A HAUNTED R0O,,l.
The Mysterious Light That George
Cary EggIeston Dsfied.


There was and perhaps still is a
room in certain house in Virginia
which was supposed to be haunted.
Every time a person slept there he
would be sure to wake after awhile to
find the whole room pervaded by a
dim yellowish gray or grayish yellow
light. 1t was very dim at first, but 1t
increased steadily till the occupant OF
the chamber fled from the nameless
terror In panic. MIR. George Cary Eg
gleston was not to be Gaunted by these
tales and accordingly decided to try Il
night there. In "Recollections of
Varied Life" he tells what happened:
1t was about midnight when ! en-
tered the room. 1t was raining heay-

of a very comprehensive bill for devel- opment Of the port. The bill calls for the immediate construction of one or more piers Ut East Boston. to be equipped with the best modern ma chinery and accommodation for eco- nomical, convenient, and speedy load ing and discharging of freight. with tire-proof sheds, and with railway tracks and connections. and also for ese ultimate development of the entire waterfront of Boston harbor, includ- ing piers capable of accommodating the largest vessels, and suitable high ways and railroad connections and storage yards, with provisions for sites for warehouses and industrial establishments.
 It Is very ambitious plan, modelled evidently upon the complete develop ment of English and German harbors. DoUbtlesS, its authors were not for gatful of the much-discussed Congress sional and Presidential policy of re- fusing appropriations for harbors un- provided with proper terminal and dockage facilities.
 We refrain from any comparison of Boston's progressive spirit and Bridge ports retrogressive policy as to har- Dor and terminal facilities It is not a pleasant subject.

If it is in the drug line, Hartigan has it. Twenty-three years tending to the wants of the people of Bridge insight into the drug business, which, perhaps, is not exceeded by any other pharmacist in the city. For the past eleven years MT. Hartigan as a pro prietor has been situated lon the busy corner. Main and Congress streets, not only building up a constant trade inthat locality but drawing consider ably from other sections of the city. strict application to business and slv- ing the best there Is to be had. has made the name Hartigan a by-word with the people of the city. Always in attendance at Hartigan's are sew eral licensed prescription clerks and assistants, assuring the careful prep aration of all prescriptions. So many prescriptions are filled that the drug store is constantly replenished.
 Get it at Hartigan's would be well applied slogan. There are two phone connections. If 122 is busy, call 14OS.
 Hartigan this week is introducing to the trade a compound known as "Hvpophosphites'' a valuable tonic and stimulant and tissue builder and indicated in wide range of ills and diseases as an appetizer it has rio equal. being just the requirement. for your spring tonic and vitality giver. It is not disagreeab ble to take, like most stimulants, but pleasant to the taste. The compound is prepared es- pecially for Hartigan's by one of the largest drug concerns in the country.

A STRIKERS
 FOUND GUILTY
Hartford Cloakmakers, Charged With Breach of the Peace and lntimidating Imported Strike breakers, Appeal Case

Hartford, April 4-After an all day session of the city court here Judge l. H. Clark, found 14 of the 15 strik- ing cloakmakers who were charged, some with breach of the peace and others with breach of the peace and intimidation, guilty and fined them sums ranging from 8 to $25 and costs. The cases of each of the II were ap- pealed and the accused released on bonds.
 The trial was the outcome of a strike of the union cloakmakers en- ployed by. the department stores and dry goods houses and the importing by the latter of. men to take the strikers places. The strikebreakers, on their arrival at the union station, were met by a delegation of the strik- CTS and a near riot ensued. according to the testimony given by the police. When the case came up for trial in the city court yesterday counsel for the defendants insisted upon a sep arate trial for each one of his clients and as each case was heard the tes- timony given was practically a repe- tition of that of the preceding. Among the accused were two girls. Daura Pechepper and Lena Hirshfeld and the national orga nizer of the Lad es Garment Workers union, Abraham Janow of New York Janow for his
 
 streets at various times was fined $25 and costs.
 One of the main witnesses for the prosecution was Police Commissioner Normand F. Allen of the firm of Sage, Allen & Company, where the strike started, and against whom the Central Labor union of Hartford has preferred charges and who is to have a hearing before Mayor Smith. The union claims that he exceeded his au- thority and used his position to fur finer his own interests.

MONSTER LABOR DEMONSTRATION
 IN NEW YORK
Thousands Will Parade During Funeral Tomorrow of Nine Unidentified Victims of Fire Horror
Special from United Press )


 New York, April 4.-Apparently realizing that labor unions were de- termined to parade, permit or no per init, as protest against workshop conditions in this city. the authorities announced that permission for the monster demonstration had been granted. It will take place tomorrow afternoon and promises to eclipse any previous outpouring of labor in the history of the city. It will be impossible to hold the parade as a part of funeral demonstration in connection with the burial of the nine unidentified victims of the Asch factory. Giving as an excuse that he feared the presence of the hearses containing the unknown dead would have a tendency to cause ''riotous demonstrations Commissioner or Charities Michael J. Drummond, to- day, said that he would have the bodies buried under his direction in city-oWned plot in Greenwood Cemetery. Monsignor William J. White. a Catholic, Rev pr. William Morrison, Episcopal, and Rabbi J. L. Magnes, Jewish, will officiate at the cemetery, the services to be held to- morrow afternoon at the same hour the public demonstration takes place in Manhattan.
 To emphasize their grief and de- termination that the factories of the city shall be made safe the labor unions have determined to carry ban ners and mourning devices, but not to have any music. The parade will move through the downtown sections. It will be composed of the East Side Unions. Another will proceed through the uptown sections and eventually both will be united to march past the building where 143 persons lost their lives In addition to the labor unions a delegation of suffragettes has ap- piled for a place in the line.

DECISION HITS
 B. & M. RAILROAD
Rates to be Investigated and if Found Unreasonable Will
 be Changed

Concord, N. H., April 1.-The Boston & Maine railroad may continue it's present passenger and freight rates in New Hampshire until July 1, 1913, sub Ject to change by order of the Public Service Commission; but if the rates, after investigation, are found unrea- sonable, any person may sue for and recover any excess over such maxi mum paid by him, according to recom- mendations in the long-expected report of the special House committee on Railroad Ra tes, just made to the Leg islature. The committee has been in vestigtaing the alleged raising of pas senger and freight rates in this State by the Boston & Maine Railroad in excess of the limit prescribed by stat ute. and the report, signed by all five members of the committee, except Chairman Rosecrans N. Pillsbury, who is i'll, is in the form of an act
 The bill as recommended calls up- on the proposed Public Service Com mission to investigate the rate mat ters and to report it's findings to the Governor not later than December l, 1912, for the purpose of Investigating an appropriation of $10,000 is pro- vided

PROGRESSIvES ON
 TRIAL

As predicted, the Republican man. agers at Washington have decided to prevent, if possible, the passage of any tariff measure during the extra ses sion Of Congress, and in this course they are evidently to have the aid of President Taft To effect their pur- pose. they must secure the assistance of the Progressive Republicans in the Senate Their argument is that Con- gress should await the report of the Tariff board on the cotton and woolen schedules, which is promised for Dec. l. the beginning of the regular ses- sion
 The House Democratic caucus, Sat urday, placed tariff measures upon the programme for the extra session, and it is virtually beyond doubt that one of those measures will revise the woolen schedule which was once de- nounced by President Taft as "inde- fensible''. Such a measure, wisely constructed, could not consistently be opposed by the Progressive Republican Senators, nor vetoed by President Taft
 Practically, the whole situation is controlled by the Republican Progress sives. They hold a balance of power between the two parties in the Senate. In effect, they are on trial before the people. They have steadily fought for tariff-revision downward. It remains 10 be seen whether they will so con- tinue or stultify themselves. If they, at Regular Republican instance. take tho latter course, their constituents will probably repudiate them at the first opportunity. and their campaign for control of the Republican National convention of 1912 will be foredoomed
 The Progressives have it within their power to either make or mar the future of their element. They must either continue their forward course or go backward and accept the conse- quences. The Democratic House will place these two alternatives before them. and the issue is too plain to be lodged.

4 new charter for New York city is proposed. One of the changes em- bodied therein gives the Fire Commis- sioner power to enforce all fire laws and to order the installation of auxil- iary fire alarm systems, fire extin- gushing equipment and the construc- tion of adequate fire escapes on any building Should such orders not be obeyed, he is authorized to make the changes, and the charge therefor will become a lien on the property. He may also order buildings vacated or 5orn down.
 IT IS a very comprehensive power which is thus lodged in the Fire Com missioner. but perhaps not too great fo meet existing conditions. The best feature of 1t is the concentration of power. in place of division between several officials. It assures action and direct responsibility and should suffice to prevent the occurrence of such heavy loss of lives as that of last week

vldes passenger rate of cents a mile on railroads in that State. This provision has been overturned by a decision of the U. S. Circuit Court of Appeals at St. Louis. upon the ground that question as to whether any rate of transportation was reasonable or confiscatory was one to be determined by the judicial not the legislative function. The case will probably go to the U. s. Supreme court, which means a lengthy delay before final settlement.

From the political activity of the officers of the New Haven Police court, says 'sTrumbull'' in the New York Herald, may be safely dated much of the trouble that has followed, including the existing split in the Re- publican party throughout the State"
 If this is wholly true, tke General Assembly which is under Republican control. should be not only willing but anxious to change the method of ap- pointing judges of the minor courts, either by giving the power of nomina- tion to the Governor or by conferring the power of election directly upon the people. Either method would be a grateful and salutary change from the present system
