RACES AND AWARDS AT ORANGE FAIR Amber Wilkes Runs Away, Throws Driver and is Captured by Francis
 Gamble. FLORAL PARADE
 AND EXHIBITS Fine Show of Cattle, Horses and Produce-Names
 of the Prize
 Winners.

The Orange fair was successfully op- ened yesterday before very large con- course of interested spectators. Under the direction of President w. S. Wood ruff and his able corps of assistants, everything went as smoothly as the, proverbial wedding bell. There wasn't dull moment from early morning lin- til the gates closed for the day, long after dusk had descended on the grounds. The judging of the various exhibits began early in the day. Of those completed we give the successful winners. The general opinion of tic judges was that everything sent in for competition was of very high order and in many cases it was difficult for them to make a decision. The floral parade was a magnificent spectacle. It reflected very great credit on tho taste and artistic ability of the various competitors.
 The horse racing, trotting and run. ming was of very high order and sev- .eral close and exciting. contests were witnessed during the afternoon. Quite a sensation was made by the breaking of Amber Wilkes bridle in the first heat of the 2:27 class. The driver was thrown and then the animal dashed around the course at a break neck pace. All attempts made to stay the course of the animal only made the horse fly all the faster and fears were en- tertained that 1t would meet with an accident before it could be brought up. A rider in kahki uniform appeared on the bare back of a young colt riding in true wild western style in an attempt to capture the runaway. But still Ann Der Wilkes sped on and it was not until he had been pursued once round the track that young Francs Gamble (for that was the name of the daring rider) got alongside Amber Wilkes and seized hold of the saddle Hanging tenaciously to 1t young Gamble was pulled once round the track before he was able to bring the animal to standstill. His manly act was loudly applauded and every one wanted to know who the hero of the day was. MT. Gamble IS a member of the Congress Avenue Riding club and the other members present were highly delighted with his act. The fair.will be continu- ed to-day. The program which was to be given on Monday will be carried out in it's entirety and several new and special attractions will also be added.
 The members of the 1907 legislature were the invited guests of Representa- five W x Woodruff tha nrasfIAnt of the association. Amongst those who accepted the invitation and were pros- ent: Captain F. Griswold of Guilford, Charles e. Allerton, Guilford; B. D. Broadbent, Hamden; s. Hart Culver, Seymour and John Brown, Orange.

ADOPTED AT HAGUE American Proposal for Col lection of Contractual
 Debt. GEN. PORTER'S VICTORY The Proposition Includes Obligatory Arbi-
 tration.
GEN. PORTER'S VICTORY

The Hague, Sept S.-General Hor- ace Porter, of the American delega- tion to. the peace conference. led his proposal for the collection of contrac- tual debts to practically unanimous approval to-day by the committee of examination, and at the conclusion of the meeting he was the recipient of many congratulations upon the sub- ject of his efforts The importance of this American proposition, it is pointed out, lies more in the princi- ples which it establishes rather than in its practical application, which may occur very seldom. General Porter met all the objections raised with ready argument, and finally brought all the countries represented, debtor as well as creditor nations, into line with the single exception of Switzerland, which is neither debtor nor creditor country. There is req son to believe, however, that even the Swiss government will sign the con- vention, with reserve regarding the matter of jurisdiction.
 Dr, Drago, while he cast Argenti- mas vote in favor of General Porters proposal, because it establishes obli- gatory arbitration in matters relating to contractual debts, declared ArgenA tna maintained her original reserves on the subject.
 Only thirteen countries, including Brazil, Mexico and Argentina, were represented on the committee of ex- animation, and General Porter's mod flied proposition must be submitted for approval to a plenary sitting of the committee of arbitration.
 The Austro-Hungarian proposition in the matter of obligatory arbitra. tion was practically wrecked by to- days vote, as the majority in favor thereof was smaller than that which supported the British proposition or the same subject

Deputy Sheriff John w. Hut accom- panied by Deputy Maola,, escorted two prisoners from the Whalley avenue Jail to the insane hospital at Middle town yesterday afternoon.

 One of the prisoners was a colored man by the name Of Duggan. He was sent in from the Meriden police court He is man of rather medium build but he caused considerable trouble not so much from the great resistance as from the disturbance which he in sisted on creating. He appeared to be insane on the Bible and imagined he was about every great character men toned in that book. He declared him. self the Trinity and also Nebuchad- nezzar and was many more of the great characters at the same time. He also insisted on preaching sermons at the top of his voice and yelled and exhorted in great fashion.

FIRST PAPER MEN ALIENS
 so DECISION HOLDS
City Clerk Street Has Rul- ing in Regard to Hunt
 ers' Licenses.

Edward A. Street, city clerk, last evening received from Hartford the de- cision of Attorney General Marcus H. Holcomb, determining what the term "alien" in the new law requiring It. censes to be issued to hunters by city and town clerks covers. The attorney general rules that the term applies to all persons who have not yet received their second papers so that persons who have only their first papers will still be required to pay S15 for their licenses instead of the fee of $1.10 which is asked from citizens. On account of a ruling made by court in a case where the word alien was used it was thought that persons who had received their first papers might now be includ- ed in the category of aliens and in or- der to settle the charge to be made in such cases MT. Street wrote to the com missioners to determine the meaning of the debated term.
 The commissioners referred the matter to the attorney general for d ruling and this was handd down yesterday after- noon. City Clerk Street will now re- quire all who have simply their first papers to lay out the $15 for the right to hunt in Connecticut.

FEW OPPOSED TO \ ORANGE CHARTER Charles U. Neumann Alone Speaks Against Pro
 posed Change to
 City. MANY STRONG FOR
 ITS ACCEPTANCE Senator Thompson Asks Some Pointed Questions
 After the Meet
 ing.

At the meeting of the citizens of the town of Orange called by Select. man Walter Main on the petition of Charles U. Neumann and others who are opposed to making Orange into city, the person whose name headed the list of petitioners was practically the only one to speak in opposition
 Henry A. l.. Hall was chosen moder- ator of the meeting and as soon as 1t was opened MT. Neumann arose and offered a resolution that the proposed charter was detrimental to the inter- ests of the borough. His action was overruled by MT. Hall who said that the meeting was called for discussion and not for the passage of such reso- lutions.
 After Prosecutor Robert J. Wood ruff of the common pleas court had moved that limited time be given each speaker Mr. Neumann arose and launched forth into glowing account of the horrors of the proposed city charter He said that the charter did not provide for popular form of government and step by step went over letter from the committee of twenty-five upholding it. The letter was published recently in the New Haven papers
 MT. Neuman then said that he was not opposed to a change in govern ment but he did not want one which was backed and promoted by office holders and office seeking politicians. He then admitted that the opposition consisted of office holders past and present and some who might want some time to be office holders. He next said that he might give reasons without end and asked the chairman if the expression ad finitum was the proper one to use in such a case MT. Hall replied that he thought finish was the proper word to use after a speaker like the present one, and amid rounds of applause MT. Neumann sat down.
 Senator Clarence Thompson arose and said that West Haven had grown

MARTIN AND AVIS HAVE THE FIELD Time for New Democratic Aspirants to File Appli-
 cation Nears
 End.
TOMORROW NIGHT
 TELLS THE STORY
Louis Ullman's Name Now Linked With That of Chatfeld's on Repub-
 lican Side.

The time for the filing of the ap- plications which are required from all persons who are to be candidates for nominations for any of the offices which will be voted for at the coming city election at the democratic prim- aries on the seventeenth expires to- morrow evening, and there rmatn now but a few hours more for new candi- dates to appear in the field. In the race for the mayorship its foregone conclusion now that there will be but two candidates presented to the voters of the party at the primaries. Attor- ney James B. Martin and Samuel R. Avis.
 There has been considerable talk of the possibility of a third candidate, but this was largely contingent upon the withdrawal of the others in favor of third man, and as the time draws near it is stated by leaders in the party that MT, Martin will certainly not withdraw and MT. Avis is not likely to do so either The possibility of a third candidate, therefore, has DeCOIl5 very ESIlOle, duu lH6 FdC6 VIII probably be to the stronger of these two men.
 From all that can be gathered at present from those who are in a good position to judge the chances seem to favor MT. Martin for the nomination. His knowledge of political warfare, of the ward workers and his personal at tractiveness make him a hard man to defeat. MT. Avis is also a clean cut man and has large personal follow ing. There does not appear to be any genuine alignments made yet. Declarations from either man may come to the surface at any moment now. Some attempts have been made to bring the warning factions to an understanding but without success.
 There Is more speculation about the candidates for the other offices on the city ticket. Three men have been mentioned for the position of city clerk. They are Martin Gray, Charles w. Futile and Alderman Devine

 HIRED MAN TERROR Causes Fear and Trembling
 in North Haven
 Home. MEN OF FAMILY OUT So Nickelson Terrorizes the Women and is Now
 Under Arrest.

An incident that happened yesterday in the town of North Haven caused considerable worry to the female members of the Abel family and re- suited in the arrest in this city, last evening, of Charles Nickelson, aged 24 years, on a charge of drunkenness by. which it is purposed to hold him until a warrant for his arrest in North Ha- ven can be procured by the Abels. E. Stiles Abel and his father live togeth- CT in North Haven and had employed Nickelson for the past month as a teamster, Yesterday they planned to go to the Orange Fair and they told Nicholson to go into the woods. and haul wood for the day. He left be- fore the Abels and on his way was to stop at a blacksmith sshop to have hls horse shod. Near this place it appears there is f1rewater vendors habita- tion and in this the erring Nickelson is thought to have wandered. At any rate instead of going on to haul wood after the ehoelng. job had been accons plished, Nicholson returned home stop ping at the house of the parents of the younger Stiles wife to learn whether both had gone to the fair or not. Learning that both were away he re- turned to the house and began to run things He asked for his pay and the elder Mrs, Stiles gave him eight dol lars Then he told her that she must do as he pleased and not interfere with him or he would kill her. accord ing to the statement of MT. Stiles, last night. He began to cause trouble, took the boy of the younger Stiles and threatened to carry him away, start ed up photograph in the house and aroused great fear on the part of the women.
 Finally he went away. The Stiles father and son, came to this city last night, having learned that Nickelson had come here and asked to have him arrasted. He was located in George street and was held on a charge of drunkenness last night. The men ex- pect to get warrant for him in North Haven.
