Vice-President Byrnes and 0th-
er Speakers Tell liorwaik

Business Ion What Presi-
dent lieiien lies Accomplish-
ed in the Way of Transpor-
lotion

For straightforward, man to man
talks, no event the Norwalk Business
Men's Association has ever held
equalled last night's ninth annual ban-
quet, held at the Norwalk Hotel.

Every speech, and there were sev’
eral ofdecided importance, was time
1y, to the minute, from the railroad
transportation situation in Connecti-
cut by Vice President T. E. Byrnes.
0'! the New York, New Haven and
Hartford Railroad Comrlany, to very
latest developments at the Panama
Canal by Congressman E. J. Hill, who
returned only a few‘days ago from
the isthmus.

'i‘he speechmakers were listened to
by a responsive audience, whose aim-
Was only limited by the‘mtpncily of
he hotel. The menu. which preceded
be addresses. was excellent, and put
he banquefers in just the right frame

1 mind for the intellectual feast
hich awaited them.

General Manager Samuel Higgins.
of the‘ New York, New Haven and
Hartford Railroad Company, was the
first speaker of the evening. lie was
Introduced by Toastmaster Arthur C.
Wheeler, who heartily welcomed the
guests of the evening and mentioned
the fact that the present fine assemb-
lage was a fitting answer to those
who had said that a postponed dinner
Would not be a success.

Mr. Higgins remarked that he did
not feel in the least like a stranger.
It seemed to him like coming back
to see old friends, for he went to
school in Norwalk. Mr. Higgins at-
tended thc old Selleck Academy in
East‘avenus. It wasp great source
of pleasure, be said, to come back to
.Norwallt, and that he takes a person-
til interest in the lace. As far as his
influence worst, f_,Norwalk wanted
anything, he,declar it she would get
it. Speakingl‘about». at railroad con-
ditions. lie-said that he was pleased
when told that the‘sfatton is in bet-
ter condition than lthas been for a
long time past. ”continued in part:

“The New . given roada though an
old 0 . is' go 'ng through diaperiod of,
recons ructiori.‘ Give us. time loud we
will have a pond that is. second to
none. The service is not yet what We
want or propose to have.

"People along the line find fault.
but do not. tell us their troubles. We
cannot correct themunlcss you tell
about them. We are always ready to
receive complaints and will do our
best to correct them."

‘ Before Vice President Byrnes open-
ed his remarks. Town Clerk Herbert
R. Smith, whose reputation as a hu-
morist is on the rise by bounds, caus-
ed no end of mirth with a tale of the
various phases of the “lemon" subject.
Mr,'Smitb proved that the lemon or-
iginated in the Garden of Edm, and
was another instance of the. truth of
the remarks that there is nothing new
under the sun.

Vice President Byrnes captured his
hearers from the very outset of his
address by his frank manner. Mr.
llyrncs is a man of commanding pres-
ence and speaks in a manner that car-
rics conviction with it. His address
last. night alone would stamp him an
orator of no mean power. When he
had concluded applause resounded
through the banquet room for several
minutcs.

Mr. Ilyrnes opened his remarks in
an evidently characteristically face~
tious manner and told of how he en-
tered the railroad brrsiness in Ver-
mont, where his father was superinv
tendent of "a great trunk line" eight-
een miles in length. The topic of
Mr. Byrnes‘ speech was “Transporta-
tion," and he handled it in a manner
that‘gave his hearers an insight into
the aims and ambitions of his road.

In getting down to the main theme.
Mr. Byrnes drew attention to the
more than 130 ‘ erent roads which
are combined in e present great
corporation. This bination of in«
terests, he declared, ad some disad-
vantages, despite its great ndvarr
tages. One of the disadvantages was
the taking away from ‘ibe business of
the neighborhood spirit.

went out and settled local questions

March 28, via New Orleans, April 3.—-—,
The intentions of the United States in
landing marines on the Honduras
coast and the evident latitude granted
them in protecting foreign life and
property is exciting much comment
here. it has been remarked as so,
pecially significant that the American
landing parties, not. only here, but at
Ceiba and 'l‘rupillo, have in each in
stance placed a Hotchkiss gun which
they took ashore with them so as to
sweep the seaward approach.

The foreigners believe that this
means the United States will not per-
mit the port to be bombarded. inas-
much as 90 per cent. of the' houses

ed that in these two ports, Nicaraguan,

kiss guns. while at Trujillo, despite the
fact that it is a Honduran port, the
Honduran gunboat will not be allowed
to bombard in any attempt to recap-r
lure the port, from the Nicaraguans.
Both countries are treated impartiallyi
in this respect. Although the powers

The fear, however, that such ca‘.»

the coast towns where Americans are
stationed, by the experience of Trail!-

have conducted thmselves in an exem-
plary manner.

The reports of conditions at captur-
ed interior towns are not so satisfac-

At Puerto Cortes the dozen marines
comprising the landing party are quar-

Common Council Remains III C.
0. P. Column by a Large
Majority. Although the Dem-
ocrats Made Some Cains

HARTFORD. April 3,—Hartford
went Republican by about 1,000 ma-
jority and voted in favor of license
in the annual election yesterday. Al-
though slight gains by the Democrats
were recorded in the common council,
that body is still Republican by a
large majority. Voting machines were
used and the result of the election
was known within an hour after the
closing of the polls. Good weather
prevailed, but only a small vote was
polled. in addition to the voting on‘
candidates for the offices of select-
men, assessors, constables. grand jur-
ors, high school committee, school vis-
itors and ward tickets, four questions
were before the citizens:

To determine whether any persons
shall be licensed to sell intoxicating
liquors in the town: the consolidation
of all school districts with the city
and the bringing of the schools under
a central control. and two proposed
locul appropriations. one of $98,000
for the Homestead uvonuc intercept-
ing sewer system and the other of
$31,500 for Church street extensiofl.

The vote on the license question
was 3.642 for and 1,362 against. The
school consolidation was rejected by
2,481 to 1.852. Both of the proposed
appropriations were approved.

The Republicans elected three out
of the five selecimcn. two out of the
three assessors. four out of the seven
constables, three out of the five high
school committeemen, and two out of
the three school visitors. Republicans
and Democrats elected three grand
jurors each.

An interesting contest developed
between James T. Farrell and Michael
J. Hafey. candidates for assessora'ou
the Democratic ticket. which was de-
cided in favor of llafey by 152 major-
ity. Farrell has held the cities 'for
some time and was a candidaio‘ii'or
rc-electlon.

damage estimated at $50,000 and a, dc.
lay of thirty days i nthe completion of
the work on the huge terminal build~
lugs will result. Five men were injur-
ed during the progress of the “why
being caught in one of the deep cais-
sons, two of them so severely that it
was necessary to take them to a hos-
pital. Those severely injured are John
O'Hara and Edward Murphy, both fun-
nel workers.

The fire started on a high wooden
structure used to support a hoisting en-
gine. By the time the firemen arrived
the shower of sparks from the burn-
lngboilur- house had set fire to a do-
zen other boiler houses and similar
structures in the excavation. These to
gethcr with several big derricks were
badly damaged, and the temporary
wooden flooring over the surface of
boy street. covering the excavation
was ruined.

There were many thrilling rescues
and several instances personal bravery
during the fire. Deep down under the
lround in the 100 or more calssons
“ditch are being sunk for the founda-
tions of the big terminal buildings to
rest upon were between five and six
hundred men at. work. When it was
seen that there was danger of the fire
spreading to all the engine houses
south of Dey street shutting off the
algpply of air the pressure of which en-
n led the men to work under ground
and the withdrawal of which would
mean serious danger if not death in
many of the men, the danger signal

their posts, leaving the man eighty feet
beneath the surface of the ground to
their fate. The deserted hoists were
quickly unmanned by volunteers, how-
cver, and the new men stuck to their
posts with the flames roaring around
them until the. last-one of the tunnel
workers was brought up to safety,

STATE TRADE SCHOOL.

——

Congressman Hill Speaks—Says Tar-
lt‘i Will be Changed.

Congressman E. J. Hill addressed
the Educational,Committee at Hart-
ford yesterday for the second time
within a week in reference to the es-
tablishment of a trade school in Nor-
walk. He said that a substitute mea-
sure bad been received at Norwalk
from the secretary of the. state board
of education. which provides that the
town of Norwalk present free a suit-
able site for the school and also that
the appropriation be 875.000 instead
of $50,000 “as asked for. The word
"apparatus" was also inserted after
the words “tools and machinery.“
These alterations were agreeable to
the Norwalk people, and be assured
the committee that a good site would
be provided.

Congressman Till] then quoted from
a report which showed that a recent
examination for chemists to enforce
the pure food law under federal super-
vision only 40 out of 1400 who took
the examinations passed. Three‘of
these were from New York out 01‘ a
list of 359. He hoped this record
would never be duplicated in Courteo-
ticut and believed that a technical
school along manufacturing lines
should be started at once.

Congressman Hill stated that a rc~
vsiion of the tariff was coming, just
when We don‘t know. but it would be
downward, not upward, and it would
be a shame to American ideas. forty
years after the or. to have it go up
again. He contended that Connecticut
could spend money as freely as it
pleased, We. would never become a
great agricultural state, but as a hive
of industrial activity we must take
quick action to defend ourselves or
we would soon be forced to the roar.

late, rather vague. it is understood. He
has been asked for more detailed re-
ports, but has put it oil! with the excuse
that he has been too busy with batting,
the affairs of the Eagles and other
things. _‘

Finally some of the delegates to the
Central labor Union decided that. it
was time to get the report and that
they,should have it, so at a recent
meetrng they formally dcnranded a re
port, and Mr. Lambert promised to
have " a full and complete one at the
meeting to behold tomorrow,

.He then disappeared and no one
sums to know even in what direction
he went.
