EAST SIDE, WEST SIDE
 ALL AROUND TOWN

One of the juciest roadbeds in the city is that stretch of East Main street extending from Stratsord avenue eoutherly to the entrance of the Mer- chants Line wharf. Heavy vehicles with great tonnage piled upon their decks sink seven and eight inches into soft, creamy mud. The roadbed was formerly of nlAcadan1. and was never intended for heavy traffic. The veh1- cIes track the mud from East Bridge port in every direction so that it is imp ossible to keep the brick pavement clean in Stratford avenue and East Main street. Some of the mud is tracked as far as Fairfield avenue and Water street. To hire men to clean the permanent pavement with this condition existing is like setting them to work shoveling out the tide.
 Who rem embers the chief of police of Vest Stratford? It seems that famous characters disappeared with the annexation of the borough to Rrideyeport After dispute the other day, several old residents settled 1t that the chief was named Josslyn ana that he was the father of w H. Joss lyn, the moving picture snowman, who is now travelling through the country They then agreed that no one should have forgotten Josslyn.

WAR SECRETARY ON

 Slavery in '6l.
Special from United Press.)

New Haven. March, 5,-Much discus sion is today following the views of Secretary of War Dickinson on the negro question in the south, expressed before the annual banquet of the Yale Southern Club last evening" His dec laration that the negro question is to- day more serious generally speaking than was the slavery issue in 1861 was sufficiently radical to suit even the ultra radicals at the banquet.
 ''As a result of the Concurrent ac- ton of the north and the south,'' said Secretary Dickinson, i've have a ques- tion coming from the war Ghe Civil War) which under another form is just as portentious as that of slavery, question which will be worse in it's outcome unless we use more wisdom and forbearan nee than~we did in dealing with slavery.
 ''As the slavery question became more intense and acute because the slaves were confined to one section, so the negro question becomes more diff fcuIt because the overwhelming mass of negroes are forced to remain in the south

Judge Curtis said he would adjourn court till Tuesday morning when he would hear what ever motion counsel desired to make, and would also impose sentence. The maximum penalty for the crime of manslaughter is 15 years.

New York, March 1.-Two of the five men named in the United States sen ate bill to Incorporate the Rockefeller foundation, besides MT. Rockefeller himself. and his son, have been known to the public for some years in con- nection with MT. Rockefeller's benefac- tions. They are Starr J. Murphy, per sonal counsel for the oil millionaire, and the Rev. Frederick T. Gates, chairman of the general education board financed by MT. Rockefeller. MT. Gates is Baptist clergyman and has been associated with MT. Rockefeller since 1893. He is known as one of his employers "benevolent representa- tives'' and is frequently called MT.

He is a young man, the private secre- tary of John D. Rockefeller, Jr., and has been described as member of the Rockefeller official family" It is be- Heved that the purpose of incorpora- tion of the foundation is the devising of plans for the giving away of the greater part of MT. Rockefeller's for tune.

 At o'clock, there being no response from the jury room. Sheriff Hawley ordered lunch for the jurymen. At the same hour Judge Curtis, the court officials and the counsel went out to dinner.
 At 8:so o'clock the jury filed into their box, and through their foreman, Stephen P. Hayes, asked for a re- reading of that part of the courts charge as to what constitutes murder in the second degree. After reading extracts from his charge Judge Cur of the jurymen wanted to know "Is it necessary to have two witnesses, or the equivalent, to find murder in the second degree?' The court replied that it was not. When they retired after this information was obtained, it hinged on that information, but such was not the case.
 Again at 10:15 the jury came in and, in reply to the question from Clerk Stevenson if they had arrived at @ yer dict, Foreman Hayes stated that they that the case had been tried as care fully and as thoroughly as it possibly could be, and that they should try to reach a verdict.
