NEW LoNDom-aRoToN FERRY
Not Likely to Be Included in the Free
 Ferries of the State.
7(SpeciaI to The BulletinD

Hartford. March 11.-While there is a disposition to act favorably on the prol csition to free all of the ferries in the state new maihtaincd by the towas. in the same manner as was done with the toll bridges two years ago. and to have the state take them over and maintain them, it is felt that the financial part of the proposition is likely to give trouble in view of the straitened circumstances in which the state treasury finds itself because Of the methods of financiering which have prevailed during the past two years. IL is rot likely. however that in any case the proposition will include the New London Groton ferry.
 This is run by company which has invested a considerable amount of money. and to take this over wodld be a very different proposition for the state than taking over the ferries be- tween opposite towns along the banks of the Connecticut river. Senator Latimer told the committee on roads, bridges and rivers something of this at the hearing and it is being dwelt on with even more forcr during the dis- cussiOns of the matter in the lObbies and the Farmers association.
 Senate. Fem. who introduced the DriI cipal bill covering this subject, and the other members who are interested in the project do not make any point of the state taking over this ferry and would be fully as well pleased if it were stricken out of the measure at this time for it is feli by some of thcm that 1t will act as a bar to favor able action on the general matter. 1t was included originally only because it was desired to take in all the ferries and make the scheme a general one.

STEAMER HoRATIo HALL
 ABANDONED TO WRECKERS.
The Dimoek to Be Patched and lowed to Boston.

Chatham. Mass, March 1.-The steamer Horatio Hall which was sunk to her hurricane deck in Pollock Slip Slue in the collision with the steamer H. F. Dimock yesterday. was abandon ed to the wreckers early today. and an other fleet of professional sea physi- clans assembled about the stranded steamer Dimcck. on Nauset Beach, to patch her wounds and give her another chance for a useful life. The Hall was abandoned by Captain Jewell his mate. pilot and two members of the crew early today. after all hands had remained on board the boat for nearly 24 hours after her sinking. The tug John c. Chandler took them off in the early morning hours. Late this after noon the lighthouse steamer Azalea ranged alongside the Hall for the pur- pose of marking the wreck with buoys Captain Thompson was very confident today that. although the tide ebbs and flows through the great rents in the bow of the Dimock. the holes will be patched the vessel hauled in the deep water and eventually reach dry dock in Boston.

TAXATION EXEMPTION
Of Certain Stocks Held by Educational
 and Religious institutions.

Hartford, Conn, March 1.-The finance committee today held a hearing upon the measure exeinpting from tax ation certain stocks which are at pres- ent held by educational and religious institutions.
 It had been the intention of the state to have these institutions sell the stocks, go that the same could come under private ownership and thus be taxed. The institutions. however. claim that the San Francisco fire and the panic have caused the price Of the stocks to drop so greatly that a forced sale of them would do the institutions a great injustice. It has been the policy of the state In the past to allow them to be held until such time as they can be sold without any sacSfice, and the committee will probably report the meas sure faVOrablN.

THE FIGHT AGAINST
 SPEAKER CANNON.
Insurgents Behind Closed Doors Dis
 cuss Course to Pursue.


 Washington March 11.-For more than three hours tonight the re7ubli can insurgents" discussed behind closed doors the opposition they pro- pose to make next Monday when the Sixty first congress convenes, to the adoption of the rules of the last house to govern it.
 The leaders of the movement ex- pressed entire satisfaction with the size of the meeting. claiming that at least ten more members would vote with them against the rules. It is known that much of the time at the meeting was devoted to a discussion of compromise with the organization forces.
 The suggestion was made that the insurgents" enter into a compromise with the regulars whereby a commit tee would be appointed at the begin ming of the special session to revise the rules of the house. Pending the report of the committee the rules of the last house would be enforced.
 The sentiment of the meeting was that the speaker should not have the power of appointing the committee if such a compromise was agreed upon.
 Those at the meeting were Repre- sentatives Gardner and Lowering of Massachusetts; MurdOck and Madison, Kansas; Hubbard, Iowa; Morse. Coop CT, Nelson, Kopp, Cary. Lenroot and Esch. Wisconsin; Miller and Davis, Minnesota: Kinkaid and Hinshaw, Ne braska; Gronna, North Dakota. and Poindexter. Washington.
 The statement was made at the meetings that telegrams had been re- ceived from Representative Iindberg of Minnesota. Norris of Nebraska and Hayes of California that they would vote with the insurgents"
 After the conference the Insurgents" declined to discuss the conclusions reached at the meeting. It is known that the proposition to compromise did not meet with general approval. A programme for the parliamentary pro cedure for Monday was agred upon,but 1t was not made public. Chairman Gardner said aftet the conferences: '@Fhe meeting voted unanimously to give the tariff bill the right of way and decided upon programme embodying a definite plan for a thorough revision of the rules. This programme win not be made public until congress Is or eanized"

Priests Affairs
 In a TangIe
FATHER HILBERT OF BALTIMORE
 MENTALLY UNBALANCED.
CARDINAL GIBBONS PAYS DEBTS.
Father Ebert Owes About $13o,ooo Exclusive Of Church Debt of s25,ooo Statement by the Cardinal.

Baltimore, March 11.-Since the re- movaI last week of the Rev. Casper P Ebert from the pastorate of St Catherine's Catholic church there have been many reports as to the resaon, Investigation has developed the fact that Father Ebert owes about s130, GOO, exclusive of a church debt of BPS, 900.
 Visionary Financial Schemes.
 A statement by Cardinal Gibbons made through his attorney, Edgar II Cans, says that little of this money SC far as can be aScertaine6, was used for church purposes. Some of 1t went to pay premiums on life and accident in- surance. of which the priest had poll cies amounting to nearly $70,000. The balance went into visionary financial schemes by which he expected to real ize large profits.
 Borrowed from Baltimors Banks.
 Persons who have examined Fathel Elbert's affairs believe he is mentally unbalanced. He is now in Mount Hope retreat. Cardinal Gibbons. though he may not be legally liable for the priests debts, has assumed the our den of paying them.
 Inquiries ln banking circles show that Father Ebert Borrowed from at least five Baltimore banks, and sue ceeded in raising large sums from them on notes and other collateral. He also borrowed from individuals, sign ing his notes as pastor of St. Gather ines.
 Difficulties Began in 1904.
 Father Elbert's difficulties began in 1904 when he started to raise money for the purpose of improving the con dition of his parish and making addi- tions to the Sunday school and church Successful In this, he spent the money in improvements and then began to branch out. His projects included in- terests in patents and the purchase of land on a large scale at Relay, Md. upon which he intended to erect fac tories. Another project was the pur- chase of a copper mine. and the estab- lishment of a smelling factory. One scheme after another was taken up bH him and he lost thousands of dollars

Convicted of Felonious Assault Upon Twelve Year old eirI-csse Was Tried Without a Jury.

Towson, Md. March 11.-Joseph NJ Jauer of Brooklyd was convicted today of felonious assault upon Catherine Loerch, 12 years of age, also of Brook lyn, and was sentenced to twenty-one years in the Maryland penitentiary, this being the maximum possible under the particular count of the Indictment on which conviction was had.

It was in evi- dence that Janer, early in February. brought the child to Baltimore, repre- sented her to be his daughter, and dur ing two nights, dne spent in a dis reputable house and the other in a boarding house. repeatedly subjected her to most brutal ill-treatment. The prosecution put witnesses on the stand to show practically every movement made by Janer and the child after their arrival Tn Baltimore and physicians gave evidence conhrmatory of the con- tention of the state. Janer went on the stand in his own defense today and denied his guilt. The judges announced their finding after about ten minutes deliberation.
 Immediately Taken to Penitentiary.
 Janer's counsel made a motion for a new trial, but this was subsequently, withdrawn. When sentence was pro- nounced Janer showed not the slight est emotion. He was taken immedi- ately to the penitentiary in Baltimore. Janer's wife was in court throughout the trial.

 BASED ON NOVEL LINES
Ohio Invention Tested Yesterday- Start from Ground Unassisted.

Dayton O., March 1.-The home of the Wright brothers produced another claimant to high honors in the field Of aeronautics in the person of the i'm ventor, W J.

 Inventor Richardson claims there exists no further mechanical defects to perfect aviation. Representatives of the French government have been ne- gotiating with Mir. Richardson with relation to experimentation abroad.

PRESIDENT LEWIS ANGRY,
 SAYS STATEMENT IS ONE-sIDED
1t is Believed That Today Will See End
 of Conference.

Philadelphia, March 11.-President Lewis was very angry tonight when shown the statement that had been given out. He said the arrangements with the operators were that the sec ret2ry of each subcommittee was to act as a press committee and prepare a statement for the public. Secretary c. ". Hartlein represented the miners on this committee and George F. Par ker of New York acted for the oper- ators.
 Mr. Lewis left the meeting before the statement was prepared. When he was shown 9 copy tonight he ex pressed great surprise that Hartleln should agree to such One-sided statement" and declared that he want .. ed an explanation from Hartiein as to whether the statement given out is the one agreed to- MT. Lewis added:
 "The statement shown to me tonight es coming from the joint conference Is not complete and is simply a state ment giving the operators position Having agreed with all members of the conference that the secretaries of the operators and the miners representa- tives should act as press committee. do not feel at liberty 10 give out 8 statement as to what transpired today In the point conference. and in order not to violate confidence shall re- AAe4Il AEOlh biN4uS DuL q statement III I'll tomorrow night"
 Mir. Lewis added that hereafter he would act as his own press committee
 IL is believed tonight that tomorrow will see the end of the present confer ence. The miners leader said that he would not stand any prOtracted ses- sio1s and that ne would not waste time arguing questions. From the tenor of MT. Lewis remarks 1t is gathered that not much will result from the confer ence.
