THE MILEAGE QUESTION.
Proposed Rate Higher Than Conru-
 tation Rates Now Enjoyed.

New Haven, Conn, Feb. 26.-As stated tonight the position of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Rail- road company is that it must stand on the general principle of treating transportation of legislators as a bus mess proposition and the constitution Is not to be disregarded. The plan of committing the payment by the state two years ago into the form of a corresponding reduction. in the taxes of the company is not regarded favor ably by 1t in constitutional aspects.
 While the proposed charge of one and one half cents per mile by the company Is the same rate as two years ago certain restrictions as to the use of the mileage books are removed on the Central New England Railroad company's line.
 If legislator under the offer of the company counts in this year, his constitutional mileage. the conpany's offer would reduce to slightly more than one and one-fifth cents q mile, which is still considerably higher than communication rates between Hartford and the hemes of members.

MACDONALD WILL NOT
 CONTEST FOR OFFICE
Says He Will Help New Commissioner
 to Learn the Ropes.

Hartford, Conn, Feb. 26.-James H. Macdonald of New Haven. highway commissioner for the state of Con necticut for many years, will step out of office tomorrow, and do all in his power to help the new commissioner, Charles J. Bennett. of Hartford, learn the ropes. This statement was made by MT. Mcdonald tonight. During the day he had had a number Of confer ences with MT. Bennett concerning routine work in the department.
 MT. Macdonald said that he regrets ted to leave the department until he report for the fiscal year ending De- cember 31. After the conference with Mir. Bennett today, MT. Macdonald told him that he would gladly render all the assistance possible and that in a few days he would call in all the men in the department to his office and personally introduce them to the new commissioner.
 He explained his delay in reaching this conclusion was due to two prfn- ctpa1 reasons. He had been troubled by the charges that had been lodged by the governor with Attorney sGen- ere1 Light, which he considered A re- lection upon his name. His natural tendency was to fight to the end, that his name might be cleared. On the other hand, he realized that a fight would result in the highway business throughout the state being hopelessiy tied up. There is so much repair work now going on that it Is absolutely necessary that it be completed in order that the state should not be the fnan- cial loser. After mature reelection MT. Macdonald said he thought it would be the best for the states interests that he step out without making a fight that might tie up work for many months.
 MT. Bennett, the new commissioner, was seen tonight and he confirmed the statements made by MT. Macdonald. He said: tT feel deeply grateful for the courteous treatment that MT. Mac Donald has accorded me. He has promised to do everything within his power to help me- And naturally. am very happy that the matter has come to such a happy solution

 Recently tho child. attracted by some beads in the window of a jewelry shop, proudly told the proprietor that she, too, had some pretty ones.
 Thus the truth leaked out. An ex- pert confirmed the value of the jewels and the owner was advertised for. Friends of Mrs. Sprague noticed the advertisement. and so the necklace came back to it's rightfuI owner.

SEVEN REGIMENTS

Texas Senators Assured of Protection
 by War Department.

Washington, Feb. 26.-Political rec ognition of the new provisional gov ernment of Mexico is not a matter re- qlliring immediate consideration at the hands of the secretary of state. and IL was made practically certain that this is another subject that will be left as a heritage to the next administration.
 In the opinion of state department officials, the United States has no in terest in Mexico that will suffer by withholding the full recognition and also all necessary business can be dis charged under the existing working arrangement that Ambassador Wilson has set up. This amounts to the rec ognition of a de facto condition. It in no wise commits the United States government to an acknowledgment Of the legality of the Huerta government and that question must be determined hereafter entirely upon the basis Of performance
 In the course of a conference with the members of the senate committee on foreign relations today, at which Senators CuIoerson and Sheppard of Texas were present, Secretary of War Stimeon and Major General Leonard Wood gave assurance Of such a dispo- sitfon of troops along the Texas from tier as will insure protection of that section against invasion by marauders from.

 They explained that the removal to Galveston of the detacf1nents from Fl Paso and other Rio Grande points had been rendered necessary by the crisis in the City of Mexico. as it had look ed for time as if active intervention might be necessary.

 This is part of the remarkable story that Dorr told today to ir,rv before whom he is being tried for murder.
 Dorr Tells His Story.
 The state alleges that Marsh was murdered in order that the 5efendarf might profit indirectly through a trust fund which he thought would go to his aun't. Miss Orpha Marsh, with whom ne lived in Stockton, Cal, upon the death of Marsh.
 Counsel for the defendant set i,n saff defense and Dorr was put on the stand to tell his story. For four and a, heIf hours he was under examination. or cross examination At first he ap- peared much improved in health. but as the questioning proceeded he grew percept1bly weaker and his voice at times almost failed him. Several times he seemed about to collapse. but late in the day he recovered surpris- 1ngly and he left the witness chair with quick step and cheerful de- meanor.
 Marsh Made Insinuatine Remark.
 Dorr told in detail of his life in Stockton, where he said he was a member of 9. church choir His auuts@ property was involved, he said, and hs believed that it was being nnismanaEed lie could get no satisfaction from George E. Crane, who looked after the estate, and he decided to come east and see privately George E. Marsh, his auntss uncle.
 Arriving in Lynn, he obtained lodg>- ings near Marsh's home and made the acquaintance of the old man. One day he took Marsh out for drive in his automobile. Marsh made an insinu- ating remark about Miss Marsh, ask ing Dorr if he was really the woman's nephew. They quarreled and the de- Marsh tried to stop him and was shot in the scuffle that followed.
 ProPped Body Up in Seat
 On cross examination Dorr told tl1e story practically as he had first relat- ed it Replying the questions of Dis triet Attorney Attwi11, Dorr said:
 After the shooting wrapped the body of Marsh in 8 blanket, put his hat on his head and started toward Lynn. I drove the machine up and decided what to do. Once I drove nearly up to the Marsh house and then my courage failed and I returned to the boulevard. Several times had to stop the machine to prop up the body, which had toppled over"
 What prompted you to keep riding around with the body in the machine7" the district attorney asked.
 Fear" said Dorr.
 Had Body All Night.
 The witness thought that Marsh died about 5.30 o'clock on the after noon of April Ii, 1912. About 6 o'clock he drove his car near the marshes and put the body on the ground. Then he half carried and half dragged it from the roadway and pushed it through q fence. It rolled down an embark ment, where 1t was found the next day.

London, Feb. 26.-The operations of the five armies engaged in the Balkan war have been brought practically to a standsti11 by the wintry weather, snowstorms and by the deplorable state of the roads.
 The daily official despatches upon which the world is now compelled to rely for it's news of occurrences in the theatre of war for the most part re- Ifat the almost stereotyped statement that nothing of importance has oc- cured"
 Skirmishing at TchataIia.~
 A despatch received from Constan- tinople, however, goes a little farther, recording that there has been slxir- mishing on the front of the Tchatalja lines from Constantinop1e by Turkish volunteers. who 1t is claimed, have met with some successes. These must have been of 8 minor nature, as the Bulgarians earlier in the week were said to have withdrawn further to the westward. The roads in that neigh borhood are in such a frightful condf- ton that the transport columns found it difficult to keep the troops at the front supplied with provisions and ana- munition.
 Bonharding Adrianopie.
 The news from the neigh borhood of the fortress of Adrianople is of an even more conflicting nature. The Bulgarian war department at Sofia says only desultory fighting has been in progress, while despatch received from a French correspondent inside the city says that since February 8 the Bulgarians have been delivering desperate but ineffective assaults on the fortress and bombarding it cruelty but uselessly.
