 At the Methodist estabEshment if is no exaggeration to say that something like panic prevailed. MT. TippIe's statements were thrown over and probably MT. ripple will follow MT.

TROLLEY BOARD SEEKS NEW
 OFFER FROM CONNECTICUT GO.
After Long Session Mems Representatives Reject Wage Prop OsitionSharp Talk at Meeting and New Haven Union
 Threatened to Withdraw

A poll of the system will follow the possible refusal of the company to make the changes which the confer ence board is said to have asked for. yesterday.
 When asked what the exact terms of the new request would be President Minnix refused to give any informa- ton. In fact he refused to talk up- on the subject at all. Mr. Minnix is known, however, as an able leader, and it was predicted last night that favorable results to the men of the New Haven union might be expected from him, if they can come from any one.
 The regular meeting of the New Haven Trolleymen's union will be held on Thursday evening, but it is said that at this time there can be no ac- ton taken by the local body upon the labor question now in hand, as it will not have left the conference board by that time.
 It is quite possible that a national official of the TrolleyInen's order may be called in here, if the matter is not finally settled, without much further delay.
 None of the members of the TroI- leymen's union from Worcester and ing here yesterday. They have Grand Officer Rezin Orr with them, and are making a strong fight up there against a proposed ten year sliding scale and they also want recognition of the union. In Connecticut the recognition of the union is not being bothered with. The men here would be satis- lied with rate of 27 1-2 cents an hour as a maximum, or in fact almost any thing that would keep them on their old wage yearly sliding scale of five years, apparently. They are unalter-' ably opposed to the six year scale

 New York Sun.)
 Rome, April 6.-Rev. Bertram M. ripple, pastor of the American Metho- dist church at Rome issued this state nent last night:
 More especially in the last two or three years the losses to the Romish Church in Italy have been appalling to it's authorities. Italians by the thousands have discarded the church check the growth of the anti-clerical sentiment, the Vatican has become more desperate, until in the present hour it has thrown caution and sanity to the winds and made itself ridiculous in the eyes of all intelligent Italians as well as to the world.
 Nearly half a century ago Metho- disrn entered Italy with an open Bi- ble, giving personal, Christian educa- ton for the masses. Today the Vati- seal of success upon our work. It has published broadcast to the world that it asked Col. Roosevelt to give a, pledge that he would not recognize the MetI1o- dists while in Rome. Col. Roosevelt refused to give this assurance. We ask no greater vindication for our work than this testimonial from the Vatican.
 gro be thus mathematical by the Romish hierarchy is to be named the friend of the Roman people, and it is to be noted that Col. Roosevelt does not O K their accusations against the Methodists of Rome.

INDIANA MOCRATS
 SCENT SUCCESS IN C. 0. P. PLATFORM
Rep. CuIlop Claims Next Legis- Iature by From 30 to 40
 Majority. Insurgents, However Pretend to Take Comfort Out of Tariff
 PlankS.
Especial from United Press. )

Washington, April 6.-While the White House had nothing to say in regard to the attitude of Senator Rev. eridge toward the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill. as expressed in his speech before the Indiana State convention yester- day, the utterance was the subject of considerable comment elsewhere in Washington.
 It is probable that President Taft will let the Indiana situation severely alone, despite his championship of the tariff law at all times. When he rec party in the Hossier State he turned over to him absolutely the manage nent of the convention and gave him carte blanche as to the tariff. Un- doubtedly the President desired an en- dorsement of the. Payne-Aldrich bill but relied on Beveridge to do the right that even insurgent Republican vic tory is better than total defeat.
 While the regulars are today deplor- ing the finsurgency'' of the Indiana platform. insurgents and progressives are more than satisfied with the way Beveridge handled the matter.
 congratulated" said Senator Deliver of Iowa. Senator Beveridge now stands on the firing line of the battle which has become nationwide for the defense of public rights against the evil influences which are seeking to capture the government. His success concerns every man. woman and child in Indiana regardless of politics.
 Senator Clapp of Minnesota. one of the Republicans who voted against the Payne-Aldrfch bill in the Senate. said:
 t'The platform is to be especially recommended for it's demand for real tariff commission and we believe we shall be able to pass a law creating such a commission"
 Senator Bristow of Kansas and oth- CT insurgents declare the platform rep resents faithfully the tariff plank in the national platform of 1908. Indiana Democrats. however. are sure that the Beveridge platform means success for the Democratic party in the fall cam paign.
 TT predict the next Legislature will be Democratic by from 30 to 40." said Representative Cullop. ''The platform of the Republican convention antag- onizes every declaration the sub ject of the tariff made by the party from it's beginning. No self-respect- ing Republican can support that plat form. Naturally the Democrats will be benefited by the split in Republi- can ranks

That's the Way His Enemies Size Up Democratic Victory in
 Chicago.
Special from United Press )

Chicago. April 6.-Enemies of Mayor Busse today se@ a popular rebuke of the city administration in the results Of yesterdays Aldermanic election when a majority of the Aldermen elected were Democrats. The new council will be Democratic. on a. par tsan division. by a majority of six.
 The result of the liquor elections held in 260 cities and towns of the State was apparently most sweeping victory for vets. The anti-saIoon- ists carried few new towns. while a number of cities that two years ago went dry, went wet yesterday.
 The tabuIated result is: Dry towns that went wet, 39: wet towns that went dry. 19; wet towns that stayed wet. 72: dry towns that stayed dry, 112
 The principal cities that went wet were Clinton. Decatur. Pontiac, Mat toon, Rockford Aurora. Bloomington, Danville. Elgin. Freeport. Joliet. Lin- coin. Moline. Rock Island. Springfield. Sterling and Waukegan. These re- suits leave a total of 32 dry counties dn Illinois. out of a. total of 102.

A PROHIBITION PETITION
(New York Telegraph )

The stunning knock-down given the prohibition cause in Chicago where the drys have just been kicked of the ticket for the coming April cleo tion, has caused much laughter in New York, and, of course, much bowling and indignation among the on the dry petition taken up for can vass by the Election Board, 2S, 1000 were found to be rank fakes, and the board. instead of plunging any deep CT into the 74,O0O on the petition, simply kicked the prohibs into the street with no further ceremony.
 The dear women who collected those 74,000 names@of which not less than 5o,0OO, if the board had finished the count, would doubtless have been found fraudulent. gather ed them in wonderful fashion. They even focked to the public schools and asked the little boys to sign. When could not be considered legal voters, these good women would reply: ssOh their names will look as good, and lots of them have the same names as their fathers, you know. And then, it's for noble cause, so that makes it all right, doesn't it?''
 Humorists. barkeepers and testers put most absurd titles on the petition n sheets, but the good women simply piled the documents in unexpurgated heaps-the names were there, the noble cause had been furthered And now their work is all wasted-they don't even get a chance in the cleo ton!
 One of the Election Commission CTS, by way of diversion, copied a sample page from the petition. This is how it read:

LEAVES DAUGHTER
 TO HER FATE
Baltimore Broker Will Not In terfere With Her With Her
 Gypsy Life.
Special from United Press )

Baltimore, April 6.-"She has chosen her life and it is fate. I cam not interfere. After all to be happy is everyone's right in the world and
 my daughter says she is happy and contented.''
 This is the philosophy which partly soothes the grief of A w. Haber- sham, we'll known Baltimore broker whose daughter Jessie has for four years been the wife of King John Mitchell, chief of g. tribe of gypsies.
 The strange affair caused sen sation among her friends. On her mothers side she is a descendant of of Francis Scott Key, author of the Star Spangled Banner and on both sides she is related to many of the most prominent families in Mary land. Her father has never seen her since she went away but she has during the past two years cores bonded with him continually and sent him photographs of herself. Habersham says the girl has chosen her own destiny in life and he does not feel that he should interfere with her so long as she is happy.
 t'She always yearned for the free dom of wandering life. She was a popular girl and good. She was fond of her family and friends but always the wander1ust-the yearning for the life untrammelled by conven- tion-was calling her. I know this because she told me- said her father today.

New Haven, April 6.-The offer o1 the Connecticut company has finally and decisively been turned down after a. prolonged session in this city of the thirteen members of the conference board of the trolley union. This board then adjourned to report again at the call of it's chairman, c. W. Minnix. of this city. The out of town mem bers have gone home.
 There was much discussion at the final meeting of the board yesterday afternoon and last night While the sentiment of the out of town dele gates was very generally in favor of year sliding scale with a rate of pay ranging from 21 cents to 26 cents per hour, New Haven and some of the larger cities in the state opposed it. It is also alleged that there was a lot of sharp talk with reference to a claim that the New Haven union might draw out of the conference board if g. further request were not made upon the company for better ment of the conditions which have already been offered.
 The facts regarding the dissatisfac- tion of the New Haven men were pre- scented very strongly, it is said, and as a final result the board appointed pany at once, and ask for an irnprov- ed proposition. This proposition will seek a shortening of the yearly slid ing scale, and also for betterment of wages. If the company does not make favorable reply to this the result will be. reported back to the conference board, and the latter will then make report to their respective unions. If favorable, the report will be sent to the various unions by Presi- dent MinniY

The work that the assessors of Bridgeport are now doing in compil- municipal taxation, has been completed for New Haven by thee assessors of that city.
 Yale University enjoys an exemption contribution of New Haven to the col lege this year. rather the contribu- tion of New Haven taxpayers is not much less than $130,00O, which is the equivalent of an endowment of $3,25O,- 900 invested at four per cent. No mil lionaire has yet endowed Yale upon such a. generous basis this.
 It cannot be said. however. that the contribution is voluntary. A large portion of the population Of New Ha- ven would prefer, to tax the property of the college the same as other prop erty is taxed. But more than two centuries ago the General Court of the State granted the college a charter. exempting it from taxation. Through more than two centuries. protected by the decision of the U. S. Supreme court. expressed in the Dartmouth as a contract. and the will of men dead more than 200 years inhicts upon a people eight generations distant from them this enormous expense.
 The property of the New Haven Railroad Company in New Haven is listed at $8,743. 900. This property is exempt from municipal taxa ton. but is taxed somewhat by the State.
 It is not improbable that the prop erty of the railroad in this city fE worth more than the property in New Haven. But assuming it to be worth but S7.ooo,ooo, the city has still les son to learn.
 This value. assumed to be s7 0oo, 900. is reached by the State upon the basis of one per cent. and pays to the State $7O,O00.
 But if it were taxed locally the rate would be 16.4 mills and the payment would be $114. .80o which would be $44,- 800 in excess of the payment to the

List of Exempted Property in Bridgeport Soon to be Ready How the State Removes Property From Taxation Under
 taxes if, and LeVieS Upon City For DefCieney

This is almost the exact amount paid by Bridgeport to the State for a State tax.
 It therefore appears that the State removes from taxation certain prop erty contained in the cities.
 It then taxes those properties itself at a rate greatly less than the rate in Brid dgeport.
 Then, meeting a deficiency. it 1evies upon the city a tax equal to the amount which the removed property in Bridgeport subject to local taxa ton.
 takes money from the pockets of Bridgeport taxpayers and puts it into the pockets of the ralroad company.
 But the condition is even worse than value of the property of the railroad in this city will consider only the value of the physical property The prop erty value of the franchise they will not consider at alL
 In some cases the property value of the franchise is much greater than the value of the physical property.
 The Connecticut Railway & Lighting Company is case in point.
 The physical portion of the trolley lines owned by this company, the rails. poles. ties. wires, cars. power houses and equipment of various kinds can unquestionably be duplicated for $S,- 900, 900.
 Yet the property is nortgaged for over sls.O00.000 and $5.000.O0o of this value has no other property to back it except the franchise.
 In addition the same company has issued stock of @ par value of $15,O00,- 900. which also has no property be- hind it except the franchise.
 The franchise is nothing but the right to monopolize certain highways for the purpose of carrying passengers.
 It is a right which the people grant ed to the company for nothing. Yet because the people gave it they are compelled to pay to the company more than $500 GOO annually
