There are strong indications of re- newal of industrial activity and of a decided gain in general business. Bank cleariHgs have largely increased, and the railroads freight receipts show a steady gain. This may be the result of a belief that the tariff bill, when completed, will be compromise be- tween the House and Senate bills. or
 it may be that an exhaustion of stocks on hand has forced the commencement of replenishing process. Whatever the cause, the effect is very welcome after year and more of partial stag nation. Of course, resumption of man
 ufacturing and commercial activity will be hailed as due to the beneficence of Republican rule, but it is very far from a fulfilment of the promise that full prosperity would arrive the day after Taft's election. Our Republican friends, while making the claim refer red to. will sedulously abstain from referring to the fact that the industrial and commercial stagnation came under Republican rule and is, by many per sons, accredited thereto. There are few things more amusing than to ob- serve Republican endeayors both to gain credit for public prosperity and to escape discredit for the opposite.

DOCTOR SAYS CAPT.
 HANS THROTTLED NAUGATUCK CLERIC
Especial from United Presso

Especial from United Press0 Flushing, L. l., April 2S.-Dr. Clar- ence L. Platt, prison physician of Queens County, under former District Attorney Darrin, is expected to be one of the principal witnesses for the de- fense m the trial of Captain Peter c. Hains. Jr. The testimony of Dr. Platt may result in the appointment of a lunacy commission to pass upon the captains sanity.
 Dr. Pratt. it has developed made an examination of Hains a few weeks after his arrest under orders from former District Attorney Darrin and submitted a report which stated that Captain Hains was suffering from mania depressive insanity This re- port is now in the possession of Dis trict Attorney Dewitt.
 of his visits to Hains by the Rev. Charles L. Pardee of Naugatuck. Conn The doctor says that when he and the minister entered the corridor where Captain HainS was walking the cap tain rushed at the Rev. Pardee and, grasping him by the throat, attempted to choke him. He was overpowered by the guards and taken back to his cell.
 The defense will attempt to force the prosecution to produce this report and have it used as evidence. The object of such a move. it is expected, would be a commission in Iunacv appointed by Judge Garretson.

ANCIENT ROME.

It Could Not Compare In Splendor
 With Some Modern Capitals.
 Rome, even in the times of it's great est splendor, was poor in comparison with the modern world Even in the second century after Christ, when it stood as metropolis at the head of an immense empire, Rome was smaller, less wealthy, less imposing than a great metropolis of Europe or of Amer lea. Some sumptuous public edifices, beautiful private houses-that is all the splendor of the metropolis of the empire.
 Moreover, the palaces of the Caesars that stirs the artist and makes the philosopher think, but if one sets him. self to measure them, to conjecture from the remains the proportions of the entire edifices, he does not conjure up buildings that rival large modern construction. The palace of Tiberius, for example, rose above a street only two meters wide, less than seven feet, an alley like those where today in Italian cities live only the most miser- able inhabitants. We have pictured to ourselves the imperial banquets of ancient Rome as functions of unheard of splendor; if Nero or Elagabalus could came to life and see the dining room of a great hotel in Paris or New York, resplendent with light, with crystal, with silver, he would admire it as far more beautiful than the halls in which he gave his imperial feasts. Think how poor were the ancients in artificial light! They had few wines; they knew neither tea nor coffee nor cocoa, neither tobacco nor the in numerable nQueurs of which we make use. In face of our habits they were always Spartan, even when they vast ed, because they lacked the means to squander.-Guglielm Ferrero in Put nam'a

Dr. Chaffee was thrown about 25 feet and landed in a nearby meadow, but was uninjured. He at once went to the assistance of his fath- CT who was pinned between the ma chine and a stone wall upon which the automobile fell after turning turtle. Neither was injured beyond a few bumps and bruises. With the excep- tion of a few dents and damage to some of it's trimmings the machine was uniniured.

GETTING READY FOR
 SPORT HILL CLIMB
Bridgeport Automobile Club Working Preparation for Annual Event.

| New members were elected to the
 Bridgeport Automobile club Wednesday
 evening as follows: Herbert M. Knapp, | Burr & Knapp; Thomas L. Watson | Black Rock; Richard T. Staples, Jas. Staples & Co.,; Fred R. Silliman, Silli-
 man man & Godfrey O.; Kenneth ". Me | Neil, A. McNei1 & Sons Coal Co.,; I. | F.. Haviland, Maplewood avenue; Geo. F. Bushnell, 1119 Iranistan avenue; Dr. Albert J. Roberts, 346 State street. The new offices of assistant Secre- l tary being established by amendment, | that office was filled by the selection l of Herbert M. Lyon of the Bridgeport Trust Go.
 After the reading of a letter from the selectmen of the town of Berlin a res olution was passed asking all automo- bilists to use the roads of that town carefully and observe the spirit of the reasonable and fair request made by the selectmen. The opinion was ex- pressed that the greater part of the trouble in Berlin came from the test cars of. automobile manufacturers in Hartford and New Britain.
 F. A., Strong was elected a member Of the board of governors to fill a va cancy caused by the election of Ralph M. Sperry as vice president.
 President F. T. Staples was author ized to name three members of the club to act directors of the Connec- ticut Automobile Association.
 Immediately after the governors meeting the contest committee was called to order by Chairman Ralph M. Sperry and the task of preparing a
 classified tion for the hill climbing con-
 test to be held May 31 at Sport Hill,
 was undertaken.
 Recently the American Automobile
 Association has prepared two arbitrary
 classifications for all hill climbs, one
 governed by the cylinder dimensions
 and the other. by the selling price of a
 car. It was decided to adopt the lat
 ter, especially as it conforms almost
 identically with the classification pre- pared and used by the Bridgeport Club last year.
 In fact the contest committee feels quite elated to think that the national
 body decided on the Bridgeport classi- fication after. considering all of the others which have been used around the country at various events of this kind. Chairman Sperry reported that in response to announcements in the automobile press and the posters sent out numerous requests for entry blanks had been received. He believ- ed there would be a large entry list.
 President Staples said he would of- fer a presidents cup and it will be used a trophy for the amateur class. The Board of Trade cup won last year by an Isotta car will be competed for again in the free-for-aH class.

In the 'tEverybody'' magazine for May, there appears an article sharply attacking the Weather bureau. 1t seems to have been inspired by the er- TOT in predicting the weather for In- auguration day at Washington. The charges brought against the bureau are that it is ''unduly expensive," Gts cost last year being $1,622, ,260); that it ''does not progress" that it is t'exces- sively explanatory and excessively self-defensive;" that it's predictions are generally not specific and are 'eva- sive and intentionally ambiguous and that there is mo we'll founded hope of Improvement" In addition, it is as- serted that, notwithstanding the in crease in cost from s15,000 a year to over $1 ,600, 900, there has been no de- cided improvement in weather predic- tions, and this despite the fact that the American weather service is the greatest in the world. There is also ra tller more than intimation that politics have crept into the bureau and lessened it's effectiveness.

 Horse Thief Shot.
 A thief got away with a horse from barn in Greenwich, Tuesday night, and on Wednesday morning, when he was confronted by two Port Chester policemen he whipped out revolver and shot one of the officers. The other officer instantly fired at the thief, and brought him down. Both of the wounded men are now in the hospital. with serious wounds, but are not fatally injured. The wounded po- liceman is Joseph Balls. The horse thief gave his name as John Miller, and his residence as Jersey City. The horse was stolen from the barn of Vessels Bros. Besides the horse the thief stole a box wagon and a set of harness. He got out of Greenwich without difficulty, but in Port Chester the outfit was recognized.

THE BUSY BEES.
How the Insects Work When They
 Are Collecting Honey.

| How the Insects Work When They Are Collecting Honey. Upon the approach of a bee to any flower it flies around the calyx almost always before alighting upon the flow CT itself. This is a cursory examina- | ton, and with its antennae oat- stretched and quivering it is evidently scenting the honey contained within Should this prove a fruitful flower and of the flavor required the bee set ties on the center of the stamen and, clutchfng it with It's four front legs, steadies itself with It's longer out stretched two hindermost ones and the wings of the body assuming a vibratory motion the while.
 The bees proboscfs is most fmpor- tant instrument. It is composed of about forty cartilaginous rings, each of which is fringed with minute hairs, having also a small tuft of hair at its extremity, where it is somewhat ser rated. Its movement is like the trunk of an elephant and is susceptible of extension and contraction, bending and twisting in all directions. Thus, by rolling it about, it searches out the calyx, pistil and stamen of every flow CT and deposits its nectar upon the tongue, whence it passes into the gull let at the base.
 The gullet, or first stomach, is the honey bag. No digestion takes place here. In shape it is like an oil flask and when full contains about one grain. It is susceptible of contraction and is so arranged as to enable the insect to disgorge its contents into the cells of the hive.-Philadelphia North American.

Curiously enough, the independent oil producers object to free oil. They assert that it would benefit Standard Oil by allowing it to import it's raw material free of duty, and that this competition would injure them and perhaps force them out of business. In effect, this is a plea that the indepen- dent producers and refiners are an in- fant industry which should be protect ed by a duty of 50 per cent. on petro- 1eum and it's products. Possibly they are infants in strength as compared with the giant Standard Oil, but we fail to see how they can be protected without benefiting the giant in even greater degree or without imposing the entire burden upon the whole people, in the form of increased prices.
