VISIT CALIFORNIA
IRRIGATION CONGRESS TO SEND
INVITATION
Sum Of $4,000 to Be Raised for Enter-
tainment Of Members During ses-
sions in September at
Sacramento
BY Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
SACRAMENTO, April 25.--At a
meeting here today attended by about
hundred prominent men from twen-
ty counties of the state, held under
the direction of the local board or
control of the fifteenth national irri-
CATION congress, steps were taken TO
raise $5000O for the proper entertain
ment of the congress during It's ses-
sions in this city next September.
The work of raising this fund was
given into the hands of the board of
control with authority to appoint sub
sidiary committees in every county of
the state. The board may raise the
funds through boards of supervisors,
by popular subscription or otherwise
as it may see fit.
The main tenor of the discussion at
today's meeting was that while the
congress is to be held in Sacramento
it is deemed a matter Of state inn
port and one in which all counties
desire to share responsibility Con-
siderable attention was given to
proposal on the part of the Fresno
delegation that a portion of the funds
raised be used in the transportation
of delegates to the congress through
various parts of the state.
Proposition Defeated
This proposition, however, met with
little favor, as it was deemed too
elaborate an undertaking, and it was
decided that If certain counties de-
sire such excursions they shall pro-
vide the necessary expenses.
w. A. Beard, executive officer of
the board of control, announced that
steps are under way to secure reduced
rates on all railroads for the dele
gates.
Among the speakers at this meeting
were Governor Gillett, Congressman
James c. Needham of Modesto and
George w. Peltier of this city, chair
man of the board of control.
A resolution was adopted inviting
President Roosevelt to attend the con-
gress. 1t was announced that invi-
tations have already been extended
through the state board of trade to
Vice President Fairbanks and Secre-
tary of Agriculture Wilson. 1t is
thought that both the president and
Secretary Wilson will be prevailed up
on to attend.

NEW YORK LEFT
WITHOUT LIGHTS
STRIKE WORKS HARDSHIP ON
POLICEMEN
LampIlghters Quit and Blueeoats Are
Compelled to Take Their
PIaces-Many Matches
Required
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
NEW YORK, April 25.-Although the
public suffered Inconvenience last night
on account of the queerest strike this
city has seen for many.a day, that of
the lamplighters, the brunt of the trou-
Die was borne by the police
Good sized sections of the five bor-
oughs, especially the Bronx, the upper
part of Manhattan and the outlying
parts of Queens, were in darkness until
late, save for the light cast by three
quarters moon.
Early in the night, when the more
remote populace suddenly became
aware that the customary illumination
was not forthcoming, complaints began
to pour in upon police headquarters
and Commissioner Bingham ordered
that the police render all the assistance
possible.
Police Climb Posts
Much discontinue resulted. Some of
the patrolmen climbed the lamp posts
and used matches, a process which re-
quired numerous matches as the night
was rather breezy.
Others who had more forethought
took along poles and tapers. But un-
familiarity with the work resulted in
the ruination of numerous mantles. To
cap the climax strikers put out some
of the lights where some of the police
beats are four and five miles long and
word came by telephone to police head
quarters that unless help was vouch-
safed it would be daylight before all
the lamps had been attended to. This
necessitated calling out police reserves
to help light up.
The strikers union numbers about 400
men. These men are employees of the
Welsbach Lighting company, which
has contract to light streets where
there are no electric lights. They are
mainly Italians. They are striking for
recognition of the union.

REDMOND WORKS
FOR HOME RULE
INTRODUCTION OF IRISH BILL
MAY 7
Wide Differences Between National
lists and Government officials Hard
to overeome-erest Dem-
onstratlon Planned
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
LONDON, April 25.-Discussions are
still going on between the government
and John Redmond, chairman of the
Irish parliamentary party in the house
of commons, respecting the Irish bill
which will be introduced in the house
May z.
That there are wide differences be-
tween the government officials and the
Irish Nationa1ists relative to the terms
of the measure Is not denied, but 1t
has been agreed that the bill shall be
introduced on the date determined on
by Secretary Foreland Blrrell, and
what the Nationalists are unable to
get from 4. the government they will
endeavor to obtain by amendments
which will be proposed during the
debate.
Some of the cabinet members who
favor home rule were willing to con-
cede many of the demands of the Irish
party, but the majority favored a
measure far short of what Mr. Red
mond and his followers asked. There
have been many conferences on the
subject and for a time 1t was feared
that the introduction of the bill would
have to be postponed, but the negotia-
tions have now reached a stage at
which 1t is possible to present the
measure to the house.
Establishes Irish Council
While the negotiations were going
on those participating in them were
reticent as to the provisions of the
bill, but it can be stated broadly that
it establishes an Irish council. partly
elective and partly nominative, which
shall administer the domestic affairs
Of Ireland, exclusive of the army and
navy, but will have little or no legis-
lative powers.
This is far from what the National
lists desire. In the discussions Mr..
Redmond strove for a greater measure
of home rule, and will carry the fight
into the house of commons. He will
not, however, decline to accept what
is offered as sop to the Nationalists.
who have abstained from participation
in all the entertainments to the colon
ial premiers-even that given by the
members of the houses of commons
and are arranging a dinner for the
premiers on May 6, the eve of the
introduction of the Irish bill.
This will be the occasion for a great
home rule demonstration, all the pre-
miers being pronounced advocates Of
Irish self-government.

Some Inexperienced Senators

Senator Charles w. Barnum of the Thirty first district began his legislative career in January without experience in the capitol. But he had strong points as business man and manager of indus trial interests. He was placed at the head of the committee on interpretations and has attended to the work of that committee with eminent success. His judgment has been trusted Tn every re- port that he has made and not one of them has failed of passage. The incor- porations committee is one of the most important in the legislature, as it deals with great manufacturing and industrial progress. Senator Barnum has rarely been absent from his seat at the commit tee hearings. Possessing many of the qualities of his father, the late United States senator William H. Barnum, he has made lasting impression ill the senate and will leave record in the capitol that will long be treasured New Haven Register.

:" Twelfth Night"

Before large audience. which includ- ed number of visitors, the students of Taconic SohoolIgave Shakespeare's s come dy, Twelfth Night" on Friday last. The weather was unusually cool for an outdoor performance of such length, but the play was we'll received; indeed, the good reputation of this school for high artistic ideals was fully sustained. Great care had evidently been bestowed upon the preparation of the players; no detail of costume or setting was neglected; and the natural theatre formed by the grove presented series of as pretty pictures as one could wish to see. In a performance at once so difficult and uniformly good it would be hard to single out those who excelled in their parts. All did well. Yet there were several who took impor- tant parts and excelled in them. Miss Ethel Hewlett, who impersonated Sir Toby Belch, Miss Scutt, who was the Sir Andrew, Miss Moore, who was Maria, and Miss Patterson, who took the part of FesUe, the jester, were quartette of fun makers who covered themselves with glory. Their team work, so to speak, was remarkable performance in itself. The Viola of Miss Mckee, the duke of Miss Howard and the Olivia of Miss Laura Mott were we'll done, adequate and satisfying. The Malvolio, imper- sonated by Miss Motheral, was also a clever interpretation of Shakespeare sycophant. The minor parts had been well studied and, on the whole, uni form excellence characterized the whole performance.

When Canaan man gets a good, hard attack of ''launohitis" he gets his tools together. buys some lum- Der and gasoline engine, goes into commodious barn or loft belonging to himself or someone else and pretty soon a local teamster hauls finished boat to the Housatonio river or Twin Lakes and dumps 'er in. If the fellow who wants the boat happens to be one who couldn't build one tight enough to prevent the cells or take trout from swimming in be- tween tho bottom boards and soaring the lady occupants. of the craft into spasms. he has no trouble in making an arrange ment with e Canaan boat specialist to build 1t for him therefore his craft is 6 home institution. Just two of the launches on the Housatonio are factory made. And when it comes to row boats, nobody ever thinks of buying one ''cus- tom made" They're all made to order or to measure, as you chose. And they do say that there is one Canaan minister, with cottage at the lakes,. who is as much at home in the boat building busi- ness as in his study writing sermons for the edification of his flock.
