SCRAMBLE FOR ELECTIONS.
High School Scholars on the Still
 Hunt for Honors.

There is much commotion among the junior members of the New Ha- ven high school concerning the cleo tions of class officers The Boardman school had mass meeting last week and elected Frank Chandler as it's candidate. Dr. Gushing, the principal of the local high. yesterday said that chandler was ineligible to hold office, owing to the fact that he changed his course. This fact, which has just been made known will prove a great blow to the Boardman students. who had already bound themselves to sup port Chandler. As affairs stand now they will have to elect new candi- date and will probably call another mass meeting The final elections are next Friday
 The Hillhouse students have also had mass meeting. but only had time to have elections for the presi- dency Fred Comstock received the most votes, but his chances of win ming against the Boardman candidate seemed very slim, until last night. for it looked as if the students of Hill house would not be content with only having one candidate They were thinking of having more candidates, which fact would split their votes and give them less chance of winning. However the other two Hillhouse candidates met last evening and decid- ed to get out of the race, leaving a clear field for Comstock. Besides do- ing this. they have also agreed to sup port Comstock.
 A mass meeting will be called for Hillhouse at the science lecture hall on Wednesday,, March 25, after school Something will he said to the students about all voting one way for their candidates Since the Hillhouse school has about 227 votes and the Board man only III. it looks as If Comstock had good chances of winning the pres idency. If he does come out victor ious treasurer and assistant treas ured will then also be elected from Hillhouse.

MUCK BARKING SUIT
Refrigerator Gar Company Asks $100,000 Damages from
 Magazine.
REBATE CHARGE THE CAUSE
Senator La Toilette Likely to be Called as Witness In Mcclure
 Case.

New York, March 23-A case which expected to develop many interesting and possibly some sensational features came up in the United States circuit court to-day when the trial of the suit of Emmanuel T. Phillips president of the Union Refrigerator company of Milwaukee against the Mcclure com pany, publishers for alleged libel, was begun Phillips asks slOO00o damages which he claims he sustained through the publication in McClure's Maga- zine in November December and Jan uary, 1905 and 1906, of a story charging him with accepting rebates from cer- tain railroads The objectionable matter was printed in a series of articles from the pen of Ray Stannard Baker The charge came in connection with a re- port under the then Governor of Wis consin, now Senator La Toilette of the State railway commission. When the case was called to-day the plaintiff made an effort to have struck out u portion of the defendants answer to the suit which claimed that the pub lication of the article upon which the charge Is based, was privileged because the data was taken by Mir. Baker from official reports The motion was denied by the court and that portion of the answer was permitted to remain in the record It was said in the courtroom to- day that 1t Is not unlikely that Senator La Toilette may be called as d wit ness in the case.
 Mr. Phillips told of organizing the Union Refrigerator Transit company of 1 Wisconsin in 1903 and said that in 1906 it was a car leasing company and had no connection of ownership with any shipping company At that time the company owned 2417 refrigerator cars which were leased to railroads and shippers for mileage rentals fixed by agreement. Ray Stannard Baker call ed on him in his office in January of 1906, he said, told who he was and said he had called to have a talk. MT. Phil 1 lips said he told MT Baker that the Union company never mad received a dollar of commissions and also told him that the railroad commissioners expert examiners had admitted that they had made mistake and got the names of the Union and Northern com panies mixed.
 MT Phillips said that in 1903 he was vice-president of the Northern Refrig- orator company and owned one share of it's stock It was true that. the com pany had accepted commissions, he
 said. but he declared none was accept cd subsequent to January 1. 1903 Mir. Phillips said that at the conclusion of his talk with MT Baker the latter said he was satisfied that a mistake had ' been made and that he would return tc
 New York and write a retraction that he thought would be satisfactory. Ad- iournment was then taken.

 SULZER ON RAMPAGE New York's East Side Con- gressman 0bstructs House
 Proceedings. CLAIMS LAURELS STOLEN Dencunces Mann. of Illinois. as Pet tifogging Lawyer. Mean and
 Contemptible.'
CLAIMS LAURELS STOLEN

Washington, March 23.-A scene somewhat out of the ordinary was enacted in the house of representatives to-day because of a charge made by Mr Mann of Illinois, that MT Sulzer of New York had put in the congres- sional Record what purported to be a speech delivered by him last Saturday but which Mir. Mann charged was not the one delivered. It all had to do with NJ Sulzer's claim that he and not MT. Mann was the author of the legis- lation which brought the Department of Commerce and Labor into being. A resolution offered by MT. Mann to ex- punge the printed speech from the Record was adopted by a strict party vote but not until after the house had been treated to a bitter denuncia- ton of MT Mann by MT. Sulzer and several lively tilts between the latter and the speaker. Mr. Sulzer character ized MT. Mann as a ''pettifogging law yer, mean and contemptible," for which he was called to order by the speaker with the admonition that such lan- guage could not be used toward a member. Twice afterward in seeking to justify his claim of authorship he was interrupted by the speaker with a similar warning. Anticipating that his speech would be ruled out and with the view to getting it back into the Record, Mir. Sulzer resorted to piece of strategy by trying to have the speech read and later endeavoring to read it himself. but the speaker insist ed that he could only address himself to the resolution to expunge.
 smarting under the action of the Re publicans, MT. Sulzer for the rest of the day posed as an obstructionist He objected to all unanimous consent pro- positions and halted the proceedings of the house for a considerable time by point of no quorum.
 After passing a number Of measures relating to the District of Columbia the house at 4:O1 D. m. adjourned out of <respect. to the memory of the late Sem ator William James Bryan of Florida.

A PLEASANT BIRTHDAY.

On December 5, Mrs Seymour Vel. ton of Church Hill passed her S3d birth day. Friends, relatives and grand children remembered her with many gifts and congratulations and an old neighbor sent her very large birth day cake. Mrs Welton is remarkably we'll and hearty for one of her ad. vanced years. and in very pleasant weather is occasionally able to attend church at St Johns, where she is a faithful member. Some few weeks before winter set in, she drove with Miss Nellie Welton to the east end of the town in order to see the new girls school, as she takes great interest in the doings of younger generation. Mrs Welton's husband, the late Sey- mour Welton, passed away during the great blizzard of March 1888. The subject of oJr sketch is one of eight children of Edward ScoviIle and Julia B.

A CLOSE CALL FROM A BAD FIRE.

A CLOSE CALL FROM A BAD FIRE.
 The house of Horace B. Burr on Burr street had narrow escape from being destroyed by fire, last Sunday evening, by lamp exploding in the sitting room. MT Burr, his grandson, Joesph, and hired man were all in the basement kitchen when the family cat came hustling down stairs and they looked up to see what the matter was. and saw the room above all ablaze. They all ran up stars and Mir Burr grasped the table cloth on the table where the lamp had exploded, which was all on fire, and threw it out the door, and with the help of his hired man they soon smothered out the rest of the fire. The carpet and the mantle back of the table were somewhat burned, but otherwise no damage was done. MT Burr, by keeping cool and acting quickly, saved the house, but it was close call.
