MAJOR HURLEY'S
 SUCCESSOR EITHER
 CRONAN OR WILSON

In accordance with the announce
 ment made to the Evening Farmer
 some weeks since, Major James J. Hurley has made application for re- tirement 6rom the militia service of the State to take effect March IA. The documents were sent to Hartford last week and have not yet been acted up on. A conference of the active field held at the armory yesterday after noon to unite upon some candidate for whom the Bridgeport contingent may work as a unit. Capt. Louis C.. Her senior officer and the ranking candi date, refused to be considered in con- nection with the vacancy. He is too much interested in his own company to wish for a promotion. Captain George S. Hawes, of the 14th company, and Captain Arthur Bennett of the Fourth company, each refused to a1- low his name to be used for the pro- motion.
 The nomination will be made by the field officers of the entire corps. The resignation of Major Hurley leaves the corps with only two majors. Major his place has not been filled. It is probable that only three majors will be in commission in the future, as three are considered sufficient to han dle the corps.
 The names of Capt. C. B. Wilson, retired, and Stephen P Cronan, re- tired, came up. Opinion was about evently divided between the two
 Major Hurley is one of the best known military men in the State. He has served in the State troops for over 20 years. He is a thorough disciplin- arian and an able talctician. His work has been highly commended many times by the U. S. Army officers who have been detailed to inspect State troops at the field manoeuvres.
 Major Hurley entered the military service November IA. 1890, enlisting in Company F. Fourth Regiment, C. N. G., under Col. James Sheridan. Prev ious to that time he had been the com manding officer of the Bridgeport company of Hfbernian Rifles. On No Vember A. 1892, he was promoted to be second lieutenant. He was made first lieutenant December IS, 1893, and cap tain Decemb mber 20, 1897. On January 20, 1eOO he was commissioned major in the Fourth Regiment, and again commissioned major when the regi- ment was attached to the Third In- fantry on November 16, 1903. In De- 1907. he was transferred to the Coast Artillery Corps.

 SILVER COMPANY
 REDUCES CAPITAL
Statement for 1908 Shows Dis -olution of United States
 Silver Corporation.

The annual statement of the 1nterna- riofTaI Silver Company, which has been issued for the year ending Dec. 31, 1908, will be gratifying, it is said by local bankers, to the stock holders in this City.
 It shows that the United States Sil- Ner Corporation, which contained in it's treasury a large amount of the capital stock of the International Silver Com pany, has been dissolved and its assets transferred to the latter.
 This accounts for the reduction in the amount of common and preferred stock outstanding, and the correspond ing reduction in plant investment and other investment.
 The statement shows a. total of S1,- S65 5s5 written off for depreciation, which is said to indicate that the com pany is pursuing it's policy of squeez- ing out any element of water remain ing in its stock.
 The squeezing process has been so conducted that the total assets of the company, which in 1907 were given as S26 361, ,00e now appear as 15,041, 900. The net earnings for 1908 are given as HS29. 9.597.
 The Holmes & Edwards Company of this city is one of the components of the International Silver Company, and the bonded indebtedness of the local enterprise, amounting to s150,000, is carried in the statement as a portion of the liabilities of the International.

R. P. K. Pressed Metal Go. and Simplex Faucet Go.
 Locate in City.
Former Supported by New York Capital, Latter by
 Massachusetts Men.
Factory Formerly Occupied By Connecticut Tool Com pany in Use-Grant Man ufacturing & Machine Company Will Make Por- tiOnS of FaI1cetS.

Two more concerns which give prom ise of great growth have just located in this city and have already com menced operations. They are the R. P. K. Pressed Metal Go. and the Sim pleX Faucet Co.,, the former is support ed by New York capital and the latter by Boston interests.
 The R. P. K. Pressed Metal Co.,, which is capitalized under the laws of Connecticut for s5O,OO0, has taken the factory in Spruce street, formerly oc- cupied by the Connecticut Tool Co.,. and will engage in the manufacture of special process metal, employing 25 hands to begin with. The president of the concern is H. Mcfarland, and the secretary and treasurer is Arthur RulandS.
 The Simplex Faucet Co. is incor- porated for s100,000 under the laws of Massachusetts with s6e,115 paid in- It has located in the plant of the Grant Manufacturing & Machine Co.,, near the junction of Fairfield avenue and State street. This concern will ern- ploy ten hands in assembling the pro duct. The working force of the Grant Manufacturing & Machine Go. will probably be increased, as it has ar ranged to make the parts of the pro- duct of the new company.
 Charles B. Whit tney, inventor of the faucet, and treasurer of the company, will make his home in this city. He was formerly a resident of Hyde Park Mass. The president of the company is Alfred L. Lovejoy, of Hyde Park, Mass.

EFFORTS TO REFORM
 THE HOUSE RULES
Strenuous Campaign Among Republican Members Pre- paratory to the Line Up Monday Next When
 Speaker Will Be Elected.
Special from United Press.>


 Washington, March S.-A strenuous publican members of the House here preparatory to the lineup Monday when a Speaker will be reelected and rules adopted. Speaker Cannon and his friends are using their utmost ef- forts to arrange the rules suitably. When the powers that rule the House conceded the Calendar Wednesday, rule, which will give every member chance to get a vote on his bills, fa- Vorably reported by committees. they won over at least temporarily a large contingent of the insurgents. They have been dubbed the 'fcold feet bri- gade" of the reformers- Some of the leaders among them are uncertain as to where the enormous power of the Speaker, if taken from him, could be safely placed.
 It is argued, for instance, that if con- trol of the House should be given to a committee of. say fifteen members, a majority of the committee or eight men would be actually in control: Then if five men of the eight should control that majority of the commit tee, the committee would be in the hands of the strong men as at pres ent.
 The straightout insurgents who have the courage to defy the power of the Speaker feel that better times are com ing in the House. The test vote made on the "CaIendar Wednesday" rule showed the Democrats to be solid for reform and that the insurgents, acting with the Democrats, control the situa- tion It would be much more SatlS- factory to the insurgents to have re- form worked out within the ranks of their own party than to form a com bination with the Democrats

MAKING IT HARD FOR PILFERERS
 FROMRAILROAD
Secret Service of New Ha- ven Road Brought to High State of Eff .
 ficiency.
New System of Sealing and Inspection Will Limit
 Area in Which Search for
 Thief Must Be Conducted, Chance. for Watchmen.

Elaborate changes in the system of ealing, freight cars are being worked out by the Freight department of the New Haven railroad.

McMahon is the present chief of the service He is New York man. In 1902 Jerry OBr1en was head of the service James Vallely, a former New York detective sergeant succeeded him. Jack McDonald,- deputy sheriff of Waterbury then did much to perfect the work
 The new seal system is expected to be of great help to the secret service. When loaded cars are received at the Harlem River yards the company,s seal will be placed on them. This seal will be inspected at the yards in East Bridgeport, at New Haven, at Midway and at as many other points on the main line are necessary.
 If a car is all right at this city, and the seal is broken at New Haven, the sleuths will pay their first respects to this city.
 There will be chance for yard watchrnen to be promoted to the se- cret service. These watchmen have been sworn in as special officers. Any of them who shows quality may be promoted.
