STANDARD OIL CONTROLS LOCAL
 STEAMER LINE
Gets New York and Bridge port Transportation Line
 With Chesapeake & Ohio.

The taking over of the Chesapeake & Ohio railroad by the Standard Oil Company will have it's effect upon the business of this city, for with the railroad the Standard Oil Company will acquire control of the New York &. which operates an independent line of steamers between Bridgeport, New Haven and New York.
 A Pfttsburg dispatch to the New York Herald yesterday brought infor- nation of the change in the control Of the c. & O. The Standard is getting ready to handle, with this road, much of the rich coal tonnage of West vir- ginia and Ohio to the lakes was the announcement made here today.
 This bold announcement that the Standard will compete for the shipment of coal to the lakes has caused con- strenation among. other lines. For some time the Chesapeake & Ohio has been giving a rate three-tenths of a mill per ton per mile less than the actual cost of hauling.
 The New York & Bridgeport Trans portation Company was organized orig inally to give the Chesapeake & Ohio an outlet into New England. The change in ownership of the line will be far reaching if the plans already pro- posed are carried out. These contem- plate the development of the line and it's extension to Boston.
 The transportation company IS now located at it's new dock at the foot of Pembroke street. The only change in the force in this city is the resigna- ton of the commercial agent, N. H. Milliken. MT. Milliken has accepted a position with the Singer Sewing Ma chine Company at Valparaiso. Chill. J. F. Grandfield will remain in this city as the agent of the company.

MELLEN PLEADS WITH GOVERNOR
Calls Upon Chief Executive and Holds Half Hour
 Conference.
Said That He Asked Glenn ency for All Illegal Acts Committed by the New Haven Railroad.
Especial from Unit ed Press.)

Boston. Feb. 9.-President Charles s. Mellen of the New York, New Haven X Hartford Railroad and Timothy V. Byrne, vice-president, went to the state house to-day and are said to have pleaded with Governor Draper to for give all of the illegal acts of this great corporation. The session lasted more than half an hour and created tremen- dous interest on Beacon Hill
 governor Draper with Attorney Gen. eral Daniel Malone at his side heard the statements of the railroad mag mates. It is said on the best of au- thor1ty that he gave the visitors abso- lutely no promise. When the governor emerged from the session he smiled When Malone came out he laughed gleefully. Mellen looked as though ne had lost all of his fl lends and Bryne declared that he had nothing to say.
 In response to the demands of the legislature the talk on Beacon Hill was to-day that the New Haven road would confess all of it's errors Th;s IS to be done to-day The visit of Mellen and his assistant was to get promise of legislative clemency for the acts that the grasping corpor ton has committed. It is rumored that the railroad will confess fully to the acts but that it will not admit that they were violations of the law. It is doubt ful if such visit as Mellen made to the governor of Massachusetts ever had precedent in this or any other state. The last time Mellen went to Beacon Hill he was at a mercer meet ing and he was in anything but a con- trite mood

MAYOR DON'T
 CARE WHAT
 COUNCIL DOES
Comes to Hartford With Re- iected Amendment in His Pocket.
.Rv Our Special Correspondent.)

By Our Special Correspondent
 Hartford, Feb. 9.-Mayor Lee, ot Bridgeport came to Hartford to-day with a list of amendments to the char ter of the City of Bridgeport which have been acted upon by the common council of that city and it was his intention to have them presented to-. day. but Representative Clark of Bridgeport. who will introduce them, desired a little more time to look them over. They will probably be intro duced tomorrow.
 The indications are that the Mayors amendment for permanent paving commission. which was rejected by the common council, will be introduced de- spite the action of the council. The mayor is in favor of the commission.
 The amendments suggested by the Fire commission of Bridgeport, provld- ing that two permanent assistant chiefs be appointed, and giving the commission control of the location of fire hydrants and power to determine their number, which did not meet with the favor of the common council, will also be introduced.

Mayor Lee narrowly escaped being compelled to break tie on a vote on the provision attaching q referendum to all the charter amendments, last night.
 The Mayor was saved this duty by Alderman John Tague, a member Of the Charter Revision committee, who insisted that the provision submitted by Alderman Morrissey required all the provisions of the charter to be voted upon at one time. as year ago.
 The minority report, submitted by MT. Morrissey, which was read by Clerk Gill, distinctly declared that he had offered plan for blanket amendment to the Revision committee which had been rejected.
 The present plan was, the report said, designed to overcome this obJec- tion It distinctly provided that no part of the charter should be submit ted except upon five per cent of the voters making petition to the council It was further distinctly provided that the voters so petitioning might require the submission of any part or parts section or sections"
 A ripple of de~isive laughter went around the room as Alderman Iague raised this unique objection. The rip ple changed to an amused smile as the Alderman asked the Mayor if his view of the matter was not correct, while the Mayor responded with great firm ness that the Alderman was indeed quite correct.
 The amendment, suggested by MT. Mo~rissey provided that the manner or voting upon any part or parts sec ton or sections of the new charter should be, as to the way in which the ballots should be cast, counted and reported. the same way as was used last year when the whole charter was voted upon at one time.
 Alderman Tague seized upon this manner of voting. as the evidence or his allegation that the people Woulo not be permitted to vote upon any paFt of the changes, but only upon the whole of them.
 Alderman Brock, not having farnll- iarized himself with the measure, ac- cepted the views of Alderman Tague.
 The referendum was beaten by a vote of IA to g. The Republican Aldermen voted as a unit against 1t.
 Mayor Lee made a speech some two long, from his position as presiding officer, in which he denounc- ed the principle of referring charter changes to the people in sweeping terms. The amendment follows:
 ."This act shall not take effect untll go days after it's passage, and 1t In the meantime five per cent. of the cleo tors of said city of Bridgeport shall pe- tition for the submission of any part or parts, section or sections or salo act then said part or parts, section or sections shall not take effect unless by the electors of the city of Bridgeport at the annual meeting of said city to be held in November, 1909. and in the warning for said an- nual meeting notice shall be given to the electors of said city that the ques. ton of the approval, or dlsapproval ol i Srcb mart or parts section or sections, | of this act will he voted, upon.
 .'The voting shall be conducted m the manner described in Sec. 149 Of the charter. The ballots shall be cast ana counted and returned as provided therein"
