DIFFERENCE OF NO USE
ccssion Only Way CiGarmakcrs Can
 Accomplish What They Want.

Recording to a communication recelv- there yesterday from one of the mem rs closely in touch with the interna- ilai council of cigarmakers, the meet \ scheduled for Springfield at an ear } date In regard to the doing away
 h agents in strikes and lockouts ll come to nothing. A preliminary .eting was held in Springfield yes Hay, but the date has not been set
 for the big meeting.
 founcil for the whole of New Eng sd. should be formed which would
 le up matters of interest to New
 gland councils before they went to
 chief body. According 10 the con |kution matters have to bo referred |ithe national body before benefits be granted, The only way the ci- hmakers could accomplish what they kch Is to secede from the Intcrna- al union, and this would be fruit with the present large number of pn men out of work.
 he cigarmakers went back to work he local shops yesterday morning commenced to replenish the stock
 Enc New Haven brands. In some <9he factories the demand for the Hrs had been so great that they xP all gone, and there are many or-
 to fill In the coming few weeks.

FAVOR VOTING MACHINES
Report to That Effect Will Go in on
 Monday.

A favorable report on the adoption and installation of voting machines in thie city will be handed into tho special meeting of the board of alder men, Monday night, by the commit tee which held q public hearing on the machines last week The report will, it is expected, also contain rec concentrations to the board as to how the city can pay for the forty three that will be needed in New Haven The machines were demonstrated here last week and will cost $500 apiece whether bought single or in dozens and to equip the city with them would entail cost of $25,S00.
 To raise this amount several plans are already under consideration. Ac- cording to a member of the commit tee last night the first step will be an 1 investigation of election expenses of former years and determine if enough cannot be chopped off here and there to pay for at least two machines a year. This saving was to be put into sort of sinking fund to pay off d bond issue that might be asked for later. The recommendation, how ever, may not be in such shape as to be presented on Monday night, be- cause of the difficulty in going over the election accounts.

 The session was called to order at s chairman and John Parker secretary. Superintendent of Charities Jacob Fro llch at once moved that a committee of three be appointed to bring In a. list of nominations, according to the usual custom, Ira Fonda objected and demanded that the nominations be made from the floor.

Life Savers Unable to Reach Four Masted Ship Rick mers, Stranded Near
 Fire Island.
NOW A HOPELESS WRECl
Topmasts Carried Away and seams Opcncd-Sandy Hook Boat Fails in Attempt at Rescue
 from Scaward.

New York, May 7.-.Buffeted by seas which a bowling southeaster sent surg Ing over the shadows of Short Beach until she was all broken up amIdships, the four masted ship Peter Rlckmers with a hundred mon on board. lay in a position of extreme peril tonight When nieht closed in and shut off the view the vessel was being swept from side to side by white seas. only her jigger mast remained and on board were her crew of forty odd men and the sixty wreckers put aboard yester- day to jettlson the cargo of case oil and to edge the big Dutchman out into deep water Once lines were flung across the boat but the wind and seas swept them away.
 All day life savers awaited calm ing of the storm which would enable them to send their surf boats to the distressed vessel The rough eeas, however, continued and the wreck could not be reached tonight. At 6 late hour the Sandy Hook life saving crew, known all along the coast for { feats of daring boarded the revenue cutter Mohawk and taking their fam. ous power boat Rescue. in tow, headed for the Rickmers. Presently the cut ter was forced to turn back and al midnight the life savers returned tc the Sandy Hook station. It was then Iannounced that they would again board the Mohawk al 3:S0 o'clock to- morrow morning and make new start They hape to reach the Rickmers bl daylight.
 | Although the wind began to die dowr after sunset lt still hung south of eas and the vessel is doomed without doubt in the opinion of the life savers and bay men. It Is impossible to reacf 1 her from offshore, and whatever succol the five score men may expect must 1 come from seaward Should the Rescu, reach the wreck lt will take at leas three trips for her Co carry off botr wreckers and crew Those who know the treacherous Long Island shore know that there Is no hope of the seat suhslding for another 24 hours and 1t fl certain that the Rickmers cannot las ! that long, unless by a miracle
 | During the storm of Wednesday night ! the Rlckmers was driven further ashore in the sand than she was when sh,
 went on the bar in the storm las Thursday night Today began with ; heavy gale which battered the blf German ship about until her topmast' were all carried away. Then the hug waves which continually broke over th' ship, opened up the seams between he
 steel plates and allowed the water t'
 enter her holds.
 Tonight she lies full of water and { hopeless wreck.

s. s. ADAMS SELLS
Mohican Company Buys State Street Department Pro-
 vision Store.
S75,000 IN REMODELLING
That Amount Wlll Be spent by Mun- scy Concern in Rchttlng the
 Building.

One Of the most important changes in the local provision business in some years was made public last night by $. s. Adams, the proprietor of the large department provision store on State street, and owner of string of smaller stores that cover many sec- tions of the city. Mir Adams an nounced that he had sold out his en- tire interest in the State street estab- lishment, which Is one of the largest of its kind in the city, to the Mo- hican company. which will take pos- session on July l.
 The Mohican company controls one of the largest series of stores in the country. lt had its inception in New London some years ago where the first Mohican store was established by Frank Munsey. the publisher, in his immense Mohican building in that city. Since that time the string of stores has been extended to many other cities. The company now has its main offices In New York, where 1t buys everything in large wholesale lots. The company had n store about five years ago in New Haven on i Church street, next door to the Bijou theater, but later it was discontinued. There arc now stores in Bridgeport, New London. Springfield. and in most of the larger cities up and down the Hudson river.
 The details of the newest business transaction of the company could not be learned from Mir Adams when he was seen last night, because most of the minor details remain still 10 be made. Mir. Adams did admit how ever, that he had been offered a good price for his big store. He said that he had been told by the manager of the Mohican company that about S75,000 would be expended by the company in remodeling and refltting the store and that new fixtures would be put In. No expense will be spared i to make the store one of the most at traetive in all New England Imme- diatey upon taking possession on July 1 the company will close the store 1 for two months until September and during that time It will do the remod. cling, which calls for marble carvers and counters and the best of fixtures
 On the other hand, Mir. Adams stated that it Is not his intention tc | retire from active business In the city | At present he has six stores in vari. i ous districts. Their number he ex. l poets to augment with others during the present summer or in the fall 1 He was not certain whether he would purchase and open another larg, store in the center of the city similar to the present store next to the Jour. nal-Courier office.

NEW HAVEN WASHED CLEAN

 Wccks-Two Inches Fell.

The rain which settled in here early yesterday continued until press time thIs morning, and during the twenty four hours the precipitation was over two inches, lt was the biggest days work of the rain makers this spring. and according to reports from several parts of the city and vicinity there were many minor washouts. Tho down. pour drove everybody who didn't have business Inside, and Chapel street yes terday afternoon looked like 1t usually does al o'clock In the morning, Shop ping was at q standstlll and the one session bell tolled D weIcome toll to hundreds of school children at the us- ual signal hour early in the afternoon.
 Taking it altogether the rain was the heaviest in several months, and MT. Tarr refuses to give much oncourage- ment for pleasant Friday or Satur- day. The indications are that both days will be wet, although not as moist as yesterday
 Accompanying tho rain was a wind 1 which reached q velocity of twenty-two miles an hour early in the afternoon and which created no little trouble for the few wearers of skirts who by ne- sesslty were on the streets Between the rain and the wind the women who hrayed the elements had their hands full
 Along the water front things were dismal and several small boats wer, swept from their moorings as the re, suit of the wind and exceptionally high tide. X dozen scuooners put IT the harbor, as che blow kicked up biz sea outside and the wind was toc strong for comfort Sports were knock. ed out and a bargain day went fol naught.

UNCLE JOE HAS A BIRTHDAY
House Reminds Speaker That He IS 72 Years old, and He Wishes
 He Could Forget It.

Washington, May l.--A touchlng trip- ute was paid by the house of represeh- tatves today to Speaker Cannon this being his seventy-eecond birthday The usual roll call on taking a recess at the close of the day had proceeded for some time when 1t was interrupted by MT. Champ Clark of Missouri. MT, Speaker" he inquired, "is not this the seventy-second anniversary of the birth of the speaker?" The speaker seemed taken by surprise, and modest ly bowed that 1t was. Well, remarked Mir. Clark, amid applause from every quarter of the chamber, "l wish to say We all wish you many happy returns Cries of Speech, Speech" followed, and the speaker leaning on his gavel said:
 Except by unanimous consent 1t ought not to be In order for anybody to interrupt the roll call, but, In the absence of objection, I sincerely thank the gentleman from Missouri-my friend, personal friend as am his, political opponent as I am hls, for his kindly lcmembrances on this, the sev- enty-second anniversary of my birth. I sometimes wish I could forget 1t and everybody else could" Here there was applause and laughter. But" he continued, after all, it is some com pensation for being seventy-two when friends recolect the birthday with kind words and thoughts.
 Many years service in the house of representatives authorizes me to state, as I have stated before, that so far as l know or believe there Is no greater Legislative body than this.
 In hllbustering times we sometimes have something ec>temper, something of feeling, but while we are partisans In the country and partisans in the house, we are all citizens of the same country and 1t is true as we work at partlsanship and for politics In which we believe, on each side of the center
 aisle there is to be found patriotism fidelity Integrity for the best good of the whole country as we see 1t from our respective standpoints.
