There is liability of legal squabble
as to the ownership of the wharf used
as a landing for steamer Watch HILL
which plies between Stonington and
Watch Hill. Capt H Hobart Bah
cock is to have new wharf built at
Stonington and has given contract for
the erection of a building on the wharf
at Watch Hill, to be used as an Office
by the Adams Express and the railroad
companies, in connection with Captain
Babcock's ferry business.
The Watch Hill fire district expend-
ed $4,000 for the purchase of the
shore front and the buildings thereon
which are now being removed, and the
owners of the land over which there is
approach to the wharf may object to
the erection of the building thereon, as
it would be detrimental to the plan to
beautify the shore front. The fire dis
trict not only claims ownership of the
approach but also the wharf.
Captain Babcock claims the wharf
was no part of the fire district pur-
chase, but that it is his property,
while others also claim ownership. The
management of the wharf has been
conducted on friendly terms, the users
contributing to keep it in good repair
and considered it sort of party prop
erty.
AS protest is to be made against the
erection of the building, it Is quite
likely that steps will be taken to es-
tai lish the legal ownership and all
rights connected with the wharf.

At Trial Of Ira Grady for Murder 0
Hattie Thomas Bennett, Also |ndiCt-
ed for Murder, Says She Died
Following SCufte With Grady.

The Stabblng affair while at the hotel.
After they returned to the lookup Grady
answered very freely all questions ask
ed him by Officer Baker. When asked
if Bennett was at the house, sald Yes"
Grady when asked about the trouble
said that he had not had any trouble
there. and did not seem alarmed or
frightened, when told that Mrs. Thomas
was stabbed. Witness had often seen
Grady when the latter had been drink
ing. and said that he was very good ma
tured when drunk and had always gone
peacefully when asked to leave the
street.
Witness in redirect examination said:
II asked Grady if he stabbed Hat
French" and he said No, l didn't" Il
asked him if there was a squabble, and
he said Bennett and Mrs French had
some 'diffugulty.'
Sidney f. Bennett who was indicted
with Grady for the murder of Mrs.
Thomas, took the stand at the opening of
the afternoon session. Bennett on di-
rect examination told practically the
same story that he told at the prelimi-
nary hearing. He was at the house play
ing cards with Mrs. Thomas when Grady
came in. Grady asked her (Mrs. Thoma)
if she would keep house for him and she
replied: NO. My husband is coming home
this summer"
Bennett then testified that Grady whis
pered something to Mrs Thomas and she
said No" He then called her a vile
name, after which she went to the door
and opened it and told him to get out of
the house. Grady refused to and she
slapped his face.
Witness saw a little scuff1e between
Grady and Mrs Thomas. She said My
God"' and staggered. Witness caught
her and placed her in a chair. Grady
went right out. Witness then told how
he summoned help.
Bennett made a great deal better wit
ness for the defence than for the State
on his cross-examination, which occupied
~ hours and was not completed at ad-
Journment of the afternoon session. He
testified that at no time did he see a
trated to the jury, with the aid of At
torney Martin, how Grady took hold of
Mrs. Thomas by her right arm with his
left hand
Witness denied what it was claimed he
had testified to at the preliminary hear
inSS. that Grady came to the house at 8
O'Clock or quarter past and left at $50
$50 =, NJ. Witness testified that he had
five or six drinks on the evening of the
murder and was partly intoxicated

Oismant|Ing Process Proceeds in Both
Aouses---Tratfic Agreement Provision
Eliminated by House and Senate
Debate Over Long and ShortHau|s.

Washington, May 3.-The disman-
ting Of the administration railroad
bill proceeded in both houses Of Con-
gress today. Section :, the traffic agree
ment provision, was eliminated by
struck out also Section 12 which
would have permitted any railroad
owning 30 per cent. of another road to
absorb ii altogether. The section pro
hibiting railroad to charge a higher
rate for short than for long haul
was adopted Ey the House in the form
reported by the committee on inter
state commerce. but with an addition
al provision for al. investigation and
report to Congress by the Interstate
Commerce Commission of the facts rel
ative to the long and short haul ques-
ton. There is no section corresponding
to this in the bill as it is pending in
the Senate, but an amendment offered
by Senator Hepburn today to modify
the existing law to similar effect pre-
cipitated an extended debate which
was still in progress when the Senate
adjourned.
Strictly speaking, each house today
was boring holes in separate bill
the Senate in the Senate bill intro
duced by Elkins: the House in the
House bill introduced by Townsend.
The bills at the outset We're Identical
though they We're made different in
various respects by the committees
which reported them. Each version of
the bill has vet to be passed in its own
house and then will have to undergo
~, 1>ft l. .tl,a
Never since it was reported to the
Senate some nine weeks ago has the
bill moved along with such celerity as
today. In rapid succession the Cum
Minis and the Crawford -Elkins amend
ments to the traffic agreement provi-
sion was withdrawn and the entire
traffic and merger provisions stricken
out.
Cummins announced the withdrawal
of his amendment. He expressed his
conviction that if adopted the provis-
ion would be beneficial to the public.
and he said he would re-offer it In
connection with a section to be taken
up later He declared himself to be
mucn gratiiieG over the prospect OF
the elimination of the entire traffic
agreement section.
The motion to lay on the table was
promptly withdrawn by Elkns, who
followed this action with the with
drawal of the Crawford Elkins substi-
tute The last action was acquesced
in by Crawford but not without pro-
test. The Clay amendment striking out
the agreement provision then was pre-
sented. but was not acted upon imme-
diately.
Stone said he did not concur in the
invitation recently extended by Rayner
to the insurgents" to come into the
Democratic fold. He thought they
would do more good where they We're.
The Clay amendment was then ac-
cepted without division and this action
was followed Immediately by the adop-
ton Of Il motion by Nelson, striking out.

FOR CHAIRMAN.
Committee Selects Harry
B. Austin, Phillips,
To Preside al the Republican
State Convention.
New Caucus Will Be Called TO
Fix Old Orchard Tangle.

Harry B. Austin of Phillips was
chosen as the chairman of the Repub-
lican State convention which will be
held in this city June 29 at meeting
OF the Republican State committee
which was held at the Augusta House
last night Mr.. Austin was chosen be-
cause of the declination of Senator
Hale to preside at the convention.
A town committee case from Old Or
chard engrossed the attention of the
committee until after midnight. Two
factions claimed that their committee
was the legal Republican town COM
mittee of that famous seaside resort.
The State committee refused to recog-
niZe either of the two committees but
recognized the old committee.
After much discussion by representa-
tives of both factions. one headed by
William j. Newer and the other by
Frank c. Hills, the State committee
voted to instruct the old town COM
mittee to call a new caucus for the
selection of a new committee, repre-
sentative of the State committee to be
present at the caucus. The State COM
mlttee ruled that a man in order to
participate in that caucus must under
oath swear that he is Republican and
also promise to support the Republican
ticket in the coming election.
The State committee was represent
ed at last nights meeting as follows:

Canada Is Now
Willing to Talk
On Reciprocity.

Washington, May S.-'With the mar
approach of the adjournment OF the
Canadian Parliament interest is re-
vive6 here in the situation as to wood
pulp and pulp wood. The intimation
from Quebec that the Canadian gov
ernment very likely would be willing
to enter into reciprocal arrangement
with the United States which might
involve the removal by the provinces
of the inhibition against the exporta-
ton Of pulp wood in consideration of
favors by the United States in the way
Of lower duties on print paper ana the
free entry of mechanically ground
wood pulp. occasioned no surprise here.
From the time of the visit to Wash
ington last March Of the Canadian
premier, the United States govern
ment has understood that such an ar
rangement would be welcomed by the
Dominion and the ;ntimation then was
made that the proposals contained in
the Mann bill, introduced in Congress
last December, probably would be sat-
isfactory. This bill reduced the duty on
print paper from $3.75 to &2 per ton and
placed wood pulp on the free list.
Owing to the attention Of Congress
being directed to other important mat
ters urged by the President. the qsies-
tion of the modification of the tariff
as to pulp has not beer, considered, nor
is it likely. II is said, that any mevs in
that direction will be made IN the pres
ent session. 4e ssA a s.sr.
1t is understood by the state depart
ment officials that the Canadian govern
ment has practically given its assent
to the proposition to negotiate a reci-
prccity treaty between that country and
the United States and that the matter
will be taken up after the ad1onrnment
Of the Canadian Parliament within the
next week or two. II Is also under
stood that one Of the first questions to
be considered by the representatives OF
the two governments having such n
treaty under consideration will be that
concerning wood pulp and pulp wood.
It Is every where admitted that the tim
ber In the United States available for
the manufacture OF print paper pulp is
rapidly becoming exhausted and that the
Canadian forests must be looked to, to
furnish a large proportion OF the supply.
No doubt is expressed that ths President
and Sec. Knox, who will more directly
conduct the negotiations for treaty.
are very much In earnest In the matter
and will do their utmost to bring about
an adjustment Of the matter. .I, ~
Even under the Canadian law as It
stood prior to the order IN council OF the
province Of Quebec prohibiting the ex-
portation Of pulp wood, the prices Of
print paper had been increasing steadily
and under the new order, which confines
the expectation Of pulp wood to that cut
on private lands. still further Increase
in price Is expected. In this situation
the government onicIals. It Is certain. win
do their utmost to bring about an amica-
BILE understanding with Canada by which
the rigid laws in regard 10 the exporta-
ton OF pulp wood will be relaxed.
