CANALS ON MARS
Professor Lowell Sends Word OF His
Recent Discovery to Boston.

BOSTON Special.-Three new ca
nails have been discovered on the planet
Mars by Prof Lowell at his Arizona
observatory. The announcement came
through Mrs. David Todd, wife OF the
authority ON Mars. and herself an as
tronomer of national reputation. rms
announcement Of new signs OF activity
by the Nartians is a direct ccntradlc-
ton 10 the recent report among as
tronomers that disturbances on the
planet showed that all life there, II
there were any. had been destroyed IN
a great catastrophe
The announcement OF Mrs. Todd Is
borne out by discoveries made at the
observatory at Juvisy by Camille Flam-
marion, who, instead OF finding signs
of destruction IN the recent upbeaval
on Mars. found signs OF new activity
the construction of some great new
work up there.

BOYCE'S BAIL IS
 REDUCED TO $5,OOO
FBonds Taken by Executor of Brothers Estate Valued
 at $7. $40.

William G. Boyce, who was arrested June 23, in Ossining. N. F., by Detec- tive Cronan of the local detective bureau. on the. charge of embezzle- ment, and whose case was continued In the city court, a week ago. was arraigned this morning His counsel. Judge Edward K- Nicholson, entered a demurrer which was overruled and the accused was bound over to the next term of the Superior court, Under 5000 bonds. which were reduced from $11 900.
 When Albert Boyce died in 1906, he named William G. Boyce, his brother. his executor. William Boyce made a partial accounting of the estate and turned over to the widow of Albert Boyce all the money found in the saw ings banks, but decided to appropriate to his own use 100 shares of the U. s. Steel Go. He left this city and for a while lived in Brooklyn and went from there to Yonkers, N. Y. He carried away with him 15O shares of U. s. Steel, common, worth $1,6S7.50; 100 shares of U. S. Steel. preferred, having a value of g, ,7725 50, and two certificates of the Chicago Terminal Transfer Co. each worth 1,687.50. The total valua- tion of the bonds he took was $7.46O, but the value is probably twice that amount to-day. He is held on two counts. that of the embezzlement of the bonds and that of his failure to make a. proper inventory of the estate to the court.

WALL STREET TO-DAY,
Especial from United Press.)

New York, June 29.-There was moderate activity in the dealings in the stock market and a generally firm tone prevailed. Reading opened up fair but receded. Rock Island gained A. The Hartman issues were frac- tionally higher. In the metal group United States Steel advanced E and Colorado Fuel F. Reading, after it's reaction, was well bought. Although not without some irregularity after the first fifteen minutes of trading, the undertone remained generally strong.
 II a. m.-Although the market was to a great extent of an enforced holi- day character the tone during the first hour was generally strong and where any price movements occurred they were mostly to moderately higher levels. Reading rose to above 157 but later lost all it's early gain. The liar riman stocks made fractional gains and the Industrials generally shared in l general advance. Peterborough was the weak feature.
 Government bonds unchanged; other ponds strong.
 Noon.-The market, while extremely 1ull, showed a strong tone in nearly all stocks with advances wherever .here was any display of activity. Copper on some cover ng of shorts advanced a point, selling tt S2 and there was persistent buying If the Rock Island issues and a num- per of important raiNoad stocks.

No Indictment Yet
 Against Sugar Trust
Special from United Press)


 New York. June -29.-With the failure of Federal Grand Jury to file any in dictment in the investigation of the American Sugar Refining Company and the departure of United States District Attorney Wise for Europe this morning. it is generally con- ceded that probabilities of criminal action against the Sugar Trust are slight. at least until the return of Attorney Wise in August. Up to the time of the attorneys departure for Paris, where he goes to take deposi- tions in the Panama libel suit, it was considered possible that the men high CT up'' in the Sugar Trust would be indicted in connection with the closing of the plant of the Pennsylvania Sugar Refining Company through loan which gave the Trust control of the concern.
 No one connected with the district attorneys office would discuss the fail ure to file indictments. The Federal Grand Jury has not yet made it's re- port to this court and it is possible secret action has been taken.

SENATE WOULD NOT AUTHORIZE HORDE
 OF PLACEMEN
Amendment Giving Ap- pointment of Commission CT, Deputy Commissioner and Routine of Underlings Turned Down.
(By our Staff Correspondent.)


 Hartford, June 29.-The Senate re- jected an amendment to the proposed automobile law which would give to the Governor the power to name a commissioner and deputy commission CT, who in turn would have power to appoint a retinue of suhordinates to have charge of tn eautomobile inter eStS of the State. In the bill as drafted by the committee provision is made for the appointment of a dep uty commissioner. The appointment to be made by Secretary of State, Col. Matthew H. Rogers of Bridgeport, and the deputy to be under the super vision of the Secretary's office.
 Politicians about the capitol thought they saw a chance to make some nice berths for themselves and friends and tried to amend the bill, but the Sen ate, by an overwhelming vote, reject ed the amendment. The House today insisted upon it's former action in the matter of amending the automobile bill with the result that a committee of conference has been named by both branches to see if a bill satisfactory to both houses can be agreed upon.

MILFORD HAT COMPANY
 IS SUED FOR $26,OOO
Plaintiffs Claim to Have Sustained Loss of $ the Result of the Strike Allege that Defendants Entered Into Agreement to Pay $25OOO

The Associated Hat Manufacturers
 Tn organization which comprises most
 of the largest felt hat manufactures in
 the country, many of which are sit
 uated in Danbury and South Norwalk,
 have added another large hat concern
 to their already long list of defend
 ants in suits brought, continuation of
 the recent hat strike.
 The New Milford Hat Go. in this case
 is sued for $26,000 which covers their Liquidation fee as member of the as-
 sociation and the amount of their bond to live up to the agreement of the by laws of the association. The defend ant company was one of the many concerns which were pressed with or ders and which conceded to the de- mands of the strikers that they use the union label. To compel the use of the label was one of the principal ob- | jects for which the strikers were fight | ing. The company is sued as a mem
 Der of the association. The papers in the case state the cause of suit as fol-
 lows:
 among other things is to further the
 interests Of those engaged in the man. Ufacturfng of hats, to secure freedom
 from unjust exactions. and to promote uniformity and certainty in the rela-
 fions existing between employer and
 employees, ana in all lawful ways to protect the business interests of its members. According to the bylaws all orders and regulations of the aSso- cdatfon shall be obligatory and shall be, compiled with in good faith by every member of the association. In order to insure compliance with the members agreed to pay to the associa- ton the sum of $5000 as liquidating damages for the violation of any of the resolutions.
 n, Ton 1I 1ooo at a reo,,Ior r,oatipy of the association resolutions were adopted in regard to the closing of the Guyer Hat Co. in Philadelphia, which was contrary to the working agree ments between the two associations which were adopted July 31, 1907. The meeting decided that in case any agreement could not be settled between the two associations, such disagree tration committee to be composed of the same number of manufacturers and journeymen. Each of these bodies to choose an outside party, and these two q third. That the decision of such | committee shall be final and binding.
 The United Hatters of N. A. agreed that in the future when trouble exist l ed between the manufacturers and their employees, that the label would | not be removed until due notice is | given the officers of the Hat Associa- ton, ten days to be considered due no tdce. This contract was lived up to 190os when they violated and preached che same. That the use of the union label be discontinued in every factory E of every member of the association. one hpur subsequent to the passage of thie resolution, unless during the said period of one hour the association re- cedyes official notice that the label will be restored to and the men immed- lately placed back to work in the Guyer factory under the conditions ex- lsting at the time of the withdrawal of the label and the men.
