Kiley and former Representative I}. I’. Mclnernoy, Ibo oillccrs who conduct- ed the Bartlett convention. A messenger from the stale Republi- cnu committee brought the papers from that body. Immediately after the filing of the two Dcmocrdtic tickets, Secrctur Olin notified the ballot law comuliss on of the situation and It is expected that the members of the commission will arrange at once for a hearing on the contest. The leaders of both linrllcil, and Whitney factions of the Democratic party moi early today to draw up plans for future action.

I asked him not to take such action until he could com- municate with his father, but he re- plied: ‘My father is neither my man ter nor-my boas! 'He admitted that his father was paying his expenses, but persisted in following his own course. "Gomez roomed with Washington. Both young men had been at school together at Tuskegee and at Dummer Academy When Gomez entered a classroom the other day and Washing ., ton was absent the instructor in charge asked Coemz where Washing ion was. isl'actory and the instructor spoke sharply to him. Gomez took ofténse and so far as is known this was his only reason for leaving the school. “Before leaving both young men said they had no fault to find with the way they had been treated by the sta- dcnts. They were both given rooms first time that a colored student has lived in the dormitories." Principal Amen said that Washing- ton received tbe same disciplinary treatment that would be given to any student who violated the school regu- lations regarding absentees tironr school exercises. it is understood that Booker T Washington, father of the student, has approved of the action taken by the school authorities in regard to his son. NEW ENGLAND “BUFFRAGE LEA. GUE. Fourth Avenue Session Held in Hart- ford Teddy. HARTFORD, Oct. 7.-Splrlted ud- dresses on race rights were made it» day at the fourth annual session of the New England Suffrage I.eague, which is holding day/and evening sessions at Unity Hull. The Brownsville affair was frequently alluded to and the framinz of a bill for presentation to the in- coming Congress, asking that the non- commlssione dodlcers and enlisted men discharged iromlhe 25th Regiment colored, shall be eligible to enlistment In the naval or military forces of the United States with the some standing, lights and privileges to which they were respectively entitled to at the time of their discharge, will be autho- rized by the league. In his oplnlng address President \‘.‘li~ liam Monroe Trotter of Boston, uniting other things, said. “While in the thick of the fight for the protection of equal rights in Man- sachusetts, there come like a bolt from the blue. the most brutal blow ever struck the colored soldier and the most dangerous to the liberties of the colored citizen since freedom—the ox- ecutlve order discharging Without Io- nor and with permanent military and civil disbarmcut lli'l colored soldiers— nn not thus damning all the colored members of three- companies of the famous 25th Infantry without trial by courtmmtial by a Republican presl dent Theodore Roosevelt. in the struggle to undo Ibis cruel wrong. to the "Black Battalion, " which carried danger to free institutions. your league has borne a loading and honorable purl.

This Is an important change from the old law, under which the town paid the bills and in Domain-l ber received from the stale its share of the expense incurred that year. Under the new law the proportion of expense borne by the state, in the case of towns having a grand list of in smaller towns seven-eighth Under the law of 1905 the proporticn of ex pause borne by the state,i the case of towns having a grand lat of ovot $1, 000, 000 was twcthi‘rds and in small or towns three-fourths. The amount that can be expended in tiny town under the new law in, one year ls.$lo,000. This, howeVer, includes amounts expended in the repair of highways built either heretofore or hereafter, under the law providing for state aid. The amount which could have been expended per year under the old law was limited to $4. 500. A new provision in the law requires the highway commissioner to keep in rspah all roads constructed under the statutes relating to good roads and constructed with state aid. The old law required the several towns to do this. The town must reimburse the state to the extent of one-fourth for all such repairs. The amount which can be expended for such repairs by the state in any one year, in addition to the moneys received from the towns for repairs of such roads, is, however, limited to $25,000. The appropriation made for the im- provement of public roads made by the last general assembly was $4,500,000, to be expended at the rate of $760,000 per year during the six fiscal years ending September 30, 1913. The on- propriation made in 1905 for the im- movement of public roads for the two years ending' September 30, 1907, was $450,000, that is, at the rate of $229, 500 per year. . The new statute leaves the law of 1905 in force as to “all roads or parts thereof now being constructed and which are to be constructed under any appropriation heretofore made " ' WEST NORWALK. The Christian Endeavor Society hold services in the Union Chapel, Fri- day evenlng. after which refreshments were served.
