STRIKE NOT So LARGE
FIFTY CARPENTERS OUT
Other JourneymenAre Seek ing Work in Other
 Cities.

The reports of the carpenters strike have been grossly exaggerated accord ing to the statement to the Journal and Courier by a prominent labor official last night. It was stated that by no means Is there a sympathetic strike of the carpenters in behalf of the mill workers, involving some 600 of the journeymen Carpenters union.
 There are,' said the official, about fifty carpenters who have quit work on jobs where non-union labor was en- ployed But that is all. Probably 90 carpenters have recently left New Ha- ven to seek work in other parts of the state"
 It was acknowledged, however, that the strike of the mill hands has inter- fered with the contracts of the David N. Clark company, Charles w. Mrr- dock, and James F. Todd.
 One of the biggest local contracts that is tied up is the new public school building at Winchester avenue and Ivy streets. The David H. Clark company has the contract for the wood work construction and has been forced to stop work.
 Building Inspector J. E. Austin, when questioned regarding the effect of the strike on the fall operations, said that as yet the season has not fully opened. When the shore so1ourners have re- turned their building plans are likely to strike a snag in the present strike situation. There are no signs of sur render.

Yours respectfully,
AGAINST SPECIAL LEGISLATION.

Willimantic, Conn, Sept 3, 1907.
 Col. N. c. Osborn.
 My Dear sir:--Whlle have no pride of opinion about the matter 1t seems to me that return to annual sessions of the general assembly would be step backward.
 1 was born and reared in Massachu- setts where they have annual sessions which last about six months out of ev- cry twelve. and l confess that when came to Connecticut seventeen years ago I was prejudiced against biennial sessions but after having 1t under ob- servation all these years both from the outside and from the inside and having been member of the house of repre- sentatives the past two sessions 1 am free to say that I like the biennial sys-
 tenn best.
 It seems to me that the reason for
 continuing 1t are just as good as they were in the Asst place for It's inaugura-
 ton.
 What we need is not change to an- nua1 sessions, but a change in our or
 ganic law which will do away with most of the special legislation which
 takes probably more than one-half of the time of the members and which in my opinion Is responsible for most of the trading of votes which is repre- hensible and should be abolished. He will be public benefactor who will formulate such a law. or laws as shall accomplish this result l do not believe in time limit. It is better that the work be done well than that 1t should be done quickly. I think that Governor Woodruff struck the keynote to the situation when he advised that members be returned as long as they do efficient work and represent their constituents
 Could any business concern thrive and do it's best work with such frequent changes of managers and help? Theoretically or at least in many respects, the state is a business Organization and as such it is entitled 1 to business administration but that is far from possible under present con- dtions.
 That there is considerable uneasiness | throughout the state in regard to these matters cannot be denied, but why should the press and the people criticize unduiy? It Is their problem as well as that of the general assembly. Far bet | ter than criticism would be a remedy which should be offered not in general terms, but workable, detailed propo-
 sition which can be placed upon the statute books. I acknowledge that 1 cannot do 1t. Let him who can stand up Let him present the proposed so- | tuition to the next general assembly for | It's consideration. Yours truly, VIM. l.. HIGGINS.

right to call for new election every time some individual, or a small body of men became dlsgruntled, and thereby keep a town in continuous political ferment. But when any re- spectable portion, say one third of the voters of town called for a new elec- ton, they should have hearing and a new election should be held But probably the fact being known that a new election could be held and leg islator could be retired in disgrace, would cause the legislators to follow their conscientious convictions of right, and to so attend to the affairs of the state, that there would never be any necessity to supercede legisla- tor for the cause of dishonesty or in- attention to duty.
 Pardon me for this intrusion, but would like to have these thoughts presented to the voters of the state, for their consideration.
 Very respectfully,
 VIM. w.. WHEELER.

SHERLOCK H0LNES" NIGHT
TONIGHT AT WHITE CITY
An Event That Will Provide More Fun Than One Can
 Possibly Imagine.

Tonight at the White City there will be more fun than you can shake a stick at" It will be Sherlock Holmes Night" and for free and easy amusement there has been nothing that will approach to equalling it. To those who do not know what a "Sher- lock Holmes Night is, the following will explain:
 Between the hours of 7:30 and 8:30 a lady and a gentleman will enter the White City from some point separate ly, each one carrying a five-dollar bill The gentleman will give the i've dollar bill to the first lady who accosts him, and, with her hand outstretched and smile on her face, will say, Have you got my five dollars? 2" The lady will give the five dollars to the first gentleman who accosts her, tips his hat and, with a smile on his face, says, Have you got my five dollars 2"
 Between 'S:90 and 9:30 D. m., an- other lady and gentleman will appear in the White City, entering from some point, and each will have six dollars to give away to the first one of the opposite sex that accosts her or him, following above directions and say, Have you got my six dollars2"
 Between 9:30 and 10:30 the same thing will happen, only the person will have seven dollars to give away.
 It is essential that every lady take the greetings in good-natured way, smile and be happy Thus everybody will enjoy himself and have good time.
 Don't forget tomorrow night "The End of the World" in fireworks dis play never before equalled in New England.
 On Saturday night Pandemonium Night will have the boards.

BRANDEGEE SAYS
 HE IS NEUTRAL Declares He Will Not Inter fere in the Lilley-Lake
 Gubernatoria1
 Contest.
BOTH ASPIRANTS
 KNOW HIS POSITION
Does Not See Why His Friends Should Have Ill., Feeling Against
 Lilley.

Hartford, Sept. 4.-United States Senator Franz B. Brandegree of New London was a visitor to this city to- day. He came with Senator Bulkeley.
 Senator Brandegree afterwards stat ed that hls business with Senator Bulkeley was entirely of 8 personal nature and had nothing whatever to do with public affairs, and, least of all, with the contest for the republican nomination for governor. His bust- ness was connected with the Aetna Life Insurance company, of which Senator Bulkeley is the president.
 Senator Brandegree was asked about his position relative to the gubernator- ial contest in the republican party
 My position k, and will be a strict ly neutral one. have told both MT. Lilley and Mir. Lake that i will not, in any way, interfere in the contest. do not think I should interfere. The republicans of the state elected me to be one of the representatives of the state in the United States senate, and the people expect that I shall attend to my duties as senator" replied Sem ator Brandegree.
 Senator do your friends, and they are legion, hold the same position of neutrality as between Mir Lake and MT. Lilley?"
 My friends thoroughly understand my position. They know that what ever candidate they favor is matter of indifference to me. They are in no way influenced .by their friendship. personal Or politicAl, for me in their preference of a caA1idate for gover- nor. Both Mr Lake and Mir. 1lley are my personal friends and they both know that am neutral in the contest between them. Last winter in Wash ington 1 told Mir. Lake that would keep my hands off the contest for gov- ernor, and told MT. Llley the same thing. There Is no misunderetanding of my position. have clearly defined It to MT. Lake and Mir. Lilley, and l mean to maintain It."
 By the way, senator don't some of your frineds still feel sore on account of MT. Lilley's opposition to you for senator in 19o5?"
 T don't see why they should. I don't feel sore about 1t. Before MT. Lilley did any work in behalf of the candidacy of Governor Mclean for senator I knew that he was opposed to me. He told me in Washington that he was In favor of Governor Mo- Lean, and I told him to support him. There has been absolute frankness be- tween Mir. Lilley and myself In say- ing this, however, I do not want to be understood as indicating in the slightest manner a preference for Mr. 1illey, am no more in favor of the nomination of Mir. Lilley than I am of MT Lake, and think very highly of both" replied Senator Brandegree
 How does your friend Congress- man Higgins, stand in relation to the two candidates?''
 T don't know. He has been in China and the Philippines all summer and we haven't had a chance to talk about the matter"

REPRESENTATIVE VETS.

New London, Conn. Col. N. c. Osborn, Editor,
 The Journal and Courier,
 New Haven, Conn. Dear Sir: In reply to your favor would say that believe that annual sessions of the General Assembly lim- tied to three months each, (January, February and March) would be a very great improvement over the present way of having one session every two years running from six to seven months.
 Special legislation is necessary in many cases and I see no reason that 1t should be restricted if properly safe- guarded. It seems to me that we would get better legislation with a short an- nual session.
 Yours truly,
