EACH WANTS THE
OTHER ARRESTED
tFrom saturdays Advertlser.)

Lee Flu Sow and Ho Chuck had
fight. Lee Flu Sow says that Ho Chuck
committed battery upon his person,
most numerically. Ho Chuck says that
he treated Lee Flu Sow with the great
est consideration, but that Lee Flu beat
him up terribly.
Therefore Ho Chuck appeared at the
police station and swore to complaint
charging Lee Flu Sow with battery.
Hardly had he gotten out of the way
when Lee Flu hove above the horizon
and also swore to a complaint. But his
was against Ho Chuck. The second
complaint was duly made out, but when
Lee Flu Sow started to depart, the Ho
Chuck warrant was served on him.
Lee Fu is blessed with a sunny dis
position, so he dug down into his pocket,
brought to light the money required
as bail, took a receipt, and went on
his way rejoicing, promising to be in
court today at the appointed hour.
Unless Ho Chuck received a lot worse
injuries than did Lee Flu Sow, neither
of the men is much the worse for the
fracas. Lee Flu was very jolly while
the Receiving Clerk was making out
his bail receipt. Incidentally he insist
ed that he did not batter Ho Chuck.
Ho Chuck and the police have not yet
come together.

HAROLD THOMPSON ROBBED
And the Robber Gets Twenty Years in
 Sing Sing.


 James G. Jamieson, known as the 'Taxicab Highwayman, was arraigned for sentence ill General Sessions, New York city, last Thursday for sandbag- ging and robbing Harold B. Thompson, formerly of the Twin Lakes House, and we'll known in this vicinity. After re. viewing the robbery of which Jamison was convicted, Judge Mulqueen sen- fenced him to twenty years in Sing Sing at hard labor.
 Jamieson was arrested on the morn ing of Jan. 23 in a restaurant on upper Third avenue and was later identified by Harold B. Thompson, a chauffeur employed by the New York Taxicab Company as being one of the men who had sandbagged and robbed him in Central Park the night before.
 Thompson testified at the trial that Jamieson and another man had engaged his cab at the Savoy Hotel and told the chauffeur to drive them to One Hundred and Twenty fifth street. While pro- ceeding along the East Drive the men signalled him to stoB, and after doing so he left his seat to see what was wanted by his two fares inside.
 AS he opened the cab door he was struck on the head with a sandbag and knocked unconscious. His pockets were rif1ed of $25 in cash and several little trinkets of value, and then he was tied hand and foot and placed in the cab, where he was left by his assailants.
 Jamieson accepted his sentence with stolid indifference. He is 8 rather re- markable looking man and speaks seven languages luently. He has travelled all over the world and shows traces of re finement and education.

Mir. Characterization

No doubt you 'ye had your troubles with a Congress on your hands And lot of office-seekers with unreason- able demands; No doubt you've had your moments of resentment and of gloom When some one started i'll to launch an unofficial boom. You've felt the threat of panic and you we felt the feYerish haste That comes when currency's required, with not an hour to waste; But wait until that moment of wild, feverish distress When the office boy yells "Copy !" and it's time to go to press If you long for new sensations you have struck the proper gait To fly from present ills to those unknown
 which lie in wait, You can calm the politician with stern,
 magnetic eye, But not the staunch subscriber, whom they call "Vox Populi." It's easier by far to face a lion ill hls lair Than a stony-hearted foreman who is holding forms up there, Your memory of past trials will seem like a kind caress When the office boy yells "Copy !" and it's time to go to press Instead of the applauding throngs that
 daily used to wait You Il meet with experts who resent the
 way you punctuate; Instead of bland admirers you will run across lot Of men who look upon your choicest
 phrase as tommyrot. There are always harsh and unappre-
 ciative folks about Who think that life's one object is to
 get the paper out. So just you wait You'll sure regret
 your old job more or less When the office boy yslls "Copy !" and
 it's time to go to press

SHALL STATE CERTIFY TEACHERS
Education Committee Hears Arguments
 For and Against.

The committee on education held a lengthy hearing last week on the bill introduced by Senator Luther, which provides that every teacher shall be certificated by the state board of edu- cation. School teachers and school boards galore appeared to give their opinions on the subject. The main argument for the bill was that it would make the qualifications in the state regular, and those against it were that it might force on school board teachers whom they did not want, or might cause a shortage of teachers.
 Principal O. H. Reyes of Hartford said that other professions demand proper certifcation and teachers should be in- cluded. Superintendent Mclean said that from long experience he was con vinced that local examination of the teachers was mere farce.
 Miss Stone of New Hartford, super intendent of schools in North Canaan, said that the certificates at present are not uniform. but differ according to ideas in the various towns. The school boards who have the work to do would be glad to get rid of the responsibility and to have uniform sy stem. Principal WI. Twitchell of Hartford compared the efficient schools of Germany, where the teachers are certifcated, to those of thls country.
 Principal Hood of Winsted claimed that it was not right for the state to compel parents to send their children school if it could not provide suitable teachers for them. Local school boards will not be excluded from having any voice i'll the matter of teachers quail tication, according to Superintendent Forbes of Torrington. The local board W ill not be obliged to hire teacher be- cause of the fact that she has certificate.
 Superintendent Beede of New Haven said that this new condition would make the state board alive to the situation and responsible for if,
 Opposition to the bill was offered by MT. Fletcher of Enfield who said that uniformity was not always a good thing. Diversity was sometimes necessary to real progress and he hadn't heard of many country towns that were materi. ally dissatisfied with their lot and were petitioning the Legislature. That it was too arbitrary was the objection which Mir. Wood of East Windsor raised. It is often impossible to get enough certificated teachers. Ex-Comptroller Mitchell of WoodburY was also opposed to the bill Others opposed thought that it would be impossible to have the present teachers take the examinations successfully and that the small towns could not get enough teachers, but Secretary c. D. Hine saId that this opinion regarding shortage was erroneoGs and that he thought no incon- vehience would arise on that ground.

Vaill, who has filled numer- ous places in the world of letters, his last position being secretary and treas urer of the Connecticut commission of the Louisiana purchase exposition in 1904, is cousin of the late Captain and Edward F. Gold and spent much of hls boyhood with relatives in this place, his mother being a daughter of Benjamin Gold, who was an early settler in the village and built the house now occu- pied by Mrs. Robert Baldwin.

THE OVERCUTT|NG
 OF THE FORESTS
TIMBER IS BEING REDUCED
Amount of Wood Annually Consumed in the United States is TWenty-Three Billion Cubic Feet-Some Startling Facts.

It has been estimated that the amount of wood annually consumed in the United States at the present time is twenty three billion cubic feet, while the growth of the forest is only seven billion feet. In other words, Americans all over the country are using more than three times as much wood as the forests are producing. The figures are based upon large number of state and local reports collected by the govern ment and upon actual measurements.
 The State, Forester of Connecticut, in recent report, has given figures on growth and use for New Haven County, which give many more valuable details than are generally to be obtained. and well illustrate how the forest is being reduced by over-cutting. In this county a very careful study was made on each township sof the amount of forest, the rate of growth, and the amount of timber used. For the year 1907 the timber used was 120,O00 cords, in the form of cordwood, lumber. ties, poles, and piles. The annual growth on all types of forest land, including the trees standing on abandoned fields, for the year, reached a total of 70,OO0 cords. Thus the amount cut yearly exceeds the growth by 50,000 cords.
 The amount of standing timber con- sidered as merchantable and available for cutting within the next few years was found to be 100000 cords. Each year the annual growth increases the supply on hand by 7O,000 cords, while the use decreases it by 100000 The net reduction is therefore 50,OO0 cords a year. If the cut and the growth re- main at the present figures, the supply of merchantable timber will be ex- hausted ill about twenty years. At tie end of that time there will be large amount of forest standing in the county but 1t will be i'll tracts under forty years of age, containing wood below the most profitable size for cutting. Cordwoc d could still be cut, but supplies of u e most profitable products, like ties aId lumber, would be practically exhausted.
 Connecticut's case illustrates what is meant when the exhaustion of the timber supply is spoken of. It does not mean that every tree will be cut and that the ground will be bare. It means, on the other hand, that year by year the people of the country are cutting more timber than the forest grows, and that within comparatively short time the con. tinued loss will have SO reduced the forest that it will be difficult and ex- penaive to obtain timber of useful size in sufficient quantity.

their books will be given them. The check for the withdrawal of money must be signed by the pupil. and also by the principal, teacher or parent. During the summer vacation deposits may be made and money withdrawn from the bank direct, the cashier acting during that time for the teacher. Should the applicant be unknown to the cashier. he must be identified before receiving the money.
 ,"The masses know how to earn better than they know how to save.'
 "Take care of the pennies and the dollars will take care of themselves"
 We reproduce an extract from letter showing how the plan has worked in other sections. In letter dated Hart ford, Conn, July 18th, 1908, MT. Arthur D. Gall, the efficient principal of the Second North Public School of Hartford says: "You may be interested to know the following facts concerning our school bank to date. Our children in fifty de- posits have deposited nearly seven thou sand dollars. 699 of our scholars have bank books in the Society of Savings Seventy-fve per cent. of our children have deposited something. Assuring you that we believe in the efficiency and efficacy of our school banking, am with kindest personal regards, Yours very truly, A. D. Call.''
 The Second North school is ill 8 poorer district of Hartford, half the children are of Yiddish parentage. There were about fourteen hundred of them. MT. Call wanted to help them. They used much cheap candy which kept them in candy shops near the entrance of the school; one in full blast and the other just opened. gladly aided in institut- ing this approved system of saving pen nies for higher purposes. We arranged with bank to take the savings, talked to the scholars ill their different rooms on the advantages of saving their pen nies and their health. One of the candy shops long ago moved away and the other has lighter trade.
 The scholars in the school of Villa mantle, Conn.,, that took up the savings system last year, have saved $900, and the principal pronounces the work a full success"
 The School Savings Banks system, which has been used in one ward of the city of Augusta, Maine, public schools for three years, was taken up in them all last fall, and fifty more teachers are now collecting the savings of the scholars in thelr respective rooms, be- cause the Superintendent of the city schools and the School Board recognize the value of teaching thrift. Maine leads the United States, it is stated, in the amount of bank deposits per capita of her population. The scholars saved in Belfast, $75O, and in the one ward of Augusta, $1125.
 In Canaan the scholars are enthusias- tically taking hold of the project and there is absolutely no doubt that it will be 8 success.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE
Editor NEWS {:

Editor NEWS:
 We were very sorry to hear that your neighbor, Great Harrington, would allow that beautiful little town to have liquor saloons set up there for 1909. We arc so rejoiced here in Winsted to be rid of the rum shops for this year and we hope for all time. Money is nowhere, busi- ness is not thought off in an "offset" to saving our boys and our neighbors from the awful temptations of having to pass day .after day the open saloon. We would not be selfish enough to get money this way. The principle of vot- ing out the dram shop is what we go for We are satisfied that our town cannot point to one that has the welfare of the town at heart, who would ever wish for the licensed saloon to be set up Ill our midst again. We see no drunken men on our street we are glad to patronize the eating places that are kept now where once the saloon keeper dealt out glasses of rum. I wish to say that those who carry on this business can not make it a respectable business. He may plant flowers around the deadly pool but we still receive the deadly stench therefrom. Keep entirely off the track and there's no danger of being run over.

not Mr.. Gordon will retire entirely from

have been under his personal charge
for so many years.

ence. Mr.. Gould expressed surprise tina.

become known, and said that he was
here on other business. Mr.. Go-Id said
that he and Mr.. Cotter had been to-
gether during the evening, but he re-
fused to state the nature of the busl-
ness which brought him to Cincinnati
or what was the result of his confer
ence with the c. H & D. president.
