ONLY ONE MAY
 BE ASSESSOR
Muyor Also Has But One Appointment to Board of ReIief-Will Open GAR Entertainment.

Among the many appointments that are awaiting the official action of Mayor Buckingham. those of the board of relief and the board of assessors appear to have been most misunder- stood. Contrary to the general be- lief Mayor Buckingham has only one vacancy to fill in each of these boards, and in both cases the appointments are to be for four years and the in cumbents shall be democrats
 This is the outcome of legislation enacted at the last session of the gen eraI assembly. The appointment in each case is to be made in July.
 Mayor Buckingham has accepted the invitation of the Ladies of the G. A. R. to open their entertainment this ev- ening.
 At the meeting of the Automobile club, last evening, an interested aud itor of the report of Delegate Henry to the National Good Roads convention was Mayor Buckingham. The new mayor has devoted much time and study to the good roads problem, and the talk of MT. Henry, he said, proved valuable.

 Since the days of her poverty Mrs. Macdonald has always been noted for her charity. She gave and went with out herself. No one ever asked for food at her door who did not get it cheerfully.
 Alexander Davidson died over a dozen years aga. Mrs. Davidson lived alone for a number of years and then about six years ago she married Au- gustin R. Mcdonald. a distant rela- tive, and he died about three years ago. Since that time Mrs. MacDon- aid has lived alone. A great deal of sympathy is felt for her by those who know her.
 There is no doubt but that she would have a snug sum to tide her over her last days if it had been possible to call the attention of the probate court to her case before the foreclosure was brought. There were numerous real estate men who would have given s. coo or s4. 900 for the equity in the six acres of fine residential property.
 At the City National Bank it was stated today that the matter had not been cleared up enough to know how much Mrs. Macdonald would get.

It was well on in the day that Jailer Scohelds was seen to drive up to the side entrance of the building in a closed carriage. With him was Abraham Lebenthal.

SUGAR TRUST SCANDAL TO

 ON THEODORE ROOSEVELT
Semi Official Announcement Made That Approaching Congressional Investigation Will Stain Administra- lions of Several Presidents
Bryan and Parker in Turn Charged That Trust Was Heavy Contributor to Republican Campaign Funds== Statute of Limitations Protects Against Mnch Law Breaking.

in 1907, but since that time the proofs which would convict are scarce
 Business interests here, are wonder ing what will result from the Congress slonal investigation which is believed inevitable and which will certainly trace the trial of the trust back to the day of the first American Sugar Re lining Company's incorporation
 It is a certainty that both of the big political parties will be involved. The administrations of Grover Cleveland, Benjamin Harrison, Cleveland again, William Mckinley and also of Theo- .dore Roosevelt will be brought into the 'lirnelight- The Presidents themselves may not be smirched but memb bers of their official families will be shown to have been familiar with the trust and will have much to explain
 Since 1904 the Sugar Trust has been many times under fire but has always managed to escape large part of the threatened Investigation In 1904 Elf- sha Edwards charged that the trust had secured favors of Congressional leaders. The president and others were prosecuted for contumacy In 1896 Bryan charged that the trust was a heavy contributor to Republican cam paign funds In 1906 Alton B. Parker candidate for President, made the same charge.

A. I. X I. Co. Gets Control
 In Western Union
Special from United Press.)

Boston. Nov. 16.-The American Tele- phone & Telegraph Company an nounces that 1t has obtained control of a substantial minority interest in the shares of the Western Union Tele- graph Company.
 The following official statement was issued:
 From the very commencement of the phone business it has been thought that the making of our business an auxiliary to the telegraph business would give additional public service as well as result in large economies both to the public and to the company. There is much to gain by the joint ond construction of plants and by the common use. the greater extent of them, and the greatest ad- vantage would follow the placing of billions of telephone subscribers in close and reliable connection with the receiving and dispatching telegraph of fees While some provision for this. after a manner. exisis today, a lack of harmony and cooperation between the companies has eliminated its utilixa- tion to the cases of absolute necessity. It is believed now this can be estab- lished and the resultant advantages made available to the public."

(Speclal rom United PreSS.)
 New York, Nov. 16.-When President Taft and the cabinet in Washington took up for consideration the question of how to crush the Sugar Trust At torney General Wickersham presented a report compiled by Henry L. Stinr- son, special acting deputy attorney general, setting forth the crimes he expects to prove the combination guilty of. It is expected that the re- port declares that American Sugar Re- fining Company crushed its rivals by sheer weight of money: that it cor rupted the government inspectors with out limit; bribed leading employees Of opposing companies to report the de- tails of their employers business so that the trust could undersell them and force them into bankruptcy; con- tributed to the campaign funds of all parties prior to the last Presidential campaign so that National chairman and committees were under obliga- tions.
 But-and here is the real reason why the cabinet discussed the matter-most of the alleged law breaking is covered by the statute of limitations. There are plenty of proofs of guilt up to the time that Henry O. Havermeyer died

It became known to-day that the Bridgeport National Bank. housed in the nv bank building at the southeast corner of Main and Bank streets. has taken only temporary quarters, look ing towards the erection of fine banking and business block in its for mer home, at the northeast corner Of the same streets. While the plans have not been drawn up. it is learned that the building is likely to stand out prominently against Bridgeport's sky line. if the wishes of a number of the most interested people prevail
 For about a hundred years, the Bridgeport National Bank has had its Headquarters at the northeast corner of Main and Bank streets. and that location had come to be regarded as the new marble bank block was built on the opposite side of the street. the Bridgeport and First National Banks combined and formed a. million dollar institution.
 With the recent formation of the Commercial Trust Co.,, in which local capitalists are said to be planning to interest themselves heavily, the story gained circulation tEat the Bridgeport National Bank would eventually re- turn to it's old site. and the fine new block would be taken over by the trust company.
