SUMMER SCHEDULE
 FOR R. R. TRAINS

Among the most important changes announced to be included in the an- nual summer schedule of the New Haven road, in effect next Sunday, June 4, is the re-routing of two ex- press trains so that they will go from New York to Boston via Waterbury. These are the 9.21 east bound and the noon express to New York The for mer will leave Bridgeport for Hartford and Boston, via Waterbury at 9:19 and the latter will leave Bridgeport coming here via Waterbury at 12:45 noon.
 Another change that may cause many a commuter to lose his train for the first day or two, is the plac- ing forward of the 6:5O a. m. for New Haven to 6:48. Those two minutes mean a great deal to the commuter who hates to leave the feathers, and no doubt for the first few days there will be some who will forget that they must be on hand two minutes earlier than heretofore and after June 19 there will be an express train for Fitch burg, with parlor car, leaving here at 6:34.
 Of the West bound trains the most important departure from the regular schedule of today is that in the Colo nia1 Express, which will leave at 1:16 p. m. instead of 1908 as heretofore. During the latter part of June. fol- lowing the usual custom, there will be an extra train or two to handle the additional traffic for the midsummer period.

THE SOLDIERS WHO
 WENT TO WAR IN '61

The States were uniforming their soldiery as best they could in that summer of 1S61 New York, Massa- chusetts, and Pennsylvania usually in blue, the Vermonters in gray, turned up with emerald, as befitted the Green Mountain boys. The one Western brigade in the newly formed Army of the Potomac came clad in gray throughout, not to be changed for the blue until late in September.
 But for variety, New York city led the country. A second regiment of Fire Zouaves had been quickly formed, as dashing in appearance as the first! Ahram Duryea of the old militia (with a black-eyed, solemn-faced little regu- lar IS second in command, soon to be- come famous as corps leader) marched forth at the head of a mag nificent body of men, the color guard, nearly all seven-foOters, all the scar let fez and brooches of the favorite troops of France. Zouave rig was by long odds the most pleasing to the popular eye in the streets of the big city-and, less happily, to Southern marksmen later-for all in a day the improvised wooden barracks were thrOnged with eager lads seeking en- listment in the ZouaVe regiments.

State Pension For Teachers
 Bill Dropped
New London May Get ST. 100000 from State for Steamship Terminal
Special from United Press.)

Especial rom united PreSS.)
 Hartford, June 1.-The State pen sion bill for public school teachers was unfavorably reported in the Sen ate, today, and immediately killed.
 Senator Brinsmade of the commit tee on education, discussing the pen sion bill said that he believed meas ures of that kind should be passed by individual cities. It was not a proper subject for state wide legislation, said Brinsmade. A favorable report was received in the Senate, today, from the joint committee on finance and roads, rivers and bridges on a reso- lution making New London a steam ship terminal. The report was re- ferred to the committee on appro- priations as the bill is intended to carry an appropriation of $1,000, ,000. Under suspension of the rules the re- port was immediately transmitted to the House.
 The Senate today, reconsidered it's action yesterday, in voting for a Fri day session and voted not to meet, tomorrow. Also the House took like action, today.
 A resolution providing that the shore line electric railway company be empowered to issue supplement tary mortgage covering $2,000, 900 worth of first mortgage bonds was passed in the Senate, today.

FIREPROOF OR LUCKY
 THIS BUILDING IS

One of our prominent business men had an acquaintance from New York call on him the other day to get some points regarding fireproof buildings in this city The visitor is an archi- tect and interested in cement and steel construction. The Bridgeporter is an all around humorist. So he said to his caller: "I will show you the old est and the most thoroughly fireproof building in town, if not in the state and elsewhere. It was constructed many decades ago but it has conquer ed a score or more of attempts to get ting itself demolished by flames of the accidental or incendiary type, or any thing else. Lightning has struck it several times but there was nothing doing in the blaze line as an after math. The building has been on fire in spots, from cellar to attic by caus- es innumerable. but it was a continu- ous performance in evading much de- struction or general confagration.
 Some funny things too, in the origin of these fires. We had the chemical treatment of blaze just fifty years ago, in one of the stores there where a fire started in a cellar of a drug store and the heat caused the violent explosion of a newly charged soda water tank putting out the fire and putting out of job, the injured clerk. Then a bottle of s'Thad' Benedicts "befo-de-wah' famous root beer burst and upset lighted tallOw candle which started a big blaze, but it was quickly put out by big lot more of beer escaping from heat broken bot ties and there was nothing to do for the hand engine fire department, ex- cept to walk up to the store bar and "liouidate'' all expenses.
 This fireproof asbestos-like structure has been on fire from no end of things including a Fourth of July "skyrock- et," shot into a front door, gunpow- der blaze, alcohol ignition, burning fluid. kerosene rats in matches and so on. The worst blaze. in the way of damage. took place about forty years ago, when the upper part of the east end of the building was badly burned at midnight. It was some below zero and several lengths of hose froze as stiff as poles to the roof and the fire men just shinned up them, instead of ladders.
 No, the old structure has been, is and even will be, fire immune and I've left out bookfull as regards our oldest fire proof building. Come over with me and see it.'
 Then the New Yorker was shown the rambling old frame structure on the northeast corner of Main and State streets, only saying what time does the 23 train leave?"

About One-Half the
 Personal Taxes Paid

As yet the personal tax collectors are in no position to state just how many citizens have paid their per- sonal tax, and will not be for some days to come. So busy have the col lectors been Tn the past few weeks that they have had no chance to check the books. much less to go to their meals. Today there was little re- taxation, the collectors for the first time going to their meals regularly Collector James Holt, Jr., gives a rough estimate that at least half of the bills sent out have been paid In all 24,0S3 bills were mailed, these in- cluding many who were exempt

 testing of Seat In Sey-
Especial from United Press.1


 Hartford, June Ion motion of Senator Donovan, of South Norwalk, today, the bill passed by the Senate, yesterday, giving Frank G. Bassett, of Seymour, $500 for expenses incurred in contesting Senator Lounsbury's s seat was reconsidered and the bill re- jected. Senator Donovan asked the question, Do you Senators want to violate the law"
 He referred to Senator Judson's $ statement made yesterday, in debate on this matter to the effect that the State would pay s100 of the expenses ot contesting candidates but no more. Senator Donovan further stated that members should think twice before voting any money not their own. Senator Mahan, of New London, fav- ored paying Bassett $500. Senator Paddock thought that the Senate should be fair in the matter if there was a precedent for the expenditure The vote was 15 to 12 in favor of rejecting the appropriation.
 MT. Bassett is allowed $10O by law without the formaIity of a vote by either branch of the legislature.

PLEA FOR PURE MOTHERHOOD

eff we could only make men see what monsters they are, we could ac- complish a great deal more for child hood By bettering the conditions of motherhood, we can better the condi- tions of childhood. And one way to do this is to wipe out the vice pla- gues in the country. By our votes we can make our cities better places in which to rear children and thereby pay the greatest possible tribute to motherhood. These remarks were made by Rev. Father O'Callaghari, su- perior of the Paulist Fathers of Chi cago, during an address in the Coils cum before one of the largest crowds which has ever attended any of the evening sessions of the Child Welfare Exhibit. ''The welfare of the moth er,' said the speaker, 'is the welfare of the child. Mothers are fountain heads of the physical and moral strength of the nation. That which promotes the highest ideals of mother hood is conductive to the greatest good

Mrs. Jayne Denies !, She AIienated
 Mather's Love
Would Rather Be Accused of Misconduct with Math-
 CT Than Live with An drew Jayne, Witness Says

Defiantly facing the woman whose shome she is charged with wrecking Mary E. Jayne of Darien this morn ing gave testimony in the $10,00O alienation suit brought against her by pIacidIy chewed gum as questions were hurled at her by Attorney John Keogh, counsel for Mrs. Mather. She frequently glanced without embar- rassment at the row of seats occupied by Mrs. Mather and her three daugh- ters. Charles Mather, who is said to have deserted his family for Mrs Jayne, sat behind his wife and daugh- ters but fixed his gaze on Mrs. Jayne.
 Mrs. Jayne was heckled by Attor- ney Keogh on cross examination. She was asked if Andrew Jayne had not divorced her and named Mather as correspondent. The witness didn | deny it.
 "You didn't care what the result of the divorce suit wasp demanded the lawyer.
 Not as far as I was concerned" was the reply.
 You knew that it would disgrace Mather's family and you, but you didn't care?"
 Why should %
 "You knew he had wife and family?''
 T supposed he had. I had seen his daughters"
 The witness was asked if she and Mather hadn't lived together in a house in West NorwaIk. She an- swered that she was Mather's house keeper and that he paid her $4 q week wages. She bought her own clothes for that and he purchased food for the household.
 Attorney Keogh then asked Mrs. 4f1f indiscretions with Mather. She de- nied it.
 'Td rather be accused of miscon- duct with MT. Mather than live with Andrew Jayne,' she declared.
 In response to questions by Judge Taylor, her own counsel, Mrs. Jayne denied that she had alienated Math- CTS affections from his wife.
 The trial is still going on before Judge Joel H. Reed.
