one of the three is now at Police
Headquarters. where he occupies an
important rosltioh. Another is now an
inspector The identity OF the third
man has never been guessed. He was

Pitt SAYS that they all took share
of the graft that was paid TO Lieu
tenant Becker. He names times and
places where the money was paid. Cor
roboration sufficient TO warrant a grand
jury inquiry has been found. More is
expected.
The trend the case had taken was
apparent yesterday, when il was
learned that Pitts bail had been re-
duced from $1,000 10 $500. The bail
was reduced by Judge Rosalsky. in
General Sessions, on Monday. The
50. 800 bail was furnished on Tuesday
by the Illinois Surety Company, and
for the first time since his arrest. more
than month ago. Pitt spent a day at
liberty yesterday.
The District Attorney approved Of
the reduction of bail for two reasons.
One was that Pitt at liberty vas in
a much better position to aid in getting
confirmation OF his story. and the sec
ond was that Pitt had made good"
and there was no further reason for
holding him under prohibitive bail

City Of Rochester will probably buy back
100000 Of its own bonds as an invest

aud Treasurer Otis believes that BY 50
doing the city will be much the gamer.
The funds are now drawing but 3 IL
per cent, but by investing the money in
the bonds, an additional income Of about
$3.50 yearly will be obtained. It can be
seen that 1T the end Of the life Of the

Canaan's Big Banuuet.

It is a credit to Canaan that it has so admirable business mems association and it is credit to the town that it is able to carry out on so splendid a scale an annual banquet like the magnificent one held in the big double dining room of the Garfield last night.
 From all the long program there was lacking no element calculated to add 10 its charm. One year ago it was thought the high water mark of. entertainment had been reached, but here was another affair which ill novelty and general ex- celience surpassed 1t.
 Governor Simeon E. Baldwin, who once upon an historic time threatened to sue ex-Pres. Roosevelt for lying, was the center of attraction and his happy and able address entertained and instructed the great company. Rev. MT. Gillette. the eloquent, Richard T Higgins, of Winsted. the talented chairman of the state public utilities commission, these and others contributed their portion to the post-prandial exercises. It is safe to say that never has more rare and de lightful toast card confronted company of guests assembled in Canaan.
 That thriving town has it's civic prob IemS Just as every RrOWluS communlCy has it's problems, but to study the har- mony prevailing last night one would never surmise that they ever perplexed. The object of the banquet was not alone to provide a gastronomic treat, but to promote sane conviviality and to give direction to the get together spirit that is helping to force Canaan to the front in the sisterhood of towns.
 It is not often that one hears i'll one evening such flow of sparkling wit, profound wisdom and stately eloquence as that which comes from the lips of the orators at the Garfield banquet. The whole event was joy and The Eagle extends it's felici ations.-Jo Hollister in Pittsfield Eagle.

Capitol statisticians figure that, under Coy.

 Morris C. Webster, newly elected speaker of the Connecticut house, is a staunch Republican, skillful parliament tarian, man experienced in the ways of legislation and, in his home town of Harwinton, is considered eminently fair and of sound judgment.

 During the past year the stock of the Adams Express company has dropped from POO to I45. The shares of the American Express company, which sold a year ago for $3oo, have dropped to $I42.
