 Financial Situation.

Terryvllle, Nov. IT, Congressman George L. Lilley of Waterbury was the principal speaker at the first an nual banquet of the Terryvil@ Busi- ness Mems association held at the Austin house tonight. The congress- man spoke on the financial and bus mess situation throughout the coun- try. Other speakers were: E. L.. Graves of Bridgeport Burdett A.. Peck of Bristol, A. J. Muzzy of Bris- tol. Jerome E. Collins, president of the association, was toastmaster.
 MT. Lilley said, referring to the f. nancial situation; Happily I can bring you a message of good cheer, for my private advices from points far and near confirm the hopeful tone of to-day's press dispatches. The worst appears to be over.
 "Fo. sunately for us all there was a great executive in the White house who foresaw the perils ahead.

AMERICA AND JAPAN.
Plan to Cement Friendly Com mercial Relations Between
 Countries.

New York, Nov. 7.-The hope that cooperation would be established be- tween the chamber of commerce in Japan and the New York chamber of commerce was expressed in a letter read before the latter body at it's meet ing to-day and signed by the presi- dents of the chambers of commerce in Kyoto, Osaka, Tokio, Kokohama and Kobe.
 The letter was reply to one sent by J. Edward Simmons, president of the New York chamber, in answer to one in which the Japanese merchants ex~. pressed the fear that the reported outbreaks against the Japanese in Cal ifornia might have an unhappy effect on the development of commercial re- latfons between the two countries.
 Mir Simmons wrote that the New York chamber of commerce considered the trade relations between the two countries the most potent influence for good understanding and the best guarantee of the preservation of peace and friendly relations.

NOEL NOT GUILTY ON EITHER COUNT Judge Tyner Discharges Student Arrested at New Haven Theater Last
 Week. YALE CHEERS ARE
 GIVEN FOR COURT Big Demonstration at the Con- clusion of Long Trial
 of Law School /
 Man.

After one of the longest trials in weeks before the city court Judge Ty- ner yesterday afternoon discharged John H. Noel, Yale Law school stu dent as not guilty of the two counts preferred against him of breach of the peace at the New Haven theater last Thursday evening and of resistance to officer John Bright, who put him ur- der arrest. Judge Tyner held after hearing all the testimony that there had been no breach of the peace and that the officer did not have the stu dent under arrest at the time the al- leged resistance occurred. When the decision was announced there was one of the most joyous scenes that has been enacted in the city court in some time. The court room was filled with class mates of the accused, all interested in his scquittal and when the judge freed him of the charges they burst forth in a hearty Yale cheer for Judge Tyner for Assistant City Attorney Hoyt, who tried the case and for the liberated man. The defense was conducted by Attorney Seymour c. Loomis.
 The judge said 1t did not seem prob able that the injuries which the aecus- cd had sustained were caused by fall- ing on the policeman's club, as the wit nesses had testified for the state

HOLD ON TO GOLD
England and Other European Coun-
 tries Raise Rates.

New York, Nov. 7-The contest of the European money markets to retain their gold resources was indicated by the simultaneous action to-day of three of the large central banks of Europe and a call for meeting to- morrow of the governing board of a fourth. The Bank of England ad- vanced it's rate of discount from to per cent, a rate. which has not before been reached since 1873. The Bank of France advanced it's regular dis count rate from 1-2 per. cent. to 4 per cent. and fixed the rate for loans on securities at 1-2 per cent. The National Bank of Belgium advanced its rate of discount from 1-2 per cent to per cent, and Dr. Koch, the governor of the Imperial Bank of Ger many, called a meeting of the govern ing board for tomorrow, which is ex- pected to advance the discount rate of the bank from to per cent.
 These movements in Europe are re- garded as an indication of the ability of New York to command gold and the efforts of the European banks to protect themselves against this de- mand.

NOTHING SAID FOR
 TEACHERS INCREASE
Professor Reed, of the Civil Service Board, is op- posed to Increase
 of Clerk.

No great public interest was mani tested last evening in the opportunity given to the public by the board of finance to discuss the estimates which have been presented to that body for the running of the city departments next year The main feature of the hearing was the argument which arose over the increase of the pay of Asse- tant Town Clerk Cox and the addition of another clerk In that office. lAt- torney Harry w. Asher brought the subject up by stating that lie had had some experience with the town clerks s office and that there had never come under his observation the state of af- fairs which was charged against the office, namely, that time was spent during the city office hours by the clerks in the performance of private work Mir Asher favored the increase of the salary of MT. Cox, which has been aeked
 Charles S. scoville, the real estate dealer, took up the other side of the question. He stated that he had made charges through the press against the practices at the town clerks office and that he was prepared to furnish proofs thereof in a court of law He said he would favor a temporary clerk in the office. but not another regular clerk at $500 a year He claimed that outside work was done during hours that be- longed to the city and that there would be no need of a new clerk if the clerks there now would spend all their time on the city work.
 Elliott H. Morse of the Connecticut Savings bank defended MT. Cox, stat | ing that he had done considerable work for them, but that it had not been done In city hours. He said that if Mir Cox did any private work in city hours at all the city got back full measure in some other way
 The matter was becoming more of a trial of Mir. Cox when the committee called the halt to 1t and took up the

WILL NOT IN SAFE Hettich's Gibraltar Drilled Open by Experts in Pres
 ence of Heirs. $500 IN CASH FOUND Jeweler Apparently Made No Disposition of $15,O00 to
 $20,OO0 Estate.

After over a days work drilling through the tough steel doors of the big safe of the late Frank Hettich, the Grand avenue jeweler, in the hopes of fnding therein the deceased's will, the drillcrs succeeded in gettingS through about four inches of the steel yester- day morning which enabled them to get the lock broken and to open the door. No will was found. A search had been made everywhere else for will, but as none had been found 1t was supposed to be in the safe Then it was found that the combination of the safe had been lest, so the big strong box had to be taken down to August Ockert's store to be drilled through by experts in order to open it. It was taken there Tuesday and all day Wednesday an expert driller pa tiently drilled away breaking off two fine steel tips from his drills in the work. Wednesday evening only three riches had been drilled through and the safe was still impregnable. The task was resumed again yesterday morning and the desired result ob- tained.
 The safe had been placed in the hands of Sheriff Hugo, who was ap- pointed over the estate by the pro- bate court when no will was found in the first place. At the opening of the safe yesterday morning Attorney Cas- sldy of Ansonia, representing some of the heirs, Mrs. Morse of Waterbury who is a niece of the deceased and so an heir, and MT. and Mrs. James of Ansonia, the latter cousin of Hettich, were present.
 The safe contained $500 in cash and an amount of jewelry and watches, the value of which is not ascertained yet. When 1t was found that there was no will Mrs. Morse made appli- cation to the probate court yesterday that an administrator be appointed and the court has sent Nov. 27 as the day for the hearing on the application. The estate is valued at between $15, 900 and $2o,0OO.
