REGRET TO LOSE MOORE.

There will be very general regret at the resig-
nation OF John Bassett Moore counsellor of
the State department DIR. Moore is regarded
as one Of the highest authorities in this coun-
try on International law, and Secretary Bryan
was considered fortunate in being able to in
duce him to become his assistant.
IT is announced that DR.. Moore will continue
his work in Washington for the Carnegie in
sttute for some time, and later will resume
his connection with Columbia university.

CHAIRMAN MEEHAN WILL
 NOT SUBMIT PEACEADLY
Says He Is Candidate for Re- election As Head of
 Safety Board.

It is not unlikely that there will be a strong political fight this eve ming when the new board of public safety meets to organize. Clerk A. E. Magnell and Mark E. Cashmere are two strong contenders for the position of clerk of the board and Joseph R. Andrews has been promi- nently mentioned for the chairman ship of the board but it is not likely that he will go in on a path of roses, for it is being strongly hinted that Chairman John Meehan will again be a candidate for that position
 When MT. Meehan was elected chairman it was with the understand ing on the part of the republicans that he step out in case the republi- cans won the spring election. MT. Meehan informed the members of the republican ranks that he would consent to no such plans and would be chairman in name and fact Asked today if he still was of the same opinion he assured the reporter that he was and would likely again try for the same position and would make definite plans as soon as ne had conferred with Commissioner E. B. filling, the other democratic member of the board. Thus it is probable that there will be contest for the chairmansn1p of the board between Mir. Meehan and MT. An drews.
 Coming down to the appointment of the clerk it would appear that a deadlock is inevitable. MT. Meehan has come out f1atfooted with the as- sertion that he is in favor of MT. Magnell but none of the other mem- bers will put themselves on record. However, it is well known fact that Commissioner Healey is boosting MT. Cashmere. Commissioner filling re- fused to make a statement, saying fe would have his say tonight and MT. Andrews made practically the samc answer when interviewed. If, how ever, the commissioners vote along party lines a deadlock will result, when it is proposed to place the name of Charles w. Irving in nom- ination.
 A rumor has been current all day that Mr. Irving was a candidate but when questioned he said, 1T have been asked to be a candidate for the clerk of the safety board and have refused to enter the contest. If there is a deadlock between these two men I will be a candidate but not under any other circumstances"
 Ex-Councilman George E. Elliott is said to be another candidate for clerkship of the board

BOY OF FOURTEEN SHOWS REMARKABLE APTITUDE Cyril Cullen Works in Clay With Crudest of
 Tools.

Working deftly and skillfully at his than his own slender fingers, a com mon brass pin, one of his mothers hair pins and a pen knife, Cyril Crof- ton Cullen, the fourteen-years-ol son of Mrs. N. M. Cullen of West Main street, will, it is prophesied by his instructors, eventually become prom inent in the artistic world.
 Although he is but fourteen years old and is very small and frail for his age, Cyril has made many models of famous sculptural masterpieces and only a few weeks ago his model of the BOnheur horse was awarded a $1O gold prize at the Hartford Art school, where the boy has been studying one evening a week for fhe past two sea- sons. Concerning his work the resi- dent art instructor, R. F. Logan, says The shows remarkable talent and makes a great struggle for self ex- pression." MT. Logan takes a great interest in the boy and assists him in his work.
 When but a small child he showed an aptitude for art work by sitting for hours at time and cutting fancy animals out of paper Then he began to copy pictures from books, then to draw from sculpture and finally to model figures. At the Hartford Art school he has modelled the features of King David's eye and ear, a hand, the faces of Venus and Dante and the Bonheur horse. At home, with the crude tools mentioned before, he has made an excellent likeness of Ben jamin Franklins features and also a clever copy of the Laocoon. This lat ter piece he made and brought to his teacher as a surprise.
 The boys work will be placed on exhibition in the Dickinson Drug companys window on Main street tomorro and will later be exhibited at the New Britain Institute

WHAT, WHEN AND HOW DO
 CAPTIVE ALL|GAT0RS EAT?
Railroad Men Have Some and Don't Know What to
 Do With Them.

Do alligators eat paving stones, hot angel cake, railroad ties or frayed typewriter ribbons? And if they do eat any of these. how often are they fed?
 Information on this point wifi be received gratefully by Walter l.. Hal liday, yard master for the railroad in this city, who has several alligators on his hands and doesn't know what to feed them or when.
 The alligators are the property of Bert Swan, who appeared last week at Keeney's theater, and who was stranded when it came time to leave town. It is said that he was walking Broadway nibbling> at his cuffs when P. s. McMahon, the local theatrical magnate, staked him and paid his ex- penses and those of the alligators to this city, where they were part of the regular bill at Keeneys theater..
 After Swan had paid his bills at the end of the week he found himself on his uppers. He moved his alligators and paraphernalia to an express car and made bee line for New York, where he hoped to raise funds to move his pets back to Manhattan. He left two assistants here in charge of the reptiles but both of these have deserted, one going to his home in Philadelphia yesterday and the other going on "toot' and announcing that he was through with Swan and the beasts.
 This brings the story to the point where Yard Master Halliday is intro- duced to the spotlight. He received a message this morning from Super intendent Fitzmaurice of the western division telling him to feed the alli- gators. The message contained no hint as to what to feed them or when or whether the feeding process was to be accomplished with spoon or 8 squirt gun. The yard master with an army of trustees went to the tempor- ary home of the alligators, which is in an express car a short distance west of the Main street crossing, de- termined to feed their unwelcome guests at any cost. When they got there they found the alligators locked up in boxes with heavy padlocks. They were unable to open the boxes and anyway if they did it would have done them no good as they didn't 1 know what kind of food the gators l would prefer. Someone suggested al- 1 ligator pears and another alligator 1 slippers and travelling bags. Both were immediately elected from the car. At l last reports the beasts were still with out their meal.

BIG EXPRESS co. TO
 MAKE ITS HOME HERE
William F. Higgins to Buy Out Greater Part of System Now Operated by
 Connecticut Company.

A big change in the management of the trolley express which has been operated by the Connecticut company throughout the state is said to be due for announcement in 8 few days in which William F. Higgins a New Britain man, will take over the greater part of the business. MT. Higgins has been with the express department of the Connecticut company for the past ten years and understands the business thoroughly.
 Herald reporter talked with MT. Higgins over the telephone at his of flee in New Haven today, but secured little or< no information. Mir. Hig- gins did not appear surprised at the questions, but said that as far as he knows no change is in view. c. A. Bence, who handles the local end of the express business has received no orders as to the change in ownership, he says.
 Those close to MT. Higgins affirm that he will take over a large part of the business shortly, despite his re- luctance to admit that such is the case. To what extent his venture will go is not known. 1t is also said that he intends to conduct a general trucking business as we'll.
 According to the Herald's inform ant, MT. Higgins intends to make New Britain his headquarters when the deal is consummated. He will also make his home in this city.
 MT. Higgins left New Britain a de- cade ago to go with the Connecticut company and is now said to be the brains of the entire express system. He is a brother of John J. Higgins, the real estate baron, and Martin F. Higgins, superintendent of Russell xs Erwin's.

MERIDEN MANS CAR
 SMASHES INTO POLE
Buick Automobile Badly Damaged By Collision at Noon
 Hour.

Slurring and sliding on the wet pavement and then getting caught in the car tracks as he was trying to negotiate the corner at the junction of Elm and Church streets this noon time Wayne Robinson of Meriden, driving his Buick touring car, license 11378, had a lucky escape from serious injury when his machine crashed into a telephone pole with great violence, practically demolish- ing one side of the car. Robinson es- capped uninjured
 He states that his wheels caught in the car tracks and when he essayed to turn out his auto was dashed against the pole. The accident oc- cured at bad corner and on the slippery permanent pavement. The force with which the machine struck the pole knocked large splinters from the pole and smashed in the right side of the car like an egg shell.
 The front wheel was smashed, the rear wheel was entirely broken off, the tonneau was caved in, the wind shield was broken and the fore door was cracked.
 It will probably cost at least $200 to repair the damaged machine.
