FORMER MAYOR THOMS
 ON MAJORITY BILL

Representative Thoms of Water bury, who was formerly the mayor of that city, agrees with the Farmer, that the general repeal clause in the majority bill to regulate public utili- ties. would destroy all the protection which the people of Waterbury have under the existing charters of trolley companies.
 Says Representative Thoms:
 "As applied to Waterbury it would destroy the provision in the old horse railroad charter, passed nearly 30 years ago, limiting the fares that should be charged within the city. It would wipe out all the conditions that have ever been imposed here concerning the carrying of school children at a reduced rate, or the giv- ing of tra ransfers, or the collecting Of but one fare within the city, or the running of a car at least once an hour.
 T presume somewhat similar con- ditions exist in every city in the state. It would seem wholly wrong to wipe them all out and leave the ranspor- tation companies to charge what they please and give what service they please, subject only to 8 commission that mas no power except to IeCOIl- mend and to begin law suits. Our own 2 per cent. case, which has now been in court five years, shows about what such power amounts to-
 As applied to Bridgeport it would wipe out from the charter duties of the Bridgeport Hydraulic Company the citys right to have a supply of water free of charge, and the right of the city's inha bitants to be sup piled with water as cheap as any other city is supplied by a private corporation.
 It would wipe out the right of New Haven to be supplied with wa ter free of charge, and the right of the people of New Haven to have water rates revised every five years.
 There is no limit to the damage that would be accomplished by this wicked bill should it become a law.

A BRISK NIGHTS WORK Exciing Perils of Diplomacy When Roosevelt Put the Panama Canal
 Deal Through Its Last Stages

In putting through the Panama Ca nal, President Roosevelt resorted to some rough and ready diplomacy. A treaty for the canal must be consum- mated before the Panama Commission could come to disturb the program. But whom could our State Department treat with? We had recognized Pana- ma. but the President had not as yet received a representative from the new government. It became neces- sary to acquire one. President Roose- welt and MT. Cromwell and the state Department put their heads together and wondered whom they could get near at home who would look like an Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary from Panama. The re- suit was that they decided to confer the honor upon P. Bunau-Varilla-he had made fortune out of the canal, and in way he was related to Pam anna. But what sort of credentials could he present?
 Nothing easier.
 The Provisional Government of Pan- anna was cabled to wire back creden- tials, and they were found to be per- fectly satisfactory to President Roose- welt. It was the first time in his- tory that such credentials had ever been heard of. but. after all, why should there be any undue formality between two sister republics?
 All the time the Panama Comn1is- sion was nearing Washington They were due to arrive at the Capital at eight. Before that hour. however. President Roosevelt had pressed but tons, summoned the parties in inter- est and before the Panama commission efved fin Washington, Bunau-varilIa and our State Department had con- cocted a treaty which bound ourselves and the Republic of Panama for all time. The treaty. which bound a Span- ish-speaking nation, was written in English. there being no time to have it translated into Spanish. and it was signed by a Frenchman and an Amer ican.-From Theodore Roosevelt Please Answer by NJ E. Stone. Jr.. in the June Metropolitan Magazine.

peated the sunt before an admiring throng at the Hotel Stratfield last night. He turned the reptiles loose in the lobby and snatched them up again and again without any of the safety devices that until this year have been used in snake hunting.
 Ed Harris, the Indian scout, led the hunters up the sinuous mountain train. pr. Krause brought up the rear With his medicine bag well stored with an tidotes, bandages and other emergency requirements. But so hot was the pace set by the young Indian that he soon distanced the surgeon.
 Hurry up, Doc" sang out one Of the leaders. noticing the surgeon s pace growing slow.
 Where do you think I am, on the ambulance speeding down Fairfield avenue?" yelled back the doctor be- tween gasps for breath.
 The presence of the F year locust, said Ed Pan, is responsible for a dearth of rattlers. Only half a dozen of the prizes were pinioned beneath the pronged sticks of the hunters this year, where several times that num- Der used to be the average catch.
 Before the hunters sealed the moun- tainside Alfred c. Baldwin, expressing clerk of the General Assembly, deliv- cred a eulogy over the grave of Jim Pan, the late chief of the Schaghti- cokes and scout of the snake hunters. Indians, half breeds. farmers for miles around. thronged the picturesque little churchyard skirting the Housatonic river. where repose the remains Of the venerable chief. Baldwin paid a touching tribute to the sterling quail ties of the Red Man who for many years was a leader of his people. Tears streamed down the checks of many of his auditors, and Sadie Harris. daugh- ter of the dead chief, was overcome with emotion. A wreath was placed upon the grave at the conclusion of the memorial services.
 Before the hunt the mysterious Rat tlesnake chowder prepared for years by Mark Nagel and Indian Harris was served to the hunters. On the return. a sheep barbecue was served.

THE REVOLUTION IS HERE; BUT IT WILL
 BE WITHOUT ARMS

It is my opinion that if a revolu- tion occurs in this country in the future, which I hope will never be necessary to protect the peoples rights. it will be due to the arbitrary usurpation of power by the Judges Hon. Frank Buchanan, M. C., of Illinois.
 This is a curious example of the linking together of the idea of revo- lution and violence; the idea that great changes in political institutions do not come without war. The most far reaching social changes have talk en place without vioIence and almost England. was unaccompanied by bloodshed. yet brought deep seated and far reaching changes to the Eng fish political system, as that the doc and the sovereigns of the land made as much the creation of the people as the president of the United States would be, if he were chosen as the constitution intended by the college of electors instead of by the voters for the king of England is king by virtue of an act of parliament, and may be, by an act of parliament made no king.
 Revolution, industrial and social economic and political, is in progress in this country. Great changes in transportation and industry have talk en place, and political changes of tremendous magnitude are now mak- ing, generated and made necessary by the revolution in business methods: as some prefer to term the precedent changes above referred to-

THE WARNING IN THE
 CASE OF LITTLE JOHN

The perllS Of the third degree are illustrated by the case of eight years, John Riocana who, under repeated watch. which was afterward found by its owner where it had been mis- laid. The little boy even undertook to show the police where he had con- cealed the watch.
 Those who have much to do with children know that they can be in duced to say almost anything if the idea is strongly impressed upon them Many a parent, by the frequent as sertion to his child, You did it, you know you did" has extracted an ad- mission from a little mind, over borne by weight of assertion. Under such circumstances a child with vivid imagination will frequently invent ali the details necessary to round out his story, and will receive the punish ment of a transgression which he ad- mitted, but never committed.
 The mind is @ curious instrument. Its records have by no means the cer- tainty that is popularly attributed to them.
 Some minds, even those of adults, are peculiarly open to suggestion. 1n all of us, even the strongest, there is some tendency to substitute later for original impressions. Who, for instance, has not, in repeating some embeliish it, so that, after the tale has been often told, the author finds it impossible to distinguish between what actually took place and the ad- ditions which were embroidered on to the anecdote.
 So that the confession of the criminal is not absolute proof of his guilt, especially when it is consider ed that confessions may be given in the belief that thus punishment, be- lieved certain, may be frightened, or avoided.
 Again we recur to the phenomenon represented in the child who is ab- jured to confess upon the statement Say that you did it, and you won't be whipped" The child psychology is frequently present in the adult and bids us beware of confessions
 In careful hands the danger of error by the full acceptance of con- fessions will be lessened by a search for the corroborative circumstances Frequently such circumstances will be present, as will warrant complete &C., ceptance of the admissions made by the accused person.
 In the case under discussion no such circumstances were present, yet is it not possible, even probable, that, if Mrs Rice had not found her watch. this little boy would have been judged guilty of a crime? Would not his failure to disclose the hiding place of the watch, which was evidence of his innocence, have been taken as a sign of contumacy, warranting unusual punishment.
 The incident here related should be taken by all courts, prosecutors and police as demanding caution in giv- ing ''the third degree" and as de- manding extraordinary caution in ac- cepting the evidence of children, es- pecially if they have been long and patiently rehearsed in what they are to say.
 The incident should also be a. warn ing to impuisive persons. who have a habit of mislaying valuables, not to be overhasty in charging theft.
