In a circular letter addressed today to the General Assembly the Rowland Dry Goods Company have made public the correspondence between themselves and the lawyers for the United IlluTnin- ating Company, in which 'fthe club is brandished aloft'' in the form of Sec tion 3,s16 The circular asks for the repeal of the section and declares it to be a blot upon the statute books of the State. The circular letter follows in full;
 To the Members of the General AS
 sennbly:
 We believe the time has come for a little plain speaking direct to the mem bers of the General Assembly and the presentation of direct evidence to show how Section 3,916 of the General Stat utes has been used as club by at least one electric power concern.
 In 1900 The Howland' Dry Goods Company. decided to install it's own one reason for that act. It was learn ed that the same company as supplied this company at 10 cents per k1loWatt hour was supplying another consumer under similar conditions for as low as ' cents The equipment was install ed and did it's work so well that about three years ago it was decided to en- large it in proportion to the enlarge ment of the building occupied TOT IHe most part, by this company.
 It may be only just to say that when the United Illuminating Company learned thattla store was in earnest in it's move to put in it's own plant, concession in price was offered. But that was at too late a time. This company did not make a bluff" to secure a lower rate when it planned ter install it's own plant. It meant business.
 Early. in 1906 the enlargement of the power plant was decided upon. We learned that in building a plant ade- quate to provide for the needs of the future, we should have temporary sur plus of current. It was then that we took up with Thomas P. Taylor, own CT of adjoining buildings, the ques- tion of supplying him. with current. An agreement was made, and it was that agreement which brought upon us the anger of the United Illuminating Company.
 We connected our wires with MT. Taylor's in April, 1907, but not until August, 1907, after the Legislature had adjourned. and no relief could be sought at your hands by this Com pany did the United Illuminating Company make any move. They then had one of their legal representatives call to give us a friendly warning later, they caused the following let ter to be forwarded to this Company: (Continued on Page 8.)

GROOVED RAILS
 PROMISED SOON
Vice President Townley Writes Mayor that They Will Be Shipped In Two Weeks-But There Will Be Longer Wait for Spe- cial Trolley Work.

Main street will remain as it is for at least three weeks. Mayor Lee has received letter from Vice President Townley of the Connecticut Co. to-day stating that the much sought far grooved rails will not arrive here unA der two weeks.
 Director Biltz has announced that he is ready to proceed with the laying of the wooden block pavement in Main laid.
 Mayor Lee said this morning tf,-- if the letter relative to the grooved rails had not arrived he would have tried rather than hear further complaints about the condition of the street.
 The letter follOwS:-
 Dear Sir
 ''I have to-day promise of a two weeks shipment on Boston grooved rails for use on Main street, Bridge port. It will probably take about week more for the rails to reach it's destination. I send you this data agreeable to my promise and would add that we shall do what we can to secure an earlier shipment than the above, and endeavor to expedite the work after the material is delivered as much as we can. The above ship ment applies to straight rail, At Main and Congress street and State street, possibly also at Gilbert street, we shall have to renew the special work which it will take longer to get. I believe, however, that the special work need interfere but little with the street, as we have usually found it feasible to defer paving just at such special work without delaying work on the balance of the street.

Hartford, July 14.-Champ1oned by Represent ative Johnson of Newtown, tI1e bill to provide for the going into effect of night telephone rates in Con necticut at p. m. instead of 10 p.m., passed by vote of 92 to Al to-day. MT. Johnson said that originally night rates took effect at p. m, but the ho1,r now in effect was almost too late to accommodate many of the com pany's subscribers throughout the State.

Any Bill Favored that Penalizes
 Scorchers.
 At a meeting of the board of gov ernors of the Automobile Club of Bridgeport, held last evening at The Stratfield, strong expressions against the much mutiIated automobile bill now pending before the Legislature at Hartford, were heard. President F. T. Staples, who is a member of the legislative committee of the Connecti- cut Automobile association, explained that an attempt was being made by the politicians at Hartford to take away the supervision of the automo- bile registration from the secretary of states office and create a political of fee, called motor supervisor, at an ex- pense to the state of at least s20,OOO a year.
 It was further explained that post master, named Allen of Middletown, had been turned out of office for per- nicious activity and that he was en- deaVoring to have the office of motor supervisor created for him. AS he had influential friends at Hartford there was some chance that 1t might be done. The bill is now in the hands of Governor Wooks.
 MT. Staples further said that the bill was full of errors, owing to the
 
 added without much investigation. Some of these amendments had no penalties attached and it was believed their enforcement would mean contin- ual litigation. He said the automo- bile interests were willing to pay a fair license fee, providing graft and politics were kept out and the money applied to good roads, although they considered it class legislation. They would favor any bill that would keep close watch on the scorcher and reck- less driver and impose adequate pen alties.
 After a discussion of the matter President Staples was authorized to write to Governor Weeks on behalf of the club and request that he veto the bill now before him.
 The matter of traffic regulations was discussed and a new dashboard em- blem was adopted. The action of the contest committee in returning the entrance fees of those in the free-for- all event at Sport Hill, May 30, who were unable to seompete on. account of the accident. This took about $50 out of the club treasury. but 1t was consid- cred sports&aplika thing to do al- though it was not compulsory.

by many Indiana governors. During
his administration he obtained new
laws that revolutionized some things
in this state and II he had been pos
sessed OF a congenial nature he would
undoubtedly have accomplished much
more. He put the saloon business on
the toboggan in Indiana, and this was
his one great aim. It was his one
great fight, and he won. The poll
ticians point to this fact to prove that
Hanly will not again be a candidate
for office. They say he has accom-
plished what he wanted to accomplish
and that he will rest satisfied. But II
any party or any one else undertakes
to upset the work he accomplished
there can be no question but that he
will again be in the political arena,
making fight Of the kind that Hanly
can make, but not as a candidate.
The man who made the statement
yesterday that Hanly will not be a
candidate again for any office is very
close to him. He knows Hanly's in
tentions probably as we'll or better
than any other man In the state. and
he makes the statement as a fact He
says he knows it to be true.
This ought to set at rest the stories
about Hanly's intentions.

Hanly will never again run for office.
This can be stated as fact on the
authority of the man who is probably
closer to Hanly than any other man
in Indiana This man says that If the
republicans or any other party in the
state are worrying about Hanly's in
tentions for the future they may rest
easily. for he will never again be a
candidate for any position.
This statement was called forth
from the friend Of Hanly by an in
quiry yesterday as to the many ru-
mors which have been in circulation
to the effect that Hanly might run
for governor, and that he would prob
ably be candidate for United States
senator against Senator Beveridge
Such stories have been going around
for months, but it is believed that
they have originated principally in the
minds of some over-zealous admirers
of Hanly or in the minds of some OF
the Industrious political newspaper
writer's of the state.
Never Taken Seriously.
There has never been a time when
the stories have been given any cred
