ROYAL MATCH
 TO COME FROM
 KAISER'S VISIT
Gossip Says German Emporer Wants to Wed Only Daughter to Prince of Wales
Especial from United Press. :,

Especial from United Press.)
 London, May 17-This city today, is filled with much gossip, that one of the objects of the visit to London of the Kaiser and Kaiserin and their only daughter, Princess Victoria Louise, is to talk over the possibility of an engagement between the Prin- cess and Albert Edward, Prince of Wales.
 Despite the fact that the Princess and Prince are the children of first cousins. and the Princess IS months older than Albert Edward, there are declared to be many reasons for making such an4sHga cement probable, chief of which is the Kaiser's desire to marry his daughter to a Protes- 'tant Had the Kaiser been willing to wed Catholic it is believed that her engagement with Archduke Fer dinand of Austria, would have been announced long ago as the latter paid assiduous court to the Princess. England would probably welcome such an engagement as tending to minimize the dangers of a war be- tween England and Germany.

NEW HAVEN ROAD
 EXCEEDED POWER
Bay State Court Decides Go Used Terminal in Boston
 For Commercial Gain

Boston, May 1.-The full bench of the Massachusetts Supreme court has decided that the New York, New Ha- ven & Hartford Railroad Company exceeded its powers under its charter when it conveyed to trustees for an indefinite period the old Boston and Providence railroad terminal site in Park Square for the purpose of devel- oping it as a real estate proposition for commercial gain. This convey ance was approved by the railroad di- rectors, against the protest of some stockholders who appealed to the courts
 The court finds the land exceeds in value more than $5,000,0 ,000, and that when the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad Company purchased it from the Boston and Providence company in 1904 the company did not have the right to carry on, for long term of years, the business of specu- lating in land or developing the other land in the vicinity, and changing it's general character for the purpose of gain.
 The court further says that the pro- posed scheme is open to grave objec- tions on the ground that Of public policy and it is the duty of the rail- road company to dispose of the land and turn it into money with all rea- Sonable dispatch.

CHILDREN OF PHILIP SNOW
 WRITE TO EVENING FARMER
Easton, Conn.

 To the Editor:
 We, children of Philip Snow read in the Bridgeport Evening Farmer of our father treating a horse cruelty. Gardner said that he saw our fath- CT driving only one horse in a team but he was really mistaken, our fath- CT was driving double horses in a team and did not have whip in his hands so he could not have hurt the horse and that horse usually sweats especially when it was such a warm day; most all horses were sweating that day.
 Just think if they took pity on the horse why did they not take pity on the two children, taking away their father and the horse and leaving those children all alone crying for their father one little boy of seven years and the other of six years If they have a heart, how could they take away their father and leave the children crying.
 They took father in the police sta- tion house and fined him $50. and so papa telephoned to his cousin so he came and bailed for him.
 Is it right to treat family man that has to support seven children so. Just think if not for our fathers cou- sin he would have to be locked up, and what would we children do?
