ford under it's present. system of man. agement.
 Walter Learned of the Savings Bank of New London showed interest in the movement by his presence, but de- clined to speak either for or against the project, preferring to remain neu- tral. Not so with Theodore Bodenwein. He spoke strongly in favor of annexa- ton and among the benefits that would accrue to Waterford he mentioned the light and water systems. He believed that both places would be benefited by annexation and without New London could not grow and Waterford would stand pat forever Former Governor Waller spoke in opposition to the pro- ject, stating that he would continue along that line unless the people of Waterford were agreeable to the prop osition and then he would withdraw reluctantly, as he could not see any benefit to New London by the annexa- tion. Abel F. Tanner did not think annexation was necessary and that 1t was wrong to force Waterford to be- come part of New London against the wishes of a majority of the residents of that town.
 George S. Palmer said that he did not believe that annexation would be a disadvantage to either New London or Waterford, but in the future 1t might be an advantage to both. MT. Palmer said that personally he did not care if New London never had another inhabitant. He loved the city and found it @ congenial place to live in, and having considerable interest in it would be less expensive to him if the city stood still. But that, he said, was not the spirit and principle of good citizenship He believed it was the duty of every citizen to place his per sonal interests below those of the city and he intended to do that duty. MT. T.aIY, c-.,i1 h<x y,rNff fo ynr ation if the people of Waterford op- posed, but he wanted to be certain that it was the people and not con- paratively few interested persons who were opposed to annexation for purely personal and selfish reasons.
 John J. Lawless was the only Water fordian to speak at the meeting and he favored annexation in the strongest terms and declared that it would be no burden for New London to take over would be more contented and enjoy some of the modern methods of. living. He declared that fully three-fourtfs of the taxpayers of Waterford were fa- vorable to annexation
 Ex-Mayor Tinker said he was op- posed to annexation if Waterford was forced to become a part of New Lon don, and he was in doubt if the city needed more territory. He did not be- 1ieye that the majority Of the people of New London wanted Waterford, as it would mean an increase in taxa tion.
 Representative Whiton said it would be difficult to accomplish annexation unless New London and Waterford came to a harmonious agreement; in fact, unless both towns petitioned for annexation.
 It was a 1ong-talk, interesting ses- sion, and tended to get the views of some of the citizens on the subject of annexation; but that was all. There were many at the meeting. but no at tempt was made to get the vote of those present on the question that was under consideration.

Passengers Must Insert NickeIs in Au.
 tomatic Fare Collectors.

Providence. R. L.. Jan. 13.-The su- preme court decided today that it is a reasonable regulation that passengers be required to insert nickels in the au- tomatic fare collectors used by the Rhode Island company on it's street car system here. The question arose in a suit brought by a passenger against the railroad company for be- ing put off a car after he had refused personally to put his fare in the hand register. It is believed that this is the first time this question has been decided by the courts of this country. The same system is in use in several other states.

WARM FIGHT BETWEEN
 THE RAILROAD COMPANIES
Central Vermont Opposing Boston q Maine's Effort to Use Its Property to Reach BrattIeboro.


 Warmly opposed by it's rival rail- road, the application of the Boston & Mane, one of the New Haven road lines, to enter Brattleboro, Vt. over property now occupied by the Central Vermont IS now the object of a warm fight before the joint railroad com mittee of the Vermont legislature. The Boston & Maine road, which came un- der control of the New Haven a year or two ago, seeks legislative authority to extend its line through Brattle- bOrO to complete the road from New port, Vermont, to South Vernon. The Central Vermont. which is Grand Trunk line, now has terminal at Brattieboro, where the New Haven road seeks to enter, and it is bitterly opposed to the invasion.
 The matter came before the legis- lature this week. both roads being represented by an array of legal tal- ent-
 The Boston & Maine representatives declared that the permission to enter oyer the property now claimed by the Vermont Central could be given without meaning that the Vermont Central would be deprived of any privileges now enjoyed by it. The Central attorneys insisted in reply that permission for the proposed invasion would practically destroy the Central Vermont terminal yards, roundhouses, switches, etc, and require an inter locking system at this junction which is not satisfactory arrangement for a switching yard.
 The Central Vermont distributed a circular attacking the motives of the New Haven road. The circular cites the alleged motives as follows:
 First, the extension of it's monopo- ly. Second, to embarrass the Central Vermont in what 1t calls an invasion of it's exclusive territory in New Eng- land. Third, to take by legislative authority the property of the Cen tral Vermont Railway company, which without such authority could not be acquired through any court, a fact admitted by their counsel
 Fourth. to destroy the competition of the Central Vermont, Crank Trunk and so destroy the differential basis of rates, which would be disastrous to the manufactories of New England and to the future development of the industries of Vermont.

The meeting was attended by a larre number of representative citizens. and

ne meeting was attended by lar~e number of representative citizens, and Mayor Mahan was the first to state his views. He was in favor of the annexa- tion, for without it New London could not expand and become a greater and more beautiful city. He believed now was the proper time for annexation when the land is cheaper than it will be later, and that if the park system that is essential to the growth and beauty of the city is to be carried out. now is the proper time. At present at comparatively small expense fine nat ura1 parks could be laid out, but if there is delay the woOdmanS S axe viii have done it's work and nothing but stumps of the now stately trees will remain. He declared himself as strong ly in favor of annexation and wanted to be recorded as such, but wished it understood that it was no more per- sonal to him than it was to any other cltlzen whose only desire was to see the city grow and prosper and take it's place among the leading cities of the stare from every viewpoint.
 Maj jor .I4adlaf A. Hull also wanted to be fecofded as an annexationist and believed the change would be to the mutual advantage of residents of New London and Waterford. He believed the city in order to have increase in lndustrlal importance must have more territory. for at present there are no available sites for industries of any magnitude that are SD essential to the proSperitx of any city and could not locate in town minus modern faciIi- ties that arc not available in Water

NO TRACE OF ICE. Mariners Say Thames Will Not Freeze Badly This Winter,

With the river free of ice, old mari ners said Friday that they did not fear serious menace to shipping for the re- mainder of the winter. Cold weather in February. they say, may be expected to make some ice, but when the river freezes so as to stop tugs with barges and schooners from going up the river it is usually before n1id-January.
 Three schooners are discharging cargoes near the head of navigation now and their captains anticipate no trouble in getting down the river again. Schooners George H. Ames at Norwich and Dean ". Brown at Stoddard' s wharf are discharging lumber cargoes. Schooner Charles w. Church is dis charging coal at AlIyn's Point.

Ever since Mayor Mahan suggested the annexation of the town of Water ford to the city of New London, and the court of common council voted unanimously in favor of the proposi- tion, public interest has increased and converts to the idea are being enrolled in large numbers almost daily. So far as known the only really prominent citizen that has openly declared against annexation is ex-Governor Thomas NJ. Waller, who declares he can see no advantage to New London or Water ford by annexation and that the terri toIial jurisdiction of New London is ample for all present and future needs. In order to get public expression on this important matter Alexander T. Campbell, president of tha New London Business Men's association and first vice president Of the New London Board of Trade, called q public meet ing of citizens under the auspices of the former association for q free and open discussion of the matter as means of getting at public opinion in regard to the annexation movement aside from the action already taken by the New London court of common council as expressive of the public will.

An officer of high grade is authority for the statement that the New York New Haven and Hartford Railroad company is to have a railway passen- ger sta tion of it's own in New London and that. when it is built it will be among the handsomest in New Eng land and will have ample office room to relieve the present congestion in the railroad office building in New Haven and that New London will be of more railroad importance than ever Not only will this probably be done for New London, but it is farther stated that all the waterfront owned by the railroad company in New London will be utilized, which will mean growth and prosperity for the city and in creased business for the railroad com pGny.

There is sure to be something doing in actual work in the construction of a new railroad bridge across the Thames river, or the tunneling of the river, in the very near future for gangs of sur veyors are now actively at work here While no information is being given out by this special class of railroad employees, it is known that three dis tiuct surveys have been made with view of tunneling the northwest section with a view to new approach to the bridge or for a tunnel line, which will change the railroad center of the city from the foot of State street and per- Main street near what is known a s the Mather property, or near to the Salton- stall schoolhouse in Broad street, or perhaps in some other location far re- moved from the present passenger sta- tion.

It is planned to erect one large cen
 traI college building and surround this with smaller buildings for use in con- nection with the main building, making a colony that will be exclusive to col lege uses. It is farther understood that the college is to be liberaliy endowed after it's construction and the com mencement of studies. At present there is no college for girls in the state, and this one will be of equal if not superior grade to Vassar, Wellesley, Smith or Mt. Holyoke. It will be an institution in which all sections of the state will be interested. as it is the intention to make it practically state institution conduc ted under private auspices. Its coming to New London will give the city a prestige along educational lines that will prove beneficial and add ma terially to the importance of the city. It may not be of the commercial inn portance as would a large manufactur- ing concern, but the school will nat urally bring visitors to the students and among them may be someone who will recognize tn enaturaI advantages of New London and perhaps locate in dustries here, or they may see the ad- vantaees of New London as a resi- dential city and make this their home

.WOMAN'S COLLEGE EQUAL TO SMITHS
A New Bridge Across the Thames Means New Station Up Town-The Annexation of Waterford Gaining Support-The Opinion of Prominent Citizens Upon the Annexation of Waterford to New London.

Although no official announcement has been made, it can be semi-officia1ly stated that the woman's college to be located in this state will be in New London and that the start will be made by September next. This does not mean that the college buildings will be erected and the college colony estab- lished near MOhegan avenue but that studies will be cornmenced with a class of twenty or more in temporary quar- ters, perhaps in the Munsey building
 It was practically decided that the col lege should be located in New London at the meeting of those interested held just before Christmas, but notice to that effect is being held back so that three of the directors not at the meet ing could have opportunity to record their vote, but which would not change the result. The site for the college will be donated and the city of New London has appropriated $50,000 for the college. It is also semi-officially stated that Morton F. Plant will con- tribute S10O,0 900 to the college as soon as the foundation of the main building is constructed and contract awarded for the general construction of the building and plans completed for some of the other buildings, as soon as the generous gentleman is satisfied that the college authorities really mean bus mess and the location for New London is assured beyond all possible doubt.
