FUTURE NEW HAVEN.

The first letter in the series that
the Journal-Cour!er is publishing to
sum up the complete and exhaustive
report on the City Beautiful Investi-
cations is printed herewith:
The citizens of New Haven are ia
miliar with the fact that the city is
growing rather rapidly, and that it is
changing character as it grows. For
this reason it is important not only
to consider what is needed for the
proper performance of the functions
now imposed upon streets and parks
and the whole physical equipment of
the municipality, but also in a great
measure to forecast the inevitable de-
mands Of the future greater city.
In order to estimate what the fu-
ture character and extent of the city
will probable be-, it is needful to con-
slider it's past and to compare 1t with
cities that have gone through a SIM
liar history and already reached
greater development.
The matter of first Importance is
the population. Ronald M. Byrnes in
a careful compilation of statistical
information concerning New Haven
and each Of it's several wards, pre-
diets the probable doubling Of the
present population of New Haven in
about the next rs years, and popu-
lation of about. 100000 by the year
1850. It is more likely than not that
the end of the goth century will find
New Haven Green the center of a
metropolitan population of about 1,50O,
900, substantially the situation of Bos-
ton Commons to-day.
This is a fairly long look ahead, yet
in those improvements which are OF
permanent effect it would be folly for
the city to ignore the requirements OF
this great future population.

MUST PAY CONTRACTORS
BILL A SECOND time

Establishing a rule of law of great
interest to contractors especially a
judgment handed down by Judge
Wolfe in the New Haven court of
Common Pleas yesterday. in favor of
the Lampson Lumber Company, will
force Robert B. Penn to pay a con-
tractors bill a second time because
the first payment had not been made
in accordance with agreements The
judgment followed the suit brought
by the Lampson Lumber Company to
recover from Robert B. Penn a part
of the contract bill. The suit re-
suited from the payment made by
Penn. who was building the house,
before the date set in the contract.
The judgment yesterday made a rul-
ing of law that sum paid on a con-
tract before the date set in the con-
tract for payment. is not in good
faith, unless all of the sub-contrac-
tors are notified five days in adj
vance.
The Lampson Company was given
a judgment on these grounds to re-
cover s2SS.9S from Penn. The money
that Penn paid. amounting to s15S55,
does not count in the contract.

ASSALS u. S. DETECTIVES
Judge Holt Attacks Methods
of Securing Prosecutions

New York. Feb. 15-Methods used
by government agents to get evidence
upon which to conduct prosecutions
for violations of the pure food and
drug act were attacked yesterday by
Judge Holt in the United States Cir
cult Court. He suspended sentence in
the case of Joseph A. Peck and JOS
eph H. Velsor, members Of the drug
firm Of Peck & Velsor, No. Gold
street, who had entered pleas Of gull
ty to charges that in October 1909,
they had shipped to the Coffin, Red
dington company in San Francisco.
CAL. SIENNA and belladonna leaves and
ground tumeric, which the government
contended had been adulterated and
differed from the standard strength Of
purity.
When an assistant Federal District
Attorney, Abel L Smith. said that the
drugs had been ordered and purchas-
ed by Government agents so as to
obtain legal evidence that the law was
being violated, Judge Holt took occa-
sion to express his opinion as to the
propriety of getting evidence in that
way.

prets the agreement with Canada as
a plot of the special interests to
allay the countrywide clamor for an
honest revision of the tariff 1t is
undoubtedly true that at first glance
the agreement appears to bear more
severely upon agricultural than; man
ufacturing interests. but close consid-
Grafton shows that the prices Of what
may be called ''raw materials Of
agricultural production-cattle. grain.

down."
If, as the Grange says, the manu-
facturers are seeking free raw mater
iels. and if the farmers demand re-
duction or repeal of duties on manu-
features. the day of promise for the
consumer may be dawning.

CONTROL OF LOBBY.
(hnson,a Sentinel,

(AnSOn1a Sentlnel.)
The stiles Judson bill which is said
to be ''aimed at the lobby seems
calculated to hit the evil by way of
regulation and publicity rather than
by obliteration. 1t does not seek to
deny representation to any interest
whatsoever, but it specifies that lob
byists, or agents, shall be duly regis
tered upon a docket kept by the Sec
rotary of state. These entries, also
must include the name of the person
or firm employing the agent, or lob
byist, also the titles of legislative
measures which they, as agents, are
employed to favor or oppose The
measure also provides that unless an
agent is registered with the state Sec
rotary in this manner he shall not be
permitted to appear before a legisla-
tive committee as counsel for any in
terest whatsoever. There are a num-
Der of other provisions included VIII ch

thought on the part of the author Of

are sufficiently heavy to make the way
of the transgressor both disagreeable
and expensive.

HONEST CAPITALIZATION.
(Hartford Times.)

Governor Baldwin is inclined to re-
gret the repeal of the general railroad
law on the ground that it is safe
guard to have a provision which per-
mits anybody to build railroad any
where, provided he put in honest mon
ey, and did honest construction work,
and paid a fair price for his franchise.
But this is by the way. We take
his main point to be that the great
concessions made in charters for pub
lie utilities and sometimes to private
corporations should be paid for by
those who enjoy their benefits, and
in some way-by competition or direct
regulation-the performance of public
service by an incorporated association
should be assured to the people. This
can be accomplished through a stat
ute which regulates organization un-
der a general law, with a conImi ssi on
to see that the organization is strictly
according to the law, and that being
organized it does its work adequate
ly. Is there any better means of Sc
curing honest capitalization and eff
cient service? And is it not the duty
of the state to require both?

Fined for Carrying
Obscene Postcards

Middletown, Feb. 1.-two obscene
postal cards, which he was carrying
in his pocket, cost Tony Slavokoski,
$40 in the city police court yesterday
morning. He was arrested Sunday
morning shortly after midnight by
Officers J. Dunn and Melin Officer
Dunn was making an arrest, and Tony
butted in,. SO he was arrested also,
charged with interfering with an Off
Ger, and intoxication. When the of
ficers came to search him at police
headquarters, they found in one of
his pockets two h gh art postal cards.
They were about the worst that ever
came to light around here, and the
policemen blushed when they saw
them. On the charge of intoxication,
Tony was fined S. and costs, for inter-
fering with the officer he was fined
So so with the additional $50 for car
rying the cards, it was a bad night
for Tony, from a financial standpoint.

FORB.DS CAMPUS SMCK NC
Chancellor Of Syracuse Can't
See Why Students Do It

Syracuse, N. Y, Feb. 15-Chance1lor
James R. Day, strongly lectured the
male students of Syracuse unirersi ty
on the use of tobacco yesterday. He
said the rule against students smoking
on the campus would be strictly en-
forced. Among other things Chancel-
lor Day said:
"I don't understand the use Of to-
bacco. They used to roll UP sugar in
cloth and give it to babies, and now
the young men in college roll tobacco
in paper to calm their nerves. The
use of tobacco by young men Is ply.
sically harmful, and this is the verdict
of the medical profession. I will stand
for the little love- sickness Of the stu
dents, but smoking I will not stand
for.'
