less than a dozen eligible young men
to whom she was reputed to have
surrendered her hand and heart.
AS in each of these previous cases,
her present capitulation is denied, but
in this instance the general impress
sion among her friends is that the
announcement, while premature, as in
the case of the engagement of Mild
red Sherman to Lord Camoys, is
technically correct. 1t is known that
she has regarded the attentions OF
young Vanderbilt with marked favor
for several months and that the pos
sibility of an alliance with this family
of which the Duchess of Marlborough
is the recognized social head is not
displeasing to her. A formal an
nouncement of the engagement is
looked for in the fall. with brillian,

CASES LOOK ALIKE
Police Try to Work Out Con-
nectiOn Between East and
West Rock Dynamite Episodes

New Haven May 8-The police are
now working on the theory that there
may be some connection between the
explosion of dynamite which occurred
on West Rock On Saturday and the
discovery of the dynamite in the
grinders of the stone crusher on East
Rock several days ago. The similarity
in the two cases is sufficient to give
rise to the belief that they may both
have been done by the same person OF
persong.
In the case at East Rock the tool
house of the park department was
broken into and the dynamite stolen
The tools were scattered around but
nothing was stolen to speak of. All
West Rock the tool house Of c.. w
Blakeslee and Company was entered
and the dynamite stolen. In the lat
ter case, however, the dynamite was
deliberately exploded by a percussion
cap.
The Westville police have located
the place where the explosion of the
dynamite occurred in the woods below
the rock.

REGULATING FARMERS

The special committee appointed to
modities has brought in a special re-
port Recommending a drastic act to
regulate the production and sale of
milk. Some of the provisions require
quality, with a penalty of imprison-
ment for adulteration.
Milk to be standard may contain
not more than SIS per centum f
water. not less than 1875 per centum
of milk solids. not less than nine per
centum of Solids not milk fats, and
not less than $40 per centum of milk
fats. Any sub standard milk must be
SO described by him who sells it.
Pasteurized milk must be labelled,
with the date of pasteurization. And
so the law continues prescribing in
minute detail how cows shall be kept,
how their stables shall be cared for,
what shall be done with manure
heaps and so on, until the milk is
in the hands of the ultimate consunn-
er.
The law appears to be wise and
necessary. But none arise with noisy
procla ma ton that the state will ruin
private enterprise by it's interference,
or to procla i'm that every manager
of an industry should run it himself
according to his own sweet will.
Yet the bill creates a public utili-
ties commission for the farmers who
produce milk. and for those who sell
1t farmers or not, and that of the
most complete sort.
The commission is not a large one,
and his salary will not be great His
official title is The Dairy and Food
Commissioner and he may operate
and exercise his large powers by "his
assistant or agent"
If such law as this were proposed
for the regulation of railroads, or TO.

THE FREE, FREE AIR

All that the poets have sung about
the great, free spaces of the air re-
mains true, much to the embarrass-
ment of promoters of aviation meets,
who are discovering that one of the
greatest difficulties confronting them
is that of finding aviation fields 30
exclusive that the air ship hungry
public will be obliged to pay its way
to the spectacle. Aviator Ovington,
who yesterday made one of the most
interesting, daring and successful
flights ever made in the United
States. had an audience of less than
5000 inside the enclosure 20 which
admission was paid, while literally
half the population of Bridgeport
looked on, from Seaside Park: or the
Meadows, or other choice locations.
Some hundreds took a free view from
the water, comfortably seated in
boats. Yet all of these persons miss
ed most of what was worth seeing
as, for instance, a close view of the
wonderfully graceful and birdlike
Bleriot Monop1ane, the speeding of
the engine, previous to the start, the
start itself, land the daring landing.
To see the plane in the air, without
seeing all these other things, was
much like seeing Hamlet with Ham
lei left out Doubtless the financially
successful meet will be that which
reduces the price of admission to
such a POINT tina. the ordinary man
will feel able to 90 himself and take
his wife and children. The expert
ence OF the promoters Of the Curtiss
meet will be more fortunate perhaps,
since the Lake Aerodrome is not
open from so many points. But it is
expected that the crowd on Holiis.er
Heights will be moro numerous than
within the Park.

RAILROAD CLERKS
PRESS DEMANDS
Request, Once Turned Down, is
Renewed - Freight Handlers
Want Increase and Car Work
erS Restless

New Haven, May S.-There are
now three important labor matters
which confront the New Haven rail-
road. The first is that of the railroad
clerks, who wish such concessions in
regulat tons as to amount to an In
crease in wages, which the road does
not want to grant, the second is the
new demand of the freight handlers
from the Boston end of the system
which was put up to General Mana
ger Higgins yesterday, and the third
is the settlement of the schedule of
the car workers for 1911-12, covering
various branches of those workers
connected with the American Fedora
ton of Labor.
No one seen here expected any
strike, except that there might pos
sibly be some trouble made by the
Boston freight handlers.
Many Lodges Represented.
There were % lodges of the Order
of Railway Clerks, represented by 100
delegates from all over the New Ha-
ven system, at the meeting of the
executive board Of that order, held
at the Hotel Volk last night. No de-
other than that it was held so that
the delegates could report to their
lodges, preliminary to the next i'm
portant public meeting, which will be
held at Cooper institute In New York
shortly All that General Chairman
r. C. Stearnes would say was that
the delegates were instructed to re-
port progress. 1t is felt by the road
that the demands for the betterments
of wage conditions as made amount
to an increase of wages land as such
they are not favored by the road.
The matter of the increase has been
up before General superintendent F..
S. Pollock. He has returned them.
and the clerks have now made re-
ply, continuing to insist on them. No
answer has been received to this In
the event of a failure with Pollock
the matter will then be taken up
with General Manager Higgins, with
the same routine, and in the event of
failure with Higgins the case will
then be laid before President Mellei..

Smith rode to the polls and voted.
But as he rode away his mule died,

Upon what theory does the pro-
posed bill travel? In sConnectic,lt

What is there about the ownership
of $500 worth of freehold that makes

occupa ton? Moreover it is required
that the freehold be unmortgaged.

personal property, and as the word
goes better property than real estate,
but under this measure the female
applicant must exhibit $500 in gold
as a prequisite to the ballot, if gold
is her only wealth.

But do not give q few women the

this bill, which is unamerican, un-
democratic, unwise and abhorrent to
the women themselves.

Waterbury Americana

Certain newspapers, notably those
whose salary list the Senate is going
to help pay this year, are eager in
their justification Of the Senate for its
action in rejecting the Governor
nominee for Highway Commissioner
The. words with the advice and con-
sent of the Senate illumine many a
burning page. Nobody has questioned
the Senate's moral responsibility but
to approve of its action one must be-
lieve either that Governor Baldwin's
nominee was incompetent or that
Highway Commissioner Macdonald is
surprisingly efficient. 1t requires a
high quality of faith to accept either
of these doctrines. And the quantity
of defense which the Senate is receiv-
ing indicates O. growing doubt as to
whether the Senate's action was really
good politics.

Rap Reciprocity Agreement

LONDON, Feb. 7.-Denunciation by
Lord Lansdowne and A. j. Balfour Oh
the proposed reciprocity agreement
between Canada and the United states
M the opening of parliament yester-
dav proved that this question OF trade
Is one OF the most important before
the empire today.
Lord I.ansdowne characterized the
agreement as the most momentou9
departure i'm the history OF Canada
and the British empire. IL meant
he said, a diminution of the advan'
tages enjoyed by British trade under
the preference now given by Canada,
and also the DETECTION OF wheat sup

THE whole history OF the empire Is
surely altered" he declared, III the
great dominions are encouraged TO de-
velop not on national and imperial
lines, but In accordance with geo.
graphical conditions"
Mr.. Bslfour referred to the proposed
ARRANGEMENT on much the same lines
as did Lord I.ansdowne. He said that
IF ii was carried out II would have
the most disastrous consequences Tor
the future Of the empire. For years
he said. Canada had offered trade
preferences to this country and the
British government deliberately had
indicated that nothing In the way OF
preference could be given In return.
Canada therefore could not be blamed
for looking elsewhere.
He regarded the agreement as a
great imperial disaster due entirely
TO the governments refusal to listen
TO the offers OF Canada.

BONDING POWER
Mayor Wants 1t To Include Police
Stations, Fire Houses, Public
Fairgrounds, Etc.

Corporation Counsel Hally has com
pleted the draft of the amendment TO
the city charter, increasing the bond
ing limit from two 10 three per cent,
which is 10 be submitted To the legis-
lature i'm the form OF bill. The meas
ure is identical with Section 7, of the
charter, as IL now stands. the only
change being the substitution of the
word three" for the word two" The
council. Tuesday night, will direct
that the bill he presented to the legis-
lature at once.
Mayor Thompson has sent com
munication TO the council, which will
be considered by the committee on
city and charter legislation, Tuesday
afternoon, urging that as part OF
the same bill, the bonding power be
enlarged SO as TO include police sta
tons, fire houses, public Fairgrounds,
bath houses, street openings and a
high pressure water system. so that
these improvements could be taken
care OF by the issuance OF bonds rath-
er than by spreading the cost on the
tax rolls.
The mayor took the question up
with the committee OF ways and

cided that the proper course would be

afternoon. As far as known the sug-

would tend TO greatly reduce the tax
