CONSIDER 1T AGAIN!
CBridreDOrt Teyeoran,

AT the risk of being considered the
sworn friend of procrastination, the
idea of postponing the making of new
charters or charter amendments un-
TIL 1913 is an excellent one. Those
now before the public are plainly
crude and hastily devised and Bridge
port has already suffered many an
noyances from similar mistakes. At
present, matters are in such a state
that nobody, with the possible excep-
ton of the City Auditor, is able to tell
with any degree of accuracy what the
organic law of the city really is. There
is nothing to be gained and much to
be lost by deepening this confusion.
Many things will happen in Bridge
port and outside of it during the
next two years, and many interestfng
experiments in city management
which are now only in the making
are likely to show definite results be-
fore the coming of the next legisla-
ture. 1t would be we'll for Bridge
port to profit by the success or fail
ure Of these before it commits itself
to an entirely new plan of local gov
eminent.
It is desirable that many minds
should be bent upon the problem of a
new charter. Very few individuals
or associations are able to see all
sides of such a large question, !. 1t
10 also pIODdDl lnat at the END Of
two years Bridgeport will be in a
calmer frame of mind than 1t is at
present. It will have grown accus-
toned to its new dignity of being the
second city in the state and it NAV
perhaps have different conceptions
of the best way of living up to it.

sive projects now before the legisia-
ture have failed to present the public
with any definite plans of the build
ings or other objects for which they
are asking such extrava CANT sums.
Even if the requests should ultimately
be granted, there can be little doubt
that the money would be much more
wisely spent if the promoters of these
costly schemes had time to find ont

When Senators Conkling and Platt
OF New York resigned. they were dis
gruntled over the Administrations
disposal Of Federal patronage In their
State. When Senator Bailey of Texas
resigned on Saturday last. he was
angered thereto because some 20 or
more Democratic Senators declined to
follow his lead upon the proposed ad-
mission of Arizona to Statehood. Be-
coming convinced apparently that his
action was childish. he withdrew the
resignation. He was opposed to the
admission Of Arizona because it's con-
stitution contained the initiative. recall
and referendum; the Democrats who
refused to follow him. held that Ari-
sona exercised clear right in adopt
ing these principles.
- might be said. with truth. that
Senator Bailey is prone to the 'off
OK role. and that. In view of the
important questions to come before
the next Congress. the Democratic
Senators would promote the party's
policies by selecting for leader some
mcrber less likely to become chronic
objector and less welded to a belief
that he alone is gifted with infallibil-
ity.

FIRST CASE WITHDRAWN
Attempt Made to Obviate
Legal Objections Which

Clarence L. Barber. a New York law

Superior court recently. Is now follow

the same ground in which the plain
tiff has endeavored to elm ate OBJ

terday when service was made on the
secretary OF the New Haven road and
also writ was left for Mr.. Morgan
personally.
This is the case in which Barber.

to prosecute Morgan who was a parry

American company to the English
company. He bases his action On a
claimed Connecticut State law. which
makes stockholder who participates

Under the. law the suit was brought
at the last term of the court. but

in order to be able to maintain his
position in court.
The new writ covers the attachment
of stock Of record of resident. and

ANNEXATION IS
REFERRED TO The
CITY BY COUNCIL

The Aldermen last night adopted a
resolution offered by Alderman Guy p
Miller to the effect that 1t was the
sense of the council that the matter OF
the annexation of Stratford be sub
mitted to the voters of the city and
town of Stratford at the next cleo
ton.
Before the meeting of the council At
torney James A. MARI met the major
ity of the Aldermen in the office of
the Mayor and endeavored to have
them consider proposition to endorse
annexation at the meeting last night,
Alderman Daniel z. Walker told the
attorney that he was opposed to such
proposition. and asked Mr.. MARI
whom he represented.
The LAWYER did not answer, and then
the Alderman from the Fourth told
him that he probably represented a
lot of read estate men who were out
to boom their land. He added: "Who
lives over there in Stratford that we
want in Bridgeport? After we get
body will protest against the foreign
element. There is nothing over there
but a lot Of shacks built on lots. the
size they sell in cemetery. and the
houses are the siz eof cigar boxes.

Mr.. Mari told what a good thing
1t would be for the city and its
growth. and wanted the endorsement
of the Aldermen. but the majority of
the Aldermen seemed to agree with
Alderman Walker and the proposition
reached the council in the form of the
resolution to have the people vote up
on the matter
Alderman Guy P. Miller said that
his resolution left the council i'm a
neutral position upon the question of
annexation. and left 1t wholly to the
voters to decide.

PROTECTION OF swmD LIFE

ARriculturists are becoming some
what lisgusted over the protection OF
Wild life. Deer have been protected
until. In the sections most freouented
by them. they are now menace to
crops and fruit trees and do much
damage. 1t u now proposed to con-
tfnue the protection. or at least to so
limit the "open'' time that the num-
Dor Of deer cannot be materially re-
ducod.
rabbits are also protected. and there
\ II some danger that the "close" sea-
son win be extended. They do great
damage 10 young fruit trees. In
stances are known where entire young
orchards. started at heavy cost, have
!. been destroyed. They have become
very numerous under the States pol
Icy OF protection.
Robins and other small non-game
birds have become so numerous under
protection that in some sections 1t Is
nearly or quite impossible. to grow
cherries and berries.
It II the opinion Of many that the
policy Of protecting wild life is being
carried to an extreme. The benefits
do not balance the damages. Although
the State pays for damage done by
deer. It Is not probable that more than
tenth OF the damages sustained are
reported. The State pays no dam
ages for the devastation caused by
rabbits. robins. etc.
NJ the State projects. it should pay
all losses caused By its policy. or at
least should allow landowners to pro-
tsct themselves from losses. An
owner. at present. must stand by and
see his berry patch or his cherry trees
absolutely denuded. without redress.
And this. in the cases OF deer and
rabbits for the sole benefit of hunt
ers. and IN the. case If robins. ETC.. at
the instance Of sentimentalists who
find In bird-sonas q full recompense
for the losses to fruit and berry grow
err. =
we suggest to the Legislature that
the protectivel policy is being carried
to m unbeneficent extreme.

PREDICT BIG l;f.tJrS
Reports From North, We5t and
South Indicate Good Year.
Soil Conditions Are Excellent and
While Individual Crops May Be
Smaller Than Last Year, They
Are Diversified.

st. Louis.-Reports on agricultural
indications from all the great pro-
ducing states of the middle west, the
north, the northwest, the west, the
southwest, the south and the south
east are exceptionally propitiOus.
Weather conditions have put the soil
into the best of shape and everything
is favorable for large and good crops.
Interpretation of the reports, OBJ
tanned from authentic and reliable
sources, leads to the conclusion that,
while the crops may not be as large,
individually, as last year, the prOGuc-
ton will be more diversified and the
total output will be enormous.
Should this understanding Of the
reports materialize, the tendency
would be toward comparatively high
prices. At the same time the volume
of the general agricultural production
should afford employment TO t vast
army of laborers and cause such
distribution of the revenue as TO vital
ize trade.
Taking the producing territories in
their entirety, the soil conditions are
better than ordinary and The crop
prospects are excellent. There is one
locality in the southwest ard enc in
the northwest which declare weather
and soil conditions to be disCOuI2ging
and Montana fears that a too rapid
thawing of the mountain SHOWS might
result in another dry season. Other
wise the reports are more than graft
flying
All the crops, without exception, are
said to be at least as good as a year
ago, with better soil conditions. IL
fact, it would not be surprising il the
grain production should exceed the
forecast, in which case prices would
not be so high.
But the communications appear to
show at present that while iEdiViduaE
crops will not be extraordinary, the
total production will be enormous. In
any event, the farmers look forward
to a very prosperous year, and this, or
course, means heavy wholesale and re-
tail trade.
The fruit crop has not been dam
aged much Most of the reports indi"
cate rather a large and qualitative
fruit crop. The same Inference holds
regarding early vegetables.
Probably the most significant foa-
ture of the communications is the eX-
pansion of farming in southeastern
and southern states. DiversifcatioD
steadily is becoming more vital fac
tor in American production. The col
lective reports seem to indicate large
and diversified crops, with work for
many laborers and the probability OF
comparatively high prices.
They assure a prosperous Jar to
the farmer, the merchant and the
workman, provided the turns OF the
seasons are favorable to the cror5 and
normal weather promises favorable
conditions.

IMPORTER OF ANIMAL SKINS
United States Does Immense Business
With South and Central Amer
lean Hunters in Hides.

Los Angeles, GAIA large business
is done between the South American
countries and the United States in
the line of skins, most Of which are
made use of in the manufacture of
gloves.
The trade is particularly active in
deerskins, which are gathered in
Mexico and Central America and in
the northern countries of South Amer
lea, including Brazil. In these coun-
tries, where deer abound, there are
many natives who make living col
lecting deer hides, which they bring
by muleback or foot to the various
are found.
The supply is still large, but with
continued killing the deer in these
countries are less plentiful than they
were
Deerskins are shipped dry in bun
dies of 100 each. They are tanned in
this country and used here in the
manufacture of light and medium
weight gloves for men and women.
Boarskins come from Mexico, and
the hide of the Mexican pecary, with
fur or bristles Of a pepper and salt
mixture in color, the beast being a
strengthening animal alive. Like
deersllins, boar hides are shipped dry.
The boarskin makes a heavier leather
than deerskin and is used for glove
trimmings.
Goatskins in large number are i'm
ported from the various Latin-Amer-
lean countries, including the West
Indies; but the great source of the
worlds supply of goatskins are China,
Russia and the East Indies. in the
order named. From those countries
there are imported into the United
States annually millions of goatskins,
which are made into leather, 80 per
cent of which is used in the manufac-
ture of shoes. Goatskins are shipped
principally dry.
From the countries to the south of
the United States are brought an
nually some thousands of alligator
hides, mostly from Mexico and the
United States of Colombia, with some
from Ecuador
Formerly some alligator leather
was used for shoes and boots, but
now it is used chiefly in the manu-
facture Of handbags and suit cases.
Occasionally there are brought here
a few manatee, or seacow hides,
which come from Mexico These
hides are shipped wet sailed. The
manatee hide tans into very thick
leather, cheaper than walrus leather,
but used like it for the making of
buffing wheels for polishing purposes.
From Mexico also come a few tiger
cub skins, which are tanned and
made up into rugs.

Growing Enthusiasm in Great Britain
and King and Queen Gain in
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Appear
ance in the West End.

London.-PersOns DESTROYS of OBJ
tanning places to view the coronation
procession should act quickly, as seats
are selling by the hundreds every day.
The prices range from 1 to 1000
guineas ($5 to $4,000 The greatest
care is advisable, as some of the
agents are doing their utmost to run
the charges up to stunning amounts.
Another thing to bear in mind is the
location Of seats. Those accessible
only from the front will have to be Oc-
cupied probably before seven O'Clock
in the morning. Whereas those reach
ed from the rear may be occupied just
before the passing of the procession.
That the crowds are to be unprece-
dented IS explained largely by the fact
that the day of coronation, June %,
has been declared a bank holiday,
which will release tens of thousands of
employees who otherwise would be
kept away from the line of march
Special trains will run from all parts
of the United Kingdom, and the colo
MES are expected to send 100000 Wis
itors. The number of those coming
from America probably will reach rec
ord figures.
Every street in the crowded area
will planked on both sides, shutting off
the shops, and dangerous hooks and
corners will be closed. The inten-
ton is to convert the streets into safe
channels for the floods of humanity.
On every hand spirit Of growing
enthusiasm is manifested and the king
and queen are gaining fresh popular
laurels week by week. The work of
preparing Westminster abbey for the
coronation is being hurried as great
changes are to be made within and
without. An annex is being built, eX-
ternally indistinguishable from the
gray, time worn abbey itself. Here
the professional order will be formed
before the king and queen proceed to
the place of browning. The special
coronation committee, the earl mar
shall of England and almost every gov
ernmental department are busy with
some part of the coronation prepare
tons.
For the decoration Of the streets
special committee has been appointed,
and an attempt will be made to give
the West end the appearance of fairy |
