Baseball is more than a game. It Is more an institution. It is the near est approach that the country has to national religion, national phil osophy. a national belief It is the great national physical training school of our future soldiers of our indus trial workers, of our strategists, of our citizens. It is the nations safety valve and the manifestation of the nations distinctive genius. It is an al- legory of American life, American qualities and the American spirit It is the foundation of the melting pot It is the thing that makes Americans live long and die happy It is the biggest, finest most stup6ndous, most glorious sun that ever showered it's benedictions on the existence of an entire people.-New London Day

GUNMEN ElEOTROCUTED.

The four gunmen convicted of the murder of Herman Rosenthal were electrocuted this morning in Sing Sing prison despite the most deter mined efforts to save them. They died much the same as other mur- derers have died; they had the at tention of clergymen and they were keyed up for, the terr4ple ordeal. but they trembled ands lost color as all others have before them and were put to death as quickly as electricity could do it. There was a great deal of talk of a confession but none was made and them carried their se-' cret to the grave. Some said they did not shoot Rosenthal and that was undoubtedly true because 1t was never claimed that all fired shots but there was scarcely any question but that all were connected with the crime. There is no doubt of that now.
 The gunmen talked a great deal about their innocence but when it came time to die they were silent and the public can rest reasonably satis- fled that the law claimed the right men. They were bad lot. they made crime business and have paid for 1t with their .lfves.: The story of their last hours shows that they embraced re- ligion and died believing in God and a hereafter. They made stir in this section of the country at least and the events leading up to their ex- ecution has created ahsreat deal of interest Those who have started on the same road they trod during their short lives or who have been leading the same sort of a career will do we'll to read of their final day on earth. It may cause them to do some serious thinking. The evidence is there to prove as completely as anything can be proven that bad life is apt to close with suffering, sorrow and ignomny and that he who would avoid such an end must be honest and manly and keep clear of evil companions and places where they gather.

ELECTION TOMORROW.

The general impression in New Brit
 ain today is that the city election Tomorrow will be a close one on the |may oralty There are men who are willing to make wagers that Mayor |Halloran will be reelected and there are others who have made bets on MT. Quigley. That seems to be the keeling throughout the city and 1t Is likely to continue so until the votes are, counted tom borrow evening.
 F The republicans are claiming |party majority of over thousand land they are appealing to it to como out and support the party's candidate for mayor. Some will do it. they have agreed to do so, but there is no |doubt but that MT. Quigley will be |cut bu4 how much no one can tell land for that reason no one can pre- |dict how the contest will end. Mayor |IIalloran will receive a number of Republican votes, there is no doubt |of it, but whether he will receive IGnOuSH lO OllSoI tA1C MS A0pu'$AAS0A |maj ajority is question no one can answer. MT. Quigley expects many |democratic votes, he says so and his |friends are repeating 1t and this |tends to further complicate the sit- |uation.
 Just why the democrats are expect led to vote for MT. Quigley has |not been explained, except on the |ground that he is workingman's fcandidate.e That, however. cannot be very sound reasoning because the |democratic candidate for mayor Is |jdst as much of a working man as |the republican candidate and when |sifted down the question of suprem- lacy resolves itself into one of guess |work and pure speculation. : s.; <. The fact that Mayor Halloran has been in office for four years. made Ia good record. and that there is SC much independent voting done in To- |cal elections gives him a good chance Ito win, in fact a better chance than lit does MT. Quigley. There does not appear to be any interest in the Ticket below that of mayor. ::

SCHEUY'S CONTEN-
 f TON 6.s8

Registrar Scheuy added a little tn-.
 terest to the campaign today by call Ing attention to, law passed last Eear under which. he says, he can hold |ctIice until next January. This act provides by amending the public acts
 of 1903, 1905 and 1907 the regis Itrars elected in Hartford, Now Brit
 bin and Norwioh, the latter in 1913
 and the others in 1914, shall not take cffice until the January succeeding |their election, and that as result
 MT. scheuy will~oontinue in offloe until
 next January.
 There is apparently some doubt as Ito whether this law applies to New
 Britain under it's present charter. In 1908 and 1905 New Britain had two Governments, the registrars were elect
 ed in October and the law was evi-
 dently intended to have the registrars |the following January. and was never .ii tended to apply to officials elected
 under a special charter in, April. The case is one which will have to be
 passed on by the corporation coun- sel. particularly as the >aot, according
 to the interpretation of MT. Schuey, would mean almost a years salary for him and just that much delay for the new registrar. The average layman cannot under
 stand, for instance, how the legislature can grant New Britain a charter to transact public business, elect it's officers and a few years later, without ever notifying this city. pass another : law affecting its charter rights, and expect 1t to stand as an |act to be observed by New
 Britain when the latter's char |tef Tights have never been repealed, |snd yet that is the meaning of the |chaim of Mr. Scheuy. It looks as if |tEe latter's interpretation of the law taay not be the one to be observed in ki4is city.

A New Haven hotel clerk who re- gently fell heir to small fortune has fled from the city and will devote his time to operating hennery in the wilds of Iamden. When eggs are re- tailing at sixty cents dozen next winter, he probably can find some consolation for the tangoing that he has missed in the city.-Bridgeport Standard

 They are now talking of trotting out Judge John F. Studley to run upon the republican ticket as candi- date for sheriff of New Haven county After the sorry showing of the judge as a candidate for governor it looks as though his strength was not heavy. Still, he can hardly be blamed for his run in 1912 The republican machine wanted. to make 1t easy for Baldwin to win and they put up a candidate with no strength as the corporations desired.

OWNED BY THIRTEEN MEN
BY ellison Gardner.
Washington, March 10.-Most of
the United States is owned by thir-
teen men. Testimony to this effect
was presented before the joint COM
mittee of the" Senate and House con-
sidering the presidents trust bills. In
diagram form it was set out by DR..
Frank ]. Warne, the well-known sta
tician. He presented the committee
with figures on interlocking director
ates, and it appears that the principle
owners of America are the following:
w. K. Vanderbilt, James Stillman,
George F. Baker, L. c.. Ledyard, w. K.
Vanderbilt, Jr., H. B. Ledyard, w. G.
Brown, Marvin Hughitt, w. H. New
man, J. P. Morgan, William Rookie
teller, C. M. Depew and F. w. Wander
bilt.
These men have 304 connections
with transportation lines, 81 with
financial companies, 116 with indus
trials, among their interlocking direc-
torates. How things interlock are in
