OPPOSITION TO

Eighty Stockholders of Rutland Go. do Not Want Applica-
 ton For Control Granted

Albany, N r., Jan. Representing eighty holders of $750.00O stock of the Rutland Railroad Company, Samuel Untermyer, of New York, appeared before the public service commission, yesterday, in opposition to the apph- cation of the New York, New Haven x Hartford Railroad Company for au- thority to acquire the control of the Rutland road from the New York Central Railroad Company. The mi nority stockholders of the Rutland are seeking to compel the New Ha- ven to buy the minority stock at the same price as Is to be paid for ma jority stock.
 Mr. Untermyer asserted that the pe- tition before the comm 'ssfon was not specific. was insincere and blind as to terms. He insisted that a proper pe- tition should frankly disclose the con troI of the Boston & A bany by the New Haven. the transfer to the New York Central of the Ontario & West ern, and of the Rutland to the New Haven.
 Commissioner Decker asked if such a contingency should arise that the commission saw fit to deny either ap- plication now before it. whether the other would fail or be in any way affected.

Stiff Money Fine

Waterbury Newspaper Men Plead Guilty and Are
 Taxed $500 Each

Waterbury. Jan. 1O.-John H. Cur ley and Samuel Applebaum were fined $500 each and George L. Heron $250 in the superior court yesterday afternoon by Judge Gardiner Greene. presiding at the criminal session.
 Six counts were entered against the the Sunday Telegraph and against whom charges of blackmai were made by Hugh P. McLinden, druggist and James E. Murphy, saioonkSeper.
 All three pleaded guilty to the charges.
 Assistant. State Attorney John F. Kellogg stated to the judge that the pressed and that the three, by plead ing guilty. had saved the state great expense in conducting trials. In view of this, he said, he would recomn1 end that fines instead of jail sentences be imposed upon the three men. There said, and the accused were told that a fine of s1,000 would be recommended. Heron, however, said he could not get enough money together.
 Attorneys Guifoile, SeeFy and To- bin, counsel for Curley, Applebaum and Heron, respectively, pleaded for leniency on the ground that the paper had been suppressed and that it was permanently suppressed, also on ac- count of this being the first time the accused had appeared in court.
 Judge Greene said that the com plaint with which the three were ac- cused was one of the most contempti- fact, however, that the paper has been suppressed and that the accused had saved the state so much Jex- pense, he would impose only fines.

THE POLITICIAN WHO PEDDLES THE PARTY
 POWER FOR HIS OWN POCKET MUST GET OUT

They engineer the defeat of public utilities bills and worlSmen's com pensation in Hartford. They defeat port, arrange matters so that the peo- pie are not permitted to vote on ques- tions of municipal ownership. ieThey make the name of politician a dis grace. are the worst enemies of poli- tfcal parties. and are constantly sell ing. or peddling. the political prestige of their party associates.
 The men who hold office under party systems usuahy have no inter est except to strengthen their party by doing good work.
 But your politician in the lobby desires party power for his own profit He desires to sell it to makeS a few dollars for himself.
 He cares nothing for the fate of his party, and nothing because the things he does have the direct effect of putting his party out of power, re- ducing it's officials to the condition of 'seating snowbaIls," as the slang phrase goes.
 The party grafter, the man in poli- tics for the benefit of public services and his own pocket is in bad odor all over the United States. He is in bad odor in the Republican party. He is in much worse odor in the Demo- cratic party. He is about to be -ex- pelIed for the bad lot that he is.

The argument for. the single maxi mum. as presented by the Bridgeport Teachers Association, leaves the Board of Education in the position where it's further support of the triple maximum must be for the woman's reason, that she will because she will.
