PREVENTION OF
 STOCK WATERING

A red letter day in the history of charter granting was established in the House. yesterday. The radicals in that body took advantage of quar- rel. between two lighting and power corporations, to amend an amend n1ent to the charter of one of them grant very dangerous features relating to the power of the company to merge with other companies.
 The whole matter of merger was brought under the direction of the public utilities commission. Also un- der the authority of the commission was placed the power to supervise any. stock issue. given for property instead of for money.
 The successful amendment of this charter ought to Have the moral and physical effect of securing similar amendments to the charter of many other. such companies. A number of those charters have been at the foot of the calendar almost since the be- ginning of the session, awaiting the determination of the General Assem- ply as to It's policy in this respect.
 
 committee on interpretations has re- ported a substitute for the bill intro duced by Representative Wilson of Bridgeport, submitting ALL stock and bond issues and proposed mergers to the public utilities commission. The report is drawn by Representative Lockwood of Stamford and is signed by five of the twelve members of the committee.
 The measure drafted by Represen- tative Lockwood is one of the most important measures of the session. It is an attempt to fill the gap in the public utilities law left two years ago when the stock supervision features were omitted from the bill
 When public service corporations fall out, the public is assisted in get ting its due.
 The contest in question was between the lobby affiliated with certain large electric light interests, and the charter sought by the United Electric and Water Company. which desired per mission to build power houses at tide water for the manufacture of cur rent.
 This amendment was passed by the House after it had been made the vehicle for restricting powers prev iousIy granted to the same company and the basis of a valuable precedent, which it is hoped will be followed by The General Assembly for all public service charters.

Savonarola was born Of a noble family in 1452. and at twenty-two entered the Dominican Order at Bologna. As a preacher he acclaimed against the sinfulness of the times, and won a large following.

As result. a re- which Savonarola was the guiding spirit, although without political of flee. He attempted to make Flor ence the model of a Christian com monwea1th, and stern1y repressed all manifestations of vice. His violence and the extremes of his criticism drew upon him the disp1easure of Rome, and he was forbidden to preach. A sentence of x-communication follow ed his defiance of the orders of his su- periors, and he was placed on trial, tortured into avowals he afterward withdrew, and convicted of 1leresy and sedition. The sentence of death passed upon him was confirmed at Rome, and he, with two disciples, was given over to the secular power On May 23, 1498, Savonaro1a. and his two companions were strahgIed, and their bodies burned by the executioncr.

That Jefferson Davis President of the Confederacy, sought to escape by disg guisfng himself in woman's cloth ing, is declared to be an utter fabrioa- ton by Casper knobel, the only sur. Vtyor of the little band of Union sol diers who effected the capture of the southern statesman. MT. Knobel, now citizen of Philadelphia, will begin his seventieth year tomorrow, having been born in Switzerland on May "A, 1S44. As a boy in his native mountain North in the titanic struggle then raging in the United States, and at eighteen he came to America and join ed the Union army. He was a mem Der of the Fourth Michigan Cavalry in 1865, and in May of that year the commander, with headquarters at Ma con, Ga, received word that Jefferson Davis was supposed to be somewhere in the vicinity. MT. Knobe1 recently told of the capture of the Confederate President in the following language:
 After three days and nights of hard riding, we were told that par ty was carnped about a mile and a half from Abbeyvi1le. Our band scat tered into squads of fourteen men each to search for the campers. We found to recognize Davis. levelled my rifle at him and he surrendered at once, without protest. Mrs. Davis had thrown a skirt about her husbands as a protection against the chilly night air, and this probably gave rise to the absurd and baseIess story, about his fleeing in feminine clothing. There is not a word of truth in the yarn.''
