DOUGLAS FOR CHAIRMAN
Reported That Democrats Will Select
 X-GOyernOr

Boston, July 21.-There was a report current in political circles tonight that the chairmanship of the democratic na- tional committee had been offered to former Governor Douglass. Despite the persistency of the rumors those closest to MT. Douglass profess ignorance of the matter. Those who gave credence to the story generally expressed doubt ttat the suggested chairman would ac- cept such proffer. Tho opinion was based upon Mir Douglass well under- stood disinclnation to again enter ac- lively in politics.
 Farvlew, Lincoln, Neb, July 21.- i It now seems almost certain that the new chairman of the democratic na- tional committee will be former Gov ernor William l.. Douglass of Massa- chusetts, The fact that he Is being much sought after to take the place 1 became known here to-day following 1 the departure of George Fred Will | Hams, who conferred last night with 1 Mir. Bryan after coming direct from i Massachusetts. It was not generally known here that Mir, Williams had returned east from the Denver con- vention It is presumed that he con- ferred with Governor Douglas about the matter at the request of MT. Bryan while in the east.

CUPID OBSYRUC7ED
But Love Finds Way After an Afternoon of Trying Cir
 cumstances.
LICENSE WAS NOT RIGHT
Boy and Girl from Wilbraham Get Parents Consent Here by Long
 Distance Telephone.

On the quest for happiness via the matrimonial road Charles Bliss Hitch cock, youth of nineteen years. and Ethel S. Bodurtha. aged eighteen. both of Wilbraham, Mass. appeared at the office of the registrar of vital statistics just before closing time yes- terdav afternoon and asked for a license for their marriage, The young man stated that after a search that had lasted the best part of the after noon for a minister who was at home they had found the Rev Mir. Moss man of the City Mission, but when they produced the marriage license which was issued In due form for them in Massachusetts he had told them that 1t was no good here. They asked MT. Buckley, who was in charge of the office at the time of their arrival to give them license that would be good here.
 Then they met another obstacle. When Mir. Buckley asked their ages 1 he found that each was under age and told them that they could not get a license except with the consent of | their parents. It was evident from the license they secured in their home town that there had been no opposl- ton on the part of the parents, but that was of no use here. But 1t ap- peared that the parents of each party i had telephone at their home and Mir. Buckley succeeded. in getting into communication with each and getting the necessary consent by long dist. ance telephone. So the license was issued and the Rev. MT. Mossmar made them man and wife after which they left for short tour before re. turning home.
 Both were apparently children O prosperous families. The bride was { very pretty young lady and the groom looked to be considerably more thar the nineteen yearShe confessed to, appears that he has considerable property In his own right in Wilbra ham, where they will make thel home.
 l It was learned that their reason fo coming to this city to he married wa. because of illness in the brides fami ly, which made 1t necessary to giv, over the idea of having wedding O any size at home and they though best, therefore to be married ava. from home.

Fire Commissioners 10 Ask for One in
 Estimates.

Istli1ntcS.
 Tn board of fire commissioners met again last night and considered again for considerable time the estimates of the department which are due to go to the board of finance next month. Among the estimates will almost Gn- doubtedly be a request for sufficient money for the purchase for the chief Of an automobile to take the place of the present carriage in which he at tends fires. The auto has become quite fixture in many cities hereabouts in- cluding a number such ps Bridgeport, Springfield and Hartford which are smaller than New Haven and the com- Imissioners feel that the needs of the chief are such that he should have a car such as this to do his work in.
 Chief Fancher is now being made the recipient of a demonstration of Knox car for the purpose and for the pur- chase of such a car as this the fire commissioners will probably make q request. The car is capable of mak- ing 55 miles an hour which Is cer- tainly as much as will ever be need ed in attending fires in a city, Tho chief has attended two still alarms In the ear and is waiting for a bell tC 1 test 1t out.
 The only matter extraneous to the es- inmates which was taken up last night was the petition of Lieutenant Hurley for leave of absence which was re- ferred to the chief with power to act

REAL RAIN AT LAST
Unsuspecting Public Caught in Heavy Deluge Last 4
 Night.
DROUGHT REALLY BROKEN
Crops and Grass Get the Long-Dc- Iaycd, Badly Needed, Pour- ing Rain.

To the surprise and incidental dis comfture of most New Haveners it rained last night. It used to rain in New Haven before but not of late. In fact 1t was entered on the local calendar as lost art But 1t rained last night. Even the most weather beaten custom CT could not deny the fact. Nobody slept on the Green last night because 1t rained. It was not sky drizzle nor half-hearted hesitant sprinkle that looked like the passing of a street wa- tering cart. No 1t was real rain. Rain such as the country side and the far mers thereof have been desiring and praying for and bad wording about for several weeks past. It was the best | rain since Decoration day and though 1t did not have to rain very hard to win that title it seemed to think 1t did by the efforts it put forth. It rained.
 When the clouds began to roll over the city last night and threaten to make good the weather report people bethought them of the evening of July 4th and impudently laughed in the open. They did even more foolish things. Some of them went out with out umbrellas and got caught good ways off their base. Others added the i iimpudence of straw hat, good one in several cases that might be men l toned but will not. Even the half hearted weather man that said we would have showers must have taken courage when he saw what he had done and perhaps next time he will say Rain" and boldly believe it, too. Ev- cry one was willing to agree that 1t rained last night.
 The storm started before o'clock and kept up In the true old fashioned style that Is known in the country as pouring. It kept up all night and it is even quite likely to continue for the day now that It has awakened to it's power. It is one of the best things for the crops and for the parched sun burned grass and the country side and even for humanity yea even that part of it that went out without umbrella and with straw hat last night The drought apears to be broken. With the farmers we with all say May it long stay broke"
 The storm played havoc with a great many cellars setting back and flooding them.

REDUCTION OF SENTENCE FOR MEACHAM Judge MatheVSon Takes Eight Months off Term Partly
 Out Of COnSidera. ton For His
 Family. SERVING TIME NOW IN JAIL Judge Did Not Think Former Sentence Too Heavy, But Also Saved Expense
 to State of an
 Appeal.
SERVING TIME NOW IN JAIL

James Meacham, the trolley car cone ductor who was recently found guilty in the city court of embezzlement, through his failure to register fares. and sentenced to Jail for twenty months has had his sentence reduced to one year in jail and has begun to serve his time. Soon after his een- tence, friends of Meacham in Spring. field interested themselves in his behalf and through his counsel, John R. Booth a motion for a reopening of the case for argument on the question of pen- alty was granted by Judge Mathewson. Upon said rehearing the interest of Meacham and his family. were fully presented. as were also the interests of the state.
 At the conclusion of the argument, Judge Mathewson said that he was fully convinced of the guilt of the ac- cused and that the sentence imposed was not excessive and should stand ir- respective of any other consideration if 1t was the intention of the accused to take an appeal and attempt to test the matter further in the courts. There- upon Attorney Booth explained to Judge Mathewson that the object of the reargument was simply to present considerations for a Tightening of tho sentence in behalf of Meacham and his family and that should the court see It's way clear to be a little more leni- ent. that no appeal would be taken and that Meacham would abide by tho courts decision. 1 In view of this statement Judge ! Mathewson said that he regarded thls form of offering as one of the, very worst of It's kind and one which should be severely punished and he felt that the punishment of twenty months in jail was none too long. not only in view of the character of the crime, but be- cause 1t belonged to that class of cas- es which 1t was extremely difficult to

ADMIRES GOV. WOODRUFF
Would Not Enter Into Contest With Present Chief Exccutivc-De- nics That He Is in Ill.,
 Health.
Special to the Journal-couricr.)

Bridgeport, July 2i.--Senator Archl- bald McNeil will become candidate for the gubernatorial nomination on the democratic ticket If by August 1. it Is apparent that George l.. Lillcy of Wa torbury has the republican nomination safely slowed away. This Is the state ment of one of NIT. McNell's closest friends, and one who has taken an ac- tive part In managing all his cam paiens in the past,
 Mir. McNeil has been urged to become a candidate for the nomination, but up 10 the present time has given no decid- ed answer. He has promised to say on August whether or not he Will enter the race, and meanwhile Is closely watching republican developments.
 To reporter for The Journal Courier Mr. McNeil said that he would not like to run against Governor Woodruff were the latter chosen for q second term. He said that Governor Woodruff is easily the strongest man the repub- llcans could put up, and that 1t would ! be almost impossible to defeat him. MT. McNeil said that he was great ad- | mirer of Governor Woodruff, and of | what he had done for Connecticut.
 With Mir Lilley 1t was different. Mir. | McNeil said that he did not believe Mir. 1 Lilley would be strong candidate, and that. if other objections could be set aside, he would feel confident in making a contest against him.
 Mir. McNeil said that he wished to correct one impression which may have come over people from reading the state papers. That was that MT. Me- Nei's health would not permit him to enter contest for the governorshlp. He said that he had not felt as we'll for 15 years as he does today, and every day Is feeling better
 Strangely enough the republicans of Bridgeport are In perfect harmony with Mir. McNeil on two points, These are. That Mr Woodruff is the strongesl man the republicans could put up for the office and second, that MT. Lilley
 s one of the weakest And there arc many of them who believe that if Mir McNeil should run against Mr. Lilley he would defeat him.

Russians Concur With French Re

St. Petersburg. July 2l.-The official plans for the reception of President Falleres at Reval follow the general lines of those adopted at the meeting between King Edward and Emperor Nicholas.
 Russian official circles fully concur in the French declarations of the great significance of the French presidents visit, as tending to strengthen the en- tente between Great Britain, Russia and France, which would serve to fur ther guarantee the worlds peace
 The quieter tone of the German press comments concerning President Fallieres Is causing satisfaction here.
