present limitations, rabbits have mul-

present limita tions, rabbits have mul- ttplied until they have become al- most a plague. Their principal of fence. is the girdling of fruit trees. to which they are strongly addicted even when the ground is not snow covered. So far as known, they serve no useful purpose except as food; tSair belts are naxt to. valueless. bringing only a cent each and "slow sale" even at that price. Farmers bring the additionak charge that rab- bit hunters tear down, and do not reconstruct, their fences and this complaint is founded upon facts.
 The General Assembly would con- fer favor upon the agricultural pop ulation if, instead of protecting rab- bits, 1t should take the opposite course.

"2EMAKN5 4 RAILWAY"
Aim and Object of President Mellen in the New Eng
 land Field

'Rem aking a Railway: A Study in Efficiency is the story of the up- building of New E9g;and's transpor- tation sys-en1 interestingly told in a brochure just issued hy the New Eng land lines The author is Sylvester Baxter. secretary of the Metropolitan Improvement League of Boston. It is a reprint of an article which et- tracted much at ,eption in the Out look" and in its rresert form it con- tains considerable additional text and many new illustrations.
 The booklet tells interestingly how the unification was accomniisned; why 1t was necessary and what 1t means in the development of a greater New England The reconstruction of the New York. New Haven & Hartford Railroad and the Boston & Maine colossal undertaking. You will read in this booklet that s116 100000 has been srent in seven years for the sole purpose of obtaining ,ransportat tion efficiency in the railroad service of Southern New England.
 You will learn how this vast sum was expended: how the trackage was multiplied. how economy and effi- ciency have been obtained by con- structing tunnels. eliminating grade crossings. strengthening bridges and utilizing electricity as motive power.
 MT. MeNen's amhstion to extend the benefits of this unificstion to all parts of New England is told in detail. Im- provements involving an expenditure of at least s1o0.o0o. 600 within the rext five years are forecasted. synos>a- thetic word picture of President Nell len is included The au hor writes with genuine appreciation Of his sub- ject and describes NIT. Mellen as a man who is rre-eminently construc- tive intensivelv innee1native and gifted with rare foresight and visual izing power.

ed, presumably from carelessness in the handling of matches The loss consists of one horse that it was im- possible to rescue and two wagons, badly burned. The barn itself was also pretty badly destroyed. The loss is partially covered by insurance.
 Fishing Bills.
 Before the fish and game commits sion at Hartford, Tuesday, the use of eels racks in the Saugatuck and Lit tie R vers in the spring time was ob- jected to on the ground that trout and other fish are caught in them. Rep resentative Hallett, who introduced measure to permit catching bait fish in Highland Lake with net said that about half his constituents fa- yored it and about half opposed 1t. He left the matter there. and no one else spoke on It. A bill to prohibit fish ng in Bantam Rdver near Bantam I.abe and in Little Pond during Feb ruary March and April was opposed hv Representative Sedgwick of Litch- field.

CONNECT CUT HAS k0
 YlLlCW JOURNALISM.
Says Mrs. Sara T. Kinney, Honorary State Regent
 of D. A. R.

The luncheon of Melicept Porter Chapter, D. A. R., at The Elton in Waterbury Monday afternoon was marked throughout by an absence of undue formality and a spirit or friendliness and hospitality that made it highly enjoyable. The quotations on the place cards. no two alike and many of them unfamiliar to many of the guests, furnished food for conver- sation at the various small tables. and much amusement was found In comparing notes and acknOwledging the fitness of many of them for those who received them.
 The address of Mrs. Sara T. Kin ney, whom Melicent Porter claims as an honorary member, was full of the playful humor which always charac- teriZes Mrs. Kinney on such an oc- casion, and at the end, as usual, she gave a few earnest words of counsel and advice to those who are still un der her affectionate, though not of ficfal supervision, dwelling especially on the influence to be exerted against yellow journalism, but saying there were no yellow journals among Con- necticut newspapers.
 Mrs. John T. Sterling compared herself to the minister who was said course because, after taking his text he went through all the world, to preach the gospel. She considered that George Washington had had all necessary attention paid to him. and that the D. A. R ideals and respon- abilities had been sufficiently set forth, by preceding speakers. She therefore spoke of the influence of women for good when rightly exerted and as an example of what they could do. told of the protest by the women of the Mary SiIliman Chapter of Bridgeport against the high steps of the trolley cars. Everyone. except the tall, strong men of the city, conn plained of inconvenience caused by them, and she shyly remarked that she felt sure all the officials of the Connecticut Company belonged to that class. She said however, that their protest and appeal had receiv- ed kind and courteous treatment al the hands of those company officials and that the question was now be- ing investigated.
 The luncheon closed at 5 p. m. The favors were hatchets labeled '1 Can not Tell a Lie," the handles contain ing small circular folding flag fans, cherry tree stumps and small drums Most O. the expected guests were present. in spite of the snow storm
 Present from Bridgeport were Mrs John T. Sterling and Mrs. B. P. Bull lard.

He present. ed his evidence to Prosecuting Attor- ney Fl ggins and asked that warrants be served on the propretors of three bootblack stands and eieht fruit and candy stores where he alleges the law was violated.

TOTAL ABSORPTION
 OF COURTS RECEIPTS

The total of the present salaries of Judge. Deputy Judge. Prosecute. As sistant Prosecutor. Clerk and Assist ant Clerk of the City Court. is s5.o00. In addition. the Judge and Deputy Ju6re are said to receive $750 each in fees year.
 As increased under bill pending fn the General Assembly. their salar- ies would aggregate $1o.200. or nearly double the present total-or if the s1.- 300 in fees be added thereto. more than double.
 During the year. from March 1. 1909, to March 1, 1910. the cash receipts from the court amounted to SIP 5o9-S or a surplus of $7.009.s7 over the ag- xregate of salaries, which passed into the city treasury.
 Under the proposed increase of sal aries. the surplus, provided the total of cash receipts remained the same to be turned into the city treasury would be but $2.309.S7. or less than one-half of the present amount and probably not more than enough to pay Other excenses of the court.
 There is always a struggle for these positions at the present salaries: they axe chased as prizes by the younsef lawyers. If there has ever been any difficulty In filling them with capable men ct the present salaries. 1t has not been noticed: in fact we may say that no such difficulty ever existed. The claimants have always been both numerous and clamorous.
 The proposed increases were not proposed through the regularly consti- tuted municipal authorities. and they are evidently based upon the principle of total absorption of the courts re- ceipts by the courts salaries and ex- pensee.
 In the Farmers judgment, the Gen. eral Assembly should not grant the ircreases-most assuredly not. unfess first approved ny the city as repre- sented by its Mayor and Board of AL dermen.

UNRESTRICTED JAPANESE NfMI-
 GRAFTON

The new Japanese treaty reported to the Senate by President Taft. to replace the present treaty which does not expire until July IT. 1912. does not contain the restrictions upon inn migration found in the latter but leaves this matter wholly to Japan which is expected. but not bound. to enforce the present limitations at her own ports. Tn other words. any im- migrants who are allowed to leave Japanese ports. must be received here and In all our dependencies. for in stance at Honolulu and Manila. This win render possible further large accessions to the already large Jap anese populations in our Far East dependencies to which attention has heretofore been called as ominous in the possible event of war. It is easy to understand that Japan which now calls herself civilized power. objects to the classification of her subjec.s with the Chinese as undesirable imrni- grants. but there may be more than a matter of natural pride in the case. There Is some reason to believe that Japan looks with covetous eyes upon
 
 treaty. the Japanese government could pour. under the disguise of inn migrants. an army into Manila. behind our allegedly impresnable fortifica- ttons.
 Our Pacific coast and some of our Western States will antagonize the proposed treaty. In those sections, there has long been strong opposition to Japanese immigration. and il will be intensified by the treaty's relega- tfon of the privilege of imposing limi- tations of immigration exclusively to the Japanese government
 It would scarcely be surprising if the Senate should reject the new treaty. in which event renewed predic- lions of war with Ja~an would be speedily heard. Ordinarily. however, governments do not regard the rejec- tfon of a treaty as a casus belli but if Japan should consider the affront to national pride a sufficient warrant for hostiiities. the outbreak would un- doub .edly antedate the opening of the Panama canal.
