Protests Against Pugh Not
Regarded Seriously at
Court House.
QUESTION GOES
TO THE COMMITTEE
Action TO Be Taken Will Be De-
cided Upon at Meeting
Tomorrow.

A protest against the appointment Of
James L. Pugh as Judge Of the Police
Court is being considered by the head
quarters committee Of the Anti-Saloon
League. The committee will meet to-
morrow, in all probability, to consider
certain allegations with regard TO Mr..
Pugh's record a sset forth by A. E
Shoemaker. attorney for the league.
In the meantime. the Senate Commit
tee on the judiciary. before which Mr..
PUgh's nomination now lies. has de-
cided that there is no objection TO his
confirmation. If no charges are filed,
the committee will favorably report Mr.
Pugh's name TO the Senate after the eX-
piration Of the three days required by
custom.
Then. II no one raises an objection on
the floor Of the Senate, Mr.. Pugl will
be confirmed
Mr.. Shoemaker Explains.
From the present outlook the only
possible fight against N1r- Pugh's con-
hrmatiOn lies in the direction of the
Anti-SaIoon League.
Mr.. Shoemaker intimated clearly to-
day that so far as he was concerned
his interest in the matter was little
more than perfunctory. He said he had
certain information regarding MI
Pugh's record that he had laid inform
ally before a couple Of members Of the
headquarters committee Of the Anti
Saloon League. He. himself. could take
no action. he said, without a direct or
der from the committee.

FAVOR QUIET FOURTH.
APropos of the Derby Ordinance Is a
 Paragraph in The American City.

The American City, a journal de- voted to the development $ of cities along the line of the City Beautiful in it's issue of June, contains the fol- lowing, which is apropos of the recent action of the board of aldermen of Derby in passing an ordinance re- stricting the sale of dangerous fire works and the discharge of the same on July 4:
 When the town council of Mont clair. N- J., was requested to restrict the use of fireworks on the coming Fourth of July, it decided to consult the children as parties interested. Great was the glee of newspaper para graphers all over the land. and pre- would be cast for the celebration that noise and smoke of former days. But when the vote. taken in the schools, showed that the children stood about two to one in favor of the new plan. Rather a stinging rebuke to mayors and councils who have refused to abate the old nuisance on the ground that it would be a deprivation to the chil- dren.'
 In the same issue is an article showing the work that the town of Abingdon, Mass, is doing to beautify the place. in preparation for the com ing celebration of it's 2OOth anniver- sary, which comes in 1911. The viI- lage improvement committee of the board of trade has issued an address to the people asking them to help the

town. which has already done d good deal and suggests the following ways that will help beautify the place. sug- gestions which will apply to Derby as well as to Abingdon:
 Remove all rubbish and all ashpiles about your premises.
 Clear away all unsightly under brush.
 Prune all trees and shrubs, cut out all dead branches. Mulch them with well rotte6 manure and later spade 1t in.
 Remove or repair old fences or build ings.
 Put your lawn in good condition and keep it well clipped during the growing season. See that walks are kept free from weeds and that the edges are trimmed
 Plant trees and shrubs where need ed.
 Some of these things have already been done in Derby. while some of the other suggestions might be followed with dVantage.-Ansonia Sentinel.

Mr. Gould,s Prize.

The offer of Edwin H. Gould of S15,000 prize for successful double motor aeroplane may have results of far-reaching importance in the near future of the flying art. Perhaps that is the direction in (Which the most striking advances are to be made. MT. Gould's offer will at least set men of ingenuity and energy to work in that direction, and possibly, before the year is out, the aeroplane will be doing stunts. especially in carrying several passengers instead of one which will be as far ahead of anything hitherto accomplished, as the Curtiss Hudson river flight is ahead of the first crude jumps" of heavier than air machines.

TO USE ELECTRICITY.
New Method of Heating and Lighting
 New York Trains.

Experiments are being conducted by the New Haven road. looking to the heating and lighting by electricity of all trains operated within the cleo tricaI zone on the New York division.
 When the electric motors were first put in operation it was deemed mad visable to heat and light the trains by electricity. but experiments have shown that the lighting and heating can be done ineXpensively.
 There are about 2.500 coaches oper- ated over the New York division into New York daily. These are heated by steam now and lighted by the Pintsch gas.
 The limited trains between New York and Boston are electrically light ed by small motors in the baggage cars of these trains. The company has also 10 multiple unit cars. four motors and six trailers, built entirely of steel which are heated and lighted by cleo tricitV

SOCIETIES ABOLISHED.
Sophomores at Wesleyan Follow Lead
 of Freshmen.

Almost one year to a day from the abolition of the freshman class soci- cities at Wesleyan university. Middle town, the sophomore class societies passed away. At a meeting held this week by the members of the two soci- cities. Zeta Phi and Theta Nu Epsilon, it was voted unanimously in view of the recent disturbances, to abolish the societies. All the fraternities were represented at the meeting and the ac- ton. which has been more or less ex- pected for a week, took place without much enthusiasm one way or the oth- CT.
 Theta Nu Epsilon saw birth first at Wesleyan as a class society in 1870. Since that time fl has spread over the country. ZAta Phi dates back 10 1877 and has remained local one be- cause of the wishes of the members. Its list of alumni is likewise large and prominent. an.C it, in turn was Il stepping stone" to the junior and se- nior class societies.

Disaqrees With Colonel Adams.

Melvin O. Adams has told the East Bridgewater board of trade that he ls not in favor of the movement of rich men from the cities to the country towns, for it means the requirement. by them, he said. of thousands of acres of land for estates, It is going to leave us. in the long run, like some of the rural districts of England instead of the old-fashioned country we find about New England. There may be something in this idea, although We fancy MT. Adams is unduly alarmed If large area of the rural regions will meet this fate. If the argument is good. however, it is good as a reason Why rich men should own real estate in neither country nor city; and we are not sure but that it is an argu- ment against the existence sf rich men at all-NeW Bedford Standard
