was the sitting room of the senator's
private suit Blount had meant to
give some of the ethical reasons for
taking the step which would put such
a summary end to the attorney gen.
eralship scheme. But when the time
came and he had brusquely declared
bis purpose OF accepting the railroad
appointment he did not find it entirely
easy to say the other things.
$50 Mcyickar talked you overT was
the fathers gentle comment. Its all
right, son. You're a man grown. and
reckon you know best what you
want to do If it puts us on opposite
sides of the political creek we won't
let that roll the water any more than
it has to, will weT'
To such mild hammered surrender
or apparent surrender the purely filial
emotions could do no less than to re-
spond heartily.
1--WE mustn't let it." was the quick
reply, but after that he added: II feel
that l ought to make some explana-
tons. though. I've been going about
with my eyes and ears open. and
must confess that the political field
has been made to appear most unat-
tractive to me. From what l can
learn the political situation in this
state seems to be very frankly con-
trolled upon the principle of bargain
and sale. l couldn't go into anything
like that and keep my self respect"
mo. OF course you couldn't, son. so
you just took place where you could
earn good clean money in your profess
sion. l don't blame you"
Blount was vaguely perturbed. He
could not help feeling that bis father
was keeping something back.
sYou think there will be more or
less political work In my job with the
railroadT' he asked. determined to get
at the submerged facts, if there were
any.
ooh, l don't know. McVickar has
hired you to do lawyers work, and
i guess that is what he will expect
you to do, isn't itf"
Mr.. McVickar had not defined the
duties Of the new assistant counselship
very clearly. But there was strong
Inference running through all that was
said to the effect that the headship OF
the legal department would carry with
1t some political responsibilities.
At the moment Biount had been
rather glad that such was the case.

charged with refusing TO pay automo-

when the auto was ordered, Who IS
going to pay for the carp l was told
it was none Of my business; that l did
not have it to pay. 1 told them L did
not want to get into q jackpot.

THE QUEENS GAMBIT.
WW HEN the news went out to
49, the jewellers in the sage
brush hills that Boss Da-
vid's son had accepted a
place on the railroads legal staff the
first wave of astoundment was follow
ed by many guesses as to what young
Blount's action portended.
The Plainsman, the principal daily
and the leading organ of the reform
ers, was the first to find an Interior
motive ia Evan Blount's appointment
and its acceptance. The editor took
a half column in which to point out
In emphatic and vigorous phrase the
danger that threatened the common
wealth in this very evident coalition of
the, railroad and the machine.
The Lost River Miner. on the other
hand. was unwilling to believe that the
younger Blount was acting altogether
in his fathers interest in taking the
place provided for him by the railway
Hints there were in this editors com
ment Of disagreement between ia
Their and son, of differences of opinion
which might later on lead to a pitched
battle.
The Daily Capital. however-the rail-
road organ-covertly insinuated that
nothing for nothing was the accepted
rule in politics: that If the railroad
had made place for the son it was
only justifable deduction that the
father was not as inimical to the rail-
road interest as the opposition press
was willing to have the public believe.
Elsewhere in the state press COM
ment was divided as the molders Of
public opinion happened to read party
loss or gain in the appointment of the
new legal department head. But on
the whole the senator's son was given
the benefit of the doubt and a chance
to prove up. Time would tell.
OF the interview between the father
and son. In which Evan had an
nounced his intention of accepting a
place under McVickar, nothing was
said In the newspapers, for the very
good reason that no reporter was pres
ent.

The vice president had convinced him
very thoroughly Of the justice Of the
railroad company's contention-that
the laws Of the state. If rigidly admin
istered, amounted to a practical confis-
cation of the company's property.
While Mr.. Mcvickar was talking
Blount had rather hoped that his new
position would give him opportunities
to place the railroads point Of view
fairly before the people Of the state,
and to do this he knew that be would
have to enter the campaign as a polit-
zeal worker. Surely his father must
know this, and he went boldly upon

Amendments to the present foul brood law will probably be presented to the next session of the general as- sembly at the instance of the Con Fnecticut Bee Keepers association. The matter was discussed at length Vss- the association held in odd Fellows hall. There are fifteen thousand bee keepers in Connecticut, many Of whom do not belong to the sssocia- tion. The association is trying fo reach them through inspectors and tagion of the foul brood
 The commercial side of the honey industry was an important topic. Ajf sorts of ways of making honey aI1UT- ing to the public eye were set forth Dr. W. E. Britton of the agricultural experiment station, who has done so much to secTre the passage Of the foul-brood law, gave his hive inspec- tion statistics and safd the approprfa- ton for the suppressed of foul brood was not yet large enough.

CALLMEN ARE ELIMINATED
 IN THIS CITY
Action of Fire Board Last NfgT Practically Places Depart ment on Permanent
 Basis

Bridgeport's call fire department practically was abolished at 1ass nights meeting of the Fire Board, onfy
 one callman remaining after the frss of the year. Two men were dropped
 from the call department at last nights meeting, for repeated failure to answer alarms, and five men were aD-
 pointed to permanent positions. thus
 leaving only one man in the call de-
 partment, and it is a question whether he will be later pensioned or made q permanent fireman.
 The call appointments which were
 last night made permanent were as follows:
 William H. Murphy, captain at No 5's house.
 Joseph Brown. No. Gs. George Hummell, No. Ss. George F. Meyers, No. Ss Thomas Reilly, 8 ca1lmaD employed at the Crane Valve Company The two call men dropped were FrsS Monroe and Charles Naed1e. Mr
 Monroe missed 42 alarms in 1910 and 1911, and MT. Naedle missed 2f. The Fire Board finds itself in quandry concerning the purchase of
 an all-gasoline fire engine. For two years it has carried an appropriation of $500 and has bfded it's time fn order to secure the best possible en- zine in this line. The one which the OOdIu IIdS IidO Tn fn1H0 IS the W4rrO4@
 engine. This originally cost ss,500, but recent improvements made in ft have
 raised the price to s10,0O0. Thus the board is short the necessary amount and unless the motor is immediately purchased, a years delay may result. as the company is swamped with or ders. On the other hand, the purchase of this apparatus will permit the transfer of other apparatus to the res NO company and saving Of nearly $9,000 will be thus effected, so that the
 purchase of the a1J-gaso1fne vehicle
 will be a real bit Of economy. The matter will be put up to fHe Board of ApportfoHnent for -4ffle- ment.
