WILL FAVOR INCREASE.
TRANSFERS ARE HEARD
Petition for More Pay from City-Report
 Monday.

The special aldermanic committee appointed to look into the petition of the tean1sters employed ythe city for an increase from B to $4 q day for single teams and from $5 to $6 for double teams had a public hearing on the matter in City hall last evening. About twenty-five persons interested appeared before the committee, Dennis Blakeslee opened the subject. He said that the teamsters felt that with the advance in the wages paid to men and the increased price of oats and feed, matters amounting to 20 to 50 per cent advances, they felt this was but rea- sonable request. He said that the own CTS were paying their best drivers S2 8 day as against a maximum of $1.75 last year. 'The city," he concluded, should certainly pay as much as pri- vate firms for the same work"
 A. N. Farnham said that no trouble was experienced in getting $6 a day from private firms and that, plenty of work, in fact more than could be handled, was offered at this price. "There is no more money" said he, fin the business at $6 a day than there was formerly at $5 In fact I would rather do it under the conditions of two years ago than at $6 8 day"
 The committee inquired into the agreement made by teamsters' com mittee with the mayor at which the $3.5O and $5.50 compromise was ar ranged P. Mortell stated that the committee had no authority to make an agreement and had assumed the right.
 M. Caplan explained the increase in prices of feed Oats, he said, were about years ago 90 cents. To-day, he said, they are at s. 40 to $15O. Hay of the best quality was $40 and is now selling at BPS.
 No one appeared to oppose the peti- tion but Frank Horan arose. to state that in his opinion the team-owners should be willing to share the advance with the team drivers.
 After the executive session on the matter it was stated that there would be another executive session before the meeting of the board of aldermen Monday night to frame report. It is understood that the committee is fa- vorable to the increase and will re- port in foyor of the petition

BARBERs' TROUBLES.
Intellectual Conference Last Night and
 Another To-morrOw.

Another Tomorrow.
 The committee of master barbers and that of the journeymen barbers held a long conference in the shop of Charles Efland, at 175 Crown street, last night, but without result. The journeymen are determined in their demand for a half holiday each week, and the master barbers are just as determined that the demand shall not be granted. Several barbers in the center of the city de- clare that under no circumstances will they grant the demands of the journey men
 It is understood that the masters of- fered counter proposition to that of the journeymen last night, but it's na- ture could not be learned. The session was closed one. and both sides have little to say of what took place at the conference. The journeymen threaten to strike on Monday morning if the de- mands are not granted.
 Another conference will be held to- morrow, and in the meantime the com mittees will doubtless report back to their unions. and ask for further in structions.

ORANGE ACTS IN
 BRIDGE MATTER Accepts Blakeslee & Sons Offer of $1,OOO in Settle
 ment for Delay.
MATTER NOW CLOSED
New Haven Has Already Accepted-City and Town
 Each Get $500.

Three faithful citizens of the proposed city of Orange were in attendance at the special town meeting held in the West Haven town hall last night. The number was swelled later by the ap- pearance of the newspaper reporters. The meeting was for the purpose of talk ing action on the offer of c. w. Blakes- lee & Sons of $1,OOO in settlement for the delay of that company in getting in the sub structure for the Kimberly ave- nue bridge.
 Charles Neuman was chosen moder- ator of the meeting and George H. Thomas was secretary. First Select man Walter Main read the report of the selectmen embodying the offer of c. ". Blakeslee & Sons, together with a rec ommendation that it be accepted. Re- marks were made by Prosecuting Att torney Bush of West Haven and others. The matter was then put to a vote and unanimously passed.
 The actions of the West Haveners closes up the matter, which has been hanging fire for long time The board of aldermen of the city of New Haven recently agreed to accept the settle ment for this city. By the terms of the agreement New Haven and the town of Orange each get $500 of the $1,OOO. Had the town of Orange and the city of New Haven insisted on the full for felt. s7,SOO would have been due. c. W. Blakeslee & Sons refused to pay the full amount without law process and rather than resort to litigation the of fer of $1,OOO was accepted by both New Haven and the proposed city of Or ange
 The sub-structure should have been finished October 1, 1904, according to the contract but 1t was not finished until June of the following year. The delay was due partly to the cold weather during the winter of 1904-1s05 and part ly to a strike among MT. ,Blakcslee's employees.

THIEF ON CAMPUS.
Is Chased by Officer DOnelIy, But Es-
 cuues

CHpeSs
 Sheriff "Jim" Donnelly had an excit- ing time last night with sneak thief who entered the room of Robert Mid dlebrook, who rooms at Ss7 Berkeley. Mir. Middlebrook left his room late last evening, and went to get some lunch before retiring. On his return to his room, which he had left unlocked, he was confronted by the intruder, who brushed past him out into Berkeley oval. Sheriff Donnelly happened to be on the oval and saw the sneak thief running away. He promptly gave chase, but the thief was too fast for the sher- if, whose days as sprinter are pass ed. He ran as long as his breath held out, and nearly caught the fellow. Nothing was missed from the room.
 Sheriff Donnelly always keeps his eye open for these intruders. He felt rath- CT sore over his failure to land the man, but vows he will corner him yet He has given to the boys repeated warnings against the,S foolish habit of leaving their doors unlocked, but aI- most Incidentally Bxperieace is a good teacher, however, and the thieYes them selves are teaching the boys the wis dom of the advise given.

ON ELECTRIC TRAINS.
Engineers and Firemen Being Instruct.
 ed in Operation.

For several months past engineers and firemen now in steam service of the New Haven road have been re- ceiving instructions in the operation of the electric locomotives.
 Experimental trains have been in operation for several weeks, but no at tempt will be made to establish regu- lar service until the electrified line has been carefully inspected and thorough ly tested in every way.
 There is no truth in the statement that an injunction has been secured by the telephone company to prevent the use of the high tension current, nor is any such action anticipated. Representative of the telephone com pany and the railroad company have been in conference for some time with a view to ascertaining just what eff feet the current will have upon tele- phone lines and what should be done to remedy any trouble, should there be such.
