prom The Tribune Bureau

Washington. March SO.-Unsble 20 con-
vince the country that hostilities with
Japan are imminent. Representative Rich
mond Pearson Hobson declared war on
Representative Mann. of Illinois. to-day
and put more excitement into the House
proceedings than has been In evidence
since the rules fight
The Alabama alarmist is the author OF a
bill to promote international peace, which
provides that whenever new vessels OF war
are authorized to be constructed or pur-
chased sum not exceeding one-twentieth
Of per cent OF their total cost shall he
placed az the disposal OF the executive com
mittee OF the American group OF the Inter
parliamentary Union to further the cause
OF peace and arbitration among nations.
This bin was before the, House. and all
went well until Representative Mann. OF
Illinois, arose and declared that there was
absolutely TO reason in the measure. and
that 1t attempted to mako an impossible
combination OF battleships for war and ap-
propriatiOnS for peace.
Mr.. Mann asserted that the passage OF
such a measure would place members OF
the House who desired peace In a great
quandary. for they would be forced 10 vote
for enlarging the military establishment If
they desired TO increase the funds of the
Interparliamentary Union. He said "the
purpose of the bill is to tempt members
who favor the cause OF the Interpar!ia-
mentary Union"
This remark angered Mr.. Hobsou. and
he Immediately made a point of order
against the statement. at the same time
declaring that Mr.. Mann was too free with
his tongue" and that there was dead
line" in debate which could not be crossed
He said he would insist on the point Of
order unless Representative Mann apollo
gzed. Mr.. Mann remained silent. and
Representative FaSsett. who was in the
chair, ruled that he had been out OF order
in attriOuting ulterior motives to Mr.. Hob
son. Mr.. FasSett expressed the belief. how
ever. that Mr. Mann had spoken OF the
results OF the bill and not of Mr.. Hobsou's
purpose in framing H..
Mr.. Mann then explained that such had
been his intention. and Mr.. HobsOn pro-
voked great laughter by announcing that
'if the gentleman wishes to withdraw his
statement I accept his apology" Mr.. Mann
then practically repeated his former state
ment and coupled with II an allusion 10
the distorted imagination OF the gentle
man from Alabama" but Mr.. Hobson did
not resent the remark.
The measure was debated for several
hours, and az the end Mr.. Fitzgerald moved
10 strike out the enacting clause and SO
kill the bill This motion carried without
division.
The House passed the olcott bill. which
provides for the placing OF a civilian as
tronomer OF repute at tine head of the
Naval Observatory instead of naval
officer

ROAD RAISES FARES
NEW HAVEN ACTS.
4drances Due to Increased
WageS of EN- pIOycs.

Washington. March So-The New York,
New Haven & Hartford Railroad Company
has filed with the Interstate Commerce
Commission schedules OF increases in its
passenger rates. These advances are due
TO the increases in wages made recently to
the company's employees.
The new rates will become effective on
May 1. The increases in fares range from
? 10 per cent. but from an examination Of
the tariffs fled with the commission, II ap-
pears that only those fares which now
average more than 81 have been increased
The fares for the short hauls which aver
age from twenty to thirty miles have not
been altered.
These are some examples OF the increases:
Boston 10 New London. increased from
81 Is 10 81 20; New Haven TO New London,
increased from 81 TO 81 %; Worcester. Mass.
TO New London. increased from s. 10 TO
s. %: Boston 10 Willimantic increased from
81 20 TO 81 so.
The new tariffs were received and filed
to-day. They cancel and supersede the local
tariffs which have been effective since May
80. 1907. The new rates cover the roads
lines from Boston to New Haven, Will
mantle. Conn. and Poughkeepsie. y. Y;
New Haven and Providence. Worcester.
Mass. and New London. Conn.
New Haven. March 3o.-The fact that the
New York New Haven & Hartford Rail-
road Company has filed schedules OF pro-
posed increases in passenger fares over
it's system was confirmed here to-day. u
is stated. however. that the company has
not departed from its policy of cents
mile rate, but has sought to equalize rates
on some o: the subordinate lines. leaving
the present rates on the main line pTac-
tically unchanged. The fare between Bos-
ton and New York, II Is understood, will
be 81 20. whereas at present it is 81 10 The
increase will chiefly affect the branch lines.

The appointing of special organizers
for the American Woodman has pro-
duced most gratifying results, and it
is expected that at least three hundred
new names will be added to the order
before this special dispensation closes.
With its thousands of members and a
strong mortuary found on hand and
every claim paid, it offers an induce
ment that but few fraternal societies
can boast of. The door of the order
stands open to receive new members,
for which an entrance fee of only SO
is charged. Those wishing protection
along fraternal lines will do well by
investigating this splendid offer eX-
tended by the American Woodmen,
which to many, has been a rock in Il
weary land and great help in time
of need.

uToPIAN SOCIAL CLUB.

The Utopian Social Club was organ
lied November s, 1909, with nine mem
bers and has since then been actively
engaged in the purpose for which II
was formed, namely, promoting enter
tainment for the more exclusive dane
ing set of Denver Since November 2S,
1908, the date of its first entertain
ment, it has entertained at eight func-
tions, and all we're highly successful,
considering the lack of interest in such
undertakings in a community where
the majority of the people are far from
exclusive.
The total receipts from all
sources since date of organi-
cation are ............$ $2l6.20
The total disbursements ..... 2l5.5O
Leaving a balance in the
hands of treasurer at last
meeting of ... ..........$ 10
1t can be readily seen from these
figure sthat although the club has
done more in the last ten months, to-
ward entertaining, than any other club
in the community, the benefit has
been derived not by them but by its
guests. (The only exception is the club
dinner given March 81, 1900
Since organization two members
have dropped from the rolls and five
have joined making a total member
ship of twelve at present, all of whom
have worked with utmost good will.
The attendance at meetings has been
very good with the exception of one
or two.
The invitation list comprises ap-
proximately 300 guests, all Of whom
have been invited at some time or 9th
er; out of that number about rs can
be depended upon and it is as well to
remark here that those who protest
the loudest upon not getting an invita-
tion are not the regular attendants,
but those who enjoy East Turner"
better and merely keep the Utopian
invitations in a conspicuous place for
their friends to view.
