to the need Of reforming the judicial
procedure, referring particularly to the
burden placed upon the supreme
court by unnecessary appeals. In this
connection he advocates increasing the
salaries Of judges of the higher courts
in order that the judicial service may
be able to command the best talent in
the legal profession in every part OF
the country.
The adoption of the parcels post on
rural delivery routes, and the build
ing up of our merchant marine in the
interest of further trade expansion
are further recommendations OF the
president.
The presidents message is of the
same character as other former pub
lie documents--clear and concise,
without frills or furbelows. He would
have congress devote it's attention to
aiding the work Of the departments in
the enforcing of present laws, and to
legislating with an aim of giving
greater opportunities for home and
foreign commerce and the strengthen
ing of confidence of capital in do
mestic Investment"
There is constructive tone to the
message that Is the one thing the con-
gross and the people of this country
should give the: greatest heed to at this
time.

the Republican Taper isn't trying to
get them out of hole. There is no
use OF attempting to conceal the fact;
that party success Is threatened in
some OF the wards right now because
OF poor management. We have good
candidate for mayor and he declares
he wants for and against" on the.
ticket. and that he will abide By what
the people say on the question or
license. That has the right ring to It
and ought to satisfy everybody. But
our candidates for council have. not
spoken. There seems to be a differ
ence OF opinion whether they should
be governed by the vote Of the ward or
the vote of the city. Some want the
vote OF the city counted, some want
the ward. The result Is that uncer-
tainty abounds and the Democrats are
gaining the advantage. The Republi-

on this question there would be no

SAFE AND SANE NIGHT
BEFORE THE FOURTH
No Demonstration or Attempt Made to
Celebrate Until Four O'clock This
Morning..

There was absolutely nothing to
signify the night before the Fourth
Sunday evening as there was no dem
onstration whatsoever. The fact that
it was Sunday evening probably ac-
counts for much of the silence but
Chief Murphy had announced that no
celebrating would be permitted and
had extra en.stationed about the city
to prevent it and he was successful.
Not until four o'clock was there any
noise On Sunday children in one or
two instances got busy with caps but
further than that all was quiet. 1t was
too hot to celebrate
Little in the way of public enter
tainment has been arranged here for
today. There is to be ball game at
Sachsm park this morning at S.45.
while the golf players will have several
attractions. There will be no an
tiques and horribles and no parade.
No races have been arranged and no
balloon ascension or flying machine
demonstration has been booked. Races
at Pouuonoc will attract many this
afternoon. The theatres will have at
fractions as usual while the big fight
as anHounced by The Bulletin through
a megaphone will probably prove the
big attraction of the day.

by no means depleted although plenty
of noise is anticipated.

Il have trained faithfully for this
fight. There cannot be the slightest
doubt that my physical condition is
such that it could not be improved.
The conditions under which 1 have

Every fighter on the eve of his

New Haven S Quiet
Night Before
SAFE AND SANE IDEA BEARS ITS
FIRST FRUITS
IN MANY CITIES OF STATE
Steps Have Been Taken to Substitute
Safer Pleasures Today Than Cannon
and Pistoi-one Mayors views.

New Haven, July .3.-For the night
before the Fourth tonight was one of
the quietest that the state as whole
has experienced for many years. The
fact that 1T was Sunday evening had
something to do with the lack of noise
but more especially was it due to the
fact that the generally wished for safe
and sane celebration of Independence
day has taken a hold on the people
and the work for such a ceiebra ton to-
night bore it's first fruits
Gov. Weeks Letter to Mayors Needed.
Following a letter from Gov. Frank
b. Weeks to, the mayors of the cities
and the authorities of the towns of
the state. steps were taken to do away
WITH the deafening noises of the day
IN the past years and substitute safer
pleasures than the cannon and pis-
tel-@ To this end athletic games and
parades will be held in a majority of
the. cities. and towns tomorrow, patri-
otic addresses will be made by speak
ers of note and in the evening band
concerts and fireworks will hold sway.
Advocates of New Idea Encouraged.
"Of course" as the mayor of one
city put it, there will be those who
will cling to the idea that a noise is
the only proper celebration but if
the noise of last year is reduced by
half this year. the advocates of the
new idea will feel that a great deal
has been accomplished"
Police Seized Tin Horns.
In New Haven the night was safe
enough as far as firecrackers and ex-
ploding cannon were concerned, but
the noise of tin horns began soon after
dark, and despite numerous arrests
and the taking away of horns by the
police the noise continued all through
the night. There were also the Gus
tomary bonfires. for which permission
had been given as well as those that
were lighted without authority. One
fire for which permission had been
given by the city authorities and
against which an injunction had been
granted by a judge of the common
pleas court was lighted, and when the
fire department, which had been call
ed, reached the scene the crowd of
some three thousand threw stones at
the f1remen, who put out the fire and
then turned several streams of hose on
the people.
The fire department was kept busy
all night answering bonfire alarms,
and in each case the builders of the
fires escaped arrest. But even with
all the noise the night was much qui-
eter- than any for the past fifteen
years. -
