BOY RUNS CAR
Took It From Car Barn and Mar roWIy Escaped Running h.
 10 a Train.

New Haven, May 28.-John Deg nan, a IA year old boy, who lives on Saltonstall avenue and who has given the police more or less trouble lately as result of his actions about thes car barns of the Consolidated Railway Go in Grand avenue, nearly caused a serious wreck to-day. He became suddenly demented, entered the car barn, manned trolley car and ran the car out of the barn at high speed. As he rounded the curve leading to the main track he just missed hitting the Montowese express by few feet. The car from Montowese was coming toward the city at fast clip and had shot by the barn when Degnan and his car made the turn onto the track on which the regular car was running.
 Degnan jumped from his car soon after it reached the main track and let it run, wide open, up the avenue. The power was shut off soon after ward, however, and the car ran but a short distance. The boy then ran down to a church on Grand avenue and was sitting in pew when the police found him. He was taken to the Grand avenue station and after short rest he was given sharp talk by Captain Brewer and later dis charged. It is thought that the boy is mentally unbalanced and he prob ably will be cared for by the city authorities.

CONTROLLERS FEE.
He Got Big Pull Out of the Regis tration of Railway Bonds.

Hartford, May 2S.-The recent opinion of Attorney General Marcus H. Holcomb on the question of the registration by the state of the $2,- 500,000 of Shore Line railway bonds has brought to light the fact that 1t has been the custom in the past for the state comptroller to charge 25 cents for each $1.000 railroad and railway bond registered as personal fee. There is apparently no law authorizing such charge which has been merely matter of custom and precedent. With the exception Of the Shore line bonds as far as known no street railway bonds have been presented to the present comptroller for registration. While the law provides that any bonds issued by railroad or railway companies under the general act must be registered with the comptroller there are known to have been important excep- tions in Nthe past. notably of about nine millions of Connecticut Railway and Lighting four and one-half per cent general mortgage bonds and which were made specially exempt from registration those bonds in con- sequence not bearing the controllers signatu-e. It is stated also that in cases where the state treasurer had been made trustees for corporation bond holders a similar fee has been taken.

RICHARD IS HIMSELF AGAIN.
"The Poor Devil" Made a Big Hit at
 Polls Last Night.

Waterbury was the dog last night. But Waterbury does not mind, the aG- dience was most enthusiastic to a man in declaring "The Poor Devip' one of the brightest, funniest and most novel in plot that has visited the Brass City in many days.
 The comedy written by Harry and Edward Paulton. the authors of ''Er- mimic" is original in plot and con- struction, full of laughter and tears. It is simple and homely, direct and forceful. It also has that most unusual quality of good first act, followed by better second and third acts, in which complications. so simple and logical. yet hilariously funny follow.
 The character of the old dye inventor Is most lovable and human and as played by Mir Golden, excels any thing that this excellent comedian tas done in years. He Is tender. quaint. loving and lovabIe in his homely phil osphy during his troubles and Is most convincing and funny in his misinter- pretation of his midnight visitor and his sudden prosperity. The scene in which he mistakes the financier for the devil and the complications following are most plausible and are made the most of by Mir Golden.
 This piece should establish him for all time as the only fitting successor to Joseph Jefferson, Sol Smith Russell and Denman Thompson. While origin al and strictly himself in everything he does Mir Golden seems by his art, humor and lovable simplicity to he the only logical successor to any or all of these great and lovable men and he has only needed the right play to bring him his full and deserved meas ure of success. This "The Poor Deyil' seems likely to do.
 A word of praise is also due to the excellent company and setting which the Shuberts have surrounded Mir Golden with.

HIGH CLASS BEEF
Post Mortem Examination oi Cows and Heiiers Weeds
 Out the Poor Ones.

Chicago, May 2S.-Because of the enforcement by the big packers of their new rule requiring post nor tenn inspection of cows and heifers as a condition of purchase, only the high class grades of. beef were sold at the stock yards yesterday for the Chicago trade.
 It was the first day of the enforce ment of the post mortem rule and the first skirmish between the packers and the shippers of livestock and the commission men. The big packing firms did not succeed in buying a solitary COW or heifer, according to the returns made to the commission men at the close of business. None of the 5000 animals numbered in the list of the days receipts as COW stuff" remained unsold, however, all being sent to other cities and on this showing the commission men insist ed that the big firms were routed in the first skirmish.
 The sales, however, were at prices from 10 to 20 per cent below she range of prices at the close Of last weeks market.
 Causes that contributed to the sue cess of the commission men in their efforts to sell out everything were the cooperation of the shippers in the country and the demands of the independent" trade. Renewed ap- peals to. the country buyers and ship pers to keep their cows and heif- CTS" out of the Chicago market tor the. present were sent out over the wires.

NEWS IS CONFIRMED
Nineteen Men Sentenced 10 Die For Attempt on the Eife of
 President Cabrera

Mexico City, May 2s.-Full con firmations or the suicide. of four prominent Guatemalans and the im- prisonment and sentencing to death of nineteen men suspected of com plicity in the attempted murder of President Cabrera early this month, has been received through officials and private channels. The state de- partment received telegram stating that the Guatemalan people were so incensed at the sentence imposed on the nineteen suspects that Cabrera has decided that these cases be taken to the court of second in- stance for revision. Pending the ac- tion of this tribunal. the diplomatic corps is withholding the contem- plated collective note demanding that the imprisoned men be given a fair trial.
 According to private telegram the four men who gave up their lives because of the incident were Dr Julio V. Blanco, Dr Joerge A, Villa, Dr Echeverria and Baltasar Rodil, civil engineer. All of the men were wealthy and. belonged to the first families of the republic. The story of the capture and sub sequent death of these men is dra. matic. As soon as the mine wat sprung they left Guatemala City be- cause, it is said, they feared that Cabrera would trump up charge against them. They returned later and went into hiding.
 | General Vivaduery of the Guate malan army heard of their return and, going to the aged mother oi Echeverria, pointed a revolver al her breast and forced her to disclose the hiding place of the men. The police surrounded the house and { battle ensued in which Commandan Moreno and another ofilcer were killed. Achievements were ther called for and 300 of the regular army surrounded the house.
 The official report says the foul men thereupon committed suicide Tie soldiers took their bodies ant threw them in sewers in the suburbs of the city. This act so incensed thu people that the diplomatic corps wal appealed to, and Minister Gambo; demanded the bodies. Upon thes' representations they were. flnall, turned over and later buried witl great honors.
 Later the nineteen suspects wer' imprisoned and sentenced to deatl by court martial proceedings.

dangerous class, particularly un-mar- ried men. They were made subject to burdensome restrictions. Married people who lived separate from one another were regarded almost as criminals. The authorities in many cases insisted upon banishment.
 "The modern view is broader. While domestic duties must absorb the attention of the vast majority of women and should never be looked upon with aversion and contempt, we allow and expect that many women indulge in other activities.
 "The primitive Connecticut view was, that If the women were not married they ought to be married as soon as possible. If for any reascn they found 1t impossible to live com formtably with their husbands they should be at once divorced and i'm medIately married to somebody that they could live with. Therefore they reflected the institution of judicial separatfon from bed and board al contrary to the interest of the state ss tending to immortality.

THE JAP ROW
Attorney General BonaparleS Says Stories of Japanese Outrage
 Were Exaggerated
POOR POLICE SERVICE

Washington. May 2S.-At the cabi- net meeting here to-day Attorney General Bonaparte laid before the president and Secretary Root the re- port of District Attorney Deylin of San Francisco on the alleged assault on Japanese residents of that city. MT Bonaparte said the report showed that the first stories of the alleged assault were exaggerated and that the difficulty appeared to be lack of police protection on account of the street car troubles.
 San Francisco, May 2S.--Unired States District Attorney Robert F. Deylin and. United States Marshal c. T. Elliott have begun an investigation of the wrecking of Japanese restau- rant on Folsom street several weeks ago.
 According to the police reports, the trouble started between a union team -ster and two union fathers. The form CT, contrary to union principles was eating in Japanese restaurant when the fathers entered and demanded of the teamster that he leave the place or give up his union button. The teamster refused to do either and a fight ensued during which the tables were upset and dishes broken. At tratced by the fight, crowd gathered and wrecked the front of the resrau- rant before the police arrived. K. Yatsubara, acting Japanese con- sul, and his secretary, D. $. Richard son. spent some time with Deylin yes terday who later took the statements of the Japanese restaurant keepers.
 Mir Devlin said: "I have not com pleted my investigation but have tcle' graphed to Washington the facts have learned so far. nm merely talk ing the statements of both sides and will make the attorney general ac' quainted with the facts ill the case.
 The police were unable to furnish the names of any of the participants in the attack.

Later the governors sincerity of purpose in sending in the messages was defend ed in speeches of equal warmth. The veto messages were considered together and add bearing upon the Windsorville and East Hartford and the Waterbury and Milldale Tram way companies.
 The bill protecting the insignia of societies, labor unions and associa. tions was called from the calendar and passed.
