I. N. Bunting, Dead, Editor
Grand Junction Sentinel
~ III


Isaac N. Bunting, fer q years
owner and editor of the Grand
Junction Sendnel, dropped dead
on Monday evening this week
while delivering the eulogiste ad.
dress before the Elks lodge at
thcir annual memorial service in
thar city
A large audience was present
and on the platform with the
principal speaker of the evening,
Mr. Bunting, were numbers OF
leading Elks. The speaker was
eulogizing the deceased members
OF the order and laid particular
stress upon the passing away of
that pioneer railroad man and Elk
John O'Boyle, who died recently.
Zone by one these noble pioneers,
these men who blazed the trails
and suffered the hardships that
civilization might be spread. are
crossing silently over the river OF
death, and we know not the hour
or the moment when the fatal
summons will come to US. In John
O'Boyle, there was man" and
the speakers voice failed. He
lurched forward as if to grasp his
chair and sank to the floor, dead.
Members sprang forward and doc
tors rushed to his aid but their
services were of no avail.
Thus the memorial service was
turned into truly lodge of sor-
row.
Mr.. Bunting was one of the best
known newspaper men in this
state. and it was his privilege to be
one of the builders of Grand juno
ton and the Western Slope.

 THIS EVENING
Council Will Hear Execu- tive's Recommendations for Improvement of the
 City

Mayor Buckingham will give his second annual message to the Common Council this evening. In it he will deal with the progress made during his administration and will recommend to the council the adoption of many ideas tending to the general benefit and advancement of the city
 The extension of the trolley line through South avenue is again to come up. This time the proposition is for line from South Main street through South avenue, direct to its end. It is intimated that this route will meet with strenuous opposition even by those who opposed the Allan tic street route. Those who do favor South avenue, desire the line to ex- tend from South Park avenue.
 The commiteee on ways and means will submit a report in regards to the bills incurred in the Investigation of the city engineers office
 To the committee on claims will be referred a number Of petitions of first district tax payers asking for an abatement of three mills on their taxes, and the forty or more petitions for the abatement of the personal tax.
 The public hearing on the construc- tion of the Glenwood avenue sewer will bring many residents of Lindley street and whereabouts to the meeting. Some residents object to the sewer emptying into the Berkshire pond. The street is much in need of the sewer, which can empty only into Berkshire Pond. With the hearing, it is believed all opposition will die down.

Pretty Sisters Pleas Fail to Save Peeper
 From Sentence to Jail

Despite the appeals of his pretty sis ter, who lives in Hartford, Charles Jensen, a bakers helper boarding at 1924 State street, was sentenced to jail for three months and fined $1 and costs, in the city court today, on a technical charge of breach of the peace, arising from his attempt to peep through the windows of Thomas B. McAvoy, State and Norman streets, Thursday night.
 Jensen, clean cut looking lad of 1T. was caught after a sensational chase by McAvoy, who was clad in his neightgown. McAvoy's daughters dis covered the peeper, and the irate fla ther struck him on the head with a stick twice, reaching through a win dow, then he darted out after the youth.
 He had a previous good record, but Judge Foster maintained that pry- ing into the sacred privacy of the home was an offence of such gravity as to demand severe punishment. An appeal was entered but the boy had no way of furnishing the $500 ball. and he went to jail.

Buckingham Is To Preside Al Memorial
 Foresters Sunday
Elaborate Plans Made for Commemoration of De-
 parted Members
Both the Foresters of Amer ica and the Companions of the Forest Will Be Represented.

With Mayor E. T. Buckingham pre- siding, and a most complete program embodying a number of well known artists, the memorial services of the Foresters of America and the Com panions of the Forest, the first union services of the sort in this city in more than decade, will be held at Polls theatre next Sunday evening, June II, at 8 o'clock. The Wheeler & Wilson orchestra will play an appro- prlate sacred concert, and several vO- cal solos and quartets will be ren- dered.
 Members of the Foresters and their friends await with keen interest the eulogy scheduled to be delivered by ford. and one of the leading members of the order in New England MT. Hagerty is a gifted orator, and an en- thusiastic Forester, hence the mem bers of the organization are confident his eulogy will be worthy effort
 Miss Annie E. 10th of New York, supreme financial secretary of the Companions of the Forest, will deliver a memorial address as the representa- tive of the women ForeSters.
 The vocal numbers will contribute greatly to the excellence of the ser vices. The quartet includes Mrs. Robert D. Martin, soprano; Miss Norma Weber, contralto: William ". Walsh, tenor, and Joseph Wieler, bass. In addition to the quartet numbers there will be several solos.
 Plans for the memorial service have been under way for several weeks, and from the interest manifested in the many local courts it is expected that the theatre with its large capac- ity will be inadequate to accommodate all who will seek admission.
 The committee in charge comprises John Grant. chairman; James Redden, secretary; Donnie E. O'Neil, James Stone, Martin Grace, Allen Pratt, Thomas Keegan, Patrick Carroll, Theodore Langenhan, Bernard Mona. han, Arthur Campbell, James O'Neil, Thomas Sheedy, George Noonan, Peter Carroll, Edward Brosnan, William Durkin, George Petit, and from the of the Forest, Mrs. M F. Cotter, Mrs Charles seltenreiGh, Miss Mary Sullivan, Miss Mary Donnelly, Mrs James Kiernan, Mrs. Patrick Howard, Mrs. Cullen and Miss White.

Three Ambulance
 Calls In One Day
 For Same Person
Victim of Epilepsy Might Have Kept it up, But Doctor
 Demurred

One might say of Irving Hoyt, who is now in St. Vincent's hospital, that he fit and fit and fit. Hoyt, widow balances calls at the emergency hos pital today within almost as few hours, and there is no telling how much longer he might have continued giving the ambulance corps chases the city streets if Dr. Krause hadn't resorted to the precaution of putting him in a hospital shere he can be un- der surveillance for some time.
 Hoyt is not included on the records of the emergency hospital of the un- fortunate victims of epileptic attacks, and when Or. McQueeney was called at 7:50 this morning to Golden Hill and Main streets to take charge of a man in the throes of epilepsy he re- marked casually that it was a new case to him.
 He quickly recovered at the emer- gency hospital, and left shortly after Dr. E. c. Krause, the day ambulance surgeon, went on duty. At 10:30 Dr. Krause received a call to Fairfield avenue and Main street. Much to his ed features of the object of his call as those of Hoyt. the man who short- ly before quit the institution.
 He took HOyt back to the emergen- ey hospital and closed a long scalp wound requiring seven stitches. Hoyt in his convulsions forced his head against the curb inflicting the wound At II o'clock Hoyt left the hospital, swathed in bandages. At F o'clock Dr. Krause got another call to Fair field avenue and Main street. There he was again, the same Eoyt, with the same trouble.
 Dr. Krause then removed the man to St. Vincent's hospital for treatment. He is said to live in a furnished room in State street, but he was too dazed to tell must about himself.

Taft And Teddy Al Golden Jubilee
 Of The Cardinal
Especial from United Press. )

Baltimore, June 5.-President Taft and Colonel Roosevelt will be the chief guests at tomorrow Celebra- ton in honor of the Golden Jubilee of Cardinal Gibbons. Their presence here at this time, political wiseacres say. may have d mOmentous influ- ence upon the coming nationaI cam paign although, so far as known now, no formal conference between the pair has been arranged Roosevelt will arrive early in the afternoon and will go direct to the home of Former Attorney General Bona parte. The President. on arriving, will go direct to the 5th regiment armory where many high church and political dig nitaries will honor the 50th anniver- sary of the elevation of Cardinal Gib- bons to the priesthood and 25th an- niversary, of his becoming Cardinal.
 The report that the President had planned to appeal to Roosevelt to support his Canadian reciprocity scheme cannot be confirmed but poli- ticians generally believe that he will hardly overlook the opportunity of lining up his predecessor for it.

Flames From Gas Range Spread To
 Pratt|ing infant
Golden Haired Baby's Face Head and Shoulders Pain
 fnlIy Burned

Charles Roberts, a golden haired tot of 1s months, caught fire from a gas range in the kitchen of his home, 659 Brooks street, at 10 o'clock this morn ing. The child is in the Bridgeport hospital painfully but probably not dangerously burned. Surgeons are hopeful that the prompt ministrations of the child's parents, Mir. and Mrs. tie chap from being permanently dis figured.
 Mrs. Roberts was busying herself with housework in the kitchen with little Charles playing about the floor, when she turned her back to draw a kettle of water. Little Charles toddled over to the gas range, peered flames, and in twinkling his hair and clothing was ablaze.
 He screamed in fright and pain, and his mother, dropping the kettle, rushed to where he had fallen to the floor and beat out the flame with her bare hands. But the child was burned badly where the golden curls had been consumed, and where the flames from his blazing clothes had spread over his face and shoulders. Both his tiny hands were a mass of blisters.
 Neighbors brought MT. Roberts in from his employment nearby, and he summoned medical assistance. Then he ran out to drug store, secured a quantity of oil and poured 1t over the burns to alleviate the sufferings of the crying youngster.
 After a wait of more than an hour for response to the calls for private physicians, the parent telephoned to the Emergency hospital. Ambulance Surgeon Krause found the lad resting as comfortably as was possible with such painful burns, for the parents had provided excellent first aid treat ment. But In order that the child's face, which was burned from forehead to chin, might be saved from scars, he advised the baby's removal to the hospital

The public utilities bill is the order of the day in the Senate, tomorrow. When it comes up for a vote many regulations will be made, or broken. It is needl ess to say that there is a very large public demand for the passage of the minority bill, which Governor Baldwin declares to be his choice, over the majority bill, al- though he believes that the bill re- 1909, is better than either.
 The majority bill is regarded as bad legislation for many reasons. It establishes two commissions instead of one, fails to provide for the regu- lation of railroads, and attempts to repeal all service and rate clauses in existing statutes.
 There is scarcely a city in Connec- ticut which would not lose some valuable privilege by the passage of the majority bill.
 The right of the City of Bridgeport purposes, free of charge, is based up- On a charter duty imposed upon the local water company. So is the right of the inhabitants of Bridgeport to be supplied with water at as cheap a. rate as the inhabitants of any other clCy are SuppHeu py d pTlVdIe cor poration.
 The majority bill would utterly destroy these rights.
 Similar rights accruing to the peo- pie of New Haven would be destroy ed.
 Former Mayor Thoms of Water bury has pointed out that Water bury, by the passage of the majority bill, would lose it's right to six trolley tickets for @ quarter, and various other privileges imposed upon the public services in that city
 The statute requiring school chill dren to be transported for half fare would be repealed.
 The statute requiring railroads to furnish communication rates in the same relation to the ordinary rates as the relation that existed in 1865 would be repealed.
 It would require a reading of every charter in Connecticut to ascertain all the damage that would be occas- toned by a single clause of the ma tority bill, should the bill become a law
 Governor Baldwin, in his messa ge to the General Assembly, asserted that in his opinion the public utili- ties bill reported by. the special com is the best bill that has vet been drawn for the regulation of cor porationS.
 
 New Britain he reiterates these views, declaring, however. that of the two bills before the Senate the bill re- ported by the minority is the better:
 The letter follows:
 Dear MT. Halloran:-I have written to Senator McNeil, as he has asked me, first, my views about the public utilities bill. He will show you the letter In a word. stand just where I did in my inaugural message. i e., the special commission bill of 1909 with a few minor amendments seems to me the right thing to pass. Of the two bills reported, the minoritys seems to me the better if amended in some im- portant matters which the minor ity agreed to do.
 Yours sincerely,
 Simeon F. Baldwin
 Senator McNeil. said this morning. that he is not at liberty at the pres ent time to make public the text of the governors communication to him. relative to the subject of public utili- ties, but he said that the governors views will undoubtedly he made pub

 Interest in Bridgeport, today, is in- tense, regarding the attitude of the representatives and senators from Bridgeport, as between the majority and minority bills
 The opinion is almost universa, that any member of either House who votes in favor of the majority report will be discredited at home and throughout the state and will then and there terminate his politi- cal career and any political future that he may have had before his vote was cast
