ing of the new line the assessed valua-

which will mean a reduction of the tax
levy IN proportion.
1t will be seen by the above that min
eral lands bear the largest share of the

constantly increasing in value and nat
urally will take the largest part of the
burden.

information of the public so every one
may be fully informed and attend the
meeting of the Good Roads Club on next

opinion as to the desirability of a bond
issue. All the rest of the counties in

this county cannot afford to fall behind
in this important matter. Then let
there be full attendance and a frank
expression of opinion, one way or the
other, so the committee having in
charge the drafting of the petition to
the court in this matter may be enabled
to act in accordance with the wishes of
the majority of the people.

HUDSON IS SENATORIAL
 POSSIBILITY
Politicians Discuss Proba- bility that Bulkeley May Make Way for Fairfield
 County Man
Near Licking Hill Got from Wilson Diminishes Proba- bility Former Will Wear Senator's Toga.
Special to The Farmer


 New Haven, Jan. 7-Politicians firm ator Morgan G. Bulkeley finds him. self unable to secure a reelection he will endeavor to name as his success sor Stiles Judson of Bridgeport. It is alleged that there are 20 Mclean men who would prefer Judson over Mclean, mostly Representatives and Senators who are influenced by the State Business Mems Association. But Senator Bulkeley, when questioned. yesterday afternoon, said that ma jority of the Senators and Represen- tativeS had been elected on a pledge to vote for him, and that he expects to be elected. He would not talk about what may follow if a canvass shows him out of the running.
 In discussing the possibility that Judson may be candidate the New Haven correspondent of the Hartford Times discusses the situation as be- tween Judson and Hill, and takes the view that Hill is likely to be elimi- mated as Senatorial timber, and that as Republican leader in Fairfield county. The fact that Hill has been almost beaten by Lynn W. Wilson is assigned as one of the reasons why that Statesman's downfall is near.
 Says the Times:
 There would be method in this kind of madness, so to speak. Bulke- ley would have the pleasure of sec ing Mclean disposed of as political factor in Connecticut for good as far as the United States Senatorship is concerned. and at the same time he would be putting R nail in the politi- cal coffin of another Republican lead CT that he has no special admiration for, Congressman Hill of the Fourth district. At the same time a move of this nature would be adding strength as it were, to the Bulkeley machine in Connecticut by bringing into prom thence. a Fairfield county Republican leader, Senator Judson, as against arl- other Fafrfefd county leader. Con- srassnan HHi. Sueh a move if suc- cessful would, in the Judgment of the ,Bulkeley men. put an end to, any Sem atoria1 ambitions that might be held by Congressman Hill for it would raise into an influential political po- sition Senator Judson, who would from that time on be in a position to match Hill and go him one better in Fairfield county.
 Hill is not as strong in the Fourth district, as he used to be by any means in the Judgment of politicians who know the situation in that dis trict. With all his influence, with

Society Orphanage Children Plan Benefit that It Is
 Hoped Will Yield $5, 900.

Uutica, Jan. 7-Deep interest has been aroused in Central and Northern New York by an event that is soon to take place in this city, which is without parallel in the records of Freemasonry aDd Catholicism in this country.
 St. Johns Roman Catholic Orphan Asylum in this city is sadly in need of new building to house the 200 or more children that are cared for by the Sisters of Charity. The Sisters some years ago commenced raising funds to erect a building to replace the one that has done service for for tv years and now has become almost uninhabitable and entirely inadequate.
 They had just opened their cam raign when the earthquake that des- troyed San Francisco occurred. The Sisters withdrew their appeal and turned in to aid the stricken city. Other demands upon the charitable people of the city, in one way or an- other, have interfered with their eff fort, though some progress has been made, and it is believed that the work of. building may be commenced in the Spring.
 Hearing, of the situation and know ing of the great need of St. Johns, Supt. William J. Wiley of the Ma sonic Home in this city offered to give a public concert in the Majestic thea tre on the evening of Jan. 20, in which the children of the Masonic Home should participate. the entire proceeds to be given to the Sisters of Charity for a new home for the children un- der their charge.
 The indications are that the seats will be sold out long before the night of the concert At 8 each a ticket, the proceeds will amount to more than $5,OOO.

BENEDICT DIES IN TROLLEY GAR
 AFTER SPRINT
Was for Many Years In Charge of Carriage Paint ing Department of Gates
 Carriage Company
Had Recently Opened Office in the Meigs Building, Where He Tinted Photo graphs, Doing Large Bus mess.

Unusual exertion expended by Wy. painter. sprinting after a trolley car caused his dea.h on the jigger on the Brooklawn line just before o'clock this morning. sBenedict's death oc' cured on the car a moment after he had boarded it. The crew of the cal not realizing that he was dead. car- ried him into North avenue before sdmmoning the ambulance from the Emergency hospital, burt life had beer extinct several minutes when pr Greenstein of the ambulance corps reached the painter.
 Benedict was a widower. Of late he resided at the home of Isaac B.. Will son, Stratfield road, Fairfield. a few minutes walk from the trolley line ending at the Brooklawn club. He was subject to heart trouble. and often told his friends of his attacks.
 This morning he saw the digger cal standing at the end of the line as he walked in from Wilson's home to the car tracks. He ran ro catch the car and sinking into a, corner seat gasped and collapsed. Other passengers thought he had merely tainted. and felt little alarm until as the car pro- gressed into the city he showed no signs of life.
 When the car reached North avenue. the ambulance corps was summoned by telephone, and friends of Benedict. who then >readtDed that he was dead. obtained the use of an automobile at a house nearby. to notify the Wilson family. Dr. Greenstein transferred the body to Rourke & Rourke's n1orgue and later. at the request of Mr. Wilson, Funeral Directors HaWley, Wilnlot 6 Renyolds took charge of the remains.
 Benedict was for a number of years in charge of the carriage painting de- 'partlnent of the old Gates Carriage Co. and also with the new Gates Company. He was employed for a short time with the Hall Ca letage Go, but of late. owing to his advancing years. he decided to turn his talent for color blending to use in a less arduous manner. He opened an office in the Meigs building where he deye1- oped photographs and tinted them. His business was assuming large pro- portions. for his work was considered exceptionally Arf1eritorious
 Mir. Benedict was a prominent member of Arcanum lodge, I. O. O.. F., through the, chairs of which he passed with distinction. He is sur vived by two sisters, Mrs. Arthur A. Smith, 118 Ellsworth street, Mrs. J. E. Shaw. 48 Hadley street. and one brother, Edward Benedict of Water bury. His home was with his father in-law, I. B. Wilson, Stratfield road, Fairfield.

 Great interest is manifested by local hunters in the restocking of the woods with game birds. and special interest is taken in the experiment of seuting out Hungarian partridge in the Con necticut woods. The Hungarian part ridge is a foreign bird. and was first necticut woods three years ago through the >efforts of the Fish and Game Commission.

Mayor Buckingham was asked this morning what he had to say about the report that certain professional gamblers would attempt to locate in this city, and had assurances of pro- lection.
 The Mayor replied: '"There is no pro- lection of any kind of professional gambling in Bridgeport. If anyone knows where any gambling house is loca.ed I would esteem 1t a favor if they give me the information. I will see to it that it is stopped at once.'
 The Mayor was quite indignant this morning when he heard that the as- ser.ion was made that protection was to be given to professional gamesters in Bridgeport. He said that he hadn't the slightest idea as to where the story had originated. He added:
 ''I would lik to find the man who promises the protection"
