Wake me early, mother darling,
When the east is growing gray,
For I'm to be queen of the May, mo-
Their,
I'm to be queen of the May.
Put the alarm clock close beside you
To announce the break Of dawn.
For must rustic out, mother,
And get my glad rags on.
Wake me early, mother darling,
For I've business to be at,
For I'm to be queen Of the May,
mother,

The pass word for the month will
be, "What' the score?" Book INSTALL
ments will be paid on the LIST. Gas
meters will run slower, and presid ent
ial candidates will run faster. Pride
which has been going before fall
will go behind a go-cart. Straw
berry measures will be:
Twelve quarts make crate,
One pint makes a quart,
Top berries make a sale,
Nobody makes kick.
Mr.. Taft will appear at Chicago,
and engage quarters in the garage for
Que 40 horse power elephant, and one
30 horse power Teddy Bear. Mr..
Bryan will start for Denver in a 1-mule
power runabout. Congress will ad-
journ about the 18th, and the men,

The watchfnl tabbycat will get
The helpless little flicker,
And the prohibitionists will set
A few more traps for liquor.
The sun will rise at six o'clock an d

June bride will contemplate the near
approach of Heaven. The breath of
May will bring the fern, the rose and
buttercup, and the farmers wife will
milk and churn before the men get
up. The boys will skin the slippery
elm with Jimmie's barlow knife, and
the ice man will be out to skin the in

sound richer bass from rivers and
ravines, and man will tone his system

Begin to correspond
With some bucolic country place
OF which his wife is fond.
The host will promise country fare.

For seven tons of prunes.
The graduate will choose theme

The thrasher will descant at eve
Upon the passing day.,
The festive colt will fill his tum
With prophylactic hay;
The chicken-hawks will pounce upon
The fat buff-cochin fries,
And the horse will whirl his tail. piece

THREE MORE CASES
Pending Against E. U. Laihrop
 in Superior Court.

Edwin U. LathrOp yesterday lost one of the many cases in which he has from time to time appeared as de- fendant. In this case he lost to his son Harry and his two daughters, Mrs c. NJ. DeMott and Mrs Baker. Some time ago they sued him tG re- cover some 5000 with interest which they claimed belonged to the estate of their mother Esther Lathrop, MT Lathrop's first wife. This sum they alleged he used for his own purposes without any legal authority to do so. He claimed he was administrator of his wife's estate and used the money in settling up the estate. Mrs Lathrop died some twenty years ago and the amount with interest is now about $7,O00. Judge Roraback in the su- perior court in New Haven yesterday handed down this decision but allowed the amount to be decided by counsel. Attorney Root appeared for the plain tiffs and Colonel Burpee for the de- fendant. An, appeal will undoubtedly be taken to the supreme court There are three or four cases more still pending against MT Lathrop.
 Attorney John O'Neill has two cases against him for counsel fees for his wife in the suit for support and the suit for divorce, which she was grant ed some time ago, and there is also a suit for doctors bills and attendance. upon Mrs Lathrop.

SUPPORT FOR LABOR LAWS.
Speaker and Vice President In Favor of Proposed Legislation.

Washington, March 20.-Encouraged by the favorable attitude of Speaker Cannon and Vice President Fairbanks on the proposed labor laws" the union leaders here and throughout the country are preparing to make vigor- ous onslaught on congress for favora ble legislation. Their main object at present is the passage of an employ CTS liability law without the features that have recently been declared un- constitutional by the supreme court.
 Mir. Cannon and MT. Fairbanks have announced their belief that the present congress will pass an employers liabil- ity act which will meet and overcome the unconstitutionalities of the present law pointed out by the supreme court of the United States in recent de- cision
 These statements were made unre- servedly by Speaker Cannon and guardedly by the vice president to a delegation, led by Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, from elghty-seven national and international trade and labor un- ions and organizations of farmers as- sembled in national conference in this city. The delegation called on the speaker to lay before the house of rep. resentatives through him memorial entitled "Labor's'protest to congress-"
 The opening paragraph of the memo rial declares:
 "We, the official representative of the national and international trade and labor unions and organization of farmers, in national conference assem- bled in the District of Columbia for the purpose of considering and taking action deemed necessary to meet the situation in which the working people of our country are placed by recent decisions of the courts, now appear be- fore congress to voice the earnest and emphatic protest of the workers of the country against the indifference, if not actual hostility, which congress has shown toward the reasonable and righteous measures proposed by the workers for the safeguarding of their rights and interests"

MAY IMPEACH JACKSON.
Hughes Ready to Hear Charges Against State Attorney General.


 Against State Attorney General.
 Albany, x. Y., March 20.--Revela- tions in New York affecting his rela- tions with one of the receivers of the Hamilton bank appointed by him made the case of Attorney General Jackson most sensational, and the opinion was general here that at its meeting next Tuesday the senate judiciary commit tee will fayorably report the Saxe res olution for an investigation of the at- torney generals office and that quickly following that action vigorous proceed ings against Mir. Jackson will be instl- tuted.
 It is assumed that the joint commit tee of eight provided for by the Sake resolution will begin it's task immedi- ately after its appointment and pro- ceed to the end independent of the ad. iournment of the legislature. Should the committee find against the attor- ney general it's report would be dealt with wholly by the senate. Thus in the not impossible event of a recom- mendation by Governor Hughes for the removal of Attorney General Jack son the governor would convene a spe- cial session of the senate to try the case.
 Governor Hughes discussed freely with visitors some of the accusations against the attorney general that have been published and intimated plainly his willingness to act should charges of a serious character be developed and preferred. He explained the deli caey of his situation fin view of the fact that the attorney general is the head of coordinate branch of the executive department of the state gov ernment. but he pointed out that his duty was clearly defined in the stat- utes and that he would unhesltatingly discharge it should circumstances re- quire him to exercise his authority.

MAN FOUND DEAD
Registered al H0iel Heinie as
 A. D. Deery.

A man who registered under the name of A. D. Deery called at the Hotel Heinie, 223 Bank street, Henry Hellmann, proprietor, last night, and asked to be given room for the night He was accompanied by man who went away after MT Deery had been assured of accom- modation. This was about l2:l5 D o'clock. The man was assignee to room 6, third floor, and nothing more was thought of the incident until shortly after 9 o'clock this morning when a chamber mad opened the door, which was slightly ajar, and found the place filled with fumes of gas and noticed the man lying ill bed. She notified parties down stairs and after an unsuccess- ful attempt to wake him up MT Hellmann notified Superintendent Beach of the police department, who sent Detective Kennaug4 out or the case. Medical Examiner Crane was also called and found the man dead and after inquiring into the facts turned the body over to Undertaken Laraviere.
 The dead man was apparently be- tween 50 and 60 years of age, Of medium height, his hair and nous tache being tinged with gray. He wore black bow tie, turned down collar, mixed gray vest, trousers and coat. He had $39.93 in his pockets and railroad ticket from Water bury to Towantic, also a small note book in which was written list of several articles of merchandise such as sugar, onions and so forth. The writing was in french and Eng..sn. It is believed that he was wood- chopper from Towantic who has been in the habit of making trips into Waterbury on and off fer years and got left for the train cut of towa last night and put up for the night at the Heinie. The gas jet was turned on this morning., but owing to the presence of vent lator in the room much of the fumes escaped, so that it is thought the man was not long dead when the chamber maid got around to do her work. It IS believed that he blew out the gas instead of turning it off.

TOO MUCH LIKE CAESAR.
Fearing His Power, Roosevelt Wont
 Run, Says Colonel Harvey.

In Illustrating his Bromley founda- tion lecture on journalism at Yale uni versity the other day Colonel George , Harvey, editor of Harper's Weekly, made use of his ideal of a newspaper, which he called the Bromley Morning News. On the front page appeared an article attributed to '0ur special cor respondent at Washington" purporting to tell the fundamental reason why President Roosevelt would not accept renominatioa and reelection. An ex- tract from it said:
 ''The presidents most poignant re- gret is that circumstances render it im- possible for him as a patriot to make the fight. In reaching this definite and final conclusion he was influenced doubtless to some degree by the fact of his announcement that he would not accept a renomlBation and by his sense of personal loyalty to Secretary Taft. But the chief consideration was one that has not hitherto been guessed. Mir. Roosevelt is q student of history, and especially the history of the lives of great men whose careers have made serious impress upon the political for tunes of their countries. The one vital lesson that he has drawn from his term in the present peculiar condition of the public mind would endanger the republic.
 He feels that temperamentelly he striklngly resembles Augustus Caesar. He fully appreciates that his impulse is as strong as was that of the Roman emperor to seize all the power he can get in order to accomplish quickly any laudable purpose in the interest of the public. Indeed. experience has con vinced Mir. RooseveIt's judgment that this tendency within himself to absorb authority for the performance of good is irresistible.
 Moreover. he feels certain that his triumphant reelection by an over whelming majority would arouse in the minds of the people positive insist ence that he remove all obstacles to the carrying out of their will as inter- preted by him. With characteristic precedence he foresees possible situa- ton which could be resolved only by the acquisition of complete and undL vided personal authority even less gradually than 1t was obtained by his prototype in character and tempera- nent. the Roman emperor tO whom he referred On patriotic grounds. there fore. as a lover of free institutions and from an earnest desire to perpetuate the great republic In substantially it's original form be would not under any conceivable circumstances accept a re- nomination from either or both of the great political partieSl-

LABOR ON STREETS
BIakeslee < Sons Lowest Bid.
 ders and May Get the Job.

The committee appointed to consid- CT the contract labor matter held an- other meeting yesterday atefrnoon in the mayors office. Edward McManus who said he came at the suggestion of MT Ki!duff, appeared and offered to superintend the grading of Water vile and Homer strets for ten per cent of he lowest bid, which would be q trifle over 5000. This would in- clude enjoyment, local labor and a bond for the faithful performance of his duties and saving the city harm less from any damage that might occur during the progress of the work. The mayor presided at the meeting and after going over the matter very thoroughly three members of the con- mittee believed it for the best inter- est of tn city to let the contract to C. w. Blakeslee & Sons of New Haven and one held to the opinion that it was for the best interest of the city to do the job by the day, contin- ing the work to residents of Water- bury. The majority representation of the committee will make recom mendation to that effect to the depart ment of public works. The minority will submit no report, but he does in- tend to state the reasons why he was not able to agree with the other mem- bers of the committee.
 There was no animated discussion at either meeting and nobody was misled Or experienced a change of heart on account of the misstatement that the street department is in position to employ 800 men if the superintendent wants to.
