PUBLIC UTILITIES OUTLOOK,
THE COMMITTEE DIVIDED.
Friction on Question of Giving Com
mission Power Over Rates.

Hartford, July 9.-It begins to look
Rs IL there would be no public utilities
commission authorized this session
The special committee which has been
trying to draft bill is divided over
the question of giving a commission
power over rates and il is doubtful If
the house will pass such a bill if it is
reported. On the other hand, the more
radical members of the house will
hardly vote for any bill which doesn't
have this In 1t and many of them have
already decided that they will not vote
for anything IL they cannot get what
they want.
The present railroad commission is
20 be continued, in any case, with
somewhat enlarged powers, and a new
commission would have charge of all
other public utilities. This double-
headed system is not pleasing to some
OF the legislators, who insist that they
would rather have present conditions
than change of this kind. It is a
certainty, however, that nothing will
be done to the end of discontinuing the
present railroad commission.
The great expense of maintaining
two commissions, or even but one
which had five members, is so far out
of proportion TO the good which could
result when commission had merely
recommendation powers as to make it
seem wise to many members not TO
saddle onto the state the heavy drain
on the treasury at a time when Con-
necticut hardly knows which way to
turn for money.

Washington, July 9.-No time was

Manner Of Selecting House conferees

But The two leaders are not so san

Ference reports adopted speedily after
they have been presented to the house

the house conferees were selected by
Speaker Cannon Is occasioning much
criticism in the house, and an effort is

LEPER RAISED CHICKENS
FOR WASHINGTON MARKET.
J. r. Early Gives Reception at New
York Hospital to Prove That He Has
No Disease.

New York. July 9.-John r. Early
the young southerner. heralded abroad
as a leper, gave a reception tonight to
prove that he is well. 1t was held at
the New York skin and cancer hospital
and was attended by medical men, a
number of Early's friends and a
sprinkling of the general public inter-
ested in the case.
Early.who recently came from Wash
ington. where he had been locked up
for nearly a year, received his guests
cordially and discussed his recent iso-
lation.
The reception was arranged By DIR. L.
ID. Bulkeley. the specialist, who brought
Early here to show that there is moth
ing leprous about the man.
Early related a humorous incident at
the expense of the Washington au-
thorities.
What did you do when they had you
shut up?" he was asked.
Il raised chickens" he said, "and
both the chickens and their eggs were
sent into washington and sold in the
open market. They would not let my
wife come within ten feet of me. but
they had a watchman who brought me
food. He took no special precautions
about it, either"
If Early had been a leper those
eggs might have spread the disease all
over Washington added DR.. Bulkeley
III ii had been infectious at all the
eggs would have carried It,"
r What Early had, DIR. Bulkeley ex-
planned is simple Inflammation OF the
skin, produced by the alkali used IN the
pulp mill where he formerly worked in
North Carolina.

The car was running at about %
miles an hour. At curve where four
highways cross, et is said that the
street lamp was out, and that Motor
man Fletcher, mistaking a lamp fur
ther on for the one marking the curve,
had no time to shut off the power and
slacken speed. AS a result the car
was ripped from its trucks and hurled
As feet across the highway where it
brought up violently against a tree.
A hurry call was sent for physicians
from this town and Warren and Riv-
erside. and the most seriously injured

FLATsUsH MURDERER TALKS.
His Version of the Moral to Be Drawn
from Staber Murder.

New York, July 9.-Frank Schmidt,
alias John Smith, alias Frederick
Schleimer, the wounded burglar with
a prison record behind him. who ad
mits killing Mrs. Sophia Staber in her
bedroom doorway early yesterday
morning, when he was caught robbing
the Staber house at Flatbush, L. l..
gave the district attorney today his
version of the moral to be drawn from
the murder.
Mr.. Staber and his son are the ones
to be blamed for this killing" he says.
They were fools to try and stop such
men as US when all we wanted was to
make a getaway. If we had been left
alone there wouldn't have been no
shooting.
IF Mr. Staber will take a gun will
gladly stand up in front of him and
let him shoot till 1 drop dead. That's
how much I regret this affair"
In visit tonight TO the rooms which
the burglars occupied the police discov-
cred what they said might be clue to
the murder of Samuel Bersin, a paint
err whose dismembered body wrapped
in oilcloth was found in an East Side
street a month ago.
The police found in the rooms a
piece of black oilcloth which they say
is identical in quality. color and make
with that in which Bersin's body was
wrapped. Also they found a long rope
of the same texture as that with which
Bersin's body was tied.

sion lasting nearly four hours the
Philippines tariff bill and the bill au-
tomatically continuing the Porto Ri
can budget were passed the senate.

GIVEN AT DORCHESTER HOUSE
BY Ambassador and Mrs. Whitelaw
Reid in Honor of the King and Queen
and Princess Victoria.

London. July 9.-Practically all the
members OF the royal family at present
in London were the guests at Dor
chester house this evening on the oc-
casion OF the dinner and dance given
by the American ambassador and Mrs.
Whitelaw Reid in honor of the king
and queen and Princess Victoria. This
was the second time since Mr.. Reid's
incumbency at the embassy that the
king dined with him. but this evening,
for the first time. Queen Alexandra and
Princess Victoria accompanied his
majesty.
The dance which followed the dinner
was one of the most brilliant of affairs
and, outside Of royal courts probably
has not been surpassed for splendor
and the prominence OF the guests.
These included, besides the royal
guests, the leaders in the political and
social world Of England and many
Americans.
Dorchester house. which is so well
fitted for large entertainments. was
beautifully decorated. Crimson rambler
roses and white hydrangeas were large
iy used in the scheme, which proved
most effective. The grand stairway,
which leads directly from the main en-
trance to the library. was bordercd by
banks of ramblers. while the groups df
statuary in the halls were surrounded
and plants colored lights were pis.ced.
creating a very pretty effect
Dinner was served at two large fa~
bles. decked with every variety of
orchids. OF which the queen Is so fond.
The music, always a feature at Dor

an even grander scale than usual.

With all It's beauty Dorchester house
was surpassed in brilliancy by the tenn
poryry supper room which was erected
over the north terrace and lawn. This
in reality was large tent but so skill

were let into the sides and giant chan
deliers hung from the ceiling. throwing
out a light that was almost dazzling.
This. however. was relieved by row
after row Of flowers which covered
| every bare space and the delicately
| tinted walls and ceilings.
One end OF the tent was left open,
the only screen being the shrubbery,
which was interlaced with a myriad of
colored lights. making a pretty back
ground and at the same time allowing

king and queen and other members Of

hosts and friends the center tables
and were loud in their praise OF ths

refused last night, but today when he
secured the services of Ratchelder,
who was graduate in science of Nc
