 TURN DOWN CO.'S PROPOSAL

The local trolleymen's union at two meetings last night almost unani- mously turned down the offer of the company to increase the scale of wages one cent an hour. An officer of the union states that this does not mean that the union will take drastic measures to secure the in crease in wages demanded, but that the delegate to the, joint conference board will be instructed to again take the matter up with the company. The men are now receiving a sliding scale with a minimum of 21h cents an hour and a maximum of 26 # cents an hour. They requested the com pany to pay them a flat rate of 30 cents an hour for their work and the company told the joint conference board that it would increase the slid- ing scale to 22k k cents and 2711 cents an hour.
 It is said that the trolleymen. were much chagrined because the company would @only grant a one cent an hour increase and Anthony Wolfe, the To- cal delegate was instructed to renew the demand for 30 cent an hour flat wage scale. The demand for an in. crease is being made by the employees of the Connecticut Go. in all the cities where it operates and local unions will be governed by the action of the joint conference board as a whole The trolleymen- of Hartford are vot- ing today upon the report of their representative to the joint conference The conferees will meet in New Ha- ven tomorrow

ROLAND TESTIFIES
 TO UGLY CHARGES
 AGAINST ARCHIBALD

Washington, May 22-Ugly charges besmirching Judge Robert w. Arch. bald. of the Commerce court, but based almost entirely on what other persons had told him, were made, to- day, in the impea chment investigation of the House Judiciary committee, by William F. Roland, Scranton coal operator, who filed the charges against Archibald.
 Railroad officials, two other com- merce court judges and numerous in- dividuals were involved by Roland in the alleged judicial scandal. But wholly. He gave few facts upon his own personal knowledge but alleged Archibald was the prime mover in q railroad conspiracy to crush him in business.
 T was fully convinced Judge Arch bald was a tool of the railroads, |" Roland declared He said Attorney George Watson, of Scranton, told him that Archibald could get two other commerce court judges to scome in'' with him to decide Bolands case now before the interstate commerce conn mission.
 That Archibald. at the request of Lackawanna railroad officials, induc- ed Federal Judge Winner, of scran- ton, to make an adverse decree against him in a law suit was also alleged by Watson, Roland declared. That Watson told him what the deci- sion would be three days before Judge Winner handed it down was also as- serted by Roland. He also declared Edward J. Williams told of alleged influence Archibald had with the rail- roads.

SULzER'S PLEA
 FOR ELECTION OF SENATORS DIRECT

Representative Sulzer of New York, who has served IS years in the lower house, made the following eloquent appeal for the amendment for direct election of United States senator's:
 MT. Sulzer said. |. MT. Speaker: l am now and always have been in favor of the election of Senators Tn Con gress by the people. favor this change in the Federal Constitution, as I will every other change that will restore the Government to the people. I want the people, in fact as we'll as in theory, to rule this great Republic and the Government at all times to be directly responsive to their just de- mands.
 In my opinion, the people can and ought to be trusted. They have dem- onstated their ability for self-govern- ment. If the people can not be trust ed, then our Government is a failure, and the free institutions of the fath- CTS doomed. We must rely on the wisdom and the judgment of the peo- pie, and we must legislate in the in- terests of all the people and not Tor the benefit of the few.
 We witness today in the personnel of the United States Senate the sup planting of representative democracy by representative plutocracy. Here Is the last bulwark of the predatory few. Here IS In6 ClLAQtl OA SAO oAoSA uR0A- ous monopo1ies. And more and more the special interests of the country, realizing the importance of the Sem ate, are combining their forces to control the election of Federal Sena- tors through their sinister influence in State legislatures.
 Today AS United States Senators can prevent the enactment of a good law or the repeal of bad law. The United States Senate is the most pow erful legislative body in the world, and it's members should be elected by the people of the country just the same as the Representatives in Con- gress are elected.
 This is Government of the people. The people seldom err. The people can be. trusted. I am opposed to delegating away the rights of the people, and where they have been delegated away I would restore them to the people. I trust the people, and I believe in the people. I be- lieve that governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed, and hence I want to restore to the people the right now delegated to the legislatures by the framers of the Constitution, so that the Senate as we'll as the House will be directly responsible to the people and the Government become more and more a representative democracy, where brains, fitness, honesty, ability, ex- perience, and capacity, and not the influence of wealth. shall be the true qualifications for the upper branch of the Feleral Legislature.

HEDGES LIKELY TO PLEAD GUILTY
 TO MANSLAUGHTER
Giuseppe Malvaso Declares He Shot Harry Maudlin
 In Self Defense

It was reported today that Roland Hedges, the Sound Beach grocery clerk who killed James IL. Stewart, viii plead guilty to manslaughter at the present term of the criminal Sn- perior court. Hedges case was eon- sidered by the grand jury yesterday, but a true bill was not brought in against him. ,.
 Hedges was never arrested until this present trouble. He became en- ragged when he was made the victim of an April fool joke and during the dispute struck Stewart on the head with wrench and fatally injured him.
 Giuseppe Malvaso, charged with killing Harry Maudlin of Wilton, is said to have admitted that he shot Maudlin. He alleges self defense. He declares Maudlin drove him out of a shed and fearing that he would att tack him, he shot Maud1in. Malvaso will not be tried at the May term of court.

THE ROWLAND DRY GOODS co.

The people all over this country favor this reform and demand this much-needed change in the Federal Constitution, so that they can vote directly for Senators in Congress, and they appeal to us to enact this law partisan question:; neither is it a sec tional issue. The demand reaches us from all parts of the land and from men in all political parties with a de- gree of unanimity that is as surpr1s- ing as it is reassurinS. It is our duty and to give them a uniform law al- lowing them to vote for Senators in Congress just the same as they now vote for Representatives in Congress. !,
 The right to elect United States Senators by a direct vote of the people is a step in advance and in the in- terest of the general welfare. 1t is the right kind of reform, and I hope it will be succeeded by others, until this Government becomes indeed the greatest and the best and the freest Government the world has ever seen, where the will of the people shall be, as it ought to be. the supreme law of the land.
 MT. Speaker, ever since I have been a member of this House-for nearly IS yeRrs-I have advocated and worked faithfully to bring about the election of Senators in Congress by the direct vote of the people. am the author of this legislation. In every Congress in which I have serv- ed have introduced a joint resolu- ton to amend the Constitution to en- act into law this most desirable re- form, and the record will show that I have done everything in my power. in Congress and out of Congress to secure it's accomplishment.
 Mi f,>f 1re e. s4 self It needs no apology and no ex- planation. I believe it is right. ] know the people favor it. want to see it a part of the fundamental law of the land. I want to make the Senate less aristocratic and more democratic: I want to make it more obedient to man and less responsive to mammon. I want to make it pay more heed to the appeals of the peo- pie and listen less to the demands of plutocracy. I want the Senate to be the peoples Senate, in the interest of the many and for the benefit of all the people, and it's accomplishment masses and herald the dawn of the better day in the onward march of the Republic.
 The adoption of this joint resolu- tion providing for the election of Senators in Congress by the people islatures, stop scandal, and end to a great extent the temptation of poli- tical parties to gerrymander legisla- tive districts for partisan purposes. Let me say to this House that this legislative gerrymandering has been carried further by the Republican party in my own State of New York than perhaps in any other State in the Union. In the State of New York, under the present Republican appor- tionment, the people can not secure a Democratic legislature unless the Democratic party carried the State by at least majority of 100000 votes. And hence I believe the change in our Federal Constitution sought to be made by thi8 joint resolution will ai- most entirely prevent these unfair

A CHECK TO
RHEUMATISM
Dr.. Williams Pink Pills Build Up
the Blood and Overcome
the Rheumatic Poisons.

Rheumatism deties any trcatment''
that does not build up and purify
the blood. The posons OF rheumatism
are in the blood and il il only through
the blood that the disease can be fought
successfully.
Unless the blood is weak and impure,
rheumatism cannot get a foothold.
When IL does the thin and impure
blood Is not strong enough to overcome
the poisons alape. Unjust be strength
ened and purified. DIR. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People are the best blood
building medicine you can take. They
make new blood with every dose and
promptly check further progress OF the
disease. They make the blood 80 pure
and strong that not the least trace Of
rheumatism remains.
Mr.. A. Hamann, farmer on X. +.
ID. No. 2, Eldridge, Iowa, says:
81 used DIR. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People for indigestion and rheu-
matism from which | suffered for over
six years. As these attacks came on
every spring, think they were caused
by impure blood. The rheumatism
was always more severe in my ankles
and knees and especially in my arms,
when had been husking corn or work
ing hard. The pains were so severe
that could hardly sleep at night. |
used liniments OF many kinds, but they
didn't do more than drive the pain TO
some other part OF the body and | did
not get any relief from the Doctors
medicine.
"When l read about DIR. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People in our weekly
paper | made up my mind To try n
