The Commonwealth brought from the capitol and stored in the court house today a wagon load of furniture which will be offered in evidence when the trial is resumed on Monday. This includes a bootblack stand, for which Sanderson collected S1,619, from the state and paid The sub-contractor $125. The desks and chairs upon which Sanderson's profits were $500 and S4O0 per cent respectively.

PRINCIPLES DECLARED
 BY GOVERNOR HUGHES
Tor the First Time the Country Knows
 Where the Candidate Stands
lie Too Believes In National Honesty and Reform but Urges That it be Proceeded Upon After an Investf- gatiOn of Needs.

New York. Jan. Ex-Governor Hughes. whose nomination for the presidency is being urged by the New York county committee and other county committees in the state. made an open declaration cf his views on national issues and principles tonight. Until tonight when he was welcomed by scores of well known republicans at reception rendered him at the Re publican club. the governor had main tained silence on all questions affect ing tine country and the definition of his position on federal issues conse- quently had been eag rIy awaited.
 The governor told his hearers to- night that he did not come before them in any spirit Of rivalry or self seeking; that there were many repub- leans who by virtue of their charac- tr and dist'nguished services are worthy of the highest honor the party can bestow. D claring that the repub- lican party was the party Cf progress and stability, the governor in his speech commended the administration of President Roosevelt as one which 10 degree almost unparallelled. has impressed the popular imagination nd won the confidence of the people The country, he said. was under last ing Litigation to Pres dent Roosevelt for his vigorous opposition to abuses: for the strong impulse he had given 10 movements for their correction.

After Recommending Employers Liability Law the President Took Up His Favorite Theme
He Has Made the Additional Discovery That Maleac- tors Ot Great Wealth Are the Enemies of Organized Labor s Well IS o Himself.

ployers engaged in interstate com merce. By a constitutional majority the court holds that the congress has power to deal with the question in so far as interstate commerce is concern ed
 As regards the employers liability law, I advocate its immediate reenact- ment, limiting its scope so that it shall apply only to the class as to which the court says it can constitutionally ap- ply. but strengthening its provisions within this scope. Interstate employ ment being thus covered by an ade- quate national law. the field of inter state employment will be left to the action of the several states. With this clear definition of responsibility. the states will undoubtedly give 10 the per formanCe of their duty within their field the consideration. the importance oi the subject demands I also very urgently advise that a comprehensive act be passed providing for compensa- tion by the government to all employ es injured in the government service. Under the present law, an injured workman in the employment of the government has no remedy. and the entire burden of the accident falls on the helpless man, his wife and his young children. This is an outrage This is a matter of humiliation to the nation that there should not be on our statute books provisions to meet and partially to atcne for cruel misfortune when it comes upon man through no fault of his own while faithfully serv- ing the public. In no other prominent industrial country in the world could such injustice occur. for most all civil ized nations have enacted legislation embOdying the complete reorganization of the principles which places the en- tire trade risk for industrial accidents (excluding of course, accidents due to wilful misconduct, by the emplOye) onJ the industry as represented by the em- ployer which in this case is the gov ment. In all these countries, the prin- Ciple applies to the government just as much as to the private employers Under no circumstances should the in jured employe or his surviving depend ents be required to bring suit against the government, nor should it be the re- puirement that in order to secure recOV- cry negligence in some form on the part of the government should be shown. Our proposition is not to con fer a right upon the government en- ploye but to secure him suitable pro- vision against injuries received in the course of his employment. The burden of the trade risks should be placed upon the government exactly as the working man is entitled to his wages

'ation Is essential to protect the poo- pie rom unjust discrimination As a means of railroad supervision the gov einpr suggested an adm-nistrativ. beard and he declared that the Sher man antitrust act should be clarified and made more explicit: that the law should be male stronger and -ffe-fi,l by being made more definite. -I am rot for the punishment in the shape Of fines upon corporations except for minor Off5hses. The burden of tha fines imposed on such corporations is either transferred to the public or borne by the stockholders" declared the governor.

The governor declared that he did not believe in arbitrary action and that the rule of the people must be the rule of reason.
 We must be patient and impa~tiaI and thorough inv, stigation must Irecede action. Good will must dis place passion and the sole motive must be 10 seek the truth and do right said Governor Hughes. The s-eech was frequently punctuated by applause and cheers from the large gathering of club members and guests who stood packed in an immovabIa body on the floor of the hall for oyer an hour.

co he should be. entitled to indemnity for the injuries sustained in the natur- al course of his labor. The rates of compensation and the regulations for it's payment should be specified in the law. and the machinery for determining the amount to be paid should in each case be provided in such manner that the employe is properly represented without expense to him. In other words. the compensation should be paid auto matically. while the application of the law in the first instance should be vested in the department of commerce and labor. The law should apply to an laborers, mechanics and other civilian employees of the government of the United States including those in the service of the Panama canal cOmmis- sion and of the insular government. The same broad principle which should apply to the government should ulti- mately be made applicable to all pri- vate employers. Where the nation has the power it should enact laws to this effect. Where the states alone have the power they should enact the laws.
  liability law does not really mean mulcting the employers in damage suit. It merely throws upon the employer the burden of accident insurance against injuries which are sure to oc- cur.
 Tt requires him either to bear. or to distribute through insurance the loss which can readily be borne when dis uibuted. but which, if Undistributed. bears with frightful hardship upon the unfortunate victim of accident In theory if wakes weer always freely and fairly adjusted, they would always include an allowance as against the risk of injury. just as certainly as the rate of interest for money includes an allowance for insurance against the risk of loss. In theory if employees were all experienced business. men, they could employ that part of their injury to secure accident insurance. but as a matter of fact it is not Drac- Gcal to expect that this will be done by the great body of employees. An em- ployers liability law makes it certain that it will be done. in effect. by the employer. and it will ultimately impose no real burden on him"
 The president then proceeds to other relations between employer and em- Dloye; taking up the subject of infunc- tionS:
 Even though il were possible. I should consider it most unwise to abolish the use of the process of in junction. IL is necessary in order that the courts may maintain their own dig nity and in order that they may ir effective manner check disorder and violence. The judge who uses t cau- tiously and conservatively but who. when the need arises. uses it fearless ly. confers the greatest service upon our people and his pre- eminent useful ness as a public servant should be heartily recognized. But there Is no in my mind that it has some times been used hecdIessly and un- and that some Of the in- functions issued inflict grave and oc- casional irreparable wrong upon those enjOined. II is indefensible for a man to be enjOined from peacefully soliciting others to join a labor union. or under any ordinary circumstances from with drawing from the service of an employ er. in a controversy arising in good

 Washington.

ANOTHER PROTEST Taxpayer Complains of Ex- pense in Installation of
 Incinerator. ROT PREPARED FOR IT When Garbage Is Collected as It Should Be, Then Think of
 Burning It.
To the Editor of the Journal Courier,

To the Editor of the Journal-Cour.e-.
 Will you kindly publish a protest which many taxpayers are feeling deeply but have not voiced?
 After reading the various articles appearing in the daily press on the subject of the clty's garbage and hay ing in the last few months experienced collection of the same; the talk of incineration with It's costly plant and costly running expenses, we have all probably given the problem more thought than we have ever before found necessary
 Simply the question would seem to resolve itself into collection and dis position Naturally collection comes first for we cannot burn what we have not collected, which seems to be our principal and only pressing problem to-day. I venture to believe that there are still left among us men who are able to handle this collection of garbage efficiently and satisfactori- ly at fair remuneration.
 Remove this contract, ana all con tracts which affect our civic life from politics, let the standard be justly and fairly defined, let the citys business be attended to as honestly and square ly as our personal affairs, with thor oughness mixed with civic pride (which by the way seems lacking in New Haven), and one could safely predict that this garbage question, as well as many others, would be speedi- ly settled. Now as to the disposal oi this same garbage, for we seem to be adding another problem as disturb CT of our peace Firstly and lastly We do not need any costly inciner- ating plant; the city Is not large enough, nor so situated as to make
