THE END OF THE DREAM W T took place on the road which
 runs from AjacciO to the Cap de
 la Parata. not far from lies san
 guinafreS: not a main travelled road The sun had not yet crossed the mountains. but a crisp gray light lay over land and sea. They fired at the same time The duke lowered his pistol. and through the smoke he saw: Breitmann pitch headforemOst into the thick white dust. Presently. nay ale most instantly. the dust at the left side of the striken man beram me q creep ing blackness. The surgeon sprang forward.

Bridgeport's Trade School
CWaterbury RepublicanN

Waterbury Republican,
 The decision of the administration of the State Trade Schoo' at Bridge port to take one contract each year for a house is distinctly novel, and while there is no doubt that the fur much benefit to the students, there is likely to be evidence in the near fu- ture of anta goniSm to the school from ex' erna1 sources.
 To meet the possibility of criticism from the labor unions, doubt ess, the administration is limiting this work to what one contract per annum will call for. but there is no telling where a departure in the direction may lead to. Perhaps it would be better if the contracts thus sought were for Sta te work and not private contracts. The State has small joFs that would fur nish plenty of experience for the Trs de School students each year and the fac. u'ty could doubtless reach the desired end in taking on some of them.
 While the amount of work to be un- dertaken under the plan now propos- ed, is small, and not likely to affect the labor market seriously, the condi- tiors in the building trades in Con1eC- ticut are not such that the workers are kept too busy, and therein les the danger of friction between the institu- ton and organized journeymen. It will not be surprising if the next Gen eraI Assembly finds itse'f corfron ing a serious problem on account of the decision of the Trade School to accept outside contracts. It is such a fine institution and its purpose Is so good that it will cause general regret if this step does arouse opposition for for the creation of similar institutions Ia

MARX AFFIDAVIT
NOT READ BY MAKER
Mrs. Peterson Says She Signed
Typewriter Statement
Prepared by Others

Why should have asked Mrs.
Peterson to withdraw her affidavit?
wanted to make 1t public said John
Gillespie. regarding a statement in a
morning paper purporting to come
tiom Mrs. Mary Peterson, a former
city hall janitress, that Mr.. Gillespie
had offered her a job IL Marx were
elected, providing she withdrew her
affidavit that she had paid Marx $50
for her city hall position when Marx
was alderman.
Mrs. Peterson told me. in the pres
ence OF her brother and Bob Ruter,
that she did not read the affidavit
which she signed. She said that Mr..
Steffes got a statement from her that
shc had paid money to Ed. Sewell;
that later she was called before Mr..
Steffes and Mr.. Bowen, the notary
public, and given a typewriter state
nent to sign. She did not read the
statement, nor was IL read to her
Wnen she found out what was in the
statement. she told me that the affi-
davit was wrong: that Sewell, not
Marx, had asked and received the
money.
The affidavit itself shows that it
was drawn up five days before Mrs.
Peterson signed II.
The very first statement in the
affidavit Is false-that in which Mrs.
Peterson says she entered the employ
of the city In 1900. She became a
city janitress in 1896. she had held
her position four years when the in
cident happened.
why should | offer her city joby
She has one now. So has her father.
John Nagel told a reporter several
days ago that II certain woman
could be made to talk. Marx would be
defeated.
"As for my being 'shadowed' by
two morning paper reporters, last
Tuesday night, l only know that one
of the two men who came to Mrs.
Peterson's house was introduced to
Bob Rutter as a labor union mem
ber, and the other ran away when I
appeared at the door.

Cay all about my alleged attempts TO
get Mrs. Peterson to back down, why
didn't they print itY'

registered in police headquarters on a
charge OF gaming" The raid re-
suited in further bitterness between
Justice Jeffries and certain members
of the police force.
While the men were being register
ed, an order for their release, to APP
pear in court IL wanted, was received
from Justice Jeffries.
Abe Ackerman, close political friend
OF Justice Jeffries was caught I'm the
police net, and the officers we're In
clined to make large play on that
fact. in connection with the releases.
Later Patrolmen Mckay and Call.
sen called on Justice Jeffries and ask
ed for warrants. They reported back
that they had been turned down. very
unceremonIously. They said that JUS
tice Jeffries accused them OF "bluf-
fng."
Jeffriea says the police had no case
against the men as they were not ac-
tually caught gambling.
