was related to the Percy and Sloan families

 Four of the twenty new cars are now unloaded and two more are eX- pected today. These cars will be put in operation as soon as possible.
 The 130 green men in the employ of the division out of total of 300 are keeping the claims department on the jump, and for the past three weeks it is nothing, for the company cidentS daily. The majority of them are of a minor nature, but neverthe- less they are the fruits of having to depend upon inexperienced help.
 There was a large bunch of new men hired by the company today and any man who is intelligent in appear ance and can speak English can get a job with the company.
 Next Monday afternoon, in the of flee of the mayor the special com mittee on trolley traffic will meet with Supt. Chapman to take up the many matters which the committee laid before the company at a prev iCus meeting.
 It is understood that one thing the company will ask for will be a traffic regulation. The congestion during the rush hours consumes a great deal of time in getting past Fairfield avenue and Main street where all cars pass Some East Finders who work in the West End have complained that it takes anywhere from II to T. min utes for a car to go from the Strat- ford avenue bridge to Main and State streets. Teams in the way and cars of other lines on the same tracks are responsible for the holdup. It is un- derstood that the company would like r ind af kI,1 keep trucks and teams off the car tracks in Main street between State street and Fairfield avenue for an hour each morning and each night as we'll asa clear right of way through Fairfield avenue for an hour or so each day so that the working people will not be held up. The matter of the proposed ordinance will probably be brought before the aldermanic committee next Monday night.

 NOLANLONG ABSENT
FOR SEVEN YEARS NONE HAD
 KNOWN WHITTIER HE HAD s VANISHED - MUST SUPPORT
 WIFE.

After an unexplained absence of nearly seven years, so long that some of his former fir ends had believed him dead, William Nolan, once a well known clothing salesman employed in the principal stores here, came to light under strange circumstances today.
 Arrested in New Haven last evening he was arraigned in the city court to- day charged with failure to support his fe, Agnes Nolan, of 129 Clinton avenue. Mrs. Nolan located him in the Elm city a fortnight ago, living at A Chamber street annex, with the family of Isaac c. Fowler, formerly in the real estate business in this city.
 When she besought him to support her. he refused. She says he declar- ed he'd rather rot in jail than contri- bute to her support. She came back to this city and told her story to Pros ecuting Attorney Delaney, who issued warrant for his arrest.
 Nolan was located last night. In the city court today, when Mrs. Nolan told her story, the court ordered No Ian to pay her $4 week ah,i gave him the alternative of spending three months in jail. He secured a bends man and went back to New Haven.
 Nolan was once prominent in local athletics, playing with the Red Stock ings, Jrs., once famous ball team. He then acquired the nickname of "Bingy' which has since chung to him. He is now employed with the Winchester Arms Co.,, in New Haven.

 At 8 o'clock last night Doorman Hal pin on his hourly tour of the cell rooms found him lying face downward, with his head near the iron bars at the front of the cell. Entering to pick him up, supposing him still in drunken stu DOT. he found the man in a pool of blood, and as he lifted the body he discovered the prisoner was dead.
 Dr. Krause was called from the emergency hospital, and Medical Ex- an1iner Downs later arrived The lat ter found Purcell had come to his death from a fracture of the skull, the apparent result of a fall against the iron bars of his cell. He turned the remains over to Rourke & Rourke.
 In the mans clothing were letters containing the address of Alice Con- nors AS Greenwood street, Sprin gfield, who signed herself your loving niece.'' Through the Springfield po- lice it was learned the mans name was Purcell Investigation of the DC lice records showed that on Nov. 8 last John Purcell had been brought in by the ambulance corps and arrested for drunkenness. On that occasion he gave his name and birthplace as above stated.
 When the incident was recalled at the emergency hospital both Dr. Krause and Driver BurlisonN remem- bered Purcell as man they had taken from the sidewalk in Garden street, too intoxicated to help himself He is said to have been arrested several times.

 London, Jan. 7.-William Phillips. first secretary of the American Elm bassy, in addition to the worry in- cldent to the postponement of his marriage to Miss Caroline Astor Drayton, Nmade necessary by the tenn porary absence of Am bassador White law Reid, has a new 'peck of trou- ble" on hand today by the discussion of Re1ds letter to Donald MacMaster, written in December, in which he said that statements concerning em- ployment in America were greatly ex- aggerated. This letter is now being made use of by the conservative cam pa1gn orators as proof that the Amer lcan protective policy tends to fur nsh employment to American work men.
 Every effort is being made today to ind out from MacMaster or Sir Charles Walpole, the Unionist candi- oate Tor parliament from the Chert- sey Division of Surrey, in whose be- half the letter was made public yes- terday, whether Reid authorized the publication of the letter. If he did the Liberals intend to make it a mat ter or international investigation on the theory that foreign diplomatic representative has been guilty of meddling in purely local political af- fairs.

TAFT IN HIS SPECIAL MESSAGE
 WOULD HAVE NO CAPITAL STOCK ISSUE WITHOUT PAR VALUE PAYMENT

The President further asks that the Interstate Commerce Commission be given the power to alter, rates submit ted by carriers and to prescribe the maximum rate i'll case those submit ted are found exorbitant. If. how ever, the commission fails to investi- gate rate submitted within 60 days the rate shall take effect. The mes sage also recommends that shippers be gwen the right to select one of two or more possible routes for the shipment of their goods
 The handling of interstate commerce cases by the Department of Justice is necessary, the President says. because the present system confuses the judic- 1al. executive and legislative functions in one body-the Interstate Commerce CommissiOn-and robs it of its Judicial attitude.
 The President believes that the pro- vision forhidding railroads from ac- qu1rlng stock in competing companies should not be made applicable to rail- roads now holding more than 50 per cent. of competing lines if such roads desire to complete the purchase of the outstanding stock of the already con- trolled roads.
 Stock and bond issues are discussed at length in the message and it is rec commended that legislation be passed forbidding the issuance of stocks and bonds until their full par value shall have been paid to the issuing corpo- ration. Any issues of stocks or bonds made by corporation recognizing un- der the proposed statutes are recom- mended to be placed directly under the supervision of the Interstate Com merce Commission. These provisions are aimed at the very roof of the stock watering evil.
 The Presidents recommendation for Federal incorporation law outlines a voluntary interrogation but one which he says will fo - big corporations to one of three things:
 First, they must resolve themselves into their various parts in their diff ferent States with consequent loss of capital and organization;
 Second, in defiance of law and un- der some secret trust they must at tempt to continue their business in vio- lation of the Federal statutes and thus brines on an inevitable criminal prose outiolf or,

Nothing has been more indicative of ri1e desperate lack of facilities on the local trolley lines than the order is- sued by supt. Chapman. this morn ing. suspending the express service to suburban towns. The complaints of Bridgeport who stood on street cor nefs waiting for local cars to pass caused the change. The residents of ne1ghboring towns are less numerous and in order to some extent improve the service in this city the change is made
 The express service was ideal for the I,e6ple of Stratford. Milford and other outside towns for the people of those places after boarding a car in the cen- ter of the city were shot through to Stratford without a stop.s The notice sssued-by--Supt. Chapman this morn 4HE. Is as follows. 1et

 advisable to make all cars 'Lo-
