Mrs. Harrington volunteered her ser vice, making arrangements to care for the child for a stipulated price per week. The mother was accompanied by a woman who said she was Mrs. Emma Payne, and who said she had lived in Bridgeport, at 250 Congress street But she said she had not been living there for some time t'Ethel'' was supposed to be her sister, and to have come here from Canada a short time ago. But neither MT. nor Mrs. Harrington realized the importance of securing further information about the child or parents until too late.
 Today Mrs. Harrington told her story to an attache of the Charities department.
 She is willing to care for the baby for some time in the hope that the city officials will be able to locate the mis- sing mother, and she has become at- tached to the child to the extent that she would prefer to keep it for some weeks to having it placed in a public institution, if she believes there is a chance to locate mother or father.
 The police are looking for Mrs. tie to help them in their task. A search of the vital statistics for the birth of a child in Fairfield avenue was of the rather indefinite clues they were given. for in conver- sation between the Harringtons and the mother it was learned that the child was born in a, house in that street. at ? in the morning. But the street is so long and there are so many mothers blessed with the Chris tian name of Ethel that this is but one of a number of indefinite clues given them
 Investigator Morrissey of the Chari- ties department says there have been several similar cases coming to his at tention lately. growing out of the read mess of people to answer such adver- tisements and accept infants without first acquainting themselves with the circumstances of the parentage. But this is the first one that has developed into such full fiedged mystery.

HINCKS BUYS STOCK EXCHANGE SEAT CHEAP
 PAYS SUM OF $78,OOO

w. T. Hincks of this city is the purchaser of a seat in the New York stock exchange, bought at $78,0oO. At this price the seat is regarded as a bargain. The last previous sale was for $85,0OO and once a seat sold for $95,O00. But the price is a little depreciated now, owing to the fear that Governor Hughes may do some thing in the way of regulating Wall street.
 Maurice B. Mendham of the Stock Exchange firm of Mendham Bros. has resigned from the Exchange and his seat has been posted for transfer to MT. Hincks. An official of the Stock said yesterday that the re- was purely voluntary and was due to personal reasons. At the

Includes Repeal Clause Which Excites Amaze ment of Judson, Chand-

A emarIable scene was enacted be- fore the Bridgeport Business Mems Association last night when the fore most Connecticut champions of an hon. est public utility bill mercilessIy SCOT Cd the bill prepared by a, comnlittee Of the. association, and begged the busl- ness men not to adopt it.
 Stiles Judson, States Attorney for Fairfield county; George B. Chandler. New London wereS little less than panic stricken as they heard the pro visions of the proposed measure and realized that it's endorsement by the business men of the State would great 1y cripple, if not destroy the work which has been done to secure ade- quate regulation of public service cor porations in this State.
 And indeed the bill was a. aueer doc -ument and had a unique history.
 There is a lawyer in the background who is supposed to be the author Of the bill. His name has not vet ap- peared. But Attorney E. K Nichol4 that the committee must have had the assistance of counsel'', and it is certainly true that only cunning and able counsel could have prepared the clause in the bill relating to appeals to the court. This clause destroys, as Judson: Chandler and Whiton pro claimed. even such moderate virtues as the bill upon his face has.
 A number Of things united to make strange intrusion into the public arena. A dispute arose between President F. W. BoIande and Senator Moses w. Manwaring, a member of the special committee, as to whether the work Of the committee had been announced IIrernaturely, or whether MT. Bolande had been told by the committee to call the public meeting that it's bill was all ready.
 The sponsors of the bill following the nerci1ess criticism to which it was subjected, ceased defending it, and took the ground that it was merely tentative and intended to be finish ed somewhere else. But neither MT Vincent nor Senator Manwaring urg- ed this view. until they had asserted that there should be no provision in the measure against stock watering, is concerned that the people of the State are not especially interested in the prevention. of stock watering, and far as MT. Manwaring is concerned, that the provision ought to be exclud- ed, because, as he said. "the New Ha- of stock issue, and would secure the defeat of any bill in which such super vision was attempted"
 It appeared that the preparation of the bill had been accomplished in haste, and that matters had been so arrang- had little or nothing to do with it's composition and very little time in which to study it.
 It was said by a member of the committee that very soon after the work was organized the actual prep subcommittee of two MT. Vincent and Senator Manwaring. and they were re- sponsib1e for the actual draft of the measure as it was submitted to the association

Special Policeman Harris Kahn, a grocer at APO Main street, is the prin- cipal in an affidavit filed with Super intendent Birmingham at police head quarters today by John Baranowitch, a. Polish 1aborer Baranowitcl1 swears in his affidavit that Rahn obtained from him B, representing that he must pay that sum to the prosecuting at torney before he could secure 8 war rant for the arrest of Baranowitch's s son.
 SBaranowftcFa,s son beat him the lat ter part of March, and trimmed the old man so badly that it was with difficulty that he was able to appear The son was sentenced to jail for three days, and later as a result of the beat ing the father vent to hospital.
 When he came out of the hospital he began to be1noan his misfortunes to his friends, and incidentally mentioned the B he had to pay to secure his son s arrest. The friends interested them selves and told him that Kahn had trimmed him.
 Then Baranowitch became angry, and consulting a notary public made a that Rahn demanded B from him to pay to the prosecuting attorney for a warrant, and that he paid said sum to Kahn on March 26.
 Superintendent Birmingham received the affidavit, began an investigation and will report the matter at the next meeting of the Police Board for such action as the commissioners see fit to take.
 Rahn's version of the story is that sons arrest and that he told him he couldn't spare the time from his busi- ness. Then Baranowitch said he would pay Kahn for his time. Kahn then spent the greater part of two days in Interpreting for the old man, securing the warrant. etc. and he then got the $3.
 Kahn says he's entitled to the money. and won't go back on what he has done.

COAL HIGHER IN NEW YORK
Archibald McNeil, Jr., Gives His View of Situa-
 tion

The situation in the Bituminous coal regions of Pennsylvania is a source of considerable anxiety to the manufacturers and large consumers of Bituminous coal.
 On April first approximately 200.- 1000 Bituminous coal miners laid down their picks and refused to return to work until told to do so through their organization. The United Mine Workers of America
 The men have now been out 21 days, and the BftuInfnous coal mines, with the exception of a few scattered colonies where the demands of the men have been met by individual operators, remain idle Practically every miner in Westmore1and, Clear These counties in the central Penn syIvania district produce the largest portion of the Bitumtnous coal that
 Az there are no further confer ences to be held by the operators or miners before May 1st. it is a cer- fAinty that the men will remain out at least two weeks longer.
 On report of the postponement of the proposed conference between Representatives of the miners and the ols coal in New York advanced 4s cents today. Should this situation continue and coal become more be perceptive in this city and other manufacturing centers.
 A Farmer reported called at the offices of The Archibald McNeil & Sons Company today. This company is one of the largest dealers in Btu z1linous coal in this section of New England
 Archibald NTcNef1, Jr., president of the company, admitted in answer to an inquiry from a representative of the Farmer that the situation had assumed a more serious aspect. He said, 1t was not generally considered on April I, when the suspension took effect, that it would last more than a few days. Therefore both the coal dealers and manufacturers expressed however, the reported failures of the operators and miners to reach an agreement since April 1, has now caused O. marked change in the sftua- ton.
 advanced materially in the last few days, and should present conditions unquestionably consumers will be confronted with serious situation. When an agreement will be reached is probIeInatical, as both sides seem to be determined not to concede.
 MT. McNei1, when asked regarding the local situation, said: 'I see no reason for immediate alarm in the manufacturing concerns in this city are not stocked with any surplus supply of Bituminous coal, can say, ispeaking for our company, and for those concerns whom we are supply f1ng, that we have a stock of Bitu- rninous coal sufficient to supply their requirements for some little ttme.''

The resigna- ton came just at this time, it was explained, because of the dullness of the stock market. In 1904 the te1e- phone connections of Mendham Bros, along with those of several other firms, were removed suddenly by the Stock Exchange authorities, presun- ably because the firms had relations with brokers not members of the Exchange. Afterward the telephones were restored.
