Another Uproar In Court.

When vltozzi referred to a woman
companion of Erricone's brother. Giro,
who died in Jail, Erricone rose and In
a voice charged with emotion asked
OF the Court to leave tho
room. The President ruled: ."Erricone
Is a man and must show his strength.
II Is impossible to allow him to leave
the court every time that the name OF
his dead brother Is mentioned
Erricone, however. explained that II
was not the hearing OF his brothers
name that got on his nerves but that he
did not wish to he present when refer
ence was made to the woman whose
name had been linked with that of the
poor innocent Giro" The President
permitted him to withdraw In the cus-
tody OF carabineers.
At this point Signor pistolesi, attor-
ney for Nitozzl. broke In with the as
sertion that the witnesses against his
client had been bought and that he
could prove II. This brought forth de-
malls from the prosecution and In the
hubbub that followed the sc. sion vas
adjourned.

TWO AMENDMENTS.


 Tn the October elections two pro- 1bsed amendments to the constitution will be submitted to the voters. One provides that the lieutenant governor shall act in event of the incapacita- lion of the governor. There is no oD- lection to this. and indeed, it seems necessary to make it certain that the sfate shall always have an executive.
 The second amendment is of a more dubious nature. It provides that the General Assembly shall ad- journ not later than the first We'd nesday after the first Monday in June following it's organization. Why such matter pshosld be made con stitution- ally obligatory upon a legislature, re- sardless of it's own will. compelling adjournment without regard to the work on hand is not clear. It might make it cheaper to maintain stables of lobbyists and legislative workers. The work of the lobby would also be facilitated, since the longer the ses- sion, the more ikelihood that she General Assembly will get out of hand Perhaps the matter is of no great importance, since it seems like Iy that the movement among the peo- pie may soon bring representive bod ies which the lobby cannot controf,l

TAX LIST, 1911

The Assessors of the City of Bridge port will meet at the Assessors Office. City Hall, on the first day of Septem- Der, and each week day thereafter. to and including the second day of Go. tober, 1911, for the purpose of receiv- ing the sworn lists of all persons lia- ble to pay taxes on personal property (namely. horses, wagons. automobiles. stock in stores, etc.), and real estate. in the City of Bridgeport, making a description of all real estate, each parcel being separately described (in- cluding street number). And if he or she shall neglect or refuse to do SO, the Assessors shall fill out a list for him or her and add thereto ten per centum of it's valuation.
 The attention of nonresident prop- erty owners is called to the change in the law relating to the filing of their lists, as failure on their part to list their property during September, de- prives them of the right of appeal to the Board of Relief.
 Special attention is called to Sec tion 2303 of the Statutes, which states that each parcel of property must be separately and accurately bounded and described.
 Post Office address of each owner must be given.
 Office hours-9 a. m. to 4 D. m. i; Saturdays g a. m. to 12 m.

GROUNDLEss FEARS.

The. esteemed Hartford Courant land the esteemed Ansonia Sentinel express the fear that the Senate may be in contempt of court, by doing by another act what the courts had en- joined in a previous act. The con- tention seems not we'll founded. The courts will scarcely join issue with Ia body of the General Assembly, over an act not in itself the subject of Judicial action.
 But the issue calls attention to the general relation of courts to legisla- lures.
 Tn most of the states of the Union the courts, while a coordinate branch of the government, are yet subordi- nate to the legislative bodies.
 In Connecticut this is especially true. All Connecticut courts are of limited jurisdiction. Their powers are derived from statutes which are mere legislative acts. These powers may be reapportioned, or redistribut- ed, changed. annulIed or altered at tthe will of the legislative body. Even r the right to declare laws unconstitu- tional exists by virtue of a statute
 and may be withdrawn by virtue of
 another statute if the legislature should be of that mind. In certain uninformed quarters ill
 this country great misapprehension of the functions of the Judiciary has been entertained. The courts have place in the governmental structure by such persons than they actually enjoy The error seems to grow out of the fact that modern curriculums do not embrace a study of constitu ton making in the United States. Such knowledge would show how pre- posterous is thea belief that there ever
 was in this country any great body of opinion in favor of making the Judiciary supreme over legislatures
 So much for the courtphobiacs, to
 coin a word. The judiciomaniacs, to coin another word, or those who have
 an abnormal fear of the courts. may calm themselves. The courts are
 what the people permit them to be-
 They are sufficiently subordinate to the people through the legislature and, this being so. contain no ulti-
 mate threat to the permanency of Re- publican institutions.

EDIBLE MUSHROOMS.
fst9llTTrrt31lC. ].

Hartford mycophagists have for simulated two general rules for the tprotection of those who will eat nnushrooms for other than suicidal kpurposes. The first rule is to skip ttrnost of the edible varieties in favor of the common pasture mushroom, which grows in the open. The sec ond is not to eat any of the kind I4that are brilliantly colored. Mush- room pickers who deuire to gamble with death may considerably increase the chances in their favor by observ- ing these two simple precautions. Ii IS asserted that seventeen edible va rietiee grow in the neighborhood of Hartford. But New York. state gives znushrcom eaters the biggest chance 10 eat and live. A hundred edible varieties grow there to one poisonous Variety.

HfELhEN NOT A JESTER.

Al
 We hesitate to believe the story officially given out from the office of the New Haven railroad. that MT. Aellen would retire. is joke and that it emanated from MT. Mellen himself. That distinguished gentle man has not hitherto given indica- lions of being a merry jester. Nor Tor q first attempt, should he decide 10 become one. would he perpetrate "a witticism of such skyscraper pro- portions. Some thing humber in the Joke line would have been his effort as . novice. Besides, a joke that 1ends the stock of a great corporation flmbling downward. as the Mellen joke did, is about as funny as hearse It a picnic The mystery of that an nouncement may some day be solved out the joke story isn't the solution.

THE GOVERNORS VETO.

Governor Baldwin's veto of the amendment to the charter of the Con- necticut River Company is something that the people of this state have been waiting for ever since Connects cut entered upon policy of endorse ment for financial buccaneers, which is now about fifteen years. The gov ernor makes four points, as follows:
 That the company has tangible property worth not more than $1,- 125. 1000, against which it is proposed to issue bonds for $5,000.000.
 That anything else that the com pany owns is franchise value, or the value of what the state has given, and he estimates this value at not to exceed $4,o00, ,000.
 That the state should not part with this great public value without ex- acting an adequate payment in the form of an annual share of the gross receipts of the corporation from it's business.
 That in any event bonds should not issue for sum greater than three quarters of the value of the property, franchise and tangiple.
 Public prdperty should not be do- mated to private persons without compensation. any more than private property should be donated to the public without Compensation.
 The governor does we'll to call att tention to the fact that the state has been prodigal with the public wealth. The lands under water. rights in the streets. property rights worth mill lions. the state has given to monop- oly without compensation and to the great, injury of the people.
 The legislature has hitherto given charters to some public service cor porations authorizing them to issue stock and bonds at their own pleas ure. The result is seen in the low prices of certain railroad stocks and is manifested in the pockets of in- dividuals in many ways.
 Stock watering, and bond water ing, a more dangerous practice than stock watering, should be discourag> ed. It is devoutly to be hoped. that the veto of the Governor will be lsus- tained.

GALLERY LOBBYISTS NEEDED.

The unexpected often happens in this vale of tears. House Leader Banks is- displaying a violent opposi- tion to lobbying. Bill Sikes denounc- ing burglary, Fagin prosecuting pick pockets, or Capt. Kidd decrying pi- lie more. MT. Banks has hitherto done his share to preserve the lobby in it's activities. since from his posi- ton as house leader he has success fully prevented the passage of the Judson anti-lobbying bill. measure we'll devised to drive the Legislation for cash" gentry into the outer will dernes~
 But recently Mir. Banks has been denouncing the lobby, making indi. vidual application of his views, once to the secretary to the governor and once to a Bridgeport newspaperman.
 The strange part is to come. Tn neither case did MT. Banks succeed in putting his finger upon a member of the lobby. although there were plenty about. He fell into a blum der of the same nature as that com mitted by the reformed pirate, who having vowed to discourage plunder on the high seas, opened fire upon an honest merchantmen. being unable to distinguish for lack of experience be- tween the wicked and the virtuous.
 A rogue's gallery of the lobby might be esta ablished at the capitol, with course of instruction for re- formed legislators, who would then have no difficulty in distinguishing between plain citizens and plain, but fmpudent lobbyists.

A GENTLE PHILANTHRopIsr.

Geo. E.. Baisden. for 3S years dep- ny warden at he Conn. State Prison, in a recent interview, demonstrates most conclusively that the grand old state of Connecticut is still in the foreground when it comes to density of ignorance. and brutality of feel ing in reference to dealing with it's mentally sick-and economically wronged-"the criminal classes
 With great eclat, and fiendish in- difference to all sense of decency and self-respect, this modern inquisitador joyfully recites his detailed prepara- ton for hanging poor devil.
 He would take two crews of men out in the yard, and make them pull on a rope until they'd taken all the give out of it.'' This was repeated ''for eight days,''
 Can you imagine the tender, loving heart which beats in the gentle breast of this fatherly brute, melting in pity at the horror of it all.
 That which normal man, with in- stincts of a human being would ab- hor, this Torquamada recounts as a chef d'oeuvre of his prison experi- ence
 He has been so absorbed in devis- ing tortures for these outcasts and pariahs of civilization that no knowl- edge of the vast strides in Penology and modern treatment Of criminals has ever penetrated the denseness of his "prison-made comprehension ''

LOST-ONE HUSBAND.

(Kansas City Star.)
 Now. see here. Mrs. Smith.
 If that, madam, is the name that you let the minister use to obliterate your own, just put aside your sew ing for a minute, postpone the dlSh- washing, the, bridge game, the bar gain page or the motor ride and take time to read this. And straightaway take a solemn VOW that you will hang the unfortunate Mrs. Smith of this story, you may lose him in that vast human haystack, the Smith tribe; see him disappear into that impenetrable maze, the Smith family; find him swallowed up in that swirling, seeth- irg whirlpool, the Smith clan.
 Mrs. Jay c. Smith came to Kansas City, September 2, 1908, from Lan- sing, Mich. Her husband did not foi- low her in October, as he had prom ised and Mrs. Smith wrote to him telling him to come at once. The letter was received by another Jay c. Smith, an alderman of Lansing, who mailed it back to Mrs. Smith.
 Mrs Smith wrote again. That time her letter went to still another Jay c. Smith who sent it back to her.
 From the Red Cross hospital, where she was ill with typhoid fever, Mrs. Smith wrote more letters. When she
  intendent had registered her as Mrs. G., instead of Jay Smith, and that a man who had asked for Mrs. Jay c. Smith had not returned when he was told that no one of that name was in the hospital.
 Another difficulty. Her husband dislikes the name of Jay, and often is called Jack. The Chief of police at Lansing and the chief at Detroit could not find her husband under the name of Jay c. Smith, and told her it was useless to search for man who called himself Jack Smith.
 Mrs. Smith lives at No. B East Thirty-second streeet Tn letters to s. w. Zickefoose, acting chief of po- lice, and Walter Sherlock, head clerk of the bureau of records, Mrs. Smith tells her troubles and gives a de- scription of her husband, who is Al years old, tall and thin, with gray hair and gray eyes.
