GOOD OYSTER.
 SET LIKELY
Authorities Say That, Despite Reports,
 the Conditions are Fair.
DISCOURAGING STATEMENTS MAY BE DUE TO THE BILL BEFORE
 THE LEGISLATURE
(New Haven Journal-Courier.)


 (New Haven Journal-Courier.)
 Despite the talk in some quarters that the oyster "set' in Long Island Sound was to prove a failure, that the consequent loss to New Haven planters would amount to at least s1O0,0OO and that the resulting loss will amount to $2,OOO,000 four years hence, the statement was made last far fetched.
 the story has been set on foot and is being industriously circulated by grow CTS who are desirous of creating a feel ing of sympathy for themselves in or der to head off if possible the progress of the bill now before the legislature at Hartford which calls for special commission to make a new assessment of the value of the oyster farms in the sound-in order to determine as to whether the oyster growers are pay ing a proper tax to the state.
 From good authority it was stated last night that the season had been favorable for oyster spawning, the water had been mostly of the desired temperature, there had been no violent storms, that the ''set'' off this city was already reported as first class, and that the oysters taken up here were found to be full of spawn. This source of information expected that a good ''set' would be heard from from off New Haven within a few days.
 The oyster beds of Westport are to be placed under the jurisdiction of the shell fish commission, as have those of New Haven and Orange.

charges made by White.
The deposition In substance says
that she made the same voluntarily
before the Misses Oldfield and Lund.
in order to relieve her conscience of
the strain. In part she says:
kid White came back to my room
and knocked on my door and called
me outside and said he wanted to
see me. He asked me how much
money this man had. | told him 500
or 500. lie asked me II | would
take him out the back way and
told him Yes He asked me II
would take him back of Story's sa-
loon and | did. Terry and Curly
were there and Terry knocked this
man down and took the money and
went to find George and Monty to
give them their cut out of the money.
George came over and told me to
stand pat and say nothing. Monty
did the same also. Terry and Curly
and George told me not 10 be afraid
that there was no danger of getting
| into trouble. And after they knocked
this man down | went into the sa-
loon and went back over to the dance
hall, and in about an hoar this man
that got knocked down came back
over to the dance hall. The next
day George told me ii | said anything
he would throw me out of town.
Then after they had split the money
up they came over to the dance hall
and wanted to give Jack Sullivan a
cut out of 1t and Jack told them no
and left 1t lay on the bar, and they
drank it up. Then Kitty called Cur
| ly back to the room and told him
that she would swear that she saw
nothing. George told Gladys to pick
these mems pockets and If she did
so. she would give him cut out OF
| the money and GLADYS did On and
he also told me the same. George
told be not to pay any attention to
Curly. that he was only running a
bluff. Just trying to scare us out.
And Monty told me to keep still, that
he could get a man to go on my
bonds. And told him | would
