States Attorney Says He Will Prosecute

States Attorney Says lie Will Prosecute
 Regarding the subject of sunday baseball playing in New London, an interview with State Attorney Hadlat Hull, caused him to remark most em- phaticaliy thnt any violation of the law, and he considered this to be such, would be promptly met by proseeu ton. aThis matter, said he, has been thoroughly threshed out in the assembly and no other interpretation can be made of the mntter.' Contin- ulng, he said, "there Is no limit, should this be granted, to the different forms of entertainment which would feel en. titled to the same consideration. No one enjoys game of baseball better than I enjoy one, but the stale laws prohibit such amusement on the Sab bath and, as have stated, such laws must be and will be enforced. The fact that there are instances within the commonwealth where Sunday baseball playing is conducted, will in no way Htleet the situation in New London.
 There i, HuIe doubt that the di reetors of tte New London club intend to test oat he lae next sunday. Tine opposing lem has mol been selected yet bul | proo,oA will be either Law renee or I3Neil.
 The si uHdioa has been ennvassed oA the direetaf, and the optnion has beer predominant that the people Waai baseball on Sunday. That is day when they can attend the games an get the recreation they desire without | in the least detracting from the spifi of the day. They hold that baseball play ed on sunday Is not different from baseball played on Monday unless th' conditions attending the game ar, abused and the sport becomes othe than a baseball game.

No New Developments Up to Today
Captain Ryan Makes His Position Clear

Up 10 lto-day, Thursday, so far as outward appearances eo, there have been no new developments In the sun. day baseball situation. Whether those opposed 10 the Sunday games are not going any farther with the matter k not known but nothing more has been doue as far ns the public knows.
 Captain Joseph Ryan of the police department in an interview today said that he had been quoted freely by press representatives in Putnam, II have been quoted, mlsquoted and only putially quoleI at times, said the captain, "and l wish you would make my position in this matter clear.

But 1 have performed my duty, and snail continue to perform 1t, not ns other people see it for tue but using my own best judgment for what consider tae best interests of the city.
 "i have Al no time refused to enforce the law relative tto sunday base bnll playing. 1 did stay away from the game last Sunday and 1 did keep my men away. This. was done with the approval and sanction of the mayor told those interested in having the game stopped last sunday that fl any one of them would go to the grounds witness with their own eyes that | game was in progress and then come 10 me and tell me what was going or and request me to stop the game would do so.

The Sugar Duties.

Democrats and Republicans alike
are playing with twoedged tools
when they reproach each other with
Inconsistency on the free-sugar ques-
ton. Both have put 1t inta their
platforms before election and have
failed to stand by 1t after election.
But the Democrats now have better
excuse than the Republicans had for
replacing the duty upon sugar. They
not only promised to remove 1t. but
actually did remove it--almost. No
doubt there is need Of more revenue.
and the restoration Of the sugar
customs is the easiest resource of the
treasury.
The increase of trade activity has
been so great that the treasury now
has hopes that the internal revenue
receipts will make good the loss OF
customs Internal revenue receipts
thus far in the fiscal year are $685..
100000, against $2S,0O0.000 last year.
and the treasury looks for $4S0,000.-
600, against 415.0O0.O0O for the full
year. Customs receipts are only some
100000 behind last year. and there
is good reason to look for surplus
on ordinary operations OF the govern
ment.

Such man is quite incapable OF

think why his wife doesn't. The man
who Is popular with men, says this
lady, never gets on, either in business
or anything else. He takes pride In
being good spender and he cuitivates
the art of generously spending, to the
detriment of the art of making. The

men are always 80 sorry for him. be.
