NO PLEDGES
 FROM BALDWIN
Democratic Governor of Con- ReCticut Refuses to Make
 Promises.

New Haven, Conn, Oct. 17-Forrner Chief Justice Simeon E. Baldwin, the Democratic nominee for Governor of Connecticut in letter to the State Business Mems Association gave the members to understand that if he be- comes Governor of Connecticut he will not be an automaton.
 He was asked to tell the association what his attitude would be on the matter of appointing members of public service commission. In reply he said:
 ''If chosen to fill that position I shall assume it free from any pledge as to my official conduct. That would de- pend, in every instance, on my best judgment at the time, formed after as careful consideration as could give to all the reasons for and against the action to be taken.
 t'I believe in the political philosophy, as to this point, of Edmund Burke. The Governor of a State is the guard ian of the interests of the whole peo- pie. He must serve them according to what is his best judgment at the time when he is called to act. He must be a man, not an automaton.
 The officers of the State Business Mems Association have drafted an act providing for the appointment and the duty of a public service corpora ton commission and in their letter to Judge Baldwin then remarked that the asso- citation understood when drawing the act, that the State had no authority over the matters relating to interstate conRmerce.
 Judge Baldwin has informed the as sociation that their understanding is hardly correct, and he added:
 ."The State has considerable author ity over such matters when it does not assume to deal with them so as directly to burden or restrict such commerce. It does not seem to me that your bill goes beyond these limits. It is therefore my opinion in reference to your question; Would the bill drafted by this association. in your opinion, if enacted into law, be con strued by the courts as an attempt to give the proposed commission pow CTS over interstate commerce and therefore be unconstitutional for that feason?
 That it would not be so construed nor be unconstitutional for that reason is my opinion, as a lawyer, of a legal question, and I think I can give it without impropriety. There would be serious difficulties of administration in respect to the facts which could be taA ken into account in fixing rates and the exercise of the right to prescribe terms of services. But they would not, in my judgment, affect the con stitutionality of the proposed act.''

Critically i'll with pneumonia at pr. J. W.

 ON TOMORROW
Especial from United Press

Especial from OnlIed PFeSS)
 London, Oct. 1.-The trial Of Dr. H. H. Crippen, for the murder of his wife, will begin tomorrow Tn Olu Bailey Court. Such great importance attaches to the trial that 1t is consId- cred that Lord Chief Justice Aver stone will himself preside. King s Counsel Muir will be in charge Of the prosecution, assisted by Barr1ster Humphreys, who appeared for the Grown in 4he preliminary hearing
 Barrister A. A. Tobin. assisted by Barrister HuntIey Jenkins. has been retained to represent Dr. Crippen be fore the jury. Barrister F. E. smith. assisted by Barrister Harrington Ward, will appear for Miss Ethel Leneve, indicted on the charge Of be- ing an accessory after the fact. , Solicitor Newton will prompt the barristers for the prisoners. It is generally believed that the defense will demand that Lord Chief Justice Alverstone instruct the jury in favor of Crippen as soon as the Grown has introduced all it's witnesses, on the ground that sufficient evidence has not been adduced to convict This will necessitate a reply on the part of the Crown before the Lord Chief Justice announces his decision. It is not believed Lord Alverstone will grant the demand of the defense, pre- ferring to allow the case to go to the jury.
 If Crippen is acquitted, Miss Leneve will probably be freed. It is report ed that both the prisoners are con fdent.

BUFFALO JONES'
 BIRDLIKE FLYER
 IS GIVEN TEST
Ranchman's Huge Flying Machine Develops Much Lifting Power with
 Small Heavy Engine
Jones Satisfied with Test and Will Install 8O-Horse
 power Motor - Descrip- tion of the Jones Airship

Threshing> the air with it's huge wings, the ortopter airship of Col. c. w. BuffaIo) Jones was tested Satur- day in the yard of Ryan & Lutz' s carriage shop at PIP State street. and demonstrated it's ability to get off the ground, though equipped with a heavy engine of small horsepower.
 The test was made solely to prove that the machine had lifting power, and more than satisfied Col. Jones horsepower engine which will weigh less than the Is horse power affair with which the test was made.
 The Ortopter flying machine works with huge canvas wings, which beat down upon the air, forcing the ma chine upward. the acti1n being similar There are no screw propellers or fans. but the engine power is applied di- rectly to the wings.
 In Jones machine the wings are ar like huge water wheel. They turn in a circular motion, the upward moving blades feathering' automati- cally and rising edgewise while the downward moving blades present their full surface to the air.
 In making the test the machine was tied down to the ground with num- Der of stout ropes, begged into the earth. A small automobile engine, taken from an old machine, was in stalled. The engine gave only about 10 horsepower ana IS 0ACr04fIeIy nedVy-
 Despite the small power and the considerable burden the big machine tugged at it's ropes when the wings comm enced to thresh the air. The huge fans strained powerfully and the whole contrivance lifted a couple of inches, off the ground, fugging at the ropes. So great was the pressure of the air against the huge wings that several of the small braces were brok- en and Col JonesS Swil1 install strong CT ones throughout his airship.
 Col. Jones was more than satisfied with the result of his trial and will install a powerful engine, built for air ship work. The new engine will de velop at least 80 horse power and will be of extremely light construction, so that the Jones ortopter machine should develope ample lifting power to raise one or two passengers.
 Col. Buffalo Jones is ranchnan, and the owner of two immense sheep farms out west. Last year he sprang into fame by following in the foot steps of Col Roosevelt in South Afri- ca and capturing with a simple lasso the same game that Teddy brought down at long distance with the high ca1fbred rifles.
 Moving pictures were taken of the Col. Jones' expedition and are now on exhibition in various parts of the zines are running serial stories of the expedition. Several of the animals captured, including a very handsome leopard are now on exhibition at the Zoo at Bronx Park, New York. N MT. Jones has been living in Bridge port for several months superintend- ing the construction of his airship. The construction work has been done at the Whitehead Motor works on Holland Heights.

 Today the gang called the patch work convention to, order again and made dIOCnGr SCaD. MT. Bartlett was their unanimous choice, They did not pledge him to Mclean. Perhaps Mir.

 Attorney Bartlett gracefully &C., cepted the secondhand honors which were so cordially rendered to him to day and took the occasion to land MT. Burnham. He said: HIt is to be regretted that Mr. Burnham could not see his way clear to accept the nomination. His name on, the ticket would have been a tower of strength, attracting to our ticket the votes of many Democrats who know him and admire him for his sterling wofth.'
 Attorney Bartlett unconsciousIy put his finger on the cause of MT. Burn hams refusal to run. Because he is a man of sterling worth his princi- pies would not permit him to accept the soi1ed nominatioR, handed to him the way it was.

Most of her sum mer had been spent at the residence of her daughter at South PortSrn outf1.

While the shippers will not begin presenting their side of the case until Friday, it was the opinion of those who have been fol- lowing the hearings that the railroads have made out so good a. case that their positions, at least in part, will be sustained.
 A railroad man said today that, in his opinion, the companies operating east of Chicago and north of the Ohio river. will be permitted to so in crease their earnings by advanced rates that they can be assured of S35 GOO 900 annually.
