NEW HAVEN MAN WOULD HAVE
 PEOPLE ELECT

J. Edmund Miller of New Haven. who has been mentioned as a possible can didate for the next General Assembly, has replied to the inquiry of the State Business Mems Association, as fol- lowS:-
 From present indications I will not be a candidate for the office of state senator; not that I would not feel greatly honored if selected for that po- Sition, but because of the amount of money required under present con- ditions in our state it is practical impossibility for man of moderate means, much less a working man. to seek office. But nevertheless if it should come to pass that I should be a candidate for the General Assembly and should be elected certainly would favor the enactment of legislation creating a commission with adequate powers for the efficient regulation and supervision of all classes of public ser vice cOrDOratoinS.
 'I will say frankly that after read ing carefully the act prepared by your association. It can be greatly inn proved The wording could be changed so that there could be no question as to their meaning. The commission should not be allowed to delegate it's powers in specific cases to one or more of it's members. The members should not be appointed by the governor. Just think of the powerful political machine that could be built up by a governor who might desire to prepetuate his party in power. The commission should be elected by the people and the act should provide for the recall of said members upon the petition of a speci- fled number of electors.
 Trusting that the public utilities question may come to a more favor able ending at the coming session of the General Assembly than it did at the last one, I am, ettc."

His only wish is Dr. Southworth who has him in charge, is using oxygen to keep him going, if possible, until he can see his mother. He arrived here at noon yesterday almost dead. A score of saw only a skeleton of the former athlete, his face pinched and his body almost devoid of flesh. To talk was a physical impossibility. Helpless as a newly born babe, they lifted Joe from his berth in the private draw ing room of the car to the stretcher in waiting. Through a window of the sleeper they handed the Stretcher to ambulance men and Cans was car ried to an automobile ambulance in waiting. Cans opened his eyes just once, and that was when they lifted him from the car.
 The most affected of all was Mrs. Madge Young, former wife of the fighter. Differences between the two married again. Mrs. Young offered her home at No. 3402 Wabash avenue as a resting place for her former hus- band and his wife. The two women and "Kid" North, who trained Cans for his fight with Battling Nelson rode in the ambulance with Cans to the Wabash avenue residence.

RESTAURANT BURNS, EXPLOSION SPREADS
 FLAMES TO HOTEL
Eating Place is Owned by Kara name Bros. and Hotel by
 John Shea

Karaname Bros. restaurant at Union Square and Main strets blew up last night while a fire was raging in the place. The fire was supposed to have started in the kitchen and was going like a furnace when the alarm was sounded at Il o'clock. A few minutes afterwards No. ? truck company had raised ladders to take out lodgers who were supposed to be on the second floor and the members of the engine companies were prepared to lay III lines of hose. Suddenly there was a report and a flash that sent the fire out on all sides of the building. The flames licked the building on the op- posite side of Main stret and Union Square. Glass in doors and windows was shattered.
 Few firemen present escaped minor burns and scratches. The ladders or No. 2 truck company were burned While the paint on No. engine was bl1stered. tery, but it needed only a little more force to start a fire in the center of the city that would have made history. Chief Mooney will make an 1nVeStl- gation today to ascertain the cause of the flames. The fire is the second in the building within two weeks.
 The firemen closed in with streams of water and extinguished the fire. The chemical engine crew stopped the fire from spreading to Shea's hotel, which adjoined the restaurant build ing on the south.
 The flames consumed the awnings on the hotel and got into the Shea Tarlor, where they did considerable damage. MT. Shea's loss will amount to several hundred dollars.
 The loss to Karaname Bros. will be in the neighborhood of $1,5O0 while P. W. Wren, who owned the old fashioned wooden building, will lose about S4,0OO. The property is insured.
 The proprietors of the place and their help did not rush to a fire alarm box when the fire started
 They stated that they remained in the place trying to put out the fire until the heat caused them to beat a retreat. It was Col. T. J. Murphy who shouted to Frank Deal and had him pull in the alarm. The colonel feared that the flames would spread to the hotel kept by his friend. Shea.
 While the fire was at its hottest Kid" Hyda, the local boxer saw a $250 cash register on the counter in the front of the store. He rushed in and brought it out.

COL, NELSON SAYS NEXT HOUSE WILL
 BE DEMOCRATIC
Especial from United Press.)

Especial from United Press.
 Beverly, Aug. 5.-"Roosevelt can country" is a political dictum by Colonel William R. Nelson of the Kansas City Star, which is giving the political wiseacres here today something to think about.
 Colonel Nelson, who is visiting at Magnolia, Mass, visited Beverly and declared that the next House will be Democratic but modified that later to say that if it were not Democratic the Republican insurgents would have plenty of voices to put Cannon on the self for keeps.
 Colonel Nelson, was one of the warmest supporters of Taft during the fight for the Presidency but broke away because he could not agree with the way the party policies were being carried out.
 If Roosevelt would run, no one could defeat him, but I don't believe that he will run,'' said the Colonel.
 When asked how he felt over the insurgent victory in Kansas he an- swered:
 My heart is not broken" and to a similar question about the insurgent victory in Iowa he replied, 'I am bearing up pretty we'll under it.
 Watch Kansas and you can get a line on what the rest of the country VIII QO, SalQ COlOneI NelSoH.
 Whats the matter with Kansas?' Colonel Nelson was quizzed, and he came back strongly: There is noth- ing the matter with Kansas. The state is still full of people who have made the state and sons of the men who made the state. They are of the tv~- of men who once led in Massachusetts-men who were willing to go out and fight for what they thought was right and who usually got what they went after.
 ''The trouble with the Republican party is that it didn't live up to its pledges. The Republican party thinks the war is still on. It is rest ing on it's past glory"

 Joe Woodman, Langford's~ manager declared today he had the $20, ,O0e Johnson demanded as a side bet and that as soon as he found the proper stakeholder he was going to take him over to Hoboken. N. J. and post the forfeit so the district attorneys office in New York could not inter- fere. Big Tim" Sullivan has de- clined to act
 When Langford succeeds in posting the S20,000 he will have complied with pion will probably have to fight. Lang ford isn't nearly so big as Johnson but he's a demon in the ring and the clash between the two negroes would we'll be worth seeing.
 New York, Aug. 5.-Stanley Ketchel is training hard for his bout with Bill Lang, the AustrdiLan due Ito take place at the Fairmont Athletic Club week from tonight.

New Haven Palladium. ,

Bobby Stowe the young New Ha- ven fellow met his calling when he took up professional baseball. Bobby jumped into professional ranks this season and has shown to be a na- tural baseball player. He has all the earmarks of a great infielder and his hitting ability for his first season out is a sensation.
 Bobby's strength to the Bridgeport club was clearly shown recently when on account of injury, the young player was out of the game. Bridge port went to the bad without Stowe in the lineup and now Bridgeport fans are rejoicing owing to Bobby's return to the team.
 When Stowe joined Bridgeport this season his batting was decidely weak He started off batting left handed but was at once instructed by Man

ager McCann to stand up right hand ed and take three good, healthy swings at the ball. McCann stated at one time that he would make a batter out of Stowe as the young fel- low was willing to learn and did as he was told. Bridgeport had played only a few games when Stowe began to bang out safe hits. He got extra base hits and is now hitting all the leagues pitchers with ease.
 Bobby says McCann is a great man ager and he thanks him for being able to bat, a feat that he has never before been able to pull off. In Bridgeport, Stowe is one of the most popular members of the team. He played with the West Ends of Bridge ports, before joining the state league and it was while playing with that team that Manager McCann got line on the little second baseman.

Too bad his mother was not here to meet him. But we'll try to keep him alive. Probably a little rest will fit him for the trip, but I have my doubts.'
 The only words spoken by Cans were to North, when he reached Mrs. Young's: "Kid, stick until I am out. It won't be long,

DEAD FARMER HANGS
OVER BUGGY DASHBOARD

Vermillion, S. D., Oct. 17.-When
Mrs. A. ]. West, a farmers wife, living
seven miles southeast of yermillion,
went to the barn yesterday she found
thel ifeless body of John Condo hang
ing over the dashboard OF his buggy,
his head firmly caught between the
buggy tongue and wheel. Conde had
been to Elk Point, though it is not
known how far he had been carried in
the position found. His head, face and
shoulders were a mass of bruises. The
body was ordered brought to Vermill
lion by Coroner McGlumphy. Condo
vas a grocery peddler, taking orders
from house to house in Clay and Union
%counti~9. He was 81 years old. No
relatives live here, but an attempt will
be made to locate a daughter in nli-
nois. The supposition is that he suf-
fered a stroke of apoplexy and fell over
the dashboard, as there are no evil
dences of foul play.
