WINE GROWERS APPEAL
Ask Aid of Temperance Organizations
 in License Regulations.

New York, Dec. S.--An interesting alignment of forces in the fight for temperance may develop from a reso- lution passed to-day by the American Winegrowers association, now in ses- sion here, inviting the cooperation of temperance organizations and societies in seconding its efforts toward provid ing wine licenses separate from the general liquor license, whioa, the grow CTS state, is right step in the tenn peranee movement.

MONEY GOES ABROAD
 t Local Postoffice Shows Move ment of Christmas Fund
 from Here.

The annual Christmas movement of the savings gathered by New Haven's newer citizens has already begun at the local postoffice. Many money or ders are being purchased and the rush will continue from now until Christ mas.
 There is possibility that this fund may be affected by the change In first class postal rates which went into ef- feet October 1, whereby more Christ mas gifts purchased here will be sent abroad This change has more than cut in half the former rate eof five cents per half ounce. This new rate is as follows: Five cents for the first ounce or fraction thereof and three cents for each additional ounce or fraction. By this new rule 1t will be possible to forward 8 pound of matter for fifty cents, which last year re- quired $1,60.
 Much of the Christmas stuff will go out in this way as the much cheaper parcel post" matter cannot be regis tered, this heinz contrary to interna- tional agreement.

OVER TO SATURDAY Bright Case Submitted to Court Late Yesterday
 Without Argument. DEFENSE CLOSES LATE Loomis and Goodhart Get Into Tilt Over Admission of
 Evidence.
DEFENSE CLOSES LATE

The trial of Supernumerary Bright of the local police department on a charge of breach of the peace on John Noel a law school student, as the se- quel of the trouble in the New Haven theater several weeks ago, continued through all day yesterday and after a long session that lasted until nearly 6 o'clock all testimony was in and the case was submitted to the court with out argument, Judge Mathewson then continued the case until Saturday morning for decision.
 Quite tilt occurred during the course of the case yesterday after noon Attorney Seymour c. Loomis for the student, attempted to intro. duce evidence that Bright had been practically told that he must get through when he was in the employ of the Fair Haven East borough or he would be discharged. The matter was brought up in an attempt to get in a question as to what Bright had testi- lied to in regard to this matter before the city court in the case against Noel Attorney Goodhart, for the defense, objected to the question, and 1t was ruled out Right afterwards he att tempted to introduce records which would show that Bright had been noti- fled that he must resign by a certain time Then MT. Goodhart called at tention to the fact that this was pro ceeding in the line that had just been forbidden, and after denouncing it as lese majeste to the court he appealed to the judge to rule out this line. Judge Mathewson promptly declared that the evidence was forbidden and the case proceeded.
 Bright was on the stand almost all afternoon. His examination was closed late in the day and as soon as the case came to him for decision the judge adjourned court until Saturday, when his decision Is expected.

WANTS MORE POWER
Cowles Recommends to Police Board Better Control of
 Traffic.

At the meeting of the police eommis- sioners held last evening request was received from Patrolman James E. Doolittle of Station 4, for retirement. he having served on the force for twenty-five years. The board voted to place him on the veteran reserve for the time being, in accordance with the usual custom, and he was ordered be- fore tho physicians of the department for examination as to his physical con- dition, which always precedes retire. ment
 Chief Cowles submitted his first monthly report to the board last night Its main feature was the recommenda- ton that some step be taken towards securing more power for the police for the regulation of traffic in the streets The matter was taken up by the board and it is probable that after consid- eration some draft of an ordinance conveying the desired powers will be prepared and introduced before the or- dinanca committee of the board of al- dermen for action.
 Joshua B. Bryan was appointed a special constable at the request of the s. s. Thompson Baking company,

LEWIS OFF THE
 FINANCE BOARD Resignation Follows Decis- ion of Body in Regard
 to Salary h.
 creases.
HE IS OPPOSED TO
 SOME OF THEM MADE
Retiring Member Has Served Five Years, and Says He Gan No Longer Spare
 the Time.

George W. Lewis has sent his resig- nation from the board of finance to Mayor studley asking that he be re- lieved of his duties at once and tha, his successor be appointed MT. Lewis in time of service is one of the oldest members of the board and his reslgna- ton at this time comes as a great sur prise both to the mayor and the other members of the department.
 When asked last night why he had resigned Mir, Lewis sold that there were several reasons. Only enc, how. ever, he said he cared to make pu5lie at this time and that was that he did not care to give the evenings necessary to the work.
 Mir Lewis pointed out that he has been on the board for the past five years and that in each year there are iifty-two regular meetings, the board beside this having met practically ev- cry night In November to make up the estimates for the coming year
 His term on the board of finance would not expire until the first of Feb ruary, 1909, but 1t is said that NIT. Lewis would probably have served the entire time had the harmony on the board been nearer perfection.
 The split was on the question of the raising of salaries 1t is said Mir Lewis thought that certain of the in creases granted were unauthorized while there were others who asked the city for more money and who had beer in the employ of the municipality fol a number of years who received very small if any increases,
 Mir Lewis resigned at this time, ac- cording to the report In order that Mayor Studley, if he chose, might ap- point a succession from the republican ranks. Had MT Lewis waited unti after January the incoming member of the board would have been a demo erat in all probability.

Curran Printing Co.,, of St Louis, Mo. judg- ment creditor for S21,27S who is suing in equity on behalf of itself and all other creditors of the exposition sirni- larly situated. The plaintiff alleges that John Monk, one of the exposition construction contractors, also suing for a receivership, Is not judgment credi- tor, and that the court is without juris- diction to appoint a receiver in the Monk action, and asks dismissal of this and the consolidation of all litiga- tion of every description against the Jamestown Exposition company, or trusts created in connection herewith, into one case, and that a receiver be named to take charge and manage the affairs of the company for the pres- ervation of its valuable assets as a whole
 The exposition company, answering the Monk suit asks dismissal of the same, but petitions the court to SC modify the optional contracts for the sites of state buildings, etc, requiring that the same must be taken up within ninety days after the close of the ex- position, so that those holding con tracts for said sites will not be re- quired to act until they are offered good and certain deeds given under the direction of the court
 President Tucker, of the exposition company, in statement in regard tc the contemplated receivership, said "While know nothing of the matter in detail, | presume it is likely that g receiver will be appointed The ap- pointment, however, would in no way affect the question of reopening the | exposition next year"

FOR FREE SPEECH
Duma the One Spot for,its Utterance,
 Says Shublnsl3y.

St. Petersburg. Dec. S.-The duma adjourned at a late hour tonight without coming to vote on the min isterlal declaration Expectations that the Octoberist party would define it's principles and program were disap. pointed. The speeches of the October ist leaders, Count Uvaroff, Prof Ka- pustin and others were marked by half-hearted criticisms of the govern ment's program, but they reserved judgment in the matter.
 M. Shubinsky, openly stating the reasons for the Octoberist reserve, said; There would be the greatest danger to Russia to-day should the duma become oppositional as that would end the constitutional expert ment in Russia for a long time. Let the deputies be circumspect in order to defend the duma, and the tribute be one spot from which full speech can be addressed to the whole country"

Japan's Action on Eve of Fleets Departure for the Pacific Thought
 Significant.
AOKI NOT LIKELY
 TO RETURN HERE
Reason for His Being Called Home Given as Desire to Consult on Immi-
 grafton.
Especial to Soufnai and oOurier.)

Washington, Dec. S.EThe fact oftii- cially announced to-day by the Jap ,anese embassy that Ambassador Aoki has been called home by the Tokio sgovernment to make verbal report to 1t on the immigration question has Hcaused an unusual stir in diplomatic Icircles here. Coming right on the eve Iof the departure of the most formida- |ble battleship fleet ever assembled un- Hder the American flag for the Pacific, |there are not few among even the Fconservative diplomats who consider Ethe action of Tokio in calling Aoki Shome as significant. This beliet IS sheld even in the face of statements by Hthe Japanese envoy and attaches of the legation that the call is made #anerely that the ambassador can dis with his government question of 5 vital importance, which can be done 7better verbally than through diplomat Hc correspondence.
 TO all outward appearances the re- z zsations between Japan and the United States are friendly. So far as known, zbnly two questions have arisen to kause any apprehension--the Philip #bines and immigration. Japan has I Repeatedly denied having any designs Sn the far eastern islands, and the matter of immigration has been con
 idered well on the road toward settle- Xnent Is there more beneath the
 urface? Does the sending of fleet
 D the Pacific and the coincident re-
 all home of Aoki mean friction
 There is a strong under sentiment
 ere that it does, despite smoothly
 Yorded statements to the contrary.
 The stir in diplomatic circles is the
 reatest since the recall of Von Holle-
 len, the German ambassador, in 1902
 nder somewhat similar circum.
 ances. Talk of trouble between this E puntry and Germany was at that time
 eard on all sides. Won Holleben
 owever, lacked much of having as d bod relations with the Washington
 pvernment as has Viscount Aoki. Int \ erman ambassador received a cable
 sspatch from the foreign office ont
 aght ordering him to report to Berlin # ermany soon gave evidence of he,
 sire to continue the best relation, pssible by sending here Baron Specl
 Sn Sternburg, a long time persona
 fend of President Roosevelt.
