business, commercial and financial world likes to
have peep ahead with reference to any agricul-

but in the case of cotton such foresight is espe-
cially vital For, you understand. the condition
of crop reflected in the countrywide govern

this in turn indicates to the grower whether he
will get a high price low price for his fluffy
manufacturer whether he will get his cotton

PRESIDENT MELLEN'S VIEWS
 ON PUBLIC UTILITIES BILL
Question Discussed at Some Length
 In Response to Inquiry.

New Haven, Conn, Aug. 25--In re- sponse to an inquiry from the Connec- ticut Editorial Association asking his views on the entire subject of a. pub lie utilities bill President Charles S. Mellen of the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad, in a letter sent out tonight discusses the question at some length. After defining just what the railroad of which he is the presi- dent is, who owns it and also discuss ing it's organization, Mir Mellen makes the point that any political activity which materially decreases the earn ings of the states chief railroad coIu-. pany, will injure the public even more seriously than the investors in the company's securities. Referring to the Interstate Commerce Commission, MT Melien in the letter says that in so far as this commission confines it's activities to the correction of abuses, in so far will its influence be good In so far as it's activities go be- yond that sphere, it will in my judg- ment create mischief, far outweighing any good it may seek to accomplish"
 The letter closes with a. request for a specific statement of abuses needing correction, that remedies to cure evils done or threatened may be intelii- gently discussed. (Mr. Mellen's letter is printed on page 6.)

Boston. Aug. 25.-Julius Vezosal. the Russian fugitive. who is awaiting ex- tradition proceedings on the charge sub treasury of Tifiis. was released to- day on bail of s5,00O. which was de- posted in cash in the United States court by the socialist Ia bor marty of Massachusetts, of which the fugitive is member. Verzosal is also known as Andrew Rullow.
 It is understood that Vezosals attor- neys are preparing % resist extradi- tion on the ground that the treaty with Russia does not cover the cifcun1- stances of this case. While the treaty provides for extradition of persons charged with larceny. it does not pro- vide for the extradition of those charged with receiving stolen proper ty. the lawyers say.
 The lawyers further claim that re- ceiyins stolen property is the only charge that might be proven against NezosaL but that ne cannot sbe extra. dited on that count.

The crowds which greeted him today were larger than those which turned out to see him during his trip across New York state and they were SO insistent in their demands to see him and hear him speak that he responded in every instance.

He talked against dishonest corporations and the crowds roared with applause. He condemned dishonest men and there were more cheers. He attacked mob rule and was cheered again.
 '1 will make the corporations come to time" he said in his Cleveland speech, and I will make the mob come to time
 "1 shall insist on honesty if it land, and shall insist upon order under all circumtances.'
 At Toledo he spoke again on mob rule, having in mind the street car strike in Columbus, Ohio, where there has been rioting.

A resident up-country way tells a story about one of the game wardens who had an experience yesterday af- ternoon with boys who persist in catching small pickerel in one of the mill ponds in the Five Mile river
 A resident living near the pond mo- tited the game warden of what the boys were doing. He hurried over and arrived at the wrong side of the pond. After long walk around the dam he finally arrived at the place where the boys were breaking the law. Sneaking up close to the boys, he suddenly jumped out and springing on one of the boys said: T want you.'
 Cheese iti" sang out this boy, as he slipped from the game warden $ grasp and scooted across the shallow pond through grass and muck.
 All of the boys escap ped <ne." said the game warden. but the boy I near ly got looked like frog when he reached safe ground. I didn't pursue him. as I have little respect left for my personal appearance."- Stamford Advocate.
