CUNlRD OWNERS SATISFIED
TURBINES SPROVEVALUE
No Recommendations For Improvement in Maure-
 tania.

New York, Sept. 13.-A few days ago was celebrated locally the tooth anni- versary of that proud occasion when Robert Fulton's 1S0 foot steamer Cler- mont went puffing up the Hudson river at a five mile an hour clip. To-day New Workers turned out to welcome a steaming craft whose passengers breakfasted in Queenstown Sunday and lunched in New York to-day. Both ex- periments, equally successful, were epoch-making in the matter of pro- pulsive power--the CIermont with her side paddles and the new Cunarder with her quadruple turbines.
 The voyage of the Lusitania was chiefly important in that 1t was the great speed test of the most modern propulsive power This is the view ta- ken by her owners, who are satisfied that the praeticability of the turbine for fast scheduled vessels has been demonstrated. The fact that the Lusi- tania was able to cross the Atlantic iri five days and 54 minutes and on her maiden trip nearly equal the best transatlantic record is held to be of secondary importance. Officials of the line said to-day that the Lusitania had done all that was expected of her with out having been pushed for speed record, and they were confident that she would be able when called upon to add to her achievements the fast. est voyage across the Atlantic,
 Ernest Cunard, director of the line, who was @ passenger on the Lusitania, said:
 "I came over to watch the working oi the ship in order to see if we could improve the Mauretania, now nearing completion, I find that I shall have nc suggestions to make"

'BRIEN OPPOSES SPECIAL CHARTER Former Prohibition Guber- material Candidate Fa- vors Constitutional
 Amendment. SAYS THAT LOBBY
 WOULD DISAPPEAR Only Method Of Completely Wiping it Out In His Opinion Is Prohi-
 bition.

The following letter on the shorten ing sessions of the legislature and abolshing of all lobby is contributed from Matthew O'Brien, candidate of the prohibition party for governor at the last election, in connection with the discussion of improvement in leg islative methods
 Bridgeport, Conn, Sept, 12, 1907. N. c osborn, Editor New Haven
 Journal and Courier;
 Dear Sir: In compliance with your request l herewith give my views on the way to shorten the terms of the general assembly and at the same time rid the state of the pernicious influ- ence of the lobby" In speaking of the lobby" I refer to those men who haunt the halls of the capitol in the interest of private schemes and not citizens of the state who try to influ- ence legislation for the betterment of the state.
 It is the constitutional privilege of every citizen to petition the legisla- ture to enact laws that he believes is Tor the best interest of the state, and it would be better if more public spir- tied citizens did so and made their in flucnce for good felt in the halls of legislation Tine trouble is that the people have no lobby to look after their interest except, in excise legisla- ticn, wnile the corporations who wish to work the legislature are we'll repre- scented. Most of the time of every ses- sion of the legislature is taken up not with the business of passing upon and enacting general laws, but, in granting special charters to corpora 1 tions. The time and energies of thC lobbyist" is not spent in promoting ol defeating general laws save in rar, I instances, but in promoting speeia charters. If 1t were not for the specla acts passed at each session of the leg,

 100 yard dash " First, Charles Leete; second, Private Steele.
 S-legged race--Farnam Fox and Corporal Baker.
 Ball throwing Private Young; sec- ond, Veteran Scranton.
 Shoe race-Private Semple; second. Leonard Hotchkiss

D. sperry, Major Tilson, General \ George H. Ford, Lieutenant Colonel McCabe.
 Commissioner Smith spoke of his recent advancement in police circles and gently expressed the hope that I the Grays wouldn't break out coming back to town in such a way as to make him overlook duty.
 General Bradley spoke of a move ment begun by veterans to buy new state flag to add to the company's colors. Thereupon collection of $52 was taken to encourage the idea.
 Captain Fox presented Arthur M Phillips with Townsend medal for recruiting the largest number of men during the year.
