Wins Overruled.

Mr.. WINS objected. but the court
overruled the objection on the ground
that as "A printing expert knew his busl-
ness he should know what would be
fair price for a piece of work.
Mr.. Home gave his opinion as to
wasteful an1 overcosty printing of re.
ports of the city of Albany In some
instances he said that pages on which
forty-one lines of type had been placed
had contained only thrty-tivc lines In
another year, the pages being of the
same size. The work was paid for by
the page.
Mr. Home told Mr. Hancock that he
had examined the Senate and Assembly
bills which were exactly the same with
the exception Of a change in the num-
Der and the substitution of the word
Senate for Assembly, These bills had
been printed by the Lyon company. Mr.
Home said the same type had been used
for the second time.

Records of the Stale OF New York"
was inspected.
They charged more for the paper
than they should and the book was far
more costly than it ought to have been"
said Mr.. Home
Mr. Hancock declared that he pro-
posed to prove by the witness that
after the printing Of the volumes the
y, u. Lyon Company presented bill
To the State Printing Board contain
ing Items for large amount of extra
composition and that the bin was
audited and paid.

Justice Andrews, provided YOU show
that Mr., Barnes improperly Influenced
the state Printing Board 10 pay this
bill in order to obtain an extra profit
for the j. II, Lyon Company"
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1915-05-08

Mr.. Home, the printing expert, was
recalled by Mr.. Hancock. Mr.. Home
was asked to criicise a journal OF the
Board OF Supervisors OF Albany county.
We wish to show that page after
page of tl.is book was an absolute waste
OF money" said Mr.. Hancock. There
was no more use for II than in printing
a city directory and charging II TO the
city. There are thousands OF claims
presented to the board which were unim-
portan; and which should have been left
out"
TIE court ruled that Mr. Home was
not qualified 10 give evidence as To
whether he printing of the claims was
necessary or not. because he is not an
expert on tina, subject
AIR, WINS made the point that the
claims were printed according TO the
statute and that Mr. Barnes therefore
could not be held responsible
Mr.. Hancock declared that not only
was this not so, but that Albany county
stopped printing claims in this manner
after the Bayne investigation.
We claim that the unnecessary print
ing of claims was done mainly 20 in
crease the profits OF the printer" Mr.
Hancock added
But do you expect to produce evil
dence which would prove that the print
ing was done wastefully because of any
action of Mr.. Barnes asked the court.
You are obliged to STOW that he was
responsible for this alleged printing
waste before any evidence relative to
such waste can 20 upon the record"
Il Will allow you very wide lati-
tude. Mr., Hancock" said the court.
II Will allow YOU to put in this evil
dence. but ! may rule later that IL
is not competent"
But YOU can't blot out yesterday
and YOU can't create tomorrow, In
terposed Mr.. WINS. And whether you
strike this evidence from the record
or not once 1t is In 1t must leave an
indelible impression on the minds Of
Jurors"
Il think that II ! request this jury

Vesuvius.

Vesuvius cut but a small figure fin history till the latter half of the first century of the Christian era. In = B. c. its crater served as q camp of refuge to a band of gladiators. In 63 A. D. the serenity was broken by violent grumbling that manifested itself in a severe earthquake that shook up the surrounding region. For sixteen years the subterranean rumblings continued at intervals, and in the year 70 A. D. came the great catastrophe in which Herculaneum and Pompeii were over whelmed. In 1631 there was another terrible explosion, and since that time Vesuvius has seldom been at re
 many years together.

pledges, was busy all day getting out multigraph copies of the list, to be dis tributed from suffrage headquarters. The lists give the name of every mem- Der of the house of representatives who, the suffragists say, promised to vote in favor of the amendment, with the way in which he did vote a roll call, Wednesday. These men, said the suf- frage leaders, would be'opposed by the association in their future political aspirations.
 Explaining how the pledges were made and secured, Mrs. Thomas N. Hepburn, president of the Connecticut Woman Suffrage association, said: "The organizers or league members went to the representatives in their home towns before they came to Hart ford and before the legislature opened, and asked them how they were going to vote. Those who pledged them selves to vote in favor, of the amend ment were put down as favorable; those who would not commit them selves were so registered, and the ones who were opposed as opposed. A month ago we had a majority in the house, but the powers in control there would not let the matter come to a vote until the members had been persuaded to go back on their pledges, to break the majority
 Here is the list of the alleged un- faithfnl-the thirty-one who voted contrary to what the suffragists claimed they said their attitude was:
 George Mercur. Bloomfield; Edward Handel, East Hartford; Herbert A. Chittenden, Granby; E. Clayton Good win, New Britain; Francis W. Andrus, Simsbury; Samuel R. Spencer, Suffield; James P.

The Profession of Mayor.

In Germany. where efficiency has be- come a national passion. the profession of mayor of cities has been establish ed. The people of the German cities reason in this fashion:
 We have here big corporation. 1t is a big business corporation and more. It is a big social organization us we'll, On its efficient management much of our comfort. our health. our success depends. Therefore we will get the best manager we can find. If he does not happen to be in the city we win go outside to get him."
 The cities pay we'll and employ the mayor-manager for d long term of years. After a preliminary trial he is retained indefinitely. In the larger Prussian cities his ability Is so esteem ed that he is usually made a member of the Prussian upper house. If he shows unusual qualifications he may he chosen a minister of state. The mayoralty in Germany really offers a career.-Nansas City Star.

Evolution of the Apple.

Apples are new in the economy of the worlds use and taste. At the be- ginning of the last century few varie- ties were known, and we can go back in history to Il time when all apples were little, sour and puckery-crab ap- ples and nothing else. The crab apple was and is in it's wildness nothing but a rosebush. Away back in time the wild rose, with its pretty blossoms that turn to little red balls, apple fla vored, and the thorny crab had the same grandmother.

SUFFRAGE-PRO AND CON
Pro-.

There is certainly no sign .of dis eouragement among suffragists las re- suit of the adverse vote of last week. Mrs. T. N. Hepburn, the president of the c. w. $. A. is particularly cheerful over the defeat. Speaking few days after the vote she said that she con- sidered it great victory for woman suffrage that in spite of the opposition of machine politics, and of the liquor lobby the suffrage amendment came within ten votes of winning. The men who voted in favor of the amendment, she said, did SO in spite of tremendous pressure brought to bear on them con- tinuously by these interests. The courage and moral strength of those men is great inspiration. There is no doubt in Mrs. Hepburn's mind that the next legislature will pass the amendment by an overwhelming ma jority, and that it will then go forward without unnecessary delay to the popu- lar vote.
 In considering the defeat of the sui frage amendment, Mrs. Hepburn con- tinued, we must bear in mind that the OIun0u uOWh U16 amendment, voted against the mothers pension bill, the teachers pension bill, against raising the age of consent for girls from sixteen to eighteen, against shortening the working day of women and children, and against the injunc- tion and abatement bill-the best law for fighting commercialized vice that has been tried in any state of the Union.
 The character of the men who spoke for us in the House, Mrs. Hepburn further assured the reporter, and the character of those who spoke against the suffrage amendment, is very signi- ficant I feel that every one of our 27,000 members must feel grateful to the men who stood by us. In very reactionary House of Representatives these men form hopeful element and an element that ought to be largely in creased. Press Sec.

Table Manners.

The good people of the church gave the poor children of the parish boun- tiful New Years dinner and the de- light of the youngsters was much more manifest than their table manners. One little fellow was discovered clutch ing a doughnut in one fist and n lump of steak in the other. He was reprov- ed for his breach of etiquette and took the reproach very meekly. But mo- ment later he turned to the diner next him and remarked respectfully, "The trouble about these here table manners is that they was invented by some body who wasn't never really hungryw -Argonaut.

Con.

One marked difference between the suffragists and the anti -suffragists is that the suffragists deal in theories and the antis in facts. This was strikingly illustrated at the legislature the day the Suffrage Amendment was defeated. The men who spoke in behalf of Woman Suffrage based their arguments on two premises contrary to fact. First that the women of of Connecticut were de- manding the ballot and second that "votes for women' would have purl- flying and uplifting effect. These theories are both wrong. The women of Connecticut are not asking the ballot. Less than per cent. of them are ask ing for it. Thousands more are banded together to work actively against 'votes for women." The vast majority do not want to vote and would not do so if the burden of the ballot were thrust upon them. So much for the first premise, the second is equally erroneous. "Votes for women" has not had puri- flying and uplifting effect in the states where women vote. The suffrage states are noted for the prevalence of Mormonism, for high divorce rates, for bad labor laws and for corrupt politics and politician. This is proved by news papers, magazines and books, even by the statements of the suffragists them selves. Until the suffragists have some more plausible reason for asking for the franchise there is little danger of it's being forced upon the unwilling and protesting majority of Connecticut women.
