FAvORs COMPUTATION.
Regular Patron of Trolley Lines
 Wants Reduced Rates.

To the Editor of Journal-Courier:
 In the account of the proceedings of the aldermanic board at their meeting on the 14th inst, the writer noticed a petition introduced by Mir Walter Leigh, asking for a reduction in trolley fares in this city. It would certainly seem that regular patrons of the trolley road, who ride often enough to make 1t an object for them to purchase tick cts in amounts of twenty five or more at a discount, should be allowed to do SO
 Upon inquiry the writer learns that in cities where the ticket system as proposed here Is in force. the trolley causes. such as loss of book by pur- chasers. tickets purchased but not used. etc, they figure that they receive five cents for every passenger carried.
 This would seem reasonable. and talk ing this with the increased amount of travel, which experience has proven in railroad fares. would not the slight reduction asked for be good business proposition for the road, and a benef1t to its stockholders. as well as to its patrons?
 Let us hope that the aldermanie com mittee to which the matter was re- ferred. as well as the trolley officials. will view the proposition in all its lights before a decision is reached.

NOW AFTER MAYOR
Police Commissioner Sullivan's S Retort to Charges of Mir.
 Martin.
SIGNED SALOON LICENSE
It is Alleged That His Honor Vio' lated the Charter in
 So Doing.

To add to the activities. 1t Is said that az s rstort to the charges Mayor Martin has made against Police Com missioner Sullivan, he, the commissioner is reported as saying that the wants tc show that Mayor Martin signed his name to the license application o' Thomas E. cahill. who keeps a place al IA Dixwell avenue.
 The contention is that the mayor under the charter, is member of the board of police commissioners, ex-of' icio, and therefore has no right to sign an application for liquor license
 It was found that MT. Cahills license was signed on october II. 1907. as fol. lows. (Signed) Joseph W. Pohlman 342 Norton street; James B Martin. 5I Lake place; Nicholas Scanlon. isl Mansfield street; w E. Roberts, l5ss Chapel street, and Henry Donovan, IS! Ivy street. At the county commis. sioners' office it was stated that the IT, cense had been granted.

 Home.

 The detectives found the girl halt starved and frightened almost to death Since the arrest of Bogue. as his right name is, she made no attempt to es- cape and seemed glad to be taken to the organized charities to wait for a hearing before the city court
 The girl denies that she is married to Bogue. as he claimed. She says that she came here from New Lon don with him several months ago. Be fore she met him in New London she lived in the country village of Salem with her uncle, her parents having died when she was very young.
 Bogue, who was found with the girl was arrested for the theft of brass and wire from the railroad. along with an accomplice. Louis H Downes. Downes is also charged with robbing the home of Harris Weiner of 121 Lafayette street last July.
 As the girl is young and without parents she will probably be committed to some home, in the city court this morning.

TELEPHONE SESSION Annual Meeting to be Held Here on the Afternoon of
 January 2S.
MAY ISSUE MORE STOCK
Proposal Up to Authorize Remainder of Capital, or Two Million
 Dollars.

The Southern New England Tele- phone company has issued to its stock holders, notices of the annual meeting which has been called for January 2S, at o'clock in the headquarters in this city. The call reads as follows:
 The annual meeting of the stockhold- CTS of the Southern New England Tele- phone company will be held at the of- fee of the company, room 2O4, Tele- phone building, New Haven. Conn, on Tuesday, January 18th. 1908, at p. m, to elect directors and to do any other business properly before said meeting, and especially to act upon two propos- itions
 O That the directors shall be and are authorized to issue, at not less than par, the remainder of the capital stock of the company in amount two millions of dollars, for the purpose of the extension and development of the business of the company. from time to time, and in such amounts, and in such manner and on such terms. as will in their judgment best promote the in- terests of the company.
 @ That section 2 of the bylaws oi the company. concerning executive of ficers shall be amended so as to read as follows:
 The officers of this corporation shall be a president, such number of vice. presidents as the board of directors from time to time may prescribe, a sec retary, treasurer, a general manager and an executive committee. The du- ties of the presidents and the ex- ecutlve committee shall be determined by the directors of the corporation.'
 Since the issue of stock must be ap- proved by a vote of two-thirds of all the stock outstanding, and since there are always so many stockholders who are unable to attend, or even to send proxies, it is very essential that every stockholder who can. should either at tend in person or sign and return the enclosed proxy.
 During the current fiscal year it is expected that only small proportion Of this stock will need to be issued, but the growth of the company will probably require it's entire issue with in three years. and it is deemed wise to confer power of issue Of the whole up on the directors at this time. The operations of the company are now so extensive that there shoud be power to appoint more thon one vice. president whenever deemed necessary, and the standing executive committee should be made more permanent and i effective by bylaw on the subject.
 By order of the board of directors,
 JAMES ENGLISH, Eice-President.
