 TROLLEYMEN DISCUSS THE NEED OF SEATS Have no Faith in the Rail- road Commissioners. Allege That They are Owned by Conssl. idated Company-Spirited Debates Before Com mitlee.

Hartford, April 16.-Spirited arraign- ments of the railroad commissioners marked the rehearing before railroad committee yesterday afternoon, on the bill providing that trolley companies shall provide seats for motormen on lines outside of city limits, to be used by motormen only when outside city limits. This bill was given a hearing several weeks ago and was reported adversely by the committee, but was assigned for another hearing Large mum bers of motormen from all over the sta te were present.
 Senator Middleton of East Windsor favoring the bill said that it only ap- piled to suburban lines. He called att tention to the fact that large stretches of these roads lay over private land and that the use of stools would be without danger. He also claimed that many trolleymen were obliged to give up their positions owing to the illness caused by standing for hours at a time.
 Representative Elmer M. Chadwick of Salem, recommended that the railroad commissioners should be allowed to make exemptions. A representative of the trolleymen here asked for a five minute conference with his clients in order to see whether they would not agree on the recommendation made. After the conference he reported that ms men were opposed 10 tnlS measure as they had no faith in the railroad commissioners and did not believe they would be fairly dealt with and for that reason they had decided to stand or fall by the bill in it's present form
 Horace Smith of Norwich said that he had run as a motornan for seven teen years and that his left leg was nearly paralyzed from continuous standing.
 w. H. Bowell of Norwich, another motorman, said that he suffered from kidney trouble induced by his work.
 J. F. Hannum of Warehouse Point said he used a stool all last summer on hand brake car and that he did his work better as a. result of it.
 J. A. Frye of Warehouse Point said he was wearing steel braces in his shoes as a result of his standing so much on his feet.
 D. F. Fitzgerald of New Haven tore to pieces the three objections raised by General Manager Punderford of the Connecticut Company at the previous hearing, viz, that the motorman's range of vision when seated was not as great as when standing, that owing to the curtains being pulled at night ct would be impossible to tell whether the motorman was Obeying the law requir- ing him to stand when in city limits. and that in admitting that a motorman should stand in cities they were admit ting that there was an element of dan ger attached to sitting.
 Representative Raymond J. Jodoin of Sprague said s'I was up before the railroad commissioners a short time ago and was told before I went just what would get, nothing. You know as well as do that railroad commits sioners are supposed to be owned by the railroad. Why, a 14-year-old boy knows that

William Collier, who will be seen this evening in his new three act farce, 'sThe Patroit" had his early stage training under the late Augustin Daly. He received much good advice from MT Daly, who took great interest in Collier then the call boy.

The Rise In tn. Isiver.

1t Is little short of astonishing to see how little water is required to float the southern river steamers, a boat loaded with perhaps a thousand bales of cotton slipping along contentedly where a boy could wade across the stream. Once, however, the Chatta- hoochee got too low for even her light draft commerce, and at Gunboat shoals a steamer grounded. As the drinking water on board needed re- plenishing, deck hand was sent ashore with a couple of water buckets. Just at this moment a northern traveller ap- preached the captain of the boat, and asked him how long he thought they would have to stay there.
 "Oh, only until that man gets back with a bucket of water to pour into the river" the captain replied. Pres ently the deck hand returned, and the stale water from the cooler was emptied overheard. Instantly, to the amazement of the traveller, the boat began to move.
 s'Well, if that doesn't beat thunderw he gasped.
 The fact was that the boat, touching the bottom, had acted as a dam, and there was soon backed up behind her enough water to lift her over the shoal and send her on down the stream Harper's Weekly.

BISHOP WOULD PURGE JURIES OF
 PROFESSIONALS
By Our Stan Correspondent) !

(By Our Staff COrreSpOndent.)
 Hartford, April 16.-The Judiciary Committee gave a hearing, yesterday, to a bill introduced by Representative Bishop of New Haven which is intend ed to put stopsto the jury abuses which are generally recognized as ex- isting in the jury system of the state.
 MT. Bishop explained that his bill would be especially valuable in getting rid of the professional juror, the man who some how or other is seen again and again in the jury box. The bill also increases the number of persons eligible to be jurors. The rule now is that the selectmen of a town pick out a certain number of names of persons eligible to be jurors, which list is re- duced one-half by the jury commission. The Bishop bill requires the name of one but of every ten eligible to be se-' lected, and the number may be reduc- ed but one-fourth.
 The professional juror is reached in another way by the provision that hav- ing served once he shall not again serve for three years, and that he shall not serve more than four weeks, ex- cept upon the same case.
 A number of prominent lawyers fa- vored the bill. It was the general opinion that under the present system certain jurors get too well acquainted with the States attorney and with cer- tain lawyers.

John Doe Proceedings.

John Doe" proceedings were abol- ished by law in Great Britain in 1852. Previous to that time John Doe had figured in the old fashioned ejectment action for the recovery of the posses sion of land, together with damages for the wrongful withholding thereof. For various reasons of convenience and history dating from the reign of Edward TIL A did not proceed against B directly in such a 1se. Instead A delivered to B an entirely false state ment from the fictitious John Doe" that A had devised the land to John" for a term of years. and John" had been busted from it by the equally fictitious ''Richard Roe" Then Rich ard informed B that he was not going to defend the action himself, but B must do it, and so on. Occasionally, by way of variety, John Doe" gave place to one ''Goodtitle.'
