 Hartford, April 13-Led by Mayor E.. T. Buckingham, a large number of Bridgeport State and city officials in cluding Senator Garry Paddock, Rep resentatives w. w. Bent and Joshua Meltzer City Attorney Cullinan, City Clerk Boucher, and Aldermen Clamp cit, Brady, Jackson, Walker and Mey- CT, urged the railroad committee of the Legislature yesterday afternoon to grant the Connecticut Go. the right to extend it's tracks from the present terminus in North Main street to the Trumbull line.
 Vice-President Calvert Townley for the company said that although the company had not originally asked for the right to extend it's tracks over the proposed route, it had agreed with Mayor Buckingham and the other city officials of Bridgeport to build to the Trumbull line providing the authority to do so was given by the Legislature. At the suggestion of Senator Pad dock the committee decided to hear at some future date that. part of the company's petition which has to do with the extension of it's lines through Central avenue to Mill Hill Senator Paddock said that the Central avenue residents desired to be heard on this matter and he believed that the prop CT route was M1tl. Hill venue. Representing the residents of Mill Hill avenue Attorney Arthur M. Marsh op- posed the extension of the company's lines through that thoroughfare.
 President George M. Flames of the Park board of Bridgeport representing the board informed the committee that his purpose in being present was to oppose the laying of any street rail- way company tracks upon any portion of the park property. In regard to the tion he. had nothing to say as he be- lieved that'was a matter which should properly come before the Common Council
 That part of the companys petition which has to do with the extension of it's tracks from Park avenue west to the Barnum Dike which Mayor Buck ingham has earnestly advocated in or der that therem ay be trolley com- municatiOn to and from the public baths at Seaside park has gone over for a future hearing. The company wants permission to extend it's tracks from Park avenue west through At lantic street while the city of Bridge port has voted through it's Common Council to grant permission for the extension of it's lines west from Park avenue through South avenue.
 Attorney Frank s. Bishop of New Haven appeared as counsel for the Bridgeport and Danbury Street Rail- way Go. and opposed the petition of the officials of Bridgeport on the ground that his company already held the charter rights to construct the line in North Main street from the

 Mayor Buckingham, Senator Pad dock, Representatives Bent and Melt ger and Aldermen Brady and Jack son strongly urged the committee to disregard the pleas of the Bridgeport 6 Danbury Go. and allow the Conn. Co. to extend it's lines to the Trum- bull town line- They said the. Bridge port & Danbury Go. had been jockey ing along on a vest pocket charter for four years and that a year ago it Bridgeport and obtained favorable CO., operation on the part of the city off, ficials to proceed with the construc- tion of it's lines. but it had not done so. Instead 1t had used the authority conferred upon it to dispose of it's pany had been given ample time to begin operations if it\really meant business. On the other hand the Connecticut Co. has expressed it's will ingness to go to work at once and within six months time the people of Bridgeport would be enjoying the privileges of the extension to the Trumbull line: with the great advan- tage of one fare, and no fussing or bothering over transfers.
 Attorney Bishop held that the Leg islature has no right to grant per- mission to the Conn. Co to extend it's lines through the territory for which his company held the charter and as- sured the company that the present owners of the charter were in earnest and as an indication of their inten- tiohs he was perfectly willing that the committee should designate time limit by which the work should be completed in Bridgeport.
 In spite of the protestations of At torney Bishop the Bridgeport Repre- sentatives insisted that the sentiment of their community was entirely in favor of allowing this work to be done by the Connecticut Company for in that event they will be certain that there will be no double fare within the city limits. Senator Pad dock said that the sentiment in Bridgeport was, to get what you want at the start, and then you are sure of it.
 Mayor Buckingham said he had per. Buckland and President Mellen that if the Legislature granted the Conn., Co., the right to extend it's lines dirt would be flying within a very short time after the necessary approval was given and that the line would be cona- pleted and in operation before the ex- piratiOn of the present summer

a little Water company over in Fair Haven. which by the most vivid imagination could not be regarded as affecting the river flowing through Orange and Milford. should be the ground now for the New Haven Com panys taking this river; and what ever it's investment whether $20O,000 or $30O,O0O. as it variously estimates, it is many times exceeded by the in- vestment which is at stake on both banks of the river from the point of proposed diversion to Long Island Sound. But it is not @ part of. Mill ford's intention to vitiate the Water company's investment. It is a part of it's proposal that after the charter is amended that the control of the Providence confided it, the Water company shall be allowed to use the equipment it has installed during cer- tain periods of the year when water can be spared from the river with out serious injury to those below. There is a considerable portion of the year during which large quantities of water could be so diverted and used by the company at it's discretion or conserved in lakes or reservoirs against a possible season of especial need.
 "Thus it arises that what is consid- cred a very reasonable request is made of the General Assembly that it so amend the Company's charter that the control of the River shall lie with those to whom the River was given by Nature and to whom it is so es- sential for the maintenance of present values and beauty and. as a basis of further growth and development
 This request has been adjudged an entirely proper and just one by the Interpretations Committee before which it was thoroughly discussed and hIy iS ed The bill now deserves the active support of all throughout the state who prize scenic beauty, value jus tice, or who have in their own sec tions valuable natural assets subject to similar depreciation"

MILFORD FIGHTS TO SAVE THE WEPAWAUC RIVER
New Haven Water Company Seeks to Take Beautiful Stream Under Authority of Ancient Grant
Support Sought For Bill Before General Assembly Which Seeks Repeal of Gift-Abun- dant Precedent For Such an Act
Especial to The Farmer. )

Milford April 13.-The citizens of Milford are much disturbed by the effort of the New Haven Water Com der the authority of a grant made to the Fair Haven Water Company many years ago, the New Haven company having since acquired the rights. The position of the town is represented in a statement made by the civic organ izations of the town and others as follows:
 ."The Wepawaug river originates in the hills of Bethany and Woodbridge, flows through the town of orange and Milford, emptying into Long ls- land Sound at Milford. That section has been settled and developed as 1t has principally because of the river. The river is the back bone Of the sec ton in which centre all the nerve flores actuating the establishment or these settlements, the founding or the villages. the investments in homes and improvements for the enhance ment of the natural beauties of the river and it's valley. Despoil that river and you confiscate values in ad- joining property, and investments in improvements aggregatlng many hun dred thousand dollars, and you de- spoil the scenic beauty of an import ant SectlOn OI tHe Sla.le-et SCehlS beauty that is a priceless asset to these towns and to the property own CTS all along it's banks.
 s'There is abundant precedent for withdrawing from the Water Com pany the right to take the river. Each General Assembly is a power unto it. self not bound down by what previous General Assemblies have done, but able to correct the mistakes made by previous legislatures. The General Assembly of 1909, for example, amended the charter of the Water bury Water Company revoking its right to take the water of Bantam scenic beauty is a tangible asset and streams contributing to the scenic beauty of a section have been ad- judged by the courts as appropriated waters.
 'eThe Water company very likely has. as it admits, been laying its plans for the past ten or more years and in that time has secured such sweeping charter rights that it seems to have due sanction for the taking of this water. But it's sanction is mere ap- parent than real. In all it's plans, it has, with obvious intent, avoided con- fiding in and conferring with those to be most seriously affected. This is the first opportunity those adversely affected have had to object since it became known that the corporation proposed to take this river. And now Milford and Orange are told by the Water company that it has made an investment for the purpose of taking the river and 1t has a right to do so under an old charter of the Fair Ha- ven Water company. It is objected that while this may be technically correct it is not morally right that d charter granted twenty years ago to

Higgins Files Brief In The Contested
 Election Case
Especial from united Press.,

(Speclal rom United PreSs.)
 Norwich, Nov. 1.-The brief filed by Congressman Edwin W. Higgins, con- testee in the election case of Richmond J. Jodoin vs. Edwin W. Higgins, open ed with a statement of the facts, showing that at the November 8, 1910, election. in the 3rd Congressional dis trict, Higgins was declared elected over Jodoin by a plurality of 7S votes. Jodoin contested the election, said the brief, in its summary, carrying the case to the credentials committee of the sgd Congress. If a recount was necessary, Congressman Higgins want ed a Federal judge in the contested district to conduct it.
 In the argument proper, Higgins brief stated:
 ''It does not appear from the evil dence thus far submitted that a re- count of the ballots would change the result. The contestant cannot know that a recount would result in his election. The contestee, on the other hand, produces statement of the au- thorities charged with examining the returns which shows him to have been duly elected and alleges that a recount and the correction of any errors that have been made would enlarge and not diminish his plurality.
 We respectfully ask that, if a re- count is ordered, a Federal judge in the Congressional district may be ap- piled to to conduct 1t, or that the boxes be ordered to Washington and the committee direct the examination to be made in such manner as, in it's Judgment, shall seem best"

Special from United Press. )

Especial from United Press.)
 Pekin, Nov. 15-American interven- tion in China as threatened by hur- ried military movements in the Phil ippines, unquestionably would cause grave trouble in China, it is believed here today.
 Neither the imperial government nor the revolutionist republicans are ex- pected to submit willingly to the land- ing of American soldiers.
 According to cablegrams from Washington, the American govern ment is holding troops and transports in readiness in the Philippines to dis patch 10000 regulars to China.
 To prevent just such an occurrence, the imperial troops and the rebels have been most scrupulous in regard ing the rights, lives and property of foreigners.
 Both sides realize that every time foreign troops land in China a slice of Chinese land Is carved off for the power that sends soldiers
 It is known in official circles here, however, that the military prepara- tions in the Philippines are going for ward with great vim. It is under stood here that America will act for all the powers, in case of interven- tion, and that there would not be an allied force such as Admiral Sey- mour took into Pekin during the
