B00KERWASHINGTON HEARS FROM TAFT
 IS GOING SOUTH
Now Believed Man Charged with Simple Assault Oh
 Him May Never Be Tried
Especial from United Press.)

Especial from United Press.)
 New York, March 22-President Taft has written pr. Booker T. Washing ton a. personal letter expressing con- fdence in him and the hope that no harm shall come to his work as the result of the assault made on him by Henry A. Ulrich.
 At his apartments in the Hotel Man hattan, the noted negro educator said today that he has received more than 10000 letters and telegrams from per- sons in every section of the United States expressing their confidence in him.
 pr. Washington today proudly ex- hibited a letter penned by President Taft himself, which read as follows:
 My Dear Doctor Washington: I am greatly distressed at your misfortune and hasten to write you of my sym pathy. I hope that you will soon recover from the wounds inflicted by insane suspicion or viciousness. and desire to assure you of my confidence in you. in your integrity, temerity of character and of your highest useful ness to the American race as we'll as to all the people of the country.
 "It would be a national loss if this untoward incident in any way tn5ur- ed your great power to solve the rid de. one of the most difficult problems before us.
 'I want you to know that your friends are standing by you in every trial and that I am proud to sub scribe myself as one. (Signed) Will liam H. Taft
 With the case of Ulrich, charged with assaulting the noted educator, transferred to the court of special ses- sions for trial, there was a growing conviction today that the matter has been finally disposed of. The charge against Ulrich sinpl eaSSault, is only a misdemeanor. whereas the original charge was felony.
 Dr. Washington. on Sunday will go South for an indefinite period. He will return to appear against Ulrich, he said, if his lawyers think it ad- visable. but he made it plain he has no desire to go further with the mat ter. unless his lawyers insist
 Dr. Washington said today that he did not believe the incident would have any i'll effect on his work at Tus- kogee. He has received thousands of letters and telegrams from every sec tion of the country expressing sympa- thy and offering support. It is ex- pected that the trustees of Tuskogee will adopt the formal resolutions for confidence in the doctor.

FEDERAL TRUST
 COMPANY GETS
 CHARTER TIME
I Lakeview Cemetery Assoc" <"
 ton Authorized to Issue
 Bonds to Extent of $3O, ,00OI
Especial to The Farmer.O

Hartford, March 22.-A favorable report was received in the Senate to- day extending the time two years for the organization of the Federal Trust company of Bridgeport. The owners of the charter are interested in the lPequonnock National bank and it IS the intention to organize trust com .pany lin connection with the bank during the coming two years.
 The Senate in concurrence with the House adopted a resolution authoriz- ling the Lakeview cemetery associa- stion to issue improvements bonds iO the extent of $30.000.
 The Senate rejected the report of the committee on legislative expenses designating II newspaper men at , compensation of S200 each. The orf- ginal report providing for six report CTS but was amended today to make the number II. Senator Judson made an Illuminating address in which he eaid he was totally opposed to gratui ties. His contention was that the Senate, by designating official report CTS would obviate a great many of the charges levelled at it for voting xratuities at the end of the session. He said he recognized the value of the proper and uninfluenced dissemi- nation of the doings of the General Assembly and if it was to be the policy of the Senate to recognize the value of this work in a substa ntial way, the time to indicate it was now and not at the end of the session.
 Senator Barnum opposed consider alton at this time. He said he be- 1feved that the newspaper men who were faithful in attendance. and con- scientious in their reports, were not beneficiaries of any gift in the event of the Senate's voting to remunerate them He believed they earned what ever sum would be voted to them. If the session was a short one, he did not know that he would favor voting for any compensation for them. If it was an extended one he cer- tainly would favor it.
 Barnum then moved to let the mat ter 20 to the foot of the calendar. The vote was IS to l 5. The lieuteu- ant governor broke the tie in favor of Senator Barnum's motion.

LABOR UNION
 SIDE OF CASE
Secretary Morrison Gets After Postmaster General for Intimidating Railway Mail Clerks.
Especial from United Press 1

Especial from United Press.)
 Washington, March 23.-Chal1eng- ing Postmaster General Hitchcock to prove his right to prevent railway mail clerks from joining a union and threatening to take the matter before Congress, Frank Morrison, secretary of the American Federation of Labor, today, set forth, the union side of the impending struggle in the following statement, written for the United Press:
 (By Frank Morrison.)
 have read the communication of second Assistant Postmaster General Stewart to Superintendent Grant, of the Railway Mail Service, which was transmitted to the district superinten- dents of the Railway Mail service, throughout the country. The com municatfon states that he (Stewart) desires that steps be taken at once to acquaint the clerks that an organ 1zation is inimical to the interests of the government, but he (Stewart) falls to give any reasons.
 He intimates that general organ ization would be in collision with their oath of office.
 'He says further, in substance, that when a clerk takes his oath of office it is impossible for him to join g un- ion that would not interfere with his work as a railway postal clerk.
 s"These two statements are prepos- terous There is nothing in the oath a clerk takes to prevent him from joining union for his selfimprove- ment.
 ''I challenge the Post Office de- partment to point out in the oath of office taken by the clerks, anything that prevents them from joining a union.
 ''The union obligation taken by the railway mail clerks Is not a secret ob- ligation. The union is not a secret organization. I am satisfied that the officers of the Post Office department are fully aware of this fact.
 ''Is the postmaster general endeav- bring to make this an entering wedge ence?
 '"The fact that the department has issued an order that the clerks should be persuaded not to join the union instead of ordered not to join, is ev- idence that the department had in mind that statute permitting wage workers to organize and they intend to get around the statutory provision by coercing the railway postal clerks into submission.
 "The wage workers of America do not easily submit to coercion. Gov ernment employees either have the right to organize or they have not. Postmaster General Hitchcock is fully aware of the fact that they have that right If 1t is now the endeavor of the department to take it from them by the most hateful form of int1rn1- dation is nothing short of tyranny.

HEART BALM FOR MISS

Jury in Suit for Breach of Promise Finds Against Edward Cannon, Com
 mercial Traveller
Girls Sad Story Convinced Triers that She Had Been Badly Treated by Whilom Fiance-Awarded $2,5OO.

Heart balm to the extent of $2,50O was allowed by a jury in the Civil Superior court this afternoon in the breach of promise suit of Marie Iver- son of New York against Edward Cannon of this city. Miss Iverson sued for s5,O0O. Cannon is a travel ing salesman, residing at 373 Arctic street. He was former proprietor of a pharmacy in East Main street, but disposed of the property last June. The case was given to the jury shortly after 12:3O o'clock. They returned with their verdict in less than an hour. It is probable that the case will not be appealed, as Attorney Israel Cohn, counsel for Cannon, did not make motion to the court that the verdict of the jury be set aside. Cannon some time ago was lodged in jail through his surrender by his bondsman, Henry B. Shannon, but later obtained other bondsmen. He has not any property in his name, though last June he dis posed of his drug store of which he was the sole proprietor

ADMINISTRATION
 AGAIN EXPLAINS
 WAR MANEUVERS
Declare Movement on Mexi- can Border to be in Class with Movements of Bat
 tleships Around World
Intended to Show Interest ed Nations that United States is Prepared for Anything that May Hap pen.
fspecial from United Press.)

Washington, March 22.-A martial demonstration in the interest of peace comparable with the world cruise of the battleship fleet This was the latest explanation of the Mexican situation made on be-
 half of the administration, today. The
 mobilization of troops along the Mex ttcan border, 1t was declared. was to prove preparedness on the part or the United States to cope with events which 1t was hoped would not tran spire for the very reason that Uncle Sam was ready for them.
 The world cruise of the battleship fleet was a notification to Japan that America had strength enough , to maintain peace. The 'maneuvers' along the Mexican border are sirli- lar notice to interested nations.
 The administration has never fig ured on any immediate exigency, It was said, except the protection of American property and lives, in case forced a decisive step. President tTaft has realized from the very start lof the "maneuvers" that Congression- fal sanction was necessary.
 It has already been pointed out that although remote, which might have developed if the United States had ignored the increasing friendship and threatened secret alliance between Japan and Mexico. Insofar as the martial demonstration on the border Japan and Mexico, that their nego- tiaions must cease, it was claimed. today, that if had, in part at least, accomplished its purpose and pre- vented the development of a situation which might have thrown the United l-4~ 1f tha int national tRngies in our history, as we'll as a long and costly war.
 The statements of high officials, carried in these despatches last week, predicted that the outcome of the situation would prove to be of in finftely greater importance than was at first indicated.
 The administration was compelled to maintain the attitude that the movement of troops was for the maintenance of the neutrality of the law" and "maneuvers.'' It was said, today, that this was in line with the stitch in time" policy of the admin istration. A friend of the President today, described the situation as fol- lows:
 take of his coat, allowing his six shooter to be exposed, roll up his sleeves, showing his muscles, take out his trusty blade-and then, after souaring his shoulders so as to at- tract attention, to sit down and whit tle-
 'The willy gentlemen for whom the stage was set were quick to apprec1- ate the purpose of the act. The ad- rninistration is unwilling to discuss what they did or ceased doing for Uncle Sam has not admitted that he observed anything. The fact remains that he is satisfied"
 This expla na tion now indicates that 1t was hoped the necessity would never arise for an official statement of the inside situation" This hope seemed. today. to have been realized.
 But Uncle Sam probab ply will keep on whittling all summer.
