The Senators intend to be real foxy.
Some of them have ideas on what
should constitute proper official for
the head of department and some of
the ideas fail to square with those of
the Governor. They have made up
their minds, (some of them) to fire
certain of the officials but do not want
to be in too great hurry about it.
In the first place the Senate wants n
great deal of information concerning
the running of the various departments
and they expect to get this information
from the various ineumbents. If they
fail to confirm the nominations, the in
formation may get away with the de-

 MT. Stock owns a provision store in Wheeler avenue which was entered through a front window last night and robbed of about $2O worth of meat and groceries including hams, bologna, frankfurters, etc. Detective Hackett investigated the theft this morning but said he had no clue on which to work;
 MT. Stock said today: "It is too bad we cannot get police protection up here when we pay our taxes. There ought to be policeman north of North avenue, and there ought to De a box up here so that the policeman will have to come up to ring it.'
 Supt. Birmingham said that there was one policeman who covered the territory north of North avenue from Madison avenue to Main street.

CHAIRMAN ROGERS ARRANGES SELECT
 HARMONY DINNER

Republican Town Chairman Matthew H. Rogers was trained in a political school which believed in the efficacy of food as a harmonizer. That Chair man Rogers has not abandoned. method which has brought leadership and titles galore to him is shown by harmony dinner of unusual propor- tions which will be given at. Len mann's shore house tonight. The members of the Republican Town com mittee, the deputy registrars of the Republican party and others to the number of 65 aud 70 will be assembled with 9. special view to keep reserved seats for any of these officials who are Suspected of treason to Mayor Lee, or of giving adherence to other prospec- tive candidates for the Republican nomination for Mayor.
 It is said that Rogers has become alarmed at the coldness of Republican workers upon whom the organlzatlon has hitherto implicitly relied, not only toward the idea of a renomination TOT Mayor Lee, but toward the continued domination of leaders who have back ed the Mayor in policies which have not met public approval.
 The banquet is timely. At least 2O of the three-score or more men who will be dined this evening are known to be committed to a comprehensive program to clean out, the Republican party and clean it up with view to it's future conduct for the benefit of the ordinary members of the party The pronounced views of these men it is expected to change with ''hot air and grub, as one of them said this morning in expressing his hostility to the men responsible for the car barn surrender, the harbor surrender, and the multitude of little things that have gone to the creation of policies to which the ordinary Republican. who works for. a living has been intensely opposed.
 One man who is to attend the din- ner said today: Perhaps it may serve | a good purpose. It may be that out of the interchange of opinion that will take place the other fellows will them
 selves be convinced instead of con- vincing us.
 T believe that if full discussion takes place tonight it will appear SC plainly that the great majority of Re- publicans are hostile to a renomina- ton of Mayor Lee, that he will either withdraw from the race or be dropped His nomination means the certain de feat of the party. He should give way to some man against whom less
 prejudice will be felt by Republicans; administration for the taxpayers and the ordinary people,
 That Lees fate will in large part be determined by the interchange O1 opinion which will take place this ev- ening there seems no doubt, and it is possible that Chairman Rogers har- mony program will be realized. but not according to the plans and speciffca- tions he has drawn.

British Warship Boiler
 Explodes Killing Three
(snecial from United Press.)

London. Sept. 17.-A serious boiler explosion occurred late this afternoon on the British battleship Warrior. off Cromarty. Three sailors are known to be dead and four have been seriously injured.
 The Admiralty has ordered a rigid investigation into the causes of the ex- plosion. Recently there have been a number of sticks of dynamite found in the coal that was being placed on board some of the English warships, and it is feared that to-day's explo- sion may have been caused in this way. Much of this dynamite was found before the coal was placed on board the vessels and the Admiralty investigation revealed the fact that the dynamite was not of the kind that was used at the mines and that it had therefore been placed in the coal by some persons with malicious intent. Scotland Yards best officers were put to work on the case but as yet have found no trace of the miscreants. Whether to-day's explosion was caus- ed by dynamite or by defective tubes in the boilers Is not known.
 Cromarty, where the accident oc- cured, is on the coast of Scotland.

New
 costumes plain and rich

Most-notable feature of the new costumes is their plainness and richness. They are almost-doubly effective because so simple. They do not depend upon any rich ness of decoration to give them beauty. Their attrac- tion lies almost-entirely in the graceful lines which mark the coats and the effec- tive pleats which distinguish each skirt.
 Coats are all of good length. Some have a sim pie braid decoration but by far are beautified only by the careful and exquisite tailoring which is so notice able. Skirts are pleated, some are in paneled effect, all are full at the bottom.
 Materials are of fine tex ture and finish; lustrous sat iny stuffs are much used and homespuns have come for ward as a favorite. And the new models are going to prove very satisfactory to the great majority of wom- |.en.
 Special value is plainly to be seen in those now gather ed at
 t $15, and $25 Second floor.

Lawyers do not believe that the { New Haven Railroad Company will appea1 from the decision of the rail- road Commissioners, refusing to grant perrnissions to the company to lay tracks on ten foot centers on Fair sfield avenue The courts have re-, peafedly held that they will not ira- terfere with the administrative feat { uree Of .thef work Of the commission, but win only if1terpose where a ques- ton of law is involved.
 Lawyers also appear to believe that arf appeal must fail because of lack Of boMtf s11s the Railroad Commission \ ers to make an order which will in- volve cutting the sidewalks. This lack sf power was powerfully urged an, and is believed to have been the i factor that irnpel1ed the commission i.to the unusual course of making a de cisfon ut6n the spot. hF9' a

 In view Of the decision handed Ndown, I IyeSterday, lawyers are inclined to be- Ihfove that no reason existed for the Icar-barl surrender by which the Econapany was given permission to slcroSs the sidewalks at Congress street I and at Stratford avenue.
