 MONOPOLY
 IS BANGED
House Leader Burnes Meets With Usual Non-Success In Bolstering Up Mon
 Opoly.
Special to the Farmer.o

Hartford, May 19-Numerous inn portant measures at the foot of the calendar were the order of the day for today in the House. The resolution incorporating the Billiard Company, that has to do with the stock of the Boston & Maine R. R. Co.,, was not acted upon. The first matter to receive detailed consideration was that providing that mufflers be used on the exhaust of all motor boats. This was amended so as to include internal com- bustion engines and passed after lit- tie discussion.
 The House took a long time over a resolution paying A. J. Wright for ex- tra services rendered the State Board of Education in compiling it's annual report. MT. Wright has not been paid for this work for Il years, beginning at time when a change in the law made it seem that the board of con trol had no right to pay the bill which amounts to $1,527. 50. The House fin ally passed the resolution but not un- til it had listened to some very caus- tic criticisms of Secretary Hine of the State board and his office methods. MT. Platt of Milford held aloft a copy of the last annual report of the board which is now five years old, read from the law to show that the secretary should get out his report annually, and that he had every authority for paying the expenses and then said that un- less MT. Hime can live up to the law in carrying on his department he ought to be summarily elected from office. Certainly the House could not tell whether this was just or not. Aft CT a long discussion it was decided to pay the bill on the presumption that MT. Wright had done the work, but the more discussion there was the more it became plain that Secretary Hine is not popular with the House.
 The next bill provided that the Southern New England Telephone Go. must extend it's line three-quarters of a mile in order to give service to a new subscriber if he presents a peti- ton signed by 20 subscribers in his town and five in the adjoining town and if it fails to do this it is to be haled before the Superior court. MT. Cary of Southington is the father of this bill which has been unfavorably reported by the Judiciary committee. Member after member arose to voice adverse opinions of the phone mon opoly and service rendered and Chair man Burnes of the Judiciary commit tee had his hands full defending it. The House finally passed the bill by a large vote t
 An act providing for the removal of grade crossings on petition to the railroad commissioner was passed after being amended as to a minor point.

STOCKS DID NOT
 TUMBLE BECAUSE
 OF ROGERS DEATH
Tendency Was Toward Bet
 ter Tone Following Slight
 Unsteadiness When Mag !, nate's Death Was An nounced.
Special from United Press.)

New York, May 19.-The stock mar ket opened unsteady. Stocks in which H. H Rogers was interested showed weakness following the announce rnent of his death. Amalsamated Cop per sustained the heaviest loss. That stock opened on one point and lost more on moderate selling. Consolidat- ed Gas fell two and one-eighth and other stocks shaded off fractionally but before the end of the first quarter of an hour the absorption regarded as the chief feature in the market, be- came effective, causing general ad- vances all around the room.
 Il a. m.-The death of H. H. Rogers induced general commission house selling at the opening but the supply was not important enough to have much influence on prices except Con- solidated Gas and Amalgamated. In- terests closely associated with MT. Rogers stated this morning that his holdings of Consolidated Gas had been considerably reduced if not entirely liquidated recently. They also ex- pressed the opinion that his interests in Standard Oil had been considerably reduced. At Il o'clock strong tone developed. London was a fairly large buyer of U. S. Steel common, Union Pacific and Copper.
 Government bonds unchanger; other bonds strong.
 Noon.-The market displayed decided strength around noon.

The Newtown bee., 1909-11-12

It is not John Fspie now. It is the
 holy principle of right. When you
 suppose he voted, you suppose he com
 mitted a crime. You are oblidged to read into much matter to hold this man on these counts. He didn't falsely vote, because you haven't proved he voted at all. If you are going to speculate on this case where will the speculation end? The check list does not prove that an envelope was deposited. Where is the law that any member of a board of registration can administer an oath? I say there is no such thing as legal presumption when the State provides that a special officer shall

any more than it is necessary to
 prove the fact of the incorporation
 of the town.
 Atto,ney Nickerson For the Defense.
 Attorney L. J. Nickerson, in speak
 ing for the defense, said in part: In
 the third count under the principle of the law laid down by Judge Wheeler it is your duty to acquit. MT Cunningham didn't squint at anything that brings this man under the provisions of the registration law. That the board of registration were holding sessions required by law is not proven. You haven't a scrap of proof that the meeting of September 25 was convened accord ing to law. Who was authorized by law to administer the oath? Ger tainly not Andrew c. Barnes. Mir Cunningham can't show scrap where a statute authorizes the se- lectn:an to administer the oath. The third count is for fraudulent voting. Where is your proof that the meeting was warned according to law? Noth- ing but comes from the witness stand can be used against my client. You can't presume in this case. You can't go outside this court for your evidence. No proof of legal vot- ing h"s been advanced. Did Espie vote? What do you mean by vot- ing? How have they showed this man voted? No man great or small | ever ought to be convicted of any crime until the evidence convicts him according to the rules of law.

administer the oath. The doctrine of presumption doesn't count in a criminal case. We are here to see that this mans rights are safeguard ed and within the law. We have a right to ask that as the State of Con- necticu- has not proved it's allega- tion, that you dismiss the case.
 After a brief recess the judges denied the motion to dismiss.
 Stephen c. Beach and W. H. Adams testified briefly as to meet ing for registration on September 20. The court then bound Espie over for trial in the February term of the Superior court under $500 bonds.
