ACTION OF MAYOR
PUZZLES NEW HAVEN MAN.
Doesn't See Why He is Making 1t a
Three Cornered Dream.

Thomas H. MoHoy. member of the
democratic state central committee,
from his bailiwick in the Fifth ward,
New Haven, on Tuesday morning COM
mented on the letter of Charles F.
Thayer, now serving his fifth term as
candidate for the United States senate
at the hands of the democrats, says
the New Haven Register.
Mr.. Molloy said:
Il don't see why Thayer is mixing
up in this matter and making it into
a three cornered dream. But he is A
peculiar fellow and always has been.
1 can't say.
Il don't see why he goes out for the
senate. He has never been able to get
anything outside his own town. He is
getting excited at this time of the
year. I read some of his letters, but
not all, as 1 do not pay much atten-
ton to such stuff.
Mr.. MolIoy. Have you noticed how
all the democrats are joining the
Young Mems Republican club? They
are going in with banners, policemen
and hremen-
IT don't see what is the matter with
the democratic party today. Every
body SENS to be deserving it and go
ing over to the republicans or taking
up some new ideas.
Personally. would rather change
my religion than change my politics.
ard Iycertainfy would change neither.
Perhaps I shall be the last OF the
democrats. L am not like David b.
Hill. who said he was a democrat and
really was mugwump. 1 think it
hoEest man and out of politics. That's
the Way I feel"

CAMP IS PROVING
VERY INSTRUCTIVE
Trouble Over Food Due to Quarter
master Sergeants Who Are Not Fa
niliar with the Work.

Judging by Tuesday mornings work
the militiamen in camp at Mantle are
of the opinion that this years camp
will prove the most instructive of any
try. Tuesday one battalion went out
as far as the Indian woods road and
a third battalion out on the New Lon
don road, where, after battalion adj
vance and guard drills squads were
sent out under company officers and
given some pretty stiff instruction
work.
From the hospital the following
cases were reported: Private E. 3.
Warrington, Company K, sprained
ankle by tripping over a tent rope;
Sergt. Walter = Rubin, Company G.,
blood poison in hand; Private c. Eric
son. Company B, feet cut by broken
bottle.
1t is stated that while the inspector
general, Col. Edward Schulze, who is
in charge ,ofsthe rations, has been very
generous in his issuing of thens- the
quartermaster sergeants of the vari-
Gus companies have not yet become
accustomed to drawing them and that
this accounts for some complaints
which have been made of insufficient
food SUPPLY
1t was learned Tuesday that seri-
GUS panic was avertea in a dance hall
at Pine Grove by the presence of mind
of one of the soldiers of the First in
fantry, swhose identity is not known.
One of the soldiers of the First had
tossed a piece of cardboard to a COM
rade in the hall, but the cardboard
went off at an angle and Knocked a
lighted oil lamp from the piano to the
floor, splitting the OIL. which immedi-
ately took. fire
While women screamed and every
one started to rush for the exit a SOL
died seized the piano cover, smothered
the flames. and then mounting the
platform addressed and quieted the
crowd.

Where Our Flag Is Little Known.

A United States army officer recent
ly returGd from a trip around the
world, said to the Inquirer; Il have
been around the globe. touched many
ports. and during my whole voyage
saw but one vessel that carried the
American flag, and that was on a
private yacht"
The significance of this statement
must appeal to the average thinking
citizen, and the desire for a remedy
becomes acute. No man with the least
scintilla of patriotism can help feeling
Inundated after a journey of that kind
by the thought that this country alone
of all the great powers Of the earth is
Indifferent to its prestige on the seas,
Indifferent to the development of a
merchant marine that should be in
proportion to its resources, Indifferent,
practically, to its own interests in
time of war.
Another statement CLEANED from a
consular report should awaken the
country to a sense of its lack of inn
portance: To-day the harbor of Sing
apore is crowded with ships and
steamers from all countries of the
earth except the United States. The
total number of vessels entered here
in 1908 was 29,234. with a tonnage of
1891 o2. OF this number one small
craft of 662 tons flying the Stars and
Stripes came in with ballast and was
sold to the highest bidder."-Philadel-
phia Inquirer.

the vanguard of workmen has now
reached Trading Cove on the hill
sou-n OF the bridge. At the point
wuere the trolley road goes through a
cut below tn level of the highway.
enough of the highway is to be taken
off to bring it down to the trolley
roadbed level, thus cutting down the
hill and widening the highway.
Workmen are also busy on both
slopes of Mohegan hill. which has
been cut down somewhat, and made
of an easier grade. On the north slope
the strip of macadam is shifted over
close to the trolley tracks, occupying
a waste space that formerly existed
between the tracks and the highway.
Another section of road where men
are at-work is the hill al the Bendett
farm
Already In numerous spots where the
macadam has been finished the top
dressing has been washed OFF in the
recent heavy rain torn on by the
automobile travel, exposing to view the
larger size of crushed stones which
make up the foundation of the mac
adam.

there was brief delay at Trading

For a brakeman on the train Pole
had been pressed into service at the

The residents of the city probably
never apprecis ted more fully than on
Tuesday the value of the double track

handling of the circus crowd in the
