 Hartford, Sept. 1S-An. audacious scheme to make much richer few rich men at the expense of the state, has, thanks to Governor Simeon E. Baldwin been temporarily arrested and tomorrow the legislators of this commonwealth will have a chance to show whether they can be relied upon to be true to their oaths of office.
 The matter will come before both Houses on the veto of the Governor who in an / argument that permits of no answer has shown conclusive ly that the bill authorizing the Con- necticut River Co. to issue bonds to an amount of $5,OO0,OoO is a most vici- ous one
 It matters not that the majority in- terests contend that their rights are being jeopardized by a minority of the stock and that they are being pre- vented from developing a great wa ter power because a handful of stock holders are able to thwart their plans. The people of Connecticut care nothing about the clash. between the rival interests. Each side is protect ing itself as far as it can by the aid of a powerful lobby. The public does not care a fig about their internal fight. But it does care and: is inter

POLITICAL
 SERMON TO
 HURT MAYOR
This. is View of Latest Discus sion by Pastor Beard, Anent Sunday Baseball and Steeple- chase
Doctrine Very Soothing to Prominent Members of Flock,
 Who Didn't Want Hydraulic C0mpany's Whiskers Pulled

Rev. Gerald H. Beard, pastor of the Park Street Congregational Church renewed his attack on Steeplechase yesterday; from the text ssI also was standing and consenting.' The brunt of the attack was directed at Mayor Buckingham, because the Mayor had refused to interfere to prevent Sum- day baseball That was the interpre. tation placed upon the sermon by those who heard it. or read it. Mr. Beard enjoys, as members of his con- gregation, certain men exceedingly prominent in politics, but not exceedE ingly remarkable for their high polit- ical ideals
 It was remarked that on other oc- casions MT Boards political sermons have sma cked strongly of ideas en- tertained by this influential fragment of his flock, which is now anxious to get rid of Mayor Buckingham, as in a previous case it was opposed to the reelection of Morgan G. Bulkeley to be a United States Senator. Bulkeley was at least a business man, and owned himself, but his successor, who was helped by MT. Beards sermon, if anybody was, had been notorious lobbyist, and his successful campaign swept to his support the most inf1u- ential members of the lobbyist tribe. The -Bulkeley men have pretty nearly ruled the last General Assem- bly,, and have contributed opposition of the most reckless, dangerous, or criminal kind, to pretty nearly all legislation calculated to benefit the public
 So much for the facts in the posses sion of the public to which MT. Boards sermon is presented as asdoc- ument of state, deserving the atten- ton of serious minded men.
 The sermon consists of an indict-
 nent of dancing by girls, an indict- ment of the lottery, so-called. by which the Paul Boyton houseboat was raffled for the benefit of the hospitals, and the assertion that Sunday base ball and the opening of Steeplechase did not come in accordance with pub- lie demand. Y
 The real nub of the sermon, how ever, it's moral, and it's very obvious purpose are to induce citizens to vote against Mayor Buckingham in case he should run for Mayor again, a doctrine very pleasant to certain members of Mr. Boards congregation, who have been very bitter against the Mayor ever since he compelled the Bridgeport Hydraulic Company to let go of a. revenue of more than $12,000 annually and keep it's charter obliga- tion to supply Bridgeport with water free of charge.

the State than was.
 s.The bill did not provide for addi- tional trainmen on passenger trains, with which the public is most con- cerned. Had the trainmen sought to further safeguard the travelling public by asking that passenger trains be further equipped it would have been a different matter It was pointed out in the debate in the Senate on this bill that it contained no provis- ion whatsoever, with regard to pas senger trains, and this defect in my judgment had much to do with the refusal of the body to enact the bill into statutory law
 and were the matter before the Sen ate again would vote the same way regardless of any criticisms or any favor I might gain by voting in op- position to my convictions''

At a meeting of Henry A. Bishop lodge. B. R. T., last evening. resolu- lions were adopted criticising Senator McNeil.

He urged the strainmen not to forget their friends and be sure and watch out for a chance to punish by their ballots those legislators who were against them
 MT. O'Hearn denounced the railroad lobby and spoke of a Bridgeport man who is employed by that lobby as having done all in his power against the bill
 ator McNeil if he cared to make any statement of his vote on the full crew bill. Senator McNeil said he would be very glad to make a. statement in defense of his vote. He said:
