Mr. Taft won applause at the very
outset, by announcing his adherence
to the Roosevelt policies and of his

of further legislation which would
also have for its purpose the freeing

NEW EXPRESS RATE
Adams Co. Must Now Pay New Haven
 Road 46 Fer Cent. Instead Of 40.

New Haven. Oct. 27.-From an au-
 thoritative source it is learned that the new contract which the New Ha- ven railroad has entered into in final solution Of the dispute as to whether the road was being properly paid for the carriage of Adams Express com pany freight, has resulted in a con- tract by means of which the express company shall pay AS per cent. here after. instead of the 40 per cent. which this company has been taxed.
 In consequence of this increased rate charge the express company it now appears is endeavoring to collect as much as it can from it's patrons in order to make it's gross earnings hold up One of the things that the expre ss company is doing is to enforce re- turn freightage tax on packages which. having been .emptied, come back to this or other eastern cities. Many of these packages have hitherto come back free.
 A matter of moment in this con- nectiorl, as applied to New Haven. is the collection of return tolls on empty oyster kegs which are sent back here by the hundred daily from the west. The new rate on the return of these kegs calls for a charge of 15 cents per them are dispatched. This rule calls for a delivery of the kegs by the ex press company at the headquarters of the wholesale oyster houses in the city.
 Oyster kegs are bulky. and their handling is attended with inconveni- ence. Heretofore the rules of the ex- press company have called for the re- turn of these kegs to the station on y. and there the drivers for the various oyster wholesalers have collected .them and< carted them away as they have come in. Now, however. the oyster dealers wait for the express company to complete the return.

Mrs. Anna Fish, Charged With Murder,
 Gets Off on Light Sentence.

k Mrs. Anna Fish charged with mur- der in the second degree for having caused the. death of Mrs. Fannie Kap- show, by having performed a criminal operation upon her, yesterday in the New Haven criminal superior court pleaded guilty to a charge of man slaughter and mainly in consideration of her old age was sentenced by Judge Reed to only three months in jail. / Mrs. Fish, a Jewish woman of over 72 years of age, and aged much be- yond her years, first pleaded not gull ty and in pitiable way protested inno- cence of the crime charged against her. After all the evidence of the state had been put in. however, she chang ed her plea, following the advice of her counsel, Attorney Jacob P. Good hart. to that of guilty of manslaugh- ter.
 The operation was performed upon Mrs. Kapsinow sometime in May and she died at the New Haven hospital July IA. Mrs Kapsinow is survived by her husband>and five children, one of whom, little girl testified in court to her mothers having made repeat ed visits to the, house of Mrs. Fish.

COMPARE THE
 TWO ACCEPTANCES

Very seldom in local campaigns does a Mayoria1 nominee state his position upon public questions so clearly and comprehensiyely as has MT. Bucking- ham. He leaves none untouched, and none in doubt. Having nothing to conceal, he concealed nothing; he did not use words to hide intentions to the contrary. We invite attention anew to the leading points of his speech of acceptance, not in fear that all voters have not read it, but to em- phasize, if that be possible, it's Straightforward, unequivocal, manly character:

 The first subject on the calendar for considerat tion is, What Is Your Local Board of Trade Doing for the Com munity?" This pertinent question will probably be productive of some inter- est1ng accents of work now being done by the local boards, as some of the cities. through their boards of trade, have accomplished much in the way of promoting local interests.
 What is the best method of improv- ing our public highways to meet the demands of modern traffic?" will. it is expected. be handled by a gentleman formerly connected with the New York highway com mission.
 Another topic of vital interest to the state of Connecticut. and one which Just now is given added prominence through the fact that the first prize at the big fruit show in Boston was won by the town of Cheshire. this state is What are the possibilities of Connec- tocut as a fruit growing state'' This subject will be{opened by J. H. Hale, the well known proprietor of the ex-, tensive peach orchard in South Glas- tonbury.
 The fourth topic is, Should a direct line of steamers to South American countries be subsidized by the United States government?''
 The meeting will be called to order promptly at 10 o'clock so that sufficient time may be allowed for the full dis cussion of each question on the pro- gram.
 A buffet lunch will be served at noon The indications are that there will be a large number of delegates in attend ance at the meeting.

Judge 5. E. Baldwin
 To Succeed Peckham

Among the candidates who have been named as possible appointees of the president for the vacancy on the bench of the supreme court of the United States because of the death of Justice Peckham is Judge Simeon E.. Baldwin, chief justice of the supreme court of errors of this state. Judge Baldwin is considered a high legal authority, a judge of scholarly and thorough train ing in the law and as chief justice of the state he has made fine record <
 Judge Baldwins term on the supreme court of Connecticut bench closes with next February. This is because at that time he reaches the age limit of 70 years. There is no age limit how ever, on the bench of the supreme court of the United States and several of the justices are considerably older than Judge Baldwin {

CLEAR-CUT. COMPREHENSIVE,
 CONCLUSIVE

In strong contrast with the indefin- ite and Incomplete platform adopted by the local Republicans, or rather by the machine which had much to con- ceal and little to reveal, is the definite Iy wordel and fully comprehensive platform adopted by the local Demo- much to reveal as to the conduct of city affairs.
 The latter platform pledges itself (the party) to a. determined effort to correct the abuses of inequitable val uation of the several classes of prop efty's, a condition which is amply ex- plained by> MT. Buckingham's state ment that 'shomes and lands bear more than five-eighths of all the charges that is. of taxation.
 It deplores the extravagant expendi- lures which have compelled heavy taxation without adequate results, calling attention specially to "the de- piorable condition of the streets and promising their restoration s'to a proper and acceptable condition"
 It favors the obtainment of water front .'to establish public wharves'' and declares that the city should pro tect the harbor from all encroach- ment.''
 It deEounces the "harbor grab and car-barn surrender as injurious to the city and harmful to good public pol icy'', the former giving away "a large portion of the harbor'', and the. latter establishing death traps at the ends Of the two principal bridges connect ing, the east and west sides of the city,"@
 It favors just taxation of the prop erty used in producing electricity, and "a substantial reduction of rates both to the city and to private consum- ers."
 It declares that the city should seek fuller powers for the regulation of public utilities services and their rates" and that charter amendments should be submitted to the people, in- stead of the charter being subject to change at the mere will of a group of poiiticians', a conspicuous result of this being the creation of a Perma- nent Paving Commission with term of office fixed at six years and so organ ized as to strengthen political ma chine.''
 It "denounces the complete subserv- iency of the executive branch of the city government to public service cor porations'' and pledges the party ''to prevent the surrendering to those cor porations of any right belonging to the people and to compel such corpora tions to comply with all their duties and legal obligations
 As in the case of the acceptances of the Mayorial candidates, so in the matter of the two platforms, compari- son is invited, in full confidence that the Democratic deliverance will re- ceiye the peoples commendation.
 It is comprehensive where the Re publican platform is incomplete; it is unequivocal where it's rival is the op- posite; it is definite where the other is indefinite; it is .clear-cut and con- elusive where the other is muddy or omissive. The Democratic party asks but for a fair comparison and an hon. est judgment.

Tuberculosis Commission
 Can Accept Undercliff

eMriden. Oct. 2.-At the special town meeting held here last evening a re- solution was adopted giving an un- conditional transfer of tract of land and buildings to the state for the pro- posed, new tuberculosis sanatorium to be built and operated by the state.
 The town of Meriden previously had offered the site to the tuberculosis commission subject to conditions which it was not within the authority of the commission to accept. AS the site is absolutely satisfactory to the com mission, there is no doubt that said property will be the site for the tub erculosis sanitarium in New Haven county provided that some additional neighboring land can be procured.

father, Augustine, Lawrence and
George-removed to a farm in STAFFORD
county, directly across the river from
Fredericksburg. The date of the re-
moyal of the Washingtons from the
Potomac to the Rappahannock is
doubtful, but II occurred between 1875
and 1740. The Rappahannock farm
had been owned several years by Au-
gustine Washington, the elder. This
farm has been variously called Pine
Grove and the Ferry farm, the latter
name being suggested by the fact that
the farm was opposite the lower Fred
ericksburg ferry.
George Washington's father died
April l2, 1743, leaving large landed
possessions. Whether he was buried
on the RappahannUcK farm, or wheth-
or his body was taken back to the old
Washington family burying ground on
lower Potomac is not known. He
equeathed the old home place on the
otomac to his eldest son, Augustine.
To his son Lawrence he left the farm
on the Potomac between Hunting
creek and Dogue run, which Lawrence
subsequently named Mount Vernon.
To George, when he should come of
age, he bequeathed the farm on the
Rappahannock.
This house was occupied by Mrs.

Ways Of Raising Money for Charity.


From times immemorial In China, a
donation of 10000 taels to charity has
secured for the donor the much-prized
peacock's feather, while for half that
sum a title of nobility is conferred on
ones ancestors to the third generation.
The late emperor of Brazil followed
the same method when erecting a
hospital in Rio de Janeiro. Having
found difficulty in obtaining the nee
essary funds, he announced that the
title of "baron" was to be conferred on
every subscriber of 100000 milreis and
that of count" on subscribers of 250,.
900 milreis. This announcement pro-
duced the desired effect, and the hos
pital was soon completed. The OPEN

emperor and attended by large mum.
