Stop Gripping.

The Hartford Times. which has stood by the New York and New Haven rail. road system through all the ups and downs of the last year or so, sees that the business interests of New England rebel against the effort to cripple the in- dustrial activities of the section, and says: "There IS big reaction all over New England against the conspiracy to block the railroad development of these six states" There ought to be and when it has come home to the consciousness of the intelligent business men of New England that their best interests and those of the road are one. they will won der that they have ever allowed them selves to be scared by spooks.

English Pheasants Set Out,

A consignment of about 1000 English pheasants from Germany to be prop. agated at the state fish hatchery reser. vation has been received at Windsor Locks. A few of these birds were re. ceived few years ago and raised and later liberated to breed in the woods of the state. The result of the experiment induced the commissioners to try again, as the sportsmen think it is worth while to bring them into the state to stock the woods.

The Little Towns.

Says the Seymour Record: ''In the general assembly at Hartford the repre- sentatives of the large cities are again planning to increase the representation of the cities and to lessen the influence of the country towns. They say it is terrible. the dlsproportionate influence of the smaller towns in the legislature, almost as bad as the representation of the smaller states in congress. Rhode Island and Delaware. yes, and Oonnectis cut, each has two senators in congress, just as many as the great states of New York, Texas and California, but they do not seem to be doing any bowling over it at Washington. They are not planning to deprive Little Rhody' of her two sen- ators, or Connecticut. Yet the theory is the same. If it would be right Tn case of the Connections towns, it would be right to apply the same theory to the smaller states, Doubtless some change will be made in this state some time, but no need to hurry about it."

SCHOOL SUPERVISORS MEET
Important Meeting With Secretary
 Hine at Canaan.


 The fourth meeting of the western
 group of state supervisors was held at
 the Canfield Inn. Canaan, on Friday
 evening, Feb. 2S. Previous meetings
 have been held in Winsted, Waterbury
 and Hartford. At the Canaan meeting
 there were present: Secretary Hine of
 the state board of education, Principal
 Harvey W. Strayer of Canaan High
 school, and Supervisors O. K. Chance, o.
 O. Warner, H. O, Clough, F. G. Berry,
 E. w. Ireland, H. w. Alger. H. Miles
 Gordy, J. w. Halhwell, E. s. Boyd, G.
 O. Swift, H. K. Chittenden, W. s. Dalzin, c. J. vogel. and W. Bliss.
 The first subject that came up for dis cussion was the proposed law making the school year forty weeks. U week to consist of five days. The obvious in- tent of the bill which is now before the general assembly, is to increase the ac tual number of school days from 1S0 to 200. It was further proposed to divide the school year into four terms of ten weeks each. This would necessitate a longer term even than forty weeks, if the matter of time lost by holidays and in other ways was to be considered. MT. Vogel feared that hardship might be worked in some cases where teach. CTS would be required to pay board for a longer time than they were actually employed. MT. Hine said that this might be overcome by paying the teach CT a salary covering the time indicated by the school calendar. For himself. he favored longer school year. During the time that he had been in office, the school year had been materially length ened. At one time twenty weeks were all that were required. then twenty four, and thirty, and finally the present thirty-six. There had been opposition all along the line but benefit had resulted and was apparent, though, perhaps. not by all. A number of the su- pervisors declared themselves in favor of change. s3Fss+P
 Other subjects discussed were-uni- formlty. attendance, contagious dis- eases, certifcation aud ranking of teach CTS duties of supervisors. normal schools. and agriculture.
 Referring to the latter. Mir. Hine said it had been suggested that supervisor of agriculture be appointed. The du- ties of such an individual would consist of going about from school to school in much the same manner as the super visor of music or drawing. and giving in agricultural subjects of and practical sort. There would be home gardens, planted by the pupils. under the direction of the super. visor and visited by him at regular in- for inspection and practical il- 
 The meeting was profitable one, and the discussions at times animated, the supervisors generally taking part.

Gladys Caldwell as Leonora, showed a range of voice that was excellent Her stage presence has peculiar charm that appealed to her auditors.

A WRANGLE IN HEBREW
Deputy Sheriff Rhoades Apprehends
 Three Fugitives.


 At about o'clock Friday morning, Deputy Sheriff Rhoades was called up and requested to go at once to the freight depot, where job in the line of his official duty awaited him. Arriving at the depot he found an old Hebrew ped dler and three younger Hebrews, ,vocifer- ously wrangling over a big heap of big packages on the depot platform and a tired-out horse hltched to peddler's wagon standing beside the platform. From the loud and wordy engagement the deputy managed to extract, from the story of the old man, Samuel Shankman, the information that the other three had robbed him at his store in South6eld, after doing him personal violence, at 3 o'clock that morning; that they had loaded upon his own wagon all the goods they could pile upon it and taken his horse, and started for Canaan with the load, and that he had at once dressed himself, lighted lantern and started after them, on foot, walking all the way, distance of twelve miles, arriving here in time to catch the men in the act of unloading the goods. which consisted of clothing, preparatory to having them shipped to New York. and he demanded the arrest of the three men, whose names were Harry kowsky, Eli Kowsky and Samuel Wochosky.
 While the old man was telling his story Harry Kowsky with much vigor of language and gesture was relieving himself of his owngversion of the affair from which it appeared that he was a partner of Max Shankman, son of the old gentleman, in New York, and inter- ested in the Southfield business with the old man 1; that he wanted to get out of the business in Southfield and as the elder Shankman was not willing, he had taken the goods in which he had an in- terest and proposed to realize on them, and had induced his brother and friend to help him perform the operation
 The sheriff found that Kowsky had expected to drive the whole equipage- horse, wagon, goods and all-into freight car at this station and have the whole transported to New York, but finding he could not do that had set about transferring the goods, and planned to drive the horse and wagon to the city, when the job was interrupted by the unexpected appearance of the old man. Tn view of the conflicting stories, and impressed with the old mans story, the Sheriff took the three other men into custody and put them into the lookup. and telephoned of Officer Truesdale, of Great Burlington, of the situation. Truesdale said he knew something about the disagreements of the parties, and was not surprised at the development. He came down on the trolley and took the prisoners back to Great Harrington for hearing, the offense having been committed in Massachusetts.
 The horse and wagon were taken to Briggs livery stable and the goods to Rhoades' barber shop. where they were kept until the pext day. when Officer Truesdale removed them to Great Bar. rington.
 The cases came up in Judge Sanford s court, Great Harrington, yesterday morning, but were not completed at a late hour in the afternoon.
