BISHOP SAYS
 NEVER BE CATTY
Gives Advice to Girls of Fashionable School in West End of London.

London, March 2.-The Bishop of London gave some remarkable advice yesterday to the students of a fash ionable girls school in the West End
 The curse of that part of London, the Bishop declared, was not what might be called open immortality, but rather the prevalence of Q catty spirit. By which he meant, he said, the way in which many people spent their lives saying ill-natured things about others. He had known the reputations of good men and good women taken away by this catty spirit so prevalent in West End drawing rooms.
 Never be catS,'' the Bishop advised his young audience. ''There is all the difference in the world between an old maid and an old cat Some of the old maids in London are the most loving and gracious people in it, and you needn't be afraid of being an old maid so long as you are not an old cat.

InAlVW ANlINU OBJECTS TO

Senate Doesn Care if Util-

By Our Special Correspondent) a
 Hartford, March 2.-Senator Man waring of Bridgeport interposed an ob- jection in the Senate to-day to action upon favorable report of the committee on Interpretations upon a bill incor- porating the Baltic Water Co.,, of Bal tic, saying this was one of the mat ters which would properly come be- fore the Public Utilities commission if one were created by the General As sembly, and in view of the fact that the General Assembly was considering such a measure he thought action up- ed that the report be tabled. Sena- tor. Barnum, who is senate chairman of the committee said he had no ob- jections, but did not believe it wise policy to be considered later. When the vote was taken Senator Manwar- ing's motion was lost only four or five voting in it's favor.

Increase In Use of
 Wood Preservatives

An increase from three and one-half million gallons of the oil of coal tar, or creosote, as it is popularly known imported. into the city of New York in 1904, to an amount estimated to be almost twenty-five million gallons last year, is one of the indications pointing to the progress of the nation wide movement for the conservation of for est resources.
 It is creosote which the government and scores of corporations and private wood users have found to be one of the most satisfa ctory presedvatives of railroad ties. mine props, telephone and telegraph poles, fence posts, and for timberS used for other commercial purposes. Lengthening the life of timber in use means the lessening of the drain on the country'S forests, and what is more important to the average business man, it means the saving of thousands of dollars annually spent for the labor of the frequent renewals made necessary when untreated tlnl- Der is used.
 Ten years ago the strongest advO- ca tes of the creosoting method of pre- serving wood could scarcely have hop this industry. Creosoting is becoming the acknowledged standard means of increasing the life of timbers.
 Formerly the production of creosote, from both coal tar and wood tar, far exceeded any demand for wood treat ing purposes. However, the number of wood-preserving plants has grown so rapidly within the last four years that this country is not now able to supply it's own demand for coal tar creoSote.
 A brief study of the importation col umns of the trade journals shows the effect of the growth of the wood pres ervation industry. In the whole year of 1904 the New York imports amount ed to only 3,500,0o0 gallons. By the end of 1907 the importation had in- creased to 17, 500, 600 gallons, while for the present year conservative esti- mates place the imported coal tar creo- sote at between 22 to 25 million gall Ions.

NOON REST MEETINGS
 AT TRINITY CHURCH

No movement among the churches is so remarkable as the effort to interest men in it's message. Time was when mans place in church was to support it financially, while the women and children did the work Today our men are beginning to see that the church has something for them, and they are as interested as the women.
 There is being held at Trinity church, Broad street and Fairfield avenue, a series of very interesting 20 minute rest services each noon, begin ming at 1925. These meetings are per fectly informal. and the addresses are by men who know how to speak to men. The Rev. T. H. Bigelow of St. Luke's, Stamford, will speak this week, Wednesday on 1.-The Savior of the Mind''; Thursday. "The Savior of the Soul'; Friday, "The Savior of Society" These services are free, and men may come or go at any time.

SUPREME COURT
 REAFFIRMS DECISION
Tells New Haven Road that It Should Have no Diff culty in Construing It's Decree.
Especial from United Press.) )

Especial from United Press.) Boston. March 2.-The Supreme Court to-day handed down a decision in the suit of the Attorney General of Massa- chUsetts vs. the N. Y, N. H. & H. R. R. Go. in relation to it's holdings of stock in Massachusetts trolley lines in which the defendant asked for a sup elementary ruling.
 The decree was made as result of a proceeding brought by the Attorney General in 1908 to compel the New York & New Haven road to divert it. self of it's holdings of street railway stock. After the decree was made in 1908 the road asked the court to re- grant the decree so as to make it ap- pear more clearly and most unmistak- ably what it could do and what it could not do- The claim was made that the decree was vague and uncer- tain.
 The court says in part: 'In constru- ing the decreeS in reference to the mat ter stated in the information and re- how the defendant could have doubt in regard to the meaning of the order, or it's duty in the premises
 It was held by the court that there could be seen no possibility of doubt on the part of the defendants in re- gard to the conditions that must come into existence to constitute a perform ance of it's duty to cease to hold or COntTOI 0ilE0F OITeCtly UT IlCHScIly InS stocks referred to in the information.

DUY UT IT WHO KILLED MACRI GETS 5 YEARS Lad Changed Plea in Man slaughter Charge to
 Guilty. Homicide Grew Out of Quar-
 rel Over Woman. Democratic National Com mitteeman Homer Cum mings Makes Eloquent Plea for Clemency for Youthful Client.

In the Criminal Superior Court this morning Judge Bennett sentenced vin- cenzo Fuda of Darien to not more than five. nor less than three years in the state prison. for the killing of Baptiste Macri in Darien, last November.
 The shooting like many others grew out of a love affair. Baptiste was in love with an Italian storekeeper in Darien and F'uda wood the same wom- an. Jealousy sprung up between the men over the woman.
 The latter appeared in the court this morning and created a very favorable Impression with her general good looks and her bearing. Fuda Is but IT years old and of medium size, while BaptiSte was a much larger man.
 By the evidence it was shown that the men had quarreled and were sepa- rated by officer O. the law. They were about two hundred feet apart and Baptiste walking away. when he suddenly whirled about and made a rush for Fuda. at the same time put ting his hand to his pocket
 Fuda, thinking that Baptiste was about to draw a pistol or knife. inn mediately drew pistol which he car ried and shooting over the shoulders of the men who were leading him away shot at Baptiste. killing him almost changed his plea of not guilty to guilty throwing himself on the mercy of the court. His counsel. Attorney Homer Cummings of Stamford. made a most impressive plea for clemency. It was expected that F'uda would be given at least ten years. When the sentence was announced to F'uda he frightened up and said: ''Ob! That's all right 9 although Attorney Cummings said he could not speak a word of English.
 The charge against F'uda was man slaughter.

Mine Owners Have Denied
 All of Employees Demands.
Latter Say that Another Agreement for a Year
 Must Be Made.
Outlook is for Stoppage of All Anthracite Mining April John Mitchell Much Concerned Over Sit uation.
Special from United Press.)


 New York March 2.-Financial cir cles are troubled to-day over the situa- tion in the anthracite coal fields The Peace Agreement" which has been in effect since 1903. expires with the pres ent month. It may not be renewed If it is not the hard coal district is likely to again be tied up and the fight be- tween the mine owners and their em- ployes will be re-fought and this time to finish.
 While no one will admit belief that the strike must come, the leaders in the anthracite field shrug their should CTS when questioned as to the exact conditions and refuse to talk. This is true both as to men like President Baer of the Philadelphia & R ading, Truesdale of the Lackawanna and the officers of the Mine Workers organiza- tion. As one of them aptly put it to- day: We hope for the best but we fear for the worst.''
 The miners have framed their new demands and submitted them unoffi- cially and they have been rejected The owners intimate that they may have to reduce wages. the men declare that they will have to increase them. The mine owners say they are not making money with a nine hour work day, the miners declare they will have to concede an eight hour day. The proprietOrS declare the present con- clildIOry DOarO system QeV1SeQ by Judge Gray must remain. the workers declare the system must be modified and arrangements made for settling matters in dispute by Mutual Agree ment" plan. One year agreements are asked by the workers while the bosses say that any agreement made must be three years or not at all.
 Both sides are openly preparing for trouble while denying that thev expect it. The miners say that If the com panies do not sign a new wage before March 31 they will go ahead and force settlement along the lines they want.
 One man here greatly concerned over the outlook is John Mitchell, former president of the Mine Workers. While he declined to be quoted as to the strike outlook he admitted that the fact that the operators have agreed to refuse all of the demands of the men has a sinister outlook. Do you expect a striker" he was asked. "It would not be proper for me to speak on that natter he replied. From oth er sources it was learned. however. that MT. Mitchell fears a strike cannot be avcrted because of the temper of both sides.
