OPPOSITION TO
 CLOSING OF
 HOWE STREET
M'NeiI Coal Co. and Salts Tex tile Works Would Close
 ThOrOughfaTe
Vigorous Opposition Develops And Hearing Is Rather
 Lively One

The discontinuance of Howe street
 from Kossuth street to the harbor which came up for a hearing before the Common council last night was provocative of considerable debate.
 The matter being open for discus sion on the part of those in favor or opposed Senator Archibald McNei1, Jf., in the name of whose company the petition has been made, asked for discontinuance of the street upon the ground that it had never been properly laid out by the city and that it was a dangerous thorough fare for pedestrians to attempt to use. He said that all efforts on the part of his company to fill it in by the dumping of several hundred dol lars worth of trap-rock had only made it worse and that it was inn possible owing to it's foundation to ever keep it in condition.
 Attorney David s. Day, represent ing the Salts Textile Company own CTS of property adjoining the street appeared in favor of it's being clos ed, rbasing his argument upon the be lief that 1t had never been laid out by the city and had never been ac- cepted except by public dedication and use.
 Attorney Jacob B. Klein. represent ing the heirs of the late Fannie H. McMahOn, opposed the petition. II was represented that the street had been in use ever since 1840 that it was of value to the city and as such mains had been laid by the Hydrau- lie Company through it's course, fire hydrants had been established there and that a sewer had ibeen laid in part of the street. He said that if teen years ago similar attempt was made to close the thoroughfare and that it had been rejected by the com T10O aiJ I1oa4 sion he contended that it was a di- rect thoroughfare between main ar teries. He believed that it was in every sense of the word a street.
 Attorney L. Delaney who appear ed to oppose the petition on behalf of Frank s. Cohen, large property owner on the east side made a, forci- ble argument upon the grounds that if closing of the street was permit ted the city would lose half a mile of It's water front upon the Peouon- mock river. He said that one of the principal dock privileges which the city enjoyed was undoub tedly that at the foot of Howe street, which if it was public street, as had been con- tended should belong to the city and would add materially to the cramped facilities now enjoyed on but one city dock He called special atten- tion to the fact that differing from Pauline street which was recently closed at the instance of the U. M c. Co.,, in this case the property was owned by separate companies on either side. He further called atten- ton of the council to the beginning and ending of Howe street upon two of the city's principal arteries which if closed would put additional bur den upon Kossuth and East Main streets
 Alderman P. H. Brady also voiced on behalf of Mrs. Mccoy.
 A debate which commenced when

Rismarck's Prophetic Pipe.

Prince Bismarck was a great pipe collector, and the gem of his collection had a curious history Many years ago Bismarck was accosted by a peddler and asked to buy a plain meerschaum pipe of the type that he most affected At first he declined, but the peddler claimed for the pipe a power of fore cast and told him he would serve three emperors as minister and that three important changes in life would be foretoId by accidents befalling the pipe. Laughing, Bismarck bought the pipe. He served three emperors, and two days before the historic occasion when he was refused an audience the stem of the pipe fell to pieces. Later he clipped piece from the side of the bowl accidentally. and within month his practical dismissal by the emperor occurred.

Japan Has Gloomy View Of Future Of
 Chinese Republic

Tokio, April 8-Recognition of the Chinese republic by the Limited States and the progress of the bill pending in the California legislature to prevent aliens from owning land in that state are absorbing topics in the Japanese public press The former matter is receving the more prominent discus sion for the reason that it is gener- ally believed that Japan will join Great Britain and the continental pow CTS in declining to recognize the new China until a stable government is proven and capacity shown to govern In some of the papers it is pointed out that failure to recognize the republic indicates a lack of desire to assist China
 The California alien land bill is dis cussed calmly by the newspapers which assert that the passage of the bill will materially affect commercial rela- tions between Japan and the United States.
 Leading business men who have vis- ited America, and who have been the most prominent advocates of Japan ese participation in the Panama Pa cific exposition in 1915, express a be- lief that Japan may decide not to take part in the exposition and some of the most influential men even advocate that course. While 1t is recognized that the bill applies to all foreigners, the Japanese point out that the gray est injuries will be done to their count rynen who are unable to become ma turaIized citizens of the United States.
 Among the well-inforTned Japanese, sage of the land bill in California will mat erially offset among the Chinese the good effect af the recognition of the new republic.

Odd Tips For Lottery.

Stranger tips for choosing lottery numbers have been given than even communications from a deceased aunt. Grant Duff had from Lord Houghton the following in connection with the death of Sir William Stirling Maxwell in 1878: When he arrived at Venice on his last journey the hotel keeper, different room. No. 16. When he be- came i'll he was transferred to a better one, No. 6, and, when he became very i'll, to the best the man had at his dis poSal, No. 4. Aftcr he died the serv- ants took the numbers 16. 8, 4, added 50, the number which stands. as it ap- pears, for death in the lottery lan- guage, and playing on them won 3O.OOO francs.'-London Standard.

E. If. DILLON & co.

Attorney Day asked to reply to state ments made by Attorney Delaney resulted in Attorney Klein securing the floor to remark that if the street was not a street in the full sense of the word as had been contended by those opposed, there would have been no necessity Or desire upon the part of the Archibald McNeil's Sons Co.,, whose interests were advanced by the Senator present to petition for it's closure
 An attempt to again secure the floor on the part of Senator McNeil in an effort to answer Attorney Klein's closing statements brought protest from those opposing the peti- ton. Senator McNefl apologized if he had transgressed the rules.

The Artists Need.

''Do you know what is the great es- sential to the artistic whoever ere ates? The sense of privacy, the power to isolate his own genius from every thing in the world, to be absolutely concentrated. To create we must be alone, have strange, unuttered thoughts, just as in the realms of the soul every human being must have moments of complete isolation thoughts, reveries, moods, that cannot be shared with even those we love best. You understand that?"
 "Yes, do.''
 'At the bottom we human beings come and depart absolutely alone. Friendship, love, all that we instinc- lively seek to rid ourselves of, this awful solitude of the soul, avail noth- ing. We'll, what others shrink from the artist must seek."-Owen Johnson in Century Magazine.

Senor Arrana, who is president of the Peruvian Amazon Co.,, admitted in his testi- mony that the forced labor of the Indians revealed in a book written by an American civil engineer, was true, but declared the cruelties had been exaggerated. He asserted that he and the British directors of the company were ignorant of the condi- tions prevailing in the rubber fields until they learned of them through the consular reports. He said the guilty parties were employees of the company.

Washington, April s-A canvass of the Senate by Democratic members of the finance committee shows that five Democratic Senators will not support the wool and sugar provi- sions of the House tariff bill, over which the main battle will be waged
 Two of these are RansdeH and Thornton of Louisiana, who are out and out opponents of free sugar. The other three are believed to be Ashurst of Arizona, Newlands of Nevada and Walsh of Montana. Shafroth of Col orado, despite the fact that his cleo tton was opposed by the beet sugar interests. is thought likely to join the group. Senator Poindexter of Wash ington, the only Progressive, was ex-
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1913-04-08

pected by Democratic leaders to vote for all provisions of the tariff bill except possibly that relating to sugar. It is now thought, however, that he cannot be counted on to vote for the bill as whole. If the Democrat ic defection in the Senate runs high five the success of the tariff bill will be jeopardized. There are f1fty-one Democrats, forty-four Re- publicans and one Progressive in the Senate, thus giving the Democrats ma ajority of six. A change of three Democratic votes wopld prevent the party leaders from maintaining this majority, provided they do not re- cetve some support from the Progress sive Republican,
