The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1910-06-23

Tn his message to the N. Y. Legis- lature, Gov. Hughes recommends that the Legislature consider ''the subject of giving a more ample au- thority for the investigation into cor rupt and improper practices in con- nection with legislation" He says:
 No one can favor the exploiting of taseless rumors or the subjection of the innocent to unjust and narrowing suspicion; but, on the other hand, ev- cry effort should be made to disclose, and, if possible, to punish, those who have perpetrated through legislative corruption the greatest wrongs from which the state can suffer. It is due to the people of the state that those who have betrayed their trust or have poisoned the springs of government should be uncovered and branded, and that whether or not this result ran be attained, the adequacy of the measures taken to that end should

HOUSEHOLD NOTES

To make an excellent soap, take a laundry size cake of pure white soap, cut it into small pieces and mix it well with three ounces of borax, cov- CT with cold water and let it boil until the soap is dissolved. Then add three and a half quarts of warm wa ter and let it cool, then add a scant ounce of pure ammonia.
 To remove obstinate stains from white goods, put "a tablespoonful of sulphur on a plate, moisten it with pure alcohol and ignite. Cover with a tin funnel; wet the stained portion of the good and hold over the small hole of the funnel, allowing the fumes to reach every part of the stain, but taking great care not to breathe them.

SHERIFF HAwLEYs CANDIDACY

Commenting upon a Pro-Hawley artiols in the Post. the South Nor walk Sentinel says:
 The esteemed Post speaks as one possessing special information when it says that sthe job of busting Sheriff Hawley will look bigger as election will deny that the high sheriff S chances Tor losing the remunerative berth were 5never brighter than they are today: and inasmuch as they have been. growing in brilliance for months, if anything has happened to change matters the Republicans of the county are completely in the dark concsrning what it may have been.
 One statement in the editorial from the Post H particularly delicious: ''The sheriff is an active politician and ,daesn't deny it."
 1hat's just where the trouble is; the RepubiacaBs of the county have hadssneagh oe tho shertff's politics.
 There are rulnors in circulation, which u1ayi or may not; possess value. One ia that Sheriff HaUley has not at any time expected or desired a re- nomination, that, his present apparent candidacy is merely intended to "draw the f1re'' of his enemies, and that atAthe last moment he will with draw in favor of one of his deputies. The Farmer does not credit this ru- nor. It believes that the Sherif is in the sfeld sincerely and 'in to stay"
 Anothersrumor is to the effect that there twill De g. determined effort to defeat the Sheriff's candidacy for re- nomination in the county conven- tion and that the leading but hidden elen4ent in this move will be the nomfneesH or prospective candidates for other offices, from Governor down, athedr motive being a fear that boNers Of the Hawley nomination will reject the whole ticket. This possi- bilfty fs. based largely upon the un- familiarity of voters with the new form of :, ballot-the so-called Aus trafian type-which will be used for the first time in November in all towns not having voting machines.
 There are other rumors in circuIa- ton. but the above are the most inn portant of the lot.
 Democrats should not forget that Sheriff Hawley is skilled and re- sourceful politician, that he will not be crippled by lack of funds, and that despite present conditions the Democratic selection must be wisely made.

ATTACK MADE ON CONTINUATION RATES
 IN NEW JERSEY
Attorney General Wilson Ap- peals Today to Interstate Commission For a SuS-
 pension

Trenton, N. J., June 23-As a re- suit of resolutions adopted by the State Railroad Commission and a | conference with Gov. Fort, Attorney | General Wilson will go to Washington today and ask the Interstate Com Pennsylvania, Jersey Central, Erie, Lackawanna Railroads from raising the present communication rates. He | will seek the enforcement of the law recently passed by Congress author izing the Interstate Commerce Com | mission to suspend any proposed rail- road increase pending an investiga- ton.
 This course has been adopted be- | cause most of the complaints filed by commuters have to do with inter State traffic. In the case of the Erie different course may be taken as @ result of a merger of that road with the New York, Susquehanna & Western Railroad in 1898, which was authorized by the Legislature on con- dit1on that no increase in rates would be made. If this law is still in vogue the Attorney General will seek an in- Junction from the Court of Chancery restraining the Erie from advancing its rates. The Erie asserts the law is not in force now.
 For several weeks there has been a cry from certain quarters to convene the Legislature in special session and give to the Utility Board power over rates.
 Attorney General Wilson said: Tt is conceded generally that the proposed increase in rates affects for the most part those who make inter State journeys. The intra-State busi- ness affected, as compared with the interstate traffic, would seem to be relatively inconsequential. It follows, therefore, that even though the act creating the Utility Commission were amended so that the power to regu- lete fares was conferred, still the con journeys daily from and to this State upon commutation tickets could not be met satisfa ctorily.
 ''It is clear, however, that the fare charged by railroads in respect to such a Journey is wholly under the control of the Interstate Commerce Commission, the functions of which have been modified and enlarged by the recent act of Congress.
 Because of these facts there is no likelihood of the Legislature being called in special session, as the ma 1ority of complaints are from com muters to New York and Philadel- phia, over which affairs the State Board could have no control, nor could the Legislature give such con- trol.
 Washington, June 23.-Gov Fort of New Jersey yesterday afternoon noti- fled the Interstate Commerce Com mission by telegraph that the State of New Jersey had forwarded com plaints against various railroads al- leglng excessive commutaiOn pas- senger rates and requesting that the commission suspend those rates until after full inquiry.
 The increases in rates vary from E per cent. to about 40 per cent, and they are to become effective on dates ranging from June 26 to July g.
