A Crying Shame.

AS a rule Yale is as delightful a
little city as can be found on the map
of Michigan or any other state. AS a
rule law and order prevail in our
midst As rule Yale gives to her
maids and matrons that honor, respect
and courtesy that is their due, for Yale
feels that nowhere are there prettier
maids nor comelier maidens.
But, alas! lately these rules have not
always been kept. Of late it has some
times been most unpleasant for our
maids and matrons, our wives and
sweethearts, because of the rudeness of
some "wouldbe sports" These tin
horn arrangements of conceit and asin-
Unity, when they get small beer in
them or a smell of whisky, begin to
feel that they are absolutely the most
attractive specimens of humanity ex-
tant. Especially do they feel that this
is true in regard to the other sex. No
lady, they seem to think, could pos
sibly resist their charms.
Working upon this mistaken prem
ises they seat themselves somewhere
along the sidewalk and proceed to "get
friendly" Last Saturday number of
our ladies were insulted by these pests.
Doubtless "they didn't mean anything
by it," but there is no reason why our
wives or our daughters must submit to
being called "baby DEAR" sweetheart" I"
"honey girl" and other pet names,
simply because they have business that
must be attended to down town on
a Saturday night. Two of our ladies
were thus accosted, and when they hur-
ried past. they were yelled at, to the de-
light of the drunken loafers that were
standing around. "Come back till we
kiss YOU" "0h, now don't be so
naughty" and few other like express
sions.
Some may be inclined to look upon
this as little matter, but it is not. 1t
ought not to be passed by; but for the
sake of decency. for the sake of our
good name, for the sake of our wives
and daughters and for the sake of the
business men who desire their trade,
this thing must be stopped.

CONFERENCE TODAY
 ON HATTERS' STRIKE
(snecial from United Press.)

Especial from united HreSS)
 Danbury, June 3.-While some of the more optimistic members of the Unit ed Hatters' Union of North America seemed convinced that today's confer ence would bring to an end the five months struggle in which they have engaged, others were less hopeful and when the committee went into session this afternoon opinion as to the out come was widely divided. The strik- CTS are represented by officers of the National Union. They are meeting the Rev. J. H. Kennedy, pastor of St. Jo- seph's Roman Catholic church, and Rev. H. E. Meserve, pastor of the First Congregational church, who while not officially elected as representatives of the manufacturers are understood to be empowered to discuss a compromise and report to the manufacturers, the latter being bonded by the association to take no action as members of that organization.
 The pastors, it is generally believed. hope to announce an acceptance of terms by the manufacturers.

CHANGE OF MASS MEETING
 TO FIRST METHODIST CHURCH

The mass meeting designed to elicit the sympathy and generosity of citi- zens toward the Armenian sufferers will be held next Sunday, 3:3O D. m. in the First M. F.. church. The kind nesss of MT. Jackson in offering Smiths Theatre for this purpose will be appreciated just the same, but the necessary expenses incident to theatre service make it seem best to change to a church. The Quartette of the Park street Church will sing and a cornet will lead the congregational singing.
 Rev Mir Beard, chairman of com mittee of arrangements, and other cit izens will make remarks. The con ditions arising from the wholesale slaughter of life and destruction of property are still acute and the want and sorrow are dreadful. Dr. Papa zian will not only portray these, but give realistic description of the whole situation in the mysterious em- pire of Turkey.

Potter of the B. & O. railroad, and officials of the Interna- tional Union of Machinists headed by its president, James OConnell, looking toward an amicaible adjustment of the differences between the machinists em- ployed by the B. & O., owing to the introduction and operation of the wage system to which the men object, a strike was called by the union offic- ia1s today.

Attorney Warehouse Tells Committee on Utilities Bill It Was to Lure Bus mess House Into Bad
 Contracts.
Warm Discussions Charac- terize Hearing on Rates of Public Service Corpora tions-Price of Electrici- tv in Norwalk 5 Cents Per Kilo Watt.
(By Our Staff Correspondent.)

(By Our Staff CorrespOndent)
 Hartford, June 3.-Tke same legis- lative agents, corporation lawyers, special pleaders for, the interests and that ilk, whose faces are as familiar at the capital as those of the pictures that hang on capitol walls, were on hand before the legislative commit tee on the public utilities bill yester- day afternoon. They were trying to sweep back the tide of public opinion with a broom, and their efforts were not greeted with much success. One of the most remarkable features of these hearings is the apparent fut1l- ity, not to say childishneSs, of the ar guments that were offered against the bill. The difference however was not in the arguments. but rather in the were in fact the same old arguments, some of which have whiskers and some of which are so ancient that they played tag with Methuselah Connecticut legislators once listened with their mouths open for the next pearl of oracular wisdom to drop, now command no attention, Or if by chance their arguments are enectlve who know little about the merits of a utilities bill will learn that this or that oracle is against it and slowly drawl, "W-a-a-l1, if Sam is agin the bill it must be all right. I never knew nuthin that Sam said to turn out the way he said it"
 The hearing yesterday was on rates. s. c. Morehouse, who represented the electric interests in the hearings on the repeal of statute relating to the sale of electricity, represented this branch of monopoly. John w. filling represented the Southern New Eng land Telephone Company and Attor- NaW Haven railroad company.
 Judge John E. Fisk of Rockville, Representative Bennett of Norwalk. Mayor Dunn of Wiilimantic, Ex. New Haven. Ralph O.5Wells, secretary of the utilities commission and many others appeared in favor of com mission which will have power to fix rates. The hearing continued until 5:30 o'clock and was resumed to-day.
 Again the United Illuminating Co.,, of Bridgeport and New Haven figured in the proceedings. MT. Tingler Of happened that the Bridgeport Com pany could sell electricity to the How land Company for 1-2 cents per kilo- watt.
 reply: "They made it in order to load up a rival concern with unprohtable contracts"
 Rep. Bennett, of Norwalk, asked MT. Morehouse, how he accounted for the ability of Norwa1k to sell electricity at 5 cents per kilo watt. MT. Morehouse replied that the superintendent of the Norwalk plant was a particularly able man and that not enough deprecia- ton was charged off the plant.
 Senator Peck asked MT. Robbins why the railroad company charges IS cents per hundred on freight from Danbury to New York and F from New York to Danbury.

ANGRY WORDS MARK SENATE
 PROCEEDING
Senator Stone Jumps on Aldrich Today Over the German Tariff Statement, Charging Him with Being "GroSsly Impertinent.''
Special from United Press.)


 Washington, June 3--Angry words between Senator Stone Democrat. Missouri,) and Chairman Aldrich of the Finance committee over the Ger man tariff statement which recently caused much comment in the Senate, marked today's proceedings. Aldrich intimated that Stone appeared as a representative of the German govern ment and Stone thereuDon charged Aldrich with being grossly imperti- nent."
 Stone remarked that in view of Ald- rich's prominence he was not surprised that the Rhode Island Senator's indict- ment of the German government last week had received notice and had given offense to that nation.
 This brought Aldrich to his feet with the statement: "I said nothing about the German government but a bout German manufacturers who fur nished information. said their names should be withheld and that it be not used in the enforcement of our customs laws. There is no question about the German government here. It simply forwarded the information" .'I disagree on that statement of fact" exclaimed Stone. ''The one thing under discussion was the Ger man report" When the report is printed" said Aldrich, you will see that the German manufacturers sought to influence our tariff legislation by

 AMENDMENTS
 NOT PRINTED
Chairman Scott Says Rep resentatives from This City Are Responsi-
 ble for Situation.
Imprinted, Legislators Will Not Have Subject Matter Before Them and IncIu- sion of "Jokers" Will Be Easy.
(By Our Staff Correspondent }


 Hartford, Conn.,, June 3.-House Chairman Scott of the Committee on Cities and Boroughs stated to-day that the reason the amendments to the charter of Bridgeport, favorably re- ported by the committee. had not been printed is a matter for the representa- tives from Bridgeport to decide.
 MT. Scott said that the state of Con- necticut did not assume the expense of printing private acts such as these are. Wonder has been expressed because the Bridgeport amendments have not been acted upon. They have been favorahly reported and have been cal endared for almost two weeks. Unless someone acting for the city of Bridge port places an order for their printing the members of both branches of the legislature, when the amendments are finally taken up for passage, will have to content themselves with such knowl- edge concerning these amendments as may be imparted upon the floor by those who have a partisan interest in their passage.
