NIGHT COURT HELD Judge Blakeslee Dispenses
 Justice in North
 Haven. LOCAL LAWYER THERE Bob Eaton and c eorge s. McLaren Have Sharp | Arguments.
LOCAL LAWYER THERE

aFollowing the example established in New York and recently initiated in Hamden, night court was held last evening in the town hall at North Haven, The smoky oil lamps cast a poetic light upon the gathering and the only prosaic thing about the whole performance was the fine which the prisoner had to pay,
 Assisting the regular prosecutor was George s. McLaren of West Ha- ven, a member of the firm of Clark, Hall & Peck, this city. The opposing attorney was Bob Eaton of North Haven, and Judge John H. Blakeslee sat upon the bench, which was rigged up especially for the occasion.
 Fines for contempt of court were continually threatened by the judge as the opposing attorneys, especially MT. Eaton, became hot under the col lar while arguing nice points of law and after a long trial the prisoner was found guilty on two counts O using abusive language.
 The prisoner, James Kennedy, wh' was arrested last Friday at first sait that he would appeal through hi representative, MT Eaton, Mir. Eaton however, did not care to take the cas to higher court, especially since tn fine was only $1 on each of two count and so the court was paid.\ The cost amounted to about $20.

Three Classes and Four Prizes for Each-Cut Entry Blank From
 Courier.

In connection with the Food and In dustrial Exposition which opens at the Second Regiment Armory on Saturday evening of this week, the Journal and Courier is to hold a military rife con- test in the military rifle range at the Second Regiment A<mory in Meadow street. Since the completion of the state range at East Haven interest in rifle shooting among the members Of the Second Regiment has increased very largely until at present there are in the Second Regiment some of the best marksmen in the country.
 The season for outdoor shooting ai the East Haven range closed on the 30th of September and from that time until the range is officially opened ir the spring the attention of the marks i men is necessarily given up entirely te indoor shooting. The contests in tht | local armory have been principally along the line of team competition be- tween companies of the Second Regi mont and in one or two instances tele graph contests with out of town teami have been held.
 Realizing the large amount of inter est that is taken among militiamel throughout the state in rife practice and wishing to further this interest the Journal and Courier takes this op portunity of establishing Itself asheart ily endorsing the principles which hay so often been outlined by Presiden Roosevelt in regard to the proper de velopment of America's citizen soldiers I In planning for this military rife con test the Journal and Courier does no l wish to limit the competition to NeN Haven n,arksmen and therefore invite to participate in this event any memps of the Connecticut National Guard.

KINNEY EXPECTS A REAPPOINTMENT General Measuring of In-
 terests Expected Early
 In Internal Revenue District.
PRESENT INCUMBENT
 IN GOOD STANDING
Claims to Be On Friendly Terms With United States s Senators Bubkeley and
 Brandegee.

Especial to the Journal and Courier,1
 Hartford, Oct. 22.--Early in 1908 there will be a general measuring up of interests in the internal revenue district of Connecticut, which com prises this state and Rhode Island. The chief office of the district Is lo- cated in Hartford. Besides the col- lector there are thirty stamp, division and office deputies, deputy collectors and gaugers in the district. Most of them have held office for a long per- iod. The term for the collector is not fixed, being the only government ap- pointment in the state where the term of office is not stipulated. The pres ent incumbent of the office, w. Frank Kinney of New Milford, was appoint ed by President Mckinley seven years ago. He is a relative of Mrs Platt and had the endorsement of the sen for senator from Connecticut. Col lector Kinney was not a politician and has not taken a hand in politics since his appointment. The office has been conducted without display. Collector Kinney's chances for continuance ir the collectorship may seem to be promising. He claims to be on thu best terms with United States Senator:
 Bulkeley and Brandegee But there
 is an undercurrent of feeling that ht will be superseded in February, wher
 the general overhauling of interests II
 the district a sort of inventory, vii
 take place. Of course Collector Kin
 ney has no claim on the office, whicl
 he has held for seven years. Tn
 place is one of considerable import
 ance and goes in to make up sena
 torial patronage in Connecticut.

 'I repeat what I stated before | left Washington this afternoon, if for no other reason than to em- phasize the attitude of the treas nry department 1t will use its facilities to assist in every proper way legitimate business interests, and its action will be prompt and thorough.
 ssThe National banks of New York city are in an exceptional ly strong condition. The general situation here seems to be well in hand and is being looked after by many strong and influential men, such as those whose recent action in the clearing house received emphatic public approval. The movement for siiAlilar concert of action among the trust companies should have a helpful and far reaching effect. | shall spend the day tomorrow at the sub-treas- Ury."
 This statement was made fol- lowing a conference on the local banking situation held at the Hotel Manhattan between Secre- tary Cortelyou, J. Pierpont Mor- gan, George w. Perkins, George F. Baker, Frank A. Vanderlip, James Stillman, and J. c. Cannon

It was also learned that the Trust Company of Amer ica had applied for and been granted liberal assistance. The bankers further decided to extend additional aid to the Trust Com pany of America should this be required.

Nashville. Tenn. Oct. 22.-"I doubt if the policies for which stand, tc punish successful dishonesty, have had any material effect in bringing about the present financial trouble, But If they have it will not alter in the slight est degree my determination to perse- were in these policies for the remain ing sixteen months of my term
 Tn substantially these words Presl- dent Roosevelt to-day told an immense concourse of Tennessee citizens that cries of stwolf' from Wall street will not swerve him from the work of re- form which he has undertaken The declaration was received with cheers, and marked the elimination of his visit to this city.
 The president went on:
 'eThere are certain gentlemen who I have affected to misunderstood my po- sition on that point, and to say that N have talked against men of wealth as such. that I have melted attacks upon the class that owns great wealth, Those gentlemen are blind if they see the l facts in that light. l will protect III every way in my power honest proper ty, I will protect the honest man of \ wealth to the extent of my ability. And in no way can I ultimately protect' the honest man of wealth so effectively as by doing everything in my power to bring to justice his dishonest brother o1 wealth. (GTeat applause)
 "Rernernber this, that achievement III this world is largely vicarious, that if we sit sutpine and let men of greet wealth set before the country as a whole the standard of successful dis- honesty, so that young men are taugnt to think of business trickery, of eva- sion and violation of the law, of stock gambling and swlndling as the chief roads to financial success, that fl we should let such a state of affairs exist, not only do we bring about a deterTli- nation of the public conscience as a whole. but as sure as fate we uatt- mately invite ignorant and vile re- action, which in trampDng out the wrong, will trample out each right al the same time; which in punishing tho

 Tn Face of Hopeful Statements,
 All this was in the face of reassur- ing statements by the acting state su- perintendent of banks that the sus' pected bank was solvent; declarations by prominent bankers that there wat no true basis for alarm, and assur ances from Washington that Secretary Cortelyou would not hesitate to ac promptly in any situation where legiti mate business was threatened.
 Now that the first scare is over ant the worst of the future discounted, i Is believed that local banking affair will soon readjust themselves.

WANTS ABATEMENT
George Cooper Asks City to Take of
 Taxes.

Before the special tax committee at it's session last evening came George w. Cooper, asking that taxes due the city from him to the amount of SPIT be abated. He claimed that on ac- count of the situation in which he is placed by the cut improvements at Grand avenue he was unable to get any appreciable returns from his property, and asked that the taxes for the time being be taken off, The commission agreed that 1t would do so if it lay in it's power. There Is some question whether, under the act creat- ing the commission, it can ahate taxes within the past two years. In case il is without power in the matter there will have to be a petition sent into the board of aldermen for abatement.
