HIGH EXECUTIVE ABILITY.

President Roosevelt, in his recent
message, cut out considerable work
for congress to do, and 1t is source
OF qualification 20 the people that
some Of 1t is getting done.
Prior to the message the leaders
In both national legislative bodies
had drifted into game of political
1inessing that was leading nowhere
In particular. There was need for a
sharp executive admonition, and it
came in the shape of the message.
Since that time there has been
marked progress. Several of the
measures urged have reached deci-
sive action. Notable among these is
the passage of the employers liabili-
~ act. Some of the measures urged
By the president will not pass, but

GROWTH OF TROLLEY SERVICE

From Chicago to New York by
trolley, travelling seven and a half
DAYS and over 1900 miles by local
and interurban lines, is the record
Just made by Chicago business
man who wished to discover the eX-
tent and value of the enormous de-
velopment of trolley systems
throughout the country.
The trip was continuous except
for three small breaks, and the re-
suit shows the great strides the
trolley service is making in develop
ing transportation service through
out the Eastern states, already
gridironed by trunk lines and
branches of great steam road sys-
TENS.
Such a development goes far to
prove what James ]. Hill has claim
ed, that there is a demand for
transportation that is in excess of
what is possible for the railroads To
furnish though they could double
their equipment by double-tracking
their systems. The trolley has its
field distinct from that of the steam
railway, and in its development it
has not affected the business of the
latter. The same can be said of the
development of waterways now
urged as a national enterprise. The
country has need for all these forms
OF transportation to keep pace with
the demands of its wonderful COM
mercial development.

and congressman will have to face
their record in the coming cam
paign.
Roosevelt with congress on his
his predecessors have been. The
chief executive of the nation is Wig
orous, and his messages have had a
snap to them that has produced ac-
ton, not because of their dictatorial
style, but because the president has
sensed public sentiment and voiced
1t in such manner as to receive
strong support from the constituents
of the several congressional delega-
tions, who are the real power, being
the court of last resort.
This one feature of the president $
strength is marked, also. in anothe"
man prominent in public life-Gov'
ernor Hughes of New York. The
latter is now fighting similar bat

Hughes are of high executive type,

HAYWOOD CASE
Judge Seaman Refers 10 Ii in Talking 10 a Graduating
 Class at Chicago.

Chicago, June 5.-A remarkable endorsement of the jury verdict which acquitted William D. Haywood of complicity in the Steunenberg murder was made last night by Judge William H. Seaman of the United States circuit court of appeals.
 In an address delivered before the graduating class of the Chicago Kent college of law, Judge Seaman cited the Haywood trial as one of the most striking proofs of the contention that American juries can weigh evidence in a case without being swayed by public opinion.
 When the Haywood case was tried" said Judge Seaman, "the con- munity where the trial was held and indeed the whole country was afiame with popular clamor. The people and high officials of the people demanded Haywoods punishment and demanded 1t with voice that no jury could have failed to hear.
 The verdict rendered in the face of public passion and demand was absolutely just. And it was a re- markable vindication of the jury sys- tenn in America. Whether or not the defendant was guilty will never be absolutely known, but it was clear that he was not proved guilty under the law and the Haywood jury, un- influenced by the public clamor, stat ed this fearlessly.

Napoleon and the CobbIer.

On Napoleon's arrival at Mars-la- Tours the mayor, Il farmer, tried in vain to make the speech he had pre- pared. Rowing and scraping. he stood fascinated by Bonaparte's scrutinizlng black eyes-an unhappy squirrel in the gaze of the rattlesnake. Close be- hind the trembling mayor stood an old shoemaker in figure a true Don Quixote. clad in his working dress, Why don't you speak, you fool;" he muttered from time to time to his leader. At last his patience gave way. He pushed the. mayor aside. advanced. with his left hand removed his greasy cotton nightcap, with his right lifted the horn spectacles from his nose, made his bow and delivered the oration: Emperor. you are on your way to thrash the Prussian rogues once more. hope soon to see you re- turn crowned with glory, and I have nothing more to say. but that Caesar and Alexander were botches in com parison with you The emperor laughed and inquired of the old man whether he had any sons. "Yes: four are in the army-two of these in the guards" Their names were taken down. and the honest shoemaker soon saw them raised to the rank of officers

WILL PROSECUTE
Government Is Determined 10 Enforce ihe Poor Food
 Law.

Washington, June Followina the lead of the department of agri- culture in the enforcement of the pure food law, the internal revenue department has planned series of prosecutions for alleged infrac- tions of the internal revenue laws. all over the uinted States. Officers of that department made seizures yesterday at two local drug stores on the ground that they were sell ing cigars in contravention of the internal revenue laws. The ruling relates to the removal of the en- tire tops of boxes to which the major portion of the stamp was affixed, thereby leaving the packages un- protected by proper stamps The government contends that this is prima facie evidence of the non- payment of taxes and cigars not pro- tected with stamps may be declared forfeited to the United States.
 Cigar dealers contend that when a box with lid attached is placed on show great portion of space is taken up unnecessarily and a prac- tice of doing away with the lid has been universally followed. The in- ternal agents, however, have re- ceived instructions that all such cases shall immediately be reported and the cigars detained.

LIVERYMAN ANGRY.
MT Musler Found Fault With Outfit
 This Afternoon,

The biggest row in the history of municipal outings took place on West Main street this afternoon, opposite city hall, between Commissioner Ja- cob Musler of the bureau of assess ment and John McEvoy, the Baldwin street liveryman. The bureau had planned for an outing to look over Wolcott street and other places where the city proposes to make some im- provements, and MT McEvoy had been engaged to drive the board from one place to another. He was on the ground early with what appeared to be good horse and a neat carriage, but the outfit didn't come up to MT Musler's notion of what the board ought to have and when they were about ready to start MT Musler re- marked to MT McEvoy, whether in jest or in earnest it would be hard to tell, that he would not ride in such a conveyance. MT McEvoy was prompt and emphatic in defending the appearance of his rig and inform ed the commissioner that some of the very best citizens in Waterbury had used it and he never heard anybody find fault with it before. It was as good as the market afforded and if the commissioner didn't like it he was at liberty to get something bet ter. Then both commenced to declaim at the same time and kept it up until MT McEvoy gave his impatient steed a touch with the whip, headed the animal towards the stable, and left MT Musler and his colleagues to hoof it or get another vehicle. After a de- lay of ten or fifteen minutes another carriage was secured and the mem- bers were driven off at top speed. People who were on the ground at the time regarded the run-in as a misun- derstanding but it would be difficult for anybody to reach that conclusion after taking a glance at the faces of the commissioner and the liveryman. Whatever way the thing started, it is certain that both were mad clear through at the wind up. The men are about the same weight and if they had got down to first principles they would have made it interesting for each other and for others, too.

BILL OBJECTIONABLE
Railroad Company May Not Ac. cept Measure Passed in Bay
 Slate Yesterday.

New Haven, June 5.-As regards
 the Boston X Maine merger bill pass
 ed in the Massachusetts senate yes
 terday, inquiry in New York, New
 Haven & Hartford railroad quarters indicates much dissatisfaction with
 the measure and strong probability
 that the company will not accept two
 sections of the bill which under it's
 provisions are left to the acceptance
 of the corporation. Special objection
 is raised to that of those two sections which calls for the transfer of voting power to the Massachusetts commis-
 sioners on the 35 per cent of Boston
 & Maine shares held by the New Ha- van company. Such a transfer ap- pears to be regarded by New Haven
 officials as almost tantamount to an
 alienation of those shores and as giv- ling undue if not illegal powers, to 1 the Massachusetts railroad commis- I sion. The company will, however, remain passive in the matter until the measure comes up for it's definite action.
 It is also ascertained pretty defi-
 nitely. that the company will remain
 passive in the federal suit until the form of the decree under the recent finding of the Massachusetts supreme court is made definite. Thus far it is understood the propositions coming from Attorney General Malone as to the form of the decree have been in determinate in character, one asking for an injunction or a little more.
 when the decree is made specific by the attorney general the New Haven company is expected to take the form | Of the decree anew to the supreme court and a new trial or even a num- Der of them is looked for. Points in the decree may also raise questions that must go to the United States supreme court. It is now regarded in railroad circles here as almost cer- tain that the case will pass into an- other federal administration.
 In regard to the merger it can also be stated on the authority of a high railroad official here that the inter- change of additional Boston & Maine shares on even terms with New Ha- ven shares was purchased such a con tinued exchange was arranged for and some twenty million dollars at par in New Haven shares was kept in the treasury of the company for that purpose. Events in Massachusetts since the purchase was made have changed the attitude of the New Ha- ven company.

WANT A PLAYGROUND
Complains Are Being Made For Using inc Public Sireeis-.
 Youngsters Must Play.

Complaints are constantly being made about youngsters playing ball and other games on the public streets. This is a good deal of nuisance, but after all when one stops to consider that in many places children have no place else to take little exercise it is hard to know what to do. It is too bad that there is not some particular place in every section of the city where a few hundred youngsters can romp about during the fine weather without annoying anybody, but this is not so and until better things are provided the small boy will have to look out and see that he does not get into trouble. Three or four lights of glass were broken this week in one short street, by accident, of course, but just the same such things are not pleasant, and nobody should blame d man for showing bad temper when such thing happens.
