In his weekly letter. Banker Henry C1ews dwells especially upon two things as of great promise. The corn crop, he says, will exceed the three billion bushel mark, the greatest in our history. At but 50 cents a bushel, the total value is about $1, 800, GOO, ,000 This means an increased purchasing power. in the producing States, and an augmented traffic for the railroads, and the enormous crop should mean decreased prices for beef and pork.
 MT. Clews gives extended attention to a recent decision by Judge Otis of St. Paul, acting as~Master. in Chan cery for the U. S. Circuit Court of Appeals. He ruled that State Legis- latures cannot infringe upon interstate traffic rates, and that the low rates that railroads were forced by the State Commission of Minnesota to charge in that commonwealth were confiscatory and the law under whose provisions the order was given uncon- stitutional. This ruling must yet be passed upon by the Circuit court and; if it be approved, the Minnesota Com missioners will appeal to the U. s: Supreme court. Judge Otis also ruled that railroads are entitled to
 
 such portions of their property as are actually. employed in connection with the operation of such roads in their functions as common carriers. This excludes all outside land holdings or other investments, as basis of va1ua- tion. Wall street regards Judge Otis ruling as practically settling the con- troversy over the right of States to regulate railroad rates. It does, how ever, find in substance that States may so limit rates that not more than per cent. on actual valuation may be paid.
 Commenting upon the Otis decision. Watson. Alpers & Co. says in their weekly market letter: ]
 The high character of Judge Otis and the thoroughneSs with which the case was presented and argued give the counsel of the railroads strong confidence that the United States court will sustain the master. If that the States will be subordinated to that of the Interstate Commerce Commits sion, consumnation which. the car riers devoutly wish for. But of even fact that the master declares that the roads are entitled to z per cent. on the investment in their operating property alone and furthermore finds that the actual valuation of the Minnesota roads is far in excess of their total capitalization. The railroads hereto fore have been supine in fighting for their rights, but the sweeping victory obtained in these Minnesota rate cases will doubtless lead to a more militant does not fully accept Judge Otis con- c1uSionS.

CHINESE USING
 GRAPHOPHONE
 COLLECT CROWD

The screams of a young woman crying for help was heard through the windows of the Chinese laundry at John and Broad streets yesterday morning. A score or more of people rushed to the doorway and looked in. Perched upon the counter of the laundry was a hugs graphophone and a, half dozen .Chinamen were seated, enjoying a choice part of an opera by a, Cantonese Tetrazinni. The screams were the work of the artist, hitting the high notes. When the high notes were not being struck the music sounded as sweet as the song of the guinea hen with a flare of cynm ba1S as an accOmpanim ent. Wing Sing, the proprietor of the place, said that the music was s've1ly fine" but that the talking machine was too big because it made every one crowd around the place to see what was the matter.

KYRLE BELIEVES
 IRISH ANCESTRY
Distinguished Actor is Descended From a Long Line of IlIustri- OuS Irish NObIeS

kyr1e Bel1ew, who will appear at Jackson's Theatre next Tuesday even ing in t'The Scandal, is connected by decent with some of the most illus trious families in Irish history. Through his grandmother he is the sole surviving representative of the senior branch of the O'Briens princes of ThOmond, and in the vicissitudes of ancient Irish families he stands at the present moment the heir-at-1aw of the most i11ustrious line of princes and kings whose name, O'Brien, is dear to every 1rishman, as connected with the most stirring incidents in the history of Ireland from the time of Brian to the present era.
 MT. Bellew is the direct descendant of Teige OBrien, who lived in the time of Princess Elizabeth There were three brothers sons of Conor, the third Eari of Thomond. Donough the fourth, or, as he was called, "the great Earl'', the above mentioned Teige, his second brother and Daniel, the third, afterward created Viscount C1ard
 From Daniel descended those heroes who were distinguished as captains Of France, one of whom, Charles Wis count Clare, was the hero of the fa- nous battle of Fontenoy. Donough, the fourth Earl. or as he was called, tions of Queen Elizabeth and in con junction with Lord Carew, the friend of Shakespeare, lent his important in fiuence to the subjugation of the Irish to Elizabeth,s Protestant, policy and Burleigh's schemes of settlement.
 His brother Teige. MT. Beflew's an cestor, steadily held to the old faith and resolutely opposed his brother from first to last. The history of those desperate days may be read in the great work on Irish history, ''The Annals of the Four Masters
 Suffice it to say that Teige was three times imprisoned in the castle of Linn erick by his own brother and three times escaped from the clutches of that sc-caIled Virgin Queen.'' Un- daunted to the last, he fought the bat ties of his country against English az gression and Protestant ascendency.
 His patrimop property was seized by the crown and granted to English inter1opers, the servants of the Eng fish Queen. whose descendants unjust ly hold 1t to the present day.
 As an evidence of the tenacity With which the peasantry of Ireland still cling to their ancient traditions of soil and blood, it may be mentioned that when MT. Bellows father visited En- his, the county town ', of Clare, no sooner had the people discovered who was, in their midst than they crowded around him and welcomed him.

GOODWIN RESIGNS
Gives up Executive Secretary ship on Account of Time Re
 quired For Campaign

Hartford. Sept. 27-Charles A. Good win, executive secretary to Gov. Frank B. Weeks, and nominee on the Repub- lfcan ticket for Governor, has rendered his resignation as the Governors, sec retary and the same was accepted MT. Goodwin's desire to be relieved of the duties of executive secretary is due to the fact that the present situa- ton will not permit of his giving the attention to the duties of the office that he feels that the Governor is en- titled to.
 The Governor in his reply states his appreciation of the position MT. Good win now occupies and regrets that MT Goodwin is obliged to give up the of fee.
 This resignation of Mr. Goodwin was the second one that he has rendered the Governor. Appointed to the posi- tion by the late Governor Lilley on his election, he resigned the place on the Governors death. At that time Governor Weeks prevailed upon him to remain and he has continued the duties of the office up to the present time.
 Governor Weeks would not state whether he would appoint successor to MT. Goodwin to fill the remaining time of his term.

CIGAR STRIKE OFF
Men at Kafka'S Return to Work Tomorrow and Will Get
 One Dollar More

New Haven. Sept. 27-Following the walking out of 80 cigarmakers from the factory of A. Kafka & Co, 275 State street, yesterday morning, an adjustment has been finally reached and the men will return to work to- morrow morning. The men complain ed of the condition of the material they were given to work with-that it was not fully prepared for them.
 MT. Kafka stated last evening that there was no strike at all at his shop; that the men merely laid off for the day and would return this morning; that they had gone out on account of the condition of the tobacco from the weather. He said that the packers and shippers had been working all day, and that if there had been a strike none of these would be at work.
 A member of the union, when seen last evening, said that the nep would return to work tomorrow morning, and that MT. Kafka had agreed to pay the men one dollar per thousand more on account of the condition of the stock and the difficulty of work ing on it.

Contrary to expectation. Senator Bulkeley has replied to Hon. John S. Seymour's challenge to a joint debate on national issues. In substance, the reply is a declination. He deprecates discussion of the tariff question, and trots out the familiar old bogy that it would damage business interests, which argument has been used these many years to bolster up the cases of tariff beneficiaries who do not need heavy protective duties and who in ordinateIy swell their purses at the cost of home consumers while selling at lower prices in foreign markets. The Senator. admits that the Payne Aldrich tariff 'sis a Republican pro- duct for which the party is respon- sible''. and quotes President Taft's declaration that it is the best tariff, bill ever enacted.
 Unequal representation in the Legis- Iature as a factor in Senatorial cleo tions, Senator BulkeIey defends by citing the constitution of 1918. The Senator evidently thinks that changes in population as between cities and country towns have no legitimate ef- feet upon representation. and that a system which seemed right in ISIS. must still be right nearly 100 years later. It has been charged that he is saf the past not of the present. and

that he is veritab1e Bourbon. and therefore unfit for high office in these days. His treatment of the question of representation proves the charge.
 His declination of MT. Seymour's s challenge is wise. He could not have withstood attacks upon the issues of today from one, of whom he says:
 If your party should prove success full at the coming election and you Connecticut would be represented by an able and honest legislator and the Democratic party by one well ground ed and a firm believer in it's principles and with the needed ability to expound them upon the platform or on the floor of the Senate.

NO TRACE. OF
RAILROAD TRAININGS.


 The. substance of the recently pub lished interview with Judge Baldwin, Democratic candidate for Governor, upon the public utilities question. is that as ''our principal public service corporation'', the railroad company, does business largely interstate and holds franchises from four States, t'the line of inquiry that that opinion Ooy U. s. Supreme court) goes on ito make out for a public utilities commission in the case of an interstate railroad is a hard one to trace with precision
 That opinion was. as stated by Judge Baldwin, that if a State undertakes to regulate rates to be charged by railroads for the transportation of per- sons or property within the State, it must be done without reference to the interstate business which the company may do, or the profits that are derived from that business
 That is, the interstate traffic of a railroad does not come within a States jurisdiction. but is wholly a Federal matter. As may be noted, however, the decision does not deny the States right ttto regulate rates to be charged by railroads for the transportation of persons or property within the State and this function may therefore be devoIved upon a public utilities com mission.
 As to other public utilities whose business is mostly or wholly within the State, Judge Baldwin states that most of the legal questions are out of the way'', and that ''there is ample room for a public utilities board and that it would be a desirable mode of guarding the public interests.
 Of course. the Republican organs will at once assert that Judge Baldwin favors excepting railroads from the Jurisdiction, of a public utilities com mission. As matter of fact, he has not expressed any such opinion. He has simply called attention to the fact that the State has no jurisdiction over interstate traffic and cannot confer upon public utilities commission what # does not itself possess. He hassa1so quoted a decision of the U S. Supreme court which. by clear infer ence, conceded the right of a State to regulate rates on traffic within it's boundaries.
 There is not, in the interview, any trace of an opinion in favor of except ing the railroad from the Jurisdiction of the public utilities commission as regards wholly State traffic.

The tresignation of Railroad Commis- sioner Gates is somewhat of a sur prise. It is a good office. one of the kind commonly called "easy snaps,'' and his term had still three years to run. There seems to be a current be- lief that Gates is to undertake. the management of Senator Bulkeley's campaign, and that he will receive for a few months labor more than the salary of a railroad commissioner for three years. Besides, it may be that he foresees an early dissolution of the Railroad commission, with it's duties placed upon a. public utilities commits sion. MT. Gates is very keen poli- fician and well versel in subterranean work. Senator Bu1keley secures in him the peer of any of the working Republican politicians
