their weekly wage to his brother. and
 we cannot condemn those acts in too
 plain and forcible terms It is cer-
 tainly unbecorning in any officer who holds responsible position, and who has charge of men, to use any infIu- ence by virtue of his superior rank and power, to induce any man to either loan or give up some Of his money. It is not only unbeeoming, but it also tends to seriously affect the discipline of the office force and thereby lessens the efficiency of the men hired to perform important and exacting work. It has been proven that the engineer borrowed certain sums from one of his employees in a summary manner, and also induced
 weekly sum to his brother and there by disclosed circumstances that should not exist in public office. The committee does not consider that any department head has 2 right to- draw up any check payable to the employees of said department, in such manner as to control the circulation of same, as was proven to have been done in a few instances in the city engineers department.
 The committee considers that some method or system should be adopted whereby money appropriated for special purposes could not be other wise applied.
 The committee considers that this department should be given special attention in the installation of an audit system, for 1t is a busy depart ment and its affairs should be so sys- tema tized as to prevent the incumbent from exceeding any appropriation and that the best results may be realized from the money expended.
 Pursuant to the duty cast upon us
 and acting by virtue of the commu-
 ntcation which empowered us to con-
 duct the investigation and which
 makes 1t our duty to submit this re-
 port to your honorable body, we find
 that, in the particulars stated, where
 in the engineer has been found re-
 miss in his duty, that said office has
 not been conducted in a manner that
 is required of an office of such re-
 sponsibility and importance.
 Respectfully submitted this 7th day
 of August, 1911.

MAYOR FISHER ANAL YSES
 VOTE ON COMPENSATION BILL


For the scientific student of politics the Tuesday vote on the compensation bill has great in- terest. Attention has already been called to the fact that the votes of the Republicans wee almost solidly cast against the bill, 106 against and only g for; but even greater interest may be found in another analysis of the vote.
 The official journal is evident ly incorrect as printed, crediting two members with voting on both sides; but the probably correct vote was AZ for the bill and 143 against. And this vote, almost exactly three to one against, cer- tainly looks like an emphatic re- pudiation of the measure. And so it is. according to the present rules of the game. But an an- alysis of the vote, according to the populations of the various towns, show that, as represented by their members, an overwh elm ing majority of the people of the state were for the bill. That is, the affirmative vote came, for the most part, from the populous industrial centres, while the neg ative came, for the most part, from the small rural towns.
 I have made an examination and find that the 143 negative votes were cast by the represen- tatives of 2s7,6S1 people, while the affirmative votes were given by the representatives of more than twice as many, 5s3,644. In making the computa tions have taken account only of such mem bers as were actually present and voted. If the vote of a town with two members was split, half the population was credited to each side. If only one member voted, half the population of the town was counted.
 The weight by counties is in- teresting:-Fairfie 192,SS3 for and 23,6435 against; New Haven
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1911-08-08

170,373 for and 45,331 against; Hartford, 13O,583 for and 9O,172 against; New London, 31,631 for and 29, 1905 against; Holland 10,772.5 for and 7,4S4 against; Litchfield, 27,365.5 for and 34,- 627 against: Middlesex, 10,374.5 for and 2s,456 against; Windham, 9,661.5 for and 2S,1s7 against.
 The alignment of towns is much more instructive; but a full statement would take too much of your space. Bridgeport, with a population of 1O2,O54, Hartford with 9s,915, Waterbury with 73,- Al, Norwich with 2S,219, Nor walk with 24,211, and Danbury with 23,502, each cast two votes for the bill; and these twelve votes from 650,042 people were neutralized by the same number of negative votes from Canterbury with S6S population, Barkham- sted with 865, Lyme with 746, Ashford with e6S, Colebrook with 557, and Union with 322, total of 4,O26.
 Towns of less than 1000 popu- lation cast 2 votes for the bill and 33 against. On the other hand towns of more than 10,0 cast 25 for the bill and against. The towns of more than 10000 voting were aligned as follows:- one vote each from New Britain, Middletown, New London, and Ansonia, and two each from Bris- tol and Wallingford, against the bill; while one vote each from New Haven, New Britain, Stam- ford. Middletown, Ansonia, Wind ham, and Orange and two each from Bridgeport, Hartford, Wa terbury, Norwich, Norwalk, Dan bury, Torrington, Greenwich, and Naugatuck for the bill. On an average the AT members voting Yea each represented 12,417 peo- pie, while the 143 voting Nay each represented 2,012.

Shipping Strike Causes England
 Serious Trouble
Special from United Press.)

London, Aug. B. With the freight of her two biggest shipping ports, England is in the grip of a strike that is daily becoming 2 serious to all of Great Britain. Tn Liverpool the docks are piled high with freight and the railway freight handlers are on strike.
 In London there was almost s 1ex- plete cessation of work, today, on rns miles of docks and w.harves. About 1s0 ships are waiting to be loaded or unloaded.
 Q The dock workers again, today, re- fused to return to work until the strike of the teamsters, of whom some 35,000 are out, also is settled.
 Apprehensive of resentment by the strikers to the employment of soldiers in connection with the movement or supplies for the army, police reserves are continually on duty.
 A conference was held. this after noon, between a committee Of shipping various unions.

ORDER OF SCOTTISH CLANS.
Royal Clan Convention Meets on the Fifteenth-Royal Deputy John Japp a Candidate for Royal
 Secretary.

The biennial Convention of the Royal Clan, Order of Scottish Clans will open in Boston Tuesday August 18th to last for four days. Speaking to a prominent Clansman the other day we learned that this one is likely to be memorable in various ways. He could not, he said, tell all the reasons why, but one of the most important was the opposition to the Royal Sec retary who has been in the executive office of the order for twenty-four years.
 The feeling seems to be wide spread that the order not only wants a change but needs one. The present incumbent, according to our infor- lnant, has made himself most unpop- ular by his autocratic and overbear- ing manner and the members at large are looking forward for his undoing
 The candidacy of Royal Deputy John Japp of this city has been received with great enthusiasm all over the country and his election is not taking an active part in the cam paign but he has several very much alive friends who are boosting things for him. One of the highest and most respected officials of the order so writes of his candidacy: Whatever the result may be. with man of his (Mr. Japp's) ability, and possessing all the other necessary qualifications of training, modern methods, activity and ambition, we certainly have a candidate creditable in everey respect and one we feel sure would fill the office most satisfactorily MT. Japp was three years chief of Clan Campbell No. 24, has been three times elected delegate to the Royal Clan Convention and is serving out his sec ond term (of two years each) as Dep uty Royal Chief of Connecticut. He candidate .creditable in every respect ed in Bridgeport, outside of Scottish or Clan matters. He carries with him to the convention, the best wish state for a crowning success to his painstaking and conscientious labors on behalf of his countrymen.

YACHTMANS DAY GIVEN UP The joint committee of local yacht clubs which was appointed to arrange for a big combined regatta in the fall, has given up the plan after careful consideration. The committee met last night and voted to drop the at tempt. The lateness of the season and the probability that many mem- bers will be obliged to work Saturday afternoons was the reason for giving up the regatta plan.
