 Col. Roosevelt urged the necessity of stopping labor in tenements and of supporting labor unions because 'there can be no hope for the redress of wrongs upon an afflicted section of the community until some power is lodged in the hands of the persons afflicted with which to fight back. " The matter of tenement labor brought Col. Roosevelt to the subject of the courts and certain judges.
 ''I regret to say," he commenced in slow, emphatic tones, shaking his right arm toward the gallery, ''that owing to hurtful and mischievOus ju- dicial decisions New York State stands far behind where it ought to stand.
 ''I said I was for labor unions, be- cause I believe in them, when they are right. But I have no more fear

No man is a friend of the people who iS afraid to speak out against any one section of the people when that section is going dead wrong. When I speak out against certain court de- cisions N does not mean that l am against the courts. I respect them entirely, and I want to say for our judges that, as a class, they excel any other class in devotion and loyalty and in sound thinking.
 "But experience has shown that peo- pie may be aroused, and legislative and executive officers may show the intention of carrying out the peoples purposes, and yet the whole movement for good may come to naught, and fostering wrong and injustice may be perpetuated because certain judges, certain courts, are Steeped in some outworn political philosophy and total ly misapprehend their relations to the people and the public needs.

FIND OF SEA ELEPHANTS, Expedition Discovers Species, Thought Extinct, in Lower California,

Los' Angeles, Cal, Oct 21-Pingree l. Osborn, who has been acting as guide to the expedition of the Ameri- can Museum of Natural History of New York, has returned from Lower California with information of the dis covery son the island of Guadalupe of several herds of sea elephants of a variety hitherto unknown except to archaeologists.
 It has long been supposed this spe- cies of sea elephants was extinct, but we not only saw big herds of them on the islands but shot two" he said. They are enormous animals, and shaggy and apparently harmless. The largest herd contained at least fifty animals. The largest of the two we shot was twenty-one feet in length and stood more than eighteen feet high.''
 The explorers of the little-known peninsula of Lower California have had at their disposal the U $. A. Albatross with which to examine the coast line and adjacent islands The exploration has already covered a period Of six months, and the Albatross which has gone to San Francisco to dispose of it's cargo, is laden with the bones and skins of many hitherto unknown anil mals.

 The water from a spring under the new Futile building broke through the cement bottom of the cellar last short time. The problem of keeping the water out of the cellar is more serious than was at first supposed. Some method must be developed to relieve the, pressure. Unless this is done experts say that it will be im- possible to construct anything of con- crete that will resist the force of the water under the building.

The Barnum avenue trolley has added to the activity here also and there has been large in- crease in the number of houses. A person who has not visited the Sec ton for six months would hardly re- cognize his surroundings today. The lower part of the town has also de- veloped without any additional i'm centive The Avon Park district which has been put on the market for sale is being rapidly disposed of. All that is needed is little pushing and lots sell like hot cakes. Hamil- ton park which land still for years is now in charge of J. J. Jordan who developed section of Hollister Heights. The property is owned by Zalmon Goodsell who is surprised at the sales this spring. Sixty lots have been sold this season. The coming of the new factories in the east end of Bridgeport has increased the de- mand for homes in this vicinity. The buyers of these lots are desirable citi- zens who are seeking homes. Strat- ford should welcome this class and make it as attractive as possible Tor the new corners. The town must take into consideration this large increase and be prepared to furnish school facilities, first and such other inn provements as will be demanded. This element must be taken into consid. eration in the future and the old policy usually followed in country towns must be abandoned and effort made to keep pace with events
