THEY WANT MEDICATION

Early next month, Bridgeport will Aold city election and will then elect Mayor, Aldermen and other officials. In view of the more notable events of the Lee administration, it should not be necessary to remind voters that if they disapprove those events they should look well to their nominations ard see to it that their candidates shall represent their views and none else The initial step is in the prl- maries which name the men who Will make the nominations; errors therein made cannot be rectified and their evil consequences will appear in the nominations afterward to be made by the city convention.
 The present situation is peculiar. Mayor Lee whose part in the harbor line and car barn surrenders was prominent and effective and who, ac- cording to our esteemed contemporary, the Standard, should be given an op- portunity of doing more in the same line.'' is understood to desire a vind1- cation by the peop1e--that is, the ap- plication of a thick coat of whitewash SA-O polls. The local machine also desires vir:dication Of the same nature and for practically the same reason, And the railroad company may also de- sire yindication from the attacks of sdema gogues'' and corporation bait ers,'' in which classification this pa her has heretofore been placed and which favor is now gratefully acknowl- edged and accepted. Perhaps also the road is under an implied, if not ac- tual. obligation to reward those who held their duty to Bridgeport in abey- ance while they carried the roads pro- jects to accomplishment. Vindication of the road would be, in effect, a rat ification of the harbor line and car barn surrenders by the people.
 Upon the Republican side, then, the campaign is to be one for vindicat1on and, incidentally, for a license to do ..rnore in the same line.' Despite cur rent runors "take no stock. in any material Republican revolt against s Mayor. Lee The machine is all pow erfuL in tits party; the privates are mere autonata, with no desire to think for themselves and without the ability to act upon their own opinions if by some inexplainable chance they should have any. If ratification of the harbor line and car barn surrenders can be secured by solid Republican vote to such effect, we do not doubt that it will be given, in the form of a vindication of Mayor Lee, the local machine and the railroad company.

CASE OF WOMAN AGENT PENDING

Hartford. Oct 13.-D. J. Holman. the loan agent. whose agent, Dora Grif- fifth, was convicted a few weeks ago in the superior court of collecting usurious amounts for loans and sen tenced to pay fines amounting to $6,- GOO and to be sent to jail for sixty days has thrown up his hands. shut up his cffice in the Waverly building on Main street and gone out of business as far as Hartford is concerned. For a couple of days the employees have been pack ing up the desks and furniture in the Holman offices in the Waverly build ing. and yesterday everything was packed up ready for shipment.
 Holman was celebrated for having a chain of loan offices from one end of the country to the other and for sew eral years in Canada, before the lines were drawn so tightly that he aban- doned the Canadian field and worked the principal cities of the Union. For 2, long dime the Hartford police de- partment was on his track in the en- deavor to secure testimony that would convict him of exacting usuriouS charges for loans. His agent was ar rested several months ago and upon a conviction being secured the case was appealed to the supreme court where Judgment is now pending.

Judge Anderson of the U. s. District court, before whom an attempt is be- ing made at Indianapolis to transfer to Washington the trial of Messrs. Smith and Williams of the Indianap- oliS News upon a charge of criminal libel for having intimated that there was graft" in the purchase of the Panama Canal, said on Monday that "the whole Panama canal project is a great political project; that "the press has a duty to perform and in political discussions it seems to me that the conception of libel should be greatly different from the conception that should apply to a case of libel on a persons private character" and that liberty is best preserved by passing over some aspects of an all ieged libel of this nature now under consideration which should not be passed over, in a libel case of person al Or private character
 - The principle thus stated by Judge Anderson has long been rule of ac- tion by newspapers, and they have sometimes suffered thereby. So far as we recall, Judge Anderson is the first to assert it from the bench. In sub- stance, it is that newspapers should have a wider latitude. in discussing public and political issues than in treating purely personal matters, and that they should not be subjected to the pains and penalties of libel suits when thus performing a manifest du- ty to the public.
 Later.-Judge Anderson denied the motion to remove the case to Wash ington for trial, saying:
 That man has read the history sf our institutions to little purpose, who does not view with apprehension the success Of such a proceeding as this to the end that citizens could be drag ged from their homes to the District of Columbia, the seat of government for trial under the circumstances ot this case.
 I am of the opinion that the fact that certain persons were called thieves and fswindlers' does not con- stitute libel per SC. A newspaper has a certain duty to perform. As for mer President has said, it is the duty of newspaper to print the news and to tell the truth about it. It is the duty of newspaper to draw infer ences for the people.

Elsewhere in this issue there ap- pears somewhat bitter complaint as to the condition of "State roads" We regret to admit that it is well found- ed. Our state roads, such of them as ent year. are mostly in bad condition. There seems to be an erroneous inn pression that these roads cannot de- teriorate and will never need repairs. As a matter of fact, they do deterior- ate, though not so rapidly but that comparatively slight expenditures at the proper times would maintain them in excellent condition and completely estop such complaints as the one re- ferred to.

Several months ago, a magazine ar tiele eu1ogistic of the late MT. Harri- man asserted that he cared more for power than wealth and was. there fore, not in the multimillionaire class, the inference evidently intended to be carried being that though opportuni- ties for great enrichment were at his hand, he had not grasped them. It now appears that he left $267 ,000,00 to his wife, after having given $30, 900 900 to his children and $3.000,000 to other relatives. To accumulate 900,000000 he must not only have grasped oppor- tunities but must have made them.

The New York, New Haven & Hart ford Railroad Co.,, has finally, despite prolonged opposition from the State of Massachusetts,, practically obtained control of the Boston & Maine road. It mas taken several years and some roundabout strategy to complete the task, but the persistence of this cor poration in pushing it's plans is well known, particularly in Bridgeport.
 The company now controls, practi- cally. the railroad system of New England, and we do not doubt that is power will be wisely used and will not be exercised to the injury of this section but rather to it's benefit in so far as- transportation facilities are concerned.

MORAN SAVES ATLANTA.
Bartley Severely Punished But Makes
 Thrilling Escape.

Atlanta, May 29.-The fielding of Moran was the biggest thing about the game between Atlanta and Mobile today. In the sixth inning Benson hit to deep cen ter while Sabrie was on second where he had gone on his own double. Moran got the ball just as Benson reached first and made a straight throw to the plate. The ball went directly into the hands of Mo Murray and Sabrie was tagged out In the eighth Thornton hit to deep center and again Moran, who was playing left, got the ball. Thornton tried for third, but Moran threw to Walker and got him Walker made both of the runs for At lanta. Bartley. who pitched his second game for Atlanta, gave up nine hits. The

Races at Belmont.

New York, May 2s.-(Special.) )-Jack At kin suffered his second consecutive defeat of the season at Belmont park this ait ernoon. The great colt was taken into camp by Live Wire in the Cosmopolitan handicap and lost the prize by three- quarters of a length. Jack AtlNn lost the race in the stretch drive. Swinging around the turn for home, Lee, who was riding Live Wire, shook the whip at his mount and the colt began to creep up on Atkin. Head by head they dashed toward the wire. but slowly Live Wire cut down the lead until the spurt at the last sixteenth he stuck his head in front. Lee then sat down and rode hard and sailed under the wire a safe victor. Roseben came to life in the third event The big colt was not figured to be able to beat McCarter and McCarter was first choice at Il to 20 He was beaten for the place by Black Mate, a 50 to 1 shot.

Griffith Offers Him and Savidee For
 Seasoned Catcher.

The report in Birmingham yesterday that, Clark Griffith, manager of the Gin cinnati Reds, has offered Mccain Robin son and Ralph Savdige both to Mon treal and to Washington in return for a seasoned backstop caused dismay in the ranks of the fans.
 The success of the trade has not been learned and couldn't be last night
 Manager Molesworth states that he is very anxious to acquire Robinson, but that he has no right whatever to in terfere with any plans of Griffith. The contract between the two clubs is plain, Molesworth says, and he has no right to interfere prior to June 15.

GAMES TODAY.
Little Rock at New Orleans.

Little Rock at New Orleans
 Grant Schopp was master of the situa- ton from the opening of the engagement until the Travellers had gone out in the ninth.
 The visitors had no opportunity to score and but once were they in position where a single would have sent one across the pan. But one man got to second and Sentz in the sixth reached the keystone when two were down. Then Perry famed.
 The final score was 3 to O.
 Schopp's effort was even more mas terful than that of Fullenwider Friday. Each man allowed the same number of hits, but no marvellous exhibition of field ing was necessary for the establishment of the Baron's record As a matter of fact, schopp needed very little assist anee as is indicated in the small num- Der of assists. Eight pop flies were de- voured by the Baron outfelders.
 McGIvray's Timely Swattng.
 The Barons scored in the first inning as a result of d base on balls, an er- TOT, and bit of exceedingly bad judg- ment on the part of Collins. With one down Ellam was passed McGilvray flied out to sentz. Raftis went safe on Flood s error and Ellam raced around to third. The double steal was initiated then and Collins, who received the throw from Casey, made no effort to retire Ellam at the plate Raftis, after d chase, was run to earth.
 The other Baron runs were earned and both were hammered across by McGil- vray. In the third Schopp opened with a luscious bingle over second. Molesworth sacrificed him to second and McGilvray smashed him across the pan. The third run came in the eighth. After Schopp had famed Molesworth doubled to right, went to third on Ellams out to the in field and scored when McGilvray singled to center.
 In the first inning with one down, Flood singled but was left on first. In the fifth Collins opened with a single but Raftis hurled him out at second on forced play. Tarleton, who was safe at first, was left there. In the sixth, with one down, Cocash singled and was safe on second while Flood was thrown out at first by Kane. Perry retired the side by flaming
 In the seventh Sentz, to begin with, was int with the ball. He remained on first, however, until three were retired. In the eighth, Casey, first up, was walked He stood still, however, while three went out in d row. In the ninth Perry, first up, was passed, and he re- mained on first while three were retired in rapid succession.
 No team ever played safer game than Little Rock yesterday. Schopps twirling was decidedly the feature, while splendid and graceful work by Bowen lent zest to the conflict.
 The game was played in rapid time and was witnessed by an immense throng of people.
