EXTENSION OF NEW LONDON
& EAST LYME RAILROAD
From Mantle TO Black HalI-Matter
Before Joint Committee on Railroads.

Especial 10 Inc BulieIln.)
Hartford, March 9.-The Joint com
mittee on railroads spent the whole
afternoon today on the petition of the
New London e. East Lyme Railroad
co. for an amendment to its charter
which will permit 1t to build from Nj
antic to Black Hall and to the new
bridge over the Connecticut when one
is constructed. Charles w. Comstock
OF Montville presented the case of the
petitioners and was assisted by Capt.
Thomas w. Hamilton of the company.
Attorney Edward NJ. Day of Hart
ford was present to represent several
property owners along the shore who
were opposed TO having the company
build this extension by what Is known
as the shore route, but Mr.. Comstock
informed him that the company had
abandoned this one of the alternative
routes stated in the original petition
and presented a resolution which con-
tained only the inland route. Mr.. Day
then withdrew.
After discussing the matter Of can
italization with Captain Hamilton for
some. time, it was finall-- -~reed with
the committee that the proposed addi-
tional capitalization Of s375,000 should
be reduced to s325,OO0 This would
provide for a construction cost Of
about $4,000 a mile.
Judge Joseph Huntington Of OLD
Lyme. who favors the road, brought
a smile to the faces Of the committee
when he said that there was some
opposition to the new line in his town
because it would be "inartistic." He
explained that this wasn't really
laughable matter, because the towns
reople derived no small part of their
revenue from the many artists who
come there and who might object to
the trolley. He was willing, however.
to take the chances himself.
First Selectnan Caulkins stated that
there were few people living near the
church corner who objec-ed to having
the line run in front of their houses.
because this is bad point in the high
way but ne thought that could be
fixed up Otherwise, the town wanted
the lire.
Ernest Chadwick Of New London
and Charles Ludington of New York.
Joseph Cruttenden of Norwich and
William G. Honiss. representing New
Workers and others owning property at
Crescent beach, opposed building any
part Of the new line south of the rail-
road tracks but this was Strengthened
out finally.
There is yet 10 be heard. however. a
petition Of William H. Ely Of New
Haven, which covers practically the
same route as does this proposed ex-
tension.

CIRCULATION
THE FIGHT AGAINST CANNON
ISM.

II 10 many day since New England
has been 80 stirred up by q speaker
of tina national house Of representa-
tives as II has by the conduct Of
Speaker Cannon in obstructing the
legislation which would preserve the
forests Of the White mountain district
and make secure the future water
power, Of New England.
While the dissatisfaction with Can
nonism u countrywide, the feeling in
New England against him is most in
tense, as is shown by the Boston
Commercial Bulletin placing the re-
sponsibility for the failure upon Can
non. Another New England paper does
not hesitate to declare that "the for
est reserve bill has again been juggled
to death in spite Of public opinion in
its favor. The defeat of the Just de-
mands OF New England, supported not
only by her own people but by the
people OF the United States, IS due to
one man, the Yankee-hater from I'LL
nois, who is willing to even injure
North Carolina, the state that gave
him birth, II he can, at the same time,
crafty his spite against New England.
Joseph G. Cannon, speaker Of the
house OF representatives, keeps New
England from her own"
The spirit OF New England is back
ing the insurgents who next week in
congress WIFI again attempt to break
the power Of Cannon and If they do
not defeat him for the speakership
hope to force a modification OF the
rules.
It Is now alleged that the republic
can insurgents, acting with the demo-
Gratis, can control the situation when
congress again comes together, but
there Is a considerable doubt about
that. At all events, the situation
should prompt the speaker to conduct
himself with more fairness towards
New England-to seek in the interest
OF his party TO allay the storm he has
raised IN this section.

A sERvlLE ATrITUpE.

There viii be hearty endorsement OF
the condemnation which the Boston
Record thus expresses:
mo worse blot on the history OF the
dying congress than the refusal to
raise the Maine. 1t seems incredible
that the DOGGY that something wrong
may be found inside the ship could
have prevented q deed of manifest
Justice"
Some time the hulk must be re-
moved from its present resting place
Then why delay? AS The Record well
says, "a deed Of manifest justice"
has been neglected. Under the cir
cumstances. the neglect is odious.
The treatment Of this matter shows
how servilely congress will some
times follow sneaking counsel, rather
than act openly and in obedience to
the promptings of decency.-The Sa-
lem, Mass, News.
Norwich bulletin., 1909-03-10

This is certainly going to be done.
The press has this matter in hand as
well as the patriotic societies OF Amer
lea. Hanging wreaths on this hulk on
Memorial day in memory Of the Amer
lean sailors entombed therein is no ex-
cuse for the indefensible neglect of
their remains. We Remember the
Maine" not in the spirit which the
phrase was given birth by, but in the
spirit Of Justice to those who were
there sacrificed and to ourselves who
are obligated to give them honorable
sepulter. AS an example of the fact
that great bodies move slow. con-
gress has never lost its claim to first
recognition.

Two Negro Cottages Burn

Last night at 8 80 o'clock fire broke out in the house of Gus Stan ley, colored, living one block east of the city park and on account of no water protection was soon con- stunned. The flames spread to a house owned and occupied by Bill Pace, colored, and it, too was totally destroyed.
 Stanley had S35O insurance on his property but we understand that Pace's was uninsured.
 The alarm caused some excite ment in the show tent where the greater portion of our peop.e were at the time it was given.
 A number of pistol shots in the vicinity of the tent made the more timid have thoughts of battle. and but for the presence of mind of the manager of the show in satisfying the crowd that no danger was imminent general stampede would have resulted.
