< Leading French American citizens of the city held an informal meeting at Napoleon F. Bissonette's office last night. John de VicQ, chairman of the French American Democratic League of Connecticut, came on purpose to at tend the meeting. Plans for active part in the campaign were discussed. A. Comnnette was chosen to represent the Bridgeport division on the executive committee of the league and also as the leagues representative to the State reunion and banquet which will be held in New Haven next week. Assurances were given by those present that be- fore the campaign is really started over one hundred names will be added fo the roll of the Bridgeport division. vicq, of Willi1nantic, president; Dr. Orner LaRue, of Putnam, vice presi- dent, and Napoleon Bissonnette of this city, secretary.

FELL FROM ROOF RATCHET IN HAND
 ESCAPED UNHURT
Comrade of Falling Work man Snatched Timber and
 Pulls Himself to Safety
Two Men In Peril When Trail Support on Roof Gave Way and Let Them Slip Over Edge.

To fall from the hoof a house 35 feet, with shingling hatchet in his hand, and escape with nothing worse than a slight cut where the hatchet blade chopped him as he struck, was the re- markab1e experience of John Stephano. young carpenter of 379 Bostwick avenue, working today on new build ing at North avenue and Pacific street.
 And falling with Stephano and saw ing himself in almost as remarkable a young carpenter, who seized upon a piece of timber projecting from the building and pulled himself back up to the roof.
 Both men were shingling the roof when the frail bit of board supporting them gave way and they shot over the edge Under the cave was a scaffold, and Stephano still clinging to his hatchet, bounded from this like "a rub Der ball.
 Cummings seized a timber supporting the scaffoId, and with a bit of aero batic work that caused the few work men who saw the strange happening to hold their breath, he pulled himself back up to safety, then hurried down through the house to his prostrate comrade.
 Stephano struck upon a piece of hard ground. and lay inert. They feared for moment he was killed. But be- fore Dr. McQueeney arrived in, the arn- bulance. the young man had so far recovered himself that h was able to walk into the ambulance.
 At the Emergency hospital Dr. Mo Queeney was unable to find any other injury than the slight incision of the little finger of his left hand. He dressed the wound ond Stephano was so well that he was able to walk home.

 In determined attack the present pork barrel'' system Of river improvement appropriation. President Taft, in a speech here today, said in part:
 To-day you are celebrating the opening of another great improve m ent which must in the future have much to do with the business growth of the city. I mean the improve ment of the Ohio river from Pitts burg to Cairo. It is to this improve ment that I shall direct my remarks this afternoon.
 '"The waterways commission points out that in localities where water borne traffic has increased, as on the Great Lakes, careful and elaborate provision has been made for the handling of freight in the most econ omical. manner An examination of railroad car loaded with freight is not much greater than would be the speed of a tugboat and barges on one of our rivers; and if we could have a river navigable at all times of the year at the same depth there would seem to be no reason why schedules could not be made quite as regular as those upon railways
 "One of the great reasons for the decrease of river transportation has been the completion of railway phy- traffic managers of railways have lowered their own traffic rates where there IS water competition -sunr1I the river business has been entirely dis couraged and &hen raised the rates when the river business has been thus suppressed. Provision has been made in the railway act passed at the last session of Congress which will prevent railways from adopting this means of destroying river com petition. The truth is that with the new development of river business it will be possible to. give power to our Interstate Commerce Commission to make regulations for the freight traf- fic between rivers and railroads that will greatly encourage the continu- ance of the river business, for if we would continue our water ways in the most economical manner, there must be a friendly cooperation, as the waterways commission points out, be- tween those engaged in transporta- ton on the water and those by rail.
 The cost of the improvement of the Ohio river is to be upwards of $63, 100000. The plan is to appro- priate sufficient money each year so as to complete all the dams in twelve years. I wish that Congress had arranged to expend the money in less time and complete the work, for its completion is not alone inn that it will confer commercially in the Ohio valley, but it is important to encourage or discourage further invest1nents of this kind in other di- reetfons.
 'I earnestly hope that the time may come in the not distant future l when the plan for completing this Ohio river improvement shall be years for completion instead of twelve One of the great hindrances to the success of the improvement of our waterways has been the delay 1 incident to the scompletion Of each project. That has grown out of the method pursued in framing the river

AMBASSADOR STRAUS
 CUTS OUT RUSSIA
Especial from United Press.

London, Sept. 21-In resentment against the slight cast upon him and the Jewish race by the CZar, Oscar S. Straus, United States Ambassador to Turkey, has abandoned his intend ed trip to Russia, according to the Con sstantinople correspondent of the Lon don Globe.
 when Straus first announced his in- tention of visiting Russia the Russian government, instead of giving him the privilege passport as customs accords fo ambassadors, issued to him a cert1- hcate designed especially for Jews. This certificate authorized Straus, as Jewish merchant, to visit Russia ssupon business"
 The issuance of suchz a. certificate occasioned surprise. in all European State departments and ,t11e discussion became so unpleasantE that the Czar subsequently, ordered a.tspecial permit which was innmedfatelyssent toIStEans.

Especial to The Farmero

Minneapolis, Sept. 1.-Representa- tive James A. Tawney, one of the strongest stand-patters in Congress and the man whom President Taft upheld in his now famous Winona speech. was defeated at the Congress sionaI primaries in the first district, for renomination as Representative by Sidney A. Anderson, insurgent, O.. M. Levange, campaign manager for Andreson, says today Anderson's ma jority will be more than 2,oO0.
 Payne and Hill were perhaps the strongest group of standpatters in congress. Of these only Hill has se- cured his renomination without a con- test and all except Hill and Cannon have been defeated in their own par the strongest Republican districts in Connecticut, and is also a supporter of the Payne-A1drich tariff.
 In the fourth and fifth districts the ed F. c. Stevens was returned in the fourth and Frank M. Wye in the fifth. Both of these men were fought by out and-out insurgents.
 The fight on Tawney, who has serv- ed eighteen years in Congress and is chairman of the House Appropriation Committee, was the warmest in the state.
 At winona; September. r. 1909, President Taft said he was glad to sneak in behalf of what Tawney did, not in defense of it, but in support
 In the defeat of Tawney, the regu- lars lose a strong arm in the House. Progressives and conservatlon1sts toc day hailed his downfall as one of their most important victories in the campaign. IT.,

POLITICIANS FEAR RESULT

 IN SPEECH AT HIS HOME TOWN

and harbor appropriation bills.
 As these waterway improvements are to be carried ca Jed oa, on in uPwards ,;o of tricts it can be readily understood what the pressure is from their Rep resentatiVes in Congress to have ev priated for. This is done with very little regard to the comparative ner- it's of the different Improvements and it has a tendency to delay every i'm provement a number of years beyond the time when it might be made profitable by early completion. This is what has been called the piece meal policy and is very unsatisfac tory.
 "A supervising board of engineers should recommend to Congress the improVem ents in the order of their importance and should have the power to advise that body that the beginning of certain improveme ments should be postponed until other inn provements are completely finished. It by no means follows that a de- parture in the present system would postpone the completion of many of these improvements any more than they are likely to be delayed under the present system.
 ' "It is doubtful how far, by 1egis- 1ative order, I can go in directing the engineers to make recomm en datiOns informing Congress as to the relative and entered upon. I think I have gone as far as I can in this matter and shall ask Congress for more power at it's next session.
 Tn signing the last river and har- Dor bill which was subjected to such criticism against many items con- tained therein that were merely piecem cal. I indicated to Congress that the passage of another bill of that character would merit a veto. Certainly until this fundamental re- form is put into effect the improve ment of our rivers and inland water ways will be important because of the local money expended and it would be a betterment of transporta.- tion
 5ssThe evil in the corrupted control of a legislator by special interests is manifest and always calls for con demnation- But there is another ous and that is the selfish com pima ton of the Representatives of the majority to spend the money of the government for temporary benefit Of whole It is the duty of the major ity and the minority to IegisIate aI- ways for the benefit of the whole people and any enactments that tend to the selfish exploitation of less than the, whole at the expense of the whole and without benefit to the whole, is a species of legislative abuse that comes very near corrl1p- ton in it's effect and is perhaps more dangerous than corruption because those who support such a combina- ton are generally bold in it's de- fense.
 ~'The days of the pork barrel should be numbered. The country is reused against corporate or corrupt control of legislative agencies but it is doubtful whether the constituencies as yet are able to perceive the high CT obligation on the part of them selves and their representatives not to use their votes in com binations to appropriate to a part that which be- longs to the whole.''
