SPANISH TROOPS
 READY FOR WAR
Especial from United Press.

Madrid, July 13.-That the Span ish government anticipates as bloody a revolution as that which went on in Spain during the long battles around Meilila is indicated today by the thousands of troops that are be- ing massed in Valencia.
 Troop trains are being kept under steam in the railroad yards and traf- flc toward Barcelona is being run so that the troops may be rushed to that city at a moments notice.
 There are rumors current in high circles here today that governme ent spies have discovered evidences of a most dangerous revolutionary plot in Barcelona. That the government has given credence to the reports of an anticipated outbreak there is shown by the number of troops bivuaced in Valencia.
 Barcelona has long been the hot bed of Spanish revolutionists and it was in this city that the bloodiest riots occurred when the revolution 1sts rose in protest against sending more troops to Africa to aid the be- leaguered' garrison in Mellila.

The State Business Mems Associa- tion's campaign in behalf of it's pub lie utilities bill has put on record one of the candidates for the United States Senate, both Republican can- didates for the nomination for gover- nor, and Connecticut's state secre- tary, who is candidate for renomi- nation. The letters are given below:
 Ex-Governor George P. Mclean.
 Yours of July 1 inclosing copy of act for regulating public service cor porations is at hand. I will say by way of brief, and I trust satisfactory, reply, that I am, and have been for some time, in favor of wise and pro- gressive legislation for the regulation and supervision of the public service the best that can be devised l shall certainly favor it, and I shall hope to give the matter all the attention it deserves on my return to COnnectl- cut.
 State Secretary M. H. Rogers. I have your esteemed favor of the 1st, requesting that l make known to you definitely what my attitude will be towards the general draft of your utility bill before the next Gen. eral Assembly if elected secretary of state. In reply to your request, l have been absent from my office Tor several days, consequently have a large accumulation of work before me which deprives me of giving your bill a close supervision, but after giv- ing it a hurrying perusal I wish to state that generally speaking I am heartily in favor of some such bill as this you have drafted and in con clusion the State Business Mems As sociation will get my hearty support on whatever measures that they may decide upon that may remedy the present condition existing between the private citizen and the public and private corporations.

 am in receipt of your favor en- closing a copy of 'tan act for the regulation and supervision of public service corporations, prepared by the State Business Mems Association" and asking me, as a candidate, if, in case of election, I will give the bilI my support. In reply to your ques- tion, I beg to say that I have given the bill such study as a very limited amount of time will permit.
 I note that section of part creates a commission of five, to be appointed by the governor. It has always been my belief that for the better fixing of responsibility, the

commission should be composed of three rather thar five; also that they should be named by the governor and actually elected by the General As sembly, in the same manner as judges of the superior court. This criti- cism, however, is of a minor char acter, for I have taken it for granted that the bill was drawn by those friendly to the principle of supervis- ion of public utilities. I believe that the bill gives to the commission suf- ficient power to properly test the value of this principle
 As is probably we'll known to you, I am and have been for a long time, very greatly interested in the adop- ton by this state of a more adequate system of Supervision over public utilities. But I have always believed of the great powers now exercised by the Legislature are to be entrusted to commission, that commission must be composed of men of sigma ability and character, and if such men are to be obtained, they must else of the powers delegated. If the bill before me had been drawn tc suit both its friends and it's enemies and to act merely as an entering wedge, I should have been against it AS it has been drawn, I believe that

 Ex-Lieutenant Governor E. J. Lake
 In reply to your favor of the 1st asking for 8 definite statement of my attitude toward the act for the regu- lation of public service corporations prepared by your association and tc be presented to the next General As sembiy, I would quote from public talk made by me in Hartford upon June B.
 'The Republican party must and does favor an honest solution of this problem. I, personally, stand defin- itely, positively, and without equivo- cation, for a public utilities measure that will embody all of the princi. pies enunciated in the bill recently put forth by the State Business Mems Association I believe the Republican platform will contain declaration of principles which will be in accord with these ideas and I pledge myself that, if elected governor, I shall make greater efforts to have every promise of the party carried out than I am making to secure the nomination and election for governor"
 The above is and will be my atti- tude upon this subject

AUTOMOBILE LICENSES
 HAVE BEEN SUSPENDED.

The license of Thomas Nelson, the colored chauffeur, who ran over a newsboy, Harry Carp, in Stamford tfs last week in June, has been suspend ed. He was fined s150 in Stamford for violation of the motor vehicle law and later he was fined $z5 for carry ing concealed weapons. The conceal ed weapons were brass knuck1es. The newsboy was riding on a bicycle when he was knocked off and run over. An appeal was taken by Nelson from ths Judgment of the city court, and that is why the secretary of states offics has had the license suspended. Ths period of suspension dates from July S. The new motor vehicle law provides that in case an appeal is taken the license should be suspended.
 The license of Samuel Cohen of Stamford has been suspended. IF was fined for running over DavY Lyon and he took. an appeal.

 Mad or driven nearly so by the in- tense heat, big mongrel dog created small panic Sunday afternoon in South Norwalk, where it was killed by Chief of Police Vollmer. The dog was without a collar and was not known to anybody who saw it.

The same night about 10:30, she was still there. He finally was able to arouse her, but the woman was still very much dazed. She declared that she had been riding with a man who gave her a drink out of bottle, and when he left her where she was found, said he would be back shortly. He did not return. It appears to those who have been looking into the case as if there is quite a likelihood that the woman was drugged by her compan- ion.
 Freed by Bull.
 An interesting experience happened to Dr. C. G. Bonannan, Harold Schock. Charles Gray and George Gill bert, all of Norwalk, one night last week. The quartette went coon hunt ing in Weston. Some one spotted a coon and all four gave chase to the animal, which took refuge up a tree. The doctor up the tree went in quest of the creature. He hadn't reached a point above the first branches, when all the other three began to follow him at a somewhat more rapid pace. Just then the bull that had treed them snorted Harold Schock's bright idea saved. He suggested that they throw the wind matches, with which the party had equipped themselves at the start, lighted, one by one, down at the enraged animal. One by on the matches were sent down. flaming, and the bull, turned tail and ran away a short distance and the men were able to jump down and climb over a neigh boring stone wall.

eRAcrlcAL INSTRUCTION.

The children in the training school OF
the state university, under the direc-
ton of NJ. J. Abbey, are engaged in
planting gardens both at home and al
school. Before the out-of-door work
was attempted, each child was required
to make a careful study of the different
kinds of seeds, and also to plant win
dow garden, the knowledge thus gained
being of great advantage in the more
extensive operations. The parents Of
over two hundred children are cooper
ating with Mr.. Abbey in the work. Ir
the intermediate grades the pupils are
experimenting with cereals, grasses and
other crops, while the older students
are being taught how to prune and
transplant trees and shrubs. The i'm
portance of this work viii be readily
recognized by all. The planting OF
trees and the raising Of crops brings
the youthful mind near to nature, the
source of ali true wisdom. At the same
time the practical knowledge gained
will be Of incalculable benefit in after
life. Mr.. Abbey is laying broad foun-
dalton upon which the children under
his charge can build without fear in
the years to come.

TIP EoR CHEZ BARLOW.

If Police Chief Barlow has half the
acumen that his friends believe he has,
his first official act of this morning will
be to communicate with Mrs. Anna

one lone highwayman held up two
places of business and six pedestrians,
Mrs. Marrish stands forward as the
one heroic figure. The mere male per-

do so. or at least they didn't get away
with anything better. Not so with the
woman in the case. Hearing the in
trepid footpad holding up a neighbor-

him to beat a retreat, and covered her.

FINA, VERDICT RENDERED.

The military court of inquiry has
reached the conclusion that the colored
soldiers who comprised the Twenty
fifth regiment of United States infantry
shot UP" Brownsville, Tex, as charged
bv the officials and citizens Of that city.
That conclusion was reached by nine
ty-nine per cent of the people OF the
country very shortly after the outbreak
occurred. In fact, that was the verdict
rendered by a former board. For poiit-
ical reasons, principally owing to the
activity of former Senator Foraker,
who was making a play for colored
votes prior TO the presidential cam
paign, the case wss reopened. For
months and months the investigation
has dragged along, with the result that
there has been no change in the conclu-
sions reached in the first place, even to
the charge OF inefficiency against the
officers In command.
President Roosevelt, it will be re-
membered, ordered a whole battalion
mustered out, because the colored sol
diers who were not mixed up in the
affair would rot tell what they knew
about It. For this action he was cen
sured by Mr. Foraker and a few others,
but commended by a vast majority OF
his fellow citizens. Owing to the
secrecy maintained it was impossible
to punish the offenders. and they quick
ly scattered over the country after be-
ing mustered out, so the incident is
ended so far as they are concerned. AS
there is no statute of limitations in the
army, it is not too late to administer a
reprimend or worse punishment to the
officers who were responsible in great
part for this breach of discipline.
