Higher Fare Movement
 Slow In Bridgeport

Up to this time Bridgeport appears to be the only place of importance be- tween New Haven and New York that is not considering means of opposing passenger fare increases made by the New Haven railroad. Mayor H. E. ColWell of New Rochelle is taking an active part in a movement to organize the city governments against the in- crease. The New Haven papers have attributed an opposition movement in Bridgeport to A. L. Hefferman, of the American Tube & Stamping Company. Put in an interview with a Farmer re- porter this morning Mir Heffernan said that he was not taking promi- nent part in the movement against higher fares.

 it tore his inflamed throat, causing the King to spit up blood. But for the use of oxygen tanks he would have choked to death. It developed today that the physicians were hope full until 10 o'clock last night. At that hour the Kings condition took a change and the physicians inform ed the family that he was dying. The family immediately gathered in the death chamber. All were deeply af- fected, particularly the Prince of Wales, who was intensely attached to his father. It is reported that the Prince. now King, admitted to those about the death-bed his fear of as- srming the responsibility of King ship. ;
 inc Queens grief was likewise pathetic. The earlier life of the King and Queen was not marked with a great display of affection on either side but in late years an increasing affection developed until the Royal couple were genuinely in love with each other. For the two days pre- ceding the Kings death the Queen had been in almost constant attend ance. During the last hours of His Majesty the Queen showed plainly the effects of her sorrow.
 The streets around Buckingham f aiace today are filled with dense tnrOnSS WnOS0 STleI fenQ6rS them strangely silent, and all courts, pub lie offices and theatres are closed.
 Considerable criticism is heard in London today of the Kings physf- clans, chiefly because they permitted him to go to Biarritz in March and endure the rigorous climate of that resort.
 It is conceded, however, that the alleged indiscretions merely hastened the Kings death which could not have been long delayed under the most favorable circumstances.
 Constant harrassment from politi- cal sources, during the recent up neavals between the Lords and Com mons, is believed to have undoubted- ly hastened the Kings death.
 Thousands of messages of sympathy are pouring into the Palace today from all over the world.

Washington. May 7.-President Taft today in response to an unofficial sug- gestion@ took up for discussion the ad- visa bility of appointing Theodore Roosevelt special envoy of the United States to attend the funeral of King Edward

M1KHDo's NJ IlpC5 PROFOUND REGRET

Tokio, May 7.-The death of King Edward is severe blow to the Japanese people and nation. Eng lands ruler was regarded as one of the sincerest friends of Japan in the European nations. It was through King Edward that the famous alli- ance, offensive and defensive, was signed by England and Japan but the Mikado holds this alliance as one of Japans strongest assets.
 The Mikado is said to have receiv- ed the news of the death of his ally with profound regret. He has retired into his court and sees no one.
 Officials of the government profess to believe, however, that the death of Edward will have not effect on the Japanese-B British alliance.
