MANAGER BETS TO TAKE A NEW
 PHONE OFFICE In Point of Service is Worlds Oldest Telephone Exchange
 Manager Is to Become Special Agent Connected With General
 Offices of Company

George E. Belts, manager of the Southern New England Telephone Exchange in this city, and in point of service the oldest telephone manag- CT in the world, on July will assume new position in the company with which he has been so long connected.
 The new position is that of special agent, connected with the general of flee, and MT. Betts will have impor- tant powers delegated to him from the general office. His work will be largely along the line of advancing and extending the service of the com. pany. He will be succeeded in his present office by W. w. Knight. who for the past year has been assistant general manager of the Bridgeport of- flee.
 While not many Bridgeporters are aware of the fact, the two oldest tele- phone exchanges in the world are lo- cated at Bridgeport and New Haven. The Elm City exchange is about two months older than the local one. They were established in 1878 and were the first practical application of the tele- phone anywhere on the globe.
 The original manager of the New Haven exchange is dead, but the ori- ginal manager of the local exchange. MT. Betts, is alive and active, and is thus the oldest living telephone ex- change manager.

Second Regiment
 Band Plays In
 City On Saturday
No Sunday Concerts Until July 1.-Two on July 4th and
 One Tonight

There will be no more Sunday con- certs until July Is, on which date the Coast Artillery Corps band will play at Beardsley park.
 On Saturday of this week, the Sec- ond Regiment Band of New Haven will play a concert at Beardsley Park at 3 20. m. Many people erroneously suppose that this concert is to be played on Sunday. but Saturday has been selected as the date. The Sat- urday half holiday will give lots of working people a chance to take their families to the park and hear this famous musical organization.
 Tonight the Coast Artillery Corps band will repeat at Washington Park the very excellent concert which it re- gently gave at Seaside park.
 On July Fourth there will be two band concerts: one at 3 D. m. at Beardsley park by the Wheeler & Will son band, and the other at p. m. at Seaside park by the Coast Artillery Corps band.
 Aside from the Sunday concert on July IS. no Sunday concerts have as yet been arranged by the park board. They will be arranged from time to time. Attention is again called to the fact that the much -heralded concert by the New Haven band in this city. will take place in Beardsley park on Saturday.

WEDDED IN. TEN DAYS AFTER SHE
 GOT A DIVORCE
Wanted to Retain Her Husbands Name When Judge Burpee
 Granted the Decree
But She Didn't Retain it Long, Although Still Having Af-
 lection For Him

Ten days from the time that she stood in the Superior court in this city, and professed love for the hus- band she was divorcing,-even asking the judge to let her retain his name Mrs. Fanueil D. Stein Bethune went to the altar and exchanged the name Bethune for Holland.
 On Friday. June g, she obtained a divorce from her first husband on the ground of cruelty, and made the ex- planation mentioned to Judge Lucien Burpee in the Superior court here,- 'interrupting her lawyers, who were asking that she be permitted to re- Sume her maidenaname.
 On Monday, June 19, at Washing ton, D. C., she welded R. Holland with the customary promise ''to love, honor and obey"
 Mrs. Holland Is the daughter of Will liam Jenner, a wealthy New York lawyer, who has a summer home at Ridgefield, Ct. Her former husband is also a practicing lawyer in New York
 Mr. and Mrs. Bethune were welded at Grace church chantry, N. r., in 1900 They were both engaged in s. P c. A. work, and Mrs Bethune came to be
 
 Her husband was also famed for his kindness to animals.
 He may have been kind to animals, but he was not so to his wife, accord ing to her testimony here, and her divorce was obtained on the ground of intolerable cruelty. She testified that her husband had shut her out of their apartments in a New York ho- tel, that he had threatened her with a pistol, and had been so cruel to her as to injure her health.
 In 1908 he left her. He went to Buffalo, N. Y.,. and from there tele- phoned to her that she was not to attempt to follow him. Fearing that he was mentally aberrated, she set Pinkerton detectives on his trail. with instructions to try to bring him back.
 Why did you want him again, if he was cruel to you?" asked Judge Burpee.
 Mrs. Bethune admitted that she still felt an affectionate feeling for him.
 R. Holland, her new husband, is about his wife's age, 29. He is a son of the eminent Carnegie institute paleontologist and authority on but terflies, Dr. William Jacob Holland He is a painter, taught at Julians' in Paris, and has shown distinct prom ise.
 The couple will sail for Paris today or tomorrow. and will make their home there.

BANKS FIGHTS DESPERATELY TO DELAY ACTION ON
 HUDSON UTILITIES BILL

myself. I consider the criticism ol Speaker Scott for breaking the tie In favor of the House bill, by some of 1 the press, to have been outrageous He certainly should be given the credit for doing his duty as he saw It.. The Bridgeport Post published q roll Of honor of men who voted and stood for the minority bill. At least two of those men told me personally that they were opposed to the bill, although they voted for 1t. What kind of an honor roll is that? [ want my position to be perfectly un- derstood I would vote for the Jud- son bill rather than to see no bill pass but l believe that there may De chance of getting a constitutional Dill Ii we could adhere and ask for a conference with the Senate" He then quoted a recent decision of the Supreme court written by Justice George W. Wheeler of Brideeport .r the case of Norton vs. the Shore Line Electric Railway Co. in which, he said. the very point at issue in tf1e question before the House was passed upon adversely, which clearly fore shadowed what the Supreme court would do if the Judson bill were passed and taken to court.
 Representative Meltzer of Bridgeport made the point that the Banks motion was out of order on the ground that the House would first have to pass "oIo duuerlHg to US IOrmer action in passing the Banks bill before there would be disagreement between the two houses and before commftfee on conference could be asked for. Eth CT that. said Meltzer, or we must re- consider our former vote
 Representative Lester o. Peck of Bedding declared that Banks was not acting in good eith; that he had agreed and given his solemn word to support the minority bill if the Senate rejected his bill. He said such a. thing was nothing short of repudfa- tion by Banks of his word. He also questioned the statement made by Representative Hall of Wilmington that Senator Judson and Attorney Ralph O. Wells of the Business Mems Asso- cition had said to him that they would favor the appointment of a commit tee on conference Subsequently Mr. Hall corrected the statement by say ing what Wells had meant. was that there would be no objection to an fr- formal conference of those for and against the bill.

TRANSFER SHOT BY POLICEMAN
 WITH ONE ARM

In addition to being shot in the left thigh by Special Policeman Zephyr Menier, a nightwatchman in East Bridgeport. George Mason was sen- fenced to jail for 60 days for resis- tance to an officer and for drunken ness, when tried before Judge Wilder in the city court today.
 Mason and Menier had a row that attracted a large crowd early last evening at Nichols and Kossuth street, after Menier had vainly at tempted to place Mason out of harms S way. In the row Menier, who is of powerful physique but handicapped by having but one arm, drew his pistol and fired one shot at Mason. It in- f1icted a flesh wound that is not ex- pected to prove serious
 Mason was intoxicated in a door, way when Menier started on his reg u1ar nightly rounds about o'clock He helped Mason down to the foot of Nichols street. placed him in se- cluded spot to sleep off his jag, and started away when Mason's brother, Will, came on the scene. Will helped the brother to his feet, and then the drunken man attacked the officer. John Clark, known also as "Blocky'' who lives at 134 Hallam street, mixed up in the fight. Menier fired at Ma son, then Clark snatched the pistol from him.
 Menier then placed Clark under ar rest, and with Clark occasionally threatening to shoot him, he marched Clark several blocks toward the Sec ond precinct station. Menier was un- armed, and Clark had the pistol. At length Clark insisted that Menier should take back the weapon, but the policeman refused. Then Clark broke away, and was later arrested and the pistol was taken from him.
 Clark was fined s1 and costs and sentenced to jail for 60 days for in reference. Mason's lengthy police record, despite his youth, didn't help him any in court. He has been ar rested for a variety of offenses, though only P years old He and Clark are fellow teamsters, Mason's home is at 481 Pembroke street.

Though Twice Defeated on Test Vote, Labors with House to Secure Adher- ence to Banks Bill. Scores Newspapers for Their Manhandling of Speaker AScott, Whose Vote on Tie Prevented Passage of Judson Bill. Reiterates Claim that Courts Will Declare All Measures But His Uncon- stitutional-House Lead CTS Motion for Committee of Conference Beaten 129 to 1O8-Minority Bill Taken from Table.
 
(From Our Special Corres.)


 Hartford, June 27-Twice beaten in test votes on the Public Utilities question in the House today, House Leader Elmer s. Banks of Fairfield began a fiIibuster' against the con- sideration of the Minority bill, which has passed the Senate and is exhaust ing all of his parliamentary resources to prevent the consideration of the bill by the House today. This too, bers of the House that if the Senate rejected his bill he would pitch in and help pass the Minority bill
 When the debate opened on the question today, Judge Banks said that there were two courses open to proce- called. and then take from the ta- ble the Minority or Senate bill and pass that; the other course was for the House to adhere to it's action in passing the a.Dendn1ent which bears his name, and ask for a committee of conference on the part of the Sem ate.
 Banks said he believed the latter course to be the best one to pursue in view of all the circumstances. Then he said
 ."The other day in the. debate on this question in the House I made the statement that if the Senate fail- ed to pass the bill amended which supported, providing the House pass ed it. I would votes for the Judson bill, so called, without any amend ment. Just so sure as I expect to see the Fall follow the Summer. I expect to see the Judson bill, if it is passed, be declared unconstitutional by the courts. Some august Senator has said that this question is a fight be- tween Senator Judson and myself. This is not so. While I have never from expressing my opinion of Senator Judson I will do him the credit in this matter to say that I believe he is sincere and that he is no more politically ambitious than
