HUDSON GIVES
 VENT TO VIEWS
Expects Public Utilities Bill to be
 Passed by Next Legislature

Stiles Judson of Stratford spoke last evening at Rocky Hill, Conn.,, before the club of that name. He was intro duced. by Representative George B. Chandler of Rocky Hill.
 MT. Judson said he believed in par ty regularity and in party organiza- tIon, but he wanted to make his own definition of regularity. The idea that a little group or coterie of bosses could get together and control the convention, or legislative assembly,, was repugnant to all his ideas of pop ular government. He commended the definition of regularity laid down by President Taft in his recent speech at Washington, but dissented emp,hatical- ly from the definition given by Speak CT Cannon and by Attorney General Wickershan1 in his Chicago speech. Neither MT. Cannon nor MT. Wicker sham could read congressman out of the party merely because they dis agreed with them.
 Senator Judson was not at all dis turbed by the ferment within the two old parties. It was wholesome. He thought there was no danger of disintegration of the democratic par party. It simply indicated that the people are thinking for themselves and out of it would come the dawn of better day.
 In conclusion MT. Judson alluded to the public utilities bill. He paid a high compliment to Representative Chandler. The alert interest of the business men of the state in this 4nea- sure was a sample of the kind of ac- tivity developed in the new era. MT. Judson was of the opinion that a measure would be passed satisfactory tions at the next session of the Gen. era1 Assembly.

ANOTHER SHOT
 AT PATRIOTS DAY
James H. Stark, British Subject, Throws BrOadside Into Rev.
 OIutiOnary Heroes.
Especial from United Press. }


 Boston, April 19.-While all the rest of Massachusetts today is cele- brating the anniversary of the battles of Concord and Lexington, James H. Stark, author of the much discussed work, "The Loyalists of Massa achu- setts." comes into the 1imelight again with the declaration that the memory of the Revolutionary heroes should not be celebrated by Patriots Day.
 Stark, who has been absent in the West Indies since February, in his account of the battle at the Concord Bridge, says:
 "A young man named Ammi White, while the firing was going on, hid under the woodpile. When it was over he went to the bridge, saw one British soldier. dead. another badly wounded, and, grasping his axe, struck the wounded soldier, crushing g in his skull. Then he took the sol dier's gun and went off home.
 Very little was said during the past hundred years concerning the inhuman act of Amni White. In fact this is the first time the name of the perpetrator of the outrage has been 1earned.''
 Continuing he says:
 "Tne people at large have taken Longfellow's work altogether too lit orally. Paul Revere never entered Concord or Lexington town. He was captured at Lincoln by the British. The man was paid well for his ride, which destroys the patriotic idea.''

TEACHERS ARE NOT PAID ENOUGH SAYS
 SUPERINTENDENT
Dr. Deane Voices His Opinions in Address to Church
 Society.

Speaking before the Mems League of the First Congregational church last evening Charles W. Deane, super intendent of Bridgeport's public school system, said in his opinion the teach CTS were underpaid. Salaries in the lower grades run from $450 to $65O while in High School the figures cases as high as $1,4OO. This com pensation, said he, is not what it should be.
 Dr. Deane said there were six facts to be borne in mind. in maintaining a, school, system, authority, support, place, time, pupils and instruction.
 The impression that Bridgeport spends more on it's school system than other cities of corresponding size is erroneous, said he, and he stated that he made this declaration only after he had spent much time and no little money in investigating.
 Speaking of the continuous growth in registration, and congested condf- tions, he said portable buildings are highly successful and at the same time economical.

DRISCOLL DEFEATS
 l'SPIKE" ROBSON

5 London, April 1s.-Jem Driscon, the English phantom yesterday retained his title as featherweight champion by knocking out Spike Robson, also a Briton, in the fifteenth round of a scheduled tWenty-round encounter at the National Sporting club. Driscoll was also awarded the Lonsdale belt, embIematic4 of the featherweight championship of England, and netted $5 900 purse.
 A large crowd witnessed the chaI- Ienger's downfall Robson was out c1assed from the start, and Driscol simply wore his man down until he was ready to administer the deciding blow Driscon displayed his famous speed in every round and feinted his opponent into knots. Robson, while he landed several telling blows, could not get near Driscou most of the time and many of his blows missed their mark.
 Drisco1l jabbed Robson's face repeat edIy. Robson put up a strong defense during the early rounds. but Driscoll solved this in the seventh round, when he got through Robson's guard several times for effective wallops.

PATRIOTISM IS

Bay State HOnOrS Memory of Lexington and Concord
 Heroes.
Especial from United Press )

Boston, April 19.-Ce1ebr2ting the achievement of the 'tEm battled Far mers" who at Lexington and Concord 135 years ago fired the shot heard around the world'' all Massachusetts today does honor to their memory and in every town and hamlet in the Bay State business is at a standsti1l and patriotism is in full bloom.
 As the sun came up in Concord this morning the boom of guns and the ringing of bells recalled the famous stand against the British when the American Revolution was born. In Lexington, following the salute, a fife and drum corps marched over the route taken by Paul Revere on his famous ride and at the battle ground Governor Draper reviewed the old command of Minute Men, which is still an organization maintained by the descendants of those who fought in the first struggle against King George.
 Masses for the dead, memorial ser mons, public speaking and scores of athletic carnivals of all sorts are be- ing held in every town of the state in joyous celebration of Patriots Day.

 Rowerdennon, April 19.-James J. Jeffrics does not look upon Jack John son as any more formidable than any other fighter he has licked. He let this slip by when he intinated that Jack has a streak inside of him about the color of his golden smile, only duller.
 "I'm getting into fine condition. I can smash that bag time after time and never miss. Then suddenly Sam Langford is a good little scrap per. I think he is better than the other fellow
 Jeff always refers to Johnson as ''the to drop in this camp today. Billy Papke arrived and will go into train ing with Jeff. Papke is matched to meet Joe Thomas on May 12. He will do his training here and Jeff expects to get all the exercise he wants with Billy until time for the -Papke-Thomas fight.
 Neither Jeff nor Berger, would com ment Johnson's declaration of in dependence when he demanded that as referee on the 4th of July. Jeff said he had referred the matter to Berger and Sam passed the buck by saying s'the matter could not be settled until their managers and the promoters of the big fight, will meet to discuss the referee question.

EXIT "ORATORS'
 ENTER MECHANICS
New Name Chosen For Bpt, Baseball Team Season Pass Won by Colorado Avenue
 Resident--Many Names Suggested.

The Mechanics" How does it lis | ten? Try it out a few times on your l pipes. The judges composed of the | sporting writers on the three local ev- ening newspapers and the Herald, sat in conclave yesterday afternoon in the offices of the Bridgeport Baseball Co.,, in the Connecticut Bank Building,
 where they de1ved into the pile of
 names suggested by local fans for the
 ex-Orators, the best suggestion to win
 the season pass offered by Mana ger
 McCann.
 After locking over 1,27s suggestions,
 the committee of four decided that the following names might fit, Scouts, Mechanics. Blue sox, Orphans, Excel
 orators, Comets, Pilgrims, Prodigals, Purftans, Bucks, Submarines. Pequots, and Blue Jeans. After applying the eided that Bnne soa and @
 ics'' were tied for the honors. The good qualities of both were gone in that Mechanics" won out. Exactly a dozen contributors suggested this name. The names of the guessers were placed on papers in hat and which read Leger J. Castonguay, of 628 Colorado avenue. The others also ran were Ralph Donnelly. J. Sidney Shea, w. Cronin, Miss May Casey, Daniel J. Smith, Henry L. Langham- ner, Fred Wren, J. F. O'Leary, D. H. Bennett, Albert V. Demery and Arthur J. Main.
 ftMechanics'' ought to go good about the circuit as well as in this city. Besides it's literal meaning, the name McCann fits in. It is truly represen- tative of the industrial life of the city. Bridgeport is known as a manufactur- ing center, mechanics in most all the branches of trade being found within it's confines.
 The digging out of a name brought forth many original suggestions by the fans, denoting that they have used the grey matter, not a little bit. War rem R. Briggs, who is a thorough base ball fan sent the following communi- cation: '"The Orators have long been identified with Bridgeport and while anything but satisfactory to the Fans there is certain amount of sentiment and local pride connected with the name."
 t'The public expects much from you and you will undoubtedly use your best endeavors to excel the record of your predecessors. Under these con- dftions it has seemed to me that it would be unwise to consign the good old name to total oblivion and so would suggest the coined word 'Ex- as an appropriate name for your team, as this com bination states concisely what we have had and what. we hope to have. Wishing every success in your new field, am, yours truly, Warren R. Briggs

Especial from United Press 4 saz.iI 1

London, April 19.-Expert wreck CTS today made a careful examination of the Atlantic Transport Liner Min nehaha, stranded on Bishops Rock, and said there was little chance of the vessel being ref1oated. Her hold is almost entirely filled with water and she seems hard and fast on the rocks.
 The passengers, who were taken ashore in the early hours of Monday morning, reached London today from Penzance, at which port they were Ia nded by the mail steamer Lyonesse. They were a disheveIled looking group, minus most of their personal effects.
 The work of sa1ving the cargo of the Minnehafaa is still progressing but it will be impossible to remove a, lot of the heavier freight.
