STOCKS TUMBLE AND MARKET IS
 IN NEAR PANIC

New York, June 4.-The excitem ent on the stock exchange during the first hour of today's market was probably without parallel since the panic or 1907. Stocks were literally poured out regardless of quoted prices, with declines greatest in the standard shares.
 One of the main factors making for the liquidation was the overnight news from Washington indicating a radical attitude on the part of the ad- ninistration in connection with the American Tobacco Co. and the Stand ard Oil Co. Another influence was the decidedly lower level of prices quoted by London during the open ing.
 Within the first hour sales of stocks amounted to 300,0OO shares and 50 new low records for the year were made, with the losses ranging from 2 to points among the standard issues. The average of prices was at the low est point since the 1907 panic. Som e of the. new bond quotations such as Baltimore & Ohio convertib1es. New York City new figs and St. Paul 19 s also were depressed.
 There were several feeble rallies in the second hour but the falling move m aent gathered greater momentum be- fore noon and lower prices were reg istered practically throughout the list The aggregate of sales during the morning session was well in excess of 5O0,00O shares.
 At 1 o'clock the liquidation was checked and recoVeries reaching one point were noted.

 BENEFIT POINTED
 OUT IN MUSEUM

Philadelphia, June 4-Benjanin Ives Gilman. Of the Boston Museum of Fine Arts,l was the principal speaker, last night. at the session of the American Association of Museum Managers now holding it's eighth annual convention here. He created discussion by assert ing that 1t was ''inartistic'' to have labels on pictures displayed in nu- seums
 MT. Gilman who recently made 8 tour. of the principal art museums of Europe, declared that many were poor ly lighted and that too often the arch lecture of the building fnterfered with proper appreciation of the treas ures stored in them. The architecture of a museum, he said, should be plain.
 At the conclusion of MT. Gi1maf1s talk, ELI Morris of the Brooklyn In stitute Museums, defended the 1abel-. ling. of pictures.
 "Art nuseuns," he said. 'are in- tended for the education of those who visit them. Not only should a pie ture be plainly labelled but descriptive material for each one should be made accessible
 Dr. Franklin W. Hooper, of the Brooklyn Institute, pointed out the necessity of an industrial museum in every large city. The educational ben' eft to be derived from euch an instf- tuition, he said, couldn't be over-esti- mated.

Democratic members of the i1dfcisrvs committee who had heard all of t6e evidence presented in favor Of the, rf val candidates He said that in his Judgment the people of Br.tdgeporEl and the Democratic members Of the House should have a say as to who their candidate for judge should be- if inc judge was to be a Democrat He was certain the Democrats oGl Bridgeport would never countenance a. judge of their own political faith whos was put through by the RepubEfcansi in the House as it was proposed ec, do. in this case He referred to the a1r-, cellent record of MT. Bent at tha- 1asn' legislature, spoke of his ability. as a. lawyer and sa1d that although he fear ed the die was cast, 1t was the duty of the Democrats to stand by him
 Republican House Leader HeaIy4 urged that Judge Coughlin be elected and said that the article in the Teie- what he had said even though his at titude might seemingly bear 1t out He said he had asked a. lawyer in Bridge port. whom in his judgment he would retain, if he required the services of a lawyer, as between Judge Couzhlin and MT. Bent, and said his friend told him he would ernploy Judge Cough lin.
 This convinced him that Judgs Cough1in was the better man for the place. The vote was then taken with the above result
 The resolution naming R. c. De. Forest for deputy judge was not reached ID to the time the House took a recess until 2:15, but adherents Of Judge C0ughlin said the DeForest res olution would surely pass the House sometime before adjournment was talk en this afternoon.
 It is we'll understood that in the deal by which the name of Judge Coughlin was substituted for that of Bent in the House, Attorney John F. . Gray, law partner of Representative Clitus H. King of Fairfield. will be provided with a berth in the city court.
 It Is understood that Prosecutor Al exander De Ianey will retain his pres ent position There is also talk of Attorney Hugh Lavery being prOTid- ed with some position.

SUBPOENAS FOR
 so SUGAR MEN
 IN LOBBY HUNT

Washington, June 4.-The Hobby hunt took on a new and sensational turn, today, when the Senate began issuing subpoenas for nearly 60 men, all of whom are said to be identified with the sugar interests. A flock of sergeants- started out, today, to summon the witnesses for next week by which time the investigators will have finished taking testim ony of senators and plunge into the examfna-- ton of the so-called 'Iobbyists.
 It is generally assumed here that President Wilson furnished the names Of those about to be subpoenaed. Frank c. Lowry, known in legislative circles here as f'the free sugar man.; Henry G. Oxnard, one of the best known sugar men, and Truman Palmer are among those for whom summons have been issued.
 This new turn of affairs, many be ieve, is one of the results of the Presidents recent conference with. Senator Overall While tho subpoenas

 Cough1in therefore received 21 votes more than he needed. There were A Democratic votes with the Republican vote for Coughlin. The remainder of the Democrats, S5 in number voted against the measure, which called for the substitution of Coughltn's name for that of Former Representative Vim. W. Bent.
 The Bridgeport representatives, Lynn w. Wilson and Col. John H. Mo Murray denounced the methods by which the forces backing Judge Coughlin were bringing about his election
 Representative wilson made a wig orous speech describing the double machine in Bridgeport and read from the Bridgeport Telegram of today a statement purporting. to have been made by Republican House Leader sHeaIy to the effect that they would send the Cough1in and DeForest resolutions through the House flying" He stated this is proof of the under standing which had been reached be- tween the Republican machine in Bridgeport and the State Republican machine.
 Col. McMurray said that the people of Bridgeport were not in favor of Judge Coughlin and discussed at length the political deals that were made in that city in order to bring about the defeat of former Representa- tive W.

Not Lost but Gone Before.

This stone covers the one great TO- nance of the life of the Master of American finance. . Through all the subsequent years of successful busf- ness and financial triumphs Fairfield always held a warm corner in the trolIer of destinies and the green found in the old cemetery was the centre of the attraction.
 Jonathan Sturges was a native of Fairfield as were generations of his antecedents. He was a man of parts not only in Fairfield but in New York city where his wealth and ability made him a power in the business world. He was a man ofsthorough education and great learning, a model of every thing that was admirable in the gen tleInan of wealth and influence at that period. His children received every advantage that wealth and influence could procure for them. They grew up in an atmosphere of culture and courtliness which is sadly lacking in what it pIeases many to characterize as the swell set of the present time. Jonathan Sturges was we'll known in Wall street during the first half of the last century and it was only natural that he should attract the young and ambitious f1nancier from Hartford who came from the same class and was governed by the. same ideals.
 Even before the war John Pierpont Morgan attracted the older hnancters of New York by his unquestioned abI1- ity. In 1880 he met Amelia Sturges. then a young woman of great beauty and many accomplishments. The great charm of her person was aug mented by mental qualities which made her the reigning belle in New York society before the war. A natural n1usicians she had received every ad- vantage at home and abroad. Her singing received connendation from the, greatest musicians of her time who were often guests at her fathers house in New York and also in Fair field where the family maintained a summer residence. This place is now occupied by Henry c. Sturges and is hidden behind a maze of green o1 the lovely stretches of Mill Plain. The young fnancier was immediately at tracted to the beautiful singer and
