 Elliott Northcott, to be minister to Nicaragua.
 Frank Mott Gunther, to be secre- tary to the Americal legation in Nic- aragua.
 Northcott is now minister to Colum- bia.

COMMITTEE HERE
 SENDING OUT TWO 7 IMPORTANT BILLS
Proposed Trades Dispute and Compensation Bills to Be Laid Before Labor Unions.

As the result of the meeting of the Conference committed of Labor Un- ion and Socialist delega. es at the hall of the Machinists' club in Wall street yesterday afternoon, copies of pro- posed Trades Dispute act and of a Workingmen,s Compensation act will be sent to all the labor union locals in Connecticut for a referendum en- dorsement.
 The two measures in question were endorsed by the committee after a dis ctlssfon.~ These measures are prac- tically duplicates of the two laws per ta1ning to these subjects now effective in Great Bri ain. and are slightly mod flied to meet the needs of Connecticut and the constitution of this State.
 They were presented to the commit tee by Robert Hunter, for whom they were drawn up by Attorney Morris Hillquit of New York. who is counsel for all the labor organizations in New York on the same measures.
 The Conference committee which thus started the ball rolling on these two important measures, is composed Union of Bridgeport, the various un- ion locals of Bridgeport. and the Leg islative committee of the Socialist par ty of Bridgeport. It is the commit tees idea to secure. if possible. two measures which will reflect the ideas of all. and to bring united support for these two measures when they appear in the Legislature
 State Organizer John J. O'Neill and President Timothy Flanagan of the Central Labor Union of Bridgeport, spoke before the committee. and said that they did not think it wise for the committee to endorse these meas ures until after hearing from the ex- ecutive committee of the State Feder- ation of Labor.
 
 the time is so short for the introduc- tion of new business in the Legisla- ture. that it would be best to start the ball rolling at once by giving these two tentative measures an endorse ment and sending them ou, to all the unions of the State. about 495 in num- Der. for a referendum.
 In this way it is hoped to arouse in- terest in the matters and to acquaint all the union men with the nature of the proposed measures. Then. it is believed. it will be possible for all to agree on some one measure and give it united support. avoiding the splits and disagreements which have ham pered effective work in the Legisla- ture in previous years.
 The Trades Dispute act is one which restores to the unions the full right to strike. picket, and boycott.
 The Workingmen's Compensation act is one which is arranged to make the tion for injured workmen as fair as possible, and to make the pro- cess of securing it entirely automatic, practically elimina ting courts and law suits from the question.
 Before adiourning. the Conference committee also voted to take up with all it's might the subject of securing a huge petition to be presented to the Legislature. protesting against the passage of any amendments to the charter of the cfsy of Bridgeport with out first laying them before the cleo torate for a referendum vote

SHIP SUBSIDY BILL . FOR MAIL SERVICE
 TO SOUTH AMERICA
fspecia1 from United Press )

Washington, Jan 9--A new ocean mail bill commonly known as ship subsidy, drawn up as a result of con- ferences between President Taft and Sena or Gallinger (Rep.. New Hamp- shire) and others. was introduced oy Gallinger today as substitute for his subsidy bill now pending Tn the sen ate. The bill stands next to the Lori mer case which is first in the senate order of business.
 The new bill eliminates trans-Pacific lines and applies only to the establish ment of ocean mail service on routes to South America. south of the equa- tor-that is. to Brazil. Uruguay. Ar gentina, Chili and Peru. If there is one of the lines will touch at least one point south of Cape Charles.
 The bill forbids the award of any contract for an ocean mail line to any bidder engaged in competitive transportation by rail or in the busi- ness of exporting or importing mer- chandise on his own account. A con tract shall be cancelled when the holder thereof gives undue preference to any particular person, corporation or locality.
 Bidders offering the highest running speed will be given preference in the award of mail contracts. The expen- allure under the bill is not to exceed $4. .OO0,000 year. and is not. in any case. to exceed the amount of profits received by the government from the ocean mail service. It is believed by friends of the bill that it will break the existing European monopoly in ocean transportation between the United States and the principal coun- tries of South America. The bill is expected to mean the construction of from 15 to 20 steamships with a ton mage of from 5000 to 12000 tons and built on designs approved by the Navy Department The ships would have to be turned over to the government in time of war;

FAIRFIELD SILVER
 MYTH CALCULATES
Irish Linen Among Stuff Bought by Second Hand Dealer, of Murray Estate, But Not Trunk Full
 of SilverWare.

An interesting story was in circula- tion in Fairfield Saturday, to the ef- feet that when the household goods left by the late Agnes Murray of Greenfield Hill, were sold. the pur- chaser got a rare bargain. It was stated there was an old dust covered trunk in the lot, which no one SUD- posed to be of value. It went with the other goods. and when it was opened a bed quilt Or two were pulled out. and beneath was found silver ware, all carefully labeled with dates and where 1t came from, worth some $17,000. It was also said that other valuable things were found, such as old Irish bed linen.
 Inquiry among those supposed to know of the transaction disclosed the fact that there was some linen, but the $17,O0O worth of silverware was said to be a myth.

YECGS BLOW SAFE AND GET AWAY
 WITH BANK ROLL
Special from United Press,


 Wheeling, W. Va, Jan. 9-Under the full glare of an arc lamp, Yeggs, last night, blew the safe of the First National Bank of Elm Grove, a will lage four miles east of here, and es- capped with between SIP, and $13, GOO fin paper and silver money, stripping the safe of all but a half dollar and after scattering cayenne pepper to stop pursuit by dogs.
 The door of the vault was protected by the Yeggs by two feet of burlap and two horse blankets to deaden the sound. The charge used was a heavy one and blew the door of the safe across the room, shattering fur niture into splinters. The shock tore an amount of paper money into bits and after helping themselves to all the money in the safe but a half dol lar they escaped, leaving an augur and a small bottle of nitro glycerine on. the floor. No one in the village heard the explosion and the robbery was not discovered until this morn ing
