oldest Dwelling. In Europe

One of the very earliest human set dement's in Europe is Roche Corbon, on the banks of the Loire, seven miles above Tours. Here limestone cliffs stretch for miles and age pigeonholed with caves, which aye on different lev els and open on to terraces. When the rest of the country was nothing but forest land Roche Corbon was a thriv- ing settlement inhabited by wild skin clad predecessors of the present cave dwellers. These terraces and caves were formed by the action of mighty rivers, and during the glacial period. when the climate of that portion of France was very severe, man drove out the bears and hyenas and took ref uge in these natural shelters, which faced south, and so became human set dement's of primitive sort Near St hand were the rivers and great forests full of fish and game.

nd Broken Promises.
Special from United Press

Special from United Press.)
 Washington, June 12. - Denouncing the pending tariff bill as being fram- ed in the special interest of the priv ileged few, Senator Overman (North Carolina), to-day made a speech in which he declared his intention to vote against |. it. Across the back of the bill, he said, should be written in black letters the words, Bad Faith and Broken Promises" for that in his opinion, would be the judgment of the American people.
 Out of 29,00o,o 900 people engaged in the five principal groups of occupation at the last census, OverInan calculat- ed that there were only 15OO00 manu- posing combines and syndicates who reap the benefits of high protective tariff while the great masses of the people pay the tolls. He insisted that genuine revision downward had been promised and said:
 'The high protectionists are again in the saddle riding rough-shod over the peoples representatives and the trust imposed in them. It is high time that this system by which we up, money aristocrats with their law ish and ostentatious display of wealth taken from the people by the enor- nous profits made by these high tar 
 people are beginning to feel that they have been legislated against and are not receiving fair play in this great governmentks which they themselves have estabN for themselves" N
 He declared himself in favor of an income tax. He proposed a head tax of s10 for every alien entering the United States and estimated that it would produce a revenue of nine or ten million dollars and would mean Q more select class of immigrants and therefore, the protection of American labor and everything American.
 Overman also advocated an amend ment providing that the President, whenever satisfied that any company or trust that produces more than 50 per cent. of any product consumed in the United States and sells at a less price in the foreign markets than at home, be authorized to suspend the collection of customs duties on goods of like character. He denounced the absorption of the Tennessee Coal & Iron Company by the United States Steel Corporation as ''one of the most outrageous and scandalous transac- tions that ever happened" .

 Years.
 Lew Simmons, veteran baseball magpate, at one time one of the own CTS of the Philadelphia Athletics, and for two generations a variety perform CT of the old school, came to Bridge port yesterday to pay a faternal visit to Bridgeport lodge of Elks and he was most heartily greeted by the local antlers. Last evening at a social ses- sion held following the lodge meeting he recited some of his experiences in ball magnate and he also told of the organization of the B. P. O. E., giving an insight into the characteristics of the "Jolly Corks'' from which sprang the order of Elks. MT. Simmons was one of the 'tCorks', and it is more in sorrow than in boast he recalls that of the good fellows who got together under that euphonious name only two exclusive of himself survive.
 Manager Jim O'Rourke who became acquainted with Simmons in the early days of Jim's professional career, add ed to the entertainment of the even ing with a fund of anecdotes. Frank Moran, who will be remembered by many Bridgeporters, was simmons partner in the ownership of the Ath- letics. Since abandoning baseball MT. simmons mas 1OIIOWGd the CnedIT1Cdl profession, being famous from coast to coast as a banjo specialist. He regaled his audience last evening with some of the songs that were the hits of the olden days and he sang them with a fine enthusiasm. Just to help along the spirit of the occasion Loren Delbridge sang one of the old time favorites, "Silver Threads Among the Gold"
 MT. Simmons does not look a day over 60, being remarkably well pre- served. He is still active in his pro fession and has already been booked for two seasons ahead Asked when he intended to quit, he replied most amfab1y that he proposed to be on hand when the Elks celebrated their centenary. Today MT. Simmons was entertained by Daniel Clifford and Patrick Kelly, proprietors of the Amer ican Speciality Co.,, of Cannon street, this city, and he was shown Bridgeport in an automobile. He will be at the Elks' home again this evening to meet some of his old friends.
 The local antlers have accepted the invitation of Brooklyn lodge to be their guests at big barbecue to be given later in this month.
 Hereafter the regular meeting night of the Elks will be Thursday instead of Friday, the change taking effect so that the next meeting of the local lodge will be held the first Thursday in July.
