He said that if the new lights were installed the alleys well as the streets could be illuminated with but little additional cost.

Wisconsin, undertook 20 defeat the

The report being brought up shortly
after o'clock, Mr.. LaFollette took the
floor. lie insisted that a quorum
should be maintained at all times and
up to 6 O'Clock he had demanded 20
roll calls He thus was able to obtain
more or less reraxation and at the same
time keep the supporters Of the bill in
their seats.
The heat was excessive and many
OF his colleagues were very restless
under this restraint. It soon became
evident that the republicans would
have difficulty in maintaining the
presence of majority and It was Just
as apparent that proceedings would
be suspended whenever the necessary
forty-sven senators were not pres
ont.
Mr.. LaFollette complained of his re-
cent illness and during much OF the
day leaned strongly upon the arm Of
his chair sitting as he talked. The
vigor and resources Of Mr. LaFolette
were probably never more severely
tested in better voice and he was
speaking with more vehemence after
midnight than had characterized his
remarks at 3 o'clock In the after
noon. He was also making more at,
tempt at presenting an argument than
he had made during the day.
After Mr.. LaFolette had spoken for
more than ten hours he received a note
from some watcher he had placed on
guard.

BLAKE QUITS ROAD
General Amusement Manager
Resigns, But Will Not
Tell Reason.
GREAT SURPRISE TO MANY
Had More Parks Under His Wing
Than Any Other Man In the
Country.

James A. Blake, who for a number
OF years has occupied the responsible
position Of amusement manager for
the Consolidated road, has resigned
and quits the service of the company
after to-day. This announcement will
be received with unusual surprise by
large number of persons in this
state and especially in New Haven,
where Mr. Blake Is given large credit
for the way in which he has devel-
oped Savin Rock to the finest outdoor
amusement resort in the east.
When asked yesterday whether It
was really true that he had resigned
Mr. Blake said: Yes" but would say
nothing as TO the cause
Mr.. Blake entered the amusement
field in this city in 1900 when be took
the management of affairs at Savin
Rock for the old Winchester avenue
road. SO successful was he that he
was continued In his position through
all the changes and two years ago the
Consolidated road, then owning about
all VI lIt lluilty lOdiS III llllS StHlt
and Massachusetts, made him general
amusement manager for all its parks
in New York, the Bay state and Con-
necticut.
Probably never has such a task
been placed upon any one man. In
It's last issue the Street Railway Jour
nal referring to his successful work
aIa 1,
parks than any man in the country.
In all he has had under his care
twenty six, and has also done the
hiring, leasing engaging of shows for
the theaters, posters and press work
and the getting up of special attrac-
tions.
For years his annual baby shows
and juvenile days at Savin Rock
have been looked forward to with the
keenest anticipation by thousands.
His sterling press work Is known in
every newspaper office in this city 1t
Is we'll known that Mr.. Blake took
great pride in Savin Rocks growth
and there Is really sincere regret that
he quits his labors at the very mo-
reached a state of success little
dreamed of in SO short a time. He
has been an indefatigable worker and
has we'll merted the success he has
earned.
According to Mr.. Blake's closest
friends he is absolutely mum as to
the reason Of his resignation, and
much surprise is manifested especial
ly so because he has everything in all
the parks arranged for the summer
and would have had clear sailing for
the next three months. As one man
expressed IT. IL Mr. Blake wont tell
why he quit there must be something
behind It, and perhaps 1t would be
good thing for Mr.. Mellen to inquire
into the cause"

Mass Meeting of. Union Rep
resentatives Vote to
Start Campaign for
Representation.
WORKERS NOT RECOGNIZED
Politics, Heretofore Forbidden
in Meetings, to Be Chief
Topic Of Interest in \
= the Future.

Organized labor of New Haven in
mass meeting last night started
new era, one in which hereafter II is
to go into the political field and make
struggle for representation In every
and all offices with especial designs
just now on having a workingman ap-
pointed on the board of education
next fall, when two vacancies occur.
This Is because the workingmen be-
lieve that in view of recent events
working men of the city are not get
ting a fair show in the management
OF the schools and hereafter they are
to demand II, voioing the sentiment
of 10000 actual workers of the city
the meeting last night was a repre-
sentative one and in the argument
that came up on the question of se-
curing representation on the several
city boards many things not at all
complimentary to the present condi-
tion Of affairs were said.
The meeting was held under the
auspices OF the Trades Council but
was open to trades union men from
any and all bodies whether they were
affiliated with the Trades Council or
not AS result committees Of from
three or four to dozen or fifteen
were present from nearly every local
union. and Carpenters hall, where the
gathering was held was we'll filed
when the meeting opened. The call
was to discuss economic and political
principles Of the day and was issued
under the Fifth Friday" rule of the
Trades Council. This rule is to the
effect that whenever a fifth Friday oc-
ours in any month politics may be dis
cussed at meeting. but at no other
time. This rule 1t was stated last
night was to be done away with now
and that hereafter politics would be
taken up at every meeting OF Trades
Council, local union or any organized
body of workingmen, 1t being the in
tent of that body of citizens to assert
itself and by so doing get into such
power that workingmen would be
given a chance to say something In
the city's government.
The principal, and in fact the only
question that came up last night was
that Of securing the representation on
the several city boards These boards
quickly dwindled down to the board
Of education which during the even-
ing was scathingly arraigned because
Of Its previous actions and because OF
Its present makeup II being stated
that so far as a workingman was
concerned the people who were the
most concerned In the conduct Of the
schools, they had nothing to say.
More than score spoke on the sub
ject and In every instance the state
ments were in favor of not asking
but demanding In the name Of organ
lied labor representation in that body
next September.
When the announcement of the com.
ing two vacancies on the board Of ed.

has not been lessened through the
passing years. Today the younger
