.BEARDSLEY LEAVES
SEALSHIPT COMPANY
Accepts Position AS Mana
ger of Rade1 Oyster Firm
In This City

Fred S. Beardsley has resigned his
position as manager of the SeaIshfpt
Oyster Company, and has accepted a
similar position with the RadeI Oys-
ter Company. Mr. Beardsley began
his duties with the LATTER firm to-
day.
Because of unfavorable weather,
oyster companies in this city and
elsewhere along the Sound are ado@ t.
ing a retrenchment policy that is un-
usual even for this season of the year.
Usually there is a 1et-up in the indus
try after the holidays, but the unfa-
vorabIe weather for oystering this
year has caused the retrenchment to
become more general. The Sealshipt
Company and the Radel Company
both have cut down the number of
sloops in their fleets and the manual
force is being reduced.

NO REDUCED
RATES FOR
LEGISLATORS
That It TO Say, Not If the
New Haven Can Pre-
vent

Hartford, Jan. 25.-State Comptro1-
Ter Daniel Dunn, today, received from
the New Haven road a reply to his
request for transportation by the New
Haven road for the members of the
General Assembly and the road re-
fuses to grant his request. The comp
troller asked the road to transport
the legislators during the session for
a sum equal to the amount allowed
by the state for legislative mileage.
The letter is signed by Vice President
Campbell, of the road and in it was
inc1osed the opinion of the roads
counsel, Attorney B. L. Spock. Mr.
Spock holds that the opinion of the at
torney~ general that the statute COW
ering the granting of mileage to leg
isIators Is not constitutional should
not be accepted until the constitu-
tionaIitx of the act has been decided
by the courts. The statute, he says,
provides that no member of the AS
sernb1y or mernbe elect shall receive
any transportation privileges from any
railroad And he further says that
he does not think it proper at this
time that the road grant such privi-
1sge to the members of the General
Assembly when 1t might seem that it
was asking favOrs in return The
proposition presented by the comp
froIIer. he says, is not a proper buSi-
ness ARRANGEMENT.

no resistance to the posse, menely

A hessage was sent to Sheriff Dez.

with the aid Of AL. Wylie and his
machine, went out and brought the
man in and lodged him In tail, reach

The stranger gave his name a.

be determined from his disconnected
talk he comes from New York or

he is "off" on is the subject q
