T0 FIGHT FIVE
 PER GENT RAISE
Representative of Western States Meet at Omaha Next Week to Ask fer Suspension of New Tariff on Western Roads

To take concerted action against the proposed increase in tariffs now being put into effect by western railroads, and to secure a hearing be- fore the Interstate Commerce Com mission on the entire matter of a rate increase, railway and public ser vice commissioners from all the west ern states have been called to meet in conference at Omaha. December 15.
 The conference is the outcome of a plan recently put in effect by west ern roads to secure what amounts to a five per cent increase, such as has been asked for by eastern car riers, without the formality of filing a request for a general advance on all commodities. In pursuance of this plan, single tariffs have been and it is to ask for a hearing em
 bracing all these increased rates that the Omaha conference is called.
 An increase of $500 per car in train load shipments of cattle recent ly put into effect by western lines as one of the steps in line with the de- sired advance has brought forth strong protest from the American National Live Stock Association. which is cooperating with western commissions to secure d hearing of the entire matter of rate increases.
 At the meeting of railway commis soners held at Washington last month d committee of western rate men ap- peared before the Interstate Com merce Commission and asked for the suspension of fifty tariffs recently published by roads operating west of Chicago. These tariffs the commis- sion has suspended, and the Omaha conference will attempt to obtain a general suspension of all others un- til after a hearing has been held be- fore the interstate commission.

Up to an early hour this morning the jury in the Thompson murder trial had been unable to reach an agree ment The case was given to the jury early in the evening.
 The argument for the defense took up the greater part of the time yester- day, morning and was followed by re- Duttal by the state.

MARIE, THE NEW QUEEN
 OF ROUMANlA

Popular interest in the accession tp the throne of King Ferdinand of Roumana centers in his brilliant and beautiful consort. The object of many romantic infatuation, the heroine of countless stories based upon her powers of fascination and her reputation for coquetry. she has emphasized by her striking individu- ality the insignficance of her huS- band, whom she completely over shadows.
 The fairest of all the granddaugh- ters of Queen Victoria, she enjoys the distinction of having been the first princess of the royal house of England to sacrifice her place in the line of succession to the throne Of Great Britain by marrying a Roman Catholic, since parliament at West minister, more than 200 years ago, voted the act of settlement, which vests the English crown in the now reiSning dynasty, and bars from the succession not only any scion there of who belogs to the church of Rome of who belongs to the church of Rome  nial alliances with members of that denomination.
 Queen Marie was 17 years of age when she was led to the altar by the then Crown Prince Ferdinand of ROumania. Her father. who was Queen Victoria's second son, still bore the English title of Duke of Edinburgh. For it was not until sev- eIal months later that he succeeded his uncle as sovereign of the Duchies of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha.
 She had been born at EastweN park, the county seat in Kent which her parents occupied throughout the greater part of their life in England and her Russian grandfather, Ca, Alexander H., the liberator of the

the great world of Roumania found it difficult to follow.
 While there is no doubt that she is as strongly pro- Russian as Queen Elizabeth and the late King Charles have been pro-German, it IS pro bable that she will be. obliged to de- fer in political matters, at any rate for the present, to the Bratiano cab met now in office and composed of the most powerful and influential statesmen in the kingdom.

Empress

"Hardng's Heritage" is the bill at the Empress again tonight and it will probably be seen by many patrons of the house for it is splendid entertain ment and one that has all the ear marks of novelty. In its construction the Pathe people have used many sides of the miners life in South Africa and the scenes incidental to the story are worth the admission alone. Harding is chap who commands the respect of the lover of the best in man, and his struggles with poverty and subsequent rise to power as a miner supply the foundation for the excellent screen story. The unhappy ending to the piece while it disposes of the main character of the bill only goes to show that in the midst of success the hand of the reaper is always near Hard ing's Heritage is a good show and the Empress should do well with it tonight.

Clerk Soripture's Interesting Picture
 Collection.

City Clerk Albert c. Scripture was showing callers Monday an interest ing picture. or series of pictures mounted in a gold frame five feet long and not quite so broad. The pictures are of different people who are now. or have in the past fifteen years or sN been residents of Willimantic. There are eighty pictures in all, and ~tiect produced by the arrangement of the pictures is attractive. The cuts used are all from the Bulletin and other papers, and have been saved by MT. Scripture for some years It is safe to say that everyone repre-. scented there has had more or less to do with the growth and history of the city in recent years. Some of the old CT cuts are of the late Dr. Hills, E. A. Buck, Silas Loomer, Rev. Florimond DeBruycller, Major Fowler, Whiton and James Hayden, Ansel Arnold, John M. Hall. Deacon Stearns, Henry Hall, Horatio Bill, Sam Adams, George Maloney and many others. In a prom inent place is cut of Mayor Daniel P. Dunn and others of the present generation are George E. Hinman, William A. King, Frank P Fenton, Gen. Boss. O. O. Tanner. A L. Gelinas, and Principal Case of the high school. The G. A. R. is represented by Jerome B.
