SHEET METAL WORKERS
 TO MEET THIS EVENING
Will be Addressed by John J. Hynes General Organizer = Members Requested to be Present

John J. Hynes. of Kansas City, Mo-. general organizer of the Amalgamat- ed Sheet Metal Workers International Alliance arrived in this city last even ing and under the auspices of the local timers union has called a mass meeting at Carpenters hall for next Monday night at o'clock. All work CTS in the timing craft who are mem bers of the organization are requested to attend and hear MT. Hynes talk on the conditions of the trade throughout the country. Any of the members of the organization who are in arrears will be reinstated upon the payment of one months dues. Under the open shop system in this city it is said that many experienced men are working for as low as $2 a day which is not considered a living wage for a married man with family. Some of the men are getting as high as $3.5O per day.

relates to the presentation of his case before the railroad committee or q com mbination of members favorable to the purpose sought.
 Session after session the charter for an electric railway from Bridgeport to Bethel through this town has been renewed for the asking and there the matter rested and still rests. Mean while the public is anxious for a paper. The next application on the part of the Consolidated Road for a renewal should be met by a demand that the applicant furnish, in the form Of a bond, 8 guarantee to build. The cold storage policy in the dis position of the charter thus biennial iy renewed would seem to have gone far enough.
 Four years ago when the charter for the so-called Stepney trolley+in some sense a rival project of the local made great flourish of their read1- ness to furnish a bond which should be forfeited to the State unless they began construction operations within the next two years. When the chart CT came to be granted, however, the pond condition was absent. The of- fer was evidently put forward to dis arm opposition and the accommodat- ing railroad committee allowed it to be whlsked out of sight after it had served it's purpose. And although this charter has since been removed and was favorab1y passed upon last summer by the Superior court the
 
 dead as the ridgeport-Easton-Re ding-BetheI project the history of which goes back over ten years.
 The demand for guarantees of full hlIment in the case of the latter en- terpr1se may not of course, be acced- ed to by the Consolidated In that event they can have no ground on which to oppose g. transfer of the franchise to other parties who are ready to meet the required condition. Whether these parties take up the proposition on it's merits as an in Vestment promising profits from the business 1t yields or with the uIterior object of selling out to the Consoli- dated after the road is built makes no particular difference to the public That with the Consolidated out of the way there will come forward capi- ta!1sts willing to take up the enter prise is reasonable probability If not the situation will certainly be no worse than at present.
 MT. Peck favors the building of a trolley through Bedding and has the force, the stamina and the ability to make his Influence count for much Tn case our citizens give him the op- portun1ty- In this effect he will be effect1vely supported by MT. Bradley the other Democratic candidate for representative, and by Michael Con nery Of Georgetown, the Democratic senatorial candidate for this district Consequently there is one specially we1ghty reason besides many general reasons why these three should be sent to Hartford

Elder Chandler Calls Sons SOphiSty Unworthy of Ancestral Ira ditOnS and Himself Declares For Democratic
 GubeTndtOTia Candidate
Present Republican SpeIbnder of Rocky Hill Was Once e 0Crat and His Parent Says Might Now Have Become Maine Senator, Had He Remained in
 the Pine Tree State

I vinced the best interests and honor o1 the state would be promoted by hls | election. In this connection l fee | deep regret for the presumptuous at tack on his fitness by some of his po- | 1tical critics, including even my own son, George B. Chandler of Rocky | Hill. His counsel to the voters seems | like thAt of Alcibfades to the ancient Athenians, appealing to prejudice At Litchf1e1d his attempt to erase some of the scars of his Torrtngton attack only made them the more Simsbury remarked, injures the cause and makes votes for the other party During his college life and for some years after his graduation my son, George, was an earnest Democrat, a stickler for state rights and an advo- cate of tariff for revenue only. He had been inspired in political faith by his grandfather Chandler, a son of pr Moses Chandler, a Revolutionary soldier, who fought under Stark at the victory of Bennington. His sop histry at Torrington is unworthy of his ancestral traditions and I, as a father, deem it a duty to defend the family escutcheon and Chandler coat of arms even though in doing I find my eldest son an assaflant, who is my junior by only little more than twenty years.
 To those who would judge me se- verely for openly criticisfng my sons attack on Judge Baldwin, I reply I would gladly avoid it, but feel justi- fled, mot that love Caesar less, but Rome more."
 The addresses at Torrington and Litchfeld were clever, ad captandum speeches, well designed to catch the f1otsam and jetsam in elections, but the intelligent seeker of truth should not hesitate to vote for the man who would elevate the high office of gov ernor and add dignity to it.
 Why did George go to the library and laboriously search the records and judicial decisions of Judge Bald win? If his object was to find some flaws in his long honorable record, by which he could prejudice the labor ing man, his egregious failure but ern- phasizes the eminent fitness of the accomplished judge.
 Might Be Senator.
 After Georges graduation desired him to follow his ancestors in the legal profession, but he was not in clined. Had he remained in Maine and continued true to his traditions, now that the state has become Demo- cratic, he would have been in direct line for election to the United States Senate.
 In seeking the sincere sentiment of various classes of voters. including that of the churches, I am convinced that unless excessive, shameless ven ality prevails, Judge Baldwin will win by a substantial majority.

MRS. VAN VALKENBURG IS HAPPY WHEN HER DIVORCE
 PAPERS REACH "HUBBY"
More Charming Than Ever, Her Old SuitOrs Flock to Her, but Get a Cold Reception

London, Oct. 27.-Mrs. Philip Var
 VaIkenburg looking more beautiful ana | far happier than she has been in many
 months, dined with Lord Waleran a l the Ritz last evening.
 Evidently the final success of tht
 long pursuit across the Atlantic ane | throughout the continent in order tc | serve divorce papers on her husband
 had cheered the woman, whose $8,OOO, l 900 have made her the object of many l attentions from noble suitOrs. | Mrs. Van ~Valkenburg would not dis 1 cuss her divorce action. which was l brought on July 31 in Connecticut, but 1 she confirmed the report that the pa pers had been served upon her hus- | band in Paris.
 TRAVELLING INCOGNITO. It has been learned that Van Val kenburg, whose marriage to the then Mrs. William Hayes Chapman follow | ed shortly his first meeting with he1 l last autumn, has been travelling in l cognito since the filing of his wffe's l suit.
 He came from New York to London 1t is said, under an assumed name stayed at several London hotels with out giving his real name, and did not even inform his bankers here of his address.
 Mrs. Van valkenburg's lawyer had Connecticut deputy sheriff here try ing to serve the papers. but he was unsuccessfu1.
 CHASE OVER PARIS AND LONDON
 Three weeks ago MT. Van Valken- burg went to Paris, where the chase continued. but, owing to the assumed name, he was not located. A clerk watch for anyone applying for mail under the name of Van Va1kenburg. On October IT he actually appeared. The clerk thrust the papers into his hand.
 Even then, according to this clerk, MT. Van Valkenburg tried to avoid service. From that day to this he has been lost to his wife's representatives as completely as he was before.
 It is learned that the return of Mrs. Van Valkenburg to America-she sails Saturday-wiI1 be the signal for the immediate prosecution of the divorce case. If MT. Van valkenburg fails to appear g. plea will be made to have divorce granted by default.
 TROUBLED FOLLOWED MARRIAGE.
 The trouble between the couple be- gan last December, only a few weeks after their unexpected marriage in Greenwich, Conn. Mrs. Van Valken- burg declared that her husband was penurious, made her pay all the bills and soon began to neglect her. She laid the blame for her difficulties up- on an unnamed woman, who, she said, death of her second husband, MT. Chapman.
 She met Van Valkenburg on a steamship when she was fleeing home to America last fall to avoid the at- tentfon of foreign noblemen who sought her hand. She declared re- gently that he was the only man to whom she had really given her heart, and that their disagreement was the greatest blow she had ever suffered.
 But last night at the Ritz, wearing a fortune in jewels, and a wonderful Parisian dress, she seemed to have re- covered her happiness.
 Mrs. Van Valkenburg has declared that she will never again contemplate marriage, but since the report of her ope, the old coterie of admirers has appeared anew. They are meeting with no encouragement, however.

In a strong, frank letter to the Hartford Times J. B. Chandler, father of George B. Chandler of Rocky Hill, who has been attacking Judge Bald win in his addresses about the state in this campaign, comes out openly in condemnation of his sons attacks on Judge Baldwin, declares himself for Baldwin, in the belief that |"the best interests and honor of the state would be promoted by his election, and speaking again of his son, says: His sophistry at Torrington is un, l. as a father, deem it a duty to de- fend the family escutcheon and Chandler coat of arms, even though in doing so I find my eldest son an assailant."
 Text of Letter.
 The letter in full follows:
 To the Editor of The Times:
 Two weeks ago the writer returned to Connecticut and since has watched the progress of the campaign with in terest. Being an independent in pol itics, my desire has been to look at conditions with unpr ejudiced eye, to seek merit and truth wherever it lies.
 One cannot fail to see that outward conditions are largely in favor of the party in power, but this is no assur- ance of who will win at the next cleo ton. On one side is power and pres tige, with superb organization and re- source in abundance. The candidate is a pleasing gentleman of unques- toned merit, with, at least, as much exp perience as 8 brief clerkship has afforded. On the ether side is 9 party that has generally met with de- feat for near score of years, and hence lacking the prestige of courage and success, but making wise use of present opportunity for hopeful vic tory by offering to the electors an ideal candidate of unusual enainence on a commendab1e platform.
 Tn GnlIndingr the iTllnrQSSiOnS of the better class of people, there seems to be much dissatisfaction with pres ent conditions, and tentative desire to see what the other party would do if they had opportunity. Maine has set a, striking example of revolt; why not Connecticut? It seems fairly likely that when the thinking voter comes to mark his ticket at the polls there will be greater freedom than for many years and this to the ad- vantage of the Democrats.
 Out For Baldwin.
 Today a, church deacon in a Con- necticut town, a lifelong Republican, expressed his preference for Judge Baldwin, and he knew others who felt the same. To independents, party name means nothing. It is the man with improved conditions that is wanted. I, as a lawyer, have met Judge Baldwin at the bar. I have met him in private life, and am con-

Bedding, Oct. 27.-Whether Red ding has a trolley road in the near future instead of in the dim distance of future generations is likely to de- pend a good deal upon the men the town sends to the legislature this fall.
