HUMMEL CASE HEARD.
John B. stanchfld Denies Evidence of
 Collision in Dodge Matter

John B. Stanchfild Denies Evidence of
 Collision in Dodge Matter
 New York. April 18.-The case of the people against Abraham H. Hummel was argued before the appellate divi- sion of the supreme court this after noon, on appeal from tne judgment of the trial term, criminal bench, render ed December 20, 1905, convicting Hum mel of the crime of conspiracy. The appellant had already been suspended from the practice of the law pending the decision of the appeal in the crim- inal case. which was argued to-day. John B. Stanchield appeared for the appellant and Assistant District Attor- ney Robert c. Taylor for the people.
 Mir Stanchfield confined his argument to strictly technical analysis of the history of the case from legal stand point This included the whole history of the proceedings to vacate the decree of divorce of Clemence Dodge from Charles r. Dodge. MT Stanchfeld es- pecially emphasized the point that the conviction of conspiracy was based up- ol the testimony of an accomplice, an informer.
 He declared squarely that there was no evidence in the case to prove a cor rupt and collusiv agreement between Hummel and Dodge.

NOTES FROM HARTFORD.
INTERESTING ITEMS FROM
 HALLS or LEGISLATION.

Judiciary Committee Will Not Reach
 Telephone Question for Some Time
 Insurance Commission and Governor
 to Confer Regarding Changes That
 Hartford April 1S-The judiciary committee will not reach the telephone bills for executive consideration until week after next. The delay in acting on the measures is caused by the Jamestown visit in which members of the judiciary committee will take part. After the return from Jamestown these bills will be taken up and considered with the thoroughness which the public interests demand.
 While there has been no line-up in the committee relating to the so-called independent companies, it is clear that these companies have not made the i'm pression on the legislators which they were expected to make. The standing of the Southern New England as pub lie corporation transacting business in Connecticut has not been undermined | in any way by the long hearings that have taken place in the capitol during the session
 Insurance Commissioner Upson and Senator Blakeslee, chairman of the in- surance committee, will confer with Governor Woodruff concerning changes | that may be necessary in the insurance laws of the state. The particular change under consideration relates to the par ticlpating policy departments in stock insurance companies, the idea being the limitation of dividends from the participating departments. The de- bates in the hduse concerning the Tray elers Insurance company, of which Representative Gum has been the leading spirit, have brought attention to the course of the stock life compa- nles in reaphig harvets from the par ticipatng pollcyholders. Governor Woodruff will be requested to send a special message to the general assem- ply concerning the changes that ought to be made in the insurance statutes of the state.
 Ex-Mayor Bryan F. Mahon, of New London, made his rrst visit at the cap itol to-day since the session opened. It is twenty-five years ago this winter since ex- Mayor Mahon began his legis- lative career in the house as a member from New London. He has had suc- cessful business and political record and 2 is one of the leading democrats in east ern Connecticut.
 The health of the Hon. Samuel Fes- senden of Stamford is greatly improv- ed as compared with his condition 6 few months ago. This fact has beer received at the capitol this week witt great interest and satisfaction.

& Fred Strong, treasurer of tue city and town of New Haven, yesterday re- ceived from the comptroller of the state
 blank calling for a return on boun- ties paid on foxes killed within bounds of the town which is terminous within the city. Three bills calling for the repeal of the bounty on foxes are now
 being considered by the committee on | fisheries and game and it is thougnt this committee wishes to know how | many foxes have been Killed the past year and what the slaughter has cost l the state.
 The present law provides that who- ever snail kill wild fox in the state
 shall receive S1 from the town treasur-
 CT after surrendering to him the skull
 and skin attached, receiving back. the
 skin The treasurer then must destroy
 the skull. A false affidavit in the mat ter is penallzed by imprisonment in the county jail for six months. The town
 treasurer receives 15 cents as a fee for
 receiving the $1.

 Hillhouse property, and West Rock park is frequented by them; and many have been killed in Maltby woods, just
 over the city line.

The Heavenly Anthem.

Hark! So strange a sound is swelling l am wonder awed and led To ask the cause Evry breeze by
 springtime waited
 Over natures sleeping head Freighted seemed with mystic move-
 ment.
 Nearer comes subtle tread. Softer seemed the fitting cloudlet, Richer strain in song of bird, Cleaning water seaward dancing,
 Sweetest music ever heard Winds caressing folded petals,
 Win in wooings witehery. Why the whole world caught enchant- ment,
 Seemed profoundest mystery. Hark again. The sound grows fuller, Hear you not as now I can, | Angel fingers sweeping heartstrings
 For the brotherhood of man? | Bow the head to catch the music!
 Raise it now yon rift to scan Peace on EarthF Ye nations, sing it | With Columbia in the van | BARBERRY BITTERSWEET.

would go to the bottom of this phe- nomenon, for it is manifestly a source of humiliation that in city the size of New Haven its political future may be determined at any one time by the saloon vote. It is incredible and we do not credit the saloonKeepers with ac- knowledging any such influence on their part apart from the sympathy of those in charge of the city govern ment. There is nothing illegitimate in the influence of saloons as 90 many little mass meetings, always in session. That is human. There is everything that is illegitimqte in saloon inlu- ence which is built up and added to by the corrupt favor of the political par ty in power. Perhaps the best way to determine the question of the exact in fluence of the saloon vote would le to enforce the liquor laws dispassion- ately and indiscrininately. We should then be on the trail of the significance of the saloon vote. To-day 1t is con fusing subject.

It is safe to say that the next Gen eral Assembly will not modify the corrupt practices act for the benefit of those who did not take the trouble to acqualnt themselves with its provi- sions and who in consequence now find themselves in conflict with the courts of law, It will be recalled that those who predicted changes in the law two years ago when the law went first into effect were disappointed and got instead an enlargement of its power.
 It was not known here among many that the law as at present phrased requires of delegates to conventions that they too make reports to the town clerk of their expenses. In consequence they are liable to arrest and fine Before their cases are dis posed of they announce that at the next session of the legislature the law will be changed to fit their condition It is stated: There has been a lot ot grumbling about the inconvenience the delegates have been put to, which has resulted in the plan to have the section repealed"
 When it Is understood that one ot tho principal sources of political cor, ruption is the money expended to sent delegates to out of town convention! and that the law cannot discriminate between out of town and home con ventions the movement now threaten ed will fall of it's own weight. Loca delegates should be glad to make re ports if in doing so a greater cause i strengthened. The real trouble witt the law is that it's provisions were no known. The law is all right. l

GERMANY'S PROSPERITY.

Germany has not been as prosper
 ous as this country, but it has been prosperous. This prosperity has, of course, pleased the Emperor, who in his speech at Memel told his subjects how much better off they were than they had been. This of course moved the Socialists to protest. They point out that the income-tax returns for the year 1892 enumerated 1,659 per- sons with a taxable income of more than $25,000, and that by 1906 the number in this category had risen to 3,173, or nearly 100 per cent. The to- tai income of this group rose from $100, 900, 900 to nearly $200, 900, 900, or over 50 per cent, and the average in- come from $56,O0O to S62,000. As far as this category is concerned the Elm peror's conclusions, they say, may be justified. On the other hand, the aver age income of persons with taxable income of from $22l to $750 fell dIr, ing the same period from about $34O to $332. Out of total population in Prussia of 37,0OO,O00, more than 2O,- O0O,00O do not pay income-tax; in oth- CT words, this large proportion draws an annual income of less than S225,

4 DUBIOUS CRUSADE.

Some of the antitrust crusades look more promising At the start than the one that has just been started in Mis- souri, where, upon the request of At torney- General Hadley, the chief jus tice of the State Supreme court has appointed special commissioner to take testimony to determine whether there Is a fire insurance trust doing business in that Commonwealth, Should the finding of the commission CT be in the affirmative the attorney general will bring custer proceedings against slxty-nine fire underwriting companies. These companies are members of the Western insurance union, but their methods are practical l ly identical with those of all other as- sociations in the country, so the result of this probe will be awaited with in- terest all over the country. It will be sought to prove that these companies act in the capacity of trust in the establishment of rates, though the in- dependent companies use the same rate books. which the companies themselves do not make up, but pur- chase from rating bureaus.
 It is said that MT Hadley regards the action of the National Board of Fire Underwriters in visiting the cities of Missouri and inspecting conditions as a violation of antitrust laws, If 1t is, the antitrust laws aren't what they ought to be. This Board has done much to lessen the fire loss, and in- stead of being forbidden to visit a State it ought to be most cordially in- vitedsto do it.

THE COCKTAIL TRAGEDY AGAIN.

T Al IL OOCh A1AL ED4 U<tIA
 The latest is that woman ordered the tragic cocktails which Vice-Presi- dent Fairbanks served to President Roosevelt and that neither the Vice. President nor the President knew anything about them until they ap- peared.
 It has all along seemed probable that some polite, considerate person who thought more hospitably than po- litically was the author of that trage- dy. If the statement that it was wo- man Is correct what happened shows that she made a good guess when she guessed that the cocktails would be appreciated. They were, and that they were delighted her hospitable soul. She didn't think far enough or deep enough to discern that her benevolence and beneficence might be transmuted 1 into disaster and therein she didn't dif- fer from some men who have provid- ed banquets More evil Is wrought by want of thought than by want of heart, said the poet, and yet, we sup pose, the poet himself might not have thought what those cocktails would do had he been the dispenser of them.
