GAINED z6 TELEPHONES
 DAILY IN THE YEAR. Growth of the Southern N. E.-CaIIs Per Day Averaged 465,4c6.

The development of the Southern New England Telephone company's service during the year 1912 shows that on the first day of January, 1913, there were one hundred and two thousand, six hundred and thirty y-nine telephones in the State of Connecticut served by the company. This represents a growth of nine thousand, four hundred and forty three telephones during the past year or an average of over twenty six telephones per day during that period. If the proof of the pudding lies in the eating, as we believe it does, this growth indicates both the increas- ing value of telephone service as a means of business. domestic and so- cial communications.
 During the year approximately 169,- S73,275 local calls were passed in Con necticut ,an average of 565,406 calls per day. During the same period B. 024,500 toll line messages, that is to say calls to exchanges outside of the one in which the calling party is To- cated, were passed. To compute the thousands of miles of travel and the hundreds of hours of time these calls have saved would give figure almost beyond belief. Both figures, however, do give some idea of the tremendous quantity of business transacted over the telephone, use that grows with each day

DEMOCRATS ATTEMPT TO
 REVIVE SPoILS SYSTEM House Votes to Annal Taft's Post Office
 Order,

Washington. Jan. 13.-An amend n1ent to the post office appropriation bill to annu1 executive orders placing assistant postmasters and clerks in first class offices and all fourth class post masters under the classified service, was adopted today by the house sit- ting as a committee of the whole. The vote was 49 to IS. all republicans re- fraining from voting and many demo- crats absenting themselves from the chamber. Republican leaders had quietly cautioned the members on their side to let the democrats settle the matter among themselves.
 This amendment will be a storm center when the appropriation bill is reported to the house from the com mittee of the whole probably tomor- row. Many democrats oppose 1t, but Representative Cu1lop of Indiana, who offered the amendment, and others, de- nounce President Taft's executive or ders as partisan actions to perpetuate in office republicans appointed under the spells system.

Evanson is Reappointed.

Postmaster Hans Evanson of Cal
mar, has been reappointed postmas-
ter by President Taft, upon the rec
ommendation of Congressman Hau-
gen, but there is much doubt of his
confirmation, as the democrats in the
senate are running out like a pack
of towards whenever the matter of
an executive session for confirmation
comes up, to prevent a quorum.
Such a travesty upon American pat
riotism is scarcely believable. The
United States Senate. for generations
the most distinguished deliberative
body on earth, at the very threshold
of democratic supremacy, afraid to
meet the issue, afraid to stand UP
like men and be counted. Numerous
appointments of the President are
being held up. Why? Is he not
still president? Is he not absolute
ly within not only his right, but his
duty In making appointments to Of
| fees which expire during his term
Is Wilson president now? Did not
the last democratic president make
appointments up to the very last day
Of his term, and were they not con-
firmed by the republican senate?
How long will the American people
stand for such politics? How far
reaching will such action become
Washington for, to rush out in body
when their vote is needed? What a
precedent to establish! What will
term, and where will the whole thing
end?

many that it is impossible to enum-

date. The woman's suffrage ques-
tion, the tax question, balloting upon
saloon petitions, change in county
government and administration, the
road laws, the judiciary, the school

direct inheritance tax, are only
few of the leading problems to be
solved, each of which will take much
time and study and debate. The in
dications point to an extended and
interesting sesesion.

could not get in good condition, and
they insisted upon pulling it off on
that day.
Palzer departed Friday night for
Minneapolis, and Minot, N. D., where
he has farming interests. He will
return here from there and then go to
Ossian to visit his parents, after
which he will go to New York, and
expects soon to go to Paris, having
received word from his manager that
he has been matched with Jack
Johnson, the black champion. Pal
ger is only twenty-three years old,
is getting valuable experience in the
ring, says he knows enough to keep
straight and save his money, and
seems to have a brilliant future in
this business ahead of him.
The above statement of Palzer
seems to bear out the opinion of
famous sporting men who saw the
fight. Here are a few extracts from
long article written by Bat Mas
terson of New York, one of the best
sporting authorities in the country,
concerning Palzer:
Il had every reason for believing
that Palzer was suffering from an
ailment far more serious than tonsil-
tits, and told ORourke so. But he
coiI fc<o t.,
sore throat Tom said, and a change
of climate will straighten him out in
a little while All right / said,
but wait and see what happens when
Palzer starts training / then told
O'Rourke about my experience with
Charley Mitchell in Florida when he
was training to fight Jim Corbett,
but O'Rourke only smiled and re-
peated that / was mistaken.
The further fact that Palzer was
constantly watching ORourke for in
tructions showed plainly that he
had no confidence in himself. Instead
of tearing In and smashing away
without paying any attention to in
structions from his corner, he acted
as If he realized that he was a mere
tyro at the game and couldn't win
without O'Rourke's advice. This is
doubtless the way Palzer felt. At
any rate, that is what his actions in
dicated.
I; for one, have not lost faith in
Palzer's fighting ability. In good
health and proper condition / believe
he can whip any white man living.
But hesmnst be right to win. When
out of condition Palzer is a poor
fighter. He can't untrack himself,
SO to speak; but when on edge he
can hit his opponent, and when he
hits him it matters not how sturdy
the opponent may be, he is sure to
slow up and then Palzer will hit him
again, and it doesn't take many of
PalZers blows to win a battle. That
is why, think he still has chance"
Ole Marsh, the Decorah wrestler,
saw the fight, and day or two af-
terward wrote card to Joe Shima,
as follows: "On my way back from
big fight. Palzer was in bad shape,
and was badly coached. It's too bad,
for / think he is the best man. But
a man must be in shape to fight,
wrestle or anything else" He also
wrote his brother Charles along the
same lines. SO it seems that many
do not believe Palzer got such a.
bad beating as reported, after all,
and that when in proper condition,
he can defeat McCarty.

HEARING DELAYED :,
ON BUILDING CASE
Commissioners Power to En-
force Regulations BY Fines
Is Issue Involved.

Argument of the question whether the
Commissioners have the power to en-
force the building regulations by i'm
position of fines for violations was not
made I'm the District Police Court to-
day as planned. Attorneys Robert /.
Miller and George c. Gertman. who
raised the point while arguing the case
of their client, Francis ii. Javins,
charged with altering a shed without a
permit, were present to test the valid
ity of the penal clause of the regula-
ton. but Assistant Corporation Coun-
sci Williams declared the Government
was not ready, and a continuance was
granted until next Friday.
Argument of the point that the Com
missioners have not the power to i'm
pose fines for violation of the regula-
tions VIII center around that wording
of the statute giving the local authori-
ties power Ito enforce" the regulation.
If the words Ito enforce" can be con-
strued to mean that the Commission
ers can impose fines. the regulations
as they stand will be ruled valid. II
on the contrary the court holds that
the power Ito enforce" does not i'm
ply the power to fine for violation or
that the power to fine must be ex-
pressly given and not given by impli-
cation TO the Commissioners by Con-
gress, the regulations. In force 'ever
since 1870 will be practically void, in
that they, cannot. be enforced. =,
