THOMASTON TROLLEY
Senator Bradslreet Discussed IL
 al Business Mems Outing.

Ralph Blakeslee acted as toastmas- ter at the banquet given by the Watcr- bury Business Mems association at Lakewood yesterday. The speakers included Senator Bradstreet of Thom- aston, Judge Peasley, and many others. As anybody would expect, Senator Bradstreet improved the op- oprtunity to say few words In favor of the Thomaston Tramway Go, whose directors think they should be permit ted to come into Waterbury on their own terms, and the senator handled his theme so well that some of his hearers became converted to his idea of things and suggested the old plan of forcing the city's hand in such cases, a conference or something Of that sort to talk 1t over. The mat ter is now in the courts and the ofit- ciaIs take the ground that under ex- isting conditions this is the proper place to have the matter threshed out, but perhaps both parties to the dispute might be able to get together after q few heart to heart talks, although it does not appear so from what the powers that be have to say on the question. The base ball game between married and single men resulted in a great victory for the former, the score being Is to s, and the yictors say they could have done better if they wanted to.

ATWATER'S SCHEMES
Brass City Senator Talks Plainly
 About Silver Ciiy Mau.

Senator Atwater of Meriden is talking about the conduct of number of public men whose positions on cer- tain questions which came up at Hartford didn't happen to meet with his approval. He gives nearly every body a whack, including Senator Hur- Icy of this city. whom he classes with the army of fellows who used their influence on behalf of corporations when they should have stood for the public at large.
 Senator Hurley takes exceptions to the strictures from the Silver City, gentleman and said some things or him to-day to Q Democrat reporter which wouldn't look we'll in cold type. Leaving these aside and taking few of the more modest remarks of the senator from Waterbury 1t would ap- pear that Mir Atwater is mad simply because he failed to succeed in win ming others to his way of thinking and then thought he would give them roast"
 I'm not ashamed of my record at Hartford said Mir Hurley. worked. talked and voted for every measure introduced there by the board of al- dermen of this city and such other things concerning this town that any, body could be expected to support. 1 also acted with Senator Brady of New Britain in his effort for the pas- sage of their conduit bill and was ready on all occasions to help seiators and representatives from other towns who had measure or measures before the house which they could show had the backing of the people who sent them there. Atwater had lot of wild cat schemes, including vest pocket charter applications, that he was more inter- ested in himself than anybody else that saw in Hartford. He Is an in- tolerant man and has nothing but harsh words for everybody who can- not agree with him. never thought 1t was very good sign of honesty to be too ready to impugn the mo- tives of others and l am more con- vinced of the truth of that idea siuce I met Atwood than ever before.
 What he says about my reason for not voting for the Morris Cove trolley project is not true. 1 never told him Commissioner Walter said to me that if I should vote against this measure he would appoint Abner Hayes to the position of prosecuting attorney at Waterbury. That Is deliberate false hood and the man who has the bold- ness to say so in print is a poor citi- zen, to say the least. nave not time to go into this matter now, but when I get to it shall have something to say that will set Senator Atwood thinking and writing about himself instead of others. The journal of the senate shows how stood on the diff ferent resolutions that came up there and I'm willing to stand by It."

PROTEST OF JAPs.
Threaten That We May Lose Their
Trade Unless They Are Better
Treated.

Tokio.--At joint meeting of five
chambers of Commerce here on Sat
urday, it was resolved to address the
principal chambers of commerce in
America regarding the recent trou.
bles in San Francisco. A vital por-
ton of the address is as follows:
1T is to be extremely regretted
that such unfortunate incidents
should be allowed to occur so fire.
quently, as it is feared that, unless
they are speedily stopped, the ill
ceiling which our countrymen are
now constrained to harbor the people
of a single section in America may
eventually have an unhappy effect
upon the development of the CONNER
cial relations between the two ma
tons, for while the United States is
good customer for our natural
products, Japan is also increasing
her demand for American goods and
promises to become one of the most
important markets for your ever-ex-
banding and prosperous industries.
Should the progress of trade and
commerce between the two nations
| become INSTRUCTED as the result OF
the unwarrantable action of a small
section of your population, the loss
sustained by the two countries would
| be incalculable."

SET FIRE TO HUSBLND
IN ORDER TO MARRY LOVER
Terrible Crime Of Pennsylvania
Woman, Who Evidently Thought
the Divorce Courts Were too
Slow.

Scranton, Pa,-Mrs. Kindra Howes-

the county Jail charged with having
burned her husband to death that she
might be free to marry her former

The police officials say that Mrs. How
este has confessed and given all the
details of the crime. All the parties
are Lithuanians.
According to the story told to the
police by Mrs. Howesto, she and Hut
70 were lovers before she married
Howesto. in the old country. two
years ago. Hutro preceded them to
this country. When they came here
they settled near where Hutro was
living, in Dunmore borough. Hutro
renewed his attentions to Mrs How.
este and frequently was at their
home. According to her confession,
Hutro came to Howesto's home on Mon.
day and suggested that she do away
with her husband so that they could
be married.
Following Hutro's suggestion, the
woman got her husband drunk, and
when he was stupified in bed, she
went to the room with a kerosene
lamp She poured the oil from the
lamp on the bed and then, she says,
the lamp dropped on the bed, setting
it afire. At the sight of her husband
roasting and squirming in the flaming
bed she became horror stricken and
rushed from the house crying fire
Neighbors eXtinguished the flames
| and had Howesto sent to a hospital
where he died without regaining con
| seriousness.
Hutro denies ali knowledge of the
crime. Both are held pending an in
vestigation of the story.
