ONLY SPECIAL RATES GO UP.
President Of Western Union Explains
Recent Advance In Toll.


New York, April 2.-Concerning the
recently announced advance in tine
rates charged by the company, Colonel
R. G. Clowry, president Of the Western
Union Telegraph company, tonight
said
"There has been no large increase in
rates by the telegraph companies. A
number OF special and Improbable
rates have been increased to the stand
ard of schedule rates. These special
rates were discriminative against a
large number of places and were orig
inally established by competing com.
panies, which by reason thereof went
into bankruptcy.
"Most Of the rates increased were %
cents for 10 words rates. 1t costs al
least so cents each to handle such mes
sages for short distances at the present
time. The increases in the cost of tele.
graph material have been from 25 tC
100 per cent within the last few years
"In addition to the recent increases
OF 10 per cent in the salaries of al
managers and operators, there has beer
for years past a large and steady in
crease in wages Of all classes of indi
vidual employees from month to month
"There is no increase in the extrs
word rate, consequently the newspa
pers' rates remain the same"

 New York, April 4.-Wlth the excep- ton of the testimony of one more witt ness, who Is expected to reach New York to testify tomorrow, the plaintiff in the Lou Dillon-Major Delmar gold cup suit completed It's case, and the defense began the introduction of tes- tlmony to-day. The Memphis Trotting association seeks to recover the cup awarded to smathers after his geld ing, Major Delmar, had beaten Lou Dillon owned by c. K. Billings in 8 match race about two years ago.
 Robert McCully, veterinarian, tes- tifying for the plaintiff to-day, in an swer to a hypothetical question, based upon evidence submitted at the present trial, said that in his opinion the mare referred to in the question did not stop from natural causes on the day of the race, and that some drug such as aconite must have been administered
 Former Judge Coyne, in his opening address for the defense, declared that evidence would be offered to show that the charges of drugging brought by George Spears were not made until Spears had been discharged by Smath- CTS, and had failed to blackmail him. J, M. Schrieber, formerly state vet erinarian of Tennessee, took the stand for the defense, and testified that he attended Lou Dillon at the time of her attack, and that she was suffering from "thumps," and added that they were not caused by aconite.
 The hearing will be continued to- morrow.

HARRIMAN,S TRANSACTIONS.
Arguments Begun Before the Inter.
 stnte Commerce Commission.

state Commerce Commission.
 Washington, April 4.-Argument in the matter of F. H. Harriman's rail- road transactions Twas begun before the interstate commerce commission to- day The case commenced at 10 o'clock and when the commission adjourned for the day at 430 Mir. Harriman's attor- neys had not concluded their presenta- ton in his behalf. The first of the ser ies of addresses was made by Attorney Paul D. Cravath, who represented not only MT Hartman, but also Kuhn, Loeb & Co., and he was followed in the order by Judge R. s. Lovett and John G. G.illburn.
 Mir Cravath dealt especially with the Chicago and Alton recapitalization, while Mr. Lovett devoted most of his attention to the attack upon the consol- idation of the Union Pacific and the Southern Pacific roads, which was brought about largely through MT liar riman's instrumentality MT. Milburn had not concluded when the commis- sion adjourned, but so far as he went ne uedlL entlrely WllH the ufllOH Ol the two Pacific roads, MT. Cravath con ttended that the Chicago and Alton transaction had been misunderstood by both the commission and the public and he declared that the proceeding there followed was not unusual in fi- nancial transactions. Mir. Lovett also gave some attention to the Chicago and Alton affair, contending that the pub lie had suffered no loss on account of the method of the recapitalization. With reference to the Southern Pacific and Union Pacific roads he declared that they were not competing lines, but argued that even if they were the transaction had not been illegal because. the Southern Pacific had been purchas- ed outright by the Union Pacific, which was not in contravention of the consti- tuition. Mir. Milburn said that the gen eral application of the anti-trust law to the railroads of he country, as it was proposed to apply 1t in the Southern Pacific Union Pacific deal, would put every system upon the defensive and that most of them would have greater difficulty than would the Union Pacific system in meeting the attack.

AT NEW HAVEN THEATER
1.-THE GAMBLER OF THE VEST
 SCORES 4 HIT.

Received by Enthusiastic Audience
 That Filled Every Seat in the House
 -Is g Strong Play of Western Lite =
 Large Cast and Elaborate Setting
 To be Here Rest of the week.
 "The Gambler of the West" melo- drama of western life, by Owen Davis, opened at the New Haven theater last night for four performances. The house was filled from orchestra to gall lery, and the play went" from the very start If the real test of a play is whether people like it or not, "The Gambler of the Vest is a success. It is a melodrama of great rapidity of ac- tion and full of interesting situations. It deals with that life that is full of melodrama and excitement, the free and daring life of early Wyoming. The characters include cowboys, Indians and Mexicans, and western gamblers, just the sort of people to make trouble. The play includes four acts and eight CdI6lully COuSlTuCleu oSSiASS' IliS oSl- ting selaborate and the third act pre- sents realistic production of fire in the prairie.
 David Landau as Lucky Jack Cor ion, the gambler heads large cast of some twenty characters. He made the part one of strong appeal to the audi ence, and played throughout with a kind of simplicity and frankness which was gratifying and very effective. He also has an unusually good stage pres ence and a very distinct utterance. Marie Pavey as Mable Gray has the leading feminine role, one of difficulty, but which she played in an admirable style. All the parts are we'll taken. IL would be well to mention Mike Clancy of the Bar x ranch, as portrayed by Joseph Slater. He is certainly the most villainous villain who ever trod the New Haven boards.
 oThe Gambler of the West" is here tonight and Saturday with matinee on Saturday afternoon, and crowded houses are sure to be the rule at all of the performances.

(Continued from First Page.) that he had been informed that there was to be continuance of the hearing until next week. He objected to this, unless the people opposed to the re- moval could nave their last say. Rep- resentative Higgins said that he under stood that it had been fixed up with the committee to continue the hearing after those opposed to the measure were heard to-day, and if that was the case he thought it was not fair thing to do.
 Senator Judson urged that the com mittee grant all the time possible so that all the light possible could be thrown on the proposition He wanted to know what argument could be ad' vocated that would support the propo- sition that we shall not have light. He said. that a message from the chief ex- ecutive should have decent attention and hoped that he had not arrived at

the time when we cannot be informed He said he desired to have light on the matter that would enable him to vote intelligently on the matter and that he thought every member of the general assembly did likewise. He did not think that Dr. Higgins was a member of the creed that did not want light. Senator Judson said that it was most singular | that when the chief executive of the state recommended a certain measure that there should be an attempt to act upon it unless every one was enlighten- ed He hoped the committee would take plenty of time to consider wheth- ed the subject was important enough to recommend.
 J. H. Hale of Glastonbury said that while he had always been a strong sup porter of tho Storrs college in its pres ent place ile thought it could be remov- ed and that there should be a consolida- ton of the various agricultural inter- ests in the state as suggested in the resolution.
 Dairy Commissioner Noble, F. H. Stadtmuller of West Hartford, H. e. c. Miles of Milford, secretary of the State Pomological society, and Mr. Putnam of Litchfield, spoke in favor of the reso- lution and in the debate as to the time of future hearings. Former Attorney General King, Dr. Higgins. Judge Clark and MT, Stanley all interested in the retention of the college at stbrrs had their say. Attorney King wanted the hearing to extend two more days and to have his side heard last as did the others and chairman finally an nounced that the other hearings would be on Tuesday as scheduled and If nec- essary third one would be held later.
