WOULD UPSET IT.
Sheriffs Seek to Abolish Old
System of Transport
ing Prisoners.
CHANGE THEIR VIEWS
Bill to Have Criminals Taken
to Wethersfield by
Prison officials.
CHANGE THEIR VIEWS

A bill which has just been favorably
reported to the house by the Judiciary
changes the method Of trans
porting convicts to the state prison at
Wethersfeld. At present xthe prisoners
are taken from the county tails to
prison by the sheriffs, but under the
prt posed law the transfer would be
made by the warden of the prison or
by his officers.
The bill originated with the commit
tee and there was no public hearing on
1t. Some surprise has developed over
its incubation in the closing days of the
session. 1t is understood that the meas
ure was promoted by the sheriffs and
that they are quietly urging its pass
age.
Until June the sheriffs got fee OF
25 cents mile for each prisoner whom
they transported from Jail to prison.
II was easy money for the sheriffs. 1t
was one Of the sofIest snaps among the
many soft snaps which the sheriffs en-
1oyed. Under the salary system which
became operative on June the sheriffs
get no fees for conveying convicts to
Wethersfield. The fact that they re-
ceive no extra compensation for the
work is understood to be the basis Of
their desire to have the transportation
business shifted to the prison officials.
In the Legislative session of 1899
Michael Kenealy of Stamford, who
was then house leader, introduced by
request bill to have the duty Of
transferring convicts from Jail to pris-
ON taken out Of the hands of the sher-
ifs. The measure was referred to
the Judiciary committee. The sheriffs

BURIED BY A CAVE-IN
LAD IN NECK DEEP
Landslide Carried Roger
Marcio Down and Prisoned
Him for Two Hours.

BY the caving in of an excavation for
a new sewer in front Of 175 Frank
street about 4;45 yesterday afternoon,
Roger Marcio lad about ten years
old of ATS Washington avenue, was
buried up to his neck In sand and de-
Gus and plucky work on the part of
two men named Hickey and McAvoy,
who dug at the landslide for nearly two
hours, was the lad finally released
from his tomb. He was uninjured de-
spite the strenuous treatment.
Marcio's father was employed in the
construction of a connection from 175
Frank street, which is a new house,
to connect with the regular sewer. The
excavation was protected as usual
with boards. but apparently these were
not strongly placed. The lad stood at
the edge Of the excavation when the
boards gave way and the bank eaved
in carrying him down into the twelve
foot excavation and burying him help
Iessly up to his neck According to one
story, he was helping his father on
the work, while another statement is
that he was playing about the sewer.
AT the time of the accident his father
had gone away for something, Upon
his return he discovered the boy in his
tomb. Hickey and McAvoy, two neigh.
bors, set to work with the father and
despite the danger of bringing dowr
more earth in their work they succeed
ed in safely extricating the boy. He
made no trouble or cry until the mer
were quite near him when he protested
that they were hitting him with the
| shoYela.

G. 0. P. PLATFORM
PLEDGES IGNORED
Employers Liability Meas
ure Shifted Over to a
Future Legisla-
ture.
TRADE SCHOOL
BILL ALSO DEAD
Corrupt Practices Measure
Not Yet Taken Up Though
Recommended in
Platform.
Especial to Journal and Courier,

Hartford, July S.--The conttnuance OF
employers liability legislation until the
next session of the General Assemblv
can hardly be considered in keeping
with the platform Of the Republican
State Convention, which was adopted
at New Haven, September 90, 1908.
In that platform 1t was distinctly
stated;
The laws Of Connecticut in relatiou
to employers liability and the ASSESS
ment Of damages by the court in dam
age cases, have existed practically un-
changed since the formation Of the COLI
ony of Connecticut. and no Democrats
administration has taken action when
in power to change these laws. Ths
Republican party is the party OF pro-
gress and we recommend that the Gems
eral Assembly give these questions
full, fair, and impartial hearing, and If
IL is found that wrong or injustice Ii
being done under the existing laws that
such laws be changed so that Justice
shall be done to all citizens whatever
their pursuits or avocatiOns."
Tardily the legislature recommended
the appointment of commission by
the governor, which should consider
and report at the current session an
employers liability act Gov Woodruff,
carrying out the intent and spirit Of
the Republican platform, had advised
this course In order that the legislation
needed by the State might be consid-
cred and enacted this year The COM
mission was appointed, consisting Of
Edward M Day Of Hartford E. Allen
Moore of New Britain and Charles ].
Donahue Of Derby. On account Of the
eleventh hour, when the commission
was set at work, 1t was found to be
impossible to draft the bill that vas
needed to be enacted this year. If The
| platform had been adopted by the con-
vertion in good faith Governor Wood
| ruff believed that 1t had been so adopt
ed, and so far as his course was con-
cerned, it was taken in that faith. BY
the action of the General Assembly
everything relating to employers LA
bility will go over for two years.
1t still remains to be seen whether
the present legislature will stand by
| the platform recommendation Of Sep
tember 20, 1906, concerning the corrupt
/ practices act The promise in the plat
form on this point committed the RE-
publican party to standing by the re-
port and recommendations Of the CONS
mittee appointed by the last General
Assembly to consider the laws relating
/ to primaries, and the laws prohibiting
corrupt practices at elections, and urg-
ed the adoption of laws which will res
suit in giving the fullest and freest ex-
preston of the electors of the State in
the selection at the primaries Of cam
didates for office and viii guarantees

SHAEE-UP BY Mcclellan
MAYOR USES BIG STICK
Removes One Official, Ac-
cepts a Resignation and
Demands Another.

New York, July S.-Mayor Mcclellan
late to-day shook UP the city admin
istration, removing one official, accept
ing the resignation of a second and de-
manding the resignation of third.
Corporation Counsel William B. FL
lison was summarily dismissed, the
mayor giving as his reason for his ac-
ton the fact that complete confidence
had existed between them for some
time. Francis X. Pendieton, well
known lawyer and a member of the
mayors city improvement committee
was appointed to the office. He Is a
member of the general Democratic
city committee.
McDonough Craven, commissioner Of
street cleaning, offered his resignation
to the mayor and it was at once ao-
cepted. Dr. Walter A. Bensel, formerly
sanitary superintendent of the city
health department, was appointed as
Mr. Craven's successor. DR.. Bensel had
charge Of the street cleaning during
the recent strike of the garbage re-
movers, after the street cleaning de-
partment failed to master the situa-
ton.
The mayor demanded the resignation
of Civil Service Commissioner Alfred ].
Talley, on the ground that some one
was required in the position who would
give more time to it. Mr. Talliey al
once presented his resignation in let
ter in which he denied the imputation
made by the mayor. In an interview
he stated that he believed his removal
was due to the fact that he was 6
member of the regular Democratic or
ganization Frank L. Polk was ap.
pointed to the place thus vacated.
James ]. Martin a former Democrat,
leader was appointed city chamberlain
to succeed the late Patrick Keenan,.

CRABS CAUSE ILLNESS
Bad Ones of soft-shelIed Variety Sold
at the Shore.

Much sickness has been caused at the
shore recently because Of the sale of
poor soft-shelled crabs. Many dealers
have continued to sell the crab sand
witches at ten cents each. while in the
markets live crabs have demanded a
price such that they could not be sold
for ten cents without a loss.
The situation has become particularly
serious during the past week, large
number of cases Of illness having been
reported. Last Friday a lady ate a
sandwich at Savin Rock and until Sun
day was quite Ill.
1t is charged that the crabs are not
fresh when cooked This is not so in
some cases, but it will be we'll it it said
for people to be careful.

Son of Rev. E. S. Hume of
This City and Member
of the Class of 1897,
Yale.
CONVICTED AT
WYANDOTTE, KAS.
One to Five Years in Pen
itentiary for Passing
a Fraudulent
Check.

Kansas City, July 8.-Robert Woolsey
Hume, graduate Of Yale in the class
Of 1907, to-day pleaded guilty in Wyan-
dotte Kan, of passing worthless
check for $50 and was sentenced by
Judge McCabe Moore to an indetermin-
ate sentence of from one to five years
In the penitentiary.
Hume was allowed to plead guilty
under the name of Robert Woolsey in
order that the records would not show
that a member of an old New England
family was sent to prison. Hume was
born in Indiana twenty-five years ago.
His father, who is a missionary, is now
in New Haven, Conn.
Hume attributes his downfall to his
marriage to a girl in Meriden, Conn,
two years ago. He said he then began
to forge checks. Divorce proceedings
are now pending. The prosecuting at
torney said he would favor parollng
Hume if the prisoners friends had not
informed him that forgery is mania
with him.
Robert Hume, who is referred to as
graduate from Yale In the class Of
1907. in the dispatch, ,Ayas a former
member of that class, but left during
his sophomore year. He is son Of
Rev. Edward S. Hume Of this city, and
q nephew of Robert Hume, the noted
missionary to India.
Robert Woolsey Hume married

check on the Chamberlain Furniture
and Mantel Company of this city and
the following day Detective Colwell
with requisition papers from Gov. Rob-
erts brought him to this city.
September 30, In the city court. he
was placed in the hands of Probation
Ofilcer Preston to report regularly until
April 18, 1905, nisi, and returned to
New York where he was employed by
the White Automobile Co.
Three weeks later he was brought be-
fore the city court again, this time for
violating his probation in failing to re-
port to officer Preston and was bound
over to the superior court under $500
bonds by Judge Mathewson. He later
spent four months in jail.
Humes father, Rev. Edward Hume,
was in the city until last Saturday
He formerly roomed on High street
but of la-e has been living on Grove
street. He had left town, according tc
information given there last night
Young Humes trouble in this city
attracted considerable interest and
sympathy on account Of his connec-
tions. Everything possible was done
to mitigate the punishment owing tc
the youth Of the accused. He was Civ.
en- every opportunity to reform, but i
would seem as stated In the dispatch
above, the passing of fraudulent checks
is a mania with him.
His father at the time of the sons
trouble here devoted all his energ!
and efforts to straighten the young
man out again.

QUIETING VIEW
FROM JAPAN
Asahi Sees No Signifi-
canoe in Dispatch
of Fleet to
Pacific.
AOKI WON'T TALK
ON TREATY MATTER
Admiral Sakamoto is Be-
Iieved to Have
Been Mis-
quoted.

Toxic, July e.-Ashl ts-day publishes
an interview with an influential Jap
anese naval expert, who says
1T would be improper to infer a
demonstration in the transvaal OF the
American feet to the Pacific, This
movement is part os prearranged
plan and is a result of the constant
growth of the American navy and the
increasing Importance Of Pacific inter-
ests from the strategical point of view.
No significance need be attached un-
til at least thirty ships have been
transferred to the Pacific"
The Asahi also publishes an editorial
article setting forth the same views,
1t regrets the American fleet cannot
visit Japan in order to enable Japan
to reassert her sincerity and recipro-
cate the naval hospitality extended to
the visiting japanese warships at
jamestown. The paper also urged the
abrogation Of article II Of the existing
commercial treaty in order to put an
end to the cause Of the anti-Japanese
feeling at san Francisco.
Asahl is an independent newspaper,
popular among all classes, and has
probably the widest circulation in Jap
an. 1t is OF considered, however, to
carry great weight editorially.
