NEW BRITAIN BANK CASE.
Merchants Complaining That Their Re-
 ceipts Are Falling of.


 New Britain, March 6.-Merchants here state that during the past two weeks their receipts have been falling off materially, and many of them are ascribing 1t to an indirect effect of the dedication of William F. Waalker, former treasurer of the Savings Bank of New Britain The merchants claim that the ninety-day rule being enforc ed by the Savings Bank of New Brit ain is having the effect of having the people to be verey careful in spending money, so as to have some always on hand.
 At a meeting of the directorate of the bank tomorrow steps will ge talk en to increase the membership of the board of directors. This, it Is stated, can be done at this time only by legis- lative action, and that unles some ac- tion is taken by the legislature pre- hitting the increase the directors will have to wait until the annual meeting in July
 No trace has yet been found of ! Walker, it was tated here tonight.

Declares That When Harry Came
 Home in 1903 He Seemed Depressed
 and Apparently Had Lost All In-

 Roth Show Consideration for Wit
 ncss-Harry Told Her That the
 Wickedest Man in All New York Had
 Ruined His Life.
 New York, March 6.-Another dra- matic chapter was added to the history of the trial of Harry K. Thaw for the murder of Stanford White to-day, when the gray-haired mother of the defend- ant took the witness statnd to con- tribute what she might toward saving her wayward boy from the death-dan- ger which menaces him. Mrs. Thaw' S story before the jury was brief. When Dolphin Delmas had deftly limited her examination to the change she had noted in her sons condition following his return from Paris in 1908, after Evelyn Nesbit had told him her story, and when District Attorney Jerome had, with the greatest respect and con- sideration, conducted a short and in- effectual cross ss-examination, the moth- CT love welled strong in Mrs. TAaw, and she felt she had not done her all. She was loath to leave the witness chair
 "There is the question of heredity" she protested when both Mr. Delmas and MT. Jerome told her she might step down.
 T have asked you, madam, all that is considered necessary" said Thaw's attorney with the utmost deference
 Mrs. Thaw half rose, hesitated, and was about to sit down again, when the leading counsel for the defense offered her his hand to assist her from the stand.
 Twice during her recital of the events which had caused her to fear that all was not right with her son, Mrs. Thaw broke down,and was unable to proceed. Her face flushed, and she made an effort to speak, but the words would not come. After few moments Justice Fitzgerald asked solicitousIy if she felt able to proceed, and Mrs. Thaw, evidently much chagrined that her great grief had overcome her strong will of resistance, nodded in the affirmative. She declined glass of water, made an effort once mora to proceed, but failed. Justice Fitzgerald then interposed a relief. for which the elderly woman facing him must have been deeply grateful. He said that as many of the witness remarks had been uttered in a veery low voice it would be necessary to have the stenographer read all her testimony up to that time to the jury. When the reading was ended, Mrs. Thaw had regained her composure, and was able to proceed to the end of her narrative.

 Theater Disaster.

Danville, H., March 6.The trial of Will J. Davis, charged with man. slaughter on account of the loss of nearly 500 lives in the Iroquois theater fire at Chicago on December 30, 1903, tonight is now at standstill so far as evidence is concerned, and promises to be tied up in the courts indefinitely on legal points that may be carried to the supreme court before the trial itself can go on. The witnesses have been released and have returned to Chicago, subject to further notice,
 When the prosecution had finished it's statement to the jury to-day the defeinse waived the right of address temporarily. The prosecution had scarcely began to question the first witness when the defense objected to the entire proceedings, and moved to have the case dismissed.

President Melien Speaks to Boston Men
 on Steamship Sale.

Oh SteuluShiV SAlSs
 Boston, March 6.-President Charles s. Mellen of the New York, New Ha- ven & Hartford railroad intimated to- day at a meeting of Boston business men and Mayor Fitizgerald, who had called upon him to protest against the sale of the Long Island soulid steam ship lines to the company controlled by Charles w. Morse, that the stock holders of the sound lines, if an oppof- tunity offered, would sell their noid- ings despite the antagonistic feeling of such a transaction on the part of Bos- ton merchants. President Mellen said that mans pocketbook was an ex- tremely sensitive possession, and he thouhgt there was no doubt that if the stockholders were offered three or four times the amount hey paid for the stock in the sound lines, they would sell He told the merchants, however, that they should stand shoulder to shoulder and fight for the best trans portation facilities.
 He held out q hope that the matter of the sale of the sound lines would be held in abeyance for some time.
 The principal speech in protest was made by Mayor John F. Fitzgerald, and at the close of the meeting the mayor expressed himself as being we'll satisfied with the conference.

HEARING FOR WOMAN
 FACTORY INSPECTOR WOMEN REPRESENTING FARE OUS CLUES OF THE STATE
 PRESENT.

Professor Fisher of Yale Followed by Mrs. F. c. Porter of This City,
 Makes Long Statement Which Proves to be Both Interesting and Convinc-
 ing-Time Has Come When Woman
 Inspector in This State is q Ne-
 cessity-Applauded Heartily on Fin-
 ishing Her Statement.
 Hartford, March 6.--The hall of the house of representatives was well filled this afternoon at the hearing of the labor committee, of which Senator Chase, of Waterbury. is chairman, on Senator Luther's bill concerning the appointment of woman deputy fac- tory inspector to act as one of the regular deputies of the state inspector. Women representing various clubs and societies in the state, and others who had had wide experience with factory women and girls, were on hand and several spoke. No one opposed the bill, and from the remarks made it would seem that the manufacturers and ern- ployers in the state are strongly in fa- yor of legislation whiei3 would result in the appointment of such an inspec- tor. In fact, Lawyer Charles E. Gross, of this city, one of those who drew up the bill, said that from 450 circular lett ters explaining the bill sent to the lead- ing manufacturers and employers throughout the state he had received only one reply which was not favora- ble to the passage of the bill, and the writer of that wanted to have his name kept quiet
 The bill provides for the appointment. by the governor, of commission of three women, who shall select a candi- date for the position the appointment to be made finally by the state factory inspector. The duties of the inspector will be to inquire into and enforce the laws relating to the employment of women and girls in any manufacturing, mechanical or mercantile establish- ment, and to investigate and report on the conditions relating to the health and welfare of these women The ap-a pointee is to have all the powes of the other deputies, excepting that she shall have no power or duty in respect to any appliances or machinery, excepting sanitary fixtures. The salary attached to the place will be $5 a day.
 After Professor Irving Fisher, of Yale, made a few remarks on the i'm portance of such all inspector Mrs, r. c. Porter, of New Haven, made a long statement which proved to be most in- teresting and convincing. She said that the time had come when a woman inspector in this state was a necessity, and told of the great benefits that would result to employer and employe if the state could have woman dep- uty. She quoted from letters and re- ports of various women factory inspec- tors throughout the country giving an account of the results accomplished. She said that, from moral and s1ni- tary standpoint, the appointment of a woman deputy would work wonders in the state. Mrs Porter said that woman inspector could get close to the wants and hear the complaints of the 52,00O women and girls in Connecticut far better than a man, and that tho information that would be available fo1

Cleveland, March 6.-The News to- day says: Dan R. Hanna will offer no defense to the charges of gross negli- gence, abandonment and extreme cru city laid against him in his wife's suit for divorce, filed yesterday.
 Mrs. Hanna's petition for divorce will not be contested, the question of ali- mony will be left to agreement between counsel, and even on the subject of the custody of the fiye-year-old daughter, named for her mother Elizabeth Cor don Hanna, there will be no contest.
 It is even probable that no answer will be filed, and that the decree will be allowed to issue without an appearance being entered by the defendant.

AMNESTY WANTED.
Russian Conservatives VIII Probably
 Present Such a Petition.

St, Petersburg, March 6-The pre- sentation by the lower house of par liament of unanimous petition for amnesty for all political offenders ex- cept those guilty of actual murder probably will result from a conference of the conservative deputies held to- night. At this meeting it was decided to support any request made by the liberal members of the house for the pardon of all persons imprisoned or exiled for revolutionary agitation or propaganda whose hands were not &C., tually stained with blood. The radl- calls desire to make this demand in- clude those guilty of murder, but in order to reach unanimous vote they probably will consent to a separation of the two classes and present an ap- peal for the terrorists as a separate motion.
 The central committee of the consti- tutional democrats also held an impor- tant meeting to-day to hear the report of M. Golovin, president of the lower house, on his audience with Emperor Nicholas, and to consider the socialist protest against the candidacy for the vice-prestdency of the lower house of M Teslinko The emperor's cordial re- ception of M. Golovin and his declara- tion of good will toward parliament created an excellent impression on the central committee and dispelled the lingering fears that the governing body was seeking only a good opportunity to dispo7se this second parliament and rule the country until successor be brought together It is evident that the emperor is not vexed at the refusal of the radical deputies to honor his name in the opening ceremonies of the house yesterday by rising.
