hAN-O-WAR'S MAN
TELLS ABOUT TATFOOING
Serpents, Butterflies, and Birds Worked
on Body-S3oo Worth Of

"Land-lubbers have queer idea ABOUT
tattooing," said an old man-o'-war man
"a day or two ago as he rolled back one
sleeve and displayed an elaborate de-
sign done in red and blue, which reached
half way I'D his arm. Most Of them
think that sailors have this stuff put on

"a form Of reIic-hunting. Now, this de-
sign was put on my arm at Nagasaki.
one on my other arm was put on down
in the West Indies. and each mark I
have brings back 10 mind happenings
in various ports of the country just
as a collection of pictures and souvenirs
affects other persons. That is almost
exclusively the reason why sailors have
tattoo marks on their bodies
The man had designs worked on his
arms and breast that were worth $500
Put on one at a time by men from all
iparts of the world, he had a collection
that would shadow the collection OF any
relic-hunter. On one arm there was a
design OF the Chinese dragon which
REACHED from the wrist TO above the ell
bow, and was worked out IN great de-
tail IN red and blue ink. On his breast
were designs of serpents. a picture Of

NEW YORK. Jan. 23.-The
trial of Harry K. Thaw for the
murder of Stanford White, for
which the Christian world has
long waited in expectancy, began
today. Scorning the fears of his
relatives and the Judgment of his
counsel that he was toying, per-
haps with death. perhaps with i'm
prisonment for life, perhaps was
rushing to the brand that marks
felon. his will prevailed. and.
determined to gamble with fate ir
the hope that for him fate free.
dom holds, with all that freedom
means, he walked into court to-
day to face his peers and to be
adjudged.
Scenes approaching absolute
disorder attended the opening OF
the trial. Most of the clashes were
between reporters and correspond
ents and the police. OF the news
papermen there were perhaps 200
and there was a policeman for
each. The great squad of blue
coats was commanded by a police
Inspector Only about fifty news
paper writers finally were admit
ted, the remainder Of the space in
the courtroom being reserved for
the 200 talesmen summoned on
the special jury panel.
The struggling, clamoring mob.
filling corridors and even the
streets near the Criminal Courts
building, so common heretofore,
was not to be seen today. Those
having no business in the building
were hurried away, and not all
those having business in the
courtroom were permitted to en-
ter. When the trial actually be-
gan there were but few women in
the courtroom. OF these, FIVE
were members Of the family OF
Harry Thaw.
The courtroom itself was sin
gularly free from the air of eager.
insistent interest that had marked
the crowd without, scattered over
many blocks, planning futilely to
break into the courtroom. Thaw
was surrounded by an army of le-
gal talent. D. NJ Delmas did not
take a prominent part in the pro
ceedings today. His best effort
will be made to the jury after the
evidence is all in.
Press arrangements for trans
mitting reports of the Thaw trial
from the courtroom to the news
paper offices throughout this coun-
try and in London and Paris are
more suggestive of great na-
tional convention to nominate
candidate for President than Of
trial A special telegraph Office
has been established in the Grim
inal Courts building, with big
staff of operators sending over
many wires. One London paper

occupies the public mind, and his often
ses are partially forgotten"
This is precisely what Thaw did not
do. for today he appeared at the bar of
Justice.
Men are still pi1lorized IN this TWEEN
tieth century-not physically but men
tally-and Thaw can thank God that
the period of gossip and slander and
malice, made possible by certain class
of newspapers, is also over. The hid
eous insinuation by those who manu-
facture them for sale will be of little
weight now, for today his trial in the
Supreme Court commenced and his triar
as conducted in Park Row is at an end.
Since that June evening at the Madi-
son Square roof garden constant

stream of new evidence"-which has
been anything but new and far from
evidence at all-has been published and
circulated for the purpose Of preju-

The plan is to have the Legislature

of his wishes in the matter, and they
are naturally conservative.
The Senate was too busy today an

residents of New Haven. The whole theory that the members of the legis- lature, who are recruited from the 16S towns of the state and the thirty five senatorial districts, possess the ne- eessary intelligence to judge best what this city should pay it's employees is abominable. It is principle of life everywhere that the purchaser should be the judge of his ability to pay, just as the seller should be the judge of what he will charge.
 The senators and representatives from the town and city of New Haven should see that this bill is defeated and that the charter is amended in such a way that in the future the power to raise or lower salaries of the employees of New Haven may rest with the board of finance, with or without the con- sent of the board of aldermen, The bill seeking to increase the salary of the clerk of the civil service commss sion offers an opportunity which they should not neglect, and which they cannot well neglect without confessing to an indifference for the town and city they were elected to represent.

The districts most affected are underpoliced and understaffed, while large tracts of thick jungle cut by rivers and backwaters add to the difficulty of preserving order.

THE WEEKLY JoURNAL. Issued Thursday, One Dollar Year
THE COUNTY oRGANIz 411oN.

In the course of an interesting de- bate in the State senate last week over the salaries to be paid county commis- sioners, Senator Luther said that Tt would be a good thing to pass a sponge over these county lines. The county commissioners receive" he said "a good salary for persons whose duty it is to authorize people to sell liquor, and to care for in jails those who drink it." He hoped that fifty years hence there would be neither counties nor county commissioners.
 Though Senator Luther is not, unfor- unately, likely to live fifty years more he would doubtless, if that luck came to him, live to see his dream of to-day come true, and the county organization abandoned. The State of Connecticut will without a doubt place ultimately the task of issuing liquor licenses in the hands of an excise commission, ap- pointed by the courts, and transfer the additional duties of the county con- missions to other administrative off, cers. The county homes, for example will be cared for by county home commission appointed by the governor, under the supervision of the State board of charities
 The county has history to be sure, and in some of the western States has an important function, but in the State of Connecticut it is no more needed than a double headed legislative body is needed in municipalities. We are coming to larger understanding of the operorganization of the State, in it's various subdivisions, from the point of the ability of the people to in- tellgently officer 1t, and when this knowledge is perfected the work of re- construction along simpler lines, which will include the aboiishment of the county, will begin vigorously Senator Luther Is more than an educator and politician. He is a prophet.
