CONSIDER NEW BASIS
 FOR TROLLEY FARES

New Haven, Conn.,, June 21-Ad- juStment of wages under the advanc- ed scale accepted by motormen and conductors of the Connecticut Co.,, which are retroactive to June 1, when the old agreement expired, are being figured out by the paymaster's depart ment of the company. It is under stood that in the conferences the em- p1oyes offered serious objection to the continuance of the zone system of fares, and the men understand that a new basis of fares is being consid- cred. One of the chief propositions is to abolish the zone fares and make a fiat rate of seven cents for three miles or fraction thereof with collec- tions to be made by conductors as was the case with the five cent fare. The increase to the passenger will be slight or about the equivalent of one cent on the present basis of three zones for six cents when zone card is used.
 Some time may elapse before any plan for increase to meet the added operating expense may be evolved or announced.

The six men caught under it were Arthur Morse of East Haddam, the driver, who may be internally hurt; Phil Johnson and Louis Capparello, of Chester; Matty Echo and John Ely of Shailorville, and the sixth name unknown.

HUGHES INvEICHS AGAINST TYRANNY Tendency To Enact Uncer- tain Laws Is In
 creasing.

Cambridge, Mass, June 21- Charles B. Hughes, speaking at the centenary of Harvard Law School today noted a tendency to revert to methods tyranny in our government and to disregard the essentials of lib- erty.
 'AThe tendency to enact uncertain said, "and what is worse the people tolerate it and there are but faint demands for improvement.
 "Disregarding the lessons of his tory there has been a disposition tf revert to the methods in tyranny to meet problems of democracy. In- tent on some imm ediate exigency and with slight consideration of larger issues, we create autocratic power by giving administrative officials who can threaten indictment the oppor- tunities of criminal statutes without any appropriate definition of crime.
 We went to war for liberty and democracy with the result that we fed the autocratic --ppetite and through fiction permissible only be- cause the courts cannot know what everyone else knows. we have seen the war powers which, hIare essential to the preservation of the nation in time of war, exercised broadly after the military exigency has passed, and in conditions for which they were never intended, and we may well wonder in view of the precedents now estab- lished whether constitutional govern ment as heretofore maintained in this republic could survive another great war even victoriously waged.
 Apart from these conditions we cannot afford to ignore the indications that perhaps to an extent unparalleled in our history the essentials of lib- erty are being disregarded. Very re- gently information has been laid by responsible citizens at the bar of public opinion of tyranny. And in | the conduct of trials before the courts we find a growing tendency on the part of prosecutors to resort to grossly unfair practices

START INVESTIGATION
 OF BOARDING HOUSES

While no official complaint has been registered against the over crowded conditions of the numerous boarding and rooming houses in the various sections of the city Bridgeport citizens have been free in expressing themselves in regard to the matter. The main complaint is directed against the so-cal1ed hotels who are catering to the housing of Spanish laborerS who have been brought into this city to meet the demands of the manufacturers and their labor prob- lems.
 The South End of the city seems to be the worst hit in the housing of these foreigners. Two houses given centrally located on State street, one of them being in the backyard of the Seaside Club at the corner of State and Lafayette streets. According to information secured by The Times the inhabitants of one of the houses on State street is working a double shift on the beds in the rooms.
 The Sanitary squad of the Board of Health have recently been conducting Ia city wide investigation on housing conditions and will make their report to Health Officer Dr. William H. Coon sometime this week. Dr. Coon said this morning when told about the un- sanitary conditions existing in the above two mentioned places that he would start an investigation imme di- ately at the places and furnish the press with a report on the facts of the situation He expressed himself at loss as to just what remedy to
 apply if he found conditions as re- ported. These men must be quar- tered some place and even if the con ditions are proved as reported hous- ing facilities are not adequate in this city to better the conditions
 According to the report the Colum- bia Ora phophone Company plant seems to be the mecca for the em- ployment of most of the Spanish la borers. The foreigners themselves say that conditions are misrepresented and that as soon as they save enough money they will vaeate the city as rapidly as they came in.

Be- fore the order for his arrest was is- sued he was seen by newspaper man and declared that he had nothing to do with the parade. He denounced Bedding as a radical and an agita- tor'' but when police made an effort to locate him he had disappeared,
 they said
 Jonas, giving the newspaper men his version of the rioting, said he met Bedding, who poses as an Abyssinian, in New York several weeks ago and later introduced him to President Will
 son at Washington. Bedding, Jonas said, told him he had recently been in Abyssinia and when asked how he got there explained that he took an airship from Mexico.
 Jonas said he accompanied the ne- groes to Chicago two weeks ago to ask the Republican convention to in- corporate a plank in the party plat form providing for the resumption of the Abyssinian treaty with the United States, which expired in 1917. Since
 cirning here, he declared, he had de- nounced Bedding and other |fAbyssin- | ian princes to the federal auth critics
 as radicals, but without result. | The propaganda circulated among | Chicago negroes by the Princes Jo- | mas said was signed by Geo. Gabriel,
 Abyssinian Hnguist," and Bedding. It
 named addresses in Washing gton and
 New York as the offices of the organ
 ization. Bedding, Jonas said, worked i through the Universal Negro Inn
 provement Association, and the Black i Star Line Steamship Company, a negro organization which owns one
 steamer.
