ATTACK MEAT BUYERS
Near Riot in Chicago When 3 Butcher
 Sells at Old Price.

Chicago, H., June 7.-The first signs of weakening on the part Of the kosher butchers in their con- troversy with the packers over the price of kosher-kilied meat brought forth angry. protests from Orthodox Jewish housewives yesterday. A clash that for a time threatened to develop into a riot took place at West Tay- Tor and South Paulina streets when a butcher in a nearby shop offered meat from the Armour plant at the old price.
 The news spread rapidly. and when the buyers returned to the street they were met with shouts of protest and threats of violence Every pound of meat was torn from their hands and cast into the gutter, and only the prompt arrival of the police prevent ed the crowd from venting it's anger in a more serious manner.
 In order to forestall any attempt on the part of the butchers to reach on the. foHmer price, a meeting of Jewish housewives has been called for this afternoon. Members will be asked to pledge themselves not to buy meat until the butchers can pur- chase the kosher product at what the association considers reasona ble rate.
 Many of the shops are still open, and brisk trade is being carried on in canned goods, chicken, and fish, but the demand for meat is growing greater

Honest John Dos Passes

One John R. Dos Passes, described as "an economist and legal author ity of New York;" has made remarks upon direct primaries to young men graduating from the George Wash ington University, of Washington.
 If the reports of his speech do him justice he is an economist of the school of confusion and a legal au- thority upon the wrong thing
 He told these budding young men that the advocates of direct primar- ies warrant them to cure not one, but all of the evils of the body poIi- tic.''
 He concludes: '"The birth and death of direct primaries are simultaneous"
 As to his first claim, it may be said that direct primaries are expected to keep the Dos Passes and legal author itfes of the like stripe out of office, but cannot keep them from teaching polit- 'ical prejudice and folly to young men. Hence direct primaries are not cure all They will not prevent a contin- uance of the mental breed of Dos Pas sos and so fall short of full meas ure of usefulness.
 His second claim has nothing. to support it. Many states have passed direct primary laws. Many more states are about to pass them. No state has repealed such law, or has returned to the convention system.
 All the evidence tends to show that the birth and death of direct primar- ies are not simultaneous within or dinary terminology. But John R. Dos Passes, economist and legal author ity of New York;" doubtless has lex icon of his own.
 A stupid fellow is John. And he says: we should have homogen- eous nation. We should shut out the uneducated foreigner from political suffrage and thus raise the standard of citizenship
 Bless the foreigner! He clinches the certainty that there never shall be a nation of homines of the Dos Passes brand.
 What the country really wants is a statute to keep uneducated economists and quack legal authorities from thrusting un-American theories into the receptive minds of adolescent youth.

Columbus Monument
 Dedicated Today

In the presence of the most distin- guished men of the Knights of Co., lumbus order from all the jurisdic- tions of the United States and Can ada, and of high officials and diplo- mats from all the countries of the New World, an imposing memorial 70 Christopher Columbus, the discoverer of America, was unveiled in Washing ton today. The monument occupies a site on the Plaza of the Union Station, and in form is a huge shaft, at the back of fountain. In the latter pro- jectS a caraval, on the prow of which stands the figure of the Great Dis coverer. The shaft is surmounted by an immense globe, upon which the Western World is delineated in bold relief, guarded by eagles. ReplHas of two men stand on either sideObf the shaft, an old patriarch represent ing Europe, while an Indian is indi- cative of American. On the back of the shaft is a medallion of Ferdinand and Isabella. White granite is the material used, except for the figure of Columbus, which is in marble
 Lorado Taft, the Chicago sculptor, was the creator of the heroic Colum- bus figure, which has won high com mendation from critics MT. Taft is a native of Illinois and is fifty-two years of age. He was educated at the University of Illinois and later studied at .Ecole des BeauX Arts in Paris.

Thayer's Work

Charles F. Thayer. long mayor of Norwich. has set an example of poli- dcal courtesy in keeping with his splendid record as executive and a Democrat. Mir. Thayer was beaten in the caucus for a renomination. He nevertheless assisted in the election of tte successful candidate, Timothy c- Murphy, and after the choice of the latter by the voters gave him hearty congratulations upon his suc- cess. Mayor Murphy is fortunate in having such a fOeman and such friend.
 Mayor Thayer holds the record among Connecticut mayors for civic accomplishment. He was instrument 1l in -municipalizing both gas and Electric light services in Norwich, and that city enjoys the distinction---for it is that Tn Connecticut-of owning it's own water. gas and electric light works If Mayor Murphy adds in equal measure to the municipal pres tige, Norwich will be blessed among -it;cy

OLYMPIC TRIALS TO-DAY IN
 UNITED STATES AND CANADA

Trials for the teams Of picked ath- letes that will represent both the
 United States and Canada in the Olympic games in Stockholm this summer, will be held today. North western field at Evanston, H., will be the scene of the Central meet, while the Eastern try-Outs will be staged in Harvard Stadium, and the Canad- ian trials on the grounds of the Mon treal Amateur Athletic Association
 The events to be decided at each of these try-out meetings are as follows: 100, 200, 400, 800, 1,5OO, 5000 and 10, 900 metres, flat; 100 metres hurdle race; running and standing, high and broad jumps; hop. step and jump: pole vault; throwing the javelin, right and left hand; throwing the discus, right and left hand: putting the shot, right and left hand, and throwing the ham mer. All of these tryouts are mere ly guides, and the Olympic committees may, if they wish choose any athlete unable to compete in them. The team selection committees of both the United States and Canada will prob ably decide upon the teams Monday, and the United States team will sail for Stockholm on next Friday, and the Dominion aggregation on the follow ing day. The steamship Finland has been specially chartered to carry Un- cle Sam's star athletes to Sweden,an leaving New York on the fourteenth will probably reach the Swedish cap 1tal on June %. after a brief stop at Antwerp, Belgium. The Finland will remain in the Stockholm harbor until after all the athletic events have been decided on July IF. Many prominent men will accompany the athletes on the Finland and their pas sage money will help pay the expen- ses of chartering the vessel. The Ca nadlan team will assemble at Mon treal a week from to-day and will sail on the Teutonic, due at Liver pool on June 2. The oarsmen will go to Henley and the track and field men will go to Crystal Palace and la ter will train with the British Olyn- pic competitors at Upper Morworth. The Canucks will land in Stockholm a week before the beginning of the games, which begin July 13

ture" that is considered authorita- tive.
 It was over five years ago that Con- gress passed an act appropriatinng $100,000 for the erection of a -Colum- bus memorial in the United States capital. President Taft, then Secre- tary of War, became the chairman of the commission organized to carry out the project. After inspection of sey- eral sites, it was decided to erect the monument where all visitors to the city could see fiat the gateway to the capital, the plaza directly facing the magnificent Union Station.
 The Knights of Columbus, Catho- ic fraternal organization with some 9OO,O0O members in the United States, Canada and Mexico, early manifested an interest in the project, and arrang-. ed for excursions to Washington to- day from nearly every important city of North America. The parade of the members of the order will be a spec tacular feature of the dedicatory ex- ercises. .a.~

A Necessary Factor

The New Haven Union advises the trolleymen to arbitrate. The advice is excellent although in the last arbi- tration the men were badly cooked. But the committee that arbitrated de- clined to consider the inflated capital ization of the trolley monopoly. in con- sidering the ability Of the company to pay more wages.
 The Union suggest that the arbitra- tors should. in the present instance, go into the matter of capitalization.
 This is certainly the case. In wage arbitration it is usual to consid- CT what the men OUGHT TO GET in relation to the cost of living, and the ABILITY of the company to pay the equitable wages.
 There can be no intelligent arbitra- tion unless the committee considers the capitalization of the companies, unless it is agreed before hand that the ability of the employer to pay shall not be considered, but only the need of the employees for more wages that they may meet the higher cost of the necessities of life.
 In rate regulation common car- rier IS not excused because it is pay ing dividends on a certain amount of water.
 The law is that water is not entitled to dividends.
 This is why the matter of capital ization is so important in wage controversy. The trolley monopoly is entitled to a profit on it's actual in- vestment. It is not entitled to a prof it on a lie about it's investment. &
 Any profit upon a lie about the in vestment is proper fund to draw up- on to increase wages.
 An arbitration that did not consid- CT capitalization would be no arbitra- ton whatever.
 The men should insist upon the in- clusion of this factor as they should decline to arbitrate, upon the ground that an arbitration which refuses to consider any matter which is of the essence of the controversy is no arbi- tration,. but a sham and a pretense

FIRST THINGS

The first death from Asiatic cholera In North America occurred eighty
 years ago today at Quebec. The plague spread over Canada and the
 United States, causing many deaths. The cholera had appeared in India in 1877, and became epidemic in Lower
 Bengal, gradually spreading until it reached Russia in 1880, and Germany in the following year, causing the death of nearly million people. In the autumn of 1881 the diseease made its appearance in England and Scot cases developing in the wide stretch of country from Quebec to. New. Or leans. In 1S4S and 1S49 about 54, 900 persons died of cholera, in England and Wales, and in 1854 sthe victims numbered 10000. Both epidemics reached America, slightly in 1S49 and severely in 1855. Medical and sani- tary science has since grappled with the disease and it is no longer to be feared.
 The first. newspaper in Brooklyn, New York, was issued 130 years ago today, under the imposing title of The Brooklyn Hall Super-Extra Gazette. tie news, and would hardly be called super-extra in these days.
 Tomorrow is the centennial of the birth of Johann Gottfried Galle, the German astronomer who was the first observer of the planet Neptune. Herr Galle, who died in 1910 at Potsdam. was born at Pabsthaus, near Grafton hainechen, Prussia, June g. 1S12 His discovery of the planet Neptune oc- cured on Sept. g. 1846. In the few years following he discovered three comets. Prior to the discovery of Neptune, the most remote of planets, had been observed in the movements of the planet Uranus, not to be accounted for by the attraction of any known body.s M Leverrfier of France reasoned that the perturba- tions must proceed from a yet undis- covered planet, and independently cal- culated the probable place in the sky which such a planet would occupy, at about the same time that similar cal culations were made by MT. Adams of England Dr. Galle, upon receiv- ing the calculations, promptly looked on the heavens and the very same ev- ening he began his search found the planet since called Neptune. Nep- tune has diameter of 35,000 miles and density one-fifth that of earth.

PIRATE GOLD ESTABLISHED
 THE SAILORS SNUG HARBOTs,


 One hundred and thirteen years ago June g, 1799, deed was execut- ed whereby one Robert Richard Ran dall became the owner of farm" on the island of Manhattan. The pur- chase price was in the neighborhood of $20, ,000--and there were some who thought Randall had been cheated. That farm, then lowering on the out skirts of the American metropolis, is now that section of downtown New York bounded by Fourth and Fifth avenues and. Eight and Tenth streets. It is worth, perhaps $50. .000, ,0O0-and it belongs to less than thousand deep sea sailors, now retired and living in luxury at Sailors Snug Harbor, on Staten Island. And no matter how hard those poor old tars try, they can't begin to spend their income. They live in palaces. they have every convenience and comfort that modern art and science can afford, they have playhouse of their own and engage

In Chicago

Events in Chicago are moving rap- idly MT. Taft's friends have the na-
 ional committee by two to one. Mir. Roosevelts contesting delegations will be thrown out with neatness and des- patch. Taft seems to have major ity of the delegates, but his hold is .enuous and a little thing might send enough over to Roosevelt to assure his nomination. It begins to look as If the ex-president would in person manage his campaign for control of he convention, which would give him no small advantage of Taft, who would scarcely be on the ground. Delegates like to deal with principals. Among the possibilities that seem nearer is the control of the conven- ion by Senator LaFollette through he balance of power.
 This is the last rally of the old guard. It is the convention against the primary. As a matter of argu- nient Roosevelt has the best of it. His authority comes directly from the Republican voters of the states that give majority to the Republican par

COLORADO GOVERNOR ADVOCATES FAT
 REDUCING CALISTHENICS

"Who wants to greet the dewy morn by laying flat on his back and lifting his feet fifty times?'' The in quirer is MT. Irwin s. Cobb, one of Americas fattest and most disting- uished humorists. And since Irv ap- parently is thirsting for information. will tell him. The party he asks about is John Franklin Shafroth, and changed is: State House, Denver. Colo. MT. Shafroth now has "a job governing the grand State of Colorado. He is a native of the ShowMe State, and will be fifty-eight. years old to- morrow. As Democratic statesman. he is declared by no less an authority than William Jennings Bryan to be of such pulchritude and puissancee as to merit four years residence in the White House, Washington. D. c. It has even been rumOred that Mr. Bryan has scheme to inject Gov. Shafroth timOre as his own personal candidate for: the Presidential nomination. But that is neither here nor wonder. Gov. Shafroth's pre-eminent service to fat burdened humanity is a method of re- ducing surplus flesh by means that are pleasant and painless. /
 Gov. ShafrOth calls his system "bed calisthenics.' The method. to be fol- lowed upon retiring and before get ting up in the morning, is to kick the feet in the atmosphere With, great wig" or and earnestness, repeating the mo- tions until slightly tired. If these di- rections are followed consistently, the Colorado Governor declares that the fat will not only fade slowly away. but it will be found of great benefit to. the general health. At night, the exercise cures any tendency towards insomnia and in the early A. M, it gives vigor and energy for the pur- suits of the day.
 Gov. Shafroth also recommends the practice of repeatedly bending over. with knees stiff, and touching the toes with the fingers as a sure weight res ducer Of this exercise MT. Cobb, previously quoted has said: That's no employment for a grown man with a family to support and 8 position to maintain in society. Besides which it cannot be done. And if it could be done-which as I say it can't-there would be no real pleasure in touch ing a set of toes that one has known of only by common .rumor for years" On that point, author and Governor disagrees, for MT. Shafroth insists that the feat is easy for accomplish mentor that the feet are easy of ac- complishment.
 The Colorado Governor is what is described by swashbuckling novelists as "a big, up-standing, two-fisted man with red gore in his veins.' He is six feet high and weighs somewhere in the neighborhood~ of 225 pounds. The terrible responsibilities of governing

An Educational Need

Three things are essential to the maintenance of human life. They ire air, food and water. Of these air is the most important, for air hunger comes quickly and kills soon- sst. Temperature is another impor- tant factor. The temperature range within which the human body is eff fi,ient is short.
 The prime considerations in the construction of a building in which many persons are to assemble are the ventilation and heating. If the as- 1. semblage is of school children met to- sether to be taught through a num- Der or hours a day, then light be- comes important.
 An investigation in Bridgeport and in many other cities, we believe will show that these three matters of light, temperature and ventilation are the most neglected.
 How many of the ills to which chil- dren.sare rshdJzffv afea ,assignable to overloaded. poorly ventilated and inn properly lighted rooms?
 The evidence shows that much sick ness is the result of these causes. De- fects of vision come from poor light ing Diseases of the respiratory or gans come from poor ventilation. The resistance of the little bodies is low cred by underheating and overheating of school rooms and they become vic- tims of any infection.
 Poor air is the most serious evil. But even when air is good tempera- ture has much to do with the comfort of the school room and the capacity of the children for work.
 Exhaustive experiments have shown that the children do their best work in 9 room whose temperature is between ss and 70 degrees. It is better to have the room too cold than too. hot. Very complete tests have proved that the same children do better work in rooms of the proper temperature than in rooms that are too hot.
 The humidity of the atmosphere of the school room has a relation to :ts heating. In the winter time the meis- ture should run from 40 to 50 per cent. is the opinion of investigators.
 It is suggested that if there is to be an investigation of the Bridgeport School system that it should be ,fiRst directed to ascertainine. the qualify of the yentilation snds ttne of the school rooms, and theatemperature at which the rooms are kept during the winter season.
 No amount of learning will compen- sate for the loss of health that fol- lows when pupils breath exhausted air, study in overheated quarters and work in poor light
