DEMANDS IN TODAY
Locomotive Engineers Go Before New Haven Road Officials for Advances.

New Haven, Feb. 2.-Pending the action of the conductors and firemen regarding their demands upon the New Haven road for a betterment of labor conditions, the executive com mittee of the Brotherhood of Loco motive Engineers has arrived in this city in force, to present their claims to Mechanical Superintendent G. w. Wildin.
 The engineers are looking for 1O- hour day and the arrangement of mileage runs to correspond with it.
 One of the members of the execu- tive committee here said that the committee would probably go before MT. Wildin, or General Manager Hig- gins today. He thought that their contentious could be settled with these officers, as the B. of l.. B. has never been at odds with the New Ha- ven road, during it's existence. There are fifteen members of the executive committee in the city.

Hartford is enjoying a "ruction'

Hartford Is enjoying "ruction'' over the question of Sunday evening shows. The Courant says:
 Thoughtful people, good Christian people, all over town were rejoicing yesterday that such a tactful soIu- ton had been found for the Sunday moving picture problem-sell the tickets other days, have no Sunday ticket-selling, and give the shows Sunday evenings. Now come the po- lice court officials and say they have rot assented and will not assent to that arrangement. It is agreeable, however, to have Mayor Hooker give the assurance that the shows will be open just the same. Now we will see what we will see. Whatever the mo- tive underlying the decision to punish ticket-sellers. a decision which shut the doors of the shows, the result has been most unfortunate. The idea has gone out through the community that the church people have shut down on the shows in order to compel those who previously attended the shows to go to church. Of course, such a notion results not in church attendance but 6l hostility to churches generally and is worse than unfortunate. It is no exaggeration to say that public senti-

POLICE DOGS TO
 STOP BURGLARlES
Chief Cowles Empowered to Purchase Two Trained Belgian Canines for Out lying Resid ential Districts in New Haven.

New Haven, Feb. ,2-FolloWing in the line of innovations in the New Ha- ven police system based on the system in vogue in New York and in the aid of better police protection in this city, the local police department is to add to it's facilities for the detection of criminals, especially for the curing of the burglary epidemic which is in vogue so much at present, two of the trained police dogs which have been used with so much success in some of the outlying sections of New York city.
 Chief Cowles in his monthly report to the Police board last night strongly recommended that the department adopt this method for the prevention of burglaries He called attention to the continued reports of burglarieS in the residential section of the city and to the fact that despite the number of arrests which have been made there seems to be no diminution in the at temptS. and Tn commenting on this he declared that in his opinion it would be very advantageous to the city to secure some of these dogs for use here. He said they had been used in the Prospect Park section of Brooklyn where burglaries had become very an- moving and serious and no matter how many men were stationed there they had failed to be able to stop them. The use of the dogs. he said. had cleared the district and burglarieS are practically unknown there.
 On January 10 he went to New York to see some of the dogs perform and declared the things they did were per fectly wonderful. If the suggestion met with favor he proposed for the present the purchase of two dogs, which be thought would be enough. The board voted to empower the chief to procure two of the dogs.
 These dogs are specially trained, inn ported from Belgium. While not large dogs they are very powerful and are able to overcome man. They work muzzled so they cannot bite, but are trained to attack a man that is found around house when not in uniform and throw him to the ground and hold him until the police arrive. They are to go out on beats with an officer and are trained to run in and out of yards and thus to detect better and more quickly than a man can whether there is anyone lurking around the yard. Grief Cowles says he has planned to procure the dogs as quickly as possi- ble. It is estimated they will cost be- tween $250 and $500 apiece. One is to be stationed in the Howard avenue and the other in the Dixwell avenue pre- ecinct for the present time. They will be used. however, wherever they appear to be needed.

MOVING PICTURE
 DEVELOPMENT

The rapid development and increas- ing utility of the moving picture is an interest; ;1g study. H. H. Windsor in the February number of Popular Me chanics points out some of the unique uses to which this popular form of en- tertainment is being put. He says:
 Starting as novelty in one of the best theatres in a few of the largest cities, the idea spread until even the small towns are few which do not now support at least one moving picture establishment Three years ago films were spoken of ir. feet; now they are daily produced in miles. In the earl fer days subjects depicting crime and vice were common; today the general standard is high. clean, and either amusing or instructive. United States battleships are being supplied with apparatus: when the films have been exhausted on one ship they are eX- changed to another vessel and thus make the rounds. A noted horse raiser in Kentucky has pictures made of his horses when running in order to study their qualities and defects. A church in Atlanta uses moving pie lures at Sunday evening services. por- traying scenes described in Bible his- tory. Colleges and High Schools find in moving pictures graphic instruction l impossible to convey with equal clear ness in printed text book type and il- lustratioEs. A recent political meet ing in Massachusetts was failure be- cause the opposing party rented a va cant store and gave free moving pie ture show across the street from the intended rally. The latest departure, which will soon be ready for use is an extended series of travel talks, in which the principal sights in all the large cities of the world will be por- trayed, accompanied by the delivery of a lecture describing the various scenes. Tn this way. for few cents week, any one can enjoy to very fair degree the pleasures and improve ment Of a trip which would require weeks and cost several hundred dol lars.
 ''It is not hard to believe that the moving picture is likely to exert in time an appreciable moral uplift in raising the standard among that large class in every large city which now finds it's entertainment in places of amusement which are anything but elevating.''

There are seven cases before the U. s. Supreme court, intended to test the constitutionality of the Federal tax on corporate incomes. All are to be heard as one case on March IA. In each of them, stockholder in com pany sought to enjoin it from paying the tax, and the question goes to the Supreme court on appeal from ad- verse decisions. It is not probable that the final decision will be made in time, if adverse to the tax, for escape from payment, but in that event the court would order it re- funded. AS the hearing does not occur until March fl, and as Congress seems indisposed to act, it follows that corporations must make their in- come returns by March l.

It is predicted by Dr. Sargent, phy- sicaI director at Harvard university, that women will ultimately be as strong as men, not only mentally, but physically. They are, he says, grad ually developing physical strength and he believes that their progress in that direction will be rapid. When the woman becomes as strong as the man, the day of the chronic wife beater will have passed, and feminine invasion of the prize ring may even, if Dr. Sargent is correct, be chased as among the possible futurities.

CoIfax Wins From Endicott.

In series of four games Colfax broke
even with Endicott by winning last Sun
days game, the score being 8 to 6. The
usual number OF fans we're present and
entered into the contest with a cheerful
interest. The game was replete with
errors on both sides, but Endicott failed
to pull through the tight places and a
bunch of bad errors allowed Colfax to
score the winning runs. Tip Hamblen,
the slab artist for Colfax, pitched a
steady game, while Andrews for the
visitors was exceedingly wild and sue
ceeded in hitting three men and walking
several on wild balls. Young Hickman
of the Colfax team was hit on the head
by pitched ball ia the first inning and
was unable to finish the game. The
batteries were Colfax, Hamblen and
Stapleton; Endicott, Andrews, Marsh and
Brown.

A LOCAL ARTIST AT WORK.
Switzerland as Depicted on Canvas
The Matterhorn.

Rev. John 2. Barker is an artist as
we'll as minister Of the gospel. He is
now engaged on two or more pieces OF
large canvas intended for the walls of
the new ice cream parlOrs r K. Squibb
is preparing to install. Mr.. Barker is at
work on one canvas FIVE by Is feet, do
ing the work 10 the shade of the lawn
between the church and parsonage. 1t
has attracted considerable attention,
passersby dropping in to see the artist
at work While far from complete the
character of the work is apparent, and
will surely attract attention when placed
in position.
The wonderful scenery of Switzerland
is the subject selected for the paintings,
copied from authoritative views before
the artist. One part OF the work is com
plete, showing the MatterhOrn, the most
noted peak of the Swiss Alps, which leaps
into the sky IA, 780 feet. This is several
hundred feet higher than Mount Rainier.
Mr.. Sguibb, who visited Switzerland and
this picture Of the Matterhorn is true to
nature. The dome OF the peak rises like
an obeisk, seemingly beyond the hope of
man to scale 1t was first reached in
1865, two of the five men who made the
ascent losing their lives before the event
was over. Many lives have been lost in
trying to scale this mountain, but steps
have been blasted out in certain places,
so that with care and competent guides
the Matterhorn can be ascended with
reasonable safety. An immense gorge is
shown at the base of the peak, on the
rim of which stands Swiss cottage.
The wonderful region around SLOGAN
lake in British Columbia more nearly
compares with the Matterborn and trib
utary mountain peaks than anything we
have seen on this continent.
