RESCIND ALL FORMER ACTION
 AND LAY NEW LINE, SAYS MARR

Arthur Jeliffe, president of the Con- Jaecticut Oyster Protective Association, has obtained from Former Republican City Attorney James A. Marr, advice upon the hest method to be pursued in laying a harbor line that will pro- tect the interest of the city.
 It will be reme bered tiiat at the ,neeting of the Council in January the government line. which was laid under the old charter was repealed, and so- called compromise line laid in it's place.
 Since then the pro-railroad agitators have raised the claim that because the city harbor line was laid under the old charter damages would have to be paid
 It was this claiE1 that induced Mir. Jeiiffe to seek further information.
 MT. Marr, in brief statement which is substantially a repetition of his opin ion upon the law governing the ques- tion, which was rendered to MT. Jeliffe and printed in the Farmer, completely disposes of all such claims.
 He says that the common council has Lower to rescind all former action ill reference to harbor lines, and then pro- ceed to lay one satisfactory to the city, which without any question would then be laid under the new charter.
 Mir. Marr also suggests that if there are any who doubt that the city has nower under the new charter to lay harbor lines without compensating up land owners, that it is a very simple matter to go to the legislature and have the poirt removed from the realm of doubt.
 While admitting the doubt, it is MT. Marrs opinion that if line were laid under the new charter the city would incur no liability for damages.

Paris, Feb. S.-A riot occurred today in the court room where the students guilty of the riot outbreak at the Uni- versity of SarEonne were being tried A group of Royalists in sympathy with the students started the trouble by shouting Down with the republic!'' The judge ordered the gendarmes to clear the court room and hand to hand fight followed. When the mill was at it's height several orators at tempted to make political speeches from the benches.
 After the fight had lasted a quarter of an hour the police succeeded in re- storing order but all the spectators were excluded from the court room.

William Henry Hopkinson, a skilled machinist, at 12:30 this noon cut the throat of Mrs. Aida Unwin, aged 34 and then cut his own with the same razor He died almost immediately. The woman was removed to Bridge port hospital. It is believed she will recover, although her throat is terrib- ly gashed, and she is terribly weakened from loss of blood.
 The tragedy occurred in the double frame structure at 497 Pembroke street, in which Mrs. Unwin made her home. HOpkinson, the slayer, occu- pied a room upon the upper floor, the other three rooms of which were used by the family of William Wiggles- worth.
 While the facts of the tragedy are not completely known, although the terrible story of it is largely told by the surroundings, there is no doubt as to the motive.
 Hopl1inson is about Ga years old, but he is a man of excellent presence, and of good conversation. He boarded with Mrs. Unwin, whose husband had not lived with her for some two or three years past. The fact that Mrs. Unwin was some 31 years younger than Hopkinson apparently did not prevent some sort of an understanding arising between them as the result of which the neighbors began to talk.
 As the tongue of rumor wagged, the tales of the relations between Hopl1in-

mood and breeding. He had manifest ca disturbance over the jeers and jibes which were uttered half good natured- ly and half in malice by his shopnates. put his most serious thoughts were directed to the contemplation of his fate at his advanced age if he should be deprived of his little savings
 He walked out of the factory at noon With the rest of the men in the de- partment. Many observed him cur 1ously, but none from his manner de- rived, or could have derived any clue to the terrible purpose that probably was then formed in his mind; the de- termination that he doubtless had slowly reached, as he labored over the duties of the morning.
 He would end his troubles by ending bis own life and that of the woman who as it seemed to him had caused them.
 When he arrived at the little house on Pembroke street he went upstairs to his room.
 A description of the room is essen tial to a proper understanding of the deed of blood that was committed
 It Is a small room. In the center of it is a bed. The windows of it front upon the roof of a broad veranda

son and the woman grew until they reached the machine room of the Salts Textile company. in which both Unwin, the husband. and Hopkinson. the hus- bands successor in the affections of the wife, were employed, side by side.
 Unwin made an investigation. What he saw has not been told. But when he returned to work the day following his discoveries he said significantly to Hopkinson. "I will make you pay for what you have done"
 On last Friday Unwin undertook to make his threat good. He went to Judge Carl Foster. who issued a body writ. in which Hopkinson was charged with having alienated, Mrs. Unwin's affections, and $10,000 damages were claimed.
 The writ was served by Sheriff Ham, Iton. upon HOpkinson. at his work in the machine department of the Salts Textile company. The latter put on his coat. and accompanied the sheriff to the bank, where he obtained a certi- fled check for S90O. which he gave as a bond to secure his release.
 Saturday night he went to Judge Foster and admitted his guilt. He of fered to pay the costs of the proceed ing and to make a cash settlement.
 But Judge Foster was not in Q posi- t1on to effect a compromise at which Hopkinson seemed much disturbed. Hopkinson apparently brooded over the prospective loss of his earnings, but he went to his work as usual. He was at his place in the factory this morn ing, apparently in a most serious

HATTERS' STRIKE
 IS LIKELY TO BE
 LONG DRAWN OUT
Shops Will Open Tomorrow With Non-Union Men,
 Mostly Green Hands.
P President Mundheim Say Manufacturers Will Fight to a Finish-Not a Hat Has Been Made Since Strike Began.
Especial from United Press.)

New York, Feb. S.--That the strike fourth week will be a long drawn out bitter struggle, is the opinion of the hat naanufact urers who have begun to prepare for a lengthy siege which they expect will follow the operation of the shops under the open-shop system.
 Samuel Mundheim, president of the Associated Hat Manufacturers said to- day that the manufacturers would fight to the end and will haves abso- lutely nothing to do with the unions.
 The strike has been on over three weeks,'' said MT. Mundheim, 'and not q hat has been made in the factories affected during that time. We will open tomorrow, hiring men as individ- uaIs."
 Do you expect the union men to re- ! turn to the shops they have left?' "No, we will undoubtedly be forced to em-
 ploy green hands. For that reason we will not put on full force at first ''
 will wages be cut down from the present union standard?' That will rest entirely with the individual man ufacturers. I think that they will not be cut to any great extent"
 Do you expect any trouble when you open the factories?" tThe factor ies have all been picketed by the strik- CTS since the strike began. We have no way of knowing what their plans or intentions are."
 The officials of the United Hatters, the union organization, would say nothing to-day as to their plans about the strike. They are busily raising funds to continue the strike however.
 South Norwalk, Feb. S.-As a final 4~ h. @cj1y L., oG ficers of the Crof,at & Knapp Company, the largest hat manufacturers in the city, to-day issued @ letter to each of their employees who are out on strike asking them to return to work to-mor- row morning when the shops are re- opened.
 The letter says in part: We intend to deal with the workman as an in dividual without regard to membership in any labor union and we will run our business free from outside inter- ference of any kind. We have no pre- judioe against union labor but for the protection of ourselves and our em- the individual. Under no circumstances will we change our attitude and all who enter our employ will receive adequate protection.
 It is not likely, however that any of the strikers will accept the invitation to go to work as they feel they will win out

existed as to the immunity conferred upon the city by the present char ter, this could be removed by the present Legislature now in session which has full power to confer upon the city all the rights which the State. itself, has.
 8. That a harbor line laid under the present charter would not con- demn the Naugatuck dock nor pre- vent it's use, maintenance or repair, and, therefore, a harbor line estab- lished through it would cause no damages thereto.
 You will notice that nowhere in my opinion has the question in any way been mentioned, involved or discuss ed as to whether the present con- troversy before the Common Council involves the laying of a line UNDER THE NEW CHARTER OR UNDER THE OLD CHARTER.
 The Common Council has the power to rescind all former action in ref erence to this harbor line and then proceed at once to lay another har- bor line which, without any question, would be then laid under the new charter.
 And, as before stated, whatever doubt exists as to whether or not the present charter authorizes the city to lay harbor lines without paying damages, it is settled law in this State that the Legislature has the power to remove this doubt if the city and it's citizens desire it, pro- viding, of course, t1ey get the Leg islature to so specifically amend the charter.
 Respectfully submitted this 9th day of February, 1909.

MORAN WAS A
 MAN WHO DARED
Boston's District Attorney Fought His Way Into Public Eye.

Boston. Feb S.--John E. Moran, At torney of Suffolk county, who died Saturday, night .n Phoenix. .Ariz., where he was seeking to restore his health. broken by tuberculosis, had gained the popular sobriQuet of the Man who Dares." by indomitable will and brilli- ance as a criminal lawyer and cross examiner as well as a public debater, he had forced himself prominently into the public eye. Tn 1905 he defeated for reelection District Attorney Michael J. Sugl1rue of Suffolk county. although the latter man received the regular Democratic Republican support for that office. Moran was reelected as an independent candidate in 1907 for
