The Ancient Order of Hibernians and Ladies' Auxiliary held conventions in New London this week and accor- ding to the say-so of the delegates from all parts of Connecticut, the place was the best ever in which state convention of the order was held. AS one of the delegates from Norwich, Letter Carrier Frank J. Murtha, put it: Yes, the heat was excessive and it was uncomfortably warm during the business session; but when adjourn ment was reached all the delegates had to do was to board trolley car for Ocean beach and take a, dip in the briny and cool off. Such convenience does not prevail in all places where the biennial convention has been held. I tell you. the delegates are pleased with the reception they received in New London. and there is not single delegate but has words of praise for The convention and everything con- nected with it. New London is an ideal convention city and I am sur prised that more conventions are not held there"

There may be some truth in the pub. iisSed statement to the effect fEat there were more transients thar usua, in the city during the days of the convention, and that the hotels were filled to ca pacity, but there is doubt if any Hi- bernian was without a place to sleep if such accommodation was desired. The Deeper Waterways convention was much larger than that of the Hiber- niansI and all the delegates were ac- commodated in the hotels None of the delegates to that convention were roaming about the streets at midnight seeking a place to rest. Had the dem ocratic state central committee decided to hold the coming state convention in New London, with three times as many delegates that attended the Hi- berLian convention, every mothers son of them would be accommodated. If there is desire to make New Lon don convention city, and there is surely is the less tommy-rOt of the kind here referred to that appears in local newspapers the better it will be for progressive New London. It is self evident that there are men writing for local newspapers who do not take kindly to the city of their adoption and are permitted to knock the city and it's citizens whom they know little of. Once there came to New Lon don a bright newspaper worker from Worcester named Jones. He worked nere TOT aDout three months put was never content with the city or the people. He said to his employer: "I don't like the town or the people, but I'm satisfied with your treatment and my salary; but do believe that when fellow can't pull with a town he should pull out of it. MT. Jones ten dered his resignation, worked out his notice like a man. and then left New London to make room for man that could cheerfully work for the town and took pleasure in the work

It is plain why Baldwin wants Com stock as candidate for the governor ship and just why Comstock wants Baldwin nominated for the senate, and also why the other fellow wants both nominated and elected.

At the coming city election, from present indications, there will be five parties represented at the polls: The republican, democrat. progressive. so- cial and prohibition. and it is said that each will have a full party ticket in nomination, although it is an off-year in local politics, as there will be no nomination for mayor, that office be- ing filled every three years. There will be five aldermen and three se- lectmen elected, but the most inpor- tant office to be balloteed for important by reason of the salary of $500 a year is that of clerk to the board of asses sors This office has been held by Frederick c. Burrows ever since it has been created and of course the present incumbent will be renominated by the republicans and probably be reelected It all depends upon the strength of the other parties, but it is not believed that enough who have heretofore voted with the republicans will be drawn from the party in the city election to insure the election of a democrat to that office. The candidates of the other parties do not stand a China mans chance of election.

In the state election that is to fol- low in November, the socialists and prohibitionists will poll the usual vote, but the vote of the progressives can not be computed in advance. It is an unknown quantity and has the leading politicians in the republican and democratic party guessing, as its strength is drawn in the main from these parties. The progressives are showing more activity than any of the other parties and are taking politics by the forelock early in the game. Already there have been meetings of progressives in New, London and the plan of campaign outlined. and while the party has an active town commit tee practically every member of the party is working for the party's sue cess in the coming state election, and the local workers have pledged to the state central committee that the pro- gressives of New London will be heard from in the next state election
 Local members of the party openly declare that the members will vote for the party candidates to man. re- gardless of personal friendship, and even if the two candidates for United States senator, the republican and democrat happen to be natives and residents of New London, for with them politics is a matter af nrincinla.

EXPERTS DISCOVER VALUES
IN WATER OF SALT LAKE
Experimenters Find Great Preserva-
tive for Railway Ties, Telegraph
Poles and Piling.

Experts of the forest service have dis
covered that the waters of the Great
Salt lake act as good preservative
against decay in timbers For Years
they have been conducting experiments
to find a treatment that would preserve
telegraph poles and railroad ties. AS the
result of recent investigations it has been
found that timbers taken from the Great
Salt lake were perfectly sound. although
they had remained in those waters for
many years.
In replacing railroad trestle recently
burned along the north shore of Great
Salt lake, it was found that the piles
were still perfectly sound, after forty
three years of service. In looking for
the cause, since the piles were only Of
local pine and fir ii was discovered that
the timbers were impregnated with salt
At another point on the lake, eighteen
inch piles, set twenty-nine years ago,
were similarly preserved with salt.
Trestle timbers placed across the lake
in 1902 apparently are as good when
the piles were driven. Other instances
are given, one in particular where tim
Der after having remained in the lake
for fifty years was in a perfect state of
preservation.
1t is pointed out that the reason why
the waters of Salt lake act as strong
preservative, as distinguished from ocean
waters, is because the lake water is SO
much saltier. being practically saturate
solution. Forest experts suggest that
ties and poles immersed in these waters
ought to be impervious to decay IL the
salt is not leached out by the action of
the elements This can be guarded
against, it Is asserted, by painting the
butt of the pole with creosote,. which will
keep out the moisture and keep in the
salt.

MUST RETURN TO PHILIPPINES.
Judge Rules Hindus' Passports Not
Legal in United States.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 11.-Thirty-
five Hindus. detained on their arrival
here recently by immigration authorities
and who obtained their freedom on $500
bonds each, must return to the Philip
pines, according to a decision by Judge
Dooling Of the United States district
court yesterday. Judge Dooling held that
all Hindus landed in this country after
procuring passports at Manila were
aliens and should be deported, on the
ground that they were liable to become
public charges Passports obtained in the
Philippines are not legal in the United
States, according to the ruling.
The immigration authorities, the court
asserted, were the proper authorities to
pass on the question as to where an alien
had the right to land in this country.
The insular bureau Is taking steps to
restrict the entry Of Hindus from the
Philippines into the United States. which
are expected soon to result in the COM
plete exclusion of that class of immi-
grants The same law which the courts
have construed as prohibiting the entry
of Hindus ard Malays into the United
States prevails in the Philippines. but 1t Is
said that collectors of customs in the
islands have been lax in its enforcement
hereafter they are to apply it as vigorously
as in continental United States.
