.HARBOR MATTER
BEFORE COURT
Judge Dole Will Be Called on
:, :. to Decide the Dredging
Controversy.

The Harbor dredging controversy is
to be brought into court as a means Of
settling it.
An injunction viii be sought re-
straining the present contractors from
proceeding further with the contract
except in accordance with the direc-
tons of the United states Army En-
gineers.
The papers in this proceeding are
being prepared now and will be pre-
sented to Judge Dole as soon as pos
sible, probably TODAY.
This proceeding will present for the
decision of the court the question of
who is right in the controversy. Or
the court may hold that the United
States is sufficiently protected by the
bond given by the contractor and the
amount of money still due and unpaid
on the work done. In that case it
may be held that the contractor will
not be enjojined from going ahead with
the work being always liable to make
good any departures from the contract
and specifications which it may finally
be held that he has made.
AS was stated by the Advertiser yes
terday morning would be done, E. j.
Lord, who has charge of the dredging,
was arrested yesterday afternoon on
a warrant issued by United States
Commissioner A. F. Judd, on complaint
sworn to by United States District At
torney Breckons The charge against
Lord is that he did excavate from a
certain harbor of the United States of
America, to w.t. the harbor of Honolulu,
Island of Oahu, Territory of Hawaii.
without the work of said excavation
having been recommended by the Chief
of Engineers of the United States of
America, prior to the beginning of said
excavation; contrary TO the form of
the statute in such case made and pro-
vided, and against the peace and dig
nifty of the United States of America
Lord was Immediately released by
Commissioner Judd on his own recog-
nizance in the sum of $500, and the case
was set for hearing on Monday. Frank
Thompson represents Lord.

MOTORMEN MAY GO
Trolley Hands on Middletown-
Meriden- Berlin Service to
Be Superseded,
BERTHS FOR STEAM CAR MEN
Important Change Urged by Bother
hood Of Fircmcn May Soon
BE Effective.

A man high In railroad circles says
that there will be some big changes
made on the Middletown- Berlin and
Mlddletown- Meriden electric branches
In the near future, by which the con-
troll OF these lines would be taken
from the Connecticut company and
given over TO the management OF the
New York. New Haven and Hartford
Railroad company, This means in all
probability, It Is said, that the trolley
employees who now run the electric
cars on these lines will be ousted and
that railroad men will be put In their
places The motormen's places Will
be filled by men taken from the rail-
road fremen and conductors places
by railroad brakemen who will be
broken in soon for the new places.
The wages paid to the new motormen
and conductors will be more than
those paid to the former crews as they
will receive the same wages as they
are earning on the steam road, This
new move will be most satisfactory TO
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Fire
men. who have been trying to gain
this point even since steam was
abandoned and the operation Of trains
by electricity on these lines was be-
gun.
Just what the feelings Of the trolley
men and the railroad company are
have not been stated but II Is possible
that the trolley men In Middletown
and Merlden may protest to the rail-
road company.
In addition to the changes TO be
made on the Middletown- Berlin and
the Merlden electric branch II was said
that the same. changes will be made
on all other branches where electricity
has been substituted for steam. The
electric line from East Hartford TO
Rockville and Melrose on the old High
land division, the line from Central
Village to Tafts on the Norwich anc
Worcester, and the Providence Fall
River line. will all be affected by this
change. II is expected to go into eff
feet about Sept ].

LONDON spooKs.

or after things unseen that London
is full Of haunted houses. The reg
ion from Fleet street TO oxford street
Is the cockpit OF metropolitan spook-
dom. while the dreary Euston district
Is habited by phantasms remaining
carthbound after many tragedies.
This latest discovercr and explorer
IN the byways Of horrors is Elliott
ODonnell. For the last few years he
has>focussed his entire attention upon
Lordon ghosts. and now he Is telling
his experiences and processes himself
Wiling to form parties to visit haunt

many residences with ghostly reputa-
tiorse and has had some hair raising
adventures by his own account.
There Is house in Berkeley Square
that boasts a room In which any one
dies who sleeps there at certain time
of year. The rest Of the year the
room is like any other we'll conducted
bed chamber, but the rash individual
who tempts fate by sleeping In its
precincts at the time when the spe 2ter
Is due never lives to tell his friends
what really happened,
Mr. O'Donnell did not venture to
sample the sleeping accommodations
OF ,e room. The last person who did
was certain Major Hector Munroe
of the Royal Engineers. He was en-
gagged to marry young girl. Phyllis
Denman. who with her mother had
lived for some years in the Berkeley
Sduare house, Having heard the old
story the major was consumed with a
desire to sleep IN the haunted room
a; the critical time and when the
month approached he insisted so
strongly that his hance and her moth
@. with many misgivngs consented
ard the major came one day to take
possession Of the room.
Mrs. Denman and her daughter de-
cided that they would not retire at all
the first night he slept there; SO In
another part OF the house they sat
and tremblingly awaited events
| Just before dawn they heard
tho sharp crack of revolver and the
tel rified girl In spite Of her mothers
ertreatles, rushed to tho room. only
to find the major with tho revolver
still smoking in his hand quite dead
from fright.
