SMITH TOOK POISON.

Restaurant Keeper Drank Carbolic
 Acid.
 Hiram B. Smith, restaurant keeper, committed suicide at his home, S65 Wtlalley avenue, yesterday morning about 10 o'clock, by drinking carbolic acid. The body was not found until half an hour later as Mir Smith had been about the house as usual and in apparently his usual frame of mind, and no thought was given to his ab- sense. No reason is known for the suicide aside from an extreme nervous ness from which he has of late been suffering and which is thought might have caused him to take his life. He was forty-eight years old and leaves a wife, son and daughter.

SOME REMARKABLE RECORDS IN


 TEACHING.
 It seems hardly possible that one state can possess two persons each with a record of fifty years of active, con- tinuous service in teaching in the pub lie schools. Connecticut can claim both of these as graduates of her normal school system, and both In the same class. In Hartford is Miss Mary Har- ris, who has served the state, both here in New Haven and later in Hartford, for more than half century, while her normal school classmate, who ilas, like her, taught more than half century, lis rounding out here in New Haven a somewhat more unique term of service, for this year will complete for Prinei- pal John G. Lewis, of the Webster school, a record of fifty years in the employ of the school district of New Haven. And his many scholars of these years hope to see not only that, but the rounding out of the fifty years as master of the Webster school.

HENEY'S IDEAS
ON OTIS

Francis J. Heney, in an address
in Los Angeles recently, paid his
respects to newspaper publishers
who sell their editorial and news
columns to the highest bidder. The
fact that Harrison Gray Otis, owner
of the Los Angeles Times, accepted
$4,000 bride from President Cal
houn of the United Railroads OF
San Francisco, inspired Heney to
deliver scathing denunciation that
is applicable to many other news
paper publishers Of the country.

After serving 10 years of his SEN
tence Raffeloff was removed to the
prison at Akatnj, where discipline
was less severe.
1t was sorry day for the Rus
sian government when this trans
fer was made. The crafty and des-
perate Rafieloff escaped, and from
that day forth he was a vigorous
and unrelenting foe of the govern
ment which had proved such mon
strous tyrant over him.
After many remarkable adven-
lures and escapes he succeeded in
reaching European Russia and
crossing the frontier without being
captured by the Russian police. He
crossed the frontier into Germany
and later settled in Switzerland
near Zurich. There he proceeded to
direct the movements of the Rus
sian revolutionary party. There he
has lived ever since and has prob
ably had a directing hand in all
the plots against the car and his
ministers in recent years.

FEDERALs FALL OUT

The time of the Central Labor
union was largely taken up last
night in a discussion of charges
preferred against Federal union
1924 by Federal union 12,222. The
charges state that Federal 1854
has admitted to membership fore
men and bosses in violation of the
laws of the A. F. of L., from which
the union holds charter.
The laws of the A. F. of l.. are ex-
plicit in refusing membership to
men in charge of work and in po-
sition to employ workmen. This is
to prevent the control of the union
falling into the hands of the man
whowho employs the greatest num-
Der Of workmen. 1t is claimed that
Federal No IL, 624 has as members
city foremen, who WELD a great in
fiuence in the union.
Another charge made by Federal
No. 1929 is that the members of
Federal union 1924 employed at
Natatorium park do not receive the
scale adopted by the federal unions.
The discussion was so lengthy
that a motion to adjourn was car
ried before the real business of
the meeting had been acted on.

HEARST QUITS DEMOCRACY.
Declares That Independence Leagu.
Will Act Alone

ALBANY, March civilian Randolph
Hearst read himself out of the democratic
party here yesterday. meeting Of all the
Independence League leaders of the state
was held at the Hotel Ten Eyck. and he
again accepted its leadership. In the course
of his speech he said:
II am happy that our league has contin-
ued to increase in strength. BY first ally
ing itself with the republican party and
then with the democratic party 1t has been
able always to advance the principles of the
league, and feel sure that it has reached
a point where it can now advance those
principles independently"
Mr.. Hearst's term as a democratic rep
resentatfve from the eleventh New York
district expired Monday, and he is now free
from all ties to that party. He especially
invited his followers and the public to be
vigilant In anticipation of next years cam
paign.
The Hearst men gathered to discuss legis-
latiOn, and also to confer on plan to
for the court of appeals this year. All were
anxious to hear what Mr.. Hearst would
have to say. and they eheered his utter
anees enthusiastically.
Some of the leaders in their speeches told
the league people that the other parties
would probably split the nominations for
the appeals court or each nominate through
the state committee. The league, they said,
would hold a regular state convention,
where all might have a say. and would
nominate candidates with whom the Or
ganization could seek support on a plat
form of protest against present conditions.
One of the first things Mr.. Hearst did
was to call on Gov. Hughes. The former
rivals talked beside the big desk In the
executive chamber for fifteen minutes.
