 When We left Nome about twenty minutes ahead of the Umatila We were down two feet by the head.

CRAWFORD POWER CUT OFF
CAR SERVICE HELD UP
Passengers on Stony Creek Run Inconvenienced
 in Afternoon.

The failure of the branch power house of the Connecticut company at Branford inconvenienced many people yesterday afternoon, when it was found that the 24-minute schedule which usually goes in effect at 1;1S was de- l2yed until S:1S
 Complaint was made that at o'clock people were kept waiting over an hour for the trolley from Stony Creek to New Haven The explanation was that when power was lost at the Branford branch, the current had to be forced through from New Haven, and this was not strong enough to warrant doubling the 4S-minute service.
 In connection with the New Haven Stony Creek ride it may be added for the benefit of the curious that the crews change at Branford at each meeting of cars, so that the familiar fly of the motorman with the run to the end of the line will facilitate keep ing of schedule and preventing any possible accident on the road. Other wise one crew would be three hours covering the run to the end of the shore line.

GIRLS RUN AWAY FROM HOME THREE ARE MISSING
Believed To Be In Newark With Three Young
 Men.

Three young girls between the ages of IA and 16 living in Fair Haven, ran away from their homes one day during the latter part of last week and their exact whereabouts is a matter of con- lecture Yesterday afternoon the moth- CT of one of the girls called upon Chief Wrinn in very agitated frame of mind and told him the story She said that young man by the name of Fred Kraft who lived In Newark, N. J., had become acquainted with her daughter and that he had for some time past been corresponding with the girl. The two other girls, chums of this one, also were acquainted with two young men in Newark and it is believed that the three girls went to that city and are with these young men Whether the men came to the city to meet them or not is uncertain.
 The girl about whom the chief was asked to make inquiry is 14 years old and her name Is Jennie Kenney Mrs. Kenney was in again to see the chief last evening and gave the address of Kraft as 39S Fifteenth avenue, New ark. Chief Wrinn then wrote a letter to the chief of police in that city ask ing him to endeavor to locate the girl and inform him if he finds her. No complaint has been received by the po- lice from the relatives of the other two girls so far.

FINANCE BOARD TO-DAY
Meeting Will Determine the Payment
 of County Tax

The meeting of the board of finance this week will be of more than usual interest, in that it will probably determine what measure the city will take to meet the assess ment for the county tax, which is due September 2. The meeting will be held this afternoon and it is expect ed that Controller Rowe will present to the board a statement as to the probable amount of money which may be expected for the special sun dry account, and so determine wheth- CT the city can probably pay the as sessment out of that account without causing large deficit to be made up out of the next years income or not This is likely to determine the ques- ton of whether a special tax will be levied for this sum of $3S,000 or not The probability is that there will be none

ELKINS LAW NOT A
 RAILROAD MEASURE
Pennsylvania, New Haven and Other Roads Fa- vored the Hepburn
 Measure.

Georgetown, Ohio, Aug. 21.-In his first address after the Columbus speech Of Secretary of War Taft, United States Senator Foraker, before the Chautauqua assembly here, to-day dis cusscd .h.s fellow townsman's opinions, from which he differed in many partic- ulars.
 Quoting freely from the speech of the secretary of war and his own remarks iii the debates in congress, Senator Foraker expressed his opinion in the various public questions discussed by MT, Taft. In the course of his speech MT. Foraker said:
 "All the provisions of the Hepbdrn rate bill specifically mentioned by Sec retary Tlft In his eommendation of that measure, except the rate making provision, were Incorporated into that bill hy the senate, Most of them with active assistance, and some of them upon my own motion
 "The bill, as it came from the house, was a. very imperfect measure.
 "The interstate commerce commit tee of the senate recognized this fact, but majority of that committee act ing under instructions that should nev- CT have been given, refused to allow any amendment whatever to be made in tho committee, and 1t was only after a parliamentary contest upon almost every point that the amendments that were finally adopted were made in the open senate.
 If the bill had been put through the senate as 1t was put through the house and the senate committed, undsr or ders to allow no amendments whatev- CT, it would have been without any re- deeming features whateved, except such as the friends of that proposition may claim to find in the provision con-

MAY HAVE TO
 PAY COMMISSIONS If New York Buys Traction Lines, Money Paid Bel
 mont Will Have to
 Be Charged Up.
TO BE INCLUDED IN
 CONSTRUCTION COST
Sum of $45O, 900 Given a Year Ago to Belmont & Co. for Selling
 Bonds.

New York, Aug. 21.-When the city takes over the local traction lines some day, which 1t may do under the law, commissions of several hundreds of thousands of dollars paid to August Belmont & Co.,, bankers for the sale of bonds will be included in the cost of construction upon which the price to be paid by the city will be based.
 This was developed to-day during the inquiry into the affairs of the traction companies now being conducted before the public service commission.
 In the course of his examination of E. P. Bryan, president of the Inter- borough Rapid Transit company. William M. Twins, special counsel of the commission, brought out that $450y000 which was charged to the construction account year or more ago was a discount charged by Au- gust Belmont & Co. for selling large quantity of bonds In addition to this, three-quarters of one per cent, charged by August Belmont & Go. as commission, also was charged to the construction account
 l''The city is to purchase the road some day?" asked MT. Wins.
 ''It is so stipulated replied MT Bryan.
 And that $45O,OO0 and that commis- sion would have to be paid by the city as part Of the cost2"
 II think it was a legitimate part 0a the cost of construction.
 "A year after the road was rum ning?'
 Tt was part of the cost of con- struction."
 MT Bryan said that part of his own salary of $35,00J a year is charged to construction account. He is also presi- ! dent of the Subway Construction com pany.
 After considerable fencing between MT Twins and Mir. Bryan regarding the methods of charging various items of expense in connection with the subway lines to the construction and equipment accounts, Paul D. Cavath, represent ing the Interborough Rapid Transit company at the hearing. stated that under the contract with the city, the city at the end of the lease IS to take over the equipment of the subway lines at price to be agreed upon or to be fixed by appraisers. It made no diff ferenece, MT. Cravath said, what. the company might charge to these ac- counts, the city could not be compelled to pay for anything but the tangible property used in opertaing the sub ways and the price for that, if 1t could not be agreed upon, must, under the agreement, be fixed by appraisers.

NOW AT BARNUM'S s Head of Iron Moulders Asks Wage Adjustment for
 Certain Men. DELAY IN THE MATTER Situation at the McLagon Foundry Remains
 Unchanged.
DELAY IN THE MATTER

Henry Donnelly, New England dep- uty of the National Iron Moulders' union, went to the factory of S. H. Barnum just before noon yesterday and at a short conference with the of ficials of the foundry asked that the wage of the men who were receiving at the present time less than $2s75 a day be adjusted. The officials of the company explained to MT. Donnelly that already most of the iron workers were getting over the sum asked for by the present demand, and that those who are getting less do so because of the quality of their work. Mir Donnelly said he understood that conditions at the Barnum foundry were much bet ter than at sorae other places, and that there were only a few cases where the wage should be raised. Proba- bly, nothing will be done toward get ting more pay for the Barnum em- ployes until the return from New York of Third Vice President John R, .O'Leary, who was here when the strike at McLagon's was called.
 The forty iron molderes who decided to strike Tuesday evening did not go to work Wednesday morning at the Me Lagon foundry and no move has been made by either the strikers or by Fred erick B. Farnsworth, president of the McLagon company, to settle the trou- ble. When asked last night how mat ters were progressing at the foundry Mir. Farnsworth refused to make any statement other than that since MT Donnelly and MT. O'Leary saw hin Tuesday, he has seen no representative of the iron holders union,
 The strikers met yesterday morning
 in Trades Council hall and a list oi those who are to receive benefits while they aresn at work was made up.

GREAT ENTHUSIASM
Marks the Close of the International
 Zionist Congress.


 The Hague, Aug. 21.-The close to- day of the eighth International Zionist congress, which has been in session in this city since August 14, was marked with great enthusiasm. All the dele gates united in singing The Hatik- woh, or psalm of hope.
 Dr. David Wolffsohn of Cologne de- livered the closing speech. He dwelt upon the success of the congress which, for the first time and in spite of divergence of opinion, had united in support of the idea of proceeding by political education to practical work for the deliverance of the poor Jewish people. He said among other things that the Jewish people must yet con- quer the world.
