HUDSON PLEADS FOR
 HAWLEYS RELEASE.
THAT ALLEGED MURDERER IS INNOCENT OF CRIME WHICH HAS KEPT HIM CONFINED SINCE, 1892.

States Attorney Stiles Judson ap peared before the State Board of Pardons at Hartford, yesterday, and pleaded for the release of John Haw- ley, the colored man who was con- victed of the murder of Mary Munson of Shelton in 1892. Hawley was sen fenced to prison for life and his wife received nine years for complicity in the crime. It is the belief of MT. Judson, which belief is also entertain ed by Superior Court Judge William H. Williams, that Hawley's wife kill ed the Munson woman through jeal- ousy, and that John is the victim of a frame-up. This view MT. Judson has always held and he decided to appear in person this year and lay his views before the board.
 Judge Williams also appeared and told the board that he did not believe that Hawley was guilty of the crime The board considered Hawley's case in executive session. but as it requires an unanimous vote of the board to release a. prisoner, and this vote was absent, HawIey's petition was de- nied .s

Kelly In Line
 For Big Plum Former Alderman From Twelfth Said to be Slated For SeaIer
 of Measures

Former Alderman Dennis Kelly of the Twelfth district has distanced his various competitors in the race for the appointment by Mayor Wilson to the position of sealer of weights and measures.
 The last General Assembly amended the laws regulating this office so that instead of the two now holding office there shall be but one man for the duties performed by Howard Bayette and John Lynch.
 The remuneration is from fees alone. With one man to fill the place, it is considered one of the choicest of fees remaining in the gift of the Mayor
 There were several candidates, but latterly the race had narrowed down to Abe Levy and Kelly, and today it was generally expected that the May or VIII appoint Kelly, who is a we'll known employe of the Singer Mfg. Co.,, living at 73 Orange street.
 Bayette got 'in bad'' with the pres ent administration by his close asso- citation with former Senator Arnold, who was charged with double dealing on last election day.

Greenwich Young Men Arrested Upon Complaint of Girl Escape Jail
 Sentences

Three young men who are members of prominent Greenwich families, were happy today when Judge Walsh in the Common Pleas court let them off with light fines. They were charged with a sertous crime against Olive Griff1ths of Greenwich. Justus R. Cargill and Edwin w. Morrell were fined s7 each and Henry Gornfell $7 and costs
 The latter was originally arrested upon complaint of the girl, who said he was responsible for her condition. Cargill and Morrell testified that they had been too friendly with the girl and thereupOn the two young men were arrested on serious charge and were each sentenced to jail for 15 days. They appealed from the Green wich town courts sentence
 The murder trial of Joseph Heider, charged with killing Patrick Fahey of Stamford, will probably commence next week. Assistant States Attor- ney Carter said this morning, how ever, that there might be some delay because one of the witnesses is i'll.
 Judge Reed sentenced Joseph Dum- posky, of Greenwich, to jail for six months. He was charged with as Sau1t.

LIVELY . ROWS NOW IN
 6. Q. P. CAMP
Republican National Committee Starts Off With Very Dis cOrdant Music
There is no Decided Sentiment Among Members For Either Taft or LaFOllette
Especial from United Press.1

Washington, Dec. 12-"Senator La Toilette did not expect to make any showing before the national commit tee.' said Col. John Hannon, LaFol- lette's political manager, today. ''This committee is part of the old standpat organization. If anyone selected 10 men most likely to get the support of the administration he would be the man. Of course they are not for La Toilette. They are the very nucleus of the old machine
 .The significant thing is that they are not for Taft. More significant is the demand for primaries, which is our fight The fact that the La into the committee and has been the means of breaking the Taft support CTS is sufficient satisfaction for us at this time"
 With a new fight on between Post mast General Hitchcock and Secre- tary Hilles, in the face of the general situation in the committee, the Taft men were confronted with the most serious crisis of the Presidents cam paign for reelection
 Both the Taft and LaFollette men sought to. discourage the Roosevelt boom but those who shouted for the Colonel succeeded in making a great deal of noise and arousing much en- thusiasm.
 With three lively rows going on sim- ultaneously, the Republican National committee met at noon, today, to se- lect the Convention city, which is Chicago, set the dates, probably the 3rd week of June, and to name the committee on arrangements, which will probably be headed by Harry S. New, of Indiana.
 The selection of New caused one of the rows. The southern members op- posed New. New had the support of Secretary Hilles, backed by President Taft. Hilles and Hitchcock went to the matt and Hfl1es won.
 The absence of William L.. Warden, committeeman from New York, from the Presidents dinner, was the sign of a second line friction. Warden, puff fng at a heavy cigar, told in TO- bust voice how he was feeling indis- posed and had to be careful about the night air.
 The most serious stir in what is usually a harmonious performance, is that precipitated by the delegation from Ohio, insisting that the Fdele- gates at large to the national con- vention from that state be selected by a presidential primary. This is said to be the most discouraging fea- ture of the meeting to the President.
 The Ohioans scarcely veil the threat that if their demand is not granted the state convention will elect an an- ti-Taft delegatiOn-at-large.

President of Boys
 Club Asks Public To Donate Books
FORMER MAYOR THOMAS P. TAYLOR TELLS OF NEEDS OF INSTITUTION WHICH PROVIDES MENTAL AND PHYSICAL EDU- CATION FOR LADS.

The following letter received by The Farmer today from former Mayor Thomas P. Taylor is worthy of at tention. It tells of the needs of the Boys Club in the line of good read ing The appeal ought to bring response, for undoubtedly there are many here who can make donation of books without any loss to themselves, The letter follows:
 ''The Bridgeport Boys Club, corner Middle and Gold streets, is in need of five hundred books to Increase it's library. Recently it has been found necessary to discard at least two- thirds of it's library because many of the books have been read over and over by the boys, and are worn out. There have also been many books in the library discarded because they were only suitable for boys of ad- vanced years. The directors want books, magazines and other reading matter that is adapted to Interest boys of five to fifteen years of age.
 Many families have such books that have belonged to their children who have out-grown them, and if the Bridgeport Boys Club could have these books they would be read and ple of Bridgeport who will help us out by donations of books to notify George H. Garfield, superintendent of the Bridgeport Boys Club, and he will send after them, or they may be left at the rooms of the club. We are making a special effort to secure these books before Christmas.
