 at the breakfast table of the question of the free entry of Cuban products into the United States, Dickinson said: !:
 'I am the only free trade Democrat in the Republican protection cabinet, and when MT. Taft has finished his second term I invite you to come to the United States and assist in electing a Democratic free trade President"
 The statement was made before a large number of guests, including mem- bers of the Cuban cabinet. army ofi- cers and prominent politicians, and Oc- casioned considerable surprise as well as unbounded enthusiasm. Dickin- son's words were in answer to an ap- peal from Pelayo to work iu favor Of the free entry of Cuban products, "be- cause,'' he said, Cuba is the economic Slave of the United States, being al- lowed reciprocity arguments with no other nation"
 Dickinson asked Pelayo whether, in his opinion. the United States could successfully operate sugar mills in the Philippines.
 "Yes," answered Pelayo. eff you got the right sort of men to run the ought to clear it's original cost in the first five years. but if it isn't run property it would sink eight times it's original cost in this time.''

TWO NOTED EVANGELISTS TO SPEAK TONIGHT
 AT FIRST M. E. CHURCH

Word has been received that the other speaker for the meeting in the interests of the Layman's Missionary Movement, which will be held at the First Methodist church this evening will be one of the prominent New York physicians whose unusual ad- vantages as world wide traveller fit him in peculiar way to tell the story of what he saw, at first hand of foreign missions. pr. Bulkley has studied missions in many lands under various conditions and what he has to say from the standpoint of the out slider will be most interesting coming from the same platform as the story of one of the great missionaries him. self. Dr. UP. Jones, the other speak CT, is conceded to be one of the best informed of men on the life and the people of India where he has lived and worked for the last twenty-five years.

HARBORMASTER CALLED ON TO
 CLEAR CHANNEL
Connecticut Company Finds Boats Choked In Ice In Creek Leading to Power House.

Harbormaster c. H. Morris was mo- tified by the Connecticut Co.,, this morning that there were four oyster vessels frozen in the ice in the power house channel off Seaview avenue and that the trolley com Dany could not run a boat lead of coal up to the power plant as the way was blocked by the boats.
 The harbormaster found upon inveS- tigation that the tow boat men did not care to run boat into the power house channel for fear of smashing the sailing craft when they pushed through the ice that is about four inches thick.
 The owners of the oyster boats were informed of the conditions this morn ing by the harbormaster and served with notice to move their craft so as not to interfere with navigation. This will mean that they will have to chop the ice away from their vessels and change their position so that they will not be caught in the ice jam that the tug will make when she forces her nose through the ice.
 The railroad company if unable to use the channel to run coal up to its plant would have to cart it from another wharf. In the past the com- pany has tried to keep the sail ng craft out of the channel but it happens that the Chittenden estate owns a piece of property fronting on the channel and it has given the oyster men the right to lay their boats up there for the wint CT.

GERMAN EDITOR SAYS MORGAN
 IS A MENACE
Foremost Writer Publishes Savage Attack on Noted
 Financier and Magnate
Warns His Countrymen to Keep Away from This Greatest Aventurer
Especial from United Press.)


 Berlin, Jan. 11.-Under the caption, '"The Morgan Peril,'' Dr. Leo Leipziger one of Germanys foremost writers, will publish in his own weekly, 'Ro- land Von Berlin,' tomorrow, one of the firiest attacks ever made on the finance king.
 Advance copies of the article have been given to the press.
 From America, the land of United Steel swindles and over-speculation. i, there arises menace to the whole world. including Germany, an appal- ling danger, whereto attention must be called, especially as none has hitherto
 dared to call things by their right name," pr. Leipziger says. This danger is J. Pierpont Morgan.
 The financial ambitions of this one
 man, who strives to control the entire capital of America, constitute the most terrible danger to the civilized world. His unscruplous love for riches, his fanatical craze for power, have made
 his financial edifice outwardly im- posing, but it's foundations are rotten and it's possible collapse may ruin mill lions of men and destroy millards in fortunes"
 Leipziger reviews Morgan's different concerns and suggests that his at tempts to own the copper trust may be the beginning of crash that will prove. his undoing. Copper specula,, tion is dangerous, he contends, and Morgan's entrance into this field may prove his petard.
 ''For us in, Germany" Peipziger con- cludes, "there should be only one watchword and that is: s' Keep away from Morgan;~ away from all concerns controlled by this
 greatest adventurer in the history ot finance.'
 The participation of Morgan's bank ing companies in the Chinese railway loan and his recent reported attempt to corner the nitrate market are be- lieved to be the inspiration of Leip- zigers attack.

PEPPERS GOOD SHIP TO NEW ENGLAND AUTO
DEEP SEA NAVIGATOR RECUP- ERATING IN COUNTY JAIL
 FROM WORST TRIP.
Set Sail From Jacksonville Four Weeks Ago-Reached Port Yester- day and Started to Celebrate.


 Charles Reynolds has sailed the seas for nigh onto 28 years. but never III his career has he experienced such a trip as that which ended in New Ha- ven yesterday and began 28 days ago in Jacksonville, Fla. Not so much from his own choice as on the order of Judge Wilder of the city court, Rey- holds is recuperating from the voyage and more especially the celebration at the completion of the trip, in the coun- ty jail. He will spin yarns there for three days for the entertainment of his fellow prisoners.
 Reynolds left Jacksonville on the good ship Levi Andrews. laden with lumber consigned to New Haven. Two days out they encountered the terrific storm that swept the coast, and the voyage that should have been sailed in much less than a week under favor able conditions, occupied four full weeks.
 When he reached terra firma in the Elm City yesterday he made his way to the nearest groggery. It was not long before he had neither sea nor land legs, and it was with difficulty that he reached the railroad station. He ex- pected to visit relatives in Bridgeport, but when he reached this city he was in such bad way that he hailed a hack to convey him to the New York boat, knowing, he says that he could never have reached the dock afoOt.
 He was not accustomed to buying tickets before boarding vessels and he couldn't understand the process. In some way or another. he can't recall just now, he got involved in a dispute with the steamboat men. and brought up at police headquarters. This morn ing he pleaded guilty to the charge of drunkenness. and was fully satisfied with the penalty imposed in the city court.
 'I've sailed the seas these many years" he sbliloquized as the police patrol wagon sped up Main street, ''but this is the first time I ever had ride on these new fangled hossless car- riages."
 As Driver Wheeler brought the ma chine suddenly to the starboard of 3 passing trolley car, pumping Reynolds against the siding. he exclaimed:
 "The deep sea for pline!''
