FREIGHT RATES BOOSTED.
Up, They Go On Cargoes South of
 ".' '-. New York.

Manufacturers and shippers of merchandise throughout the New England states, are somewhat dis pleased at the recent announcement of an increase in freight rates south of New York, which will amount to from forty cents to one dollar a ton.
 When the matter was first an- nounced several months ago, repre- sentatives of various Chambers Of Commerce throughout the affected area, arranged to meet in Boston Tn December, and discuss a formal pro- test to be entered against what they felt was a discrimination against shippers in this section of the coun- try. Secretary Andrews of the local Chamber attended the meeting, and it was the feeling of the various del- egates that the protest would meet with favorable action by the rail- roads, but it seems that there efforts went for naught It is likely, how ever, that further action may be taken on the matter at an early date.
 Representative from Mer1den, Kensington and this city, will hold another meeting tomorrow afternoon in the local Chamber rooms on the proposed storage trolley line through Kensington to Meriden. The project so far has met with much favorable comment from residents of the thrce places interested and some definite plans toward commencing the build ing of the road may be taken at this time.
 The committee on the Fourth of July pageant will meet tomorrow af- ternoon at o'clock and further plans for the affair will be made.
 IoJI meeting this afternoon and made ar engagements for meeting of the di- rectors to be held in a few days.
 As yet nothing definite has been done in regard to choosing a success sor to F. w. Christ as president of the Chambe F. G. P1att, one of the committee, has been i'll for several weeks and this has hampered the committee in it's work.

Riley Indignant.

Albany, Jan. 4.-John B. Riley, State Superintendent of Prisons, was indignant yesterday when he read statements purporting to come from Dean Kirchwey, the new warden of Sing Sing prison that he was merely the temporary occupant of a position which MT.

 As soon as Supt. Riley read this he had a talk by telephone with Den Kirchwey. The Superintendent said later that Dean Kirchwey insisted he had been misquoted and misrepresent

Break Your Match in Two.
(Waterbury Democrat.)

There haven't been so many forest in the forestry service say that one of the principal reasons is the new hint that heads a list of ten anti-fire rules sent out from Washington last summer The rule is simply this: Break your match in two before you throw it away" It may sound ab- surb. But if you've never tried it, suppose you do so. You'll find that you can't break that match in two without burning your finger unless you've first blown it out and held it for a moment for the glowing end to cool Thousands of hunters and campers in all the national forests caught up that rule because it struck their fancy and was perfectly simple and easy. Most fires in the woods have probably been caused by light ed matches thrown away by careless smokers Those broken matches don't start any fires It may occur to the reader, however, that there are far more people throwing away lighted matches in homes and offices and public places than there are in forests And most city fires come from that very cause. If the simple forestry rule were applied every where, and every time he lighted his cigar or pipe or cigarette, and every woman would break hers every time she lighted the gas, there would be a different tale to tell in the year fire statistics.

Stunts in Logic.
Louisville Courier-Journal.)

The hungry Republicans, who arc hoping that there may be another . round of rations for them in the tar i as an issue, are doing some divert ing vaudeville stunts in their efforts to make it an issue.
 They are cociferating that the democrats are forced to seek new sources of revenue because of dim finished customs receipts under the Underwood tariff, and they scoff at the contention of the democrats that any diminution of the customs re- cepits is due, not to the Underwood ta: iff but to the European war, which decreased the number and volume of imports.
 That is all bosh say our repubIi- can vaudevillians, put forth by a. party which can make no other de- fence of it's tariff revision. Reduced revenues are due not to a decrease of imports attributable to the war, but to the decreased customs duties on imports. The remedy, they in- sist, is plain; restore the old high rates of the Dingleys and Paynes.
 And yet these same logicianS. in urging from another angle the neces- sity of restoring the old rates, sound the loud alarm that the termination of the war will remove the bars and Europe will dump on us an avalanche of cheap products against which we can protect ourselves only by a pro- hibitive tariff!
 Tn short. one day in arguing for a high tariff they deny that reduced revenues during the war are due to reduced imports caused by the war ' and on the next day in arguing for a high tariff they insist that the close of the war will flood us with increased imports! r.,
 The republicans always were amus- ing whenever they attempted to bol- ster their theory of a high tariff on any other prop than the swag that is in it.

NEW INDICTMENT
 AGAINST OSBORNE
Prosecutor Has More Evidence to
 Strengthen Case

Ossining, N. Y, Jan. 5.-District At torney Weeks expects to prosecute Thomas Mott Osborne on a supersed- ing indictment charging mismanage- ment stronger even than the indict- ment of six counts which the Vest chester county Grand Jury voted last Tuesday. MT. Weeks expects to bring MT. Osborne to trial within a month.
 The District Attorney refused to di- vulge the nature of the new evidence he has gathered, which he believes will persuade the Grand Jury to vote a stronger indictment soon after it reassembles a week from tomorrow, but it is said that it involves the war den personally, and will apply to the sixth count, of the mismanagement indictment, which charged immoral ity.
 Unable To Plead.
 It was because of this new evidence that MT. Osborne was unable to plead to the original indictments which he went to White Plains yesterday from Auburn to do. For the same reason 1SOTSe GOTQOn baIlle was uouloQ dC- cess to the Grand Jury minutes to prepare a defense and so MT. Osborne went to Sing Sing to talk to his friend, Warden Kirchwey.
 There is a possibility that MT. Os- borne's visit to the prison may have stirred up more trouble for him as Superintendent of Prisons Riley as- sured MT. Weeks that the former war 1ar nt ho al t, +o "a prison. Dean Kirchwey said, how ever, that he had received no such or der from Supt. Riley.
 Lunches With New Warden.
 MT. Osborne had lunch with Dean Kirchwey and was consulted by the new warden in regard to several mat ters of prison policy. Dean Kirchwey said afterward that he would consult MT. Osborne frequently in such mat ters.
 There was an effectionate greeting between MT. Osborne and Tough Tony'' Mareno. his valet, who disap peared on Saturday night and re- turned last night, having been per- suaded by ex-convicts that it was not fair to MT. Osborne to run away. MT. Osborne put his arm around TOny's neck and the two sat and talked for a half hour in a corner of the war den's office.
 A little later Dean KirchWey and Principal Keeper Dorner decided that Tony must serve two years and two months more than his regular term, which would have expired in two years and he transferred to the cell block and a prison workshop from his 011 inh in ha his escape.
 MT. Osborne before departing for New York, whence he will return to Auburn, seemed not at all discon certed at the predicted stronger in dictment ''TheY'n be indicting me for murder next" he remarked casu- oJ1
