Thirteen Fishermen
 Return from Deep with
 Tales of Huge Hauls

Frank Mills. owner of the hand somely equipped launch Hattie, enter tained a thirteen fishing parity yes- terday. He selected the unlucky day and invited the unIucky number to give defiance to the popular supersti- t1on of ill luck. and the stories of the good fortune brought home by the thirteen fishermen bear out Mills contention that there is nothing to the time honored tradition.
 Dennis E. O'Nedl, clerk of the Board of Charities, and Electrician Sheridan Ladd of the Police Department, were made auditors, but their tally of the total catch has not yet been verified. ONeil's estimate was 513 harbor blues, while Lladd places the figure at 529
 In the parity of 13 besides Mills and the auditors were Alderman Daniel E. Walker, Charles Hinman, Frank Rantz, Phil Onl1ey, Matthew Maloney, Robert Farrell, former Alderman James B. Burnes, former Sheriff Thomas J. Cunningham, Wier Colds borough, and Louis Brock-of- course.
 Sergeant Clayton l.. Smith, clerk of the Police Department, went on a fishing cruise after harbor blues yes- terday. He and two others report a total catch of 160. They fished near Milford.

Says Marx Tried
 To Burn Furniture
Lawyers Who Oppose Old
 Man's Release from San itarium Make Sensational Charges.

Claiming that Rafeal Marx had pill ed furniture in a heap and threatened to set it afire, Attorneys tDeForest & Klein appeared in the superior court today to protest against Marx being freed from Dr. Merchants sandtari- um in Westport The lawyers on be- half of Sigmund Hirschberg, son-in- law of Marx, claim the old man is insane and too dangerous to be at large. Marx denies he is insane and retained Attorneys Lavery & Finkle- stone to have him released from the sanitarium.
 Judge Howard J. Curtis heard evil dJence in the matter this morning. Dr. A. R. Diefendorf, the noted alienist who has testified in numerous cases, was produced by counsel for Marx. Dr. Diefendorf testified that he visit ed the sanitarium and examined the patient He thought Marx was. sane.
 On cross examination the a1ienist when asked told various things Marx was said to have done. These included attempting to set fire to furniture, threatening to shoot his wife and threatening to take his own life. It was also charged that Marx had ap- preached stranger who wore a fur coat and had insisted upon giving him money, declaring that the stranger was a. lawyer. The lawyer wanted to know if the doctor would consider Marx sane If he had known these facts. The witness replied that he would have taken the facts into consideration.
 Dr.. D. W. Mcfarland of the sani- tarium said Marx had improved in physical condition since arriving at the institution. He didntt think the old man had shown any mental inn provement The witness said it was a case of senile mania. In cases of this kind bad memory is a characteristic A man will recall incidents of his boy hood days but cannot remember what he had for breakfast.
 Marx is about 80 years old. He was formerly a junk dealer and acquired considerable property before he retir- ed His family declares he has given them considerable trouble in recent years. Sigmund Hirschberg resides at AS Sanford avenue.
 The hearing was still going on at press hour.

 Channel and Is Caught at Low Tide

Drifting out of the channel in Bridgeport harbor by force of tide and wind while at zhchor,. the U. s. train ing ship Machias was hard and fast on the mud flats this morning. Al low water, her water line was several feet above the surface and she was plainly. resting on the mud
 This embarrassing situation came about yesterday when there was a strong wind blowing toward Steeple- chase. Before the officers of the ves- sel realized any change in the pasition of the Machias she had drifted over the mud flats of Maj. Harry Taylor celebrated botEe-necked outer harbor When the tide went out she was hard and fast
 No difficulty was anticipated in free ing her at high tide this afternoon, but she was a prisoner while the water was low. An attempt will be made to free her by her own power with steam winches and kedge anchors. This failing, some tug boats may be brought into play.

Gov. HadIey Wants State To Rule 0n
 Railroad Rates
By This Right of Regulation Only Gan the States Keep Railroad Companies From Ex- acting Exorbitant Tribute From the People
(Special from United Press.) )

Spring Lake, N. d., Sept. 14--One of the greatest victories for the American woman,s suffrage movement was re- corded when the House of Governors granted Dr. Anna Shaw permission to address the assem blaze for 30 minutes, today. The victory was due in a large measure to the efforts of the Cover nors of the five equal franchise states who, are all ardent sympathizers with the cause. - ~ ssWhy shouldn't women voter" de- manded Governor Hay, of Washington. When you marry you think a Lot of your wife, otherwise you wouldn't mar ry her. Therefore, she has just as much right to vote as you have. Wom- en do the right thing every time and it will be only a few years until every state has granted them suffrage"
 Following a statement that the state regulation of intra-state commerce was one of the most important, if not the most important question with which the supreme court of the United States has had to deal in recent years, Governor Hadley of Missouri, today, strongly advocated giving each state the right to make mules governing rail- road rates within it's border.
 eff the right of regulation of the
 
 denied the several states" said the Governor, "then there will be enjoyed by the railroad companies the right to fix intra-state rates of transportation free from any supervision or regula- ton. And thus they win be enabled to levy tribute upon the people of the several states, the amount of which will be limited only by their own necessity or desire for gain.
 'sRailroad rates in this country are fixed more often upon the value than upon the cost of the service rendered. And in actual practice, as any rail- road official will readily admit, rail- road rates. are fixed, except when af- fected by special conditions of regula- traffic will bear That is, they are fixed as high as will not prevent freight from being shipped at all.'
 After making the assertion that 'it costs less to ship freight from New York to San Francisco, than it does to ship freight from New York to Denver" Governor Hadley predicted supreme court would deny she right of intra-stAte regulation when the question is brought before that body, next winter.
 .4I,he laws regulating marriage and divorce, the conduct of public service corporations and ordinary business af- fairs; judicial procedure; laws regulat- ing the powers of labor and promoting the health and safety of those who per form it, all are primarily questions with which the states must deal if they are to be effectively dealt with at all The field is broad one and the work is one which has in it the destinies of a people, because it con cerns their happiness and welfare. But GoI ho ovrl power to discharge this duty to hu- marity easily given.''
 Governor Hadley said he did not be- lieve government ownership and opera ton of railroads was a solution of the problem.

Their hope is in political expression through the Soc ialist party, he said The main body of workers were too poor to support Cnionism but casting a ballot for Socialism cost nothing except the ef- fort to educate oneself, argued Foley. His word pictures of the hopelessness of the workers in Reading, Pa, and other Pennsylvania towns brought tears to the eyes of the delegates.
 The announcement of Timothy A. Flanagan's candidacy for president .s said to have threatened a split in the ranks of the conservatives. State Organizer John J. O'Neil, of Bridge port had friends who urged him for the nomination.

Especial from United Press.)

Spring Lake, N. J., Sept 14A-In a fierce arraignment of the "autocratic and unreasonable'' action of Justice States Circuit Court, Governor Aldrich, of Nebraska today. pointed out to the House of Governors circumstances which he said explained the cIamor for the recall of judges.
 Aldrich spoke on the regulation of interstate railroad rates and based his attack on Sanborn upon the repeated decisions of that judge in such cases
 Commencing with a brief history of the Nebraska railroad commission, and the statement that, in the four years of its existence not one complaint had been made against it's rulings, either by shipper Or by the roads them selves, the Governor said:,
 '1f the learned justice had had the same experience with railway commis- sions that the people have had with certain courts in nullifying the state government, he might have been war ranted in assuming the position that he did in enjoining the state offices from the enforcement of the law re- garding the state railway commission ''
 History, fact and precedent are against his position. There is no case anywhere to be found that upholds his dissent in the opinions of the other two judges and such a position asx he took in that case may well be regard ed as the source and origin of that stand
 When court decisions disturb and even override entire schemes of gov- ernment 1t is time to call halt and cast about ourselves for remedy to check corporation that may, in the near future, develop into gaIling tyr- amy if allowed to go unchallenged.
 'Tf this indefensible position of Jus tice Sanborn in the Nebraska cast were the only one he had taken in this class of litigation, we might pass it by with all charity and say it was simply mistake, simply an inexpli- cable error of Judgment. But when this gentleman renders decision along the same lines in each and every case, we are justified in saying that he be- lieves in nullifying, by court decisions, the sove seign power of each of these states.
 ""I do not know what other states may do so, I do not know what other states may think, but Tscanaspeak for my own state. and say that she de- mands the right and privilege to be

allowed to do the things which her sovereignty. her independence and her liberty says she may do.
 At all times she asks these courts to do homage to the scheme of rep resentatlive government and let the courts remember that tyranny, when clothed in the garb of judicial ernf1e mas features as hideous as though in the hands of Czar.
 : The position that this judge takes IS not only autocratic, but he has rof given one single authority in the whole realm of jurispT1ndence upou Which to base such dissenting iopfn- non It would have been Interesting had the learned judge written an opinion on this proposition. but he was content simply to dissent with out giving reasons.
 Tn my opinion, any court, whether 1t be the United States Supreme Court or a court of inferior jurisdiction. which continually makes effort by fu- dfcial decisions to do that which inc people and the people alone have a right to do, is trying to establish a Judicial tyranny. A
 .sAnd here I might suggest tf,af. if the courts in considerinx a proposs- ton as to how a State law is ssub- stantdaa interference. with fntra-Stats commerce. would, in the first instance. tAy DO iuh1 Tc<tSOllS to Up11ei0 the law instead of looking at it like Robert angersoh read the Bibie-sffnpIy to crfticse and overthrow-more rat1s- factory results would follow
 Decisions such as these remind me of the old theological proposftfons that were considered back fin tl,s 1st17 century. Among ether soua-stirrfr,c questions debated by the learned clergy of that time was: How mary angels can dance on the point of 2. needle
 That question has never been sef- tied. and neither will the much moot ed question of today when the rirbtg of these States in controgztnx pure5y intra-State commerce be fixed by de< cdsions so warped and predudiced ar to be nothing short of lfbe1s on fhf name of the judiciary
 There is a court opdn51n that 1oes out of it's way to bring in isolated 5r-, stances and totally ignores the we1xI12 of authority wherein ft has been f1e}6 by orr Syz sme CtAzt Chat a xtat~ railway committee may. compel aa1 interstate train to stop at certain stations within a State or may cz1anas its tune schedules to make connertfor. with other trains and many other things O. a like nature"

 i Interest at the Island still centers | largely in the ball room where the ex- hibits of portrait work of the leading photographic artists in this country l (which means the world) are shown. Several of the largest portraits ever l taken are on exhibition here, the pro ducts of the W. s. Lively & Sons stu dio at McMinniville, Tennessee.
 These portraits, which measure from ! 10 to 16 square feet of surface, are per- | feet in the minutest detail. That is 1 because they are direct contact prints | taken from plate negatives the same size as the print, and not enlarged from a small negative, as is the case with most big pictures
 The direct contact process allows o1 | a clarity of outline and perfection o1 | detail which is lost in the enlargins | process, if the enlargements arc brought up' to any great extent In order to take these huge pictures the Livelys constructed a special camera, out of an old packing box and put a fine lens in front of it. The plates were made to order for the work 1 One of the finest individual exhibits | in the collection is that of J. H, Garc of Boston, president of the association Mir.

 Bridgeport photographers are vel represented in the exhibition. J. P Haley has some portraits which arc the subject of universal praise. His son, R. Duane Haley is also an exhi- | bitor. and his works show that artis- tic individuality which makes fol greatness. He is hailed as a coming
