DREW WOULDN'T SAY
 CROOKED" STREET
Not for Wealth of Nation
 In Barrelled Gold Dust

Editor of the Farmer
 Sir:-Publish a few ideas on the Congress Street matter. No one comes forward to say a word against straight street. A street 55 feet be- tween curbs and to tear up both sides of that street, I ask where a mans judgment, experience, or observation, justify it? I make the statement, to take the South side, not only makes it perfect in every particular, but will cost 25 per cent less than when straight walk from the North side of the draw to Main street is made. If you are to compare costs, it must be on the same finished result. Now I would satisfy Logan, it is an every day thing to move that building and contents undisturbed, eighty feet west move it back to the line,. this gives Logan the corner, with what is left and 16O feet on the street.
 I wish to say that my estimate of MT. Manwaring is, if the Mayor had the appointing of a commission for Bridge on Stratford avenue, I should fight for and advocate for him as the first man on that matter Also, I would vote for him for the next May or If all the valuations of every thing in the U. $. were put into clean Gold Dust in barrels and offered to me to say a crooked street should be made instead of a straight one, I would not take it. The Public and the succeeding generations are entitled to some considera tion.

ALDERMAN JACKSON TAKES ISSUE WITH FIRE CHIEF MOONEY How Sparklets, Made to Be Hung on Christmas Trees, Were Discovered In
 Germany Merchants of City Have Bought Their Goods and It Looks Out of Place to See Last Minute Scare
 Heads

Alderman H. H. Jackson denies that
 Sparklers" are a dangerous piece of fireworks. He challenges the, order of Chief Mooney, relative to their sale, and declares that the ordinances do not give the head of the fire depart ment. acting as fire marshal, more power over the sale of sparklers than he has over the sale of firecrackers, matches and cigars. Nevertheless MT. Jackson said that he will obey the order of Chief Mooney. Instead of selling the Sparklers in his stock he will give them to purchasers of other goods in his store.
 MT. Jackson, today, sent a conmun- ication to the Farmer, which reads as follows:
 "Just a word about 'Sparklers.'
 'Three years ago in Germany buyer for a New York firm and my self found in Leipsic, Germany, what was celled then Sparklets. This in it's use was intended to be hung on Christmas trees, and those made in Germany had picture on the cover showing it throwing out sparks on the tree. The foresight of the buyer from New York saw the possibilities of using this safe article for the 4th of July, so he ordered quantity and they were shipped to America.
 ''The first year they couldn't begin to fill their orders: the second year they were popular, and this the third year they have increased in popular ity, and, unknown to many of the people of Bridgeport, these that are being sold in Bridgeport were made in Bridgeport. The firm on Water St. have employed 125 hands and have xi1oCr nj md 6oxy were thoroughly inspected by the In- surance Companies and upon inquiry from those who took out insurance upon the plant, they will confirm the statement that they were satisfied thoroughly so. when they issued their policies.
 'Some two weeks ago I sent for Chief Mooney and had him come to the store and gave him a box of SparklerS, which is the new name, and told him they did not explode; there was no noise. and that naturally there was some heat. At the time he was here the Mayor was here and we talked the matter over. I told him I was going to sell these and not hear ing from him I have telephoned about 8 or 10 times at various places and have been trying for the last 10 days to get him.
 ''When I saw some little notice in the paper the other day I telephoned to have him meet me at the store at a stated time. but have not seen him. This morning I have telephoned to four different Engine Houses and the Board of Fire Commissioners and have called and left instructions for him to call at the store. AS yet, have not seen him.
 Tn his duties prescribed by the or dinances of the City of Bridgeport I fail to find where he can discriminate against Spafklers more than against fire crackers, matches, cigars, of as equally an inflammable nature.
 ''The merchants of this city have bought their goods and it looks lit tie bit out of place in the last "A hours to have these scare heads put in the newspapers relative to Spark lers,"

Teddy Wouldn't Accept
 Nomination for Governor
lsneciaI from IInited Press !

Special from United Press)
 Utica, July 2-The boom designed to make ex-President Roosevelt the Re- publican candidate for governor of New York State in the next election which was launched by the Republi- can Club of Utica two weeks ago. came to an abrupt ending today when it was learned that Secretary Adams had received a personal letter from Roosevelt asking the club to cease any agitation to have him nominated for governor. The letter follows:
 My Dear Sir:-May I, through you, cordially thank the Republican Club of Oneida County for it's message of ap- preciative good will. Believe me- I appreciate it and I trust you will make the club understand that I do appreciate it. But also ask that the club at once stop any agitation to have me nominated for governor. It would be an absolute impossibility for me to accept With high regards, sincerely yours, Theodore Roosevelt"

SALOON OUT
 OF BUSINESS
 GREAT BRITAIN
One Third of Them Closed Owing to Increased Li- cense Fees from
 $500 to S1.2OO
Special from United Press.l

NOpSCldl LTOfH OnlLeQ FTcSS.l
 London, July 2.-The closing of one third of the saloons in Great Britain before the end of the year as the result of the increased license fees under the hew budget, is predicted to- day, following the first days collection of fees.
 The fees are governed by the rental value of the property occupied by the saloons and they average S1 200 under the new budget as against about $500 under the old. This quadrup1fng of the tax put hundreds of saloons out of business vest terday.
 Thousands of saloon proprietors are paying their license fees this year in the hope that the cutting down of the number of saloons will so increase their business that it will be profit able, despite the increased tax If this does not prove the case probably third of the remaining saloons will voluntarily go out of business next year.

NEW YORK, Jan. 24,-Secretary of
War Dickinson, who returned last
week from an extended trip to Porto
Rico and Cuba, apparently has been
chosen by President Taft to do the
official globe trotting for the present
administration.
His next trip, it was announced to-
day, will take him to the Philippines
and Hawaii.
IF a man is to serve properly as
secretary of war, it is essential that
he be familiar with our insular pos
sessions" said Mr.. Dickinson. 1.-THE
president has told me it is his desire
that 1 visit the Philippines and Ha-
vail No plans have been made for
the trip, and 1 cannot say how soon
| shall leave"
The secretary of war expects also to
make frequent journeys to Panama
before the canal is completed. lie
expressed confidence that the ditch
would be finished as promised, by
January /, 1915.
Mr.. Dickinson said he had heard
rumors in Washington that Col.
Roosevelt, upon his return from Al
RIGA, is to take active charge of the
construction of the canal.
