WIDENING MAY TAKE ENTIRE
 WAREHOUSE
Logan Brothers Allege That in Case of Their Building it's
 All or None
SALOON MUST ALSO BE TAKEN
What Must be Done to Improve Congress Street on South
 Side

The hrm of Logan Bros, wholesale and retail grocers, who own the building on the southwest corner of Middle and Congress streets, have di- rected a letter to each member of the common council asking him to in- sPect their building before taking ac- ton upon the widening. of Congress street, on the south side. Logan Bros. contend that to take twelve feet off from their four story building, which Eas a frontage of a little over 30 it., Tn Middle street. will mean that the building must come down.
 One of the firm said this morning:
 Our building stands on piling A great mass of piling had to be driven to build the foundation on. To use a pile driver for a new wall, to make the building smaller would shake down the entire structure. In fact it would be impossible to think of talk Ing down a part of the building. The whole building would have to come oown. We don't see why Congress street is not wide enough as it is It is fully as wide as Middle street and will not be used as much as Mid ale street to approach the bridge be- cause of the steep grade between Middle and Main streets
 The firm claim that if the pro- posed widening is accomplished they will have to give up their retail busi- ness at that point.
 Another business that may be forced elsewhere is the liquor store of James Stapleton, at the southeast corner of Main and Congress street. He has a sub-lease from the Con- lecticut Breweries Co. and his place Of business has about 14 it. frontage in Main street. The building is own ed by s. z. Poli
 The disposition of the aldermen, at the last meeting of the council, when they turned down the proposition to widen on the north side, was not to spare expense in giving Congress street a broad approach.
 A special meeting of the council will be held tonight for the purpose of ordering a hearing on the widen ing

Bailey and luck could have done it.
 The visitors best piece of work came in the first inning, robbing us of run. Bailey was on second, when Ladd hit over the station.

 Berlin, May 28.-ChancellOr Beth mann -Hollweg remains in office today following yesterdays rejection by the Prussian House of Deputies of the governments Prussian franchise bill, simply because of the dearth of Ger man statesmen of such calibre to serve as chancellor fhe press of all parties is today shOWerlng r1d1cule on Bethmann-H ollweg. accusing him open 1y of incompetence and lack of all the qualities of leadership.
 Yet the chancellor retains his post, and despite his defects the Kaiser is unable to find one whom he would trust with the successorship.
 Germany has developed her war spirit the finances and commerce Of late years. at great expense. None Of her office holders or prominent politic- ians today exceeds in statesmanship what would have been considered me diocracy a century ago. Blood rather than brains gains admission to the government service except when by some mischance real good man en- ters the service. Even then he would be hopelessly left in the race for pro motion by the preference given the nobility. The ntigovernment press bluntly declares that the government service is filled with "brainless aristo- Crats" and recent events practically warrant the charge.

Who will be the next to enter?
 What's this. Fahey is back on the job. President Tracy has asked him to reconsider his resignation, ana the abused one has done so. He assisted JTmp Watts at the Waterbury-Spr1 field game yesterday
 The suspension of Connery and Sof- fell is hurting the game around the circuit. Not only has the attendance fallen off in Hartford, but wherever the Senators play. It was quite mo- ticeable at Newfeld yesterday.
 Fans will miss Capt. Hey of the Mechanics, who is out of the game for a few days. Hey will be remem- bered as the mouthy right fielder whose jaws begin to jump at every decision of the ump.-Waterbury American He will also be remember ed from this end as the scout who manages to make the circuit more times than any player around the lea que. It appears that Eley got the goats of the Waterbury fans in that great Friday game in the Brass City a few weeks ago.
 "Skipper" Hey kept Tom Connery company in the grand stand yester- day. both appearing in their store clothes. The two talked over the mer- it's Of their respective clubs. and the good qualities of MT. Fahey?
 swat McCabe is in wrong in Cin- cinnati Yesterday morning he was fined the costs in the police court on a charge of disorderly conduct, and last evening fined $50 and suspended by Manager Griffith. Griff is deter mined to have players who behave themselves on his club. The only way to make them behave is to slap a stiff fine. which is generally remitted if the player makes good.
 "Candy', Lachance made his appear ance here yesterday as an umpire Outside of few bad decisions on balls and strikes, which affected both clubs. Candy looked good. He's the only member of Kennedy's staff who wears a mustache. Whats that thing he's wearing on. his upper lip?' inquired a sweet young thing. "Oh that's a mattress, he's wearing so that a blow from an unruly player won't hurt replied her escort.

 New Haven went stale yesterday against Holyoke. In the sixth inning Pitcher Geiser of the Papermakers with three men on the paths sent the ball over the fence for a homer.

FLAT IRONS AFTER
 THE BROOKLAWNS

Editor Farmer Sir:-
 In a recent issue an article appear ed extolling the triumphs of the Brook1awn Baseball team together with a challenge to play any other team whose age limit is IS years Shades of "Jeems'' O'Rourke how mighty has this team grown that they count defeats as victories. The writer has in mind two occasions wherein the ''Brooklawns'' then known as "Goosetowns' were ignominously made to bite the thirsty mad, through the magnificent swatting of the Flat Irons and in thus calling attention to the defeats which they have gener- ously forgotten we wish to meet the Brooklawns any Sunday in June, on any field they may name.
