BELMONT AUTO STOCKHOLDERS
 ASK FOR RECEIVERSHIP

New Haven, June Son the appli- cation of Arthur c. Cheney and H. H. G. Ingells, two of the heaviest stock holders in the Belmont Automobile Company whose plant was moved 70 this city a few months ago and which is located at State ard Lawrence streets, Judge Williams in the Super for court has appointed Solomon T. Riggs as temporary receiver under bonds of S25, 900. A hearing has been set for June F. for the purpose of con- sidering the confirmation of the ap- pointment.
 The Belmont Automobile Company was formerly located at Castleton, N. Y, where the two plaintiffs in the ap- plication reside. ard was removed here early this year. Shortly after the firm came to this city several attachments were placed on it and as a result it has not been in operation for some time past on account of the weight of the attachments. which have tied up the business. There is considerable money invested in the concern, it is stated. and the company has capital of $1O0, 900, while the attachments total about s20,00O according to the state ment of the attorney for the plaintiffs, Edwin s. ThoTas. The idea of ap- plying for a temporary receiver is to enable the plant to be conducted in stead of having all operations tied up.

Man Badly Cut In Fight.
 Tony Frisco, an Italian laborer, en1- ployed upon the extensive railroad inn movements that are being made be- tween Brookfield Junction and flaw leyville, was brought to the Danbury hospital Saturday morning to have a dangerous knife wound across his face treated and he will be a fortunate man if he does not lose one eye. Frisco was one of three laborers who be- came involved in row. One wielded a shovel and another knife. Frisco emerged from the fight with wound across his face that cut into his cheek and nose to the bone and laid open his eye.

 Cause of Death Unknown.
 Edith May Pearson, wife of Fred erick B.

Mrs. Malkin while in a weak mental state recently attempted to end her life by swallowing a handful of pins. The pins did not have any serious result at the time.
 Fought Two Rounds.
 Two prominent young men of Dar- fen. who are evidently deeply in love with one and the same young lady. attempted last evening to settle the question of supremacy. With one or two seconds each, they retreated to a lonely spot in the woods, and had two-round go in real John L. fashion. The honors at the finish were about even. Both needed the services of a physician after the encounter, and as it happened, each wended his way to the same office. While the doctor was ascertaining whether the nose of one was really broken, the other wait ed to have the small chasm closed up

ABDUCTION TRIAL IN HARTFORD HAS SUDDEN
 AND ROMANTIC ENDING

Hartford, June 9.-There was a TO- mantle ending to the bringing here from Montreal for trial of John M Shew, a steward in McGill university on a charge of abduction. Three years ago while known as Lieutenant Coxe, U. $. N., he left Hartford with Annie Behmer, aged 16. The pair were located in Canada about three months ago and Shew alias Coxe was taken into custody. In the superior court Tuesday afternoon the case against him was nolled and he rushed from the prisoners pen into the arms of the girl, who was in the court room. Yesterday the couple were married by a justice of the peace and they left in the afternoon for Mon treaL. The girls father, who spent much money in searching for her, signed an agreement to the marriage, the understanding being that the couple would leave town at once and remain away.

CARRY TT TO LOGICAL CON-
 CLUSION AND BE HONEST:

There is nothing in the bill for the creation of a public utilities commits sion, proposed by the State Business Mems association, which bars stock holders in public service corporations from membership of the commission. Nor Is there aught therein to pre- vent directors or other officers of such corporations from becoming mem bers
 Why not carry this matter to a log ical conclusion, by so amending the bill as to provide that only directors in public service corporations shall be eligible to membership of the commits sion? Then, the measure would no longer sail under false colors, and the people could judge it upon the merits. Really, as directors are chosen by stockholders, 1t would matter little from which class the commissioners directors would be the more open and honest course.
 Absurdfty, or worse has no greater heights, or widths, or depths, than the eligibility of stockholders and officers of public service corporations to serve as judges upon complaints of service or rates against such corporations.
 Most cities debar sellers of municipal supplies from membership of the pur- chasing boards. In all ways, muni- cipalities endeavor to protect them selves from the effects of self-inter- est upon their officers. The same principle calls for the exclusion of persons interested in public service corporations from membership of the proposed public utilities commission

The Connecticut members of the House voted with the regulars in favor of a conference on the rail- road bill and in favor of a special rule for consideration of the postal saw ings bank bill.
 This special rule limits debate on the postal bill to eight hours and prohi- bits the offering of amendments, but allows one substitute to be offered and a motion to recommit. It is the familiar old gag and the evident purpose is to prevent the passage of amendments by an Insurgent-Demo- cratic combination. Is there another legislative body in the world which prohibits the offering of amendments to pending measures?
 All the Connecticut members, includ- ing MT. Hill, voted for this gag rule.

There is no question in the minds
of Republicans that the organization
formed in Milwaukee recently by Stal
warts, and now headed by w. D. Con
nor of Mansfield, has as it's chief
purpose the detronement of Sena-
tor Robt. NJ. La Toilette of Wdscon-
sin. Why? We believe it's be
cause he stands for the common PEG
pie as against the system, which is
now and has been debating the con
troll of the Republican National and
State Administrations. He points
out their plans and explains the de-
sire of the system in the legislation
they propose and pass in the inter
est of the system. He is a severe
and constantly Irritating thorn in
their side and he, La Toilette must
be defeated at whatever cost. VIII
the people who stand for equity, right
and Justice among men stand by and
see the system do it?. We don't be-
Heve they will. 1t win therefore be
necessary for all those who want to
stand for principal, right and justice,
without regard to Party, to join hands
and support Progressive Republicans
for every office this coming fall

warts in this county as we'll as all
counties I'M this state are organizing
and preparing for the fight It stands
US in hand to. prepare also and make
a strong fight in the open and make
men show their hands. All men are
either with us or aaginst us. The
Progressive Republican fight for prin-
cipIes as represented in the last Con-
gress by La Toilette, Cummings, Len
root, Cooper and others, is right and
must be sustained by the people.
We believe they will be, but organi-
cation and persistent effort in
the right direction lis absolutely nee
essary. Be active, fair and just
and the results will be right. We
don't believe the Taft Convention

THAT STALWART CONVENTION"

Progr essiyes in Wisconsin are not
deceived by the recent meeting of
Tory politicians in Milwaukee. 1t
would do violence to the intelligence
of Wisconsin citizenry to believe 9TH
erwise. But to Progressives else
where in the nation, who may have
been misled by press dispatches i'm
to thinking this gathering was in
reality a regularly constituted con
Yention of the Republican party, We
would extend bit of information
as to its true nature
1t was not party convention. 1t
Was merely a ''framed-up" getting
together of the Bourbon clan-the
enemies of progressivism To be
sure, Vice-President Sherman and
James E. Watson, Ex-congressman,
and Cannon henchman, were sent to
the meeting by the regulars at
Washington to give it an appearance
of regularity But to be regular"
as the regulars themselves have
given meaning to the word, party
convention must be called by the
state central committee. In this in
stance this was not done Instead,
a self-constituted committee. a lite
tie group of men, known throughout
the state as Wheelhorses of the
standpat, or Stalwart, element in the
party, who have been fighting the
progressive movement ever since its
inception, called the meeting and
arranged for the attendance of del
egates."
These so-called delegates rep
resented no one but themselves and
the politicians who placed the badg-
es on them.
They were not delegated by the
Republican voters, either to attend
