 Local political circles have been interested during the past few days in a rumor that United States Mar ehal Sidney B. Hawley, of Bridge port formerly sheriff of Fairfield. county, is a candidate for the position of state labor commissf oner to suc- ceed Patrick H. Connolley, of this city. Local republican leaders credit stand Marshal HawIey has entered MT. HawIey's term as marshal which is a federal office, will expire in a short time. and he will be succeeded byf Sheriff MiddIebrooKs, Of Ldtchfeld county, who was recently appointed to take Marshal Hawley's place.
 A bill is now before the general assembly to combine the offices of state labor conn missioner and state factory inspector and in the opinion of local leaders Commissi oner Con- nolIey- will not have such a good chance for re-appointment if the of fees are consolidated, as he would if the offices are kept separate as they are at present time. Strong op- position has sprung up all over the state against the consolidation of the offices. Labor organizations in about every .city in the state have endorsed the retention of MT. Connolley. Gov ernor HoIcomb has the appointive power and he is expected to make the I appointment after the matter of con- 1 soidation of the labor coInrnissi oner- 1 ship and factory inspector is deter l mined.

NEW HAVEN NOTE ISSUE APPROVED;
 ELLIOTT HOPEFUL

New York. April 1A.-The board of directors of the New York. New Ha- ven 6 Hartford Railroad company, at a meeting here yesterday, approved of negotiations that have been completed for taking care of $30, GOO. 600 of notes of the New Haven" company and the Harlem River 6 Portchester Railroad was announced by Chairman Howard Elliott. The negotiations were made with J. F. Morgan 6 Co. the First National Bank and the National City Bank of New York, and Kidder, Pea body & Co.,, and Lee Higginson & Go. of Boston.
 Chairman Elliott says that 'ss3, GOO, 600 of the notes maturing May I will be paid off in cash, thus reducing the company's noahng debt by that amount, and only $2z, ,o00, GOO of new notes will be Issued. The company named $27.o0o,O 900, notes of the New Haven company running one year. at 5 per cent. for ss 1-4s'
 MT. Elliott further asserts that the New Haven'' has succeeded in ob- taining necessary legislation in Con necdcut, permitting 1t to put back of these notes a very strong list of col lateral, some of which a year ago could not be used under the then existing laws
 Signs of improvement in it's business are seen by Chairman Elliott. In this connection he declares:
 The volume of business now being done by the company is not quite as large as it was in 1913 and 1914, and huctuates somewhat, but there are in dfcauons of an improvement so much so that the company on April 12 put its passenger and freight car shops on full time and it's locomotive shops working four days a week instead of three, as has been, the practice for some months past.''
 Continuing, he says: FThe company hopes to obtain favorable Legislation in Massachusetts and Connecticut 50 that before the present issue of ST. 9o00o0 of notes falls due, some com prehensiye plan for permanent f1nan- c1ering can be adopted to take care not only of these notes, but also of the notes Of the New England Navigation company, which fall due May 1, 1917.''

For teaching languages nothing can compare with baseball. Take the case of Don Emilio Palermo, the Cuban left-hander, now with the New York Giants When he came to the train ing camp at Marlin a year ago he was so fnept in English that he nearly starved to death, until Chief Myers taught him to bridge the difficulties Of the menu with the phrase Bring what you got But a season of base ball in America has made a, differ ence.
 To such an extent has Palermo mastered our tongue that he is able to have his eggs fried on both sides and to obtain his coffee in 8 large or a small cup, as he may desire. Moreover, he has learned to over come the limits of his vocabulary with vivid pantomime.
 In answer to a, question he stated that his club, the Havanass had cap tured the championship of Cuba and that he had won ten out of 5 games in the league race. And how did you come to lose those five games,' $ he was asked.
 For a moment Palermo hesitated and attempted to dig out the words required. but he smiled as an easier method came to mind, and stopping, and then his left foot. For just a moment his interviewers were puzzled Then the light dawned. "Ah, yesl'' they exclaimed. t"The games were booted away!''
