The old man is now afflicted with acute ma ria, the result of various injuries to his head. lie iinagines that he is pursued by relentless foe who is aim ing to have him cremated. Other de- Iusions are that he is heinz poisoned through a conspiracy to get him out of the way.

Hartford Report Says that Foster Slate Is Opposed By Major Portion of Ju- dietary Committee.
Especial to the Farmer.)


 Hartford, March 1.-One of the most influential members of the General Assembly who was in Hartford today announced that United States Senator Brandegee had released his friends on the Judiciary committee, whom he had requested to await his pleasure before commit ting themselves on the Bridge port City court fight, with the result that the Brandegee men will support the HulI-Gould slate because Repre- sentative Fred Bartlett who is a mem Der of the committee, is favorable to that slate. The Farmers informant said the committee was virtually com mitted to anything that Bartlett wants. at least a saf emajority of that body leaned that way.
 There Jill he some votes for the Foster slate, he said, when the com mittee takes action, but the majority will be for the Hull and Gould com b1- nation. The committee has been inn pressed with the good work of Prose cutor Delaney and would like to see him retained in the court, but inas- much as DeLaney's name is not be- fore them they can take no action up- on the matter. It can be said that the so-called charges which the Pas tors Association of Bridgeport tried to get to the attention of the com mittee in which MT. Delaney was criticised for his conduct of the office of prosecutor reached the committee in an unofficial way but had absolute ly no effect upon it.

the gambling in Cotton Futures is like ly to faii as is also the Currier Copy right bill. There have been about 3S- 900 bills introduced out of which one and a quarter per cent. have become laws. This small percentage includes a large number of pension laws for the benefit of individuals. Less than BOO public bills will become laws.
 Among a large number of treaties with foreign countries ratified by the Senate most of them being treaties of arbitration, extradition or naturaIiza- ton, perhaps the most important were that with Great Britain governing the United States and of the boundary waters between the United States and Canada and those with Panama and Columbia. The extradition treaty with Honduras removed the last haven of refuge for criminals fleeing from this country and being made retroactive has caused quite a scare among the criminal colony in that country.

CONSPIRED TO DEFRAUD THE
 GOVERNMENT
John LekaS Held for Trial Nicholas James ParOlOa Turned, States Evidence and Escaped.

U. s. Commissioner E. B. Peck today held John Lekas for trial before the May term of the United states Clrcult court which sits at Hartford, and fix ed his bonds at $50 on each of three counts of conspiring to violate the
 statutes of the United States in ob- taining first papers for Nicholas James ParyIou The latter turned States evidence and was discharged on recom- mendation of the attorney for the gov ernment.
 ParvIou applied for first papers in the Superior court of this county in December. It was afterwards discov- cred that his answers did not tally with those he gave when he passed the immigration bureau Investigation also disclosed the fact that one Costos Vorias had appeared before the court in place of Parvlou. I.ekaS is charged and is considered b-- the prosecution as the principal in the affair. His father runs a Greek restaurant on Water street.
 Parvlou readily acknowledged his part in the affair and charged I1ekaS with being the principal. The defense attributes the whole prosecution to the desire of Parvlou to be revenged upon Lekas for an alleged wrong done him in d real estate deal which resulted in a law suit Attorney John T. Robin son of Ha1ford, appeared for the gov- ernment, and Attorney Jesse A. Stew art for thegdefense. Deputy IT. $. Marshal G. Brairferd Smith of Hartford bail will probably be furnished this Commissioner Peck deSig- mated the Fairfield county jail as the place of confinement in case bail is not furnished.
 Vorias, who worked in the Cartridge shop, disappeared as soon as his sus- picions were aroused and is believed to have left the country.

Connecticut Company De termined to Keep Power
 House Channel Clear.
Harbor Master Morris Can not Assist By Making Arrests in Excess
 of Power.
Complaint Made to Vice President Townley by the McWilliams Blue Line Go. Boat Charles Frederick is Long Detained in Debated Waters.

A lively struggle is now being waged between the Connecticut Company and the owners of the oyster craft which anchor in or near the entrance to the channel going up toAthe street railway power house on Seaview avenue.
 The James McWilliams Blue Line, which handles barge coal for the pow CT house has complained to Vice Presi- dent Calvert Townley of the Connecti- cut Company. that his tows cannot get Ill. or out except with difficulty because of oyster boats at anchor.
 Farbor Master Morris has been ap- pealed to and asked to keep the chan mel clear. This he has done, although the waters of the channel are private.
 The latest dispute arose over the boat Charles Frederick. which was de- taired in the power house channel for sometime.
 This incident brought matters to sucn a point that a demand was made upon the harbor master to arrest own CTS of boats alleged to be in fault.
 Harbor Master Morris, after taking advice of City Attorney Thomas M. Cullinan. is of the opinion that he can not make arrests in such case. He will continue to clear the channel whenever the request is made. but if suits are brought the Connecticut Com pany must take the initiative
 The owners of the offending oyster from one part of the harbor to the other. and that almost the only shelter they can find is adjacent to the power house channel. They are willing to move their craft whenever occasion exists. but do not believe they should be deprived of the right to anchor in the vicinity.
 The disagreement between the Con necticut Company and the oysternlen is of long standing and will probably come to a climax in few days.

CARMACK FIRED FIRST SAYS WITNESS
 IN COOPER TRIAL
Special from United Press)


 Nashville, Tenn, March 1-More tes- timony to bear out the contention of the defense that Carmack fired first was introduced today when the trial of Colonel Duncan Cooper, Robin Cooper and John Sharp for the mur- der of Senator E. W. Carmack was re- stunned today. Mrs. Mary Kraig, who lives in the Polk Flats, in front of which Canmack was killed, stated there were five shots fired. There was perceptible intermission between the first shots," she said. This is in line with Robin Cooper's story that he did not fire until Carmack had shot twice at him and. then he used his auto matic three times in killing his fla tber'S enemy.
 Most of the evidence for the defense is now in and it is expected that it will be completed by tomorrow. Then the State will take not to exceed three days with it's rebuttal evidence after which summing up will begin.
