The Debate.

Judge John NJ. Evans presided as
chairman and, prior to the debate, eX-
planned the conditions under which the
contest was held, the main speakers
being allowed 15 minutes each, and
eight minutes granted to each of the
rebuttal speakers. At the conclusion
of his remarks he introduced Mr.. A.
Settler, the first speaker on the af-
firmative.
Mr.. Settler first briefly outlined the
question to be debated, "Resoved:
| that aside from the question of
amending the constitution, congress
| should require all corporations doing
| an Interstate business to take out a
| federal license He then proceeded to
outline the course which his team
would pursue during the debate, He
said that there were certain funda-
mental evils existing in the corpora
| tiOns of today and that these evils
| necessitated the power of congress to
| compel the corporations to take out a
! federal license.
These main evils We're three: First
the lack of uniform laws for the regu-
lation and control of interstate corpor-
|
| of secrecy now involved in corpora
| tiOns which the government would de-
stroy and which would prevent the
corporation in transgressing the law
and, third, the inadequacy of the
methods now in existence for the regu-
| latiOn of trusts.
He pointed out that no adequate reg
| ulation could now be enforced which
would remedy the existing evils. A
corporation could do business in Maine
under a charter and license from New
| Jersey, and could in that manner eX-
ercise liberties injurious to the state
of Maine. Such corporations would
| show a lack of discretion, of respon-
sibility, of proper supervision, and that
unless the proper remedies We're APP
piled it would result in transgressions
that would be injurious to the states
He stated that the question. as they
defined it, was that a federal license
was a method, through and by which
an adequate supervision and regula-
tion of corporations may e had
| that it was a national requirement
which would necesstate all corpora
tions to take out a license from pro-
per federal power.

ulIerdick First.

He was followed by Millard S. Bull
lerdick, the first speaker on the mega
tive. Mr.. Bullerdick, after re-stating
the question. first advanced the bur-
den of proof which the team repre-
senting Montana undertook to prove,
They advocated that the present sys-
tenn of regulation was not wrong but
only should be strengthened. 1t was
the duty of the negative to show that
the system of federal license was
wrong and, in order to do this, they
chose to prove two evils which would
result: First. the unavailable at
tempt to regulate the corporations by
a federal license, and that it was i'm
practicable and impossible, and, Sec
ond, to show the evils of practical
monopoly. He showed that the fed
eral license plan was unable to meet
the evils of corporate origin and yet
allow the state Incorporation laws to
hold as they are. In an able and
forward speech he presented the argu-
ment and outline which his team
would advocate, that the federal license
plan was impracticable and that it
would fail to remedy the evils which
now existed.

NEW HAVEN LINE
 PLANS ROAD OVER HELL GATE BRIDGE
Will Make Confessions With the Penn.
 sylvania at a Cost of $25, ,e00, 900.

New Haven, March 29-A confer ence has been held between high ofh- cers of the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad and the Pennsylva- mia, railroad with reference to the con- meeting road of the two systems by way of the great bridge over Hell Gate. The subject has become one Of some what specialized importance owing to the New York subway plans looking to further connections with the New Ha- ven system.
 The New Haven company has now acquired all the land needed for con- ncetion with the proposed four-track Hell Gate bridge. The Pennsylvania company, ou the east side of the riv- CT, has also made considerable pur- chases of land, not merely for the con- nections with it's line running to the new passenger station in New York city, but for the freight line connect ing it's Bay Ridge road with the ferry for freight across New York harbor The expenses of the Hell Gate connect ing line are to be shared equally by the New Haven and the Pennsylvania through the New York Connecting Company, which will finance the new guaranteed by the two larger com panies
 The total cost of the line across Hell Gate and through Long Island City IS roughly estimated at about $25, ,000, 900 There has been paid in already by the two companies, largely in the purchase of land and rights of way, about $3,600,- GOO.
 The bridge itself exclusive of the embankment approaches, but -includ- ing the steel approaches will be about a mile and a half long with a central span above Hell Gate of 1000 feet Tn length. 135 feet above the water. The new lines will be used both for freight and passengers, the freight going by the Bay Ridge line, the passengers giong below the river to the new Penn sylvania terminal.

THE THEATRES
POLI'S

Unusually attractive is this weeks bill at Poli's, with one of the best headline acts ever offered and a gall axy of topnotchers in support. Em- met Devoy, the talented actor, and a capable company of six will present MT: Devoy's comedy drama fantasy, entitled "In Dreanlland," in the top line position. This is a new vehicle for MT. Devoy and is said by critics obe far ahead of anything else the versatile actor has ever accomplished
 Miss Hermine Shone. thought by some to be the handsomest woman on the vaudeville stage, assists MT. Devoy. The story upon which the act is bas- ed is brimful of comedy, and the situa- tions are brought out faultlessly, caus- ing no end of laughter. Elaborate scenic and stage effects and bewil- dering electrical illusions are also in troduced during the action of the piece. MT Devoy carries a special stan of trical effects possible. It Is safe to predict that 'Jn Dreamland" will score heavily here this week, commencing with the initial performance this after noon-
 Several other splendid features will be offered this week, Ward & Curran, the old favorites will return with a new version of their hilarious of fering, '"The Terrible Judge,'' a great laugh-puller; the added feature will be Mile Fregolia, direct from her sen sational hit in Paris, presenting a pro- tean act, the like of which has never before been given in this country. Mile Fregolia portrays fifteen differ ent characters and makes Forty dis tinct costume changes during the act, which runs between 15 and IS minutes. The marvellously clever protean artist bewilders her audience, so that some are skeptical. She has a standing of fer of forfeit of $1.000 to anybody who can show that more than herself appears in the act.
 w. O. Duncan, Americas premiere ventriloyuist will entertain with a nov city act of his own. Luce & Luce of fer one of the most attractive musical novelties of the season. The Silvas, Portuguese sensational ladder balan- cers, have a thrilling act. Brown 6 Cooper in a corlxing Hebrew speciality, get the laughs. The newest pictures on the Nectrograph complete an ex- ceptional bill this week.

Washington. March 2S.-It seems to be the impression in well informed quarters that Herbert Knox Smith of Hartford. commissioner of incorpora- tfons, whos was appointed by Roose- Welt, and whose duty it was to in vest1gate the inner secrets of corpora t1ons, will be removed by President Taft. It is said that he has been en- tirely too zealous in the performance of his duties to suit come of the great interests. and hence he will be sent to the tall pines. Whether or not he will receive another place is in doubt Un- der Roosevelt he was the most power ful man from Connecticut Questions Of patronage were referred to him. Sometimes he agreed with the Con- necticut delegation. Sometimes he did not.
 Incidentally he was member of the famous tennis cabinet, which is now no more.
 Some time ago, H.. H. Ward of West Haven, who lives at present in Wash ington, wanted to be assistant secre- tary of the navy. but this place has already been filed MT Ward was at one time in the navy, and rendered distinguished service during the Span ish war. A son of President Gallaudet of the Deaf and Dumb school. who formerly lived in Hartford and still keeps his residence in Connecticut, was also an applicant for place, but as yet he has not been given anything.
 Henry M. Camp of Norwalk, is still looking for something. MT. Camp re- signed from the post-office depart ment during the campaign to look af- ter the government employees in Washington, and he thinks he is en- titled to something pretty good for the work he did at that time.
 Connecticut has no minister abroad, and so far as is known down here no one from the state is looking for such a place There are at present six Con- necticut men in the consular service. and they are not likely to be disturbed. They are: pr. George H. Jackson of New Haven, at Cognac, France: EraS- tus S. Day of Colchester. at Bradford, England; Frederick M. Ryder of New N. Daniels of Wil1imantic. at Sheffield, England; William H. Bishop of New Haven, at Palermo. Sicily. and Edwin A. Creevey, of Bridgeport at St. Michaels. Azores These places pay from g. 800 to $3,500 a year. Homer M. Byington. of Norwalk. is also a con sular agent at Rome. at salary of $1, 500.
 There are four federal places in Connecticut, namely the U. S. Mar shal, U.3S. District Attorney, U. $. Internal Revenue Collector and the U. s. Bank Examiner. The present incumbents were appointed at the sug- the Connecticut delegation in Congress. and their terms do not expire for some little time Probably the first state appoin tment for Connecticut will be the Supervisor of the Census, who will have to be named some time this year. It is understood that Edward S. Young. the Republican Registrar of Voters. of Hartford, is an applicant for this place, but as yet no one has been endorsed by the Connecticut delegation.

FLING CLOTHES
 LABEL UP See How Good It Feels Not to Have to Hide Label That Stamps Clothes
 Ready Made SATISFACTION IN SAYING "MY TAILOR" Let Your Clothes Bear Q Custom Tailor's Name and You're Never Afraid to Have It Seen.

In places of amusement where over- coats are removed it always seems to be a temptation to see who a mans tailor is by catching a glimpse of the label in his coat. There is for some reason manifest curiosity about the origin of a mans clothing whether they are the product of a. good GUS tom tailor or some ready made clothes house. In the theatre you will often notice the man who possesses the sty- fish garment of the custom tailor to unhesitatingly turn his lining out for what cares he whether the label shows
 He has nothing to be ashamed of-he wears the best, the tailor made. But on the other hand when you see the fellow slyly fold up his coat so no labels show and tuck it in the coat rack with care you can wager your last cent he's hiding something, very likely the label of a ready made house.
 This fellow isn't certain about his clotheS-he isn't on the ground that makes him feel well founded. He knows the girl with him or the people around him are apt to discover he has no tailor but wears ready mades. No particular disgrace about this that we about admitting it, so there's probably a reason. 'Is the game worth the candle?" Does he save enough money on the difference in price between the tailor made and the ready made clothes to serve balm for the awkward positions in which he volun- tarily places himself? And surely he loses a lot of style and fit satisfaction by not having a tailor make his clothes. The man who is wearing ready made clothes ought to talk it over with Wheale, 1042 Main St. This is the tailor that will tailor you in the latest fashions-give you some thing in clothing that you're sure is right-and he won't overcharge you either. You should get acquainted with him, his methods and his prices. H. LA . personal satisfaction to fling your clothes around, tailor's label in sight, and be able to say, My tailor's Wheale.'' Try it with the spring suit.
