 In order to send a man to tho state farm for inebriates it must be proved that he has been arrested three times or more for drunkenness. Prosecutor Klett read Witka's record, after which there was no doubt. In 1912 he was convicted five times. In 1913 he was convicted twice and the following year four times. Last night 8 arrest was the second this year. He has been sent to jail repeatedly, hav- ing served a total of 120 days for drunkenness.
 He expressed himself as we'll pleas ed with the verdict this morning and said he wanted to go to the farm.

NO OPPOSITION TO ROAD.

Hartford, Dec. 1.-There was no York, New Haven and Hartford Rail road company for permission to take land for railroad purposes at the hearing before the public utilities commission in the capitol yesterday. The land in question is located in Stonington and owned by Mrs Mary P. Hyde. While there was no formal opposition a letter was read from Fred S. and w. A. Pendleton of Brooklyn, N. Y., brothers of Mrs. Hyde in which they called attention to the annoyance from which their sister would suffer by the laying of tracks on the land. It is the inten- tion of the company to use it for a siding for freight cars.

tubs; his sailors were a
motley lot of common
workhouse dubs. When
they had sailed a thous-
and miles, the boys began
to roar. eff that old nut

Spain. There's no use
working for a guy who
gives us all a pain!"
Columbus climbed the
shaky mast and strained
his telescope in looking
for a bit of land. But he
had not lost hope. AT
breakfast every morning,
and at night, when hope
seemed gone, they asked
him, whats the pro-

said, "Sail on!"

But the police, who had receiv-

trailed Anderson and the swind-

1t was several hours before All

BY AMOS PINCHOT

When j. ID. Rockefeller, jr.,
went to Colorado, there was just
one question of public importance
for him to answer.
This question was not whether
the Rockefelers have had a
change of heart, or whether
young Rockefeller is a sincere and
Christian character. These are
matters that chiefly concern the
Rockefellers and not the public.
The question was: What Is the
final stand of the Rockefellers
about labor unions? For recogni-
ton OF the union is the one ir-
reconcilable issue between capital
and labor.
1t is true that Mr.. Rockefeller s
decision was yelled by his an
nouncement that he would permit
labor to have its own local or
CARNATIONS (which would be
about as helpless in a clash with
the Rockefellers as childs toy

dreadnaught). IL is true also that

Final arrangements were made

was purposely delayed so as not

both.
After all the agitation and edu-
cation Of the last two years, it is
discouraging to find that capital
has learned nothing, and is thinx-
ing of nothing, except how to re-
inforce its power. This means
that the chief fight for democracy
must be made, not against the
reactionary politician, who op-
poses progressive machinery OF
government, but against the in
dustrial absolutist who dominates
society by economic power.

Turkish sultan and supreme council

OF all the Turk forces and the brilliant
star to which the destinies OF the Turks
are irrevocably hitched.
He is the glorified rufian Of the Young

who went into Tr1VbH disguised as a

cabinet which had all but surrendered

He shaves close before breakfast, smokes
an astonishing amount of cigarettes and
can drink such fiery draughts as cognac
without blinking an eye.
In other respects he is decidedly
European. He let's alone the thick,
sweet coffee of his country and drinks his
beverage in French style. He takes
Turkish coffee only on ceremonial oc-
casions.
Another alarming European custom he
has adopted is the marrying of only one
