SNOW AND COLD
 SWEEP COUNTRY

A snowstorm of quite marked vjo- lenee- during the early hours of the afternoon followed rapidly decreas- ing temperature conditions in this city.
 The storm is reported by meterolo- gfcal observers throughout the country as originating in the west and sweep ing both eastward and southeasterly over the central west and southern states yesterday and today. The storm $ now general over the entire coun- try east of the Rocky Mountains and will probably pass norrh- eastward from here today.
 From Denver it is reported that the cold blast and slight snowfall that swep down from the northwest last night caused record drops of temper atures throughout the Rocky Noun tain region.
 In Trinidad, Col, coal mine strikers and militiamen in the strike zone sui fered alike in one ee the worst storms of the season.

SUNDAY BASEBALL PLAYERS FORFEIT
 BONDS IN COURT

The finish of the Sunday baseball eases came today in the common pleas court, criminal side. when. bonds for three Bridgeport players. arrested last season were called and forfeited. The players were: Edward McGamwelI. Frank Snyder and James (Steamerl Flanagan. Secretary Red dy of the local club, who was bonds man for the trio, forfeited $50 in each case.
 Attorney J. c. Chamberlain, repre- senting the players, said it was the best solution of the difficulty Two of the men were out of the city and as neither would play. here next Sea- son it would be impossible to bring them here for trial. Snyder is living in this city,. After a conference be tween Prosecutor Huxford, Attorney EChamberlain and President O,Rourlae of the Eastern Association it was agreed that the bonds should be for feited.
 The men were arrested last June Harvey Russell, another local player arrested at the same time for play ing at Newaeld park on Sunday, was tried before a jury last December and verdict of guilty was reached. Judge Walsh fined him $25.

 think it something else. I asked a suffragist the other day what she hoped to vote fox- oh, she replied, T am going to vote for the good, the Beautiful, and the true sRut,' I re- piled. you can't vote for the good the beautiful and the true because you'll have to vote for William Taft or William Bryan, or some other Wal Ifam-s They seem to think that vot- Ing is like writing q letter to Santa Claus, that they can have anything they want merely for the voting. They forget that they can pass all the laws that they wish and that if the men don't choose to execute them they won't do SO
 they could outnumber those of the Italian laborer and Ihe boss forget that the lalborer and the boss each has a. wife and so the vote would only be doubled and no good whatsoever ac- complished.
 Another thing is that man is very prone to put off onto the shoulders of the woman any unpleasant duty. He used to go to church, but now he's very glad to let her Go that for him. Its just like the Irish soldier who said to the horse when he caught his hoofs in the stirrups, Well, if you're going to get on.J I'm going to get off
 Women can rule only through love and the only way that they can rule through love in through the home.
 began by saying that woman's anything which does not meet the need Of the times is not progressive. T have striven to show that a thing which leads toward the decay of the family, toward, possibly, the abolition of marriage. is not progressive.

'BROOKL AWN'S BEST
 R0WIERS TO HAVE
 ONE REAL BIG NIGHT
When They Return from the Big Burg They Will Have Tales to Tell. But Will RAey7

Captain Charles B. Weeks victor Ious bowling quintet oz the BrookIawn Country club have a rare treat store for them toInorroW evening when they are to be the guests of one of the members Of the tesm George H. New. York. 1sr, Graves is q sonAin- flaw of za1mon Gopdsel1 and MRs for merly in charge of the Fairdsld Chemical Works At present he has general supervision cver the chemical works at Chestnut Ei1I near Coney most important plants owned by the General Chemical Go.
 Although MT Graves has been com pelleds to take up his residence outside Of this city owing to the demands of the buainess with which he is identi- fled. elnce returning from Cuba, where he went to restore to . plane of effi- cfency, big and hitherto unproduc- five plant of the company, he has al- ways retained his interest In his local falIowsf1fpE and has remained an ac- tive member Of the quintette which last season bowled it's way to supre1n- aey in a If t1am tourney that left no doubt as to the superior calibre Of the bow1erB.
 He has managed to nnd time to keep up his interest here and when ever he appears to send the spheroid
 
 sion is always heraIded by a little din- per with his team mates. As a result sort of coxnradeshtp has been built up that neither time nor distance has been able to efface.
 Mir Graves has been a bit ptazzlfd to know just how he would get even and he finally hit upon a happy plan. If he could only induce the boys to steal away from home for a day or two the problem would be solved. So by various way best known to himself he eventually succeeded in exs,cting d promise whereby the boys agreed to give him z4 or more hours of their time at his convenience. That settled it. He did the rest or rather is going to and it can be depended upon that he will do it in royal style:
 Tomorrow the quartet comprising Capt Weeks. Edward s. Hotchkiss, Harry Wheeler and Za1mon Goodsell leave-the time is being kept a secret flor the big burg where they afe to be taken i'm tow by MT. Graves.
 We'll, what will happen afterwards Is not supposed to be told in it's en- tfrety- This much however. is per missable. A fine and dainty dinner and a box at one of the best theatrical performances now running in the metropolis is included in the program. Beyond that 1t is not pernaissa.bae to Speculate but there will be other e1ft- tie things on the schedule for the proper entertainment of the "big four'' from the Brooklawn aggregation It is needless to add that MT. Graves is only to9. pleased to be able to officiate as host on this occasion
 Incidentally # might be said in pass ing that when MT Graves got tI1rough win that job down in Cuba the plant showed a saving of 80 per cent. in ex- penses besides greatly increased ef- aciency- That trip of his to Cuba and

BOY IS CAUSE OF LIVELY HEARING IN
 HARTFORD COURT

Hartford. Feb. e-Denying today the mot on of Mrs. Elizabeth c.. Holman for modification and change in the or der Of custody of her son, Jonathan Brentasa, Judge Gardiner Greene, in the superior court, said he did not think 1t necessary to hear testimony on the matter, though Mrs. Holman and her husband, Frederfck F. Hol- man Of 5IaterTiIle, Me, and her for mer husband, Prof. Cranston Brenton of this cit J. were present in court and Mrs. Holman was called to the wit ness stand by her counsel, Stiles Jud- son, of Stratford.
 Before the hearing opened MT Jud- son made motion that the boy be produced in court and allowed to state his preference as to his custodian. whether his father or his mother. MT. Judson said he understood sthe boy was in Hartford. Ralph o. Wells, counsel for Prof. Trenton, replied that the lad is in Yonkers, N. Y. MT. Jud- son contended that this was in vio- lation of the court order of custody. Afterward Judge Greene read the or- der, pointing out that there is an erroneous statement in Mrs. Holman S motion. to the effect that the boy shall not be taken out of the stae, where as the order of custody says he shall be taken outside by the father on reasonable travels. Judge Greene said that unless MT. Judson could show contempt of the order there was no reason for the hearing.
 Mir .sJudson said he would file a mo- ton of contempt against Prof. Bren- ton. but Judge Greene said it was not necessary, as the taking of the boy to Workers was not unreasonable travel.
 MT. hudson said MT. Wells had writ ten letter to Mrs. Holman threat- ening her with arrest on a statutory charge if she came here. MT. Wells denied that he had written such a

TAX BOARD WOULD THWART SCHEME E OF
 INCREASING POLICE

Some members of the board of ap- portionment are not in sympathy with the proposal to increase the po- lice force one lieutenant and Is pa trolmen. At the meeting last night on the motion of A B. Macdonald it was voted to ask an opinion from the city attorney as to whether or not the board is obliged to provide funds for the pay of these men who are to be added to the force by vote of the council
 The board voted to ask the city at torney to tell if they must provide money for every fund-requiring meas- ure which the common council ap- proves. Mayor Wilson said he did not want to anticipate the opinion of the city attorney but in his, opinion the board had discretionary powers in granting, appropriations or increases in appropriations in different depart ments but where positions were created and compensation fixed by law he said the board had no alter native but to provide the money.
 Several years ago the very question on which the members of the tax board are seeking light was taken to the supreme court for a decision. The supreme court held that the board of apportionment was required to furnish money for the salaries for any post Hons, or for increases which the com mon council might create.

NOW

is the time to buy your boy
 a Besse System suit while the prices are at the lowest mark. All boys suits and overcoats are marked for a quick clearance for the com ing Spring.
 Besse System prices, backed by the buying power of 43 stores, are at all times the lowest and quality the best. During this season of the year we are willing to sacri- flee our profits to make room and capital for the incoming stock. Those who know Besse System values have al ready taken advantage of these prices. This reminder is for you who have not been getting the benefit of buying in a Besse System Store. We absolutely guarantee the wear, quality, and workman ship of every garment we sell and ol1r endeavor at all times is to give all the value it is possible to give for the money.
 Last Fall we started a cam paign for a lower level of prices in Bridgeport and with such success that this Spring we shall carry the work further and give values that no store but a Besse. System Store would attempt. Several lines of mems suits for Spring on dis play, now.

MRS. MARTIN FIRES.
 WIT TY V0LLEY ON EQUAL SUFFRAGISTS
Declares That Movement For Votes For Women Is Not
 Truly Progressive.
Woman Must Contribute to Progress by Cherishing High Ideals in the
 Home.

Before good sized audience or prominent E'airdeldi and Bridgeport people, Mrs. John M. Martin. the clev- CT anti-srffragist, spoke in the Fair field Memorial library last evening. Mrs. william B. Glover. secretary of the Fairfield Association Oposed, to Wonan's Suffrage, who introduced Mrs Martin. struck the key7note of the words, sIt is 2 woman duty to bring up her sons to vote right rather than to vote herself and this is 9 much harder thing to do. Mrs Martin is a, very clever speak CT who keeps her audience in contin- uaI laughter by her witty and lightly yelled sarcastic remarks One feels that the terms of antiauated, old-fash- toned and so forth, so commonly ap- piled by Sunragists to the antfs, would never f1t in her case.
 Mrs Martin claims that equal suf-. frag1sm is not progressive. Anything progr essive, She says. is something which meets the special ills of the age We will have to be shown thaf.zin or der to meet the need of the times we must have more voters; that the. +, GOO laws which are now passed ev- cry year are not sufficient, Only a small eight per cent Of the women of the country want. the vote anyway, and there are thousands Of women who. if they had the privilege, would never use H. Idet+ eV1fSs OI I1ie L1II1S call for something quite different from equal suffrage. Two main tasks were. given to man and wpInan-to him that of getting IiVing,eto her, that of rearing the coming generation and now woman who was given the her birthright for a mess. of poh-s tics.s'
 High salaries; Mrs. Martin claims, are keeping many of the brightest, healthiest and most intelligent women Of our country from marriage. The opposite ways in the eases of men and women. When a young man rises rapidly in the field of business he marries sooner, while under similar circumstances the young woman puts off marriage, and so when society pays him a high salary it is making a profitable investment, while, with the same high salary paid to the young woman it is mortgaging it's future. When you buy a woman'se labor pow CT you are buying a part of the. race and the race is not for sale.
 If things continue thus and especial ly if salaries are increased by the cote, only the incompetent, the insane. and the unfit who cannot earn their living by working. will marry

awful slump in the Progressive or
ganization If the Democrats expect to
win this year in Ohio, they must do
it on their own account and by the
efforts of their party organization
and its candidates. They must de-
pend as in other years on their
standing as great political organ
1zatton, and just now the dominant
one in the nation, rather than hope
for success from the secession of the
one-time Republicans.
Il took pains to look personally
into the Progressive state meeting at
Columbus three weeks ago. Alas for
the claims, hopes and predictions of
Progressive leaders in Ohio when
they go home and become eloquent
about the Progressive party in Ohio.
In an audience of less than 200 per-
sons, which were actually all the
Bull Moosers" could muster against
the big Progressive conventions two
years ago in Columbus, and the IN.
mentable showing this year, there ID
the more wonder that any Democrat
IN Ohio can hope for any aid from
the Progressive party.
1T is all very we'll to hug delus-
ions In politics, but the Democrats
of Ohio must appreciate from now
on that a condition and not a theory
or hope confronts them this year. II
Willis, one OF the three Republicans
now in Congress from Ohio. is made
the Republican nominee for governor
he will not be an easy man to defeat
in November. In his congressional
campaign of two years ago he had
