NUMEROUS EXCUSES BY
PROSPECTIVE JURORS
TALES or WOE POURED INTO
THE UNSYMPATHETlC EARS
OF JUDGE CHEADLE.


Judge Cheadle spent an hour or
more this morning listening to the
various and ofttimes ingenious ex-
cuses cooked up by bunch Of local
business men who were this week sub
poenaed for jury service. The story
Of some Of the boys would have wrung
tears from a piece of flint rock, but
His Honor. being just human being
peals with all OF their variations, shed
no tears. Instead, he, in most cases,
firmly but gently told the prospective
jurors that there was nothing doing.
One well-knOWn accountant under,
took TO take it out on John Ritch,
whose duty it is to pick the names
from the box containing the list Of
the qualified electors. This aggrieved
gentleman expressed his opinion In a
somewhat vigorous fashion Of q clerk
OF the court who would pick on a.
book-keeper just at the chose Of the
month with hundreds Of monthly
statements to be made cut John
sardonically rejoiced that he had not
picked out any real bOOk-keeDers, just
an imitation or two. Judge Cheadle
states that it is highly gratifying to
learn that business conditions are SO
flush in this city. Every one of q half
dozen or more local business men who
went before him this morning stated
that things in their particular line
We're simply overwhelming and re-
quired their immediate and constant
To some OF them he re-
ferred the statements of several Chi
cago millionaires, who recently sat on
a petit jury, to the effect that such a
service is really educational. After 1t
was all over the Judge remarked that
the small boy who has buried his
and all of the rest of his
near relatives during the base ball
season and still racks his brain for
further excuses for getting an after
noon of, could pick up some valu-
able pointers by sitting for an hour
on morning like this in the cham
bers of judge of the district court.

Senator Fem doubted the decision
of the chair that the resolution was
not tabled. ~
Lieut.. Gov. Blakeslee said that sew
eral times in the session he had held
that no doubt would be entertained
when there was no doubt in the mind
of the chair, but as this was New
Haven matter in which he was very
deeply interested, he would not let
this question of doubt pass without
acceding to the request for count.
The doubt was not pressed, however,
as rising vote would have shown no
quorum Senator Peck again took the
resolution had come in without ex-
PLANTATION. He said:
1--WE are doing so many strange
things in the Senate that no one can
tell what is in the under current.
Probably the Senator from the Eigh-
teenth could tell. I hope this will
go over until tomorrow. We will be
in better temper then. We are all
worried oyer the Connecticut River
matter" His motion to adjourn was
laid upon the table upon motion Of
Senator Donovan. !.
The latter said that he had favored
Judge Matthewson. He did not know
what was in the air but thought q
"deal'' was on. If there was "deaP',
ne InOuRnL II I1uSC DC COTTupt JIG.
He said a conference committee had
been appointed, but this resolution
seemed to- override that committee.
ga Rotten Deal,
Senator Paddock lsaid that this twas
a DEAL might add, a rotten deal, if
I may use those words. I am wise
to it but am not a party to it. 1 did
not vote for Matthewson, but I did
not give the reasons why at that time.
I will give them now. Certain oyster
men living in my district came to me
and said they were opposed to Judge
Mathewson because of certain acts Of
his when he was shell fish commits
sioner. That is the reason why I
did not vote for him." Senator Peck
thanked Mr.. Paddock for giving a
reason for not voting for Judge Math-
ewson and said he would vote for Mr..
Webb
Mr.. Fem wanted Senator Mitchell
to explain what had been termed a
"deaI'' which brought the resolution
into the Senate at this time. SEN
ator Mahan rose to say that Senator
Mitchell had had no reason to offer
applogy for his act. He was perfect
" within his rights to offer the reso-
hItion A member in the House has
offered, a resolution with another name
on it but that was no reason why
Mr.. Mitchell had to take the same
resolution.
The resolution was passed and re-
consideration refused.

OYSTERMEN START DREDGING
Effort to Postpone the Opening of the
Season Failure.
Especial to The Farmer)

Stratford, Sept. 2o-The law allows
dredging on the natural oyster beds
beginning today and lasting until the
goth day of next July. The set, while
very small yet, is unusually plentiful.
1t must be replanted very soon after
taken from the water on account of
the warm weather. The tender young
oyster soon dies if allowed to remain
on deck in the hot sun. 1t has been
suggested that dredging be postponed
by general agreement among the ''na-
tural growthers'' for another week as
has been done in previous years but
such an arrangement is not likely.
The Stratford men engaged in the in
dustry are all ready to begin work
having taken out their licenses.
