Judson Replies To Senator Hooker
Special from United Press. }

Especial from United Press)
 Hartford, Sept. 26-The. New Haven judgeship matter conyulsed the Sem ate again, today Judge Mathewson's s term ended, last May, and he has oc- cupied the bench in the absence of a successor duly appointed by the Leg islature. The office has served as a football between the House and Sem ate which branches have gvariously considered five candidates but always with disagreeing action.
 Senator Judson begged leave to an- swer certain allegations made by Sen. Hooker at the time the Connecticut River. Company fight was hottest, last week.
 According to Judson, Hooker said that lobbyists for the company had crowded around the Judson seat in the Senate and had dictated legisla- tion to him.
 .Jn the least offensive manner pos sible.'' said Senator Judson, ''I wish to state that MT Hooker knew this was untrue. Such reputable gentle men as MT Perkins and MT Muck, two attorneys lobbying for the Con- necticut River company bill had con- ferred with me simply at my request that they find the page number of a special act in order that I might fill in an amendment, correctly, regarding the tax exemption clause in the pend- ing bill.'"

Dudley Morris. son Of MT. and Mrs. Marshall E. Morris of Noble avenue, will take place to- morrow afternoon at o'clock at the Grippin residence, Marina Park. The ceremony will be performed by Rev.

The best man is to be Horace Merwin, and the ushers, liar vey Irving, DeVer c. Warner, Clar- ence Foote and Nelson Beach. The bride is keeping her wedding gown secret not even her most inti- mate friends knowing its texture. The same is true of the maid of honor. Befitting the ceremony the palatial Grippin home has been turned into a massive floral garden through the eff forts of Horan & Son. from the en- trance to the main hall, along it's walls to the stair cases and along the
 
 sheets of tender Southern smiiax. Be- meath this f1owery array through the hall to the floor, above are ar ranged arches from which also hang sheets of wild smilax. Half way up the staircase on the first landing IS the conservatory where the musicians will be hidden behind banks of palms and ferns. Hung at set intervals from the arches are soft fern balls, The color scheme in the large front room where the young couple are to be married will be in green and white. The bay windows will be banked with massive palms and other green plants. At the two corners of the bay win dows about twenty feet apart will be set bay trees in large brass urns.
 To the leaves of these trees will be attached gardenias making the tree appear as if in bloom. From the stems of the trees stretching from the first room to the rear will be stream CTS and loops of white ribbon In this aisle formed by the ribbony ways the bridal couple will march to the they will be welded by the clergy man.. On the high mantle to the left of the aisle is arranged bank of maiden hair ferns and gardenias.

President Taft Jolies Insurgents
 Al Kansas Fair
Says One May Differ From Them on Politics and Issues But Must Admire Their Courage and Energy
Special from United Press,


 Kansas City. Sept 2S-Thousands listened to President Taft's speech at the Kansas State Fair here, today. A dissertation on the history of Kansas and a brief appreciation of Represen- tative B. H. Madison, whose death last week seriously oppressed the President, was his message to the in- surgency of Kansas, in the biggest speech he was scheduled to deliver during his visit here. None of the big issues of the day were men,
 In expressing his grief at the death of Judge Madison, the President said:
 'His death was a great shock to me. I cannot say that I knew him intimately, but I knew him well enough to know the strong qualities of his mind and heart, his judicial in- stinct, his intense desire to be fair, his clear perception of the law as a 5nrist and his level-headedness as a legislator. I extend to his family and to his friends my profound sympathy in their deep sorrow and hope that the memory of his high standing among his fellow citizens and the value of service he rendered to them may, in time, mitigate the blow which has fallen upon them." ss
 The President proceeded to lengthy discussion of the circumstances under which Kansas entered the Union, the bloody guerrilla warfare that racked her just prior to the Civil War, and her economic history up to the pres ent time. He then made detailed statistical review of the advance of the States prosperity.
 The trials through which the State has come have undoubtedly given a character to it's inhabitants" he de- clared. They are bold and original in thought, courageous in execution One may differ from them on their Conclusions either upon politics or up on other issues, but he must respect their sincerity and their energy, in dependence and courage with which they support their conclusions and carry them to their logical results''
 This was the nearest the President came to mentioning the insurgency of Kansas.
