ford through its representatives would not oppose the committees allowing further time in order that all of thoSs whom Mr. Marr claims to represent, may be heard.
 There are two measures before tho committee on the annexation commit tee; one bill provides for the annexa- cepting the portion which includes OronoQue and Putney.
 The real bill which it is believed that Attorney Marr and his clients favor would provide for the annexa- tion of that portion known as Hoi- lister Heights. President Fred Enos of the Bridgeport Board of Trade Is said to be the leader in the move ment for annexation of the Hollister Heights district.
 Senator Judson and Representative Peck and practically the entire Bridgeport delegation, it is under stood, will oppose any movement by which any portion of the town Of Stratford will be annexed to the city of Bridgeport.
 Judge Peck says says that practi- cally the unanimous sentiment in Stratford is opposed to annexation. :, He characterized the scheme as one which is being promoted primarily by spectators in real estate and makes no bones of the fact that he is op- posed to any part of Stratford being put into Bridgeport.
 there is no sentiment whatsoever favora ble to either of the annexation schemes and the hearing tomorrow promises to bring out strong pro- test upon the part of the residents of Stratford against the move.

well" laughed Prof. James Atlan this morning, 'everything's up in tho air but the flying machine.'
 Prof. Atlas is not inclined to take very seriously the various attempts that are being made to discredit him. He says:
 "The facts of the matter are these: I have a contract with Taine, calling for a flight under certain conditions.
 If Paine makes that flight on Sat- urday, and the committee is satisfied, then he gets the money; if he fails to satisfy the committee, then the money is returned to its donors, 100 per cent on the dollar.
 "As to the effort to collect more funds, want to say that I don't ap- prove of it. When I first broached the subject with Paine he was per- fectly crazy to take it up and begged me to put it through for him. Why. he was willing to fly across Long Island Sound for s1000.

 Though I sincerely believe the testimony shows Lorimer should be the duty of the Senate to act upon his case promptly. these other meas ureS represent even a higher duty to the people," said Chamberlain.
 Following his plea, the question of recess until II o'clock was put and, no objection being raised, the recess was declared. Instantly the score of Senators in the chamber rose wearily from their seats and disappeared to the cloakrooms. Senator Lorimer. who had been leaning against the wall at the rear of the chamber, during. walked slowly out, accom- panied by ve-elect Mar tin Littleton. in evening dress.
 All the Senators showed the effects of the long strain and after midnight everything remotely resembling a bed was in great demand.

The Senators on the floor and the people in the galleries laughed heartily as the disconcerted Senator sat up quickly. as though fearing that he had been struck by stray eight cornered adjective h-lrled by Craw. ford at the Lorimer crowd. Carter, (Rep., Montana), with his overcoat for pillow. sought rerose on another lounge. These favored ones and mem- bers in uncomfortable attitudes sleep ing in their chairs made the chamber look like a midnight scene in the sa- steamer.
 Then there were the wakeful ones who never yawned and took the ex- perience as a mere incident. Chief of these was Ike Stevenson. the Wiscon- sin Senator with whiskers and a heavy shock but slightly touched by the frosts of his S1 years. He "chawed" his tobacco meditatively, growing more serene as the night waned.
 A heavy-eyed quorum was present when Vice President Sherman called the Senate to order at il o'clock. Prac- tically all the progressive Senators were on the floor. Senator Bristow was recognized. He yielded. however, to Money. Dem.. Miss.). who pleaded for peace. Newlands. Dem..

{From Our Special Corres.)

Hartford, Feb. 28.-Attorney James A. Marr of Bridgeport visited Hart ford today in the hope of being able to secure a postponement of the hear ing scheduled for tomorrow afternoon before the committee on New Towns and Boroughs upon the question of the annexation of Stratford or part thereof to Bridgeport.
 MT. Marr buttonholed the various members of the committee and had virtually succeeded in arranging for a postponem ment until his mission be- came known to Representative Charles H. Peck of Stra ford and Senator Stiles Judson of ~ same town.
 The two Stratlord legislators ob- iected to the hearing being postponed. They told the committee that the matter has been advertised for two weeks and a great many of the cfti- zens of Stratford have made arrange ments to attend, that one Stratfordite is on his way now from the state of Maine and that under no circum- stances would they agree to any post ponement.
 Attorney Marr said that it would be impossible for him to get his peo- pie together in time to attend the hearing tomorrow Judge Peck said that that is no fault of the committee or of the people of Stratford who are opposed to annexation.
 Senator Judson insisted that MT. Marr should appear tomorrow and bring with him some of the propon- ents of the proposed annexation scheme, and if he is unable to get all of his people, that the town of Strat-

WOLVES DEVOUR
 II8 MEMBERS OF
 WEDDING PARTY
Bride and Groom Thrown from Sledge to Appease Hunger of Ravenous
 Pack
But Two Survivors, In Half Crazed Condition, Return from Perilous Trip.
Especial from United Press. )

Vienna, Feb. 28.-One hundred and eighteen members of wedding party of 120, including the bride and bride groom, were devoured by wolves while travelling by sledges from Obstipoh to Tashk end, in Asiatic Russia, a dis tance of 20 miles.
 Today's Zeit declares that the two survivors reached Tashkend in a half crazed condition after having at sev- eral stages of the.journey thrown the bride and bridegroom to the ravenous pack of wolves. These four occupied the same sledge. The survivors de- manded that the husband abandon his wife, to tighten the sledge but he re- fused. In their rage the survivors threw both the husband and his wife from the sledge, thus appeasing the hunger of the wolves until the sledge reached the edge of Tashkend.
 The women and children of the party were the first to be thrown to the wolves, according to the survivors. They say the party started from Obstipoff in thirty-two horse sledges and that a few miles out hundreds of hungry wolves attacked them. The men shot many of the maddened animals but could not check their pursuit. Then it was that the men in the party began sacrificing the women and children. The wolves were so numerous and ravenous that even when a horse was pulled down it checked the pack for only few seconds.

nave given the matter due study. An assistant. MT. J. K. Giesey, who had been connected with the preparation of the original plans visited Bridgeport on Monday, the 18th, and Tuesday, the i4tn or February. and made the nec- essary re-examinations of some local conditions. Since his return the sub Ject has again been considered by me.
 At my conference with you it was proposed to omit for the present. if practicable. not only the outfall sew CT delivering the sewage to points of nnai disposal. but also the pumping stations and those :ntercepting sew CTS which are to be situated below mean Iow-level. In short. it was desired to know the practibility and cost of build ing at present only such finterceptins sewers and parts thereof that could discharge into tide water by gray ity.
 This proposition has been found to be feasible and it cuts out at the pres ent time by far the greatest expense TOT the system, and further has the merit that whatever is shortly to be built would conform in alignment and grade to the proposed system when completed and make future extensions when the funds therefore become avail able, most economical and service able.
 eSih.AuS III tne east or the clty, the proposed tnterceptor could be built as far down as Read street and there discharge into Hollisters pond by gravity with a temporary outfall. Be- tween Read and Webster streets the local sewers could also discharge tenn porar.ly directly into the same pond,
 On the west side of the pond west of Webster street the local sewers could likewise discharge temporarily above mean low water. The small sewer at the foot of Central avenue can be ex- tended to Jefferson street and dis charge at the foot of this street.
 The interceptor along the east side of Yellow Mill pond could be built to Stratford avenue and discharge by gravity, or 1t could be built first only as far as the North Arm and dis charge near Third street.

Mayor Makes Public Herring Letter Present ing Amended Details For Gravity

Cost of Certain Portions of Work Estimated Separate ly-Project Can Be Carried Out Piecemeal at
 Small Annual Expense

Nightly shrunk is that plan for a $3.00o.000 sewer system for posterfty, which came into being with a blare of trumpets some year or two ago and retired into obscurity as the citi- zens began to realize just what the project implied and its bearing upon the pockets of the taxpayers. Mayor E. T. Buckingham today received from Rudolph Herring an amended plan for a sewer system, which con- templates the delivery of the sewage into the tidal streams as at present. The cost of putting through a plan which will take care of the city for many years is put at S450,00O, and branches of the plan is estimated in- dependently.
 The letter was made public by Mayor Buckingham, this afternoon. and is as follows:
 Bridgeport. Conn. February 27, 1911. His Honor. The Mayor,
 Edward T. Buckingham,
 Bridgeport, Conn.
 Dear Sir:
 Tn accordance with your request, I visited your city on Feb. Is, 1911, and met with you and other gentlemen in conference concerning the building of certain sewers in your city.
 In 1908 a report and plans had been presented to your city for a compre- hensfve system of sewerage utilizing, so far as practicable. the existing works and ind eating a method of final disposition of the sewage for the en- tire city.
 The large cost has apparently pre- vented the adoption of the whole sys- tenn. but the City Engineer, when building whatever extensions were meantime required, has been guided where practicable by the general plan presented.--
 At present sofne large extensions are contemplated and 1t is des red to know how far they could be made to con- form to the original plan. To discuss this question with you was the occa- sion of my visit.
 After hearing the remarks and wish ee of those present at the meeting, I
