ANOTHER BROADSIDE AT
 THE PROFESSIONAL LOBBY
FIRED BY GOVERNOR WOODRUFF BEFORE HARTFORD BUSI-
 NESS MEN.

Declares the Secret and Corrupting Influence That Has Hung Around the
 State House for Generation Must | GO-Great Moral Awakening in the
 Country Comes at the Right Time Present HOusecIeaning Time in POIitics-Vice President Byrnes and
 Dr. Lyman Abbott Among Speakers
 Charles Hopkins Clark TOast- master.
 | Hartford, March Ex-Governor Rollin s. Woodruff let loose another broadside | at the professional lobby on Capitol hill in the course of his speech on "The State of Connecticut" at the annual banquet of the Hartford Business Men S association in the Allyn house tonight. He declared in no uncertain terms that ''the secret and corrupting tnfu- eEce that has hung around the state house for a generation" must go. He alluded to the recommendations he made in his gubernatorial message and made a strong plea for the passage of a law granting trial by jury in damage suits. The banquet was largely attend ed over 20 being present The after dinner exercises were presided over by Charles Hopkins Clark, editor of the Hartford Courant. IA feature of the evening was the music, each guest be- ing supplied with an association "hymnal' containing about thirty-three of the old time songs which were played and sung throughout the evening with much enthusiasm. Tn addition to Gov ernor Woodruff the speakers were May or W. F. Henney, Rev. Dr. Lyman Ab- l bolt of Brooklyn, N. r.; Vice President Timothy E. Byrnes of the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad, Governor Woodruff in responding to the toast The State of Connecticut, !" said in part:
 There are topics which I can take the liberty of mentioning briefly in re- | sponse to my toast-things with which You are all concerned as citizens and men of affairs. and upon which your business depends for stability and per- manent success. At this moment I nave reference to the laws concerning banking and insurance. The great moral awakening in the United States came at the right time, while our coun- l try is In its present condition of peace, prosperity and commercial activity. Had the things that are now revealed come to light during hard times, or a financial panic or a political crisis we can hardly estimate the disastrous con- sequences that would have overwhelm- ed us. This is house cleaning time in politics and commerce. All square men are glad that the disease has come to a crisis, for it was terrifying course, and with the cooperation of all square men measures will be taken to cure the malady at it's root-and the root Is dis honesty.

ANOTHER THROUGH ROUTE
ONE FROM NEW HAVEN TO BOS-
 TON MENTIONED.

Counsel for the Consolidated Road App
 pears Before Massachusetts LegisIa- tive Committee and Explains Plans in Connection With the Proposed Changing of Tracks at Springfield Ready to ReIinquish Location on Water Front.
 Boston, March 21.-The possibility of the New York, New Haven and Hart ford railroad building a new line at of Springfield through southern Massa- : chusetts to South Bridge, and thereby obtaining another through route be- tween New Haven and this city was mentioned by the counsel for the road at d legislative hearing to-day, on the proposed shifting of tracks in Spring field.
 The bill before the legislature regard ing the change of tracks in Springfield provides for the elimination of all the tracks along the Connecticut river south of the railroad bridge and the building of new bridge for both the New Haven and the New York Central tracks across the river. This plan also provides for bringing the New Haven road up the west bank of the Connecti- cut river to West Springfield At the hearing to-day Colonel J. H. Benton for the road stated that the company had agreed to rellnqush its location along the Springfield water front for little less than a million dollars.
 Colonel Benton said that the New Haven company wanted a change in the Springfield yard as there was a pos sibility that the road might want to extend it's lines east of the city and obtain a through line to Boston. The distance from Springfield to South bridge the end of the branch line from the Midland division of the New Haven ven road is about fifty miles. Colonel Benton said that nothing definite had been planned but that the project had been considered by the company ever since the relocation of the tracks in Springfield had been agitated.

NO TUNNEL UNDER CHANNEL
BRITISH GOVERNMENT ANNOUN- CEs DECISION IN PERMANENT.

Opposition Appr0ves--Premier Says,
 Even If Military Dangers Could De
 Completely Guarded Against There
 Would still be Feeling of Insecuri-
 ty-This Would Lead to Constant
 Demands for Increased Naval and
 Military Expenditures.
 London, March M.-The revived pro- ject of tunneling the English channel received it's death blow, at least for a long time to come, by the announce ment of the governments well-consid- cred decision against the enterprise in parliament to-day. Premier Campbell Zimmerman in the house of commons, and the Earl of Crewe, lord president of the council, in the house of lords, made identical announcements to this effect which were echoed and approv- ed by MT. Balfour, the opposition lead- CT in the lower house and Lord Lans- downe, the leader of the opposition, in the upper house. It is understood that the bill will now be withdrawn.
 The premier said:
 Even if the military dangers could be completely guarded against, there would be feeling of insecurity, lead- ing to constant demands for increased naval and military expenditure, and creating feeling of alarm injurious to the country's commercial and political interests, which would not be compen- sated for by the advantages of the tunnel"
 Lord Lansdowne, referring to the fact, said he was inclined to think that the proposed tunnels disadvantages outweighed It's advantages, inasmuch as a tunnel would always be a source of great anxiety to the general public, even in peace times, and certainly when war was in progress or was irn- minent. It was on this sentimental rather than strategic ground that he approved of the governments decision.

KA1UABLE PAINTINGS STOLEN
Robbery of the Summer Home of
 Henry siegeI.

New York, March 21.-The robbery of the summer house of Henry Siegel, prominent merchant, at Mamaroneck, some time during last night has provid- ed a mystery which the police were un- abla to solve.
 Seven paintings, valued at thousands of dollars, bric-a-brac collected at much cost in Europe and considerable silver were stolen The value of the articles taken was not estimated by members of the family to-day, but in some quarters it was said that it would reach well over $50,OOO,
 Mrs. Siegel said tonight that she had suspicion as to the thief, and in- timated he might once have been em- ployed in the house.
 The siegel home faces Long Island sound, and it is believed the robbers used a power boat to approach the premises and carry away the loot.

 Washington, March 21.-Bluejackets and marines have been landed from the United States gunboat Marietta at Trujillo and Ceiba, and probably at Puerto Cortez, Honduras, in order to protect American interests in those ports. Advices to this effect were re- ceived to-day at the navy department from Commander Fullam, of the Mari etta, and they were at once transmit ted to the state department. As yet no word has been received as to whether forces have been landed at Central American ports on the Pacific coast side, but undoubtedly this step will be taken if American interests are consid- cred in danger.
 The navy department feels that the action taken by Commander Fullam brings the situation completely in hand, so far as the safeguarding of trade in terests is concerned. In addition to the protection given to Americans, it is felt that the action of this government will relieve foreign governments Of the necessity of taking any steps toward making a naval demonstration. The landing of bluejackets and marines and the policing of both shores of the Gen. tral American republics with United States gunboats, before trading vessels had been molested in any manner or foreign interests jeopardized, is regard ed here as diplomatic move that will prevent any international complica- tions growing out of the policy of the United States not to permit European demonstrations in Central American or South American waters.
