WIFE BEATER GETS
 30 DAYS IN JAIL
Milk Peddler Is Fined for Viola
 ton of Ordinance

Due to a misunderstanding as a re- suit of which Assistant Prosecutor J. G. Woods was not notified to appear in court this morning to conduct the states case and consequently did not arrive until late, court did not con- vene until after o'clock. After that however, business was conducted rap idly and it was but a few minutes be- fore John Seaman had been sent to jail for thirty days for beating his wife and John Conlon, milkman, had been fined s5 and costs for a violation of an ordinance.
 Use Cat-and-Nine-TailS on Wife.
 Seaman seems to be a chronic wife beater and only a few months ago served thirty days in jail for the same offense At 1:3O o'clock this morning Officer Storey met Mrs. Seaman at the corner of Grove and Broad streets ana she complained that her husband had been beating her. The officer arrest ed the man at his home, 161 Broad street.
 Mrs. Seaman told the court that or; returning from work yesterday her husband raided the family treasure chest and went out to get drunk. lie returned later and conducted another raid on the family bank. When he H. nallv came home drunk his wife was in bed but he proceeded to express ms love for her in no uncertain terms by using cat-o-nine-tails. The drunken husband beat his wife about the race and head Judge Meskill, in pro- nouncing sentence, ordered that Wheh he returns from jail Seaman snail oo placed on probation. -., .-~.
 Filled Bottles in Street.
 John ConIon is a Kens1ngton ill'ih dealer and he was fined $5 ana coslS for filling milk bottles in the street Ill violation of the ordinance Whlch states that milk dealers shall fill thelr bottles only in their dairies. MIX ana Food Inspector Radcliffe told the court that he had received an anony- mons complaint about MT. Conlon and located him on Dwight street where he found that on coming out of house with empty bottles he filled them LID in his wagon and immediately delivered them. This is highly dan gerous practice from a sanitary point of view, the doctor stated. In case there had been any contagious disease in the house from which the bottles were collected the disease would thus imm ediateIy be transferred to any oth- CT house where the newly filled bot ties might be delivered.
 MT. Conlon pleaded guilty and made no statement to the court.

DR. MEAD TALKS ON
 CITY IMPROVEMENTS
Authority on Housing Says Mills
 Hotel Is Needed Here

Dr. Kate c. Mead of Middletown spoke before the Woman's club yes- terday afternoon in an interesting and instructive manner, telling of the housing conditions among the poor and particularly in New Britain.
 In part Dr. Mead said: New Brit ain with it's large foreign population (the largest in .Coflnecticut with possibly the exception of Bridgeport 55 per cent. of whom are Poles, has many problems to face and the women of the city should work hand in hand with the board of health to better conditions.
 Overcrowding q Great Evil.
 "Overcrowding is one of the great est evils we have to fight. A house with no proper sanitation large enough for one small family only arH filled to overf1owing with boarders is not likely to bring forth any condi- tions other than those of crime, inn morality and disease.
 'All lack of proper sanitation is responsible for the large infant inn mortality,-and while much has been done by the milk station and Visiting Nurses association there is still much to do. Public sentiment must be educated and the immortality and disease brought about by all bad con- ditions must be thoroughly under stood.
 "A Little Mothers league in the summer schools is a real educator and the mothers themselves must be taught the proper methods of caring for their children, for in them rests the future health of the city.
 Mills Hotel Needed.
 "A National association, more in- spectors for the board of health, Mills Hotel for men, are all greatly needed and are all means towards the perfect city,-which should be our highest aim."

SIGHS OF SPEED.

A sigh of the sped with which the railroad companies are trying to handle the freight situation was aptly demonstrated here this morning when a double header freight passed through the city. Both engines were running backwards, the trainmen ex- blaming that so great are the de- mands for speed that they do not have time to turn their freight en- zines around.

FINANCES AND MARKETS
I [Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

NEW YORK, Sept. 15-( Wall Street. The redeeming feature of today's market, quite apart from the wild and spectacular fluctuations of the pre- ceding day was the forward movement in high grade investment prices. Trad ing was once more on a gigantic scale, the total turnover of 1,270,000 shares making the tenth consecutive full ses sion in which dealings have run into seven figures. There were no signs at the outset of the irregularity and liquidation which caused such abrupt crumbling of quoted values in yester- lays final hour. but from time to time the more speculative shares manifested some susceptibility to pressure. In point of fact touay's final prices of leading rails and industrials were high CT than yesterday.
 Almost two score issues of various descriptions touched levels well over any of the year and some, notably Union Pacific, which made an extreme gain of 3la points to $1.46n. were at lneir maXmum prices since the war. Other potential leaders which rose ono to almost three points include South ern Pacific and Atchison.
 The rise in these stocks, 1t was said, have been a belated recognition of their strong position as indicated by the recent report of the interstate com merce commission.
 rnmness was Jhe only feature of the bond market on moderate expan- sion of business. Total sales par value, S3,170,000.
 U. .. bonds were unchanged on call.

"Givino the People a Chance"

We see that another joke has been perpetrated Tally another cold blooded murderer has been re- prieved for three months, ito give the people chance" say whether they want him and other cold -blooded murderers to be hanged This farce been going for five years score Of inurderers have been atened and feed in the state prison reprieved from time time in order that the people might have opportunity to say whether capital punishment should be maintained Two years ago the people spoke twice and unmistakably They declared that they wanted capital punishment They went farther than that They took from the governor the power of reprieve, pardon and parole which he had so grossly abused
 They believed then the three year farce was at an end But it was not; the slightest preext served for the granting of reprieves Even Villa the murderer was not without greater influence than our laws. More than a year elapsed after the organization of the board before the first hanging took place though the prison was filled with waiting murderers.
 Then three friendess Mexicans hanged. Of course they deserved it. but they would not have received if they had been of lighter color if they had had friends with modicum of influence
 We are not arguing in favor of capital punish ment We would favor anticaptal punishment law proposed that would insure life imprisonment for those under such sentence. But that is not yet the law and il may not become the law Tally, who has been reprieved until such law may be passed rejected. has more right to the benefit of such a law than Chavez Perez and Rod riguez whose bones mouldering.
 We imagine the people have grown tired of being given these chances to reverse themselves It is such chances that doing more to defeat anti capital punishment legislation than all the arguments that have been made, could be made, against capital punishment We have not the slightest doubt if Governor Hunt the beginning of his term of office had permitted the law to take its anticaptal punishment bill would have been passed by the people years Certainly if he had not interfered with the law, the people would not have placed such humiliating restriction upon his
 If November, the pending anti-captal pun ishment should fail it's failure may be traced in measure to the repreve granted murderer Tally by the board of pardons and paroles.

BoWinq to the IS Per Cent

We observe with pleasure that the democratic papers of Arizona which have been assailing Cover Hunt with almost unprecedented and, as we sometimes thought with unreasonable bitterness throughout the primary campaign of a forgiving spirit They cherish bitterness now. They are evidently getting ready to urge his election. They preparing to say that they will bow to the will cent of the members of the party.
 Some weeks ago The Republican took the ground that the contest supposed be within democratic party, not factonal democratic row; that no democratic principles involved that it was a contest between what has be called Huntism and anti -Huntism. This view of the was appar- ently endorsed by of the democratic papers They reproduced The Republicans remarks some of them with endorsing comment.
 Now suspect they about to regard the governor no longer a menace to good government since IS of the democrats, that s of demo- crats socialists and miners federation members have declared in his favor while only about twelve per cent have declared against him. No attempt will be made to ascertain the views of the TO per who evidently did not regard the which them to be only fracas between Huntsm and anti Huntism
 But let the kowtowing to the IS per cent proceed. However suspect that the 70 per cent do care whether the democratic newspapers kowtow The 70 per cent win not regard their genufexon as

A Confusion of Expression

Senator Stapley is returned to his seat in the senate, having boiled 2527 votes while the junior member from Maricopa will be H. A. Davis who received 2s97 votes to Beves 2452.
 The foregoing quotation is from the news columns of this paper. We have ascertaned that the writer in the hurry of preparation of copy his head still ring general election. The democratic primary had been attended by much uproar while the republican primary quiet and devoid of contest that might naturally the throes of a busy night make such error of expression.
 The fact is that the gentlemen mentioned. not the senior and the junior members of the and they will be unless each of them receives twice many he secured at the primary, after heart breaking canvass of the county. We do not believe that either of them possibly double his And we believe that the republican candidates, Messrs Wilkinson and Hall will be elected.
 There is still another thing. We do not believe in the present circumstances that 1t would be possible to elect both Mir Stapley and Mir. Davis. They stitute an Unmatched team.
 We may assume that both the democratic cand- dates mustered about all the strength they could. There are more than 5000 republican already registered say nothing of those still register There are about 400 republicans who registered as democrats to take part in the democratic guberna- fewer than 5000 republicans who will have a compelling voice in designating the senior and junior senators from this county.

the negro had just passed onto the bridge when an automobile travelling south crowded them against the railing and accidentally a stick was knocked rom his hand. The negro shouted, Why didn't you run over us?" but as the car apparently continued on, the two proceeded on their way. Un- known to them until afterwards. the car turned into First street and stopped An occupant alighted and running back to the approach took a shot at the negro. The bullet struck a shoulder blade and passed out under the arm tearing a mean hole of several inches in the flesh. By the time the men realized what had happened the miscreant had boarded the car, and though the auto was seen by several parties as it passed on through town, no one has been able to identify it, nor was is possible to ascertain who any of the occupants were.

IS HIGH RANK IN COLLEGE WORTH w4lLeY

But why strive for high rank in college? Why wait for the more practical studies of the pro- fessional Hundreds of boys the country over declare today that 1t makes little difference whether they win high grades merely passabe grades in the liberal arts since these have definite bear ing their intended fe-work. Almost invariably they ready to admit that they must settle down serious effort in the studies of law medicine gineerngtha is to say, in professional schools Even the sport who makes the grade of mediocrity his highest aim a college undergraduate fully intends to strive for high scholarship in his professional studies. Does he often attain that aim? That is the question.
 And that fortunately is a question we may with more than opinions. We may take for example, all the, students who graduated from Har- yard College during period of twelve years and entered the Harvard Medical School Of the 239 who received distinction undergraduates 36 per graduated with honor from the Medical School Of the il who received degrees of A. with high honor. than 92 per cent took their medical degrees with honor.
 Still conclusive are the records of the grad uates of Harvard College who during period of twenty years entered the Harvard Law School Of those who graduated from college with no special honor only 6h per cent attained distinction in the Law School Of those who graduated with honor from the college. 22 cent attained distinction in the Law School of those who graduated with great honor. 40 cent; of those who graduated with highest honor 60 per cent Sxy per cent! Bear that figure in mind a moment, while consider the $40 who entered college with condtons'-that is to say. without having passed all their examinations graduated from college with plain degrees. Of these men. not per cent honor degrees in law.
 If college undergraduate is ready to be honest with himself he must say, If I content with mediocre work in college it is likely that the in my class who graduate with honor will have three times my chances of success in the Law School and the men who graduate in my class with highest honor will have nearly ten times my chances of success" So difficult is it for student to change his habits of life after the crucial years of college that not man in twenty years-not in twenty years who satisfied in Harvard College with grades of "C and lower gained distinction in the studies of the Harvard Law School
 Apparently the good fellow" in college, the sport who does not let his studies interfere with his educa ton, but who intends to settle down to hard work
 later on, and who later actually does completely change his habits of life, is almost myth At least his record does not among those of thousands of students whose careers have been investigated under the direction of President Lowell and others It seems that results legal tender but cannot cash in good intentions-Pr William T.

DUN'S REVIEW

NEW YORK, Sept lo.-Dun's Re view tomorrow will say:
 Tn nearly all important industrial and mercantile lines the trend is to- ward further increase in activity and is exceptionally marked in some directions. Manufacturing plants are being operated to their capacity. the shortage in the supply of labor being practically the only detriment to ad- dItional expansion.
 The demand for fall merchandise is encouragingly brisk and the general business sentiment is optimistic In the central states the movement of commodities continues well sustained In the south the inquiry for staple sOods is increasingly active while wes- tern commercial centers report sub stantial increases in business over last year. On the Pacific coast the favor able crop prospects in that region to- ;ether with the generally high prices or agricultural products are indicative of still further progress.
