy, we will return every cent paid us for it.

FINE TENOR TO SING.
Symphony Concert Programme to Have
 Several Novelties.

Several Novelties.
 When Edward Johnson, the tenor, made his hit in "Arminius" in Woolsey hall a few weeks ago a group of vet eran musicians and lovers of opera in the audience enthusiastically agreed that here was an oratorio tenor who would make grand-opera artist of whom America could be proud. It is very interesting, therefore, to have the opportunity to hear MT. Johnson in a grand-opera aria, as we shall at the closing concera of the New Haven Sym phony orchestra next Tuesday after noon. Puccinis La Boheme" contains a rare opportunity for the tenor, ard MT. Johnson has chosen this effective aria for one of his big numbers next Tuesday.
 In addition the tenor will sing an aria from Massenet's "Manon," and not a group of songs, as previously announc- ed. Both are splendid examples of the modern opera school, one French and the other Italian, and both are full of charming melody.
 Another novelty on the programme is the Guilman organ concerto in L' minor, which Professor H. B. Jepson will play as this, one of the great French organ ist-composer, has never been here be- fore.
 Then, with David Stanley Smith to conduct brand-new composition which will have its initial hearing on Tuesday, the concert will be a sort of family af- fair, there being three members of the university department of music's fac ulty represented, with the dean, Dr. Parker. the orchestra's conductor.
 The sale of seats for this final concert opens at the Woolsey hall box office to- morrow morning, with these hours-11 .. m, to 1 p. m. and 2 to 4 D. m. Plenty of good seats are left.
