BALDWIN PLEADS HE'S
 BANKRUPT

Declaring that Attorney A1fred c. Baldwin, of Shelton, former clerk of the State Senate. is practically bank rupt and is unable to pay his lawyers fees, counsel for the prominent Shelton lawyer appeared before Judge Greene in the superor court this morning and opposed the granting of an allowance to Mrs. Baldwin for the defense of her recent divorce suit. Attorney E. A. Hartman of New Haven, who rep resented Attorney Baldwin, said the lawy assets amount to about, $9,- 900 and his liabilities are a few dol lars more than that amount Attor- ney Hartman stated! that his client must have time to pay his bills or he would have to go into bankr ruptcy.
 Emma R. G. Baldwin was granted a divorce last week on the ground of intolerab1e cruelty but it was agreed that the matter of aliEnony should be argued today. Mrs. Baldwin testified that her husband told her his income for 1911 had been $4,000. He also had an auto and some valuable books, the wife alleged
 Attorney Baldwin took the stand and denied his income was $4,Oo0 a year. He said he had obtained that amount from a. will case and his wife probably to that. He denied he had the valuable books his wife mentioned
 On cross examination Mrs. Baldwin admitted she had taken the piano, sil- verware and cut glass from the house but sal d these be1onged to her. She declared her husband stopped her cred it at the stores last January. The ht- tie daughter Harriette sat with her mother during the proceedings.
 Counsel for the parties could not agree upon the amount of alimony so Judge Greene took the papers.

OLIVER SHES
 QUESTION ON
 COPPER STOCKS
But Admits Ownership of
 1000 Steel Preferred

Washington, June 6.-Although 24 Senators were yet to be heard when the Senate lobby investigation got un- der way, today, acting Chairman Reed was of the opinion that the investiga- tors would be able to turn the light upon some of the so-called lobbyists subpoenaed before adjournment, to- night With the scent of the lobby already strong, Senator Reed was con- vinced that the committee is on the right trail at last and that from some of the scores of men who have been summoned it will be able to extract informa tion confirming President W31- sons lobby statement.
 Senator Oliver, owner of 1000 shares of preferred stock in the Unit ed States Steel Corporation, told the committee he did not expect the tariff in any way to effect it's value.
 In addition to the steel stocks, Sen ator Oliver said he had an investment of S1,50O,0o0 in two Pittsburgh news papers and 7,7o0 preferred and about 50 common shares in the Pittsburgh Coal Company, whose product might be affected by the tariff.
 'I never sought to influence any Senator in regard to the tariff on any of the articles in which I am con-

CREGAN'S EXPERIENCE
Fell Into River and Was Sustained By
 DereIfct Until Rescued.

Three hours in the cold and murlzy waters of the Pequonnock was the ex- perience which befell John Cregan, 28 years old, of the. Yorkshire House. While wandering along the deserted docks at the foot of Wall street about 8 o'clock last night he fell into the river. Although he cannot swim he mana ged to grasp a floating log and shout for help. His cries were not heard until near the midnight hour, when two identified men came to his assistance. Securing a rope it was fastened about the body of the almost unconscious man and he was pulled to the dock Surgeon Davis of the emer- gency staff found him severely chilled and suffering from the shock of long immersion and fear. He was taken to St. Vincent's hospital.

BILL FOR TEACHERS
 AWAITS FATE
1snecial to The Farmer. )


 Hartford, June 6.-What will be the fate of the Teachers Pension bill at the hands of Governor Baldwin? The bill was reported late from the Joint Standing Committee on Education, and it passed at the last minute with an appropriation bill for $80,0o0, car rying the cost of pensions and admin istration for the next two years.
 This late action upon the measure brings it within the pocket veto pow CT of the governor.
 The bill as reported by the commit tee provided that forty years of teach ing should be required to make any person beneficiary. This was amended in the House to thirty years, and the amendment was accepted by. the Senate.
 The amount of the pension for the person who has taught thirty years, is to be forty per cent. of the average yearly contractua1 salary for the five years preceding application for retire. ment But no pension is to be less than $15O per year and none more than $350 per year.
 For the passage of the bill 1t is generally conceded at the capitol that teachers are extraordinarily indebted to Miss Euphrosyne Bowne of Bridge port, whose presentation of the merits of the legislation were of an unusually convincing quality.
