10. 0. F. ENCAMPMENT
Grand Patriarch Wedge Active in
 Adding Members to Order.

Grand Patriarch Nestor E. Wedge and his associate grand officers of the grand encampment, I. O. O. F., have been quite active in organizing a movement in the encampment branch of Odd Fellowship in this state, which they hope will be most effective in adding to the membership of this branch of the order. At the coming anniversary of the order on April 26, the S8th since 1t was founded in this country, an effort will be made to place before every member the ad- vantages of the patriarchial branch of Oddfellowship in an effort to se- cure individual cooperation to the extent of asking each member of the encampment to induce a member of the order from the subordinate lodges to join the encampments and also to individual members.

STATE POLICE ALERT
And Local Men We're on the
 Lookout Yesterday.

Because of rumors that the state police were likely to drop into this city yesterday. proprietors of wine emporiums were somewhat leery about inviting guests into their places of business. The local de- pertinent also had its eye open, con sequently although the lid was not on so very tight, nevertheless very little could be squeezed through it into the can.
 Two weeks ago Saturday State Pc lice Oficer Hurley, who has his domi- cile in Willimantic. dropped into the city and called at the police station. Although he remained only a short time and declared that his visit was simply of a friendly nature, yet the dispensers of appetizing inebriants were little bit shy of taking too much of chance. But the spotters did not arrive in the city of brass. or at least they were not spotted, con- sequently the lid was laid on the shelf again.
 Yesterday there was another ru- nor that unwelcome guests might do the rounds and this, with the fact that the police were unusually viz liant as regards sight seeing, knocked the bottom out of the market.

ROAD A BANKRUPT.
Attorney General Stead Scores liar.
 riman's Alton Deal.

SPRINGFIELD, H.. April s.--Attor- ney General Stead has handed Gov ernor Deneen an opinion on the manip- ulations of the Chicago and Alton rail road properties within the last few years by E. H. Hartman and some of his financial associates. including G. J. Gould, James Stillman and Morti. mer L. Schiff.
 The opinion is given in response to a request communicated from Govern. or Deneen soon after the return of Governor Deneen and Attorney Gen. eral Stead from a conference with President Roosevelt at Washington. in which the attorney general was asked to advise what his conclusions are in the matter and what action, if any. is contemplated by the legal department of the state.
 After setting out at some length the various manipulations to which the railroad corporations and properties forming the Alton system were sub jected Attorney General Stead con cludes there Is not the least doubt that a civil remedy exists against the fnanciers who have wrecked this pros- porous railroad company and at the expense of innocent stockholders and bondholders have gathered to them selves a harvest of millions of dollars.
 Mir. Stead Is doubtful. however. whether it is the province of the state of Illinois to enforce the remedy. The revocation of the company's charter. which apparently would be the natural procedure on the part of the state. would bring most of the suffering upon innocent stockholders. Hartman and his friends having already unloaded a large portion of their holdings.
 According to the figures set out in Mir Stead's opinion. Hartman and his associates made total profit of $24,- 64s.60O out of their operations involv- ing the Alton properties. As result of this enormous profit to themselves the railroad companies of the Alton system are thrown into hopeless bank ruptcy.
 The indebtedness of the companies. as shown by the figures in Mir. Stend's opinion. has been increased a total of ss0.646.21s since they fell into Harri- mans hands. Of this amount only s22. 2.Jo0.Ooo. according to Harriman's own testimony. says the attorney gen eral. was incurred for improvements, betterments or extensions of the roads. Says the attorney general:
 -Over s5I .000O00 of this indebtedness. or more than 70 per cent of the entire indebtedness. created by this syndi- cate upon the properties of these sev- eral companies. was not created in furtherance of any legitimate purpose for which a railroad company is or csn be organized under the statutes of the state of Illinois

MASS MEETING HELD
To Protest Against Ouirages on
 Jews in Roumania.

The mass meeting in City hall last night to protest against outrages committed upon Jews in Roumania. was well attended. Benjamin Wit kowski presided. and addresses were delivered by Mayor W. E. Thoms. At torney J. E. Lauber and Judge George H. Cowell, the last named being the principal speaker. He con tended for the square deal all around. A part and parcel of this great nation," he said. "the Jews will soon be able to insist that this nation interfere when outrages occur. I believe in the humanitarian idea. We are truly our brothers keeper. I believe that the president has right to say to the rulers of the old world that they must do justice or there will be trouble. While am not an advocate of the big stick, or the strenuous life. nor believe that the president should go around with a chip on his shoulder, am sure that the American people will stand by him when he demands that the rights of man shall be protected. If he would resolutely demand and plead that the rulers of Europe should better conditions, they would yield. l advocate that he should say to them. Stop these terrible atroci- ties or we will sever all diplomatic relations with you A government, that cannot or will not protect the weakest class in the state from ex- actions and violence will and ought to crumble to the dust. It may be that the despotism of the old world will make its last stand along the Bosphorus. A demand for demo- cratic institutions is feature of the age in Europe"
 A rising vote of thanks was ex- tended to the speaker for his able treatment of the question. Besides the chairman and speakers the fol- lowing persons occupied seats on the platform:
 Joseph Bruck, Morris Goldstein, Sadly Sossin, representing the Degel Zion; Paul Fertelson of King David lodge, l. o. A. l.; Morris Stern and Solomon Sossin of the Territorialist society. and representatives of the Star of Waterbury lodge, l. o. B. A., and Brass City lodge, l. B. A. The receipts netted $92.75.

HORSE AND WAGON
Waterbury Mans Outfit Found
 in New Haven.

Attorney F. P. Guilfoile put the New Haven police department on its defense on charge of graft Satur- day afternoon. A horse, wagon and harness worth at least $200 were stolen from Felice Fotora last Thurs day. He informed Attorney Guil- foile of the matter and the usual mo- tice was sent out from the police station. Friday detective of the New Haven police department ob- served something strange about an outfit in the custody of man named Jones, who lives on Congress avenue. It was ascertained that Jones bought the property for $2O. Fotora was notified and he went to New Haven with his counsel. Jones refused to give up the outfit unless paid one- half of what it cost him. Attorney Guilfoile wanted the man arrested for receiving stolen property. This was a view of the matter which the police did not seem to take with favor. They knew that horse, har- ness and wagon could not be bought under honest circumstances by any one for $20, moreover when the property was visibly worth ten times that amount. They refused to ar rest Jones, but suggested that Fotora pay him what he asked, $10. This Fotora refused to do and the mat ter was then brought to the atten- tion of Chief-of-Police Wrinn. He investigated and saw nothing strange in the policemen's refusal to arrest Jones for receiving stolen property and their suggestion that Fotora pay Jones $10 for the outfit. Fotora left New Haven with his counsel, refus- ing the to pay the money, but yester- day he took a different view of the situation and went back and paid the money and returned with his horse, harness and wagon. If such an oc- currence took place in Waterbury the buyer of the outfit would have been arrested for receiving stolen goods. for anyone of sense should know that an outfit such as Fotor as could not honestly be purchased for $2O.

"All right, replied the customer, as he
handed over a dollar; the dealer hand
ing him back 10 cents In change.
Now said the dealer, IL want .

This the customer handed over. Now,
how much does the ak cost you:' IA
dollar and Is cents" answered the
man. Very well, remarked the dealer.
"Now, give me 5 cents more for money

purchaser also handed over. Now,
how much does your ak cost you?'
''One twenty said the Customer.
