owners would often sell far below what a property is worth. But Wan street is parasite that sucks life blood from the whole nation by en- coufaging the gambling and Get Rich Quick spirit, and by fake manipulation of stocks. Why does not Wall street need strict regulation just as much as the railroads ?-New Haven Union.
 Not a few would like to have Gov ernor Baldwins plans for checking crime given a trial. if for no other reason than to ascertain whether they would be the means of reducing the number of criminals which the state is compelled to maintain. The rapidly increasing number of these offenders, the expense of keeping them in com parative idleness and the fact that Imprisonment in most cases fails to reform, makes the average taxpayer prone to believe it is high time to try the whipping post and other drastic remedies suggested by the governor Ansonia Sentinel.

The 100000 men who last night
obeyed the strike order of the
United Transport Workers have
tied up the city completely.
There are thousands of idle
men at each street corner, and
there are thousands of tons of
perishable freight and food stuffs
rotting in the cars, in the cargo
holds and on the wharves.
mot all the men are out yet.
The executive committee of the
Transport Workers agreed to
permit a number of the, men to
work for few days in order to
prevent accidents. But the ranks
of the strikers are growing hour
ly.
There has not been single
case of disorder. The docks, the
railroad yards and the freight
depots are picketed most thor
oughly, but no violence is being
used.
Employers are finding it utter
ly impossible to get competent
strike breakers owing to the thor
oughnessof the picketing.
Sir Edward Clark, represent
ing the Beard of Trade, today
opened an inquiry into the strike,
summoning before him both rep
resentatives of the master lighter
men and the unions.
General strike order is being
held Ger the heads of employers.

Male Brains Have
 Higher Averages
Dr. Spitzka Finds Females Lower In Abstract Men
 tai Conception

Philadelphia,. May .tN-Dr.> Edward Anthony Spitzka, noted as a, brain, ex- pert the world over, professor of gen. ieraf anatomy at the Jefferson Medical College and director of the Daniel Baugh Institute, after having examin- ed hundreds of human brains declares that women as a sex never will be the equal of man in abstract mental con ception.,
 Apart from that capacity for ab- stract conception pr. Spitzka declares that his examinations have. shown nc difference between the brains of the sexes except that, the feminine brain is smaller, a fact which he attributes to the smaller frame Of the woman. 'sIn . the female brain,'' said Dr. Spitzka, .''the convolutions are. broad CT and, of more simple type. The fe- male brain is usually characterized by a smaller frontal lobe. The frontal lobe is concerned more with the ab- stract concept and therefore itsswould seem that the male is possessed sof greater capacity for abstract concep- tion
 sswhiIe no one will dispute. that the individual woman may excel the. aver age man, it is fact that in the mass the brains. of women are smaller, less richly and less completely Assured and so endowed with less cortical area than those of men,. 4f,

 Charlie" Morse knows Bath so vel that he can call nearly every. adult here by his first name. They believe Morse has not had a square deal, and blame his conviction to the machina4 tions of enemies in the financial world. T
 When word was received here by Morse's closest friend in Bath, the Rev. Francis W. OBrien, of the Peo- ple's Baptist Church, that heswas. re- turning, it did not take long for the news to spread and for plans fox his reception here to take a tentative stage. t.A stN

STATE REGISTER OUT.

"The Connecticut State Register and Manual for>1912 has been issued from the office of State Secretary Matthew H. Rogers. A new style of type has been used in it's makeup this year which renders it a trifle more compact than in former years as the issue has 620 pages against 644 in 1911. It has been brought down to include the, result of borough cleo tionss held as late as April.
 The roll of the General Assembly of 1911 has been so made up as to show asterisks against names of the members who have died since the last register was issued and the list is brought down to the death of Repre- sentative Maltbie of North Branford who died last week. The two maps remain as usual except that the larger one shows the completion of the Shore Line Electric Railway.
