by the strikers to destroy the prop

in an attempt to turn public sympathy
against them or by some misguided
sympathizers. The bomb was thrown
into the big enclosure in Eighth ave-
nue. between Fifty-sixth and Fifty-sev-
enth streets, where $50 taxicabs be-
longing to the New York Taxicab COM
pany were stored for the night The

ment Police details from many sta

for a time all their efforts were re-
which had gathered in the vicinity.

ground. One of tho special policemen
on guard declares that he saw the

HOPES FOR PEACE
With ALL NATIONS
Imperial Rescript Outlines Ja-
pans Policy.

Toxic, Oct. 15.-The Official Gazette
publishes an imperial rescript, coun-
tersigned by Premier Katsura, in
which the emperor says:
"The East and the West are depend
ent upon one another for the promo
ton of their mutual welfare and on
this account we should endeavor to
cultivate the friendship of other ma
tions. At the same time it is highly
important in these postbellum days
that we should be united with other
countries in advancing the industries.
In this we shall be acting in accord
forefathers and our glorious national
history"
The imperial rescript, which was
intended to be addressed to the for
eign powers as we'll as to the people
Of Japan, became public property be-
cause of an address made by Premier
Katsura before the prefectural gov
ernors assembled in this city. The
premier outlined the governments
economic policy and emphasized it's
determination to reduce unproductive
expenditures. He requested the as
sembled governors to cooperate by
the practice of every possible econ
pmy and by basing their plans for ex-
penditures only upon actual receipts
The confidence which mad been some
what shaken by unwise and reckless
finance, he said, could easily be re-
stored by practical illustrations of a
determination in the future to follow
the paths of peaceful developments
and the cultivation of the friendliest
relations with all countries.
Speaking as premier Marquis Kat
sura spoke at some length upon the
rescript, which, he said, must be con-
.idered definite command from the
emperor for the people of Japan to
demonstrate their intention of follow
ing closely every form of economy and
take a position before the world as a
peaceful and conservative people.

the men without work who were ar

hany women wearing badges with the
words ''Votes for women" The three
leaders of the militant suifragists,
Miss Cristabel Pankhurst, demanded
8 trial by jury. Their cases were
postponed until Oct. 21.
Police Superintendent Wells testi-
fed that traffic had been disorganized
for four hours and that eight police
men had been injured by the demon
strators.
Miss Pankhurst acted as attorney
for Mrs. Drummond and Mrs. Pank-
hurst and her ss-examination of
Superintendent Wells furnished much
amusement for the spectators. Most
of the other prisoners were ordered
% give bonds for their good behavior,
with the alternative of Imprisonment
| for from one to two months. AS on
previous occasions the women elected
to go to Jail. When one of them was
| offered her freedom on her personal
recognizance she said to the presiding
magistrate: "You won't get any of
my money. | will go to prison. Down
with Asquith." Another declared that
she had not obstructed the police, far

TOWN TOPICS.
THE HAWLEYVILLE-BETHEL
 K. R. LINE.
HEARING BEFORE THE R. R. CON- MISSIONERS IN HARTFORD, LAST WEEK WEDNESDAY.

Judge w. J. Beecher, the town at-
 torney. and Selectmen s. A. Black man, Michael Donohue and H. H. Peck, representing the town of Newtown, Attorneys Samuel Tweedy and J. Moss Ives and Selectmen W. P. Bailey, Clar- ence Nichols and w. P. English, repre- senting the town of Bethel, were in Hartford, last week Wednesday, in at tendance at the hearing upon the ap- plication of the New York, New Ha- ven & Hartford railroad for the elimi- nation of grade crossings on the Beth el-Hawleyville line. MT Tweedy said that in 1872 Bethel raised some S6OO0 which was expended in buying right of way. That fact gave to the town a moral if not legal right in the mat ter. The petition called for the elim- ination of grade crossings in Bethel, but did not call for the elimination of one still more dangerous, at Green wood avenue. To that Attorney Spock, counsel for the railroad, replied that he did not object to amending the petition by eliminating the Green wood avenue crossing under certain con- ditions. MT Tweedy and Colonel Ives raised question about the jurisdiction of the board in the matter. They maintained that the petition called for the abandonment of a railroad. They said that it would be necessary for the power which gave authority to construct the roads to give authority for the discontinuar Colonel Ives handed in a list of authorities in SUD- port of the position. MT Spock said that the committee was ready to take the matter before the supreme court. Chairman F. P. French of the board of trade of Bethel objected to the abandonment of the road, because the town had given S6,0OO and the road brought in trade. Others present ob- iected to the abandonment. As The Bee understands it Attorney Spock for the railroad company agreed to aban- don all the grade crossings on the New town end of the line, save the crossing near Selectman s. A. Blackman's res Idence.
