MANY INSPECTORS
ARE DISCHARGED
ENGINEER CARRIES POLITICS
INTO OFFICE
From Indications Still other Em-
ployes Will Have to Go to
Make Room for Those Slated
for Jobs

With w. w. Webb, who but two
weeks ago was foreman for Fairchild-
Gilmore-Wilton as head inspector of
Vrooman act work, and with the heads
of the old inspectors coming off in
punches, City Engineer Stafford is ac-
cused of doing politics in his office for
the benefit of some street contractors
who stand well with the powers that
be in the city hall.
The Vrooman act inspectors, whom
James Hanley, former street superin-
tendent, now chief inspector of public
works, found so satisfactory, are not
finding great favor in the eyes of
City Engineer Stafford, although he has
not given them much time to show
their special abilities.
Already four of Hanley's men have
been told they needn't come around
any more for there wouldn't be any
thing for them to do. These are D.
Albright, w. H. McGarvey, T. H.
Ince and G. l.. Transfield. On the list
in Mr.. Stafford's possession are nu-
merous notes to "see" this or that
man, which are references given to the
city engineer by the inspectors who
fear their heads may be the next to
fall.
New Order in Effect
Last month tne DOdru OF puDllC
works. which has entire control of the
street and the city engineers depart
ments, passed an order to the effect
that after April / all Vrooman act
work would be under the city engineer.
Heretofore the street superintendent
has had charge of the inspection of this
work although all the other duties in
connection with it have been handled
in the engineers department.
One of Mr. Stafford's first acts when
he took over the inspection of this work
was to appoint w. w. Webb head in
spector. Until two weeks ago Mr.. Webb
was foreman for the Fairchild- Gilmore
Wilton concern, the largest firm of
street contractors in the city and one
accredited with being on very friendly
terms with the city council.
Mr.. Gilmore of this firm is the per-
son who welded such remarkable in
fluence over the city council last week
and induced it to pass an ordinance
granting him the franchise in the
Los Angeles river bed.

TALE SHUTS OUT TUFTS.

Opening Game of Season n 4 to
 Victory.
 Yale opened the baseball season of 1906 in this city yesterday afternoon be- fore a fair-sized first-game attendance, blanking the Tufts college team 1 to O.. Yale played a clean game in the field, making but one error, an excusable one at that, and handling the ball well, con- siderlng the lack of practice of the team.
 Tn batting neither team did any very heavy work Tufts getting but two safe ones off Meyers and Pratt, who occu- pied the box for Yale, while the blue team registered five off Watson. Tad Jones, who played at first for Yale Slp- tured the honors for the longest hit of the game, three bagger.
 In the third Inning Jones three-bag- ger scored Chapin after he had singled In the fourth, after O'Brien had bunt- ed and been forced by Kinney, Mallory walked and Camp scored Kinney with a single. In the ninth Huiskamp and O'Brien were safe on errors by Fisher and Clapp, and Smith scored them with a single,

THEIR SECRET IS OUT.
SWELLING CHORAL MUSIC DIS- COVERS GRAYS' REHEARSAL.

Actors Find Much to Praise-"The
 MOckIng Bird" VIII be Biggest Ama-
 teur DramaticaI Entertainment Ever
 For the benefit of a host of people who stopped along Chapel and State streets near the crossing of those thor oughfares last night and wondered whence came the volume of choral mu- sic, it may be stated, without violating confidence, that the first ensemble re- hearsal of the New Haven Grays' com ic opera, "The Mocking Bird" was held, The music is tuneful and abounds with catchy airs that will be whistled by thousands next summer for the play will be given in the Hyperion April 26, 27 and 2S.
 A professional actor who saw the re- hearsal last night was enthusiastic Said he:
 Tt would make the fortune of a pro- fessional show to have a chorus of such handsome young women who can sing and dance. And the soldierly bearing of the young men enhances a military opera. Generally, stage soldiers do not know how to drill. These young men can, and they add much to the show by their military steps to that fine mu- sic"
 A picked squad of sixteen Grays, wearing the company's distinguishing and dressy uniform, were received with applause when they made their entry, unexpectedly to the remainder of the chorus. They met, maneuvered in per feet unison and alignment backward and forward, wheeled and met again, coming down the stage to a slow cur tain" that marked the finale of act one after laundering chorus. Stage Di- rector Nelson remarked sententiously: This will be the biggest amateur dra- matic affair ever given in Connecticut"

DEATH OF GENERAL BLANco.
Was Last Spanish Governor General
 of Cuba. Madrid, April 4-General Blanco died to-day,

Ramon Blanco y Arenas, Marquis de Pena Plata, was born at Bilboa, Spain, in 1882. In 1897 Blanco was sent to Cuba to succeed General Weyler, whose conduct in suppressing the rebellion in that island had shocked the humanita- rian feeling of all tn ecivilized world. He started on policy of qualification but the Cuban people did not trust him and his experience on the island was not happy.
 When the war with the United States broke out Blanco did not enter upon the defense of the island with much nope of success and as soon as the war was over he resigned and returned to Spain, in November, 1898.

BARGAIN TANTALIZING.

The general fascinating and tantali- zing nature of the average bargain sea- son has been commented upon before. But each one brings it's own aggra- vations. Right now, to the woman who spent all her income that Is, or Is. to be for some time, on Christmas pre- sents the advertisements in the papers are as a red rag to a bull.
 "Taffeta silk for 49 cents,' she reads aloud. If there is anything really want 1t is some taffeta for suit but how can I get 1t when I haven't any money?'
 "Fifty-cent lisle thread stockings she reads, flor 19 cents, and my darn ing basket full of rags. What Is the use of giving people presents at Christmas, anyway
 The last state of the woman may be easily foreseen. She puts on her hat di- rectly, and, having no cash, goes down and buys these reduced things on ac- count
 
 can resist something which is being sold at less than cost?
 There was a girl in shop the other day looking at some very much re- duced stationery and trying to decide between two equally attractive sorts.
 Why not take some of both?" asked the clerk
 Do you see that g bill?" replied the customer, solemnly. Well that must last me until July. I mortgaged my income at Christmas, and now chili penury has claimed me for It's ow,' or whatever 1t is the poet says"
 But the paper Is very cheap" in sisted the saleswoman,
 "so it is,' said the woman, finger ingly. She took some of both sorts, At the counter where the bed-linen was going at cost another feminine creature fingered, looking at the bar gains
 You'd better take them,' suggested l the clerk, They'll be back at their usual price soon"
 "I cant help it." replied this patron. T don't feel very well, and everything has been going so far from right that l don't think I'll live long, anyway, and l don't care how soon things advance in price after I'm gone" but she ordered some of the linen before she left in spite of her falling health.
 The problem of the hour Is whether | to buy a winter hat that was $20 for $5 or whetiier to buy material for sum- mer gown for 25 cents that will be 50 later-whether to live for the day or anticipate the morrow.
 The bargains in hats are things to make the weak go Into debt The hats with French labels in them that may now be had for few dollars, and the hats with no label in them that may bt had for few oents-are things tc brighten the eyes and make the least imaginative consider ways and means
 "The bargain season is a time wher the rich save money" said a philosop- her to-day. They can take advantage of all the profitable reductions adver. tised
 And don't you take advantage o1 them also?'
 ''Well, yes, to be truthful, I do bu sometimes I don't think l should neet money to pay my bills" replied thi' suffering martyr.
 It's a regular harvest for the wis' shopper-the bargain season-and there be financiers among the sex feminine who borrow money expressly so sthe, may take advantage of the chances offered by the merchant.-Baltimort ! News !?
