WANTS WE'LL ABOLISHED.
prof. Weir Says 1t VIII Have No Place
with Bennett Fountain.

with Bennett Fountain.
Professor Weir, the designer of the
Bennett fountain, thinks that with the
erection Of the fountain the old well
On the Green should be abolished. Pro-
gessor Weir said that the committee
were very deliberate u considering all
the practical requirements of the case,
and after due deliberation had settled
upon the use of city water to supply
the Ave spouts required in the fountain.
1t was understood that the analysis of
the old well water was far from sat
fsfactory, due to its location, and the
filtered city water held for hours un-
dergTound and constantly running was
preferable, not only from its quality,
but because Of its having sufficient
head to perform the various functions
Of the fountain satisfactorily. The
city water, against which there is now
no occasion for prejudice, when cooled
and purified in the filtering plant and
conveyed thence underground and held
in the pipes within the thick walls Of
the stone fountain win be found to
be quite cold enough for drinking pur-
poses when flowing. Professor Weir
feels confident that the practical re-
quirements of the Bennett drinking
fountain, which have all been carefully
considered, will be found satisfac-
tory; and many drinking fountains
have been inspected in reaching these
conclusions. ANY attempt to supply
water to the jets with mechanical
pumps would be unsatisfactory and ex-
pensive, requiring constant attendance

TROLLEY HEARING.
State Commission VIII Consider Two
More improvements.


More improvements.
Mayor Studley yesterday received no
Fice from the railroad commissioners
that on Tuesday next at II a. m. they
would hold public hearing in the Of
fee at Hartford on the petitions Of the
Consolidated road for a new line from
Congress avenue through Howard to
Washington and to the West river
and also on the double tracking in
Edgewood avenue, between Hotchkiss
and Orchard streets.
Both matters have been up before
the public at aldermanic hearings and
were not opposed. The new trolley
route is part of the line to eventually
extend from the West river bridge
through Spring street in West Haven
and to meet with the Congress avenue
line in front of Lion park.

tireIy Rebuilt.
During the thunder storm early yes
terday morning a one-family dwelling
house on Dixwell avenue near North
street, belonging to Harry NJ. Warner
of Church street, Highwood, was
struck by lightning and the upper part
was destroyed by fire. There was con-
siderable delay in getting the High
wood fire department to the scene,
owing to the lack of a system to call
the flremen and in consequences only
the first floor of the house was saved
The house was in course of com
pietion and would have been ready
for occupancy in a few weeks.
The lower part was so badly dam
aged by the fire that all but the
foundation walls will have to be torn
down and the house rebuilt.
The house was worth $4,000, AMI was
insured.

HEPBURN PUSHES THE ISSUE.
Moves Resolution and Amendments
Dealing With Land Question.

Washington, Feb g. Senator Hey
burn yesterday introduced resolution
compelling the secretary of the interior
to disregard the order of the president
and issue patents on all land and min
eral applications where the proofs SUBJ
mitted show full compliance with the
requirements of law, and where no pro-
test has been filed against the granting
of such patents. The senator expressed
the opinion that by the adoption of
this resolution large percentage Of the
land business of the country will be re-
sumed, being now tied up.
Mr.. Hepburn also introduced an
amendment to the sundry civil bill
providing for the completion Of the
survey of public land in Idaho to be
made by a rectangular system of sur
vey, without waiting for the requests
OF demands of settlers, and appropriate
ing 100000 for making the surveys.
He also proposed an amendment to the
agricultural bill providing that none Of
sections Is or 36 shall be included in
any forest reserve where such sections
were granted to the states by the act of
admission to the Union, or the enabling
act, and that land more valuable for
grazing than for timber shall not be
included within the forest reserves.

OPPOSES CONTRACT PLAN.
ceief Engineer Stevens Wants to Dig
Panama Canal.

Washington, Feb. S.-Chief Engi-
Ineer John F. Stevens wants to dig the
Panama canal, and if he cannot dig the
big ditch without the medium of con-
tractor, there is likely to be another va
caicy at the head of affairs on the 18TH
mus. This is understood to be the Sc
cret OF the mysterious holding up of the
award OF the Panama canal contract
that has excited interest and curiosity
for the last two weeks.
Everybody has been wondering why
the administration has been delaying
action on the oliver bid for digging
the canal. One theory has been that it
was due to fight between rival fnan-
cia9 interests, those represented by the
contractors underbid by the oliver
firm being credited with the efforts to
throw out the lower bidder and take
the prize. There have been tangles re-
garding Mr.. Olliver's partners. Fin
ally positive decision from President
Roosevelt, Secretary of War Taft and
Chairman Shonts, of the Canal COM
mission, has been postponed for two
weeks longer, ostensibly to complete
a full examination of the oliver bid,
but in reality, it is believed, to solve
the problem presented by Mr.. Stevens
position.

CALLS BOOKER SENATOR.
Foraker Takes Fling at Activity of
Negro Leader.

Washington, Feb. 8.-Five witnesses
were examined today in the Browns
vile inquiry by the Senate committee
on military. All were members of the
discharged battalion of negro soldiers
except ex-Sergeant Luther Thornton,
of company B. He testified that, when
aroused by the firing on the night of
August 13, he was under the impress
sion that the barracks were being fired
upon by the people of the town.
The next witness called for by SEN
ator Foraker was Winter Washington,
and Senator Overman asked if he had
said Booker Washington.
"No," said Mr.. Foraker, Booker
Washington is too busy attending to
his senatorial duties to come here"
He referred to the interest of Booker T.
Washington in the question of having a
negro appointed to a Federal position
in Ohio, patronage which has been re-
garded as belonging to the senator's
from Ohio.
Washington's idea of the Browns
vile affair was that "Mexican Greas-
ers" and "Texas cowboys" had done
the shooting in order to make trouble
for the negro soldiers.

Sale Of Timber and Retention Of
Land Recommended.
PROVISION MADE FOR COUNTIES
Will Get One-fourth Of the Proceeds
of All Timber Sales in Lieu
of Taxes.

Washington, Feb. r. The senate
committee on public lands today favor
ably reported bill repeating the tim
Der and stone act and providing that in
the future the government shall retain
title to its timber lands and sell only
the timber at not less than it's ap-
praised value. The committee incor-
porated Senator Fulton's amendment
requiring that 25 per cent of the money
derived from the sales of public timber
shall be paid to the counties in which
the sales are made.
Mr.. Fulton served notice on the COM
mittee that some time ago he would op-
pose the repeal of the timber and stone
act unless one-fourth of the receipts
from timber sales should be paid to the
counties for school and road purposes,
and it was in compliance with this de.
mand that the bill was so amended.
The counties will not only receive 25
per cent of the receipts from timber
sales on unreserved timberIand bnt
from sales within forest reserves as
we'll. This concession to the counties
is made to reimburse them for tares
which they might ultimately collect

OPPOSED TO DISCRIMINATION.
-os Angeles Chamber on Separate
Schools for Japanese.

Washington, Feb. g. The president
today received a telegraphic copy of a
resolution adopted yesterday by the Los
Angeles chamber of commerce upon the
japanese school question, which ex-
presses the belief that the public senti-
ment of California, especially of the
southern part, upon the question of the
exclusion of the japanese from the
general public school system of the
state has been to some extent misrepre-
sented and is largely misunderstood.
The sentiment is expressed that on the
main question, whatever may be the
diversity OF opinion upon the constitu-
tional and legal phases, the board is
assured that ''the general trend of pub
lie opinion in Southern California is
decidedly adverse to any discrimination
against the Japanese as a people in the
matter Of public school privileges, and
the belief that this opinion is based
upon consideration of equity and justice
IS held altogether independent of any
astssss se WbicIt the japanese govern
nent has assumed OF may assume IN
regard to the question"

BILL FOR COAL LAND LEASING,
House Committee Agrees on Provis-
ions to Prevent Sale.

Washington, Feb. Z. - The house
committee on public lands expects on
Friday to report a bill providing for
leasing all government coal lands. AT
its meeting today several features of
the bill were agreed to, one permitting
four persons to form an 'sociation and
take collectively $500 acres of coal
land. Another guards against persons
acquiring coal lands under homestead
or other laws by prohibiting the pat
enting of coal deposits on such lands
within 25 years after the original entry
is patented. Thus, if person should
fraudulently homestead land which he
knew contained coal, he could not de-
velop that coal for 25 years.
In the senate public lands committee
today Senator Newlands presented a
bill requiring three years residence on
a homestead before the entryman can
commute, but this was voted down. At
present ID months residence is all that
is required. The president favors Mr..
Newlands' idea.

Washington, Feb. Z. = Chairman
Jenkins, of the house committee on
judiciary, submitted report today in
which it is stated emphatically that
the committee is of the opinion that
congress has no jurisdiction or author
ity over the question of woman and
child labor, and has no right to sup
press any abuses of such labor or anne
liorate conditions surrounding the en-
ployment of such laborers. The COM
mittee holds that the regulation of wo-
man and child labor is within the po-
lice power of the various states.

Toxic, Feb. 6.-The view taken here

arising from the San Francisco school
incident, is illustrated by the following
official statement, which was issued to-
day: "Since the talk of war was first
transmitted from America we have
carefully watched the development Of
feeling here. There has not been the
slightest excitement anywhere in the
country. The talk of war is completely
ignored here, and implicit confidence is
reposed in President Roosevelt and his

RAISE ALL RATES.
General Advance in Freight Inaugu-
rated by Eastern Lines.

IdtCO OI 6dStCTU GuCSs
!, Chicago, Feb. 6.-The first step was
taken here today in plan to inaugur-
ate general increase in freight rates
throughout the country in such man
ner as to bring millions of dollars add
ed revenue to the railroads and at the
same time greatly facilitate the move
ment of traffic.
As the result of meeting, which
was attended by executive officials of
railroads east of Chicago, and having a
total of more than 100000 miles of
lines, vote is being taken upon a
proposition to increase the rates of
nearly all of the main commodities
fully 10 per cent by decreasing the
minimum which it is permitted to load
into freight car.
The railroads interested in the ini-
tial movement extend through all the
territory east of Chicago and north of
the Ohio river, clear to the seaboard
and north into Canada. In this terri.
tory freight rates are controlled by the
association known as the Central
Freight association. The action will
undoubtedly be followed by the lines
south of the Ohio river, and then by
the lines west of Chicago to the Pacific
coast.
1t is difficult to estimate how much
the proposed increase will bring the
railroads in added revenue, but the sum
will be big one. Traffic officers,
however, state that it will not be suffi-
cient to offset even the increased ex-
pense to the railroads occasioned by in
creased wages, estimated at between
800, 100000 and $110, 900, 900 annu-
ally.

DISAGREE ON FAIR BILL.
Washington Senators and Represent
atives at Cross Purposes

Washington, Feb. Con- Thursday
the senate committee ON expositions
will meet in the room of Senator An
keny to consider and probably report
the Ankeny bill making an appropria-
tion for the Alaska, Philippine and Ha-
waiian exhibits at the Seattle exposition
in 1909. If the bill is reported it's
passage by the senate is certain to fol-
low.
The house members of the Washing
ton delegation disapprove of the course
of the senators and have urged that no
action be taken on the bill this session.
While it can pass the senate, it is abso-
Elutely certain that itcannot get through
the house this session, for the chair
man of the house committee is not only
opposed to this exposition appropria-
tion, but has said he will not call his
committee together to consider the bill.
Moreover, having appropriated liberal
ly for jamestown, the house leaders
will not consider the senate bill this
winter.
In view of this situation the house
members charge that the senators are
placing them in an embarrassing posi-
tion by pressing the bill at this time,
but their protests are falling on deaf
ears.
