 The roads in the territory between the Mississippi River and the Atlantic seaboard. comprising the water-and- rail as well as standard and different 1al rail lines, are understood to be at work on a rate readjustment which will bring to all lines some increases in revenue in both freight and passen- ger traffic
 The extraordinary increase in operat- ing expenses through increased wages to employees. cost of material and tax ation. as well as in many other costs, are the impelling factors in these ad- justments.
 The plan to be followed is said to contemplate a readjustment of the re- 1ation of freight rates whereby the cles of luxury and the higher classes.

NEW HAVEN'S RATES
 TO BE PROTESTED
Commuters in New York Will Appeal to Commerce Com mission Against the
 Higher Fares.

New York, May 4-Commuters along the line of the New York, New Haven &s Hartford Railroad are pre- paring to protest to the Interstate Commerce Commission over the in creased communication rate which the railroad has filed to go into effect on June l. These rates will mean a big increase in the cost of living to the army of people who work in New York and live in towns along the line of the New Haven Road, and will undoubtedly make a difference to those who have bought homes mak- ing an allowance for the old rate of communication.
 Already petitions have been signed by hundreds of commuters asking the Mayors and Aldermen to take con certed action against the increase Mayor Edwin w. Fiske of Mount Vernon took the initiative last night when he sent a special message to the Common Council calling atten- ton to the raise.
 The Aldermen passed a resolution directing the Mayor to employ coun- se1 to appear before the interstate Commerce Commission in Washing ton and also, before the State Public Service Commission to protest against the increase in rates for commuters.
 Mayor Fiske in addition to his mes sage to the Aldermen of Mount Yer non also sent letters to the Mayor of New Rochelle and the Presidents of the villages of Larchmont, Mamaro- neck, Harrison, Rye, and Port Ches- ter, asking them to attend a mass meeting at the Mount Vernon City Hall on Friday for the purpose of taking a determined stand against the increase.

The reason for Bardos' great haste in leaving, for it is evident that he did leave in haste. as he forgot to take his naturalization papers and left cash to the amount of $252 in his home be- sides a bank account, became appar- ent Thursday afternoon.

 But there is hardly a day that even those Senators and congressman who habitually use the tube don't find cesses of a whitewashed brick corri dor that turns and twists in and about and smells hot and fetld.
 It isn't only at the subway en- frances that the explorer of mediae- valism finds himself stumped. Before came necessary, in order to accommO- date legislators with rooms, to use little cell-like boxes, provided with Brussels carpets and mahogany fur nlture, or the same level as the sub basement. How ever, they had light from the terrace, and windows that overlooked the grassy slopes of the Capitol grounds. Once inside these offices-some of them are still in use by the way-the prospect isn't bad. But it is in the getting to and from them that the way is hazardous. Curi- ouS narrow stairways twist down from the upper stories and gloomy brick walls temporarily burnished, have to be passed. And there are so many outshoots of corridors that it is the easiest thing in the world for the meditatively inclined statesman to be wandering along; to suddenly discover that he is off the beaten track, and, finally, after tramping about several miles, to run across the engine rooms
 The Capitol underground somewhat resembles the catacombs. Every few months rare paintings, antiquated re- ports, books, Or files of correspondence are unearthed in some dark, cobweb- by and long-for-gotten cubby hole. They resurrected a portrait, in oil, from just such hiding place last ses- sion. It was picture of one of the former Vice-Presidents, and after an art restorer had spent several weeks on it, rubbing off the grime and dust of several score years, it was dele gated to a place in honor in a com mfttee room.
 Directly underneath the dome of the Capitol, and the deepest level of the sub-sub- basement is a small room like a crypt. Historians insist that the architect of the Capitol intended that it should contain the bones of Washing by the way, laid the corner stone of the original build was evidently built to receive some precious relic. Visitors seldom pene- trate to the room.

 But speaking of the subterranean passages again. An elevator conduc- tor operating one of the lifts to the depths ran across a very well known member of Congress down there re- gently. The member has served for twelve years at least and knows the ropes thoroughly. But he frankly ad- mitted that he had been lost And if you ever let it get out that I was lost" he added confidently to his res- cuer, ''the people up in my district will defeat me sure. It would never do to let it out that I didn't know the way around the Capitol"

PERRY HALE ADMITS
 ACCOUNTS ARE SHORT
But Old Yale Football Player is Not Worrying Over Mayor
 Fishers Charge.

Middletown, May 4.-The arrest of Perry Hale, the old Yale football full back, is expected on the charge of misapplying funds belonging to the City of Middletown, Hale, who is City Water Commissioner, admits he is short more than s5000 in his ac- counts. but says that muddled book keeping is the only reason for it.
 Prof. Fisher of Wesleyan University who was recently elected Mayor, be- gan vigorous action against Hale as soon as he took office. He de- manded that Hale be prosecuted crim- finally, and yesterday the Board of Councilmen voted to allow the Mayor to proceed.
 Hale takes the action of the city Government as coolly as he used to receive signal to buck the Harvard line He was full back on the famous eleven. Captained by Gordon Brown, who is nephew of J. Pierpont Morgan, and it is believed that Brown will en- deavor to save him from jail.

KEEPING TT ALIVE.

Not the least significant sign of the
 times is the disposition. shown by reg
 nlar Republican organs. to keep alive In the public memory the Roman inci- dent of Ex-President Roosevelt's tour of Europe Ordinarily. it would have lapsed ere now into the form of half forgotten memory What does it mean?
 It has been said. with how much of truth we do not know. that MT. Roosevelt popularized himself quite materially with Catholics during his occupancy of the White House. and that, should his name appear in 1912. he would be likely to receive much support from that source. It is now said that Catholics are inclined to resent his rejection of what seemed to them a reasonable condition precedent to the obtainment of an audience with the Pope. Does this suffice to explain fthe endeavor of the regular Repub- 'lican organs to keep the matter fresh in the public memory7 Is it really move, in the interest of President Taft's renomination. to relegate Roose- lvelt to the class of unavailables for s1912? A
 The Farmer expressed. early in the discussion, the opinion that Roosevelt had been fully informed of the condi- !; ton precedent to a Papal audience by the Fairbanks case. that he sought its application to himself. and that his purpose was to play to the galleries" by citing the principle of freedom of action against even the rules and cus- toms of Papal audiences. We have not yet seen any reason to change this opinion.
 Its expression at this time may seem to tend toward aiding the regular Re- publican campaign against Roosevelt; that is. however, a purely Republican matter, with which a Democratic paper may not be concerned. except as it may affect conditions at-large. In our Judgment. the nomination of Roosevelt in 1912 would be nothing less than a national misfortune He Is not one who respects the law when it comes athwart his purpose; he is of those who hold that the end justi- fies the means. a very dangerous principle in this country in these times.

Wilton Wants Light.

The chances are very favorable for the introduction of electric lights into Wilton in the very near future. A re- preventative of the Housatonlc co. I. assed several days in that town last week getting subscribers to the scheme of having that company extend it's wires from the Norwalk line to George town. Some forty or fifty Wilton res indents have either signed applications or are ready to do so. and fully the same number are pledged in George town.
 Cutting and Shooting
 In New Canaan, Saturday night. Ed ward Lynch was slashed by razor in the hands of an unknown Italian and the life of George Youngs was saved by the misfiring of a revolver in the hands of another son of Italy who is now held under $500 bonds, Young was about to drive to his home at il o'clock, when he saw two Ital- ians taking some fruit from the rear of his wagon. MT. Young and Mr. Lynch who was with him. jumped from the wagon and started for the Italians Words were followed by blows. The younger of the two Italians ran into nearby barber shop and grabbed razor. Returning he slashed Lynch on the chest and shoulder. Young had a very narrow escape from death. His opponent drew revolver. He placed the muzzle against Youngs' forehead and pulled the trigger. There was a click but no explosion.
 Suicide in Winnipauk.
 The suicide of Ernest Weise was dis closed, Saturday afternoon, when he was found on the bed in his home in Winripauk. with both wrists gashed with a razor, and a bullet hole in his chest and one in his head. He lived alone and had been dead several days when found. Weise was sixty-four years of age. anud was very attached to his sister. who recently died and it is believed that her death caused him to do this rash act. He was a very steady man in his habits.
 Dogs to be Killed.
 It has been pretty positively deter mined that the cows on the Kelly farm in Danbury that were bitten by a strange dog that ran through that sec ton several weeks ago, attacking other animals, developed rabies from the bites and as a precautionary measure all of the twenty-five or more dogs that were attacked by the same dog are to be, killed. This action was de- cided after a visit of Heman O. Aver i'll. State Commissioner on Domestic Animals. to that city.
 Forgery and Embezzlement.
 The investigators of the Daniel Bar dos sudden disappearance, which has caused such a sensation in Norwalk. and in banking, religious and fraternal circles within the past few days, are nearly convinced that Bardos is not the only party concerned in the em- bezzlement of funds and in the forg- ing of notes. The accountants who are engaged in going over Bardos' ac- counts find that the losses to socie- ties, individuals, banks and church will amount to upwards of $7.00O.

population to draw from that larger
places have. The members of the p.

Notice.
To the Farmers:

To the Farmers:
GENTLEMEN
We wish to advise you that we are
installing at this place, a new Grist
Mill, for the purpose of grinding Buck
wheat, Feed, Meal, etc., in fact we will
be able to turn out grists of all kinds,
with exception of wheat flour, which
we expect to be able to grind later on.
This mill will be equipped with very
best modern machinery that can be
had for this purpose, and we will be
able to turn out work equal to any in
the country. This mill will be driven
by both gasoline and steam engines, so
there will not be any waiting on lack
of power Our location is the very
best. We have the Penna Railroad on
one side of our mill, the Buffalo and
Susquehanna on the other, with sid
ings from both roads. Parties wishing
TO ship grain over these roads can
have the best of railroad facilities for
doing so, we expect to have it Just as
convenient for those that prefer to
come by wagon.
Another matter we wish to call your
attention to, is this it does not matter
If your grain is little damp or wet,
we have 1t so arranged that we arc
able to dry grain bv steam in = very
lew hours, this is one of the ideas con
ceived by the writer in order TO be able
to get the very best yield of -four that
was possible.
We expect 70 be able TO grind by
latter part of September, in fact our
feed grinding machinery Is new ON the
ground, which We will have ready In
about ten 70 ttteen days, the balance
Of machinery is being completed as
iast A. possible by the makers Now
gentlemen, we know that a mill OF this.

Contract: Let.

The contract for the concrete side
walk, curbing, steps and retaining
wall in front of the Court House, was
let on Tuesday to Fred Bliss, bid be-
ing as follows:
$3.50 So. feet of Sidewalk at 15c per square foot
327 feet of Curbing at 6Oc per lineal foot.
26O feet of Steps at soc per lineal foot.
300 feet of Retaining wall sl.45 per lineal foot
Mr.. Bliss has had wide experience in
the concrete business and we have not
the least doubt about the job being
done in first class manner. The
walk in front of the Court House has
been in a bad condition for long
time and this work has been badly
needed.
