Mrs. Coulter did not have the control

TRAFFIC DENSITY
 TO FIX RATES
New Haven Roads Passenger Fares Will be Based on
 People Carried.

New Haven, April 27-The New York. New Haven & Hartford Rail road Company's plans for increasing passenger rates upon the system now being worked out will be based upon the density of traffic upon the railroad lines and will arrange for an increase from about per cent. upon the main stem to nearly or quite 25 per cent. upon the most unprofitable branches. Upon some of the latter the increase may be from 2 cents mile to 1-2 cents a mile, the rate which prevailed before the general reduction was made on the whole system three years ago.
 The mileage book system. however, will probably be continued at the old rate of cents a mile. plus 2 cents for each fraction of a mile. The read justment will be based upon the theory that the increases will nearly or quite make good the increased cost of opera ton caused by the increase of wages in the various operating branches of the service.
 The active revival of manufacturing business in New England during the last calendar year as contrasted with the post panic year 1908, is indicated by an increase in freight earnings from $24, SIG, ,413 to $28, 559, ,492. every month of crease. Total gross earnings and re- ceipts for the present fiscal year indi- cate a, total of between $6O, 900, GOO and $61, COG, GOO, an increase of about $6, ,000,- 900 over the last fiscal year when they were $54, BAT, $50. The earnings for the present fiscal year, however. will in- cIude considerably increased receipts from the investments of the company in the Central New England system.

Thompsonvf1le, April S7.-Representa- tive George B. Chandler at the ban quet of the local Board of Trade spoke lengthily on the subject of conserva- ton, scoring Speaker Cannon for the defeat of the so-called Weeks Bill. ' He said in part:

ABERCROMBIE'S
 ANNIVERSARY Bunch of Bonnie Scots Bring Much Joy to Festive
 Occasion

F'orty-six years ago yesterday a wee laddie was born to the Clan Abercrom- Die at Boness, Linlithgow Shrire, in Bonnie Scotland He was christened Francis J.t and at an early age he showed a tendency to daub things with a paint brush One of the first things he decorated was the exterior of the district school. At tender age he brought his talents to Bridge port and developed them along with pleasant manner and many friend ships.
 Last night at Lehman's shorehouse a number of his fellow 4countrynen sat down with him to a splendid din- Nelson McDougal F.reshour. The oth- CT loyal Scots who attended in their kits were Charles MacGregor Logan. Walter McGiff Stapleton, pr. C. L. ,McGoev Banks, Charles McHugh Held, Jacob Mac Nair Huber, Dr. R. A.

MacFayden Hawley, Simeon MacCumber Pease; Swan B. Mac Monag1e Brewster, and Louis Mac Veetie Kutscher, Jr.
 The menu composed of roast duck, green salmon. delicious salads, and scores of other good things cooked to. perfection That dean of epicures. B. Stuart MacNickle Sumner was speech less with delight. During the even ing Walter McGfn Stapleton addressed the host saying that the gentlemen pre- sent were very glad to spend a few minutes with him when he was not trying to sell an awning or paint a sign- He declared that it was 8 well established fact that the reason Mr. Abercrombie came to this country was to go on the police force "but did not mature.'' While he continued to roast the host several of the guests left the table only to return with parts of a handsome oak sectional bookcase. MT. Suspicion unpresenting the gift stated that the bookcase was just slight token of the esteem which the friends of the host held for him.
 MT. Abercrombie responded fee1ing1y and said that his only regret, was that he was not born two weeks later so that he might have held the dinner in. Jacob Huber's new candy and ice cream factory in Wall street as a sort of a houseWarming for the place.
 Speeches were made by, several other Scots who were present and by request the host sang, s4Three Bonnie Scotchmen.''

CORPORATION TAX LAW RETURNS FALL SHORT OF
 S3O,OOO, ,OOO ESTIMATE
Special from United Press

Washington, April 27.-It became apparent today that to the surprise of treasury officials, the returns from the corporat tax law will fall eight million dollars short of the original estimate of $30,000,0o0.
 Returns from western, middle wester. and southern sections of the country were over-estinated It was shown that many of the larger con cerns doing business in these sections W ere branches of eastern corpora tions. A pig percentage of the small CT houses were able to show that their incomes did rot exceed $5,000 and are exempt.
 Between one fifth and one sixth of the entire amount, it is said, will come from New York state and 9 very large proportion of that frac- ton, from the city of New York. It is estimated that the assessments in that city alone will reach $3,500,0G0.
 Illinois will probably be the largest contributor followed by Massachu- setts, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Mis- scuri.
 From the collectors standpoint re- turns from these states have been good. lndiana's total tax will not ex- ceed $26,000 and Connecticut will be 8 bout the same.
