A number OF other contests. which
were scheduled for the day proved
unsatisfactory so far as the prizes
were concerned and the unclaimed
prozes will be given at the next play
day, which win be conducted within
the near future.
A crying baby contest which was
planned could not be held. All of the
children we're so amused that they
all laughed and none could become
in the crying state so that the con-
test failed to be pulled off on sched-
ule.
One of the interesting features OF
the day was the hunt in the sand pit
for new gold pennies furnished by
the Marion County Bank. This was
one of the most successful features
of the day in point of interest.
The receipts which were taken at
the stand during the day were quite
large. Mrs. o. A. Busard is in charge
of this and all will be expended on
current expenses in connection with
the day.

The result OF the autopsy showed
that the babes were born alive. This
fact was determined by the water
test administered to the lungs, de-
vulging the unquestionable presence
of air In the lungs, and tests proving
that air had been drawn into the
stomach. One OF the twins in partlc-
ular must have been in the best pos.
sible condition when born. Drs. a.
M. Crane, A. Rhu. and Cononer Hink.

This practically contradicts the
story told by the mother, Mrs. Anna
Rhine, to the effect that not even the
girl sleeping with her knew OF the
birth since some signs OF life must
have been given by the babies and
rot even youth could sleep calmly

REP. HARRISON ATTACKS THE
 DUTY ON TEA
Says It Will Bear Heaviest Upon Poor Man as All Qualities Are Taxed Alike Also Scores Tax on Women's Stockings and Gloves.

Washington, March 27.-A speech by Representative Harrison (Demo- crat, New York; in the House today was heard with more than usual at tention on both sides of the chamber from the interested spectator to the highest in authority. Only once did he refer to the Democratic split and that was in predicting nothing d1h- cult in obtaining the minority vote which would show them solid against the high protective policy.
 Let the Republicans" he said. Sex change their senseless cry of The Full Dinner PaiP for the slogan of country the poor man will pay the tax on coffee.
 "The new taxes upon tea and cof- fee, upon women's gloves and cotton stockings are direct provocation to women's suffrage. If this tarin bill does not bring about the franchise for women, their cause is hopeless. But the most serious aspect of the situa- ton is that these duties are chiefly specific and fall more heavily upon the poor than upon the rich. The tax on tea of eight cents per pound and nine cents if imported from England. will also fall most heavily upon the poorer classes of people for the tax as the finest quality
 Harrison said he hoped to have a chance to kill the Standard Oil joker otherwise the corporation would rest immune from competition behind the wall of the countervailing duty.
 ''I rejoice in a certain feature of the reform in the rules, "he said in con- clusion, adopted by this Congress Without the Fitzgerald amendment we would have been unable to express our party views upon amendments to this bill by a record vote. Under the new rules however. Representa- alive Clark will be expected to move to rec concentrations to amend according to Democratic traditions and principles" !"
 Then, he said, he hoped that the whole steel and iron schedule, boots and shoes lumber. tea and coffee would be placed upon the free list.

WILL INCORPORATE
 UNDER GENERAL LAW
Resolution Incorporating the Billiard Co. to Hold B. < Nj. Stock Withdrawn From Committee of General Assembly

Hartford, March 26.-The re-drafted resolution incorporating the John L. Billiard Company of Meriden to take over the Boston & Maine stock now owned by MT. Billiard 1t was learned to-day. has again been taken away from the joint committee on ;ncorpora- tions. The resolution was brought be- fore the committee yesterday by At torney Frank T. Brown of Norwich but it was again taken away and may not come before the body again.
 The point is that the incorporators, who are stated in both drafts of the resolution to be MT. Billiard. MT. Brown and President Samuel Heminway of the Second National Bank of New Ha- ven, and c. F.. Linsley of that city are considering whether or not the Billiard company cannot be incorporated under the general law and if it is found that this can be done the resolution for a special charter will be withdrawn and incorporation will take place by filing articles with the secretary of state. The resolution last handed to the committee and withdrawn asks for nothing which could not be contained under the general law and includes a capital stock of $5o 000 but it prov des that this shall be paid for in cash or it's equivalent and shall be of one class and issued at par.

 COUPLE WILL
 SAY FAREWELL
MT. and Mrs. Farmer Will Have Last Meeting
 Tomorrow.
Both Under Sentence of Death for Murder.
Mrs. Farmer Will Be Exc cuted at Auburn Prison Monday Morning-She is Reconciled to Her Fate May Make Confession.

 Realizing there is no longer the slightest hope for commutation of her sentence and that the dsath chair has already been tested and found in order, Mrs. Farmer Is spending her few remaining hours in perfect com posture and resignation to her fate, which hundreds of lawyers. petit ons and personal appeals to Governor Hughes have failed to eliminate.
 It is believed to-day that Mrs. Far mer either has or will make a confess sion exonerating her husband for his part in the murder to such an extent that his life may yet be saved. Attor- ney WILCOX confirms the report though as to the purport of the confession he Is silent
 In the final interview between Mrs Farmer and Wilcox he says she gave death march is begun the true story shall be told.
 The leave-taking between the hus- band and wife bids fair to be one of the most tragic events ever enacted within the grim walls of the prison. The oppressive nature of the farewell will be such that prison officials are already in a sombre mood in contem- plation of this final meeting between the condemned pair.
 All speculation as to whether the two would be allowed a final embrace due to Warden Benham's statement that he would not bring them together unless one or the other requested was seat at rest to-day by Jim Farmers simple. pathetic appeal: "Pleeee ask them to let me see Mary" The ap- peal was made to Father Hicky who in turn made 1t to the ward sn. Ben ham at once decided the final meeting of husband and wife should take place tomorrow afternoon.
 Were it not for the fact that prison rules are memorable regarding the maintenance of a death watch over condemned person, the last meeting of the two would be in strictest privacy for none of the attendants relishes the idea of being present.
 At this meeting the disposition to be made of their baby will be discuss ed. Whenever Mrs. Farmer talks of the little. lads destiny she breaks down and weeps. = It is the one time at which her composure deserts her and the mother instinct proves the master. For this reason the mother prefers to let the father have the, dec 'ng word as near as either can have it regard ing the little fellow. .I will leave it all to Jim," she said to-day. q hope. baby will be happy and that no cruel person will ever tell him of the end his parents came to-

KING PETER WILL ACCEPT HIS SONS
 RENUNCIATION
Has Lsng Bees Anxieus to Get Rid of
 Heir te Servian Throne.

Belgrade, March 26.-The belief is practically universal in Belgrade to- day that King Peter will accept the resignation of his son. Crown Prince George, now that the Cabinet has de- cfded that Premier Novalxovitch has no authority to consider the Grown Princes letter Of resiEnation- There is a story current that the Cabinet ad- vised the King not to accept the resig- nation but this is discredited as it is known that the King has long sought some way of getting his degenerate son out of National politics,
 . The leaders of the war party declare that the Crown Prince Is the victim of q plot the purpose of which is to strengthen the position of those who are clamoring for peace. Threats of deposing the King and even hints that his life is in danger have been heard.
 The situation is so serious that the government is calling in troops from the frontier to guard the capitol against riotinR. The Crown Prince is still in the city. The story of the Crown Princes fatal assault upon his valet is still in an indefinite form but is undoubtedly true. The young mans friends are charging that the story was concocted merely to furnish an excuse to force his retirement.

Madame Popcuva Claims to Have Pos
 oned 300 Men in Last 3 Years.

Samar. Russia. March 26.-The police to-day began a thorough investigation of the career of Mme. Popouva who is under arrest here charged with the wholesale murder of undesirable hus- bands. The woman confesses a kill ing 900 men in the last thirty years but the authorities give this as a bit of wierd romancing. They admit how ever that the woman's record is likely to prove her the greatest murderess in Russian history.
 The prisoner says her own unhappy married life led her to connive the idea of ridding other unfortunate wives of cruel husbands and she start ed on her career of crime. She offer ed her service to any wife agreeing to kill the husband by poisoning and charging but a small fee. She says her operations have extended over a large part of the Samara province.
 The police say that no woman could have carried cut the career that Mime. Popouva claims to have led, without almost immediate discovery.

Rushes for His Opponent bat is Restrain.
 ed by Members of the House -EXcit.
 ing lnciden: During the Tariff Debate

Washington. March 26.-A rough and tumble fight was narrowly averted on the floor of the House this afternoon. Representative Fordney, (Republfcan Mich). who was speaking on the ta,ih. for more than half an hour. had been essailed from all sides with questions about the lumber trust. He announced that there wasn't any trust and f1nal- ly becoming irritated and impatient he declared he would answer no quest ons along that line. He did yield however, to Representative Byrd, Democrat, Mtssissippi) Bryd Is an Ind-an. tall and swarthy. He began ask ng Ford ney questions as to a lumber combina- ton or understanding in Mississippi and intfmated that mill owned by Fordney was a part of it. Fordney's s face flushed with anger and he spout ed: That's all buncomb You don't know a damned thing about it.''
 Byrd's eye shone with anger and he started on run toward F'ordney. He dashed down the aisles and when he reached the open space in front of the Speakers stand he began pulling off his coat He was then within 8 few feet of Fordney who was standing in the main aisle. Byrd's pause to get into fighting trim. however, gave half dozen members time to surround him and persuade him to compose himself. When his way toward Fordney was blocked. Byrd walked back and forth in the open space with clenched fists
 
 have it out with the Michigan member. In a few minutes Byrd became more composed and returned to his seat. Then there followed a period of ex- plantations.
 Fordney said that if he had been dis courteous he wished to withdraw his remarks. He said that he had been under great provocation and that no member should have said he (Fordney) was connected with the lumber trust.
 Byrd denied that he said that Ford ney's company was a member of a combination. He asserted. however. that there was lumber combination on the Mississippi as had been discov- cred by legislative investigation and he had simply asked if Fordney's com pany was in it. Fordney said he knew nothing of the investigation and knew very well that his company was not a party to any combination or any un- derstanding- If he had offended the member and had transgressed the rules of debate he would apologize. A frfen l. ly understanding was thus restored and Fordney then proceeded with his speech.

NEGROES AND WHITES
 IN FIERCE BATTLE


 Henrietta, Okla. March 26.-Hickory Ground. the scene of the battle be- tween negroes and deputy sheriff, is quiet today. All roads are guarded and the negroes who took part in the fight have retreated to the woods or are hiding in their hutS. The mem berS of the posse have returned quietly to their homes and 1t is believed there will be no further outbreak.
 Three bodies only were left in the underbrush when the negroes fell back after the first skirmish was over. The number of dead. however, is estima ted at from to 12. It is believed that the negroes took some of the bodies with them and have hastily buried them- It is also said that some of the black hiding in the woods are so se- verely wounded that they will die.
 The whites engaged in the battle are doing all they can to minimize the number of deaths. Only one white man, Deputy Sheriff Timothy Fowler, was wounded. He cannot recover.

PROTECTION OF DEER No One Advocates Extension of Close
 Season Beyond 1911

No One Advocates Extension of Close
 Season Beyond 1911.
 Hartford, March 26.-Various deer bills were considered yesterday before the fish and game commission. One, to permit shooting of deer with rifles, had no advocate and was opposed by Representative H. J. Williams of Bark namsted. Representative Henry B. Russell of Southbury appeared for a bill introduced by him striking out the provision of the statutes that the burden of proof that a deer, killed by anyone. was killed legally, should be upon the man killing the deer. He said the bill was aimed so that a man could kill a deer on his land and that would be all there was to 1t. Com mittee members thought that would mean indiscriminate shooting. MT. Russell thought the deer were getting pretty thick and some should be clear ed out.
 Another bill, introduced by Represen- tative Russell, was to place upon the state the expense of estimating the damage done by deer, as well as pay ing for the damage done. He claim ed that as the state protected the deer it ought to meet all the bills involved therefor. Only MT. Russell spoke for right as it is. The state pays the dam age and the towns can bear the ex- pense of estima ting it.
 A bill extending the present close season two years was not advocated by anyone, and was opposed by Repre- sentative Williams of Barkhamsted. He had twenty deer on his farm and was hopefully waiting for 1911 to shoot some.
 Another bill to allow the shooting of vocate and was opposed by Represen- tative J. w. French of Trumbull.

UP STATE STREAMS
 WE'RE AT FLOOD STAGE.

winsted, March 26.-The streams in this section are gradually receding to- day but it was feared last night that they would break their bounds and do considerable damage. Mad river reached a frsshet height and the dam of the New England Tin Company gave way but fortunately very little damage resulted. Highland Lake, swollen by the heavy downpour was within inches of running over.
 Reports from the outlying sections are of a similar nature. In Norfolk, Conn.,. four inches of snow fell and at Copake, N. Y, just across the state line on the New England Railway, eight inches of snow is said to have fallen.
 New Haven, March 26.-Tle shore is strewn with wreckage to-day as a re- suit of the high tide last night which did considerable damage along the wa ter front. The dock and bath houses in front of the Montowese House at Branford were completely wrecked and the bank was cut out in many places almost to the sidewalk.
