M'LEAN MAN
 FOR BULKELEY
Story That State Senator Good win, of Hartford, Has
 Switched Over
HAS GREAT SIGNIFICANCE
May Mean CapituIation of Hartford, Although Story is Somewhat
 Doubted There.

Hartford, Sept. 28.-The story that the breach between State Senator l Walter l.. Goodwin and U. S. Sena- tor Morgan G. Bulkeley has been healed, is taken here with a grain of
 salt, although, there may be some foundation to it. Senator Goodwin
 has been classed as one of the most
 ardent supporters of candidate for
 Governor Goodwin, and incidentally of candidate for the United States Senate, George P. Mclean. As is well known, candidated for Governor from his own city, and the so-called Lake-Bulkeley faction was triumph ant. But Lake was beaten for gover- nor at the State convention.
 The statement regarding Senat tor Goodwin is to the effect that this prominent member of the Second dis the reelection of Senator Bulkeley aQd that Senator Goodwin's nomina- tion for second term is thereby as- sured. This will have a. very big eff feet on the fortunes of the resp ective candidates for senator and governor in Hartford. Those best informed de- Goodwin forces in this instance means the choice of two senators and two representatives from Hartford who will vote for the retelection> of Sena- tor Bullkeley. This, of course, is contingent on the election of the 1egisla tive members who are on the republican ticket.
 The whole story is declared by sup porters of candidate for U. s. Sena- tor Mclean to be largely '*hot air. it is said.
 The nomination in the Third dis trict seems to be going a-begging, ex- cept that Former Mayor Alexander Harbison, who is said not to live in the district, would like the empty honor of running very much. In the First district, now represented by President Luther, John F Forward is prominently mentioned. MT. For ward is a Trinity man, lives in the Tenth ward and is in Andrew F. Gates law office.

The facts, the Hour con- tinues, are that ''AIr. Hills friends thoroughly understand the situation, and that .'he is taking no part in the election fight between MT. Haw1ey and Mir Vollrner."

In a letter to President Roosevelt, written by President Houck of the Eastern States Indepehdent Telephone Association in September, 1908, refer ence is made to 'the selection of Sen ator W. Murray Crane as chairman of the Auxiliary or Associate commit tee of the Republican organization" during the Taft campaign of that year, and the following statement ap- pended;
 MT Crane is the largest individual stockholder in the American (Be1D Telephone & Telegraph Company, pop ulariy known as the Telephone Trust. He controls, it has been asserted with out contradiction, $10,000,O00 of it's stock. He is a member of it's board of directors, and confessedly the dom mating figure in the organization.
 Senator Crane is still high in Re publican councils and in the favor of President Taft. He is considered the best gum shoe worker in the party. and the most effective ''whipper-in'' of stand-pat voters in the Senate. No one knows his methods. but all can see the results of his work.
 It now appears that he represents, among other of t'the interests, the American Telephone & Telegraph Company which some months ago ac- quired control of the Western Union Telegraph Company and is one of the largest corporations in the country and is constantly acquiring indepen- dent lines, in alleged violation of the antitrust law.
 President Roosevelt paid no atten- ton to the Houck letter, nor has Pres ident Taft taken any action against the A. T. & T., but on the contrary he still retains it's alleged t'dominat- ing figure among his confidential ad- viserss and agents.

k Shortage of water is the complaint from most cities. Nothing less than a heavy and protracted rain will re- ieve the situation. Water shortage means less protection from fires, and it may also mean an increase in the number of typhoid cases. The latter danger would be lessened, if not re- moved, if the people of cities suffer ing from shortage, would boil their drinking water.

MELLEN SUGGESTS A
 COMMERCE COURT

] H.
 In his recent letter to the Connecti- cut Editorial Association, President Mellen of the New York, New Haven & Hartford. road, states that he does not object "in principle to the crea- ton of a tribunal to hear and effec- lively pass upon complaints about rail road charges and railroad service'', but he declares that ''such a tribunal ought to have the independence, inn fpartiality and ability which for many generations have characterized our courts of justice; and that such a tri- buna1 ought not to exercise functions i which are properly legislative in their nature, but ought on t1e other hand to decide without arbitrariness between the parties to each controversy, ac- cording to justly ablished principles and rules of law
 AIn concluding his letter, MT. Me1len asks Hthe thinking men of this State ! to consider carefully the idea of estab- fishing Q court of commerce, which shall with the independence, inpar- tia1ly and ability which we are accus- toned to in our courts of law, and with complete simplicity of procedure, hear and give judgment on all contro- versies involving intricate commercial
 
 against excessive charges or unfair or faulty service by railroad companies and others who serve the general pulp lie"
 He seems to fear that positions upon a public utilities commission would : become political pIuns, and he appar- entIy prefers that members should be appointed by the Governor rather than elected by the people
 The railroad company has seldom failed to exercise an effective infIu- ence upon the appointment of comrnis- sioners dealing with matters in which it is interested. It has for years practically controlled appointments to the Railroad Commission, and so far as we now recall, that body has never thWarted the company in it's more inn portant wishes. These commissioners are nominees of the Governor, and few, if any, of them could have been e1ected& on a popular vote. This is a sufficient explanation of MT. Me1Ien's superior confidence in Governors over the people.
 His original suggestion of the crea- ton of a Court of Commerce limited it's jurisdiction to railroad matters; now, he favors extension of it's juris- dictfon over all public service corpor- atfons Adoption of this suggestion would merely substitute the proposed
