THE ECONOMY
 OF ADVERTISING

Some people seem to think that much of the money spent in advertising is wasted. But does it seem likely that the business men of the United States would spend their bil- lions in this way unless it pro- duced returns?
 The simple truth is that ad- vertising is the least expensive form of salesmanship. To send man around to canvass for your goods the people who read this newspaper, would cost a hundred or more times as much as the price of an ad- vertisement- in the newspaper.
 And the canvasser would not get as good results as the newspaper ad brings. He would find half his prospects , out. Three-quarters of the rest would give him no serious at tention, because when he call ed they would be busy about other matters.
 The newspaper is picked up when people are at leisure. They read it's advertising as carefully as any part of the pa per, and what the merchant says is given thoughtful at tention.

BLEW OFF HEAD WITH
 DOUBLE BARRELED GUN

New Haven. Sept. 20-After spending four hours at the grounds of the New Haven Gun club at Schuetzen Park Hamden testing a new shotgun, ap- parentIy to make certain that it was in perfect condition, Ernest Swanner- a young man about 30 years old, who is believed to have been a strang- CT to this city, committed suicide by shooting himself in the head, yester- day afternoon.
 The mans name was secured through papers found upon his per son, showing that he had been honor ably discharged from the United States navy. He was fairly, well dress ed and had about $40 in his pocket Nothing could be found to give any clue as to why he took his life. Just before he shot himself he secured some paper from the saloon of John Kim Ter, which is a short distance from the Gun club grounds and scrubbed few uninteligible characters upon it. He made several trips to the sa- loon, purchased several drinks ano treated" the proprietor and another man who happened to be in the place on one occasion. He had the shot gun with him on each visit to the sa- loon and on one visit asked MT. Kim Ter if he had any rats he wanted shot

.TROLLEYMEN AND
 COMPANY AT ODDS
Trouble Over Barn Men Breaks Out Again and Conferences
 Are On.
MEN IN SECRET MEETING
Settled Once. But Men Say Road Has Repudiated
 Agre

New Haven, Sept. 2O.-The old trou- ble between the Connecticut company and the members of the Trolleymen's 6 union over the right of the union to have a say in the affairs of the barn
 employees has been reopened and ne
 gotiations are once more under way
 between Vice-President Lucfus F.
 StOrrs and a committee from the men. The men claim that the company has
 failed to live up to the agreement by which the previous trouble was set
 tied and that four of the barn em- ployeS who were restored to work af- ter the previous settlement have been once more discharged and that the
 company refuses to recognize the un- ions right in the matter.
 The issue at stake in the previous trouble was the right of the union to extend its membership to barn em- pIoyes. The men thought that by the
 agreement which ended that trouble MT. Storrs had agreed to the union s right to extend it's membership. The
 road now repudiates this part of the alleged agreement, which means start
 ing of the negotiations all over again with probably more serious results
 The action of the road can mean
 only one thing, some think, and that
 is that the company has decided to make a decided fight on the issue and possibly seize this opportunity of light
 ing the union while public opinion is somewhat on their side The conten-
 tion of the road, however, is that they
 never agreed to the unions right to interfere in the affairs of the barn ern-
 pIoyes and that no agreement has been broken.
 The first trouble was caused by the discharge of several veteran barn em-
 pIoyes a short time after they had oined the trolleymen's union. which Ivy almost solely of motormen and conductors. It was admittedly the intention of the union to etxend it's membership to oth-
 CT employees of the Connecticut conn
 pany.
 After several weeks of negotiating
 the matter was settled by the com pany agreeing to put the men who had been discharged back at work. For a long while the railroad officials refused to receive committee rom the tro1leymen on the ground that they could not represent the barn men. It was upon this point that the chief fight was waged and 1t was claimed by the men after the settlement that the road had agreed to the union 8 right to represent the barn men as we'll as the motormen and the conouc- tors.
 Last Wednesday the union held secret meeting at which the matter was discussed> President Martin E. Breen and a committee later held con ferences with General Manager John K Punderford and Vice-President
 Storrs. The matter was discussed, put no settlement was feached and fur
 ther conferences are to be held. Xne union is to hold another meeting next Wednesday, at which the report or President Breen and the committee will be received
 President Breen said last night that he could make no statement on the matter until next Wednesday.

AT TIM sULL1vAN's BIER
New York sunl

I
 The Bowery paid it's tribute to the memory of Big Tim Sullivan
 It is true that persons of conse- uuence as the world goes-judges and congressman and merchants-came in fine clothes to pause by the body as it lay in the Sullivans' club house at 2O7 Bowery, but g out of 20 of the 15,OOO or 10000 were of the East Side, on the districts that Big Tim gave to Tammany year after year.
 By their code Timothy D. Sullivan was a great man and a good man, risen to what they would have liked to be. In his life they had obeyed him bIindIy while they took his char ity publicly and privately. In his death they suffered very real grief Hundreds thought, many said out right: t'Now that Tim's gone what will happen to us.''
 The scenes in the Bowery and in and about the old clubhouse of the Third Assembly district were the sight of lifetime The sfdhwallxs were packed all day long and far into the night with men and women who stood silently gazing up at the win dow of the room where the body rested. For 19 hours there was a procession up the narrow stairs to tho third floor, around the coffin and down again to the street-a shuffling and a subdued murmur that hardly varied as the hours passed.
 Gentlemen in silk hats and fine raj ment trod on the heels of unwash buns from the lodging houses. Lux ury and poverty rubbed elbows at Sullivan's coffin. Automobiles, scores of big cars, swept down the Bowery wheeled just below the clubhouse, halted at the curb abreast 207 and let out women in furs and silks and diamonds who accom- mpanied up the stairs women from the tenen ent or dragged with them children that hung back in the presence of death.
