UTILITIES BILL REJECTED
Connecticut House Defeats Draft 1o5
to 1903; Exciting Scenes

Hartford, Conn, Aug. Amid
scenes of excitement the House OF
Representatives voted los TO 1913
against public utilities commission
bill which the Senate had rejected in
favor of the majority report known as
the Barnum bill. The members de-
bated the matter all day.
During tne roll call members pro
tested against the presence and ac-
tivity of lawyers and Legislative agents
for corporations on the floor. Finally
Speaker Banks ordered the floor Of
the Hose cleared. The vote at first
showed that the majority report had
been accepted in non-occurrence but
three members changed their votes
during the excitement OF expelling
the lobbyists and the final announce
ment was of the rejection OF the min
GRITTY report. Before a vote could be
ordered on the question Of passing the
majority report an adjournment was
brought about.
The Barnum bill, socalled, provides
for a commission OF three to supervise
gas, electric and telephone companies
in the state, while the Chandler or
minority bill called for abolition of
the railroad commission and supervis-
ion of all public service corporations
in the state, including the New York.
New Haven & Hartford railroad.
Failure to dispose of the question
mas prolonged the present legislative
session beyond all precedent and the
end may be weeks away.

coNNoRs WANTS 100000
For Damages to His Reputation by
Golfers Weekly

Buffalo, ~ Y, Aug. 9.-Democratic
State Chairman William J. Connors
has brought a libel action against Col
lier's Weekly for 100000 damages.
VIII Irwin, one of Golfers special
writer's, came to Buffalo and had a
long interview with Mr.. Connors a
year ago Mr.. Irwin however, pub
lished a great many things about Mr..
Connors which Mr.. Connors alleges
are untrue.
No specific instances of bribery are
mentioned in the article. But the
general charge is made that Mr.. Con-
nors bribed the freight agents of the
carrying lines on the lake in order to
beat his competitors in the freight
handling business.
The complaint in reference TO Sc
cret murder is based on a portion of
the article to the effect that when
things become dull in his waterfront
saloon ne would start an argument,
and that if he was unable to settle X
with bung starter he resorted to the
methods of the highblnders.
The charge of melting murder is
based on the trouble on the propeller,
Mather during the grain strike. 1t
was alleged that Connors inspired
of the men to fire into the
hold of the boat at men who We're I'M
friendly to Connors, killing one.

its best. Six misplays is not a bad
record, in fact the best teams In the
country give worse exhibitions in this
respect every week but the Benning-
ton baseball public has been educat-
ed during the present season to ex-
pect faster ball than was put up Sat
urday.
Cherry's work at third and the
playing of both catchers behind the
bat were the real features of the
game. Cherry picked up couple Of
slow grounders and threw the run
ners out at first in remarkable quick
time. In both instances had the run
ners reached first in safety no one
would have denied the justice OF re-
cording the batters with safe hits.
burlington and Van Alstyne both
made brilliant plays on high foul flies.
The Bennington catcners efforts in
this line were especially spectacular.
The visiting pitcher had slow ball
which was rather puzzling to the
home team but the home players cor
nected with it for six singles and a
two Dagger. King secured three Of
the singles and they came at a time
wlen needed.
Haynes never allowed the Mohawks
to have two hits in the same inning
and had fine control of the ball. a
runner whom he allowed to reach
first on a wild throw scored the only
run for the visitors. The score:

MISS ELkINs OF ROYAL LINE
Proof Discovered That Dukes Former
Fiancee is Descendant of King

London. Aug. Mrs. Albert Levin
Richardson of Baltimore who has
been two years in London making re-
searches in reference to the English
origins of the 18th century American
colonists of the upper classes has in
cidentally discovered that Senator
Davis forbears trace their descent
away back to the time of Charlemag-
ne in Sl4 through many generations
of Italian kings.
Considering this very interesting,
when taken in connection with the
recent engagement of the Duke of the
Abruzzi and Miss Katherine Elkins,
granddaughter of Senator Davis, Mrs.
Richardson submitted her proofs to
the Heralds College here the authori-
ties of which vigorously examined tae
documents.
The proofs were passed as absolute
ly impeccable and the fact is now re-
corded in the archives of the Heralds
college, where the proofs now form a
part of the official records and a certi-
ficate. which your correspondent was
allowed to peruse. was granted to Mrs
Richardson, who by the way, is public
record commissioner for the state of
Maryland.
Neither Senator Davis nor the Ell
kinses nor any member of the famtl-
les were cognizant of these facts and
consequently don't know that the
blood of Italy's kings flows in their
veins

AowE's GREAT LONDON SHOWS
No Money Has Been Spared to Make
This Show a Complete Success

This year the show nas been en-
larged so as to rank with any tented
organization on the road. Thousands
of dollars have been spent in i'm
proving every department.
No one who is not in touch with
the great show can form any idea OF
the immensely of it. 1t is a small
city in itself, constantly on the move,
but with all kinds of mechanical pro
visions for its running.
Vita the monster show are its own
minister, surgeon, BARRIERS, DlacK-
smiths, electricians and others.
In the culinary department are EN-
ployed fifteen cooks and thirty-six
walters besides assistant cooks, meat
cutters and pastry cooks.
A circus is a splendid object lesson
in system-perfect system.
This is seen in the unloading OF the
cars and in every detail of the work.
Every man is held responsible for his
particular duty.
The big show comes on Tuesday,
August II.

Manchester, August 9.-The people
If Dorset and East Rupert who have
been putting forth every effort since
he burning of the Congregational
church building in Dorset in the win
.er of 1908 to raising funds for a new
lhurch building, will see the fulfill
nent of their project begin to loom
into view on Tuesday, August H.
when the exercises connected witn
laying the corner stone of the new
building will be held. 1t is fitting
that the exercises should be held so
near the anniversary of bennington
battle day, which is celebrated on the
preceding day. The zeal with which
the residents of the two villages have
worked for the building characterizes
hem as worry descendants of the pi-
oneers of that section who went forth
with the Green Mountain Boys to de-
Tend the New Hampshire Grants.
Inc exercises will be simple, but
unique, and interesting. TWO OF the
ministers who will officiate were or
dained I'm the old church building. A
history of the Dorset church, which
mas been prepared by Allan Bourn,
will be read. The corner stone VIII
bear the inscription 17S4-19O9, the
dates of the organization OF the
church in Dorset and the erection OF
the new building. Within it will be
placed a metal casket containing
Bible, a copy of the history of the
church, picture of the old church
building, a list of the donors and sub
scribers and other objects of interest
and significance. These will be seal
ed within the corner stone to remain
as long as the building stands.
