 Anyone who wishes to see shark without going to the trouble or ex- pense of taking sea voyage can have his curiosity gratified by merely go- ing to John Moore's fish and meat market on Cherry street. There he will see regulation man-eater, about 400 pounds weight and eight feet long. It took all of Mir Moore's help to get the monster into his store window from the wagon that took 1t to the store. There was never such a sight in store window in Waterbury before. A shark is anything but a thing of beauty, but as a curiosity it beats anything from the briny deep.

Mr.. Carline, Fred and Jack pulled their
hats well down over their faces, while Mr..
Wanlo. addressing the recumbent Spaniard,
who evidently supposed that it was some
shore boat, asked:
'I hear this vessel for sale. Can we come
on board and look at herr"
"Si senor," eagerly answered the Spaniard,
who, with one of Mr.. Carline's choice cigars
in his mouth, wore Mr.. Carline's best black
felt hat his Sunday shirt and his second best
trousers, his striped stockings and patent
leather shoes; for Mr.. Carline, though sea-
farinp man, was very fastidious as to his
"sbore clothes" and he groaned in spirit as
he saw them. "I no spik Ingese" continued
Charley. who seemed to have suddenly for

"but-"
And he beckoned with his hand, as though
to imply that signs would take the place of
speech.
Mr.. Carline sprang over the rail like a harle-
ouin, followed by the others.
"Wear my clothes, will you, you-you-
rarlic-eating villain" he exclaimed, seizing the
unhappy Spaniard by the collar, who, instant
lv recognizing his late commander, uttered a
howl of terror and fell on his knees. run

And "yanking"-if I may be allowed the
word-the Spaniard to his feet, he admins

founded individual that white cambric
handkerchief in the Spaniard's hip pocket flew,
as Jack afterward declared, three feet in the
air
Nov, 60 below and strip" ordered the
breathless Mr.. Carline, releasing his grasp, as
Mickey Fox gave vent to his feelings in one
exultant "hurrah!"
Spanish Charley disappeared down the fore
scuttle as though he were shot, and Sim, the
steward, appeared, as though by magic, at the
after companionway.

day. Nine persons were killed and
forty-one more or less injured in the
ger crashed into a switch engine which
was standing on the main line. A cor
oner's ejury was impaneled last night
and an investigation as to the cause
of the wreck is in progress today. The
engineer of the freight engine testified
he had been ordered to move out west
of town, where he was to drop off a
coming passenger train.
The f1agman testified he had been
sent on ahead of the engine for nearly
half mile and that he not only placed
two torpedoes on the track. but wait
ed and signalled the passenger train
with the lantern as we'll. He swore no
attention was paid to his lantern sig
nal, and he could not say whether or
not the torpedoes had exploded. The
night was very foggy and the suppo-
sition is the lantern signal was not
seen and the torpedoes failed to ex-
plode.

torney Cruice offered a motion that the
case be taken from the jury and the
defendants discharged, on the ground
the state had not made out a case OF
conspiracy. The motion was opposed

ton continued for the greater part o1
the day.
The motion was overruled by Judge
Ball. Attorney Cruice then commenced
the opening statement for the defense.
He declared the defense would prove
the employers were in conspiracy to
wreck the teamsters' union. He would
show the teamsters offered to submit
their case to arbitration. The attorney
denounced vigorously Albert Young,
Joseph Schultz, William Kelly and
Michael Murphy, who turned states
evidence in the case. Cruice declared
| it would be shown the only instructions
issued to pickets during the strike were
to report the movements of strike
breakers. He declared Shea had offered
to arbitrate the difficulties. It would
be shown that a private detective
agency had furnished the men with
guns and billies, and ordered them to
go out and beat up somebody. The
attorney said defense will show that
Robert Moren, business agent Of the
Garment Workers union, had never
paid cent to anybody during the
strike. He also said while defense
would admit there were blockades in
the street during the strike, it would be
shown the men on trial were not re-
sponsible for them.

ROOFS spEEcH WAKES BRYAN,
Nebraskan Declares Preservation
Nation Depends on Separation.


Lincoln Neb., Dec. 22.-W. J. BrSan.
commenting on Secretary Roots recent
speech on state rights and the central-
ization of legislative power, said:
He seems to rest his argument upon
the old idea Of destiny-the refuge Of
the man who wants to do thing
which he cannot defend. The destiny
argument carried US into our expensive
experiment in imperialism and now
destiny is relied on to obliterate the
states and centralize all government at
Washington. The constitution while
made more than century ago, is ade-
quate for today. The changes that are
needed are changes Of method, not Of
principle The division Of the powers
Of government was founded; upon the
doctrine of self government, and the
preservation of the nation depends up-
on the careful observance of the linz
itations between the things that are
local and things that are national.
"Those who do not recognize the doc
trine of local self government can
make an argument in favor of the
transfer Of all power to the federal
government, but those who believe in
the doctrine of self-government recog-
nize that the people con be trusted best
with that with which they are best
acquainted, and that the people are best
acquainted with the things which are
near them and Immediately concern
them"

General Sargent, of the bureau OF I'M

labor, who just returned from trip
special request OF the president to sup
erintend the landing of 1,400 Portu-
guese immigrants, called on the pres
ident today.
There are probably $4,000 japanese
in the Hawaiian islands" said Sar-
gent. land they are arriving there at
the rate of 900 to 1000 per month. New
arrivals do not remain long on the Is
lands, however, and soon get to the
Pacific coast. They are leaving IN
large numbers by each steamer. In the
last twelve months 10000 Japanese
have gone from the Hawaiian islands
to the mainland of this country"
Sargent was asked why the Japanese
first go to Hawaii. He explained t
by saying, as he understood the case,
the japanese government does not is
sue passports to the United States
proper, as 1t is unaware whether It's
citizens could get work here, but the
fact that there is demand for laborers
in Hawaii induces the issue of pass
ports to the islands. Sargent admitted
there was considerable feeling against
the japanese in many portions OF the
islands. as their labor is cheap and
their merchants are selling the Amer
lean merchants in the islands and tax
ing away trade previously held by the
latter with the Japanese.
