 At a meeting of the general commit tee of 80 members of the Knights of Columbus held in the Chapter rooms yesterday, the special committee re- ported that they had conferred with w. F. Hobbs, president of the manu- facturers' association, and Frank W. Bolande, president of the Bridgeport Business mems Association.
 Both were favorable. the committee reported, to the proposition of observ- ing Columbus Day generally. They promised to take the matter up at the next meeting of the directors of their respective organizations. Within a few days it is likely that definite steps will be taken towards the closing Of factories and stores for at least part of the day.
 The Knights of Columbus parade in which 5000 knights from all parts of then State, as well as national and State officers of the order. will be held here that day, and the 10 nights carnival of the Knights of Columbus in the Armory will open the same night

Ten men charged with being fre- house kept by Michael Rose at 26S North Washington avenue, raised a row in the city court today when they learned that Attorney Henry Green stein represented to the court that he was their counsel and that they de- sired a continuance. They supposed their cases had been disposed of when they were warned to be on hand again on Wednesday morning.
 GFeenstein had been retained by Rose who furnished bail for himself and the 10 men. and the lawyer sup posed that he was to look out for the interests of all the prisoners. They held a contrary view and protested when they learned that arrangem ents had been made for their reappear- ance on "Wednesday.

MELLEN WANTS COURT OF COMMERCE INSTEAD 
 OF UTILITIES BODY

Charles S. Mel1en. president of the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad Company, pleads for a Court of Commerce, instead of Public IJtil- ities Commission, in a letter issued today to the Business Mems Associa- ton of Connecticut.
 MT Mel1en says:
 Gentlemen: find your letter of September 18th awaiting me on my return to New Haven after few days absence.
 The most vital question which 1n- derlies your inquiries is, in substance whether I object in principle to the creation of a tribunal to hear and ef- fectiHely pass upon complaints about railroad charges and railroad service, Favors Tribunal to Decide Controyer-
 stes.
 If I understand this question arigF1t. I agree that it ought to receive a frank and unequivoca1 reply My an~ sWer is, categortcally: No; do not. But resp ectfully submit through you to the people of this State-First That such a tribunal ought to have the independence, inpartiaIity and have chara cterized our courts of jus tice; and, Secondly, That such a. tri- bunal ought notSto exercise functions which are properly legislative in their

nature, but ought on the other hand to decide without arbitrariness be- tween the parties to each controversy, according to justly esta blfshed princi- ples and rules of law.
 Tho General Assembly. You invite a discussion by me of the trustworthiness of the Genera: Assembly of Connecticut. If I may be frank without giving offense, I have to confess that in private have often exercised the American citizens privilege of finding fault with American legislatures. I haVe privately said that there are so many individual members in any American legislature who are more or less pre- judfced agafnst railroad corporations, that it is often extremely difficult for such corporation to get a fair hear ing before it.
 Here in Connecticut g great dis turbance is sometimes made because of what seems to us an entirely req sonable request for legislation for the benefit of our business, which is con ceded to be the largest business of this State In spite of all argument upon our part, such requests by us are more often refused than not, and have sometimes been refused when precisely similar requests made bys others have been actually granted for their benefit at the same session.
 Yet in spite of the various facts oR-5

WANT SENATOR ARNOLD TO MAKE
 RUN AT LARGE

Several prominent Republicans who were talking over possible can- didates for representative to the Gen. eral Assembly today were of the opinion that Senator Thomas Arnold will be asked to take the nomination as a running mate for Major Thomas Boudren. Senator Arnold has been elected in his own district and in his senatorial district and his friends be- lieVe that he would be a, strong can- didate running in the city at large. So far Major Boudren has been the only candidate who has had the cour age to say that he would run ton the Republican ticket this year. Senator a candidate for mayor next year.
 So far there are three candidates for representative nomination on the Democratic ticket. They are Attor- ney William w Bent, Joshua Meltzer, who formerly ran for Senator in the 23rd senatorial district, and Attorney William l.. Zepp.
 Alderman Robert H. Gould is candidate for renomination for alder man from the First district.
 man N George ,r1s W. King for e alderman el in the Twelfth district is not taken kindly by the voters of the district because of his present connection with public service corporations and because of his identification with the passage of the odious 20 year water contract A large delegation of vot F and asked him to take the a13ermanic nomination. MT. Poland is semploy- ed at the plant of the White Mfg. Go. and has lived in the 18th district all his life. He is highly respected there by many people.
 It is also hinted that MT. Poland will be the district chairman to suc- ceed George Zink, Jr., when Town Chairman Percy c. Farwen makes his appointm ents.
 The Democrats of the 21st sena- f0ria1 6iSfTict hPgrinT7iT1cr tn slider the name of Frederick Atwater for senator. He is a member of the perman ent pavem ent commission and was recently elected president of the L. A. w. at the national convention held in Boston. MT. Atwater has not been waited upon and asked if he would accept the nomination.
 Former Alderman John N. Near has been mentioned as a candidate for the nomination but it is under stood that his duties as superintend- ent of the police and charities build ing require a great deal of his time so much so that it is doubtful that he would be able to attend all of the sessions of the legislature.
 In the 22nd senatorial district the Republicans are finding it hard to get candidate to run as the oppon- ent of Archibald McNeil. Senator Arnold has declined a renemination and Alexander L. Delaney has re- fused to be a candidate
 Several candidates who have been offered the job by party leaders want to know if they are considered of so little account to the party that they are only asked to run when nothing 1 except defeat seems possible.
