NORWAY'S KING MAY
SOON QUIT THRONE

LONDON, Jan. 4.-The popularity
of King Haakon of Norway isswaning
so rapidly that it is believed he will
soon step down from the throne. He
has tried the king business for six
years and has not made success of
it. His employers, the people of
Norway, would like to get new man
on the job.
The trouble with King Haakon
seems to be that neither he nor his
queen, whose father was King Ed
ward of England, seems to care much
for Norway They spend great deal
of time in England, where they have
a palace, and have often expressed
the wish that they might live In
England permanently.
Again, being king of Norway is not
a mans job. The duties of the king
are so few in that country that one
might attend to them as a sort of
side line, giving his principal atten-
ton to some other avocation. The
only power the king has now is to
confer decorations and this is soon
to be taken away from Haakon.
The people of Norway complain
that King Haakon and his wife are
luxuries too expensive for coun-
try like theirs. Haakon's clothing
bill alone totals 81 ,25O per year. The
other bills of his which they must
pay reach large proportions, and
strangely enough the king does his
trading in England rather than in
Norway.
King Haal1on and Queen Maude
have been spending the holidays in
England. When they return to Nor
way soon the crisis may come, but
they will shed no tears even if asked
to quit the throne. They will come
to England where they think as pri-
vate citizens life would hold much
in store for them.

TWO KILLED IN BIC
NEW JERSEY GALE
Man Blown from Train Into
Newark Bay-Woman
Scared to Death.

of the Jersey Central. He was blown
from a platform into Newark bay
last night while the train was on the
bridge The tide was running IN
toward Newark at the time, but the
body has not yet been recovered.
1t is thought today that the man
was Henry S. Gerdes, of Fourth ave-
nue. and Poplar street, Roselle. He
has not returned home and his disap-
pearance has not been explained. He
is a newcomer in Roselle and little is
known about him there.
According to the conductor the man
was nearly six feet tall about 35
years old, smooth shaver and well
dressed. He boarded the train at Jer-
sey City at 4:40 o'clock. His ticket
was for Roselle, so the conductors
says. The conductor saw him fall and
made an effort to catch him.
Falling signs made the downtown
streets of Newark dangerous during
the storm. Several passersby mar
rowly escaped injury when two large
tubs containing small trees were
blown loose and hurled twenty feet
TO the sidewalk at Market and Hal
sew streets. The sidewalk was foped
off until number of similar tubs had
been removed from the building they
ornamented.
The suburbs suffered even more
severely.
In Nutley the telephone service was
badly crippled by numerous wires
being blow down. The lighting serv-
ice also was crippled.
1t was figured out by the Public
Service Railway Company that fully
100. telegraph poles and trees had
been blown down in such manner
as to slightly impede trolley traffic,
but at no time had there been any
greater delay than seven minutes.
WILMINGTON, Del, Jan. 4.-SfN

boats in the Laurel river during the
storm. according to reports received
here from Laurel, Del.

UMPIRES DON'T
 LIKE TO GIVE UP
 THEIR GOOD JOB

Chicago, April 30. Umpires are supposed to be unhappy persons-to live solitary lives.
 This is the general impression that prevails among the fans. It was such an idea that suggested that title For the umpire is a most unhappy man. to Bill Hough, one of the writers of that erstwhile popular song. Enthusiasts will go to a ball game, call the umpire all sorts of names in a loud tone of voice, and then excIaim to the next fellow. Gee, I'd hate to be that umpire. He's certainly get ting his. bet he wishes he was somewhere e1se.''
 All of this is wrong. The unpires like their work, most of them prefer it to anything else.
 The writer had a talk with Jack Sheridan out on the coast two or three weeks aeso- The veteran handler of the indicator felt the bug returning, although he has stout1y said he'd never umpire again. Bue he was at in San Francisco and in Oakland. He admitted the old fever was beginning to burn again-the old desire to be in the thick of things behind the plate.
 'fI had some mighty good times there,' he said. You don't hear any of the things hurled at you from the stands. Or if you do hear them you soon get to pay no attention to them. Of course players talk pretty rough at times. But when a fellow has his heart and soul bound up in a game you can overlook lot of things It's only when they become absolutely i'm su1ting that you have to use strenu- ous measures.
 Believe me, I've umpired behind some hard teams to manage, too. The toughest of them all were the Ba1ti- more Orioles when Kid Gleason, Hugh Jennings, John McGraw and the rest of that gang were there. tell you what an umpire earned his full salary during these games. But we got so we take it with the rest as a mat ter of course.
 Those Orioles were game boys They won on sheer nerve, trickery and speed. Why they never had much when it came to pitchers, but they could surely get to base and then travel around to home. We umpires had to keep watching them all the time or they'd be putting something over on us.
 Take Hugh Jennings for instance.

JOKE MATCH BETWEEN
 FITz AND DUNKHORST

An April fool joke that was pulled off thirty days late was the bout be- tween Bob Fitzsimmons and Ed Dunkhorst, which took place in Brooklyn thirteen years ago today, with the Brooklyn fans cast for the role of suckers. Dunkhorst had never taken part in a real battle when he met F'itzsimmons. He was a giant in stature, and weighed something less than 300 pounds, but not a whole lot less. Jim Jeffries, who was then train- ing for his fight with Corbett, engaged Ed as a human punching bag. One Sunday the reporters at Jeff's training g camp, being short of news for the Monday morning papers, interview ed' Jeff's trainers, and sent out a story to the effect that Dunkhorst was the coming champion of the world.
 It was joke. but the sport public, enamored of Eds size, took it serious action. A Brooklyn club offered Ed a was crazy like a fox. expressed his 1anky one for the sum of $1,0oO. Ed knew he would stand no chance with Bob, so he wisely demanded that the coin be paid over before the bout.
 F'itz let the human mountain go one round, and then in the second inning sent over punch to the jaw that sent Ed down with crash that broke win dow glass a block away, and sent peo- pie out in the streets to avoid being buried in the ruins when the next quake came. Ed got his thousand, and afterward took part in a number of minor bouts.

GEORGE,L.n1x-HEON ONE
 FOR SCHOOL TAX
~11lWl7FH

Hartford, XHEaE GThe bill taxing parents of H4HA school pupils $10 a year and apF4g1ng the fund for the further education Of such pupils as some obscure authority may select as especially meritorious was given a hearing before the committee on Edu- cation yesterday afternoon. In a let ter Governor Baldwin expressed him. self as in favor of the bill and yes- terday George l.. Fox of New Haven warned the opposition that he should give all its arguments for the sake of refuting them.
 Boiled down, his argument was that the present system under which High schools are maintained is wrong be- cause only a small per cent. of all the children of the State reach the High school Another argument in favor of the bill was that, if the parents were forced to make some sacrifices their children would appreciate their educa- ton more. He said that the Connec- ticut Council of Education in oppos- ing the bill viewed it from a. point of personal bias.
 Representative Stremlau of Meriden said that the Central Labor Union of Meriden was opposed to the bill. John Van Vie of Branford said he had worked hard all his life, had done his best to give his children an edu- cation and was indignant at the no ton that the burden of securing an education should be increa sed.
 Eli Brune1l for the Hartford C. L.. U., remarked that the laboring men would not thank MT. Fox for his la bOrs.

JAMES MEEKER WITH
 THREE YALE SENIORS
 NARROWED ON SOUND

Four Yale students, members of the Yale Corinthfan Yacht club had a thrilling experience and narrow es- cape from watery graves on Sunday when they took a little pleasure trip in one of the little sailing dories of the club to Port Jefferson. The four students, Oliver c. Hoyt of Stamford, James B. Meeker of Bridgeport, Jos eph H. Holiday of St. Louis, and Stanley J. Spiegelberg of New York city, all academic seniors rooming in Vanderbilt. set out in the morning for a day the water. The trip across was uneventfu1 and luncheon was enjoyed on the other side of the sound.
 The return trip. however, was not so propitious. When about half of the passage had been made the ele- ments showed signs of increased dis turbance and deep concern was ex- pressed by the mems faces though forced words of merrinent were the rule. The waters continued to grow rougher until, as the harbor was ap- preached, the boat became utterly unmanageable, being tossed about he1plessly. This did not last long, as soon one huge wave swept the boat onto the dangerous rocks of one of the breakwaters, leaving it stranded there. In this position the young co1legians were absolutely at the mercy of wind and wave. And then to add to the apparent acme of dis comfort came a driving rain beating on and soaking them to the skin. For five interminable hours the post was maintained, all efforts proving un- availing in getting the boat clear of the breakwater.s But at last, at 10 o'clock at night, the deed was accom- plished, and the men reached their dormitories at II, with resolutions to be more consfderate of the weather prophet in the future.
 James Meeker, who graduated from the Bridgeport High school in 1909, has had an almost meteor1c rise in circles devoted to literature having in his early academic years been hon. ored with the chairnanship of the Literary Magazine at Yale. Though now still in his senior year on several occasions he has been made substitute teacher of literature at the institution and but recently has been semi i-offi- cia11y appointed instructor of that branch, which appointment will be of- fcial1y confirmed upon his graduat- ing.
 Had this honor not been be- slowed upon him acceptance of simi- lar offers from several preparatory schools to the faculties of which his reputation had already extended would have been accepted. Mr. Meeher is but 22 years old.

BAL LTIMORE TEN YEARS
 IN THE EASTERN LEAGUE

Baltimore witnessed it's first Eastern League game ten years ago today. The Maryland metropolis broke into or ganfzed ball in 1892 with a club in the American Association, organized as a rival of the National League. In 1884 the Union Association, also organized to fight the old major league, placed a team in Baltimore, but the circuit did not last through the season. After the Players League battle, Baltimore was admitted to the National League, which was enlarged to twelve clubs. In 1894, 1895 and 1896 the world famous Orioles of Baltimore. consid- cred among the greatest of baseball machines in the history of the game, captured the National League pen nant. In 1899 Baltimore and three other clubs were dropped by the Ma tional. and in 1901 Ban Johnson placed an American League club in Baltimore. In 1903 New York took the Baltimore franchise in the Ameri- can League, and the Maryland city had to be content with minor league ball as a member of the Eastern, now the International League. Once since then, in 1908, Baltimore captured the pennant.

The Chicago river will be dragged today in the hope of finding his body. He called the central sta tion at midnight. Sunday, and that is the last heard of him.
 His wife said he was regular in his habits and that he always came home as soon as he was relieved from duty.
 ''I was at the Dearborn street at Il o'clock Sunday night" said Mrs. Will Hams, early today, -.and he told me that he would be home in a few min utes and to have something hot for him. Every pay day he brought home his money and I gave him his quar- ter a day for expenses.''

MANY OPPOSED TO TWO TRACKS
 IN E. BROADWAY
Scores of StrattOrd People Will Protest Against Another
 Trolley Track

In the town hall this evening the se- lectmen will gather to meet the tax payers of the town who are opposed to having the Connecticut company granted the right to put another troll ley track through East Broadway from Main street to the point where the present double tracks begin on East Broadway near White street. That there will be plenty of opposition to granting the trolley company the de- sired permission to double track the street in question goes without saying.
 As a unit the people living on East Broadway appear to be opposed to the double tracking of the street They claim that there Is little enough room for teams and automobiles to pass along the street as 1t is at present with only one track in the street. With another track laid in the street they claim that conditions will be un- bearable.
 The East Broadway residents intend to fight to the last ditch to prevent the trolley company from putting in an- other track on the narrow street on the ground that it will endanger the lives of every child attending the Gen. ter school who has occasion to cross the street, kill the beautiful shade ting into their roots when the street Is widened, and work no benefit what ever to the people of Stratford.,
 The matter will go before the legie- lature at Hartford tmorrow afternoon and it is expected that the Stratford representatives, selectmen and many of the residents of the street will ap- pear at the hearing to oppose the granting of the right to the Connecti- cut company to double track this stretch of residential street in Strat- ford.
