THAT MERGER OPPOSITION
MORE LIGHT IS LET IN
People Do Not Want "Prom- ises" Kept as They Were
 After B. S A. Deal.

Additional light is let in on the
 Massachusetts opposition to the Merger of the Boston and Maine railroad with
 the New York. New Haven & Hartford by the following letter to the New
 York Sun by Henry S. Chlpman of Bos- ton. What MT. Chipman says is, on the whole. this:
 What Boston and Massachusetts want is some assurance that they are not to be sandbagged by New York f. nancial and commercial interests, as they were few years ago when the New York Central 'merged' with tho Boston and Albany. There were many and loud promises then of the increas- ed business the city and port of Boston were to enjoy, Instead it now takes from six weeks to six months to get freight from Chicago to Boston, and steam ship lines out of this port had to cut their, service in, half or even. to suspend 1t entirely, because the New York Central will not, or cannot deliver freight on the wharves-a- difficulty which we understand does not exist in New York
 Before. the, merger the Boston, and Albany was a well built, well managed, prosperous road. Its conditions since New York captains, of finance and in dusary got hold of it is pitiable. It is run as if. 1t were branch line In the -piney woods district. with a deserted lumber camp at the end of 1t. A burned child dreads the fire; and Boston wants to be shown how the proposed merger of the other roads serving the city is going to work. Unfortunately the word of railroad presidents cannot be taken without safeguards; our experience with the New York Central has taught us that. If we had any reason to be- lieve that the merger would mean in creased business to New York, we'd all shout for it. If we are suspicious, MT. Mellen has only his fellow railroad presidents, who have buncoed us in the past, to thank
 As for having a trunk line to the Lakes why hasn't it got one now? The New York Central lines, which ln- clude the Boston and Albany, are gen orally so considered How 1t is going to help us to give the merged roads 1 tracking rights over the Boston and Albany, and thus perhaps double the traffic on road that is now notoriously incompetent to handle what business is offered It, is something which 1t needs more than a jocular editorial in the Sun to prove"

Patriotic Exercises.

Professor Benjamin Jepson has re- ceived reports from many teachers re- garding the recent visits of comrades of Admiral Foote post. G. A. R., to the schools on Memorial day. On these occasions the comrades gave short ad- dresses concerning the significance of Memorial day, and also "reminiscences of the civil war.
 From the reports received by Profess sor Jepson the teachers are much pleas ed with the plan to give these short patriotic exercises in the public schools. and 1t is understood that it is planned to repeat the exercises the coming year.

DERBY AVENUE SITE UP ID ALDERMEN TONIGHT Prospect Continues Pleasant for Passage of That
 Proposition. END WARDERS ACTIVE Ask a Series of Questions Which They Want Board
 to Answer.
END WARDERs ACTIVE

Tonight will be the night and the chamber of the board of aldermen will be the stage whereon will be en- acted the deliberations that will de. eide the fate of the Derby avenue site Tor the contagious disease hospital. As stated last Saturday the situation in the board Is such that there can be little doubt as to the adoption of the site by large majority of the board. The Second warders, however, are thoroughly aroused by the endeavor to force the hospital upon them and are determined to oppose it to the very end.
 The following communication asking the board a series of questions and re- questing reasons of the board for it's &C., ~lon if the site is adopted. The com munication is signed by eight of the leading opponents of the hospital in the ward
 New Haven, Conn, June 15, 1907. To Editor of the Journal and Courier:
 Dear sir: Assuming that the infor- nation contained in this mornings pa- per Journal and Courier) is correct, we wish to address some open uues- tions to the board of aldermen through you, asking the individual members to publicly answer them on Monday even@ ing at the meeting of the board.
 Do you consider mosquito breeding pond, under the caves of the proposed hospital, a menace tS public health?
 Do you consider the noise from the cars, from the cheering at Yale field, from the shooting attending the meets of the gun club on the meadows adtoln- ing this site, detrimental to the com fort of patients?
 Don't you think that immediate proximity to a car line would invite the transmission of infectious germs from the clothes of visitors to passen- gers on the cars?
 Do you think that the wishes and rights of property owners, whose prop erty holdings amount in the aggregate to $2,OOO,OO0 on the grand list, should receive some consideration in your de- Alterations?
 Do you think there is no danger from contagion in the presence of this hospital? If no danger, and unques- ably the hospital is needed why not place 1t, if not at springside, then in practically the center or near the cen- ter of contagion, viz, on the grounds of the New Haven hospital, where the available area is equivalent to that on Derby avenue; the property across the way on Cedar street, which is owned by Yale college, at present Is partly, and will, in time, be all used for medi- cal purposes,
 Don't you think danger of litigation will impede it's erection?
 If you think Derby avenue the prop CT place, will you state why you think so, what reasons form the basis of your conclusions? As citizens, residents and supporting taxpayers, we think ourselves entitled to an answer.

CALIFORNIA SCHOOL CONTROVERSY
Representatives Hayes Of California,
on yesterday made a statement con-
cerning conference held at the
White House on Wednesday between
the president and members of his
cabinet with the California delega-
ton: THE California delegation is
pleased with the situation with refer

said:
Il have no fear of any diplomatic

ton"

that no reports have been received
from any source indicating that the
japanese in Hawaii have organized
secret military Organiza tion and are

Regarding the appeal of the war
department to congress for an appro-
priation TO complete the defenses of
Hawaii. ii Is denied that this appeal
has any connection whatever with the
relations between Japan and the Uni
ted States. but was simply dictated
by a desire Ito put the house in or
der" in accordance with the plans
formed at least year ago by the mill
itary and naval officers charged with
the duty of defending the country.

THE WHITEslDEs BURNING.

Although the pursuit Of the parties
who burned the barn Of Mr.. ]. Luther
Whitesides on last Saturday morning
has continued all the week, no more
arrests have been made.
At the request Of parties interested
suspects and certain other details
were omitted from the statement pub
lished Tuesday: but as there seems to
be no longer any need for such sup
preston, the story can be printed In a
little more detail.
The tracks to and from the barn in
dicated that two persons were impli-
Gated, and suspicion was not long In
attaching to Jim Bryant and Will
Crawford, Bryant because Of the sto-
res told by the witnesses who were
subsequently committed to Jail and
Crawford because Mr.. Whitesides had
found occasion to give him a beating
about a year or eighteen months be-
fore and because he had since been
seen in the neighborhood again only on
the day previous to the fire.
Crawford's mother, Mary Ellen
Smarr, says she saw her son at her
house on last Friday. and that he and
Bryant had conferences together dur
ing the day.
Bryant has been well known for sew
eral years as a slick negro. He has
been in the Illicit liquor business and
has been suspected of a great many
thefts: but nobody has ever been able
to get evidence against him that would
hold.
There has been some good. earnest
work done in an effort to catch the
suspected incendiaries. but up to this
time II has been without much practi-
cal result.

CONFEDERATE ROLLS.

The Winnie Davis Chapter OF the
United Daughters Of the Confederacy is
considering the idea Of preparing a
complete roll of the soldiers who serv-
ed in the civil war from this county.
AS yet the ladies have no well de-
fined plan of procedure; but 1t Is to be
hoped that they will not allow them
selves to abandon the idea. There Is
no other work they can do as we see
II that will prove more important.
1t is not generally known perhaps
but 1t is a fact nevertheless, that there
is already a more complete enrolment
of York county soldiers than there Is
If any other county in the state.
A few years ago the general assem-
bly, passed an act providing for the en-
rollment OF soldiers by counties and
townships In many Of the counties nc
attention was paid to the act; but the
late Major James F.. Hart and several
others of this county took especial
interest In the matter and followed II
lp uutii d llSt was ioi CNCi ,
township.
These lists are now to be found In
the office Of the clerk of the court
They are not absolutely accurate, OF
course; but they are very valuable and
with patient, intelligent additions car
be made much more valuable.
If the ladies will permit us to make
suggestion in connection with the
proposed undertaking. that suggestion
would be to the effect that the best
thing to do is to complete the list In
the clerks office, put 1t in the form
of a pamphlet and pay expenses by
selling that pamphlet to descendants
and relatives of the soldiers and to
all others who may choose to buy.

For a number Of years after its dis
covery this little cannon was used by
the boys Of the neighborhood to shoot
big guns on Christmas and the Fourth
of July. Finally as the result Of an
overcharge 1t was bursted. Frag-
ments Of 1t are still to be seen."
Mr.. Johnson came upon the piece OF
cannon referred to in the storeroom
recently vacated by him and formerly
occupied by the late DR.. ]. C. Kuy-
kendall. The story as we have It, that
on reading DR.. Lathan's sketches some
thirty years ago. DR.. Kuykendal was
possessed of q desire to get piece OF
the old cannon as a souvenir and was
finally successful in obtaining the
piece now under consideration. The
fragment Is about IS inches in length
and includes the breech end Of the
cannon. 1t weighs about sixty pounds
The bore Is about an inch and a half
i'm diameter.
