The New York Journal of Commerce is not pleased with certain provisions of the Aldrich plan of currency revis- ion. It says:
 There i is much to question in this plan. so far as the provision for cir- culating notes is concerned If re- placing all the bond-secured notes of the national banks with notes of one central institution. disguised under the name of Reserve Association, and the gradual diminution and pos
 sible elimination of the bond secur- ity is desirable, the process provided
 for has some doubtful features and
 it is hard to judge how effective the
 process would be. To fix as the
 limit of circulation not subject to a
 heavy tax the volume of outstanding bond-secured notes of the national
 hanks is certainly not advisable. The disposal of the bonds used as security. with view to converting them from
 that use. is of uncertain operation and effect. Government notes, or green
 backs, are retained as lawful money and may constitute part of the secur- ity for the bank notes, Provision ought to be made for dispensing with these by paying them off in gold,
 which with subsidiary silver coin. should alone be lawful money" in thIs country. Careful study of this cur rency part of the plan is not con- vfncing of its merit.

JURY DISCHARGED
 AFTER NINE HOURS IN CHAPLAIN CATTLE CASE

New. Haven. Jan. 26-Waiting for nine heurs for the jury to report in the case of Harry Caplan,' the Wall lingford man, charged with the theft of cattle. court officials were forced to remain in the county court build ing last night until shoftly before Il o'clock. when the twelve men, still failing to agree, were finally dis charged and the term ended. Samuel Hegal. who after being arrested with Caplan. turned States evidence was sentenced to six months in the coun- ty jail by Judge Bennett. Harry Cap Ian will probably be tried again at the next session of the criminal court here.
 A bench warrant for the arrest of Carl Potaschnik, who, the State claims, committed perjury wh,le testifying in this case. was issued last night by Judge Bennett. Potaschnik who testi- fled in connection with the attempt of Attorney Goedhaft to prove an alibi for Caplan. claimed to have been in Bridgeport at a certain hour. The State showed by photographs of the pages of a bank journal that Potas- ehnik had been there before that time. Officers are now looking for Potas- chnik

STATE TAX DISCUSSED.
Journal mi .-ouriar.l j

It is obvious that aomething has drawn attention of the mayor If Bridgeport to the burden that the state tax imposes upon his commun- ity. It would not be objected to un- less it was considered burden. To that extent we may be sure it does possess an educational value. The trouble is that the mayor of Bridge port, and his enthusiastic supporters, are unwilling, or indisposed, to ana lyze their resentment with sufficient patience, They are content to con- sider the burden imposed only so far as a way is offered to unload it on somebody else This way is that op- en ened by taxing the public service they have not thought of the pos sible extravagances that led to. the re- imposition of the state tax. They are evidently content to have them continue provided their cost is met by some other way than by q tax on posal that the matter of possible leg lslattve extravaganza be ignored and the whole annoyance dispoeed of by adding to the taxation already im- posed upon the corporations.
 The contention of those like our selves, who have faith in the power of the state tax to stimulate the rep resentatives of the people in the gem eral assembly to watch closely legiS- lative appropriations. is that the bur den imposed by extravagant expendi- lures can best be brought home by making those feel it who have to pay the bills. The action of the mayor of Bridgeport in moving to have the state tax suspended is the best possible proof ebtainable that the citizens of that city are feeling the burden of possible extravagant expenditures. Would 1t not there fore be better for the citizens of that town to utilize the state tax as a les son in the necessity of watching closely each proposed public appro- priation through the eyes of their representative and senators, than to close their own eyes to legislative ex- travagances by unloading the burden on to the corporations that are a1- ready the. great taxpayers of the com monwealth?
 So long as Bridgeport acknowl- edges, as it does, that the state tax is g. burden upon it's citizens, just so long will consideration of the prob lem, as turning upon the neatest way of evading it's exactions, be futile. If there is a limit, to which the mayor of Bridgeport confesses unconsciously to the ability of his fellow citizens to bear burdens of taxation, there is also q limit to the ability of the corpora- tions to bear them. When that linn sought in more efficient and econom- ical government, not in tax dodging It is our suggestion that that solu- ton be sought now, and We can all thank the state tax for giving life to the discussion

TAFT HURLED INTO LORIMER
 CONTROVERSY

Washington, Jan. 26.-President Taft was drawn into the Lorimer con- troversy, yesterday, in speech de- liyered in the Senate by Paynter, mittee that investigated the charges that the election of the Illinois Sem ator was brought about through oor- rupt practices. Paynter supported Lorirner.
 Tt has been repeatedly stated in substance, in the newspapers,'' the Senator said in part, that the Pres ident was taking a hand in this case and was using personal if not official influence against Lorimer, What a horrible thought it is that the Presi- body subservient to his will on deter mining questions. How calamitous and humiliating it would be should he succeed.
 ''Think of the effect of such a be made on him. The Standard Oil Company and the American Tobacco Company'si cases are now pending in the Supreme Court. 1t. would be said to the President, yeu advised the Sen ate what to do with Mir, Lorimer and the American Tobacco Company are said to be great trusts, you should tell the Supreme Court what it's judgment should be in these cases.
 T protest that lt cannot be pos sible that the President has used his exalted position to the unworthy. and uniustifiable purpose of making the judgment of Senators subservient to his will.'
 Tn the consideration of the judi cial character of the question before us,'' he continued, If knew that every man, woman and child in Ken lucky were of the opinion that should vote to unseat MT. Lorimer, I would not do it. shall vote to sus- tain the representative of the major- ity committee"

Express Trains Between
 This City and Waterbury

Waterbury, Jan. 26.-As far as can Ina learned no announcement in re- gard to the express trains that are to run through Waterbury has been made since the one given out by Supt. Lake of the Western Division few nights ago. It is said now that the running of express trains through Waterbury and the Naugatuck Valley will probably have no effect on the trains now run between Boston and New York by way of Hartford, Mer- iden and New Haven. but that some of the local trains through the Nau- gatuok Valley will be discontinued is a possibility. This is the talk around the local station and it is also said that the new trains, of which there will doubtless be at least two, will probably stop at Ansonia for water, but not at any of the other stations between here and Bridgeport,

RAILROAD EARNINGS

of the New York, New Haven & Hart ford Railroad company have increas- ed at the rate of s15,oO0 a day since carly in December according to the report given credit in financial and railroad circles. The company is do- ing practically all the business 1t can handle adequately with it's present euiupment and under present cireuna- stances. Right here in New Haven the New Haven roads increase in both passenger, and freight traffic is very apparent, and the general opin- ion here is that if the company IS doing as much more business along its entire lines as it is here $l5,000 IS none too high an amount to place its in creased gross earnings at, t

RISK LIVES SAVING
 DROWNING PUPPIES

Hartford, Jan. 26.-Three hundred persons stood on the bridge over the Park River on Main street yesterday afternoon and watched George Will son, a Humane Society officer and William Semple, as they risked their lives to rescue two little dogs that had fallen into the river. =.
 After the crowd had collected to watch the dogs efforts to save them selves, some one telephoned to the Humane Society office. Wilson was sent out and took in the situation at a glance. He asked Semple if he would help him get the dogs out, warning him that it was risky work and that both might be drowned.
 Semple was willing and ebeying
