MONEY WANTED
 FOR POLICE
 AUTO GARAGE
Plans Have Been Drawn by
 Commissioner Hurley and Approved by Mayor Lee.

At last it seems as if the con struction of the much discussed ga rage for the housing of the police and charities auto vehicles is immi- nent. The rough sketch which Com missioner J. J. Hurley, of the Police board drew up has been approved by Mayor Lee. The only question to be settled is where the money is to come from The building will cost about e2, 900. 1t is very likely that bids will be asked for within a few days. SThe building will occupy the entire width of the yard in the rear of DO lice headquarters, 54 feet It will be one story affair with two galvanized skylights and will be built of brick. The whole front will be practically open. There will be five sliding doors There will be an apartment for the horse patrol and the horse will be kept in the building. Next to this apartment there will be one which will be used as a store room. A tank for the gasoline will be placed under the ground.
 There will be no provision made for sleeping quarters for the chauf- feur of the auto ambulance.
 It is thought that the money can be raised, although President G. E. Hill said this morning he did not know just where it would come from. Neith- CT does he know who will take care of the horse.

Moroccan war. the anti-clerical situation and the world wide protest following the execution of Francisco Ferrer, the Barcelona Anarchist, were the primary causes of the fall of the Cabinet.

A new competent statesman willing to accept the re responsibilities and difficulties of the situation will be hard to find.

A member Of the Conservative party. loyal to the crown and accepting the royal pro-churcn views in the anti-Catholic controversy would be the national choice.

Harbor Master Morris
 Thanks His Delegates

When asked for an expression of opinion. this morning. Harbor- master Charles H. Morris said: 'I recognize that nominations are made by a majority of the dele gates. I did not have majority. am nevertheless grateful to those delegates who believed that I could best lead the Republican party this year. and to the members of my party generally who expressed their views to this effect at the primaries. If I have a regret it is that the resolutions offered by the delegates friendly to me were not considered by the convention am sure that if they had been con- sidered they would have been ac- ceptable. They are at least some of the principles which I believe to represent true Republicanism and the needs of Bridgeport. especially the plank releting to direct nonni- nations and the 'Harbor plank and I shall continue my struggle to in- cace my party to accept them.''

This is the third in crease since October with the result that the rate charged at that time has been doubled in a single fortnight The banks of Germany and Belgium have also increased their rates and it is intimated that there is a distinct u1- derstanding among the foreign bankers whereby the rate shall be kept up in order to check the wave of specula- tion which is sweeping all over the money.

NATURAL ENEMY OF MOSQUITO
Fish Known as millions" Relied On
to Exterminate the Pest That
Spreads Malaria.

That the destruction of mosquitoes
and the elimination of malaria should
be brought about by the greedy ap-
petite of any tribe of the piscatorial
species, seems like far-off and i'm
probable dream, but such an event
is the hope and prophecy Of men who
have been experimenting with min
ute fresh water fish from Barbados,
known as millions" (Girardinus pecil-
loides), large number of which have
recently been presented to the ZOO
logical gardens in London.
They are of special interest be-
cause of their supposed action in
preventing malaria. This disease is
far less prevalent in Barbados than
in other West Indian islands, and 1t
is claimed by many that this is due
to the presence of millions" in the
fresh water pools.
The little fish is very voracious and
destroys large numbers OF the larvae
of mosquitoes that spread malaria.
It is proposed to make experiments
In the line Of introducing this fish
into tropical countries where malaria
Is prevalent.

lowa,s MuIct Law.

How Iowa, having embedded prohib-
ition in its state constitution turned
the system into local option is told in
the current Harper's Weekly in an
interesting way.
The transformation process is ac-
complished by what is known as the
Mulct law.
Any city in the state having a pop
ulation of more than 5000 may, upon
the filing of what is known as a Pet
ition of Consent, signed by a majority
of the electors who voted at the last
election, secure immunity from the
penalties of the prohibitory law.
Towns of more than $500 population
and ess than 5000 may secure immun-
ity by fling a Petition of Consent
signed by eighty per cent of those who
voted at the last election. Counties,
as such. may take advantage of the
provisions of this statute if siXty-ive
per cent of the electors consent in
writing. Having obtained consent,
the saloons thus established must pay
a tax of 5000 each-one half of which
sum goes into the treasury of the mu-
nicipality in which the saloon is To-
Gated. Municipalities may impose
such additional tax as the governing
bodies thereof shall see fit to impose.
There is no limit.
The law provides for strict regula-
ton of the saloons. All places where
liquor is sold must be close between
10 p. M, and a. M, and on Sundays
and all legal holidays The business
must be conducted in a. single room
having but one entrance or exit, which
opens upon business street. No
screens, blinds, or other device of sim
liar character are permitted. No fur
niture of any character is allowed in
front of the bar No female may be
employed about the premises All
forms of gambling, amusements and
obscene pictures are prohibited. The
provisions relative to the establish
ment of saloon near a church or
schoolhouse are drastic and the con-
sent OF adjacent property owners
must be obtained before saloons can
be established anywhere.
According to the Harper writer,
the beneficial results of this legisla-
ton soon became so apparent as to
practically silence all criticism. One
of the best features of the law is the
one which provides that a saloon may
be established only by petition. There
is no recurring turmoil in Iowa by
reason OF the wet or dry" PROPOSE
ton incident TO local option law. If
a community wishes to rid itself of
the saloon the Petition of Consent
rfe u I,.a,.
law brought into force. The burden
OF expense and effort in the establish
ment of saloons is put upon those who
expect to profit through them. Those
who favor the establishment of sal
oons must do so openly, over their
own signatures. Fraud is thus placed
out of the question. The Harper man
says that the good effects of this sin
gle provision can scarcely be over-es-
timated.-Burlineton News.

Tax Invades State Rights.

The report of tne finance commit
tee TO the senate of the amendment
to the tariff bill creating two per
cent income corporation tax on all
joint stock companies and assoeia-
tons organized for profit and every
insurance company is matter that
the states might well consider as ii
involves a principle If taxation that
may eventually result in great loss
to the states. How far might not the
federal government go in the seizure
Of property for taxation which prop
erly belongs to the state once the
precedent of taking property of this
kind is established?
The two per cent income TAX IS a
small matter but, small as il may be,
it takes a portion of property that the
state relies on for taxation and the
amount that would be raised in state
like Vermont, while insignificant and
but fraction Of drop in the bucket
to the government, would mean con-
siderable to a small state like Yer
mont in state improvements The
small town must rely on its taxable.
property for revenue by taxes, the
state must rely on its property and the
government should rely on it's proper
ty without stepping over TO cut slice
out of the states possibilities for tax
alton. The small town must stand up
for its rights to live, the state that
can pay its expenses from taxation of
its own corporations must hold its be-
longings for that purpose because if
the government SHOULD keep on de-
pending more and more on state pro-
perty for taxation the logical outcome
would be that sooner or later the state
could not pay its expenses from the
taxation of its own corporations and
It in turn would have to rob the towns
and cities to make ends meet or put a
direct tax on the people. If the state
resorted to the former the small town
would have to increase its taxes: if
the state took the latter means it
would come out of the people direct.
About all state like Vermont can
ask in this fight for revenue is for it's
rights. The Vermont corporations be-
long to the state for taxation and an
inheritance tax belongs more proper
ly to the state than the government.
Where and when will the lines of
classification be defined and drawn?

An Ancient industry.

b 1t would be difficult to say where
exactly and at what date the manufac-
ture Of cotton fabrics began. In COM
paratively modern times, says Country
Life, it has become an industry of i'm
portance in Europe. but it has -four
ished in the east from a period too re-
mote to admit of calculation. The
Egyptians certainly used both cotton
and linen materials, for fragments o!
such stuffs have been preserved among
the other relics of their ancient civil
lization, and there is much reason to
believe that the elaborate draperies of
the Assyrians were cotton or muslins
finely woven and of delicate texture.
In China, too. and India the same
kinds of material have been the COM
mon wear of the people from time i'm
memorial. In fact, everywhere through
out the east cotton fabrics were pro-
duced and used long before the primi-
tive Europeans had begun to develop
any of the graces of civilization or in
deed had ceased to be anything but
skin clad savages.

LARGEST Decorative Painting.

another record has been broken"
says the Paris correspondent of a
German paper. This time the size
of a painting will stand for the new
record. Until now it has been sup
posed that the Tintoretto Paradise in
the palace of the doges, in Venice,
which covers a space equal to 154
square meters, was the largest work
of that kind in existence. Malo-Nord's
creation for the Paris courthouse will
have surface space of about 300
square meters and will undoubtedly
be the largest decorative painting In
the world"
