 Tt is the same old way of doing things, three and four times ove~ again, its the past history Of PrfdSe- port that most everything has beer practically planned for the arfus1 needs of the immediate present with no thought of the future fvfft ths sx- ception of the broad and conprehsn- sive sewer system planned by Enx5- neer Scofield), and the fo1Iowfnx Of this out of date method of doing things is just what Is being done t1- day at a serious cost. to the faxpaV- CTS.

ALCOHOL MUST NOT BE SOLD
 UPON SUNDAY
Judge Foster Interprets Excise Law-Druggists Found Guilty But Judgment Suspended

s'Alcohol must not be sold on Sun day. That point should be understood by the druggists of Bridgeport and of the state as well," declared Judge Carl Foster in the city court this morning, in passing upon the cases of Charles E. Keith and Frank J. Sche- wick, two local druggists arrested sev- eral weeks ago for selling alcohol on Sunday. The arrests were made upon evidence obtained by agents of the state pharmaceutical society.
 At the Sames- tire Judge Foster found that there was little or no evil dence to show that the alcohol was sold in wilful violation of the Sunday law and in view of it's being the first offence in both cases, he suspended judgment
 The cases were unique in their way, being the first to come up before the city court here in which the accusa- tion was not that of selling liquor. but grain alcohol Judge Foster took the. case under advisement and stud jed the law on the question. He found hibits the sale of alcohol on Sunday.
 The liquor prosecuting authorities recently came face to face with ques- tion of alcohol selling. Since the Sunday laws against liquor selling have been strictly. enforced, growing custom has arisen among certain ele- ments in the community, of buying crude alcohol and mixing 1t with var ious syrups, thus making "cordials" for Sunday consumption.

JUDGE AND JURY DENOUNCED BY
 DENVER PULPIT
Episcopal Dean Brands Patter son Verdict Disgrace to Country and Says He Ex- poets to be Murdered
Especial from United Press.)

Denver, Dec. Mot in recent Col orado history has a verdict aroused such a storm of criticism as that heard. today, following the finding of the jury in the case of Gertrude Gib- son Patterson, who was acquitted.
 This is the result of yesterday s Thanksgiving services in the auditor ium which were converted into a meeting denunciatOry of the Patterson case by Rev. H. Martyr Hart, dean of the Episcopal Cathedral.
 He reused the audience to enthus- iasm when he shouted: "I am asham- jury and I would be ashamed of my ed of the judge, I am ashamed of the self unless I cried out against this travesty on righteousness. I am ashamed of the people who applaud ed this verdict. I ask you to stand up and say that this thing shall stop. It is disgrace to the country. I find there are more murders in Denver than in London and I expect to be murdered myself some day"
 Governor Shaffroth, Prosecutor Ben- son and a score of other prominent men and clubwomen, all issued state ments denouncing the jury's action as urwarranted and based wholly on sentiment.
 Mrs. Patterson wants to forget the name of Patterson. She will ask the courts to grant her permission to take back her maiden name of Gibson.
 Simultaneously, her attorney. Judge Hilton, announced that his client would not run away from the criticism lev elled at her and that she will remain in Denver.

FAIRFIELD SHOULD PAY FOR USE OF DEWEY ST.
 SEWER UNDER A LEASE
Hon. Zalmon GoodselI Ampfes Objections to Modified Herring Plan for New Trunk Sewers-Work Will
 Have to Be Done Over Again

Hon. Zalmon Goodsell today, in an interview with a representative of the Farmer, stated the conditions that he believed should be insisted upon as a condition of letting Fairfield property owners use the Dewey street sewer. He also amplifed, briefly his objec- tions to the Dewey street sewer as planned under the modified Herring system. MT. Goodselrs views are tersely stated in convincing argument. They follow:
 Tn your communication to the Mayor, do you mean to directly op- pose the residents of Fairfield in the Brooklawn district from making sew CT connections with the Dewey street trunk sewer, after the same has been built?
 'I never had such thought in my mind, and have no desire or wish to debar the residents in the Brooklawn section from the use of this trunk sewer, if the conditions are arranged between these residents and the City of Bridgeport in businesslike man ner. My judgment is, that some form of g. lease should be arranged be- tween these residents and the City of Bridgeport, say for a term of five years, with the privilege of renewal for an additional five years at req sOnable yearly rental for the use and privilege of tapping into said trunk sewer, until such time as this Brook lawn section may become a part of Bridgeport, or until such time as this trunk sewer should be congested by the City's regular residents in this northwest section of the city, or un- til such time, giving ample notice, the Town of Fairfield will build trunk sewer of their own to accommodate the residents livving in this part of their township.
 Since a thirty inch sewer has been ordered to be built at the present time to take care of this section, will you state in a condensed form your objections to leaving the matter where it is?
 the Scofield sewer system, which up to the present time has been ample and certainly will be for. sewering for a great many years to come. My next objection, allowing that the present thirty inch sewer will temporarily furnish adequate sewer service for the next few years through this section, l., that ax ter few years, this thirty inch. sewer will not be adeouate to sewer the outlying section of this northwest territory Some three miles distant from Rooster River, consequently my contention is, that the present Dewey street sewer, instead of being reduced 2-3 in size from it's present capacity, should be continued it's present full size, 40x60. to Rooster River, from which point.

But for their timely discovery by Baker Krouse, a resident of the same house, they would both have been asphyxiat- ed
 MT. Krouse smelled the gas and in- vestigated, discovering that it came from Mrs. Thiebeauth's apartment. He broke in the door and discovered Mrs. Thiebauth and her son Jack uncon- scious. He threw up the windows and gave first aid" treatment, then sum- moned the ambulance corps.
 Dr. McQueeney responded with the ambulance and stimulants were ad> to Mrs. Thiebeauth and her son and they were brought out of the effects of the gas. Mrs. Thiebeauth is a widow and has three children. The other two were not harmed by the gas.

WAR BETWEEN GERMANY AND ENGLAND SAID TO
 BE INEVITABLE NOW
Editor Harden, Who Stands Next to the Kaiser as Authority in German Affairs, Declares That He Does Not See How Conflict Between the Two Powers Can be Avoided

"I have it from many high sources that England wanted war with Ger many. late in the summer, that it was considered 8 favorable opportunity. Why the entente powers held back is, of course, not known Many little diplomats were waiting for Russia to become capable of striking.
 When Russia again becomes a power, there will be a sudden change in European politics. Will Germany not only wait and allow it's enemies to become greater but also permit them to set the time that it shall be reckoned with?
 "I am not one of those who believe -Anglo-German conflict desirable or necessarily inevitable because it must come' Nor do I want you to under stand that the fault is all Germanys s, but much of it is due to German dip lomatic laundering.
 1T stand for an understanding with England. The first step would be an agreement on the naval question. The present insane rivalry leads to noth- ing but bitterness. We. say we build warships to protect our foreign com merce. Does that deceive anyone? buildingf Not while Germany con- tinues building. It is question of life and death for England.
 'The Kaiser had two ideas-frstly, that in war with England, the mil lions of Mohammedans whose friend. and protector he proclaimed himself, would rally to Germany's support, and secondly, that the United States would help Germany. The Moroccan agree ment and the occupation of Tripoli by Italy, Germany's ally, answer the first. The second is too absurd to be con- sistable. I always ridiculed the idea. that England would help Japan in a war with the United States. It was merely diplomatic paying. When the situa ton became seriouS-lo, England modif1es it's desires.
 "Analyze the German goverinment and you find that it consists of a few men leading back to one me n. T stand for parliamentary government simi- lar to England's, where the ministry retires when the people have lost con- fidence in it.
 And how will this change come, you ask. History does not show that 1t usually. comes voluntarily from above. It is the duty of people to make. itself heard when its business is mismanaged.
 'And what of Socialism, in Ger many? I find it has grown sterile No one will dispute that it has accom- pEshed much good for the working classes but it is too doctrinal and dog matic. The Socialist ideas on dis armament and anti-militar are utopian. There are some things in a nations international affairs which cannot with honor be submitted to ar bitratiOn which the nations I hope are bound to accept

FOREIGNER MAY BE SUCCESSOR
 TO POPE PLUS

Rome, Dec. Has Pope Plus, by his appointments to the Cardinalate, ere ated a situation which may result i'll a foreigner being selected as his suc- cessor?
 This question is engrossing Italian circles The Sacred College is now composed of B Italians and 31 foreign ers Tn addition, the Pope has created another Cardinal "Im Pector' and there is considerable secrecy as to his nationality. It is believed probable that the name of the secretly-created Prince will not be known until after the death of Pope Plus. If he is a foreigner, as many believe, the Ital- ians will have a majority of but one in the Sacred College.
 The greatest danger that the Italian Cardinalate sees in the possible selec- ton of a foreigner for Pointiff is that new Pope. would end the quarrel with the quirinal by fully renouncing the churchs claims to temporal sov- ereignty
 The Italian Cardinals believe that the next Pontiff must restore the churchs temporal power if 1t is ever restored.
 The majority of Italian Cardinals are confident that, if a diplomatic Pontiff is selected, like Leo XIII. the church. through his efforts, will regain from Italy, at least, a small temporal kingdom that will again permit the Holy Father to take rank with the temporal sovereigns of the world.
 It seems probable that the Italian Cardinalate will be unable to agree on one of their number when the question of a successor to Pope Plus is consid- cred. Even the danger of a foreign Pope being elected is not expected to harmoniZe them.
 Those in Rome who profess to see no danger in the creation of so many foreign Cardinals, point out that it would be equally impossible for the foreigners to agree. They insist that the German Cardinals would not SUD- port a Frenchman, and that the Aus trians would oppose a Spaniard. As a consequence, the more conservative Catholics say it would be impossible for any Cardinal, other than an Ital- ian, to be elected to the Papacy.
 Of the 260 Popes that have ruled the Roman Church, 80 have been for eigners.

Split Reported
 In Tariff Board
 On Wool Report
President Closeted with Emery and Sanders of Commission to Get Mater ial for His Special Mes sage.
Especial from United Press ]

(OpCClcsl 1TOIn PreSS.
 Washington, Dec. 1.-FoIlOwing re- ports of a split in the tariff board on the wool report, President Taft, to- day.. called in Henry c. Emery and Alvin H. Sanders, two members of the board and postponed the cabinet meeting in order to confer with them
 It was believed that the President insisted on their giving him such in forma ton as they had on hand, and that, from this, he would immediate ly begin the preparation of his special wool messages without waiting for the boards report.
 It was considered significant that James B. Reynolds, a prominent and active member of the board, was not present. The other two members, Will Howard and Thomas Page, took their places comparatively recently and the main work has been done by Emery, Sanders and Reynolds
 It is believed that Reynolds stands out for a protective tariff and that Fine and Sanders. are inclined to- ward a tariff flor revenue only" along the lines of the Democratic measure vetoed by Taft, last sum mer. From today's developments, it was predicted that Taft would pro- pose a big reduction in the wool tariff and would try to strike a balance be- tween the .protectionists and the Democrats.
 The President arranged to take the matter before the Cabinet, this after noon and that the situation was Ser ious was not questioned. Emery and Sanders took bundles of documents to the White House and were closeted with the President for hours.
 The determination of the House Democratic leaders to pay little, if any, attention, to the reports, became apparent, today. when Representative Underwood, (Dem., Ala.), chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, announced his intention of calling his committee together imm ediately after Congress convenes.
 The President will be given a req sonable time in which to submit the reports of the tariff board,' said Un- derwood, today, "and if they are not in, then we will proceed to make our own investigations'

 (Copyright, 1911, by United Press As
 sociations.)
 Berlin, Dec. 1-Unless there is a complete right about face" in the methods and policies of the men in control of Germany's foreign affairs, war between Germany and England is inevitable. in the opinion of Editor Maximillian Harden, of the ''zukunft", or Future, and Editor Harden does not believe there will be a right about face.'
 Aside from the Kaiser, Harden is probably the best known man in Ger many. He was close friend of Bis mark in the "Iron Chancellor's" later days, won fame by breaking up the notorious Round Table" camarilla,, in which Counts and Princes were prom inent, and yields a pen feared and respected as is that of no other pulp 1icist in the Fatheriand.
 "The Moroccan affair." he said, in an interview given especially to the United Press, "has intensified Anglo German bitterness. Germans feel . deep in their hearts that England has prevented Germany from being more successful in the negotiations. This affair was wholly unnecessary. Could German diplomats think that England would permit Germany to get a foot hold on the wests coast of Morroco? It was not to be thought of And it was not necessary to Germany's na- tional life. It was the crowning blum der Of a decade of German diplomatic b;unders, except worse than the pre- ceding one.
 How could 1t be otherwise, with men, however estimab1e, personally, who have not the diplomatic character to direct the empires international af- fairs or to rise to a situation. Ger many's international position today is worse than in neny years. This is due to the fncapacity of the men at the head of the government and the unskil,ed hands of those who direct its foreign policy, to their lack of foresight and form of government. The Reichstag is merely an ornament. Under 1t is no responsible ministry. It makes the people pay for errors they did not commit, bear the brunt of errors made by others. For 10 years German diplomacy has acted too much on the theory that the other man is a stupid fellow. That is an absurd basis on which to deal.
 "War with England is unavoidable shall say inevitable-unless there is a quickly completed face about in the methods and policies of the men who direct German, foreign affairs. It could be averted but I doubt if it will be. There seems to be a feeling on both sides that it must come.

WHEN WILL MAYOR RESIGN
 CORONER JOB? NOrwalk Hour Prints Story of Interview Which Says
 No Resignation Is
 Coming Mayor Wilson Denies that Such Conversation Took Place-Judges Said to Be Expecting Fulflment of Promise.

Politics has it's great and it's small questions. The gossip of the polite ians turns mainly on who'll get the job, but there is time in between for minor matters. When is Mayor Will son going to resign his job as coro- ner?" This is a question often asked, and as often answered. Everybody has an answer, but Mayor Wilson. He knows but he doesn't seem inclined to tell.
 Before he was nominated for the office which he holds, Mayer Wilson issued public statement in which he said:
 'If am elected Mayor I will resign as coroner"
 There is no doubt about the promise. but-When.
 As far away as Norwalk the politic- ians are agitated. The Norwelk Hour, Wednesday, printed a story of ~an al- legged conversation between Medical Examiner Huntington of that city, and Mayor Wilson.
 In this publication Medical Examiner Huntington appears as saying that Mayor Wilson told him he had no in tent1on of resigning as coroner.
 The story was called to the atten- tion of the Mayor. this morning. The Mayor said:
 'I did not make a statement that had no intention of resigning''
 It has been said that Mayor Wilson was waiting for States Attorney Jud- son to make up his mind whom he will recommend for coroner before writing his resignation.
 It is understood at present that this reason for delay does not now exist. The judges are said to be waiting for Mayor Wilson's resignation, and even expecting 1t. Once it is forthcoming there will be no delay upon the part of MT. Judson in naming the Mayors S successor to the office .,s
 The burning question continues to be askea, ."Whe1i will Mayor. Wilson keen his promise and resign 2"
