CROSBY FOOTBALL TEAM.
Notified of Meeting of Interscholastic
 League.

John Moriarty, Jr, manager of the Crosby High football team for next year, has received word that meet ing will be held in New Haven next Saturday for the purpose of forming another lnterscholastic league. The meeting is called for o'clock and will be held in the trophy room of the New Haven High school. It is expected that representatives will be present from Waterbury, Bridgeport, Meriden, Ansonia, New Haven and New Britain.
 Since the dissolution of the Yale lnterscholastic league in 1902, caused by Waterbury High winning the cup three times, the interest in interscholastic football has Jagged in this state. True, the Trinity league got along fairly we'll for time, but there were so many squabbles during the final games that 1t could not be compared to the old Yale league. The local boys are interested in the formation of the new orgaL .zation and Manager Moriarty expects to see the new league become reality.

BRAKEMAN DEAD
Fellow Employes Found His Liie-
 less Body Early To-Day.

William H. Davis, native of Wor- cester, and for some time past an employe of the Consolidated road,
 was found dead at 5:15 o'clock this morning beside the railroad track in South Brooklyn. Davis was brake- man on the road and took his meals at Mrs Dunne's boarding house on South Leonard street, and when he had to report early he was in the habit of sleeping in the caboose of the engine he was attached to. He left his boarding house at II o'clock last night to go to the caboose, and that was the last trace discovered of him until this morning, when an other employe of the company found him dead near the track, the body lying face downward. Medical Ex- aminer Crane was notified and or dered the remains to be removed to Mulville's morgue. There are several slight marks on the mans face, but the medical examiner says he be- lieves them to have been caused by cohloSI Wilu luo CluucIS WucIc Iuo body was found. The doctor said that he was not able to give out the cause of death and had so reported to the coroner, together with such other information as he had succeed ed in obtaining about the man. He was apparently about 30 or 35 years of age, stout. and those who worked with him say he enjoyed excellent health. He belonged to the Train mems association. and the members of the local lodge will see that the body is shipped to his former home.

MORE ABOUT DOGS
Canines Have Started 10 Tear Up
 Lawns and Flower Beds.

1 For the present at least the dogs have given up the business of fasten- ling their teeth into human flesh and spend their spare moments digging up flower beds and ripping lawns to pieces. The police keep an eye to their movements on public parks, but private individuals appear to be at their mercy. This is very noticeable at the Convent of NOtre Dame, where half dozen lnongrels persist in jumping in and cutting up all kinds of capers. But after all it is n ques- ton if private individuals are any worse off than the public in this re- spect. After few days nobody Will know there is such thing as m ordnance prohibiting owners of dogs from allowing them to be at large in the parks of the city. In fact the dogs are in the parks now as often as they feel so disposed and nobody takes any notice of them not withstanding that the ordinance re- gently passed says that when enter- ing and while in the public parks of the city must be held in leash by the owners, otherwise they may he kill ed by any park keeper, constable or policeman. This would be effective provided the officers and park keep CTS took any stock in it. but so long as they don't it will soon be but memory, and then the dog will re- sume his snapping and biting opera lions without anybody to chastlse him.

LABOR MEN BITTER.
Resent Roosevelt's Name of "Unde.
 sirable Citizens.'

NEW YORK, April 25.--A movemen
 national in scope, it is said, to SC
 aside Moyer-Haywood day early il
 May, on which day every union in tn country is to protest against the ac ton of President Roosevelt in denounc ing the western miners before they have been tried, has been started. The plan is to have labor leaders ii every city in the country agree on { day on which demonstrations shall bt arranged and not only the president taken to task for his utterances in his recent letter, but more especially in hi, communication to Honore Jaxon oi Chicago, in which he reiterates his crit icism.
 Prominent labor leaders in the city said that Mir. Roosevelt has no right to use his great office to openly denounce men who are on trial for their lives.
 HonOre Jaxon at Chicago, chairman of the Cook county Mover and Hay wood defense conference, said of the presidents letter:
 "The reply of President Roosevelt is just such an answer as a man in Roosevelt's position and of his caliber and associations would make. He thinks as do the men around him.
 "The jury (Which will try these men will be drawn from the ranks of a com munity whose members are known to be watching every item of news or comment bearing upon the case, and nothing could be more sinisterly cal culated to prevent just decision than prejudgment of the defendants"
 Jaxon Is a French Canadian. His stormy career began in Regina. capital of the Canadian northwest, in 1885. when his preceptor, Louis Riel. leader of the rebel forces. put down by Cana dian troops. was hanged. Jaxon was captured at the battle of Batoche. but escaped and came to Chicago and be- came secretary of a carpenters coun- ell.
 President Fitzpatrick of the Chicago Federation of Labor said:
 President Roosevelt calls men who are awaiting trial for their lives unde- sirable citizens. Hundreds of thou sands of men in the United States may get together and pronounce Roosevelt an undesirable citizen for his unmanly and cowardly stand against those men who are in jail They are incarcerated without due process of law and against constitutional rights of American citi- zenship as declared recently by the United States supreme court.-

CCMM9N ERRORS IN ADDRESSING LETTERS,
Postmaster Howarth on the subject-People Using Town" Instead of
 "City."

Discussing reasonable errors in ad- dresses on mail matter, Postmaster Howarth yesterday stated that a queer one was the writing of Town on let ters instead of the customary "City or New Haven, Conn" He stated that the fad was not peculiar to New Haven, for a letter mailed in Portland, Me, reached the local office yesterday which was intended for delivery at the office of mailing, but came to. New Ha- ven because the word Town" in the address looked like Conn.," and the preceding part of the address helped along the wrong idea. The letter was returned to Portland at once for de- livery.
 Instead of Connecticut such letters are often misread Iowa and missent there.
 Such mistreatment displeases the fastidious addressers very much, and special warnings are issued to stop it.
 The usual summer-resort errors in addresses are beginning to appear on mall matter.

 But the Pacific Northwest in the end will De the gainer by this lull. Cheap timber and cheap lumber are rapidly becoming things of the past, and every lull that has ever happened in the industry has been followed by a higher level of prices.

rHE LOGGING 1NpusrRY.
Point of View of inc Pacific North

west.
 From numerous points in the North west some reports of sawmills clos ing down, or working shorter time, and logging camps also eurtailing their output. These reports are always ac- companied with doleful opinions re- gardlng the outlook for the lumber trade Quite naturally the closing down of a saw-mill or logging camp, with, its attendant discharge of a large number of employees, works hardship on the community affected unless the mill is in a large city where there Is speedy absorption by other lines of industry of the labor thus released. Shipping is also feeling the effect of this weakness in the lumber market, and there has been material decline lin freight rates. But there may be some advantages in connection with this slaokening in one of our greatest industries
 A few years ago, when logging camps were made to dispose of all of the logs which their operators would have been glad to put on the market at less than one-half of the present prices, and the mills were unable to dispose of the lumber at $S per thous- and and less, the situation was re- garded as serious, but eventually prov ed a blessing as prices were doubled shortly afterward. In a degree these weak spots in the lumber log mar ket are not dissimilar in their results from the periods of depression which force a man to hold piece of real es- tate which in time appreciates in value and makes him rich There is to-day la prohigate waste of forest wealth wherever numbering operations are conducted in the West. The scarcity and high prices for stumpage in the "pineries' of wisconsin, Minnesota and Michigan have reduced this waste to minimum, but out here in the far West, where there is still an abund- ance of raw material, a vast amount of small timber is stil sacrificed in logging operations and there is also a serious waste in the manufacture of l lumber.
