POLI'S

The bill this week at Polls is pleas ing throughout. The headliner is the Six Musical Cuttys, one of the best, if not the best, musical acts in vaude- merit is Harlan Knight & Co.,, present. ing Una Clayton's one-act rural com- edy-drama, ''The Chalk Line." Nib los wonderful talking birds iss an ad- ded feature that pleases greatly. Will lie Weston, popular comedian and character singer, is one of the best. Kelley and Barrett in their hilarious travesty, '"The Battle of Too Soon,'' and a host of other good things make up a cracker jack bill.
 . Red Headi Red Head.
 Have you ever heard Irene Franklin, Queen of Vaudeville" sing "Red Head?' If you have you will meander down to Polls next week and hear her sing it again. If you haven't, come anyway, because you will be singing Red Head' yourself before the week is over We mean next week, of course. Irene Franklin, than whom there is no more clever woman in vaudeville, will headline Polls bill next week. Yes, Irene is red headed, and she's a cork CT, too. In a recent popularity con- test" pulled off by a vaudeville man agers in New York, Irene Franklin was voted the queen of vaudeville over Tanguay and Alice Lloyd. That means something. But Miss Franklin does not have to depend on popularity con- tests. She comes to the Poli circuit after headlining the Hamerstein bin. After she quits us week after next redheaded Irene goes to the headline position at the American theatre, the new Morris house in New York.
 We say ali these things not because we have to in order to make Irene Ego good" but because they are so. Miss Franklin will ''go good'' even though there wasn't a single advance ,f st her and find out. Burt Green assists Miss Franklin.

HOLZER REPUDIATES
 ELECTRIC BILLS
Introduced Them by Re quest, But Forgot to Write It on the Backs.

Senator Philip L. Holzer, in a state ment made at Hartford, yesterday, confirms the belief which had been al- ready expressed, that the Uuited Hum mating Company of this city and New Haven is father to the electric light bills introduced into the Senate by him, Feb. Il.
 Mr. Holzer says that he introduced the three bills because he was asked to do so by a lawyer of this city, whom he understood to he acting in the interest of the local lighting mono poly.
 Senator Holzeris repudiation of the legislation is complete. He says that he neglected to write the word ''py request upon the measures, and hence has come the assumption that he favor ed them.
 ''I want to say" he continued. that I have no interest whatever in those bills After an investigation I found that they are aimed to prevent private corporations in Bridgeport who have electric plants of their own from Sell ing light and power to other corpor- ations I expect that the Business Mems associations of the State will take the matter of these bills under consideration and will oppose them. I cannot at this time tell whether I will take a personal part in the opposition to their becoming law, but after inqufr- ing into their merits ' can say l am not in favor of them
 The bills will not be enacted into law.

FRATERNITIES WIN.
Court Decides That Membership Is Not
Grounds for Expulsion.

Adrian, Mich, Sept. 25.-Greek letter
fraternities gained favorable decision
over the board of education yesterday
when the Lenawee county circ lit court
decided that high school pupils could
not be expelled from school for refusing
to sign pledge not to be members of
secret societies.
AS this was the first case under the
law forbidding fraternities in pubic
schools, Attorney General John E. Bird
was called into the controversy anu he
declared that the board of education
had no power under the statutes to ex-
pei Wallace Hook, who brought suit
after he had been excluded from school
for refusal to sign the pledge.
Following this opinion by Attorney
General Bird, the board of education
did not file answer to Hooks suit for
and the complainant's
demand was granted.
After the case was lost by the board
it passed resolutions depriving fratern-
ity members Of all privileges and
honors in athletics, debates and other
school contests.

He adds that he has had a hard win
ter and wonderful shooting. Mr..
Whitney, who has been hunting big
game in the Arctic region for a year,
reports in his brief message the pick
ing up of the shipwrecked crew of
the whaler SnOwdroD and asks Mr..
Benedict to notify his friends of his
return to civilization.
In his first message Mr.. Whitney
makes no reference to DIR. Cook. al
though in a letter to his mother some
time ago he reported having met DR..
Cook but mentioned nothing about
the North Pole.
Since his return from the Arctic
DR.. Cook has repeatedly declared that
statement that he informed Whitney
at Annatok. Greenland. of having
reached the North Pole. He imposed
secrecy on Mr.. Whitney. declaring
that he did not wish Commander
Peary to know of his achievement
before he. Cook. had himself an
nounced it to the world. For that
season DR.. Cook explains that Whit
ney did not tell Commander Peary of
the matter when Peary transferred
Roosevelt to the Jeanne.
While the scientists interested in
the controversy declare that Whit

other, cannot affect the facts, the
general public has evinced desire to
know if DR.. Cook. when he seturned

TAFT'S SPEECHES
Are Cause of Uneasiness in Wall
Street Circles.

New York, Sept. 25.-The stock
market has dropped this week after
a strong start due to the strengthened
surplus disclosed by the banks at the
end of last week. The interior re-
sumed it's demand on New York for
currency, foreign discount markets
rose and the New York banks follow
ed a policy of loan contraction to adj
just their accounts to diminishing re-
serves. The stock market turned
from the advices of improving bust
ness to consideration of this money
position. Various rumors, which had
been of large effect in stimulating
speculation, We're disproved by the
event and induced some heavy liz
uidation. The prominent place given
to corporation reform policies by
President Taft in his western adj
dresses caused some uneasy comment
in the finacial district.

THIS IS WORTH WHILE.
Plan to Insure Persons Against Unem-
ployment.

Washington. Sept. 25.-Insurance
against unemployment is, according to
Consul General John L. Griffiths of
London, exciting a great deal of at
tention in England. The passage of
some law governing such insurance is
being discussed from every point of
view
whether or not the effort to make
this insurance compulsory by parlia-
mentary enactment will succeed is still
a matter of doubt, but a strenuous eff
fort, Mr.. Grifhths says, will be made
to obtain the passage of such a law.
The president of the British board of
trade has recently outlined the pro-
posed legislation. He desires to have
it compulsory, contributory and spe-
cialized as to different groups of
trades.
Voluntary plans of insurance against
unemployment have frequently proved
failures because the majority of those
interested in them have been out of
employment and unable to make pay
ments Contributions from employer
and employees are regarded as essential
to give stability and permanence TO

whaler in Hudson Bay but the snow
was too deep and they were driven
back. With the food supply exhaust
ed the white men and natives subsist-
ed on the f1ippers of such seals as
they could shoot on ice and the skins
were fed to the dogs. This was their
principal food all winter Often they
could not find any seals and the entire
party went hungry. In the spring
deer were shot and food was more
plentiful but every one was on an al
lowance of one biscuit a day besides
the meat. For long time the meat
supply was low and was only repIen-
ished by the killing of a polar bear a
few days before the Jeanne reached
Cape Haven.
Two of the crew, VIM. Morrison,
and Richie, had left the station in
December to make their way to
Mica Mines island. in Hudson Bay.
Morrison had frozen both feet and
gangrene had set in in one foot Part
of this foot was ampurared by Eskimo
women but it did not stop the gan
creme. He was in bad condition when
the last news came from him in July.

The Arctic clubs relief ship jeanne,

Grant, owner; Captain Brown and six
members of the crew or the Dundee
whaling vessel, the SnowGrop, which
went ashore at Cape Haven, in the

The Snowdrop was given up for lost
long ago and all on board her had
been mourned as dead until a few
days ago when Alexander Richie, a
member of the crew made his way to
civilization, via Hudson Bay, and
brought the first news of the party.
But as he had not been with the party
for several months it was still feared
that all were lost.
The Snowdrop, after a successful
whaling season, was trying to get into
