LEoisLATivE DUTIES.
r


 Every one Of tho recently elected members Of the legislature will be wanting Go know what is required from him at the coming session. Thus it ia well at this time to begin congiderinG some Of the most important things that should be done at tho coming session.
 Thero win loo much for tho iegis.a. ture to do. and not much tbat it should not do. What it should not do le al- most as important as what 1t ahould do, for ie Che legislature attempts to pass laws that conflict with those of the government, only expensive legis. lation Will result and Che people will suffer They VIII do more than suffer they VIII become dlsgusted.
 So it is up to tho legislature to de- termine before a bill b passed if they have legal right to pass such Q meaoure. and if they do, and it is Of public benefit. they should not let 1t be sidetracked.
 One Of tho most important measures that should be passed by tho legisia- ture at It's next session iH one to cor. rect the voting system. At the present time Alaska is probably the only place under the Stayes and sripes where voting is conducted in such an anti- Quated manner
 The present system Of voting is what was used In olden times in the States for corrupt politics. and until it is re- placed by @ secret system it will be @ source of danger to tho public.
 The Australian ballot system. which Is common in most Of Che Stateg now, provides that only one voter can use e booth at q time. md that no other person may know how ho voted. In most states the regulations prevent the use Of pen or pencil, and per- sons choice is indicated by Q cross placed with a rubber stamp In front oil the nme of the person voted for
 Previous registration of voters i5 rel Quired by the Australian ballot system and thus the judges of election arc not compelled to determine e voler's right to cast his ballot. That is done by theI clerks previously, and the election judges will let only registered men and women vote. unless by some chance man has failed to register when he may vote by getting e sul- dcient number Of registered voters Co swear to his being eligible to yote.-I (Fairbanks CitizenO

SHOOTING PROVES FATAL
Ansonia Farm Haid Mysteriously Sho in Presence of Sweetheart.

Ansonia, Conn.,, July 13.-Nothing, new developed today in the murder of Joseph Tomalunis, who was shot down by an unknown man on Fac tory street, this city, at 1 o'clock Sun day morning. Tomalunis received a bullet wound in his neck, causing paralysis. He died at II o'clock Sunday evening at the Griffin hospital.
 Tomalunis had just left a social gathering at the home of Miss Annie Audojatis, his sweetheart, on Factory street when the shooting took place. The young woman accompanied Tomalunis to the street and while they were talking on the sidewalk, two young Italians passed and jostled them. Tomalunis was in- vited to come into the light of a nearby electric lamp and accepting the invitation, one of the Italians pulled revolver and fired three shots. One of them struck Tomalunis in the neck. The state police were sum- moned into the case but there is little for the authorities to wodk upon.

Wall Street, 10:45 a. m.-The new week brought little change to the stock market, the undertone again showing weakness in minor issues while investment shares held firm.

 C1osing-Liquidation of investment issues after temporary firmness was the feature of today's market. Cana dian Pacific declined five points on heavy offerings. The closing was weak.

William Jucniewiccz Purchases Stocl at Auction and Then Disappears
 Without Paying for It.

Going, going, gone!" shouted Con. stable Fred Wrinkle this afternoon when he was auctioning off the lea ther goods store of Saul Irannin at No. 56 Lafayette street. A New Ha- ven man had just bid $430 and Will liam Jucniewiecz, alias Jockman. had raised the bid to $435 when the con- stable-auctioneer knocked down the goods to him.
 As MT. Wrinkle climbed down from his stand to finish the deal he saw Jucniewiecz disappearing at the edge of the crowd. "I don't want the stuff,' the wouid-be purchaser is al- legged to have said. Then the man who bid $430 also signified a disin- clination to pay the $480 he had pre- yiously offered.
 Constable Wrinkle is much fncensec over the way that Jucniewiecz has acted and late this afternoon stated that he intended to visit Referee F.. M. Yeoynan to see what action can he taken against him to compel him to take and pay for the goods he bought at public a.ction. The consta bls said he would take legal action to make him pay up if necessary.

CHOLERA, INEANTUM
 KILLS ONE CHILD
Rumor Is That the Sudden Hot Spell Has Brought on Epidemic h
 One Part of City.

It is said that there is a small ept- demic of cholera infantum in the northern section of the city and as a result Edward Darkus, the seven months old son of MT. and Mrs. Dar- hus of 63 Booth street, died yestec- day afternoon after a brief illness. The funeral services will be held tv- morrow morning at 9 o'clock and in- terment will be in St. Mary's ceme- tery. 1t is thought that the sudden hot spell has brought on the epidemic. Helen Wasik, aged 3 years and three months, died yesterday at her par ents home at No. 210 High street and the funeral will be held tomorrow morning at 7:30 o'clock. Interment will be in Sacred Heart cemetery. The little girl died of pneumoina.

testimony on the acquisition of the stock, especially that relating to due bills given to be redeemed with stock of the New Haven. The report adds: Tt seems very strange that MT. Mel len was not able to identify with any particularly any one with whom he had these transactions except the late Thomas J. Byrnes.
 ''The total sum expended as the result of the action of this commit tee aggregates $14,os0,00S.1s."
 Wanted Another Entrance.
 The report says that the explana- tion, was urged that. the New Haven wanted another entrance into New York city,
 "A very casual study impeaches the reasonableness of any such ex- planation.
 The one accomplished result of the Westchester transa ction was the stifiing of possible competition into New York city from New England. The blame for the Westchester rests squarely upon the directors of the New Haven road.
 Instance of Waste.
 ''The purchase of the Rhode Island trolleys was another instance of millions wasted in acquiring prop critics that bring an annual deficit ln- stead of a surplus and constitute a liability instead of an asset in the New Haven system.
 The millions that were made from this transaction were brought into existence at the expense of the stockholders of the New Haven and the New Haven stock was diluted to the extent of the water thus added.
 Road Directors Acquiesced.
 When the details had been worked out by MT. Mellen for the assuming of this additional burden the board of directors without question ac- quiesced.
 ''The Rhode Island and Connecticut trolley ventures are further evil dences of the prodigality in the ex- penditures of the money New Haven stockholders in carrying out an un- lawful policy of transportation monopoly.
