WIND BLEW 60
 MILES AN HOUR
Bat it Was an Off Shore Wind and Did
 no Damage on This Coast.

A spasmodic, gusty wind struck the whole Atlantic seaboard yesterday af- ternoon about sundown and for few hours while its velocity went from a few to sixty miles an hour it raised everything not nailed down. The storm was accompanied with a rise in temperature, drop in overcoats. The highest point the mercury attained was 76 degrees.
 The breeze started in about six o'clock making little sal1ies and getting away with hats, skirts and the like. It then settled down to business for g. while and the anenometer started to hit up a forty mile gait. Then the air would be quiet and let things settle for another sortie.
 The wind was from the northwest and blowing off shore, so that the wa ter was quite calm and little difficulty was experienced by the coast naviga- tors. Most of the sound vessels, schooners and other craft looked to the southern shore of the sound for ha- ven during the night rather than buck up against the wind and turn to the more seldom used northern harbors.
 The weather bureau has been pre- dieting a high pressure area in the west about Arizona and low pres sure area here in the east. The air learning of the fact, the meteorologists tell us, started east to fill up the cav ity. Hence the blow.

HEARING ON BILLS
 RELATING TO GARBAGE
Citizens of East Lyme are Still Opposed
 to Location of Bridgeport Plant There

Hartford. April s.-Before the com mittee on public safety in the Supreme Court room at the Capitol. yesterday, there was a large attendance at a hearing upon several bills affecting the industry of making oil and fertilizer from fish. The principal bill has to do with the location of a hy-product plant at Giants Neck. in the town of East Lyme by the Bridgeport By-Pro- ducts Co.,. which desires to locate there and serve several cities, as Bridgeport is now being served.
 Another bill aims to rrohibit the manufacture of fertilizer or phosphate from fish or garbage in the towns of Waterford. East Lyme. and Old Lyme where the residents are afraid their noses are going to be offended. The company represented that the only time last summer that there had been anyone bothered by the local plant was at a time when, the machinery broke down and it was necessary to open the huge digestors in 8 different way than usual.

TRAILING NATURALISTS IN
 SOUTH AFRICA
Helpful Hints for Correspondents

Nairobi. East Africa.-Anticipating the arrival of Ex-President Roosevelt and his party, new code for hunting and trailing is promulgated as follows:
 TEe traveller the explorer, or corres- pendent will do well to bear in m.nd certain we'll know characteristics of Faunal Naturalists. of which. on the one group.
 If. in breaking one's way through the thorn-bush, one finds an empty Bull Durham pouch, it is a sure sign that a certain eminent Faunal Naturalist has been that way. Moreover. 1t is a sign that he has entertained the native chiefs and wise men. for the Colonel himself does not smoke.
 dn making one's way across the lone ly veldt. if one finds. beside a recent camp fire. the countenance of a dog, on tobacco pouch. (empty). this too is to be considered a sign that the indicates that, instead of Bull Dur ham. he has decided to offer his guests "Dog's Head.''
 The finding of an empty can. marked Tortoise She'll Mixture" is to be re- garded as an infallible sign that Secre- tary Kermit Roosevelt has passed that way. The presence of the secretary, as is well known. indicates the c ose prox- unity of Colonel Roosevelt himself.
 It is not absolutely necessary. how ever. to depend on mere keenness of eyesight. A hunter with delicate, well trained sense of smell-so well trained that he can recognize the deli cate fragrance of Cameron pocket s ice will know at once what that sign indi- cates. The instant that fairy fragrance is waited to his senses. the well fn- formed trailer will know that. some where up the wind is Secretsry Kermit and somewhere near Secretary Ker- mit is hunter Roosevelt.
 Secretary Kermit, in fact, is about the best equipped smoker in East Africa
 Hunter Roosevelt does not smoke at all. But Son Kermit has been smok- CT for the last five years, and the Col onel's watchful eye sees no harmful effects from it. a"

OPPOSiTlON TO
 UTILITIES BILL
President Domaine of State Federation of Labors Against it, Representing
 Organization.
Bridgeport Labor Leaders Appear..Sher. man Anti. Trust Act Cited - Former Master of State Grange Hostile to legiSlati0n.

Hartford, April s.-The judiciary committee closed the taking of testi- mony on the public utilities measures late yesterday afternoon.
 Charles J. Donahue,, president of the State Federation of Labor appeared to oppose the bill in behalf of that organ ization. He deprecated placing in the hands of a few the power which be- longed to the people. The relations of labor with the corporations had been friendly and the labor organization looks with suspicion upon anything which may tend to change that rela- ton. He said that it was possible that orders issued by a commission which would involve the expenditure of large sums of money might result in a re- duction of wages and labor men would thus be the first to suffer. No one could say what effect the bill might have and he cited in this connection the work ings of the Sherman antitrust act and the trouble which it has caused the United Hatters of North America. He thought the commission would not be above politics and he told the business men that if they had been as fair with the laboring men as the public service corporations have been that the condt- ton of labor in the state would be greatly improved.
 Others who appeared in opposition were B. c. Patterson of Torrington, former master of the State Grange; ex- Comptroller A. w. Mitchell of Wood bury; John J. O'Neill and Timothy J. Flanagan of Bridgeport.
