MELTzER LEADS
FIGHT AGAINST
RAILROAD GRAB
Especial to The Farmero

Hartford, May 10-Representative
Joshua Meltzer Of Bridgeport was one
of the leaders today in the fight
against a bill favorably reported by
the railroad committee, giving all
railroads in the State Of Connecticut
the right to condemn land and take
possession Of it pending the arbitra-
ton Of the sale price.
The House jumped on the measure
from all sides and finally defeated
it by an overwhelming vote.
Rep. Meltzer was the first on his
feet and characterized the measure
as vicious He said that it gave the
railroads the possession which is nine
points of the law, and that the re-
naming point for the property owners
was a very small one indeed.
Other Representatives including
Thomas of Waterbury. and Peck OF
Stratford, opposed the bill and de-
clared it is an old friend Of the Gen.
eral Assembly and bad clear through.
Rep. Garde grew angry. He said
that it was easy for the ignorant
to be aroused by a clamor against
corporations. He seemed to intimate
that some of the members of the
House come within this ignorant
category. He said that in some cases,
corporations are right, and this is one
Of them, whereat the House jeered
lightly.
Rep. Garde sat down in highly bad
humor. The House first whacked the
bill with solid vote against 1t and
then moved reconsideration and voted
it down again, to kin it for good.

ed before the County Commissioners

the proposed transfer of Joseph Lip
sigs liquor license. Lpsig wants to
transfer from 1751s Main street to 2S7
Lexington avenue. which is on the
corner of Lexington and Jones ave-
nues. Spencer admitted that his fac
tory was about a block away from the
proposed location, but said he thought
there were enough saloons in the
neighborhood now He is opposed to
the liquor traffic on general principles
he said. A large number signed the
remonstrance against the transfer, but
Spencer was the only one to appear.
Those who appeared in favor of the
applicant were Robert r. Connors of
1879 Calhoun avenue, Thomas F. Rowe
of 1877 Calhoun avenue, and DR.. Henry
Cenicola. The latter owns the prop
erty which Linsig desires to occupy.
They testified that another saloon in

erty values. The commissioners re-
served decision.

Double Quartet Resolved eve
Are Socialist Party" and Their
Expulsion Followed

By the action of eight former men,
port, a peculiar situation has arisen
among local Socialists, which is CIV
ing rise to great deal more amuse-
ment than anxiety on the part of the
regular party members.
The eight men in question have de-
clared themselves to be the Socialist
party of Bridgeport, like the celebrat-
ed three tailors of Tooley street, Lon
don, who got together and resolved
that they were 1.-The People of Eng
land, in mass meeting assembled
Heading the list of the eight retir-
ed members is Benjamin J. Legere.
the we'll known local author, drama
fist and producer of plays.
Last night at the regular meeting
of Bridgeport Local No. 8, Socialist
party, it was voted to expel the eight
malcontents. The vote for expulsion
was 76 to one. The state secretary,
state executive and state central COM
mittees have been notified of the eX-
pulsion.
The eight expelled members on the
other hand have formally expelled
the rest of the due-paying party. and
have declared that they, the, faithful
eight now constitute the only true,
original and worthy Socialist party In
Bridgeport. They have elected Off
GERS and have adopted a resolution
which they are offering to the regu-
lar party members to sign.
BY the action at last nights meet-
ing of the regular party, not only
were the eight ringleaders expelled.
but it was also voted that any men,
Der signing the resolution of the mall
contents should likewise be expelled.
The situation is the elimination Of
a long period Of dissatisfaction on the
part of the eight men in question
whose peculiar views regarding what
constitutes the proper conduct of the
Socialist party were consistently and
rejected by the other
members OF the local.
The direct cause Of the breach was
the adoption Of a new constitution at
a recent meeting of the Bridgeport
local of the Socialist party. The eight
retired members claim that the action
was illegal, and are supporting the
old constitution. On this they base
their claim that they are really the
Socialist party, and that all the other
members are now outside the ranks.
The question as to who really con-
stitute the Socialist party of Bridge
port-the eight men In question or the
remaining 100 party membership be
settled at the meeting Of the State
Central Committee in June. The
faithful eight entertain high hopes Of
having the other 100 declared expell-

FALL OF JUAREZ
COMPLETED AFTER
FIERCEST FIGHTING
fContiued from Page II

All morning bullets continued to
fly over Ell Paso and the death of
one person and the woundfng of sew
eral on the American side of the river
had been reported UP to 10 a. m.
Nimon Dominique was shot through
the heart by a stray bullet and killed
while standing in a downtown street.
So far as known, however, no United
States soldiers were in it.
Fires which started in Juarez, last
night, ragged with undated fury, to-
day. Neither Federals nor insurgents
made much effort to extinguish them,
being kept too busy lighting. The
famous Juarez bull ring, which was
defended by the Federals until the
last moment caught fire, today, and
was entirely destroyed. The flames
also caught the Federal barracks but
were extinguiShed.
Three hundred insurgent reinforce
ments reached Bauche last night,
late, and detrained there. Madero
ordered them to Juarez Immediately.
Tia Juana, Mex, May 10.-Despite
a report that q Mexican force was
advancing from Ensenada to recap
ture Tia Juana from the insurgents
attack is expected by the garrison.
Two hundred and eighty soldiers
comprise the present garrison. This
is believed sufficient to defend the
town against any force the Feoefals
can must.
The full death list of yesterdays
short engagement will probably new
er be known. Nine insurgent dead
were brought in, today, and eleven
wounded were brought across the
border but 1t is believed there are
more insurgent dead in the hills. The
Federal dead cannot be ascertained
although the insurgent commander
general. Sam Price, estimates it a.
IS.
Many of the former garrison of Tia
Juana have surrendered to the Ameri-
can troops near San Diego. Other
Federals have scattered to the hills.
washington, May 10.-Fears that
the United States might be forced in
to Intervention in Mexico by pressure
from abroad have been al1ayed for
the present by assurances given Pres
ident Taft. Diplomatic representa-
ti4 es of Great Britain, France, Ger
many, Italy and Spain, the nations
most interested, have let it be known
that their governments do not con-
template any move In this direction.
They are content for the present
with making their communications
with Diaz.
