Bridgeport, Sept. 5.-An important ruling on the new liquor law has been mae by the county commissioners who have decided that man who takes out five licenses may have the same five persons endorse all five applications. The signer swears, under the law, that he has signed for no other applicant, and as the same applicant takes out the five licensees the signers will be complying with the statutes. No one person, however. Is allowed to take out more than five licenses and he must swear that he is the bona flde owner of each one.

 The Lusitania will not attempt to come into the bay until after day light and will reach quarantine about o'clock, docking few hours later With the Lustania's s trip the Cunard line and England capture from Ger many the eagerly sought record for possessing the heetest ship on the Att lantic.

TAFT BOOMERS kRE
 EASILY DISTURBED Shy At Every Move in the
 Political Arena UNEASY OF ROOSEVELT
Speaker Cannon Is Also Disturbing Element in Presidential Porridge Pot-Politician Discusses Situ-
 ation is Washington.

Washington, October 1O.-(Speeial.) 1.-The Taft boomers are finding much to be disturbed with these days. At all events they are apprehensve over the least lit tie move of not only the antis but the friends of the President himself
 Tt is this way" said a politician to- day. "The Taft managers in several sections of the country have been trying recently to reach some kind of under standing with the local administration bosses about Taft delegations. They have been asking the plump question whether the delegation from certain district would be instructed for Taft.
 Tn many instances the local admins tration men have passed them up with the suggestion: 0, let us get an ad ministration delegation, and then at the proper time we will turn it over to Taft
 'ANel, for while that went all right, but it is becoming too frequent At the same time they notice the 1urries of sentiment favorable to Roosevelt for an- other term. The Taft people are dis quieted.
 ''lne point is this; If the admnistra- ton outfit is intent upon securing a re- nomination for President Roosevelt. why of course the Taft people will not object, but Taft people thought the administra- ton was for Taft. If so, why not let US promise Taft delegations outright and not administration delegates to be after ward turned over to Taft"
 In addition to this Taft supporters see a Cannon plot thickening in the report that the republican congressional commit tee has decided to establish it's perma nent headquarters in Washington this winter instead of New York All of the officials of th1s committee are members of Congress. strong followers of the speaker and being right here on the ground can take advantage of any little thing which may crop out favorable to the speaker.
 Senator White of Maryland, who was a warm personal friend of the late Sen ator Morgan of Alabama, the two grand old men were born the same year-1S2i- will have no opposition for the short term which expires March 19, 1909.
 Owing to the fact that the expenses Of the senatorial primary in Maryland must be defrayed by all candidates, short term and long term alike, Senator White will have to pay something like $l500 for his seat
 That will be the first time he has been called upon to dig down to such an eX- tent. The election of Senator Morgan last year cost him only $20. Senator White says: For my part l think it is beautiful in the party leaders and the people to give the short term to an old man without anyone contesting the honor. The only drawback is the assessment for the primary, which in my case may amount to $1500. I am proud to say that every office l have ever held in Maryland l have been elected to a pauper. I never gave 8 bill to be senator. etver- nor or anything else. though l contributed money within my means to the general oampa ign funds" W. s.
