JOHN LEAHY's CASE.

Certain bigots and immigrant
baiters in the United States want an
educational test for the foreigners
that come to our shores. Is it nee
essary? A few days ago there died
in New York a man who had made
more than $1,OOO,OOO. His name
was John Leahy and he was born
in Ireland seventy years ago. He
was never able to read or write
but what he lacked in booklearning
he made up in native shrewdness
and judgment of men. His life was
an exemplary one and he was
respected by millionaire and laborer
He bequeathed great part of his
fortune to works of charity. His
life shows that an educational test
is not necessary to good citizenship

HOT OYSTER
 BED BATTLE

There was a hot battle on the oys- ter beds below the watch house. in New Haven harbor on Monday after noon, in which the watchmen in charge of the property discharged sev- eral pistol shots at persons who were the oysters are laid down for fatten- ing purposes. After threats of def- ance the marauders finally left.
 The watchmen at the watch house have been annoyed ever since the oys- ter season opened this fall by the in vasion of clam diggers, or of men who claim to be clam diggers. who walk instead of digging clans, steal oysters and carry them off
 This annoyance has been going on for a month or more, and some of the men, who pose as fishermen, have, 1t is said, threatened the lives of the watchmen of the beds in case they interfere with their plans.
 On Monday there came the clash between the watchmen and the dep- redators, during which the watch men fired several pistol shots in the air.
 Now, the watchmen say, that if these attempts at thievery are kept up they will shoot to kill hereafter. It is claimed that hundreds of bush els or oysters nave DeeH puFloined Dy the so-called clam diggers and harbor fishermen in the manner indicated above
 The men employed at the watch house are under the. pay of the oys- ter companies, which lay down .oys- ters in New Haven harbor. For a good portion of the day this crop is comparatively bare, and open to any body's selection. At high water, of course, it is perfectly safe from any approach which pot hunters might make upon it.

IroIIeymen Have
 Long Memories

'I want to have you pull the sec ond lever, and do yourself a favor as well as the community said a we'll known Republican worker to a trol- ley motorman this morning.
 ''Whatl' exclaimed the motorman. How can I or any other employe of the trolley company vote for him. He is on record as holding a fellow work man of mine under bonds and allow ing a rich young automobilist his liberty at time when the question was unsettled as to which one was guilty of manslaughter. The young college fellow with his drinking party in his automobile had influence and could get bonds but the poor guy who only knew how to operate a trolley car had to stand the gaff. We fellows on the trolley cars are In- clined to believe that we should not reward the coroner for his failure to hold this swell young fellow for in quiry as well as the motorman. This young man with his big touring car is only one of many of his kind who are wont to run recklessly along suburban trolley lines during dark nights.
 Coroner Wilson who now wants to be mayor has impressed very vividiy upon our minds that we must be very careful and not get struck by one of these automobiles or we will have to stand for a rigid investigation wheth CT the automobilist is held or not, particularly when the scion of some rich family is giving a joy ride with divorced woman in the party.
 'I know several fellows who gave up work as motormen because they knew there was considerable hazard to the job and they did not like the outlook of a collision, followed by an inquest.
 'sOh, yes we will remember Wilson
 vt@Iz were elected by the people and he was running for that job.''

Three Arrested
 For Store Fire

New Haven, Nov 1-The owner of the store, Luigi Madonna, and two rel atives. Frank Mago and Ralph Croc- co, were arrested on the charge of attempted arson by Detectives Ward and Dorman last night in consequence of the fire which burned out the Ma donna tailor shop, at the corner of Temple and Commerce streets, on Sunday night. It is claimed that the stock of the store was insured at about s3,5OO, while it's actual value is but a small part of that amount. There were three fires in this build ing within a couple of months, and this fact was what originally directed suspicion to the origin of the blaze.
 The three men arrested were all found around the store on the night of the fire. Other facts were discover ed by the officers in their investiga- tion of the blaze which led them to a belief that these three should be held to an accounting in connection with the fire.
 Madonna, the owner of the store, was in trouble of the same kind some time ago, when a fire burned out a store run by him on Grand avenue.
 The bonds are fixed at $2,000 for each prisoner.

GOV. BALDWIN DANCES, SPURNS AUTO AND THEN
 WALKS MILE TO DEPOT

Stamford. Nov. 1.-The attitude of Gov Simeon F, Baldwin, mentioned frequently as. a ipossibleb Democratic candidate for President in 1912, is thought to have been shown Monday night when the Governor courteousIy declined pressing invitations to spend the night at the homes of Demo cratic National Committeeman Homer s. Cummings, Judge Charles ID. Lock- wood, and others, and insisted on zo- ing to a hotel.
 The Governor was here to dedicate an armory. He made a speech and led the grand march at a military ball following the dedication He stayed in the armory till long after midnight and did not appear in the least fatigued when he returned Co the hotel. In the morning earsy, spurning carriage or automobile, he took his handbag and walked to the railroad station, mile distant, fc board a train for New Haven.

MUST GIVE APOLOGY
Cigarmakers Insist on Public Retrac. tiOn by Those Who Announced
 Strike

New Haven, Nov. 1-The local or- ganization of the Cigar Makers Un- ion held a long session last night to take up the matter of charges that were made against John B. Carey. P. J. Meehan, Paul .Schiff, and Edward Schindle, who were accused of pro- mitigating false information in stat ing that a general strike of the cigar pakers was to take place here on last Monday week.
 The story was untrue. That there is a fight op among the 560 cigar makers over the matter of the dis position of smoker" cigars is admit ted.
 There was a long battle over the misstatement matter last night and it was shown that some one took the strike statement to a newspaper office and declared that, as a member of the union, he was authorized to represent "the strike committee
 There were two verdictS given. One was that the four men responsible for the publication of the statement be compelled to make public retrac- tion and apology through the press. The other was not announced last night as it cannot be divulged until the International Union has acted up- on it.

 mond ring to J. H. Tallerdy, two of the most popular members Of the lodge, winners in the contest for

 new members. The presentation by Dr. O. L.. Massinger, the lodge phy- sician, and the recipients made fitting replies amid storms of applause Dictator c. l.. Dennis welcomed the huge assemblage. All the guests were supplied with pipes and tobacco and the air was blue with fragrant smoke. Rev. E. J. Craft. rector of Christ
 church, delivered a very clever and
 witty address on the virtues of to-
 bacco. Detective George Haux of the local force sang a number of tenor
 solos which were loudly encored. Po-
 liceman John Cody was called on for
 some of his inimitable dialect stories,
 all of which were warmly 'applauded. Other features of the entertainment included songs by John Van Slyke Of
 New York, and a duet by George Haux and MT. Wilson, who presided
 at the piano; an address by Attorney Charles H. Shapiro; playing of the old fashioned ''bones'' by Messrs. O'Don- nell and Hellman; recitations, Charles
 Penz; poem, "If I Were Mayor, by

 tainment features
