M'DONOUGH
 NOT DISCOURTEOUS TO HOUSE MEMBERS
Advances Excellent Reason Why the Evarts Measure
 Was Killed
Refers to Action of House Tn Picking Prejudiced Members for Conference Committee.
Especial to The Farmer.)


 Naugatuck, Feb. S-Senator McDon- ough, the Democratic leader of the Senate, today took exception to charges made in the press that he had been discourteous to the House in forcing postponement of action in that body on the Evarts bill sent from the House, and issued the following state ment:
 .EThis bill proposed to retain High way Commissioner Macdonald in of flee until the charges against him were meant that whether MT. Cadwell's 8 nomination was confirmed by the Sen ate, MT. Macdonald would continue to hold office. It was so apparent that or two in office and the bill was SC clearly an affront to the Governor, who nominated MT. Caldwell and was so diseourteous to the Senate, who had referred MT. CadweIPs nomination to a legislative committee. that the Democratic Senators deemed it only fair to sunmariIy kill the bill.
 'fIn order that the action taken in this matter could be considered dis courteous to the House the measure must appear fair upon it's face. No politics, could consider the Evarts measure fair upon it's face. When the result of the motion to indefinitely postpone was announced, Senator Perry, Republican minority leader and an acknowledged parliamentarian, said he wanted it underst tood that his vote on the measure just postponed was not cast from partisan standpoint. He believed the proposed amendment was a matter upon which there might be two opinions
 t.I might say further that when il comes to a question of discourtesy submit the following action of the House as a. fair example,: When the Senate sent the McNei1 bill repeating the one million dollar appropriation for New London harbor to the House the latter body refused to concur with the action of the Senate as to com mittee assignment, and sent the bill back on disagreeing action. There upon, the Senate requested commit tee of conference and the House, in stead of selecting an impartial com l mittee, named the two members o1 such conference committee from tho vicinity of New London county. This | action can hardly appeal to the fair | mindedness of an impartial citizen o, this State, for it Is we'll known tha' | not only New London county but al ! that section are bitterly opposed tS { tContlnued on Page 2.0

RAILWAY FIREMEN
 VOTE TO STRIKE
Managers of Eastern Roads Learn That Decision Is
 Almost Unanimous
Would Tie Up Over 52,OOO Miles of Road-No official Announcement Until Sunday, FTremen's
 Leaders Say

New York, Feb S.-The committee of managers of the eastern railroads announced last night that their fire men had voted almost unanimously to strike. A signed statement by Chairman Elisha Lee, for the com n1ittee, says:
 "Advices received by the eastern railroads indicate that the 3O,000 fire men, almost to a man, have voted Yes on the proposition to strike and tie up over 52,0O0 miles of railroads, rather than accept the offer of the companies to arbitrate through a commission of disinterested men of sufficient numbers adequately to con sider the magnitude of the questions at issue.
 ''If the fremen announce that as a result of their strike vote their com mittee will call out, the men, the rail- roads will, of course, take steps inn hnediate1y to prepare for the opera ton of trains under strike conditions.
 'The companies feeb however, that such a catastrophe should, in the pub lie interest, be prevented at all haz- ards
 sponse to the vote of the f1remen, fur ther conferences with the managers will be sought in an effort to reach a settlement of the differences. The fren1en their representative say, are hopeful of coming to an understand ing,

SHOE TRUST IS
 AGAIN ATTACKED
Federal Suit Brought
 Today Under Sher- man Law
Charged With Controlling Over 99 Per Cent of
 Trade

Trenton, Feb. 8-Another assault on
 the United Shoe Machinery trust
 was opened here today when the fed
 eraI district attorney filed g. suit un-
 der the Sherman law against the
 trust, the Keighley Company of New Jersey, Sidney Wilmot Winslow,
 president Of the Shoe Machinery Com pany, and several other officials of the
 Keighley and Shoe Machinery firm.
 The bill alleges that the trust
 now controls more than 99 per cent.
 Of the trade and commerce in the shoe machinery industry; that it has
 methods, that the leasing system whereby it's machinery is let to man ufacturers of shoes is unlawful and that by virtue of it's powers by unfair trade methods the shoe machinery <company forced the. Keighley Com
 pany to join with the ''trust'' in an illegal agreement regarding the leas- ing of shoe machinery.
 The governments bill recites the fact that a civil action against the
 trust is now pending in Massachu- l the legality of the Keighley Company in the New Jersey contract should be
 settled in the New Jersey action Practically the same allegations Of 1 illegal actions as indicated in Massa- chuSetts, are recited. The defendants cited were:
 | 1be On1I0Q SnOe Ad4cn1nSTy@ SO1I1- pany; the Keighley Company; Sidney | TWf1not Winsiow. president of the
 United Shoe Machinery Company; Ed ward F. Hurd, vice president of the corporation; Charles Percy Keigh1ey;
 William Bototmley Keighley and Char l les Reaghley, directors of the Keighley Company of New Jersey. That WdnSlow, H1rd and others l'tconceived the idea of consolidating 1 all the principal manufacturing firms
 and by certain unfair and unlawful
 business methods acquiring a monop- oly of the entire shoe machinery bus iness'', is asserted in the bill.
 By misrepresentation and threats | the petition declares, ttfe shoe ma cl1inery company deprives its compet- itors of their customers. By threats l it has prevented competing concerns
 from entering the business It has
 given rebates to shoe manufacturers to induce them to use exclusively it's machinery. It has discontinued the sale to shoe manufacturers of all the most important machines and unlaw- ! fully devised and put into effect leases
 and licenses containing unreasonable
 and oppressive publications and agree
 ments.''

"IncOrrect" Books Used for OfheT Work by Present
 City Engineer

';If there are any mistakes in the Main street block maps prepared this year, the man accountable for sucn errors is the engineer in charge of the work, who approved the maps and turned them over for the use of the city,
 This was comment today of former City Engineer M. F. McKenna. whom City Engineer Terry has @heId to be responsible for the glaring errors in Main street surveys, as appear on MT. Terry's maps. The disclosures of The Farmer relative to discrepancies in from Republican organ a charge, credited to City Engineer Terry, that the McKenna administration Of the office had led to the errors.
 When City Engineer Terry turned over to the assessors his block maps for the disputed sections of Main St.. bearing this. approval. were accepted as correct. Since the mistakes have become public, City Engineer Terry claims that he Nmade no survey of Main street, and that he based his maps on the "monunent'' records pre- pared by a previous administration
 Former City Engineer McKenna, de- clared today that he didn't care to enter controversy with anyone on the question.
 The monument books, to which MT Terry refers, are records of the of flee" he said, land during my ad- ministration were not altered SO far as the Main street properties in ques- tion are concerned. There was no necessity for any alterations, as no changes were made in that section.
 ''If the city engineer turned over to the assessors maps that contained mistakes. that is entirely up to him. r A checking up probably would have eliminated errors"
 An Interested Main street property owner today took this view Of the case: "City Engineer Terry, according to the newspapers, says he accepted office records in regard to Main street because he thought that sec tioEe Of the city was so important that the figures must have been sCDrrPets-a
 From these figures and other office records. he cays, he prepared his maps Terry regarded this section of the city as so important, why didn't he, in the compilation of his new maps, espe- cialIV survey. that district with the mistakes as have come to noriceR Such importance should work both ways"
 It was learned today that last Spring, Main street was surveyed by City Engineer Terry's men for the pur- pose of checking up and verifying a new building line. At that time the monument books, which MT. Terry now says are inaccurate were used as working basis in the new alignment. pared previous to MHs McKenna's or MT. Terry's adminiStra ton, show frontage of almost exactly 41.74 feet for the Radford B. Smith corner. Pri- to be the correct measurement of the frontage MT.

MEASURES OF
 IMPORTANCE
 TO PEOPLE
Legislature Now Well Un- der Way and There's
 Plenty of Work Ahead

Hartford, Feb. s.-The legislative grist mill may now be said to have gotten well under way By the end of the coming week all of the com mittees will have been organized and ready with assignments. The last day for the intoduction of new business was yesterday. It was the first Fri day session and there was far from a majority in the House. The Senate had a comfortable margin over the necessary number to do business. =.
 Falling Off In Bills
 Compared with the session of two years ago there has been 8 goodly fall ing off in the number of bills. resolu- tions and petitions before the assem- bIy. The clerks estimate the total business at about one-third less. all though there can be no doubt that the substance of the measures that will call for consideration excels that. of any former Connecticut legislature. The total amount of business repe- sented in all forms that has been pre- sented reaches the number of 1898.
 Many Important Measures.
 There are many important measures to be considered The Democratic been introduced covering all of the platform pledges of the last campaign and in like manner the various recom- message of Gov. Baldwin have been embodied into resolutions. Direct primaries, workmen's compensation repeal of the limit in the death dam age bill which was increased from $5, 900 to $10,00O by the last legislature, the income tax amendment, constitu- tional amendment for initiative and referendum, advisory initiative and referendum, ena bling cities to engage in the manufacture and sale of gas and electric light and the acquiring by cities and towns of privately own ed water works abolishing the crimi- nal superior court of Fairfield county, strengthening the public utilities com mission by compelling the commis- sioners to give all of their time to the duties and for the regulation of stocks and bonds of railroads and the stocks and bonds of other public service cor porations, granting to invalid veter- ans of the Spanish Am erican war and their dependents wives and childrer the same aid as now given to the wives and dependent children of civil wal veterans, bill providing that when .
