GOVERNOR GUEST OF FORMER
 CITY ATTORNEY PULLMAN

Governor Baldwin remained in Bridgeport over night leaving this morning on the 9:36 train for New Haven. During his stay in the city he was the guest of the president of the bar association, Attorney Thomas M. Cul'inan at his home in Elmwood Place.
 Close attention was given to Judge William S. Case, who made a satirical address on the general theme of Jonah" Roosevelt's name was not mentioned, but it was evident to all present that the irony of the speaker was directed at the Sage of Oyster Bay, into whom he thrust many a barbed shaft. His was a delightful talk indeed.
 The "babies of the bar,'' John T. Hubbard and Hugh J. Lavery were heard in brief addresses each of which scored prettily. The young sters acquitted themselves most cred itably and they were greeted most ap- provingly by their elders.
 Judge William H. Kelsey as usual handed out the history of the years doings in lawdOm. Newspapers are supposed to make no reference to this as the tales told are sacred to the ears of the profession.
 The retiring officers were thanked for the excellence of. their service and the nominations of the committee confirmed. The new officers are: President Fred w. Tracy; vice presi- dent, John w. Banks; secretary, w. H. Kelsey; treasurer, William T. Haviland. Committee of arrange

FASHIONS AND PADS.
Foulard continued to be popul

Foulard continued to be popular.
 This season, veilingS are showing chenille dots, diminutive and large: they are grouped at the intersections of the bars or they are scattered at intervals over the mesh.
 Complexion veils enhance the con tour of the face, and both the single the latter have a very fine open black mesh over the f1esh-tinted tulle.
 Shadow veilings are immensely popular; shadow designs, as well as the fish-net patterns, are repro duced in the new shetland veils,which will be used a great deal this sum- mer. They make practical motor veils. for they may be laundered with impunity.
 There is no gainsaying the inn mense popularity of the buckle tc complete a well-made shoe. The "Co- loniar' style promises to be favorite, will be in great demand.
 Hatpins no longer protrude-at least they should not-or blaze with iridescence; on the contrary, they are modest in size and color and conceal themselves in the folds of silk or ribbons.
 Petticoats are of every conceivable shade and texture, trimmed simply or decorated lavishly with laces, chiffon, fringes and blossoms.
 Buttons matching the garment are a salient feature of frocks and tailor ed suits They blend with it, and therefore are not used as a contrast
 Flowers, large and small, are. ar- ranged around the crown of hats to stand upright like the feather used last winter.

 All three captains will be on street duty between the hours of and 5 D. m The street duty trick means that all the captains must purchase new uniforms for this purpose, their indoor uniforms not answering.
 The new arrangement for traffic pa trolren is in the nature of an eX- pertinent. the commissioners believing that one man at a time is sufficient to keep the traffic in order at COT . ner. The great increase in traffic on State street since the laying of the block pavement necessitates a traf- fic officer for the corner of Main and State during business hours.
 All of the present day men, with one or two exceptions go on night duty when the change goes into effect and half of the present night men get day duty. including a large number of the new appointees who will get their first taste of daytime police work.
 The police commissioners have not made up their mind whether the new detail is to be effective for two months or three months That will be de- cided later

Fire Insurance Folks.

A young Englishwoman introduced a new phrase. to a New Yorker the Oth- CT day. She had been telling of her home town, of it's extraordinary sanc- timoniousness, until her nearer asked, ''Why, what sort of folks live there?"
 "Oh," she said, Hhey're all fire in- surance folks"
 It didn't seem that any one commit nifty could be made up of people in one line of business, and the nearer asked for an explanation.
 'Why," came the answer, fire in- surance folks are returned colonials who lived abroad and have committed every crime in the calendar. Then when they get old they come and try to square up by living six years of the most painful piety. That's why we call lem fire insurance folks."- New York Sun.

Sheriff Ginty's Home Is Attached
Prominent Danbury Official
 Went on Bonds for Joseph
 Brennan, Who Lost : Breach of Promise Suit.

Deputy Sheriff Edward c. Ginty of Danbury, who is we'll known in coun- ty political circles, finds himself in legal difficulties because he furnish ed part of $5,0OO bonds for Joseph Brennan of Danbury. Ginty and Brennan have been sued on the bond and the deputy sheriff's home in Franklin street, Danbury, has been attached.
 The action is brought by Constable Fred B. Crofutt of Danbury and is for s5,ooo damages. Brennan was the defendant in breach of promise proceedings brought by Julia Morri- son of Waterbury and Ginty helped him furnish the bond required. The trial was scheduled to take place in Waterbury in November, 1911, but when Brennan did not appear Julia Morrison got judgment by default for $3.000. The present action against the bOndsmen is to recover on that judgment and is returnable to the superior court.

hsa~oSAs' reaxners.

Peacocks' feathers have been handed down to US from the ancient days of mythology as emblematical of treach- cry, evil and misfortune. The origin of this strange superstition is founded upon the following classical story: Osiris, king of Egypt, upon starting on his Indian expedition left his queen, Isis, regent, with Argus, his minister, as heH chief adviser. Argus, with his hundred eyes, or, rather. his spies, soon made himself so formidable and power full that he seized the queen regent, shut her up in a strong castle and pro- claimed himself king of Egypt. Mer- cury was sent against him with a strong army, took him captive and cut off his head, whereupon Juno meta morphOsed him into q peacock and set his spies in his tail. From this legend and the various additions made to it from time to time the belief has arisen that it is unlucky to have peacocks' feathers inside house.

PATRICK ROACH IS SAVED FROM
 GAS POISONING
Foreman of Malleable Iron
 Go. Found Unconscious With Gas Jet Partly Open

Accidentally turning a gas jet part way open, Patrick Roach, foreman of the Malleable Iron Company's hot roll ing mill, had a narrow escape from death by asphyxiation in the Howard Avenue Hotel, this morning.

After temporary treatment Roach was taken to St. Vincent's hospital where at press hour this afternoon he had re- gained consciousness and was on the road to recovery
 EGach's misadventure was clearly an accident, the jet having in some way become turned just enough to let a small stream of gas escape into the room. The effect of this was to over come Roach in his sleep. His failure to respond to his call this morning re- suited in his discovery in time

SHERIFF GINTY LOSES s IN RACE TO LICENSE

A peculiar error lost Deputy Sheriff Edward C. Ginty of Danbury the op- portunity of attaching property in a damage suit. Sheriff Ginty had an action against Q Danbury saloonkeeper and attached. a liquor license issued in May, 1911. This license expired in November, 1911, and in consequence is now worthless.

THE FARMER: MARCH 2, 1912

By aiming their attack at me they hope to poison the minds of all good Democrats in several districts to that extent where they will start out to defeat me and my friends in other dis tricts. Without office and the pap that goes with it these men cannot long exist, and that applies to those working on some newspapers as we'll as those who read newspapers. Long ago I realized that no public official had a chance against a band of malic- ious liars, but when newspapers come out and charge me with doing some. thing they want the readers ito regard as a reflection on my character, I am ready to defend myself. T remain.
 Yours respectfully,

Murder Charge Is NoIIed And
 Robbery Pressed

John Jacob Schreiber, alias Jack Miller, was arraigned in the city court this morning and the charge of mur- der which has rested against him for some time was nolled and that of highway robbery substituted :n it's stead. f
 AS stated exclusively in The Farmer yesterday, the authorities feel that they have strong case against Schreiber for highway robbery of the watchhnen at the Hawthorne Manu- featuring Company's plant and the Alb. and E. HenkePs lace plant, but their evidence against Schreiber for the murder of Marton Szovah, night watchman at the. Tait paper mill, is not so convincing.
 The case was continued until March 7th.

Proclamation Of Neutrality By
 President Taft
First Official Recognition of New Government By the
 United States
(SDecjaI from United Press.

Especial from United Press Washington, March 2.-The Presi- dent, today, issued a proclamation de- | claring the neutrality of the United
 official and formal recognition by this government of the conditions in Mexico. The proclamation was de- cided upon in a special Cabinet meet ing, hastily called by President Taft just prior to leaving for New York.
 The proclamation will somewhat re- lieve the situation, it is believed. ernment could demand of Madero 1 that he protect Americans in Mexico. Besides warning Americans to keep
 out of mischief, the proclamation will
 result in the state department au- thorizing Am mbassador Wilson to tell Americans in Mexico to be prepared to leave districts in which fighting IS likely to> occur. Today's step, how ever, does not stop the United States from demanding satisfaction in case Americans are killed.

Willis H. Jenkins, travelling pas

day. Mr.. jenkins territory covers
the Southern Pacifil line from Port
land to Ashland, as we'll as all Of its
side lines, and his present visit here
was to see that the Colestin excur-
sion, on today, be run to the com
fort Of the patrons.
Mr.. Jenkins says that there is a
general air of Improvement in all
lines of industry in western and
southern Oregon, due largely Of
course to the excellent crop in all
districts. Travel is picking up,
though that from eastern states will
not be much in evidence till after
the harvesting season. One thing
that impressed itself upon Mr. Jen-
klns was the fact that the Rogue
valley will in a measure change the
order Of things this season, and will
have produce to ship out instead Of
having to ship everything into the
country. The trouble has been that
we have depended TOO much on the
outside dollar heretofore" said Mr..
jenkins. We have got to produce
some OF the dollars here at home be-
fore the country reaches It's full
prosperity"
