THE MEANING OF THE
 PUBLIC UTILITIES BILL

What is the meaning of the strug- gle over public utilities legislation waged at Hartford? It is part of the great struggle between democracy and privilege in progress throughout the world, and maintained with great vigor and fierceness in the United States. The first and most important ques- ton involved is, who controls the government of Connecticut, the rail- roads and special privilege corpora tions, or the people.
 The defeat of the public utilities bill, or the passage of inadequate leg islation means another defeat for popular government.
 It means an insult directed at the sovereign people by the chosen ser wants of the people, turned traitor to the state.
 In such contest as this there can be but one ending. The people are sovereign. It may be easy enough to deceive and betray them at times when they are not awake and con- scious, but when they are alert and determined betrayal is certain to be followed with punishment heavily measured to the guilt of the offend CTS.
 The practical ends sought by pub- lie utilities legislation are many. Among the more important is the necessity of tribunal to hold public service corporations up to the meas ure of the duties which they assumed when they received, free of charge, the valuable charters they control.
 Such corporations are obliged to furnish service at reasonable cost. Such cost does not include dividends upon watered stock, which are divi- dends upon lie about capitalizat ton.
 Connecticut corporations are water logged and the people of Connecticut are taxed for millions to pay profits upon investments that never were made.
 The pubic service corporations of Connecticut, many of them, are con- ducted as secret societies. They are accountable to the public, but the public has no means of enforcing ac counta bility and no information upon which to proceed.
 The adequate public utilities law will compel publicity of accounting and finance.
 It will remove the finances of

Judge Tighe
 Kills Himself
He Brooded Over Failure to Be Reappointed After 23 Years as Magistrate

New York, May 22-Deeply disap- pointed to find in his old age that he was not, as he had hoped, to end his days on the Police Court bench, where he had sat for twenty-three years, ex- Magistrate James G. Tighe committed suicide yesterday morning at his home 1S3 Bergen street, Brooklyn, by inhal- ing Illuminating gas.
 Although he had brooded constantly since May 1, when Mayor Gaynor ap- pointed Fourth Deputy Police Com missioner Louis H. Reynolds to sue ceed him on the bench, none of his ia miiy or friends had the slightest suspicion that Judge Tighe thought of taking his own life. He was to have started in today as counsel to the Deputy Excise Commissioner in Brook lyn, but it is supposed that these du- ties did not appeal to him.
 The ex-Magistrate arose at o'clock yesterday morning and took bath. Requesting his daughter, Mary Tighe, to call him at Il o'clock, he returned to his bedroom and study, on the sec ond floor of the three-story and base ment house. At II o'clock, as Miss Tight was ascending the stairs to call her father, she smelled gas. Finding the door of his room locked she be- came alarmed and hurrying down stairs told other members of the fam fly of her fears. Dr. Thomas c. Leitch, who lives next door. was call ed in and the door of MT. Tighe's room was forced. He was found dead on the floor. In his mouth was a rubber tube which was connected with a gas jet.
 The suicide of the ex-Magistrate was 8 great surprise and shock to the many who knew him. Early on Sat- urday afternoon he had luncheon with his son, William Tighe, and several friends, at the Clarendon Hotel, and then went down to the Sheepshead Bay Rowing Club. He remained there talking with old friends until o'clock, when he returned to his home. He spent some time reading in his study and retired at 10:30 o'clock.
 James G. Tighe was one of the best known men in public life in Brooklyn, and was also familiar figure in the sporting world. As some viewed it, he was rather easy with a certain class of violators of the law, but he was peculiarly human in most of his dealings, and the sympathetic ear of Jimmy Tighe, as he was called, was often sought by families members of which found themselves in the hands of the police. His wide personal ac- quaintance extended to all classes of people in the borough.

Oldest Fire
 Chief Suicides
New Orleans Man, 42 Years
 on Duty, Uses Revolver

New Orleans. La. May 22-Thomas O'Connor. chief of the New Orleans fire department, shot and killed him. self yesterday afternoon. Colonel Henry O. SeiXas, his friend, also shot and killed himself in Central Park, New York, Saturday afternoon. New Orleans friends of both men profess to see close relationship between the two suicides
 Colonel Seixas some time ago wrote letter to a former partner, George A. Wiegand, asking him to take charge of his affairs lin case of sud- den death." Knowing Colonel Seixas' optimistic temperament. as displayed in a vigorous commercial career, MT. Wiegand had no thought that the let ter was an intimation of suicide, though he now realizes its purport.
 Chief O'Connor, like his friend. had been in ill health. He was 72 years of age and had been the chief of the New Orleans fire department forty two years.
 The chief it is declared. was the oldest head of a fire department in America. both as to age and length of service as chief. He had been pres1- dent Of the National organization, and was a noted figure at the annual con- ventions.

Mellen Turns Down
 Offer to Buy Bankrupt
 Norwich Trolley Road

The New Haven railroad was re- gently asked to take over the bankrupt Norwich and Westerly trolley road. The bondholderS committee was an- xious to dispose of the property as it would do away with the necessity of their reorganizing the committee if the property should be knocked down to them. There were several confer ences with President MeEen of the New Haven railroad, so it was stated. but at the last conference he had turned down the proposition of buy ing the property.

MAY EXAMINATIONS HARD
More Than Half OF Eighth Grade
Applicants Conditioned.

SALEM, June 27.-Out of 1868 pu-
pills taking the eighth grade examina-
tions in May, 1457 passed and 1889
failed outright, while 979 were condi-
toned in one or two subjects. This
is inclusive of all Of the counties in
oregon except Lake and Harney, re-
ports from which have not yet been
received in the Office of the Superin-
tendent of Public instruction.
1t is noticeable from the scattered
reports now arriving at the Superin-
tendents office concerning the results
of the June examinations, at which
those conditioned in the May examin-
ations could make up their deficien-
cies, that virtually all the conditioned
students have passed and will receive
their diplomas. The percentage of
those conditioned to fail in the June
examinations is insignificant accord
ng to the reports so far received.
Less than half those taking the May
examinations received diplomas with
out having to take examinations to re-
move conditions, while as more appli-
cants actually failed than received di-
plomas. Nevertheless, County Super
intendents who are gathering in Sa-
lem hold the opinion generally that
the eighth grade examinations were
not too difficult. Several declare that
the pupil who was unable to pass the
examination offered should not be al
lowed to enter the high school, be-
cause he would be unqualified to go
on with the work.
In Polk County 1s2 entered the ex-
aminations; S5 were conditioned in
one or two subjects, 70 failed, and 6S
received diplomas.
