Audiences are put in good h1mor in all sorts Of ways (wrttes MT Spencer Leigh Hughes, M. F., in '~The Art of Public Speaking" just psblished). On one occasion I was present when MT. John Morley addressed a very large and overcrowded meeting; and when he rose there was much disturbance at the back, not because of hostility to the speaker, but because menis ribs were being crushed almost to break ing point. At last the disturbance ceased, and, as often happens on such occasions, a dead silence suddenly fell on the expectant crowd MT Morley had just uttered the words, MT. Chairman" when in a tone of anguish and rage a voice could be heard snap ping out ''Who the h. are you shoving?'' and the place rocked with laughter, while even the scholarly and distf guiShed man on the platform could not forbear to smile.

HARTFORD WANTS TO BE CUSTOMS
 HEADQUARTERS
eAasociated Press Dispatohs

e48SOCl6GSo EESE9 -1(ASRSSNA4Ag
 Hartford, April -Business men of HarffOrd are making an effort to re- tain here the custom district which the city has had for 60 many years, there being very general opposition heR9 to the plan ordered by President Taft just before he went out of office to that part of the reorganization of the custom service which would make Bridgeport the internal revenue head quarters for the district
 The matter is to be brought before the Hartford Business Mems associa- ton hS President Edward M. Dexter at 1s next meeting. It is presumed that the chamber of commerce, the board Of trade and the Manufactur- CTS association will soon take the matter up and probably some other civic associations will interest them selves in the matter, aKl with the end in view of appealing to Congressman Augustine LoneTgan Go do what he can either to have the headquarters of the district located in Hartford or retain Hartford as a district with a collector of its own.
 It is felt in this city that Hart ford has far greater claims to be the headquarters of the district than Bridgeport has, or any other city in fhe S&aBa, for that matter. Person alit5es do not enter into the sentiment of the sitRAtion at all because no one knows who saan be the collector at this lime. It is pointed out that not only is Hartford the Capitol of the State but 1t Is khe headquarters Of every division Of the United States government in the State-customs, in ternsl revenue, courts.

JUDICIARY COMMITTEE
 HEARS DISCUSSION ON
 PROPOSED PICKET LAW

Hartford. April 4-The Judiciary committee devoted most of it's time yesterday to two measures, one the bill establishing the merit system which is backed by the Connecticut Civil Service Reform Association, and the other tending to modify the law regarding strikes and boycotts
 Labor men were interested in a bill designed to modify Section 1296 of the General Statutes relating to boycott ing and piczeting in labor troubles and the amendment which they pro posed would lega1ize attempts to per suade an employe to quit work for an employer or corporation. Eli B. Brunnell made excellent presenta- ton of the case for organized labor.
 Walter s. Schutz appeared for a large number of manufacturers in this city, New Haven and Bridgeport in opposition to the bill on the ground that the meaning of Section 1296 had been thoroughly settled by the courts and that there can be no such thing as peaceful picketing and boycotting, such actions in themselves not being of a peaceful character.
