Rep. MeItzer To Compile Charter
 And Ordinances City Clerk Boucher Will As sign Him to This Task, if Aldermen Pass ResO-
 IutiOn

Representative Joshua Meltzer. who has made one of the finest records in the Connecticut Legislature of any man ever sent by the city of Bridge port. will probably be appointed by City Clerk Stephen F. Boucher to com- pile the charter and ordinances of the City of Bridgeport, providing a res olution to that effect passes the board of aldermen tonight, as is expected.
 Atty. Meltzer has given much atten- tion to the question of the city's char ter and ordinances and is probably more of a specialist in this subject than any other lawyer in the city. His selection for this work therefore will assure the compilation of the ordin- ances in the most accurate and effl- eient manner.
 The board of Apportionment has ap- propriated s1.500 for the work. Alder man Garry Paddock will probably in troduce the necessary resolution to- night. Copies of the city's charter are very rare and such as do exist are not up to date. A compilation of the or dinances is also a great necessity.

Madero Elected But Wants New
 Voting System
Special from United Press. }


 Mexico City, Oct. 2-While Francis co I. Madero was, today, receiving election returns which showed his election by fully 95 percent of the total vote cast in the republic he gave the following interview to the United Press correspondent:
 ''This election system in Mexico is all wrong, even though I and my run ming mate, Pino Suares, have been elected by it. One of the first things I shall do will be to study various forms of election and advocate the best one for Mexico. The present sys- tenn must be, immediately done away with. There was no secrecy about voting in Mexico. Votes of every vot- CT were read aloud to peers in elec- tion booths. I have heard already of one chauffeur who was discharged by his employer because he voted against his employers wishes.
 Putting myself in Diaz' boots. can see how Diaz couldn't loose past elections. What We want in Mexico is an election systym whereby people can express their wishes with full lib- erty and no fear and influence of em- ployers. All parties have supported me and cast their votes for me but I do not belong to all parties. I am a Progressive. My feelings toward the people and their rights are similar to the sentiments of what you call "in- sur gents" in American politics.

Temples of Siam.


 Once year all the Buddhist temples in Siam are visited by the king or bis deputies, bearing the phra kathin (yelS low robes), in conformity with an an.. cient custom by which the priests were made to see.l their apparel for the en- suing year. During the lifetime of Buddha monks and priests were sent out to beg for old castoff garments which were afterward dyed yellow aud patched together to form the redfifed robes. This ancient mendicant GUS tom gradually gave place to the pres ent one of making the garments from a new cloth of bright canary yellow. provided by joint contributions of king, princes, nobles and commoners- When the king goes in the royal throne barge to present the robes in person he does so with great pomp and cere, mony. The priestly garments, folded in bundles, ire carried to the door of the temple to await the appearance of his majesty and his suit. The king on arriving takes priestly robe and places it on a decorated altar. The chief priest then lays his hands on the garment and chants an acknowledg- ment.-Wide World Magazine.

Won by Ar Wit.

A story is told of an English clergy man who owed his appointment to rich living to a lucky pun. He was tutor to the son of a nobleman and had not long taken orders when he attended the funeral of the rector of the parish in which the nobleman's seat was situated. The father of his pupil was patron of the living and was also presents at sthes funeral of the deceased rector There was a young clergyman present also whose grief was so demonstrative that the noble patron was much affected by the sight and asked if the young man was a son of the deceased gentleman.
 ''Oh, dear, no, my lord-no relation at all," said the, tutorso f,s1srsuo fsss.
 "No relationn' excIafh6ed fine noble man in a surprised tone.
 None, my lord. He is the curate. and I think he is not weeping for the dead, but for the living"
 His lordship, who was something of a wit and a cynic himself, was so de lighted with the bonmot that he con- ferred the living upon the ready pun ster. .Hes gt teFeiu Ja Ti5s

 In his room Bob threw himself wearily into a chair by his desk and brooded hopelessly. He went over and ever the events of the past few weeks, listening again and again to PauPs bitter words of the afternoon. He relentlessly tore at his wounds un- til they gaped. taking a kind of sav- age joy in his self castigation.
 Just one thing more is needed" he said to himself bitterly. "I will get out of his way-out of her way"
 He seized a pen and began painfully to write.
 Then his eyes fell upon the telephone at his elbow. He dropped the pen and opened the directory
 At last he reused himself and sav- hook. Highland thirty thirty. Yes. Is that Highland thirty thirty? Will you call Mrs. Gilbert to the telephone? Robert McAdoo."
 There was a long wait during which all his will was needed to keep him at the telephone.
 This is Mrs. Gilbert" came the an- swer at last She need not have named herself. He recognized her voice. t "I am Robert McAdoo."
 ''Yes. MT. McAdoo."'
 Mrs. Gilbert'-the words were fore ed out painfully-"some time ago called on you about a certain matter. You may remember?"
 'I remember"
 'At that time objected to course of action which you had planned"- (Which you supposed had planned. MT. McAdoo," came the quick correc tion.
 "It makes ID difference. In either case what I said was. an unwarranted interference in matters that did not concern me. Are you still there?"
 'I am still here"
 ''I wish to say'-he dragged the words out slowly-I wish to say I withdraw my opposition finally and ab- solutely."

 'That is not necessary, MT. McAdoo."

 'That is not what I meant''-
 --"but I owe it to you and toto Paul Remington to make the with drawal. l wish to say that I do this of my own free will, not because of any threats made to me. Are you still there, Mrs. Gilbert?"
 Yes"
 sThere is another matter. I once said a brutal-a contemptible thing to you. You will remember that. I-I had no right to say that to you-no reason"
 "You had no right, Mir. McAdoo"
 "I-I apologize, Mrs. Gilbert That is all."
 "Mr. McAdoo! Can you hear me plainly? I don't dare to speak very loudly"
 "Yes."
 "Mr. McAdoo, there is a plot-a shameful trick. It concerns your cleo tion-and possibly MT. Remington. feel it my duty to warn you"-
 'Yes, I know.''
 'I am sure you cannot know of this that I speak of''-t
 "Yes. Mrs. Gilbert, I know of it. You have done your duty. You may now enjoy watching the plot work out. It will succeed. in my opinion. That is all.'
 "But, MT. McAdoo"-
 He hung up the receiver and slouch- ed back into his chair. His head throbbed violently. A roar like the far away thunder of the sea was in his ears. He was very tired
