 BUSY AT CAPITOL
Base of Hope of Preventing

(By Our Stan Corredpondent.)
 Hartford. July 13.-The electric light lobby was very busy about the capitol to-day. While the lobby admits that the obnoxious law for which 1t is con- tenolng will be overwhelmingly as- sailed in the House they profess grcat nope that the Senate will protect them in their monopoly. The substitute bill which is being framed by Senator Latlmer is promised to make an ap- pearance tomorrow. The activity Of the State Business Mems Association in behalf of the appeal is having good effect, and those who are lighting Tor the rights of the people against 2 selhsh and unscrupulous combination Of corporate monopoly are hopeful of ultimate victory.

BRYAN AND TAFT
Urges President to Submit Amendment for Election of Senators by Direct Vote.

Lincoln. Neb.. July 13.-If President Taft will submit to Congress an amendment to the constitution provid- Ing for the election of Senators by di- rect vote SO the States may vote on 1t when they vote on the amendment ratifying an income tax, William J. Bryan will pledge himself to support it. Bryan today issued an open letter to the President suggesting such an amendment and declaring he person. ally will do everything possible to help pass it and make Taft's administration a memorable one. The letter was:
 ITO President Taft-Now that the States are going to vote on the ratifi- cation of the amendment specifically authorizing an income tax, why not give them a chance to vote on an amendment providing for the election Of United States Senators by popular vote? In your speech of acceptance you said that you were personally in- cIined to favor such a change in the constitution. Would this not be an opportune time to present the subject to Congress?
 1.-TWO constitutional amendments. one authorizing an income tax, the other providing for the popular elec- tion4 of Senators, would make your ad- ministration memorable. and I pledge you whatever assistance I can render in securing the ratification of these amendments. With great respect am yours truly. (Signed) W. J. Bryan"

Woodford of 2s Mckinley street, Hart ford, formerly of Center street, West Haven, where he is we'll known, and of Bridgeport, had his case continued until Wednesday in police. court this morning. Attorney David E. Fitzger- aid has been retained by the prisoner.
 Woodford was arrested Saturday morning by Detective Dorman, who made a flying trip to Bridgeport, where he found Woodford working the same buncoed several persons in this city. He has tried in vain to secure bonds from former West Haven friends.
 Woodford claims to be an agent for He advertises for agents,r who are in- vited to sign a long contract and de- posit the sum Of 320 as a bond. In several cases at least the police allege the contract and kept the money. Two local men, who claim to be victims, are Julius Hohl of 333 Dixwell avenue, and Richard Hannon of West Haven, of Woodford's when he resided there.
 The police believe he may have work ed the same scheme in Springfield and Hartford as we'll as in New Haven and Bridgeport.
 Woodford typifies, the police believe, that young element which is not sat- fsfied with earning money by the sweat of the brow but believes in making it easy.

AMENDMENT TO
 AUTO BILL AIMED
 AT ROGERS POWER

(By Our Staff COrrespOndent.)
 Hartford, July 13.@A surprise was sprung in the Senate to-day when Sem ator Alsop introduced an act by which the automobile law recently passed by both bodies is amended in it's most im- portant particular. If the measure H. Rogers will be shorn of some con- siderable power in as much as he will not have the appointment of the dep uty automobile commissioner. The new bill transfers from the Sec retary of State to the Governor the power of appointment of the deputy commissioner.
 This official is given power to ap- the bill becomes a. law it is generally accepted here that former Postmaster George I. Allen of Middletown will be the deputy commissioner.
 One of the reports is that the scheme is in the interest of the Mclean can didacy for United States Senator, as Allen failed of reappointment as post master by earning the enmity of Bulk eley and randegee when he espoused the cause of E. J. Hill for Senator. Another runaor is that Rogers is work ing for some one else besides Dr. c. Lincoln Banks as clerk of the Tuber- culosis Commission. That commission was held back from appointing Dr. Banks, it is said, by reason Of the at tituoe of Secretary Rogers.
 Friends of pr. Banks believe that the Governor and Rogers had an un- derstanding by which Rogers will name Allen for deputy commissioners and in turn the Republican machine in Bridgeport would be able to care for Mayor Henry Lee or some other Re publican worker more acceptable to them than Banks for either the clerk ship of the Tuberculosis Board or the superintendency of the tuberculosis hospital to be established in Fairfield county.
 It was figured out that if the Gov ernor had the power to name Allen himself he would be under no favor to the Secretary of State and pr. Banks would have easy sailing for the clerk ship which pays s1,500 a year and ex- renses. It is understood that Secre- tary of State Rogers and his friends here will work tooth and nail to de- feat the new bill.

LAST APPEAL OF
 BUSINESS MEN
Circular Letter Addressed to Senators and Represents
 tives.

Hartford, July 13.-Every member of the House, or Senate, found upon his desk. this morning, a copy of circular issued by the State Business Mems Association demanding the re- peal of Section 3,916 of the statutes. The final appeal of the business men in this matter reads as follows:
 ''Evidence has been submitted to your committee to prove the righteousness of every claim made by those who ask the repeal of this lava law that was passed in 1893 without general knowi- edge of it's wide and vicious scope. IL should be repealed
 "Because it is unfair to evry manu- facturer who produces his own electric power. .se.s
 ssBecause it imposes restrictions on the selling of electricity that are inn posed upon tr-e making and selling of no other cei atrrodity.
 Because n takes away from the ir- diyidual his inalienable rights and hands him over, bound hand and foot, to public service corporation which may or may not give him fair treat ment.
 argue only in favor of it's retention that it protects them in their earnings; have utterly failed to show that 1t Is a law for the protection Of the health or the safety. of the general pubic.
 Because it is an unfair discrimmina- tory law, applying only to towns Of over 15.000 people.
 Because it prevents. a man from selling to his neighbor 9 product which at the same time. it is perfectly legal for him to sell to a tenant
 .sBecause it is a law which creates monopolies; not nonopolfes or natural resources as in the case of water com ranies, but of manufacturers articles
 s'Fairness to the many will lead you to vote for the repeal of this law; law which is of so obnoxious a char acter that no electric company has ever dared seek to enforce it but which has been used instead as a club by those same companies to prevent citi- zens of this state from doing some thing which is legal in evry other state in the Union.
 "By all means, be fair but be fair to the individual and to the manufactures as well to the corporations which con trol the electric power field of the state and which have received without cost valuable franchise and many many favors.
