Danbury Line Is,
 Open; But Not Yet to General Public

Rumons circulated about the city that the new trolley road from Bridge port to Danbury was in operation for public Transportation are not correct. It is stated that the only car run over this line today was an inspection car manned by a conductor and motorman and carrying officials of the DanburX & Bethel line. A pilot over its tracks in this city was furnished by the Connecticut Company.
 Among those who inspected the line were Supt. Washing and General Man ager Sanders of the Danbury & Beth e1 company. It is denied that any of fciaIs of the Connecticut company were among the party, nor were any of the Public Utilities Commissioners aboard, they already having duly ex- aInined its construction.
 Public Utilities Commissioner Theo- dore B. Ford today implied that the line would soon open for the carrying of passengers but said that no date had yet been announced by the com pany as far as he knew.

CADWELL UP AGAIN.

The name of William H. Caldwell came before the Senate once again, to- day, when Governor Baldwin sent in his appointment as commissioner of the Connecticut River company. Much surprise was exhibited by the Sena- tors, plenty of whom did not know what the Connecticut River company is. Early in the session, the governor had this appointment ready to be sent in but at the last moment withdrew it, the understanding being that there was objection to MT. CadwelFs name. The nomination was sent to the cornmit- tee .
 The finance committee reported a bill to increase the present 10 mill tax on the railroads of the State, the increase being one mill, leaving, how ever, the basis of taxation the same. Several members of the committee were anxious to have the tax apply to the gross earnings of the roads in stead of the present form of taxation upon the market value of the stocks and the bonds of the road. This min ority, however, decided that the time was too short to work out the details of a. new plan of taxation
 The same committee reported a general bill concerning the taxation of succession, inheritance, gifts of real or personal property to take effect at death Iegacies and devices, which
  probate laws relating to those sub jects. The bill qualities present laws and removes inconsistencies in them. Besides, it increases the inheritance tax on estates over $1OO,0oo in value. On nneals, the tax is made 2 per cent. on amounts over $1O0.0OO. and up to $300,O00 and three per cent. on larger amounts. The tax on collateral over $100,o00 is made six per cent.
 The Senate accepted the House amendment to the bill providing that messengers under 21 years of age shall not work after 10 D. m.
 As 3. means of expediting business owing to the short time before ad- journnent, Senator McNeil, of the ap- propriaHons committee, got through a motion to suspend the rules so that all appropriation bills may have inn mediate consideration when they are reported in from his committee He explained that some departments are in need of money and unless the bills are sent through with considerable speed it will be difficult to get them enacted An appropriation of $2O,OOOI for the factory inspectors department was recomm mended.

Wild Dash Ends With One of Team Dangling By
 Harness In Excavation

Taking fright at a passing automo- bile two powerful truck horses attach ed to a big wagon belonging to the Bridgeport Hydraulic Co.,, which was standing on Gold street. near the cor ner of Middle street, started on a headlong dash up Gold street shortly after o'clock this afternoon in one of the shortest but most sensational runaways seen in Bridgeport in some time
 The wagon which was in charge of two of the Hydraulic company's em- ployes was being loaded up with grain and feed at the Wheeler feed store which grain was to be taken to the supply camp of the company at the Easton reservoir.

 Up Gold street dashed the frightened horses. took the corner of Main and wagon swaying over on. two wheels as it rounded the curve and narrowly es- capinx a collision with a passing trol- ley car.
 North on Main street went the run away. pedestrians darting to right and left to avoid being crushed beneath the wheels of the heavy wagon. In front of The Stratheld the wagon grazed an automobile and grocery wagon which was standing near the cr,rb and as the team neared Congress street it cut diagona1ly across the street. headed straight for the exca- vation which Is being made for the ,,ir wheeler auditorium between Con erres and Arch streets
 Paople thought both horses would treak their necls in tumble down +t,e hank into the cellar. but one or the horses sllied as it saw the yawnang sxcavatioli and backed onto US launches
 The off horse however d1o not peusS 1,,,t leaned ahead and hung dangling t, rnid-atr with the wagon and other horse perilously close to the. edge or 4le cellar and in danger every second of crashing down to the bottom of the cellar, Is feet below.
 A passerby, George w. Turney, COOK charre of matters, directing the score nf men who came forward to rescue the horse which was hanging in mid air suspended by it's harness, and get ff bacl< to the street. They finally succeeded In doing this and the frightened animals were led back to the feed store.

MIKADO THANKS WILSON FOR HIS
 KIND SYMPATHY
Official Bulletin Shows That His Condition Is
 Serious
Entire Nation Grieves for Stricken Emperor and
 Prayers Are Nation Wide

Washington, May 23.-President Wilson, today, received the following cabIegram from Emperor Yoshihito, of Japan:
 sage inquiring after my indisposition. I express my sincere thanks to your self, government and the people of the United States
 Tokio. May 23.-The official bu1le- tii1 on Emperor Yoshthtto's condition issued, this morning. by the court physicians, says:
 His MaJesty's temperature has risen to 1o8.46 Fahrenheit. His pulse is go and his respiration 30.''
 The emperor is holding his own, according to officials at the palace who declare that his prospects of re- covery are more hopeful.
 Mu1tftudes of Japanese prayed throughout the day in the neighbor- hood of the palace and also in the temples and churches and at various shrines.
 Official reports that the Emperor is i'll with pneumonia, the constant at tention of the empress and, doctors kept at his bedside all last night, make 1t appear that his condition is more grave than was indicated by the f1rst bulletin. The whole Japanese empire is, today, depressed with the reports
 
 yesterday, announcing the emperor'e illness, came as great shock to the people and as 1t gained circulation through extra. editions of the newspa- pera, al sorowfuI hush fell on the city and great crowds silently assembled in front Of the royal palace.
 Court circles are still in official mourning for the late Emperor Mutt suhito and as the period does not ex- pire until July 30. a year from the day of his death, no official entertain ments had been planned at this time. Private festivities of all sorts, how ever, are being postponed and theatres have closed.
 Arthur Bailey-BIanchard, American Charge D'Afairs, was among the first of the stream of callers at the inper- ial palace to inquire about the condf- ton of His Majesty, and he express cd the sympathy of the American gov ernment and people for the Emperor in his suffering.

 APHASIC TO DEATH

Strange in life and strange in death Is the case Of the elderly man who died yesterday at St. Vincent's hos pital from an as yet unknown cause. Even the preliminary autopsy conduct ed by Medical Examiner R M. GarIfck has so far failed to reveal leisons which would account for the strange condition of the unknown man
