BURGLARS ENTER
 RAILROAD DEPOTS

The ticket offices in the Newtown and Stepney railroad stations were entered last night. The jobs are be- Heved to be the work of tramps who
 make these stations an annual visit. No tickets were disturbed. At the Newtown station the side door was forced, the long distance telephone booth broken into and the cash draw CT ransacked. But a few pennies were in the drawer. The telephone booth contents were not large. In Stepney a side window was forced and the door from the waiting room into the ticket office was forced. Ninety-two cents in pennies in the cash drawer was taken. Here also the phone booth was broken open, but the haul here could not have been large, as the. receipts were only collected Thursday. None of the other stations along the road report that their places were entered. The burglars passed the Botsford station in going from Newtown to lStepney. but made no attempt to enter it.

A Disgraceful Exhibition
Oew Haven Union.)

The minority report on the public utilities commission, familiarly known as the Chandler-Whiton bill, was de- feated in the lower House of our Gen eral Assembly yesterday. by vote of 105 to 103. This is the bill that was offered as substitute measure for the Barnum bill. passed by the Senate day before yesterday.
 ter one of the most disgraceful episodes \ in the history of Connecticut politics.
 While the vote was being called the railroad lobby boldly invaded the House and brazenly conducted a put ton-holing campaign among the repre- =sentatives.
 The lobby threw caution to the winds. Members were openly coaxed, threatened and urged to change their votes- The railroad lobby leaven in the legislative bread began to work. A representative from Hartford county. who had voted for the Chandler ings, by name. changed his vote

Banish the Lobby
Waterbury Republican, )

The rejection of the }Chandler amendment in the house demonstrates that the same old Consolidated Rail way Co.,, is still in power and in. a situation to use it. The Barnum bill conceived and shapened in the sanctum Of the big corporation, was a. good enough utilities bill for it, and when it became evident that after passing the senate it was likely to be killed in the house, the lobby forces were called out with the result. of rejecting the minority substitute by the narrow margin of two votes. Without a lob- byist in sight there is no doubt but that it would have passed and the suec- tacle of well known corporation law yers circulating here and there among the members during the call of the house is a clean cut commentary up- on the necessity of eliminating the lobbyist form of legislation. Several members changed their votes after the call had begun.
 Barring the lobbyist from the capi- tol is of much more Importance than the fate of any bill.

spite all predictions to the contrary. the House in so far as the action thus far taken is concerned, is opposed to the minority report on the public util- mum measure which eliminates the railroad and trolley business from supervision by the proposed commis- sion.

 The new liquor law which. has passed the Connecticut Senate and House and is now waiting for the signature of the Governor says that all saloons must close at 10 p. m., but it gives the elect ors of cities and boroughs the right to extend the closing time to midnight by majority vote cast at the regular borough or city election.

The speech which Hon Benjamin
r. Tillman delivered in the senate of
the United States on last Monday was
awaited BY the whole country with
deep interest. After reading the ex-
planation which he makes of the con-
nection he has had with the western
land agents in an effort to purchase
government land, we can convict him
of imprudence only. He has been
unfortunate in the use of language,
but man of Tillman's temperament
gets into trouble very often with his
tongue, and this is certainly one in
stance.
The people OF the country will be
slow to accept the verdict that Ben
TiIlman is dishonest. His rugged re-
gard for the political and social
amenities of his times has given him
many an enemy, and unfortunately
fol him one of these occupies the
most powerful position in the govern
ment Of this country. that of presi-
dent. Tillman has censured and crit
icised the president often, and Roose-
welt has felt the sting of his biting
sarcasm and irony. With all of the
miIions of the law at his command,
with all of the secret agents wo1 king
in his behalf, all that Roosevelt can
convict him of is Incorporate speech.
The thought occurs that if Roose-
welt is using the secret service men
to develop shady transactions upon
the part of members of the senate
and the house, why not give the coun-
try the benefit of their investiga-
tions? VIII the people believe that
Tillman, a Democrat. is the only man
who has done wrong? What about
the thousands of Republicans who
occupy positions of trust and respon-
sibility toward the people? Why not
lay bare some of their operations?
Is it not a little singular that the
activity of these sleuths should be
directed along the lines of Democrats
and enemies of the president only?
These are some of the thoughts that !
occur TO us in considering the Till |
man case. The people of the eoun-
try will be slow to convict honest I
Ben Tillman upon the showing of
Roosevelt.

SHERIFF SEXES STOCK.

The stock of It. M. Morrisey, who,
since Statewide prohibition went into
effect, has been running a saloon on
DeSoto Island. near yicksburg, has
been seized by Sheriff Kelly, and the
place closed up Judge Bush recently
ordered the city engineer of Vicks-
burg to make d survey, and this sur
vey demonstrated the fact that the
saloon was located about one hundred
and fifty yards inside the Mississippi
line The saloon men were tipped
off. ard before the seizure was made
part of the stock was moved to a tent
across the Louisiana line, where the
selling Of booze continued. At the
time the seizure was made the pro-
prietor of the saloon was in Mem
phis arranging to place a boat in
the Memphis Vicksburg trade, but
upon his return was served with a
warrant charging him with unlawful
retailing, and his barkeeper, w. j.
Fitzgerald, was arrested on the same
charge.
DeSoto mound was formerly part
of Louisiana. having been formed by
a cutoff in 1879. According to the
survey recently made by the city en-
gineer of Vicks5urg. that part of the
island on which the saloon was 10
Gated was formed by secretions. and
lies within Mississippi territory. The
matter will probably be taken to the
courts for final adjudication.
