HOdsden Breaks Into Georgetown
School and Creates Excitement.

Georgetown, Conn, Jan. 29.--Trouble
broke forth in the Georgetown district
school again today when J. w. Hodg-
don, a former principal, gained admis-
sion to the school building for the sec
ond time since being relieved of his
duties. Today he is alleged to have
called the scholars in two Of the rooms
of the school to order and dismissed
them after he had been requested to
leave the building by J. w. Ferriss Of
the school committee. In accordance
with orders issued by Mr.. Ferriss, the
doors Of the school building were lock-
ed when Hodgdon was seen approach
ing, and it is alleged that he forced an
entrance. Hodgdon first gained prom
inence on Jan. is. when he Is alleged
to have forced his way into the school
building and been confronted by Fer
riss and before leaving to have fallen
down a flight Of steps, which caused
him to be confined to his bed for sew
eral days.
Committeeman Ferriss today gave
out an official statement in reference
to the discharge Of Hodgdon and sub
sequent events which in part follows:
''Mr. Hodgdon came to Georgetown
under a contract which called for his
attending the Danbury Normal sum-
mer school for the full term of four
weeks and securing there his state ele-
mentary certificate He failed to fulfill
two conditions of the contract, leaving
Danbury without remaining the entire
session Of the summer school and he
has never received his state certificate
This made his contract void. He was
therefore, permitted to teach under a

cuMMlNs. PRoeREssIoNlsT.

Senator a. T.. Cummins Of Iowa is
not finding 60 pleasant work trying
20 carry his state for himself
against Taft. TIE republican papers
are applying the lash to him in a way
THAI must make him squirm.
The Burlington Hawkeye says: THE
political ethics Of Senator Cummins
transaction will not bear scrutiny"
The Butler County Times thinks
Senator Cummins does not care for
any interests except those which will
further himself individually. He talks
much about the interests Of the coun-
try. but unless he is to be the chief
beneficiary he Is feminist the PROPOSE
ucn"
The Baxter New Era says: 'sThe
people OF Iowa are not going to let
Mr. Cummins or any other man have
a delegation TO the national conven-
ton that may be bartered and traded
here and there IN order to give vent
20 some personal spite or obtain some
political advantage to which they are
not entitled"
The Cedar Rapids Republican has
this TO say M Cummins Is, to say
the least a persistent man. He al
ways wants something else. The peo-
pie Of Iowa have been voting for or
against him for twenty years or more.
he never gets through running He
is a sample Of the men who make
office seeking a life business. giving
up everything else for its sake. Mr..
Cummins has recently said that there
IS really nothing in it. that he is tired
Of Il all. but once they are in the
habit OF running they are like the fell
low who has gotten in the habit of
drinking-can't give 1t up. Perhaps
some day some one will discover a
Kelley cure for the politicians"
such comments as these must be
rather teasing 10 the senator's friends
and equally amusing to the supporters
Of President Taft.

ExpoRrs OF AUTOMOBILES.

over 20 million dollars worth of au-
tcmobiles were exported from the
United States in the calendar year
1911, or 20 times as much as a decade
ago. The exports to foreign countries
last year, including tires and other
parts, were valued at $21,6S6,661, and
the shipments to our own non-contig-
uous territories. Hawaii, Porto Rico,
and Alaska, $1.S43,165. Ten years ago
the exports to foreign countries were
but s1,O69,7S9 in value; by 1906 they
had grown to $4,409,1S6; by 1910. to
$14,030,226, and In the calendar year
just ended had risen to $21, 636, 661,
this increase Of 20 million dollars in
the exports of American made auto
mobiles within a single decade being
one Of the most notable achievements
Of our foreign commerce in recent
years.
Meantime, imports Of automobiles
into the United States show a decreas-
ing tendency. From 1902 to 1906, be-
fore the industry had developed in this
country, imports rapidly increased,
from about half million to 5 million
dollars, the high record in imports
Of this class Of vehicles. Since 1906,
however, the imports have steadily
decreased, last years total having been
less than 2 IL million dollars. In
1905, according to the published re-
ports Of the bureau Of statistics, de-
partmelt Of commerce and labor, i'm

imports in that year having been but
$2,44s,24S. and exports 21,sS6,e61, or
about times the value Of the auto

AN INTERESTING PAMPHLET.

Attorney Prentice W. Chase Of New
Haven has Just issued an interesting
pamphlet upon the general subject Of
law. labor and justice. which is Of ex-
ceptional interest TO capital and labor.
The author holds that society itself
should provide means for living direct
W. 70 the person injured, rather than
by supporting him as a charitable OBJ
ject. as all labor is done for the ben
oft Of society. Not only is il unfair
10 labor 10 be made the object Of
charity when It Is incapacitated by
reason Of an accident, but It is unjust
10 capital 10 be compelled TO pay dam
ages resulting from an accident, is the
reasoning OF the author
Since all labor IS done for society as
whole. society should be held &C
.ountabls for the misfortune resulting
from the risks Of labor.
A federal act to provide a fund to
be drawn on for the support Of dis
at'ed workmen is advocated, the fund
10 &c provided out Of the general tax
--ion.
The pamphlet has the merit Of TAX
ing a new view Of old subjects and Of
presenting them to its readers in an
entertaining and logical way.

THE BULLETINS DAILY STORY
FOR THE SICK

the room 1 was plum homesick at
that juncture.
We'll, there never was a man as de-
lirious as Uncle Henry, and when he
saw me leaving he made one spring
from his couch of suffering and land
ed on my back and scared me out Of
five years growth. He rode me about
the hall like an old man of the sea,
and so we went down the stairway
end over end and you could have
heard the commotion in the next
township. Fortunately, Uncle Henry
was underneath when we landed at
the foot of the stairs and l was able to
set home without calling an ambu-
lance. zediker has been spreading a
distorted account of the occurrence all
over the country, saying that | pulled
his uncle out of bed and tried to MUIR
der him with a bootjack.
IF I wasn't SO good hearted I'd have
less trouble, but I'm always doing
something to help my neigf1bors, and
nothing that l do is appreciated. One
day / was passing Traphagen's house
and he was standing on his front
porch weeping as though his heart
would break. l asked him what was
hurting him, and he said that his little
son Ronald was sick, and the lads
Su1erlngS WefeBO intense InaI ne S1lli-
ply couldn't stand it to stay in the

"Come in and see my poor sick boy,
said Traphagen.. Maybe the sight OF
your kind, noble face will cheer him
up So I went in and saw the boy
He was lying on the lounge reading al
Old Sleuth' story and seemed to be
having good time, although his face
was swollen.
"a few days later I had the worst

FEW PAssBooKs COME
IN AT WINDSOR LOCKS
Work on Books Of Savings Bank Pro-
cesdins Very Slowly.

Windsor Locks, Conn, Jan. 20
Work on the books of the Windsor
Locks Savings bank progressed but
slowly today and not many of the de-
positors presented their passbooks.
With the receipt Of notices prepared by
the officers today and which will be
sent out tomorrow it is expected that
the books will come In more rapidly
and the checking up of the accounts
facilitated. The doors of the bank
were opened at the usual time this
morning, but no business was trans
acted and there were no attempts made
by depositors to get their money.
Although the officers and directors OF
the bank admit that the going over of
the accounts may show q shortage,
they do think that IL one is shown it
will be comparatively small and that
1t will be due to poor bookkeeping
rather than an unlawful appropriation
of the funds Starting with the books
used at the opening Of the institution
In 1871, the work today was slow and
will continue in that way until all the
accounts have been gone over. While
the last report of the bank to the state
showed 1880 depositors, there are 1,S00
accounts on the books, but the differ
ence is said to be due to the fact that
deposits have been withdrawn but the
accounts not closed.

COMMISSIONERS ACCUSE
BROWN OF PREJUDICE
Heated WransIe Over New Tariff
Schedule of Railroads.
FLANNELETTE UNDERsKIRTS

Chicago, Jan. ga wrangle marked
the meeting Of railroad commissioners
of seven states and Chief Examiner
George n. Brown of the suspension
committee of the interstate commerce
commission here today, when a new
tariff schedule created nY railroads
in the western states came up for dis
cussion. Later the railroad commits
s1oners left the meeting and issued a
statement that the chief examiner had
''prejudiced the case" of the shippers,
and protested against his attitude.
The trouble started when Commits
sioner Clifford Thorne Of the Iowa
beard asked Brown to recommend a
suspension of the new freight sched-
ule Of the roads which is to go into
effect February Is. for 100 days pend
ing the preparation Of the commits
sioners' attack on the new rates.
Brown was firm In his refusal to
grant the request of the commission
er He said he would proceed to hear
shippers protests.
The state officials then presented
their arguments for a suspension of
the rates and withdrew when they
saw their efforts were futile.
