Citizens Want a Change in Government

this example by engaging In noisy con
troversies. II IL a logical sequence that
the present form OF government
should gradually be somewhat under
mined.
Many substantial citizens and large
taxpayers are convinced that q one
headed government would work more
smoothly and satisfactorily. This is
no new conviction on their part. II
has been emphasized in recent exht
billions OF division In the present tri.
umyirate. II is true. but the advisable.
ity Of concentrated authority has ap-
pealed to them for years.
These citizens, however. who hon
estly believe In the wisdom OF a
change for the public good see great
danger In going before congress and
asking for a change at this time. II
by simple act one commissioner or
governor could be substituted for the
triumvirate they would urge II earn
estly and heartily. But they fear the
proposition would mean the opening
up OF the whole question OF the rela'
tioHs between the district and federal
government. with a possible alteration
OF the organic act and perehance the
granting of unrestricted suffrage.

A SUITABLE SEED BED.
Prof. Thomas Shaw Tells How to Pre-.
pare Such.

The importance Of a good seed bed
cannot be easily oyerestimated. II the
seed bed is not suitable for receiving
the seed when II is sown. growth Will
be handicapped right at the start. and
when young plants do not start well,
only the most favorable weather con.
ditions can result In a good crop.
When clay lands have been plowed
In the autumn. they should not be
stirred In the spring until they have
dried out so much that they will not
pack when cultivated or narrowed. To
stir them at an earlier period would
mean that they would soon become SO
cloddy that the young plants could
make no Roadway. Even though walt
ing should mean late sowing. those
lands should not be stirred until they
are dry.
On the other hand. certain sandy
soils and also soils of the prairie will
dry more quickly IL they are stirred
even before they are dry enough "a
SOW. To stir them up with the cultiya
tor or harrow will put them in con
dition for being sown earlier than
would otherwise be practicable. as
early sown cereal crops are usually
the best. the advantage thus obtained
by advancing the sowing two or three
days may be material.
When clay lands are plowed In the
spring, II will be fatal TO the crop for
the season n they are plowed while
possessed OF too much water In the
soil. When they dry the clods will
be bricklike In their tendency. But
though such lands should be a little
underdry when plowed. II they freeze
more or less for several nights In sec
cession they will be brought To q
crumbling consistency.

western states may be sown In many

IS A LILLEY FAKE. Story That Robertson Would Appoint Thrasher State Police Chief.

New Haven, Nov 2.--Judge A. Heaton Robertson, democratic nomi- neer for governor. last night denied the story which appeared in Lilley paper yesterday to the effect that, if elected, he would appoint Samuel Thrasher, former president of the Law and Order league. chief of the state police. The article in ques- tion. said. after half column of personal attack on Mir Thrasher:
 For the past two weeks Thrasher has been having almost daily confer ences with Robertson in the New Ha- ven Water Go offices on Crown street and at other places In New Haven"
 Judge Robertson said last night that he had not seen Mir Thrasher in over six months, so that the para graph in the article referring to meetings here are plainly false, and the rest of the article is emphatically denied. Judge Robertson said
 "The only campaign promise have made, or even implied, is that l will give the people of Connecticut a square, fearless administration, If elected. have never even discussed my candidacy with MT Thrasher, not having seen him since 1 was nomi- nated,"

GATE MONEY sErzED.
Local Isssc Ball PIsycr Gvnba the Share Coming to the Association.

I
 Share Coming to the Association.
 One incident took place ont at Rockville yesterday that was not down on the regular programme. Frank Fitzpatrick, the second base- man of the Waterbury base ball team was the heavy man In the scene. while Eddie Simons and Ted Sullivan essayed the comedy roles. with Eddy Farley in the background, ready to take hand If necessary. While Simons and Sullivan were counting up the football shekels that had been I taken in at the gate. Frank Fitzpat- rick entered the box office, closely followed by Eddie Farley. A bundle of the long green had just been counted up and Fitzy at once placel his hand on 1t, scooped 1t up and dropped 1t into his pocket The ac- tion surprised the ticket seller, and Sullivan, who had been measuring up the silver, placed a guard around 1t. as he saw Farley had his eye in that direction. Fitzy then explained that Manager Durant had agreed to mee: him out there yesterday and settle in part, something in the neighbor- hood of $500, which he said was owed him for back salary. It was explained to Fitzpatrick that not all of the bundle he had copped be- longed to the base ball association. When the amount that was coming to the association was told him he at once counted out the balance in his possession and gave receipt for something like $49.50, which would have gone into the coffers of the base ball corporation. Farley claims, too, that he is owed in the neighborhood of $500, and he said that Manager Durant had promised to meet him at the grounds and make some sort of settlement Both assert that there is more money due and that it will be hard for the local management to hold many players to their contracts for next year.
 Apropos of the above, the Water bury base ball franchise is reported as advertised for sale in one of The leading sporting papers of the coun- try. Several local parties wanted the franchise and made bid for it and offered, it is said, something like $S,- 900 for a clear title to everything. It is alleged that Manager Durant wanted $14,000 from this syndicate, but those comprising 1t could not see it that way and negotiations came to an end. Several of the players havs threatened now to place attachments upon all property that can be found in the name of the Waterbury base ball association

YALE FIELD SCRAP. Chief Cowles Expresses His Indigna tion Over the Affair.

New Haven, Nov 2.-Members of the New Haven police department are very much wrought up over the affair at Yale field Saturday when Sergeant French of the West Haven police force, 1t is claimed, rushed up to Supernumerary Policeman Keane who was on duty at the front gate, told him he was impersonating an officer and tore his badge from his coat. Thinking that the protection afforded by the West Haven force was not sufficient, the Yale manage ment asked Chief Cowles for po- liceman. Keane was detailed and was on duty outside the gate. No horses or automobiles were allowed near this gate and when Selectman Walter Main and Sergeant French of West Haven drove up to the gate, Keane told them they were not al- lowed to do so and then witnesses allege they called him names and took his badge from him:
