Revise States Plan of Keeping Books.

HSViSe oIate Ran OF Keeping BOOKS
A summary of the special report of
the state tax commission on the
finances of the state, compiled for the
legislature. was submitted to that
body. The gathering and compiling
of the data was done under the direc-
ton of A. E. James, statistician of
the commission
On the average for the seven-year
period Q903-1909) the revenue re-
ceipts totaled $6,214, 6O667 out of a
total for all receipts of 1882, 1929,
or S418 per cent. In 1909 the total
revenue receipts were $S,500,957.97
out of $9,S11, 51919, or 1864 per cent.
During the period of years covered in
the investigation, receipts as whole
increased from S6,S14, 1920 in 1903 to
1851, 519.19 in 1909 Revenue re-
ceipts increased during the same
period from SAL, 683.61 to $780,
95797.
The state accounts are not kept in
single fund, says the report, but diff
ferentiation is sought in the classifi-
cation of payments by subdividing the
accounts into number of funds. So
far as these funds amount to the
segregation of the states obligations
as trustee from its general disburse-
ments, the practice is not only proper
but is very necessary. So far as 1t
amounts, however, to the setting up
of separate appropriation accounts as
funds it has the effect of splitting up
of it unavailable for the claims for
money coming in, even though appar-
emily there is plenty of money In the
treasury.

Clarence w. Chamberlain of
 This City Instantly Killed ; and Horribly Mangled in
 Railroad .acciie1ite. !.

Clarence W. Chamberlain, son Of George D. Chamberlain of this city and nephew of Attorney John C.. Chamberlain, was instantly killed at Beacon Falls, yesterday afternoon, by falling beneath a freight train on which he was working as brakeman. His remains were brought to thts city today and notice of the funeral is given elsewhere.
 MT. Chamberlain was 26 years of age and is survived by a widow and two children in this city. News of the accident was received by te egraph yesterday and came as great shock to his reaftives and many friends fn this city.
 MT. Chamberlain was a brakeman on freight train No. 124S running be- tween Winsted and Bridgeport. At the time of the accident he was assist ing at switching some of the cars at Beacon r'alls and was standing, it is said, on the buffer of a Lehigh Valley coal car, endeavoring to set the brake. when through some defect in the clutch the brake handle suddenly flew around and shook him off. He fell beneath the whee's and seven cars passed over him, killing him instantly and horribly mangling his body. Dep uty Coroner Makepeace of Waterbury was called into the case and is in vestigafng the circumstances.

Courts Would Give
 Salaries to Collectors

The communication of the personal tax collectors to Mayor Wilson, in which they decline to comply with his request to resign their positions, was received by Mayor Wilson today.
 The Mayor announced at noon that the communication was tn his posses sion, but he had not yet had time to peruse it. He was not prepared to state what course he would pursue.
 The refusal of the Board of Appor- tionment to provide a fund for the salaries of the collectors would neceS- sitate their bringing suit against the city. Quoting the case of Sullivan against the osty, in which the salaries of policemen were involved, num- Der of lawyers today maintained that the city was liable to the collectors foc their salaries, and would be forced by the courts to pay the salaries should the administration succeed in prevent ing the appropriation of the sum for their salartes.
 The collectors havo three years to run of their four years appointments, and the annual salary is S1.54o

CIeWs In Clash With Roosevelt
 Over Big Eats
Especial from United Press )

New York, Dec. 2S.-If Saturday nights peace banquet" were to be deferred a week it would probably be designated a war dinner as the re- suit of the increasing tension between the men in control. growing out ~of |CoIoneI Roosevelt's verbal assaults on their motives.
 Today, Henry Clews, chairman of one of the subcommittee. took di- |rect issue with Colonel Roosevelt and stated that the Colonel was mistaken when he declared, yesterday, that the original purpose of the dinner had \ been changed from specific en- Idorsement of the Taft arbitration plan to a general endorsement of |anything than might aid universal lpeace.
 ''The purpose and import of this banquet has not been changed" said iClews. -'The executive committee has taken no action relative to changing l it's imports and purposes and so far las I know none will be taken. The lpurposes of the banquet and the movement is so big and so broad that 3fhe personal policies,i feelings or .opinicns of no one man in the United States can change it. The import of i the banquet is to support and ap- prove President Tafts arbitration policy or any other definite plan for securing or helping to bring about universal peace.

THOUSANDS TRAMP THROUGH BLENDING SNOW STORM 10
 GREET "B0B" LA TOILETTE
Initiative Referendum and Recall Direct Primaries and Direct Election of U. s. Senators Are Five Cardinal
 Principles of Progressi m

Cleveland, O.. Dec. 2S-Senatot Bob" LaFollette, today, is literally taking Ohio by storm. Ushered into his stumping tour of the Presidents home state by a baby blizzard, which has now reached full grown propor> tions, the Wisconsin Senator left here, early, today. for Norwalk and Toledo, for the second day of his Ohio cam paign.
 Enthusiastic applause and large crowds, so far, make LaFollette's bid for Buckeye support impressive. To- day, Cleveland and. in fact. all Ohio politicians are seriously considering the ovations given him so far upon his trip. 'Cleveland's testimonial-whether a personal tribute of interest, curlos- ity. support or sympathy-to LaFol- lette was to have more than 5000 per sons trudge through blinding snow storm to fill every seat in the arm ory. About 400 more spectators stood in the aisles and roasted on stairs for more than two hours. frequently and loudly applauding the progressive Re- publican leader.
 On the platform with LaFollette were James R. Garfield, former secre- tary of the interior, and hundred leading citizens, all wearing red league To all his Ohio audiences. Senator LaFollette is outlining the platform of the progressives as fol- lows:
 Make this government in every municipality, state and in the nation, represent the people, and not the spe- cial interests"
 The initiative, referendum and re- call, the latter to include the Judiciary direct primaries and direct election of United States Senators are the five cardinal principles of 'progressism, LaFoIlette specially urges.

Police Round Up Nine for Riding Without Lights Next Offenders Severely Punished.

The next offenders who are con. victed on this charge will be dealt with more severely warned Judge Frank Wilder in the city court this morning after passing sentence on nine men and boys ar-aigned in the court this morning for riding bicycles without lights, or upon the sidewalk
 The arrests yesterday were the re- suit of roundup of offenders by the police, last night, the laws concern ing rubber tired vehicles having come into common disregard.
 T have instructed the men to con- tinue making arrests until the law is properly respected said Supt. Birm- ingham this morning; mot only re- garding bicycles. but all rubber tired vehicles. They must carry lights ar- ter dark"
 Most of the offenders arraigned this morning were let go with warning and a $1 fine. One man, Joseph Kisch was fined sS for riding his bicycle was doing it just for fun. Others who were doing the same thing on their way home from work were let off more lightly.
 An interesting point which was cleared up most decidedly this morn. AAA5 was liIC ldCl lIidl DlCyClGS muSI not be ridden upon that portion of the street commonly used as a sidewalk even if, there is no regular curb or sidewalk at the spot
 Three offenders were arrested last night. by Patrolnen Bulkeley and Coughlin for riding on the walk on the west side of Howard avenue just north of the railroad viaduct and east of the Yost shop. There is no regular paved sidewalk or curbing at this spot, but there is a strip of ground between the factory fence and the road that is commonly used as a sidewalk
 The offenders arrested here all pleaded that they did not consider it sidewalk but they were warned that eurbs and gutters do not con- stitute sidewalk so much as the fact that people use it as such. Bicycles must keep off such thoroughfares

Taft Will Follow
 La Toilette On A
 Speechmaking Trip
Special from United Press.) --

Special from United Press.) ----
 Washington, Dec. 28-Announcement was made at the White House, this afternoon, that President Taft had determined to. follow up Senator La Toilette on a three or four days speechmaking trip through Ohio.
 According to present plans, the President expects to speak at Cleve- land on Jan. 29, Columbus on the 30th and at Akron on the 31st. Another date is also being considered.
 Although no explanation was made at the White House of the motives which impelled the President to take the jaunt. it was considered signifi. cant that announcement of the trip was made after a call of Warren G. Harden, Republican gubernatorial candidate at the last Ohio election.
 That the Presidents friends felt there was an urgent demand for the Ohio trip was indicated by the fact that one of the dates scheduled al Akron on Jan. 31. will force the Exc cutive again to postpone the state dinner to the supreme court justices,

railway employees and residents of the rural community near Norwalk and, tonight, will speak in Toleda.
 In his Norwalk speech he said in part:
 When conditions surrounding labor in. this country and competing coun- tries of the world are in perfect eQuil- ibrium, we should have free trade. have always stood for a tariff that will measure the difference-where there is difference-between the cost of production in this and compet- ing countries
 Up to certain time in the history of this nations tariff legislation. it was not felt by protectionists that there was so much danger in high duties. Tn 1S90.-I remember that there was some effort made to inquire into the difference in the cost of labor and the cost of production here and abroad. But it was not considered so vitally important because Repub- lican protectionists believed that any injustice to the consumer that might arise in the beginning from the en- actment of high duties would be quickly remedied by home competi- ton. That belief was based on the long accepted theory that a profitable industry would invite investments of capital. and prices would be reduced to the basis of fair compensation to the American manufacturers. good wages. to the American laborer, and that the average American citizen would share the general prosperity arising from the development of Ann erican industries.
 But domestic competition has not proved the strong regulator of com merce in these later years, because monopolies have been formed behind the tariff wall, and both consumers and wage earners made to suffer from extortion.

RESIGNATION OF D0TY DEMANDED
 BY GOV. DIX
Claims Every Allegation Against Man in Charge of Quarantine Station Has
 Been Proven
In His Report the Governor Refers to Shocking Out rages and Inhuman Gus toms Permitted.

New York, Dec. 2S-That he failed to maintain a proper guard over the health of New York and could not port, are the reasons assigned by Gov ernor John A. Dix today in demand ing the immediate resignation of pr. Alvah H. Doty, since Feb. 2S, 1907, in charge of the quarantine station here. The Governor in lengthy letter to pr. Doty, says every allegation has been proved against Dr. Doty, including the charge that, as result of inemciency it was providential that cholera and other direful infections and diseases should not gain foothold in this country"
 Dr. Doty is Republican and as- litical purposes only. He did not ap- pear before the Governor, and Dix, in commenting on this fact, said that he did not do so because the charges were unanswerable.''
 Charles N. Bulger, who investigated the charges. declares the Doty admin 1strat1on was guilty of misconduct, extravaganza, dishonesty, depravity and immortality, and the Governor, in his letter, states that from the evidence he must believe that the find- ingS were justified"
 III HIS letter, COVernOr DIX says, III part:
 Immoral and lewd practices were indulged in by the order les and other servants with immigrant women and girls while in quarantine The evil dence also shows a condition of squalor and uncleanliness in the rooms where emigrants are kept that shocks ones sense of decency and makes one ashamed of his country.
 ''In addition to the outrages, cus- toms were permitted which seem pos mftted to carry the bodies of deceased children from the hospital to the morgue in their arms. Whenever this occurred, the orderlies being obliged to pass through open grounds, the mothers who hadn't seen their sick children in the hospital and did not know their condition, followed the or derlies, hysterscaiiy weeping and wail- ing and trying to pull off the sheet covering to ascertain whether the body was that of their own children.
 .It appears, also, that children were brought to the island, populated in the main by people who had been ex- posed to yellow fever, or plague, or smallpox, or cholera, or other contag-, ious and infectious diseases, either for medical treatment or temporary deten- .tion, with accompanying mothers, ex- posing the lives of these helpless and innocent people to the dangers of con- tamination.

ROYAL FAMILY HAVE DECIDED
 TO FLEE PEKIN

London. Dec. 28.-Members of the royal family of China decided to flee from Pekin, today. following a con- ference that lasted for several hours, according to an Exchange Telegraph despatch from Tien Tsin.
 The Manchu princes are in panic. None of them believes that Yuan Shi Kai will be able to prevent repub- lie. A report was heard in Pekin, today. according to the despatch, that the rebels were preparing to move upon the capital as soon as the arm istice expires. Fear of a slaughter of Manchus is soid to have brought about the decision to flee from Pekin.
 Ranking. Dec. 2S.-A special des- patch from Pekin states that 5000 rebel troops left there, today, for Ranking. This is taken to indicate that revolutionary leaders have about abandoned nope of reaching any settle ment with the imperial government. movement against Pekin is expect ed at the expiration of the armistice.

The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1911-12-28

Extending an invitation to Miss Euphrosyne Bown, principal of the Grand street school and president of the Bridgeport Teachers association, to appear at the next regular meet ing, the board of Education at its adjourned meeting last night did not discuss the merits of the petition for uniform maximum salary for grade teachers, deciding rather to first hear the arguments of Miss Bown as the presentative of the petitioners.
 The invitation was extended on the motion of Commissioner A. E. Veness, seconded hy Commissioner John J. Cullinan. Commissioner A. W. Bell violently opposed extending an "in- vitation' and argued that it was enough to give Miss Bown the privi- lege of appearing without inviting her.
 This ts the more courteous way" argued MT. Veness. '.The board makes yearly contracts with the teachers. The teacher is party to the con tract. If the teacher wants to dis cuss the contract with the board she
