 Alone

Exonerating him on the first and more serious of tte two counts against him the jury in the case or John O. Handy, after deliberation of not quite three hours yesterday afternoon, found the manager of the Davenport hotel in New Haven, guilty of keeping a dlsorderly house and allowing lewd, absolute and drunken persons to re- main therein. The first count against Handy was to the effect that he had been keeping a house of assignation Attorney Fitzgerald who, with Attor- ney David Reilly, represented the ac- cused. immediately made a motion before Judge Simpson to have the verd ct set aside. Sentence was sus- pended by Judge Simpson and the mo- tion against the verdict will be ar gued today.
 The case came up yesterday on the appeal of Proprietor Handy from a conviction in the city court. MT. Han- dy was found guilty on two counts in the city court and fined $25 on each. The case, upon it's appeal to the criminal side of the common pleas court was bitterly contested. The tes- timony introduced in the city court regarding the case was practically repeated. There were frequent spats between Prosecutor Woodruff and At torney Fitzgerald during the second trial.

300, ,OOO CHRISTMAS TREES
Sapinas and Bull Bruce on the Way Here From Quebec-Forests
 Not Hurt.

Ottawa. Dec. 2-More than five hum dred thousand Christmas trees are on their way from the province of Que- bee to the eastern. States, most of them consigned to New York and Boston. The farmers and small wood lot owners along the division of the Canadian Pacific between Lake Me- hantic and Sherbrooke and along the Quebec Central are reaping golden harvest.
 The trees are called spruce in New York. but as matter of fact they are generally balsam trees, or "sa apina" as the French Canadian calls them. They are cut from the hillsides and from the pastures mostly and the industry does not threaten the forests. Some real spruce trees are of the kind known as t'pasture'' or "bull'' spruce, and the cutting down and removal of them from the pastures is a benefit rather than loss, as they are full of limbs from the ground up and are useless for any other purpose.
 The trees are contracted for mostly by one New Eng1ander. who has vis- ited the section for many years and has a strong hold on the trade through the personal acqua intance he has bu It uo among the inhabitants. They are all bought as rule in August, and the season for shipping is now at its height.

UlLMAN NOT A CANDIDATE
Emphatically Declares He is Not
 Compromise Man for Senator.

New Haven, Dec. 2-When asked re. garding his attitude in connection with the rumor printed in the Hartford Times of last evening that he might be the compromising candidate of the Republican party for United States Senator in the case of deadlock be- tween Senator Bulkeley and ex-Gov- ernor Mclean, in the next Legislature, Col. l. M. Ullman, President of the Chamber of Commerce, empha tically stated last night:
 T am not a candidate for United States Senator or any other office within the gift of the people or of anybody else. Is that plain enough for you?'
 The rumor was reported to have emanated from this city and asked how Col. Ullman, member of the Re- publ can State Central Committee, President of the New Haven Cham Der of Commerce, maker of Governors, progressive business man, the friend of President Taft and the friend ot Theodore Roosevelt" would do for United States Senator
 One of the interesting rumors in political circles says the Hartford Times, had it that Attorney George P. Ingersoll of Ridgefeld, was being con- sidered for the office of tuberculos' 8 commissioner, an appointment that will come within the power of Cover nor Baldwin.

canvass of the State against Senator Lodges candidacy for reelection, and it is a somewhat significant fact that the speakers who accompany him, are all Republican Progressives.'' The propriety of this combination of Dem- ocratic and Republican Progress:ves against Standpat Lodge cannot be questioned. Whether it has more than Massachusetts significance, and whether it indicates the birth of a new National party, cannot yet be told In the event of Lodges defeat. the combination will have developed strength in at least one important State.

opPoRTUNITY OF THE EAST.

The other day, the enterprislng mana ger of a large farm in one or the inland towns brought to this city and sold advantageously a ton of fresh pork. Such transactions have been rare for many years.
 But a time when not only pork but beef, mutton. veal and lamb were produced largely in this county ana marketed profitably, is within the mem ories of our older citizens. Then, the hills and valleys of our inland towns were dotted with fattening steers and with sheep, and every farm had number of fattening hogs, and the fertility of the land was thereby maintained.
 Western competition. combined with the monopolizing methods of the Beef Trust, destroyed this industry. Live stock was both plentiful and cheap in the West, and 1t was an easy task to drive Eastern producers\out of the market.
 Now, we are told that the cattle supply of the west has lessened until it is below the needs of an increasing population, that increase of the SUD- ply is impracticable, and that. perhaps within the near future, we must i1n- port meats from South America. Such being the case. are not the times op- perfume for a resumption of the old industry of cattle-raising and fatten- ing here in the East?
 The marketing of ton of native pork here. fattened at a profit, proves the possibility of resuming the old in- dustry with resulting advantage to both producer and consumer. There is money in it' for him who under takes it with due regard to existing conditions It is not probable that the Beef Trust will again undertake to drive Eastern products out of the market. or that it could succeed in any such attempt
 In our belief, the neglected lands of the inland towns may be again brought into profitable use. and made to largely supply the needs of the cities. as was the case before Western competition entered the field.

Senator Hale of Maine, does not be- lieve that the Republican majority in the present Congress will attempt to forestal action by the next Congress that is, will not undertake the en- actment of any of the measures en- dorsed by the returns of November's elections. Should any such attempt be made, he says, "it will be resisted to the utmost" In other words, the Standpatters are stubbornly uncon- vinced.

STATE DEBT INCREASE,
 OVER A MILLION

Although the total receipts of the State Government for the year ended on Sept. 3oth last exceeded the total receipts for the previous year by nearly S2,50o GOO, the net debt of the State increased over s1,13O. 900. It is clearly apparent from these figures that the direct State tax on the towns, which has forced nearly all the towns to increase their tax rates. will be continued. From Oct. 1, 1909, to Sept. 30, 1910, this tax placed s453.535.55 in the State treasury, or less than one-half the increase in the State debt. Among other large receipts were: Automobile fees. s15s174.11; in- herstance tax sss4s67; military com mutation tax, $173, 3,495.60; savings bank tax s59S, ,407.Os.
 With all these and other large re- ceipts, the State Government appears to have been unable to make both ends meet" but went deeper into debt. Instead of repeating taxes. the General Assembly will be compelled, unless a policy of economy be adopt ed. to either increase present tax
  tive being continued debt increases.
 Most likely, the direct tax on the towns will be increased, if the plan of securing adequate revenue by tax increase be adopted, for it is easy of collection and cannot, so long as the State Board of Equalization is ''on its job," be evaded in any ma- terial degree by reduced assessments of taxable property in the towns.
 The inheritance tax is also easy of collection through the Probate courts, and this may be increased, although unjust because it is in effect double taxation.
 The tax on savings banks is also easy of collection and it may be in- creased. although 1t is, in effect, a burden upon the poor who use these banks, while the rich escape it by otherwise investing their surplus funds.
 Abandonment of the policy of ex- travagance is the greatest duty of the incoming Legislature.

Despite the heavy slaughter. the main body of the Druses, estimated to number 10000 is still holding out and another fierce encounter is expected.
 The present conflict is believed to be another of the long chapter of out rages growing out of religious hatred, that the Turks have perpetrated on the Druses. who withdrew from the Mohammedan faith centuries ago.
