WANT NEW BRIDGE
Highway Commissioner Fears Old
 Bridge Will Make Trouble.

Highway Commissioner Fears Old
 Bridge Will Make Trouble.
 State Highway Commissioner Ben- nett was in town Friday and inspected the work on the new Clayton stretch of state road from Benedict's corner. He was impressed by the necessity of new bridge over the Konkapot river above the old Barnes lime kiln. AS result of his inspection he has written the fol lowing letter to selecnnan Reel:
 Hartford Oct. 26th 1914. 'sMr. William J. Reel,
 "1st Selectman North Canaan, 'sCanaan Conn,
 Dear Sir: After talking to you last week with regard to the bridge on the Clayton road went up and looked it over and found the condition there such that feel that it is my duty to request you to take further steps and try and get the Town to construct tie bridge of greater span and area of waterway than that at present existing. Not only is the span too short but the width of the roadway of the present bridge is too small and fear serious accident will occur with the smooth surface of the new road.
 With the liability of accident exist ing and the liability of the flooding of the meadows to the south of. the high way imminent it seems to mo that the gqYa should at least take some steps tp relieve the situation
 A bridge of the necessary span can be built at an expense of $1, 500 notin- cluding the cost of the abutments which are built and paid for by the State out of the State Aid fnnds, three quarters to be paid by the State and lne-quarter by the Town. The State cannot however contribute anything towards the cost of the bridge super structure.
 *Kindly let me have your ideas as to this matter as soon as possible,
 "Yours truly,.il
 f 70. J. Bennett. ! "State Highway Commissioners.
 Mir Reel has called special town heeting for Wednesday of next week, Sov. 4. to see what action the voters will take in the matter.

StanhOpc Nixon, ex-YaIe Man, Denies
 Charge of Assault.

New Haven, May 2.-Stanhope,Ni Nix on. son of Lewis Nixon of New York city and a former Yale student, was charged in the city court today with breach of the peace, resulting from a brutal assault committed upon Edward H. Everit, chief engineer of the Southern New England Telephone company, on Oct. 22, last year. The accused pleaded not guilty Trial Of the case had been postponed several times for various reasons. Nixon was only recently arrested, and this fol- lowed a searching inquiry by the de- tective bureau into the assault upon MT. Everit, which at the time baffled the police. Young Nixon was~ with drawn from Yale after his arrest. As an. undergraduate he had been promi- nent in fraternity life.
 Nixon had two lawyers in his de- fense. At the noon recess not much headway had been made owing to the long and searching cross examination to which the states witnesses were subjected. The court room was crowded. The case was called after a minor case involving a dispute among a number of colored folks, which had been stopped through defendant having fit.

 Refugees Still Arriving
 Vera Cruz, May 4.-American refu- gees continue to arrive from the cap- ital and they bring divergent stories of the situation there. Arrangements are being made today to send a naval vessel to Puerto Mexico to meet a large number of refugees due there Tuesday morning.

Wall Street, 10:45 a. m.-Early movements of stocks today were narrow and irregular. Only a small amount of orders came in over the weekend, and with no change of moment in conditions here or abroad to give traders a lead, they did little. London prices were barely changed, except for a renewed decline in Canadian Pacific. There was a corresponding dip in that stock here, but otherwise the list gave no signs of weakness. Active buying of Missouri Pacific was resumed, and the quotation was forced up 1 3S. The whole list stiffened after half an hours trading, several stocks gaining a point.
 Close-The market today closed easy. Bullish operations were resumed with confidence today and prices were ad- vanced one to two points before re- acting. Exhaustion or the vigorous buying movement and selling by trad- CTS caused the market to fall back F to 1 point before the close.
