PURE FOOD LAWS
 HAVEN'T SPOILED
 THE TROUT SEASON
Lots of Bridgeporters Made Good Catches on Saturday, the Opening Day

The pure food laws, which require that "all bait'' shall be labelled synthetic or compound" or ''bot- tied in bond" according to it's char acter, have had no bad effect upon the trout season, according to Dan Smith, the veteran sportsman whose store at A Fairfield avenue is q mecca for Fairfield County sports men.
 "Of course, it's cold" said MT. Smith this morning, "but there's plen- ty of water in the brooks and appar- ently plenty of trout Lots of the local boys have made good catches, and the fellows up country are send ing in word that the fishing is fine.
 '"The demand for tackle is just as big as ever at the opening of the season. Of course many or the fish ermen don't like to start until about May 1st, fearing colds in the head. Others aren't afraid of colds in the head, and others know a good cure"
 Harry Way, who has always gone trout fishing on the opening day since time immemorial, made no exception to his rule this year. and as usual. came back loaded with fine catch of the speckled beauties.
 Bob Jelliffee, who went out Satur- day returned with a catch of eleven fine ones. which he proudly exhibited to his friends.
 pr. Robert Lynch, Chris Ronai Gejzi Bachmann. Will Perry, and sev- eral other Bridgeporters met with ex- cellent success on the opening day and materially depleted the brooks of their filmed inhabitants.
 The trout season opened Saturday. April 1, and will continue until July 1, on which date it will become time for the bass to surrender to the wiles of crickets, helgramites, and Dowa- giac minnows.

ceased, the one the throwing open of the island free and the other the re- sum1ng of steamboat connection with Che island
 Mir. Tilyou said the steamboat ser vice to the Island was not to his mind a satisfactory arrangement. The steamers ran aground, were not on schedule, and could not be run often enough. "On hot day If you have to wait 20 minutes for boat, you're ready to swear you waited an hour, said he. recounting the experiences with patrons who kicked on the steam boat service. "One Fourth, of July We had the unpleasant experience of running aground with a. load of pas sengers. The boats were not a suc- cess. That's why we had the bridge constructed"
 Then discussing the proposition Of a certain newspaper that the island should be thrown open free, Mir. Til you said he would do that just as soon as the newspapers threw open it's ad- vertising columns free. One was just asslogical as the other, he said.
 Continuing with a discussion of the amusement possibilities of the island for the summer, MT. Tilyou said he has in mind an aero meet of two or three days. for which he plans to offer prizes of more than $10,0O0 per- haps as much as $20.OO0.
 Captain Boyton told me it wouldn't pay" said the amusement promoter, his ordinarily stern features relaxing into a smile, as he turned to the veteran snowman. But I know if I succeeded in bringing here the sort If an exhibition I have in mind. it will draw from many miles around, even from New York. In an exhibition If this sort, you must have the best ,r none at all. That Is my belief. And while I'm not certain I can get the men I want. if I fail 1t won't be because I haven't the heart"
 MT. Enos promised the Island repre- sentatives that he would attend to the filing of the necessary applica- ton with the common council for the extension of the tracks.
 Were ready to start work at once'' declared Captain Boyton, ''this week, and perhaps tomorrow"
 The island is owned by the estate of the late John H. McMahon and is held under 10 years lease with purchase privilege by Mir Tilyou. Nothing further definite as to the na- ture of the arrangement under which Captain Boyton will run the island was disclosed at the conference to- day.

WATER AND OIL
 ARE NOT MIXING
Difference of Opinion Be- tween City Officials and Contractor Over Street Sprinkling.

The Burns Co. street sprinkling g contractors, laid the dust today on streets that Director Kenny instructed them to leave unsprinkled. Director Kenny, an enthusiast on the subject of road oiling, has favored this means of laying dust to the old method of sprinkling streets.
 Last week he wrote the Burns Co. instructing them as to the streets that will be oiled this year. and warning them. that if they sprinkle such thor oughfares the city will not be respon- sible for the cost of the work. on the ground that the contract of the Burns Go. Is not binding upon the city to pay for the sprinl1ling Of such streets the city may desire to oil.
 The letter contained a list of the streets i'll question. It was handed of the company, by Inspector Cour- tade, Saturday afternoon.
 Mayor Buckingham and Mir. Ford were in conference on the question, Saturday. Director Kenny and the Mayor held a conference today on the situation. The Mayor declined to dis cuss the matter. Director Kenny said he had not yet taken steps to stop the work, but would be guided by legal advice as to his actions in the mat ter.
 Attorney William A. Redden, of the firm of Davenport, Banks & Redden, counsel for the Burns Co.,, claims that under the Burns Go. contract with the city, which has another year to run, they are compelled to sprinkle certain streets. The Burns Co. within the past year has laid out considerable money in equipment and this year purchased horses valued between ST. 900 and $S,O0O for use on their sprink- ling wagons. The company is pre- pared to carry out it's contract with the city and will sprinkle such streets with water as called for under the contract

Taft Tells To
 SuIZer Mexican
 ''Inside" Story
But Democratic Congress man Is Obliged to Keep Presidents Words a Sec ret.
Especial from United Press.

\SpCCidi IIOIu GT6SS.1
 Washington, April S-In his capacity as chairman of the new House Com mittee on Foreign Affairs, Representa- tive Sulzer, (Dem., N. Y) was called to the White House. today, to hear from President Taft the inside story of the Mexican situation.
 "I am obliged to holdS the Presi- dents statements in confdence.', said Sulzer as he left the White House.
 Significance was attached, today, to the fact that throughout his efforts to forestan 4n investigation by Congress President Taft has called in Repre- sentatives and Senators connected with the foreign affairs committees and not the military affairs committee.
 Officials who attempted to deny the statements that the activities of Ja- pan in Mexico were connected with the military demonstrations and gave, as their explanation. the assertion that mobilization was merely for military maneuvers" are now left without a leg to stand upon. There Is no effort on the part of the White House to conceal the fact that a crit ical international situation was threat ening and that the nasty calling out of the army was designed to forestall it's continuation.
 It was learned, today, that in the event a demand is made for a full statement of his reason for calling out the troops, the President would, in all probability. reply that 1t would be incompatible with the public well fare" -.
 AS the relations with Japan. fol- lowing the military demonstration accomplished its purpose are now en- tirely satisfactory, it is considered most inadvisable to make any official statement at this time.

 New Rochelle, April 3-That the professors in Wesleyan University are so loyal to their duties that several fthem have refused an increase of 100 percent to teach elsewhere was the assertion made before the New York East Conference of the Metho- dist, Episcopal church, this afternoon, by Rev. pr. William R. Shanklin, President of the institution. He in- the conference should aid the univer- sity and said that contributions to the endowment fund now being raised would be greatly appreciated.

Shanklin cited the case tof some of the professors in the university who had recently refused offers of s5 GOO a year to start with and in- less than $7,500 as proof that the uni- versity has been unable to do it's duty by the men have brought it to the forefront of the educational world. Professor Caleb R. Winchester and Professor Armstrong, he said, were two of the faculty that had refused to go elsewhere at every material financial sacrifice to themselves.
 Another feature of the conference session was the report of Rev. Dr. A. H. Goodenough. superintendent of the New York District. who said that his district was enjoying a period of un- precedented prosperity while the reli- gious spirit was also on the increase. During the past year, he said. four teen of the churches had voluntarily increased the salaries of their minis ters and others were planning to do so in the near future. Many mort gages had been cancelled during thA year and conditions were pleasing to church members and the ministers alike everywhere in the district.
 Newfield Church in Bridgeport, he said. although ruined by a fire, had thrown itself into the breech to rem edy condition with such vim that a better church will result. Membership was increasing wonderfully.
 During the morning sessions a mum. Der of the retiring ministers stirred the conference to prolonged applause by their recital of their experiences It is expected the conference appoint ments VIII be announced tomorrow night.

case down to cold hard facts.
 ! City Attorney Prepares Draft.
 City Attorney Cullinan, acting un- der the direction of the committee has drafted for them a notice in structtng the counsel for MT. Muivi- hill to make several of the various paragraphs more specified.
 The committee outlines in it's mo- tice that it has no desire to restrict or hamper Attorney Judson or his client but makes the order merely as a time saving expedient.
 The order makes 1t incumbent up- on Mulvihiil to set forth just what employees he means when. he asserts that certain employees were retained on the payroll when their services had terminated: what checks were drawn in favor of the city engineer for expenses he had incurred iiiegaI- ly; names and dates and numbers of checks alleged to have played a part in the coercion of loans iron, city employees on the part of the engineer. and similar matters in which cheeks figure.
 The committee holds that inasmucA as such matters as these are of rec ord, and that the investigators lost much time at the last hearing in searching for checks, vouchers, etc, brought into question. 1t is. not unfair to Mir. Judson and it Is in the interest of time that such amendments be made to the various paragraphs. $
 MT. Judson Is requested to have the amended information in the hands oJ Attorney Klein, counsel, for McKenna. not later than tomorrow{ Tuesday1 morning.

DEMOCRATS
 TRIUMPH AT
 WASHINGTON
Governor Harmon and W. J. Bryan Among Those on Hand for Opening of
 Extra Session.
Program of Important Leg islation Mapped Out by
 House Leaders
Especial from United Press.)

Washington, April 3-The Democrat ic party is, today, being groomed for its greatest race-the White House Handicap.
 A triumphant Democratic majority in the House, today, is filling it's lungs for the shout of joy which will be let loose, tomorrow, when one of it's number takes the speakers chair and the Republicans become the minority Upon the record which the Democrats in the House make between now and November, 1912. the leaders believe de- pends the result of the White House race. They are going to work in des- perate earnest from now on.
 William Jennings Bryan, is here, to- day, and will be present tomorrow, at the first triumph. Governor Judson Harmon, of Ohio. potential candf- date for President, also is on hand. Champ Clark. who confeSseS he would not mind being considered as nominee speakers chair.
 In prepara tion for November 1912, the Democratic House expects to car ry out the following program of leg islation. Canadian reciprocity; re- apportionment of Representatives in the 18th census so as to insure no losses in the Democratic Congress men; revise the Payne-Aldrich tariff schedule by schedule; conduct a pro- gram of economy and retrenchment in governmental administration; investi- gate the Department of Justice for it's alleged non-activity in trust prose cutions-particularly against the steel combine; investigate the Post Office Department in connection with the DIo a%vnx and the Interior Department as an aftermath of the 'a'linger-Pfnchot conservation controversy.
 There will be some sort of inquiry into the influence which Wall street is asserted to exert in shaping govern ment policies.
 washington. April 3-The vanguard Of what promises to be the biggest group of tariff lobbyists ever in at- tendance on Congress. arrived, today for the opening of the special session, tomorrow.
 Though the Democratic idea is for schedule by schedule revision, with the inference that only Legislative workers for certain schedules would be plying their trade. it developed. to- day, that there will be more agents at work than during the session to frame the Payne bill.
 Primarily, the lobbyists are working to secure hearings before the Ways and Means committee. Chairman Un- derwood has announced that the wool schedule will be taken up first. It is believed that cotton. steel and sugar schedules will be taken up soon.
 Schedule K,'' as the wool section is called, aroused more objection from progressives during it's passage as a part of the Payne bill than any other schedule. The rates have been pro- nounced "indefensible" by President Taft. A bitter fight is certain.
