Windham County Organization Perfected

The Senators and Representatives of
Windham county, met in Hartford last
week Tuesday, and perfected a county
organization, and elected Senator Geo.
A. Hammond President by unanimous
vote. Representative Covell, of Pom
fret, was unanimously elected Clerk.
On motion of Representative J. F.
Carpenter, Representative f. ii Reach
of Danielson, and Representative ID.
p. Dunn, of Willimantic, were re.elec-
ted Auditors.
County Commissioners r. H. Hall
and +. IL. Corttis were present and, in
accordance with the law, made their
report of the county affairs for the past
two years. Commissioner Hall maze
brief statement about the affairs of
the county, and then read the follow
ing introduction from the printed re-
port:
To the Honorable Senators and Repre-
sentatiVes of Nindham county,
Gentlemen
Your County Commissioners hereby
present TO you the following report of
receipts and expenses, and financial
condition of the county for the two lis
cal years ending Septem Der Both, 1909.
and September 30th, 1910, together
with report in detail concerning our
Temporary Home, County Jail, and
licenses issued in the several towns
through the county during that PEE
Rod.
For the two fiscal years just passed
the balance in favor OF the Jail is "A ,466
81; and when summarized with the
two previous years, taking into con
sideiation The high cost of living and
the small average number of prisoners,
your Commissioners think the compar-
ison is in favor OF the Two years we now
report.
AT the Temporary Home the deficit
has increased less than fifty dollars
from the two previous years, noLwIth-
standing there was a new gas machii
installed at an expense OF 1850, and a
new water supply added, costing $462,
2S-both being necessary OUTLAWS in
maintaining that institution. These
were extraordinary expenditures, aud
not TO be considered in The regular an
nual cost of Home expenses.
For the past two years much more
sickness has prevailed at the Home
than formerly, and some cases have
had 10 be sent 70 the Day KimDali Hos
pital for treatment and operation.
These hospital expenses being outside
the regular medical attendance at the
Home we have charged the same in our
county expenses incurred outside The
the Home and Jail items.
A new item added 10 the credit col
umn of the County Treasurer's account
is Sl76.9o interest money, which repre-
sents money received on the counly's
surplus funds and deposits. General
repairs al the Temporary Home, toge-
gether with painting all buildings,
which will be necessary another year,

the fact that there Is such 8 fUud upon
which 10 draw, relieves the tax payers
from county tax which is always
burden To all towns, and particularly
the smaller towns in the eoauty.
BY the resignation OF Mr.. and Mrs.
Converse from the management of the
Temporary Home, which your Com
missioners much regretted and very re-
luctantly accepted, we were compelled
To look for another Superintendent and
MatTon. After much consideration Mr..
and Mrs. J. l.. Thatcher, from Web
ster, were engaged to I'LL these posi-
tons, commencing last April. Up to
the present time they have given eX-
eelIent satisfaction, and your Commits
sioners consider themselves fortunate
In their selection for positions SO diff
cult TO fill in all particulars.
With the same efficient management
at both Temporary Home and County
Jail continuing, your Commissioners
look for the same favorable results as
in the past.
Respectfully submitted,

WHARF CRUMBLES
UNDER BIG WEIGHT
Between Fifty and Sixty Were
Injured in Montreal Acct
dent Sunday Night

Montreal, June 26.-Through the
collapse of a wharf at King Edward
park. a pleasure resort on Isle Gros
Bois, twelve miles from here, between
fifty and sixty persons were injured
last night.
The collapse occurred when the
wharf was packed with hundreds of
pleasure seekers awaiting a ferry
boat to convey them to Montreal.
The crowd tried frantically to re-
treat, but it's members were so close
ly massed escape was impossible and
hundreds plunged downward in the
midst of shattered beams and planks.
Every ambulance in the city rushed
to the pier when reports of heavy loss
of life became current. Cool heads
at the park, however, organized res
cue parties and the victims were rap
idly extricated from the debris, first
aid measures being employed and the
injured placed on the ferry boat and
later given surgical attention.
So far no deaths have been report
ed and it is believed no one is fatally
hurt. Broken limbs seemed to be the
most serious hurts sustained by any
of the victims,

Bickford rested his case in the dis
trict court in this city at 1880
o'clock today after which adjourn
ment was taken. The attempt of the
counsel for the defense to draw a
statement from Bickford on the stand
that the Bowbells bank certificates
OF deposits were finally taken up and
that the bank lost nothing, brought
objection from the state which was
sustained. Bickford admitted ask
ing Gunder Olson to carry the GER
tiflcates for a while as he was un-
able to take them up, but denied hav-
ing said anything about bad invest
ments. :.
Mrs. Bickford, sweet faced and sad,
took the stand for a moment to cor
roborate a bit of her husbands testi-
mony. Fred Andrews Of Bowbells,
also took the stand to testify to
Bickford's good reputation at home.
Counsel for the state expressed a
willingness to concede the defend
ants good reputation, and said that
otherwise he would not have been
elected. Senator H. H. Steele testi-
fed to Bickford's good reputation, as

Grain Inspection Bills Looked
Upon With More Favor in East

ready to demand federal inspection.
The southern Atlantic states, which
were inclined against federal inspec-
tion two years ago, are now said to
be favorable to it. OF the great ex-
porting centers of the east, Boston
and New York are now the only ones
that will make strong fight against
the federal system.
Philadelphia in Favor.
Both Baltimore and Philadelphia
have been won over because of the
imperfection of local inspection. In
the latter city, for instance, there
has been within the past week much
talk in the newspapers and among
business men because of the inspec-
tion methods which resulted in the re-
lection of several cargoes of corn at
Liverpool. The corn was passed out
of Philadelphia as being of certain
high grade. 1t was rejected at Liv-
erpool, both because it was not up to
sample and also because it was musty.
This rejection has done much harm
to Philadelphia grain export trade,
and the responsibility is being laid

Washington, June 26.-There will be
renewed efforts, at the regular session
of congress, opening in December. to
secure the enactment of legislation
providing for the federal inspection
of grain. There were such bills in
the last congress, one by Representa-
tive Gronna of North Dakota in the
house, and another by Senator Nc
Cumber of North Dakota in the senate.
There were hearings which showed
the great exporting cities Of the east,
for the most part, in opposition to the
bill, and many of the grain-groWing
farmers of the middle west in favor
of it, but there was no legislation.
Change in Opinion.
Since then there has been great
change in opinion in the east with ref
erence to the desirability of federal
inspection, and it is expected that
when the legislation again comes up
in congress, it will have much more
prestige than ever before. Baltimore,
for instance, is said to be now inclin-
ing to federal inspection. Philadelphia,
which during the last congress made
an earnest plea against the Gronna
and the McCumber bills, is now getting

LABOR LEADERS
CITED BY COURT
Directed to Show Cause Why
They Should Not be Ad-
judged in Contempt

Washington, June 26.-Justice DAN
lei T. Wright of the district supreme
court issued an order against Samuel
Gompers, Frank Morrison and John
Mitchell. labor leaders, requiring them
to show cause on July II why they
should not be Judged guilty Of con-
tempt Of court. This action followed
the filing Of report Of the special
committee Of attorneys appointed by
Justice Wright to inquire into the
matter Of contempt proceedings In the
Buck Stove & Range boycott case.
The contempt proceedings against
the labor leaders recently were passed
upon by the United States supreme
court which set aside the Jail sentences
heretofore imposed by Justice Wright.
The supreme court held that the con-
tempt on which Wright formerly pass
ed was Of q civil nature and against
the Buck Stove & Range company in
diminishing the former proceeding.
However. the supreme court gave to
the district court the right to reopen
in the event that any contempt of
court itself should be found.

Washington, June 26.-speaker
Champ Clark issued a defy to the ad-

that President Taft purposed to veto
any general tariff legislation at the
extra session Of congress. The speak

that the whole tariff ought to be re-

would rest its case with the country.
"The tariff ought to be revised from
top to bottom" said Mr.. Clark. The

The house decided that it is best to
revise 1t schedule by schedule. We
have made a good start on that plan.
We will continue as we have begun.

and it will sustain us. We believe we

SEVENTEEN ARE
DEAD At MEMPHIS
Boat Explosion Toll Reached
That Number-Two More
Expected to Die

Memphis, Tenn. June 26.-The
death list resulting from the explosion
of the river packet City Of St. Joseph
six miles below here Saturday after
noon was swelled to seventeen Sun
day. Two more will die. In account
ing for the crew it was found that
eight instead of six negroes lost their
lives almost instantly, five being
drowned and three scalded to death.
Nine more died of their injuries Sun
day. Engineer Floyd Morgan is so
badly scalded that hopes for his re-
covery have been abandoned.
Morgan, however, was able to state
that violation of government regu-
lation probably was responsible for
the explosion. He said he looked at
the steam gauge just before the boiler
let 60 and it stood at 145. 1t is said
144 is the limit provided by the gov
ernment. A federal investigation is
expected.
