school. He said that the Eaton and
Wooster schools are both overcrowded,
and they have to be used for the pri-
mary grades, forcing the higher grades
to Orange street.
Or. Spang and Alderman Collins had
lengthy debate on the site question.
Mr.. Carey, one of the property hold
ers, said he had named his price and
was entirely unwilling to sell below
that figure. He thought it very unfair
that the city should compel man who
did not wish to sell to part with his
property at the price named by the
would-be purchaser. He also said that
the price offered by the board of edu-
cation was actually less than the prop
erty had cost him, although it was
above his assessment,
In the matter of assessments he did
not think they were right bases for fig
uring values on. He queried Are any
assessments anywhere near right in
this city?" The committee passed.
DR.. Spang asked him iftit was not a
fact that he had appeared before the
board of relief and asked to have his
assessment reduced. Mr., Carey replied,
mo, sir" In a decided tone. Continu-
ing, he asked, us it fair to compel a
man to sell his property at $1,000 to
81, 500 less than it cost him?" Again
Chairman Townshend told him that the
committee was not there to decide ques-
lions of that kind So Mr. Carey sat
down.
Mr.. Ruff stated frankly that he had
named his price with the intention of
throwing the board down, He said
| that if they were bound to have 1t he
was willing to come to some mutual
understanding.
Mr.. Harris objected to the lowness of
the price offered, and objected to the
| taking of the property. He said he
had purchased it for a home and did
not want to part with it.
! Alderman Loos threw in little adj
| vice to the property holders. He told
| them not to leave this thing to the bu-
reau of compensation or the superior
court, if the price offered is greater
than the amount the property is taxed
for.
The committee held an executive ses.
sion after the hearing, but decided MOI
to take any action at present. The de.
cision was left hanging, in the belle
that the board of education and tn,
property owners, seeing the threatened
| situation, viii get together and reacl
an agreement for the sale of the prop
critics without any condemnation.

EMPEROR WILL
ANSWER TO-DAY
Korea's Ruler to Decide
on Ministers Request
for His Abdica-
ton.
SITUATION is
VERY GRAVE
Marquis Ito Has Been Sum
moned-Premier Wants
Crown Prince to Take
Fathers Place.

Seoul, July 17-Following a cabinet
meeting yesterday, which lasted four
hours, the premier had an audience
with the emperor in the evening, con-
tinuing for three hours, 1t has trans
|pired that the premier made strong
ly-worded representation of the grav-
ity of the situation caused by his maj
|esty's sending a delegation to the peace
conference at The Hague. He boldly
pointed out the necessity for the en-
peror abdication in favor Of the crown
prince, and Of his proceeding to Toxic
and apologizing to the emperor of ia
pan. The Korean emperor made no
definite reply.
Toxic, July 18.-The emperor Of
Korea has sent for Marquis Ito and 1t
is likely that he will receive the mar
quis in audience this afternoon. 1t is
believed that a final decision on the re-
quest for the emperor's abdication will
be arrived at this evening, when the
ministers appear in body before his
majesty.
The report from Seoul that the en-
peror attempted to seek refuge In a
certain consulate is officially dscredit-
ed, but it is thought that evidently In
Itriguers are at work on plan to re-
move the emperor from the palace, A
rumor that the emperor has privately
lordered the palace guards, one hundred
strong, to shoot any suspicious persons
lis causing dismay to those not concern
ed in the plot.

SUNDAY BILL REJECTED.

necticut.

Hartford, July 1.-THE Sunday bill
which was one of those on the table
In the afternoon all Of which were cal
led by Senator Walsh was also dis
cussed at length and the favorable re-
port of the committee which would APP
peal the present law in drastic meas
ure, was rejected, 10 to 7. The bill
would allow baseball for charity, golf
and other pleasures and provided for
entertainments and the keeping open
of stores, etc, to a limited extent. In
fact the bill would have been the
means Of creating a much more liberal
observance Of the Sabbath than is the
custom at present. Senator's Spellacy,
Luther and Mcneil spoke on the bill,
Senator Luther stating that it was all
right to want to see a ball game or
take trolley ride on Sunday, but that
1t was wrong for the baseball managers
and traction companies to compel their
men to work the seventh day Of the
week simply for the pleasure Of others.
Senator Spellacy asked Senator Luz
Their If it was not SO that he allowed
his servants to cook his dinner and
keep his house seven days in the week
and the senator from the first admitted
that he did and that while it was not
necessary for him to live 1t was a
mercy for him to have his Sunday din

The delay in the increase for the fire.
men and the fact that their schedule
was not adopted by the commissioners
has excluded any support that Mr..
Pierce might expect from this depart
ment of the city, according to state
rnents OF firenen themselves.
This leaves in the field Frederick w.
Orr and Franklin L. Homan. Eli Whit
ney, before he went to Europe, is said
to have endorsed Mr.. Orr. Town Clerk
Frederick Whitaker in the senatorial
campaign stood back of Mr.. Holman
and there is no reason to believe that
his position in regard to the matter
has changed. Comments on Mr.. Ho-
mans suitability for the mayorality
are expected on the return from Eu-
rope Of George L. Fox.
The disqualification Of Louis f. Stod-
dard on account Of his; age. as demo-
cratic candidate has caused consider
able comment and speculation. Mr..
Stoddard had been looked upon as the
strongest possibility and the democrats
were expecting him, If he would run, to
carry beside the democratic votes, a
great many from the younger republic
cans Attorney James Martin is now
looked upon as a possibility and 1t is
said that ex-senator Jones Mccain is
looking for the nomination.
Henry H. Townshend stated last
night that he would not stand for
nomination again as alderman from the
First ward. Mr., Townshend has been
elected twice by big majorities. He
served as president of the board dur
Ina 1906 and is now on the financial
board. He has been an especially
strong advocate of the proposed con-
tagious disease hospital. No candi-
dates to succeed him have yet APP
peared.
w. Percy Curtiss, who has represent
ed the Second ward in the aldermanio
body Is another republican who is said
not to care for another tern. Mr. Cur
tiss at a meeting of the board a short
| time ag went on record as saying that
he believed the board of aldermen,
elected by. the people, should be abolish
ed, and that the city should be gov
erned by commissioners appointed by
| the mayor.
Andrew P, Allen of the 18th ward
also stated last night that he would
not run again. He thinks that two
terms are sufficient for a man to serve.
Although the Fifteenth ward Is a strong
republican ward Mr.. Allen was elected
by a big majority on the democratic
ticket, Republican Registrar Edward
Lovesey stated last night that his par
ty expected to elect to succeed Mr.. AL
len some republican, but the democrats
of Westvilles are not going to give up
without fight and if he will accept it
will nominate Charles Stanton. Mr.
Stanton is q former sergeant of the
Sarshelds and has wide popularity,
Some of the other aldermen have said
that they might not run again and
within few weeks a lot of hard cam
paigning is expected, for in. the fall ar

WITH THE CHAUTAUQUANS
sWho Wrote Shakespeare" the Subject of an
Interesting Lecture.

Especial to the Journal and Courier.)
Plainville, July 17.-In spite of the
interest each member Of every class
has taken in the subject for the day.
everybody has found time to lend
hand in the matter of preparation for
the "big day. tomorrow, for Recogni-
ton day brings back to Plainville
members representing every class that
has graduated in Connecticut, and
many visitors from other circles. At
the Bible-study class this morning DR..
Phillips, who conducts the class, spoke
on 1.-THE Two Great Laws of the King
dom"
The first law, he said was expressed
in the verse, Eye are the salt of the
earth" and that the citizens who de-
sired the kingdom kept the word made
their lIow-beings better and helped
society in its advancement toward a
purer end. The second law, eye are
the light of the world" showed how
little Of anything desirable there is in
the world outside Of Christianity
AT the junior studs hour Joshua was
the subject, and the children listened
eagerly, as they do each day, to get
every word.
Cooking school to-day furnished an
gel cake, with cocoa for a flavor, and
1T was pronounced delicious. Sliced
beef hash and Welsh rarebit were also
demonstrated, and the walnut ice cream
was far too small a portion to let all
who desired have even taste.
Mans Relation to Plants" gave a
keen insight into the manner of mans
using plants for his own benefit. The
stalks Of some leaves and the juices Of
plants are used for food and medicine,
and even parts of the materials from
which clothing Is made are furnished
from plants.
AT Merritt's Point some very fine and
Beautiful water plants and flowers were
discovered.
who Wrote Shakespeare? was the
question discussed at the lecture this
afternoon, and Mr.. Truman j. Spencer
was the speaker. He said that Miss
Della Bacon, Of New Haven, had made
the suggestion that Francis Bacon
wrote the works, and her belief in this
story led Miss Bacon to make trip to
the tomb of Shakespeare in search Of
papers, said to be buried there, giving
the name of the true author. She pub
lished a book, 1.-THE Philosophy of
Shakespeare's Plays" in 1856. The gen.
eral belief at this time Is that the
plays were written by number OF
dramatists.
The splendid recital given by the
same trio who entertained last evening
was treat to all who heard 1t. 1t
was given with Strauss musical ac-
compartment.
Thursday morning the classes which
meet in the morning usually will be
omitted, and the houses and cottages
will. be decorated as usual The pro-
cession of the Chautauquans will move
headed by band from Plainville. Aft
er the graduates have passed through
the golden gate and into the auditorium

port, will deliver the address and the
