EASTERN ROADS CHARGED
With, MISREPRESENTATION
W. S. Garter Files Brief In Behalf OF
Demands of Eiremen.

New York, April 1.-THE claim of
the eastern railroads that some of
them would show a deficit in their
earnings If the request of their fire
men for an advance in wages should
be granted is misleading and unfair,
according to contentious set forth in a
brief submitted, today, by w. S. Car
ter, president of the brotherhood of
Locomotive F'irernen and Fnginemen,
to the board of arbitration that is to
decide the wage dispute.
Mr.. Carter sets forth that only 12
of the So roads involved in the. con-
troversy are Independent. These 12
he says, control the 40 others and that
'by a division of traffic or by an al
lotment of earnings might make 40
of the railroads who are appearing
here show a deficit while the t2 pro-
prietary roads, by absorbing the earn
tngs of the subsidiaries, would have
an immense surplus each year. The
proprietary roads, in other words, can
practically any amount they wish.'
1t is further contended that, ex-
Guiding eight roads now showing de-
ficits, the combined surplus of the
railroads involved amounts to $685.
288,931.
with this enormous amount at
their disposal said Mr.. Garter, cit
evident that the railroads are fully
able to pay the increase in wages
asked.
According to the extravagant esti-
mate of the railroads themselves it
would result in an annual charge
amounting to less than one twenty
fifth Of the total amount of surplus

Pankhurst, the suffragette leader, was
released from Holloway Jail, this
morning. after having been on a hun
ger strike" since she was sentenced,
nine days ago, to three years of penal
servitude.
Mrs. Pankhurst was released on IL
cense under the terms of which she
must report at frequent intervals to
the police authorities and in case she
commits any rnisdemeanor she is LA
bic to Immediate arrest without a
warrant and must then serve out her
full term of conviction. 1t is under
stood that the intention OF the au-
thorities is to allow her to be free
only for limited period, until she
rega1ns her strength.
The condition of the sl1ffragette
leader was described, this morning, as
being very grave. She was removed
at once to nursing home where she
was placed under the care of her own
doctor.

Bench Warrant
For C. S. MeHen
Judson's Quest ?

When superior court comes In on
Tuesday morning, having been ad-
5ourned from yesterday, it is under
stood that States Attorney Judson
will at once ask for a bench warrant
in order to bring President Charles 8.
Mellen, of the New York, New Haven
& Hartford Railroad Co., and poesi-
bly, other officers of the company
within the jurisdiction Of the court,
to answer to any charges which might
be preferred as to Mr.. Me11en's re-
Sponsfbility for condition which 1t is
alleged brought about the wreck of
the Springfield Express at Westport,
in October.
It is expected In event OF such appli-
cation. that counsel for the New Ha-
ven company will ask Judge Gardi-
ner Greene for permission to be heard
Immediately on the matter OF issu-
ance of the bench warrant.
In Connecticut practice it is usual to
grant a bench warrant upon the mere
application of the states attorney but
in this case counsel for the company
representing Mr.. Me1len will ask that
before the application is granted they
have a chance to present arguments.

ABOLISH
USELESS
SINECURE
Representative Wilson Asks
That, Death Sentence Be
Passed on Political Court
Especial to The Farmer.)

Hartford, April 12-The judiciary
committee showed a sustained inter-
est in a bill to abolish the Criminal
Common Pleas court Of Fairfield
county, which was argued, yesterday
afternoon, by Representative Lynn w.
Wilson of Bridgeport.
The committee is said to be divided
upon the subject. Some members
would abolish the court, others would
consolidate it with some other court,
and others would name a Democratic
judge and prosecutor and leave it as
it is.
Representative Wilson said: This
court had a bad reputation. 1t has
had it for many years. 1t is a court
that has had little to do, and that has
been paid too much for doing that
little" He then showed that the an
nual expense of the court is about
S19, 900, which, he said, represents
about $4,000 per trial
He offered reports to show that dur
ing the fiscal year 1e11-12 the court
had about eight trials, and during six
tenths of the present court year, but
four trials. Cases were disposed of
upon plea of guilty, or by nolle and
with such an unexplained clemency,
against the views of the lower
courts, to have brought many to
the view that the court is q political
court.
Mr.. Wilson said: -1n the main the
lawyers of Fairfield county believe the
court ought to be rehabilitated or
abolished. There are a few lawyers
of a different mind. I don't know
much about them but I assume that
the lawyers who want that kind of a
court are the kind of lawyers who
would be likely to want that kind Of
a court
1t is pretty well understood that the
bill to abolish the court has had the
effect, at least, of ending any pros
poets for reappofntnent which the
present judge and prosecutor may
have had.
Judge Elmer r. Banks Of Fairfield
is prosecutor and James r. Walsh Of
is Judge.

called out to assist in making repairs,
but none seemed worried, as inunda-

about the corridors OF the buildings
and occasionally reference was made
to the rising water.
Next morning the river was ex-

of the city was reported as flooded,
