was allowed and the court allowed an
amended bill to be filed, which was done

To SAVE SALARY
OF Chief OILER
ON STATE ROADS

Hartford, March 24.-The resigna-
ton of Timothy r. Conway, of Water
bury, chief oiIer of roads for the
state of Connecticut has been accepted
by Highway Commissioner Charles J.
Bennett. Mr.. Bennett says no ap-
pointment will be made to the place
and the salary of $1,000 year will be
saved to the state. The acceptance of
this resignation is in line with a plan
Of retrenchment adopted by the COM
missioner and it is understood that he
has in mind pruning which he says
will result in large saving in the ex-
penses of the departm ent. It was said
at the conptrol1er's office, today, that
nothing definite has been decided up
on concerning the auditing Of the
books of the department under the
administration of James Fl. Macdon-
aid. The governor favors the appoint
ment of experts, but Comptroller Dunn
thinks the state auditors are fully
capable to do the work and they have
assured him that they are willing to
take it up.

POLICE THINK
ENEMY SHOT AT
FLORIST BEACH

Was the attack upon James Beach,
a florist at 2o19 Park avenue, else
where reported in these columns, the
result of being surprised while at
inspired by desire to kill him? The
police, after investigation of the cir
cumstances attending the shooting,
are of the opinion that the noise in
the backyard was only a lure to bring
Beach into a spot where someone hav-
ing a grudge against him could take
his life.
It has been learned, that not only
was glass of a, vaIuab Bile kind left un-
touched, but that two ItaIan-speaking g
persons engaged in a wrestling match
in the rear of the premises before rat
Ting box of small glass panes. Also
it became known that Beach was fired
at from ambush and not while chasing
the thieves.
1t was said at police headquarters
that the object of attack had for many
years hired Italian speaking persons,
and 1t was the belief that some dis
satisfied former empIoye had laid the
plot.
Mr.. Beach when seen by a reporter
for The Farmer was much surprised
at the report, although he admitted
in conversation that he had not over
taken the men. He said that he had
heard the noise and first calling to an
assistant had gone back into the house
for his coat. He believed that the in
truders might have thought he was in
possession of a gun, but could not say
why after he had called to his out
side man they had not taken fright
the darkness. He could recall no un-
p1easantness with any of his Italian
workmen and spoke in the highest
terms of their work.

DAMAGE ENORMOUS

Lincoln, Neb., March 24.-Property
damage at Omaha will mount up to
the hundreds of thousands The tor
nado swept in from the southwest and
sl1rged to the northeast over the resi-
Dental portion of the city, leaving de-
struction and death in its track from
two to four blocks wide. Fires sprung
up all over this area. Firemen were
unable to respond to the numerous
alarms and many houses burned to
the, ground. The police were unable
properly to guard the stricken dis
trict and soldiers from Fort Omaha
were called out. The tornado zone
soon was practically under martial
law.
The villages of Benson, Dundee and
Florence, suburbs of Omaha, were
practically wiped out. Only the fact
that heavy rain fell for half an hour
after the tornado struck saved the in
5ured caught in the wrecked and
buried bodies from being cremated.

important evidence against Dudley J.

to the officials of the criminal court
of common pleas, where Stafford was
arraigned today on the charge Of vio-
lating the liquor law. The check was
alleged to have been signed with
Stafford's initials and as the purchase

sidered valuable BIS evidence. When

town court the check was in the
hands of the prosecution but Grand
Juror Ivan Morehouse stated that 1t
could not be found today
Dudley J. Stafford, proprietor of the
Stratford Inn, was held on two
charges. It is alleged that he sold
after the legal hour for closing.
State Policeman Hartley ]. Howard
was the first witness and he was on
the stand during almost the entire
morning session. He related how he
and three other state policemen visit
ed the Stratford Inn after midnight
and were served with drinks.
Howard Identified a co1ored waiter
named Jones as the man who served
him and his party with drinks. They
also ordered club sandwiches. How
ard was given a severe cross exarnina-
ton by Attorney Henry Greenstein but
his story was not shaken.
Frank Allen, chauffeur of the car
which brought the state police from
New Haven to the inn, testified that
he had a glass of ale in the resort af-
ter midnight.

vICE-PRESIDENT
MARSHALL HERE
THIS AFTERNOON

Boston, March 24.-The intricacies
of par1iam entary law are bothering

the tariff revision. The Vfce-Presi-
dent, who spent the day in this city,
told callers of his troubles as presid-
ing officers of the United States SEN
ate.
$50 far as I know" he said, ct am
the only person except Mr.. Roosevelt
to occupy the vice-presidency with
out previous national legislative ex-
about parliamentary procedure and
on that subject may cause me trou-
BILE. I have the benefit of the expert
ence of several Senate clerks but
sometimes they succeed in getting me
pretty badly tangled though their in
tentions are the best"
Mr. Marshall came here, last night,
from Springfield. where he address
ed the Young Mems Christian Asso-
citation, yesterday. He came to visit
Henry B. Brown, of valparaiso, (Ind.),
who has been Ill at a hotel here since

sistory of Scottish rite Masons in
company with the Vice-President.
Mayor Fitzgerald and other prom

CONFERENCE
OF UNDERWOOD
AND PRESIDENT
Will Meet This Evening to Talk
Over Details of Tariff
Revision

Washington, March A-P-ssident
Wilson and Representative Oscar I'm
derwood will confer, tonight, on the
details Of tariff revision. Previous
conferences have been along general
lines. It is exepcted that tonight's S
conference will reach specified SUBJ
5ects and that the President immed-
iatedly thereafter will finish his spec
ial message to the Congress. It is ex-
pected that the message will cover in
a general way the character of tariff
revision that the President hopes to
see accomplished.
The idea Of a single tariff bill is
said to appeal strongly to the Presi-
dent as a, means of expediting legisIa-
ton but many of his friends think
it will prove an obstacle to harmon
ious revision of the tariff. The Ques-
ton is to be settled by the Dem
ic caucus.
