NEW HAVEN REVENUE SHOWS
 GAIN IN MONTH OF JUNE

The total operating revenues of the New Haven railroad for June are esti- mated ar s9,s5O,Coo, compared with ss,So0,0Oo in May, says the Boston News Bureau. When the fact that June contained one day less than May is considered, it appears that June earn ings actually ran about 9.5 per cent larger than in May.
 June also shows the highest earnings since December last, which indicates that the usual seasonal improvement is in progress, although the volume is as yet considerably below normal. The i'm crease in June over May was principally due to heavier freight traffic. especially during the last half of the month. Net on-miles in June were 14.5 per cent. greater than in May and III per cent. larger than in April
 Passenger earnings in June also show ed improvement over those of May, be- ing approximately 4.5 per cent. larger. New Haven has the month of largest earnings head, July, August. September and October usually being peak months of the year. This year should prove no exceptions in fact. improvement might well be particularly marked in the fall months.
 Figures so far available for July m- dicate that gross will run about the same as in June, possibly 1 per cent. or ? per cent. higher. The benefit of the

MANY IRISH ALIENS

 Federal records show that this num- Der exceeds the total for any month in the past year. It makes the total for the year over 1,25e persons who are liable to taxation under the income tax law The total number of emigrants would far exceed this figure.

WITHHoLDs $5o.eoo CHECK
 FROM SToRRs COLLEGE

At the meeting of the board of con- trol In Hartford this week, Clifford [ Sooodaro, the treasurer of the Conpecti- cut Agricultural College, reported that the state treasurer had refused to turn over to the college a check of $50. GOO from the federal government which he had received for the purposes of the col lese. The money came out of the so. called Merrill fund.
 1Pasurer Gilpatric stated that it was the rule or his office not to pay out any money except on the order of the comp. troiler. He would regret any decision which would be an abrogation of that rule
 It was finally decided to refer the matter to the board of finance for rul- ing affecting the separation of the fed eral funds from the state appropriations for the college to meet an existing emer- gency.
 The board approved the schedules of salaireS prepared by the directors of the state prison, the trustees of the Conn ecticut Reformatory, and the School for Boys at Meriden for their respective institutions. The schedule at each in- stitution provides for a maximum salary and classification according to salar- iee
 Ths appointment of Henry E. Bab- cock, former assistant postmaster of Hartford, to the position of adjutant at the Soldiers Home at Noroton at q sal- 4ry of s100 a month was approved. Ma Jor John H.

Where there was an increase Tx salary the approval of the board of con trcl would be necessary. The fish and game commission was authorized to print 50.ooo copies of fish and game laws in pamphlet form and the application of the tax commissioner for authority to print 25,ooo copies of the act imposing tax on admission tickets to theaters at an expense Of $126 was granted.

 It was brought out in the discussion that Deputy Comptroller Wilkins was
