' CONDUCTING OF PARKER Professor Apparently Pleased at Results Orchestra Does Pine Work. Fortunate Indeed Is the community among whose people differences in years, social status, prosperity and, oc cupation are swept away by one great and common desire to give united ut terance Inong to the primeval feelings ! In the Heart of mankind that must lorevgjf He beyond the limits of any othft medium of expression. he New Haven Oratorio society ve a concert before a full house at Voolsey hall last night that will live ng In the memory of those fortunate jnoug-h to be present. : Never before has the society done sq well there was volume, spirit, tender ness, good Judgment and artistic ftn sh to satisfy the most exacting;.. The Joloist sing some numbers bettej- than . others, but nevertheless the Average was very high. J The orchestra was sympatKptir. in an unusual degree and adde'greatly to t fljJ.atie1)Vitormance. In the oWfure the bigness and steadiness of .the violins was a very prominent fea ture and the background furnished by the organ was positively inspiring, i The tenor, Daniel Beddoe, sang his numbers more uniformly good' than did any of the others. His voice was clear cut, very good in quality and al ways under perfect control. It Is doubtful If a more satisfactory tenor has appeared In New Haven within the last ten years. Miss Edith Castle, the alto, did not reach her " artistic equilibrium until her third number, "Shall We Feed His Flock?" but that she sang in an entrancingly beautiful way. It was probably the finest gem of the con cert. ' In her first two numbers she seem ed to be trying to fathom the various elements of the song with her Intellect Instead of trusting herself with bird like confidence to her feelings, and the , result was not a happy one. Miss Marie Stoddard carried the aud- Jnnee with storm dfrom the beginning with her splendid voice and artistic temperament, but Unfortunately, she failed to rise to her former heights Just where she should have surpassed all jvevlous records. "I Know that My ' Redeemer Wveth" lacked the vital fer. .'Vor and Intensity which we have found In It of old. Mr. Tom Daniel, the bass singer, fill f a his place in a highly satisfactory maAner. , Professor Parker, the' man who has done so much for New Haven, and, in ded, for the whole world, conducted the performance in an extremely able manner, and at the end of the concert i I saw a genial smile light up his face--s no doubt he was pleased, so were we, very pleased and very proud proud of Professor Parker and the Oratorio so ciety proud of the artistic level at. ana we are proua it nas tawen yearn 'N) reach tnat level, oecause mat shows determination to succeed in a 'constantly Increasing measure, j it. shows vfhat the members are full ' of faith, hope and "get there." that they constitute the yeaBt, the ferment. that will raise every true New Havener above the station where first planted. , . ; . - .

SENSATIONAL EVIDENCE Kuropatkin Declnres Early Assault Would Have Been Successful. , St. Petersburg, Dec. 12. General Kuropatkln's testimony at the trial of Lieutenant-General Stoessel and other army officers charged with needlessly surrendering Port Arthur to the Jap anese made a sensation. He declared that the Japanese could have taken Port Arthur by assault In the early days of the war. The defenses were then so Incomplete, General Kuropat kin said, that the fortress must hiwe fallen at the first Vigorous attack. But the slowness of the Japanese and the resistance made by the army in the field gave the Russians time to impro- ' vise defense works which had with stood the Japanese for months. Gen eral Kuropatkln's evidence was favor able to General Stoessel. STATE SENATE CELEBRATES 1907 Body Forms Permanent Organ izationThompson Treasurer. Hartford, Dec. 12. Twenty-seven members of the state senate of 1907 met ftt the Elm Tree Inn at Farmington this afternoon and evening for a re union and general good time. A per manent organisation was formed with the following ofllcers: ' President, Lieut-Governor Everett J. Lake ' of Hartford; vice-presidents, Stiles Judson of Stratford, Jeremiah Donovan of Norwalk, and William R. 'Brown of Bridgeport; secretary, Alton Farrel of Ansonia; treasurer, Clarence E. Thompson of West Haven. All the speeches Wfre of an informal character. NO 2-CENT FARE COMPROMISE. Raleigh, N. C, Dec. 13. Plans to compromise the railroad rate litigation are seemingly at an end for the present owing to the refusal of the Atlantic Coast Line, and some smaller lines, to agree to terms acceptable to the state And the Southern railway y WHITE .LABOR ONLY Experiment WJ1I be Made Without Ne groes in Alabama Construction. Washington, Dec. 12. Of far reach ing importance to Industrial workers in the south, and in the Pennsylvania mine and iron making fields was the action of the war department to'-day In awarding a contract for the con struction of two large dams in the Black Warrior river, Alabama, to the Pittsburg corporation known as the Dravo Contracting company, at their bid of $70,000. This corporation has. already done much river and haftfbr work for the government, buf it is now, with the knowledge oflhe war department, about to engage in an periment of great interest and import ance to the south In undertaking to carry out this last large project by the use of white labor exclusively. The basis for this decision is the fact that the contractors believe they can at the present time easily secure the necessary, "amount of high grade white labor Pennsylvania and adjacent manufacturing states as a result of they existing Industrial depression. The object of the dams Is to open to slack 'water navigation the Black Warrior river giving access to the great coal fields that are expected to supply the large quantity of fuel requirod for the shipping that will frequent the Pana ma canal. " . CONFISCATORY RATE 1 " Pennsylvania Shows Greatly Decreased Earnings from Two -Cent Fare. Philadelphia, Dec. 12 Referring to the operation of the two cent rate law passed by the Pennsylvania legislature the following , statement has been is sued by the passenger department of the Pennsylvania Railroad company: 1 "An analysis of the passenger earn ings of the Pennsylvania railroad for October, the first month of the opera tion of the two cent fare law shows tnat the new law has caused a large decrease In gross revenue and a still greater decrease in net earnings of the lines of the company within the state of Pennsylvania. "In October, 1907, lines in Pennsyl vania show a decrease of $64,000 while the lines In the Pennsylvania system outside of Pennsylvania show an In crease 6f 8 per cent., this same per centage of increase, applied to state lines, would show an Increase of $140, 000 instead of a' decrease of $61,000 as above. "This decrease in revenue is abso lute and has not been offset in any manner by increased travel stlfulated by the reduction In the rate per mile. "The figures stated cover the loss In gross earnings only. The decrease In net revenue, however, has been still greater on account of the Increased cost of operation due to advances fln wages and cost of maintenance." ' , ARE UP A TREE . Hamden School Committee Does Not Know Wliat to Do With Culprit. One of the members of the Hamden school Committee stated last night that the members individually are up a, tree In regard to what action shall b tak en In the case of the young boy who blew up the. woodshed at the Shep herd's Brook public school day before yesterday. The boy 1b so young that criminal proceedings cannot be Insti tuted. The culprit, who has confessed the misdemeanor, says he picked up the cartridge on the way to school, and ex ploded It in the shed. The shed was blown to pieces. ALDERMEN HOLD JlllAL FEAST (Continued from First Page.) harmony and a peaceful gathering -together. At that first gathering I attended tha expenditures of the city, I remem ber, were about half a million, while this past year has been over two mil lions. ; One tiling, you will all go out at the end of this year in consciousness that no one can say there has been anything dishonsst in the government of the city during the past year. Next year there .will be a new ad ministration, and I think It will be much like this only a little better.. Each administration as we go on should be better. The cut will be completed and the tearing up of the streets will be less. The streets should be in better condition than In years next year. President Johnson was next called upon and said: "Some of us are going out of the board, but I think it is up to us not to go out with the idea that we are through with the city govern ment. We should continue to be in terested in each successive board. It has been one of the most pleasant ex periences of my life to be a member of the board. I have gained a great deal of experience and formed a great many of the best acquaintances. "I shall take away with me a les son I shall never in all my life forget, acquaintanceships which will never be forgotten. I thank you gentlemen for all your courtesies to me." Alderman Loos was called upon next. He invited the entire board to be his guests at a house warming party at his new home on Canner street next Thursday evening. Contin uing, he spoke on the subject of car fenders, and told of his experience at the hearing Tuesday. "I do not blame the railroad company for not accept ing some of the fenders in use about the country. Of the forty-five varie ties shown at the hearing not one would fill the bill as to what the com pany wanted, and I confess that there is none I would like to see used. "I do not consider the fender ques tion settled. It will not be settled until we get better fenders." A few other Informal talks were .made. DIFFER AS TO CURRENCY SYSTEM (Continued from First Page.) the thing loose. God only knows what will come. I think we would better stick to what we've got. "The present currency Is bad; it Is unscientific; it is not connected with ppjcie; there Is' no true basis for it; it is the greatest conceivable foolishness. Some- day we may get ready for some grSnd reform, but until we do, let us hang on to what we have." The foundations of a currency sys tem which would work were suggested by the three speakers. Mr. Morawett suggested a system of a na tional clearing house which would guarantee the bank notes issued and disconnect the currency system so far as possible from the national govern ment. Prof. Emery's solution of the dif ficulty was the deposit of the govern ment money in the national banks. The whole of the money was to be de posited and the amount to each bank limited by the amount of capital stock of the bank. Professor Emery and Mr. Morawetss both said that politically it was Im possible to establish a United States bank in this country, but Mr. Conant, in his solution of the difficulty, chose this method. He maintained that It was possible to establish a national bank in this country, while Mr. Morawetz had said that, no matter how honest and ca pable the men placed In charge of a government bank were, 'the people would Booner or later think that they were working for personal ends or for the good of some particular part of the country. He cited the bapks of England, France and Germany as examples of successful national banks, and spoke of the slight shifting of interest on call money In those lands. He said that the United States was behind al most every other civilized country In its currency system. What had been witnessed during the past Blx weeks was really equivalent to the suspen sion of gold payments. It was not the fault of any individual banker un der -existing conditions, but was their fault in so far as they had not aided In the creation of a sound currency system. A crisis could not be pre vented altogether by a better currency system, but the shock could be allevi ated and normal conditions could be restored without the degree of panic and disfrust which had prevailed dur ing the present crisis. If we had had a central bank with proper powers, or a system of note Issues giving broader powers to the existing banks to meet such an emergency it Would not have been necessary to suspend currency payments. The advantage of a central bank was, Mr. Conant said, that , It was in a position to meet all lha temporary needs of an emergency by pe-dlscount-ing for other banks as Instanced in this respect, the Bank of France and the Bank of Germany. Such an Institution has the power, to adapt the rate of discount tir'the re quirements of the situation in such a way as to check the- outflow of gold, bringing in' gold when It was needed, putting a brake on speculation," and generally safeguarding the general commercial Interests of the country In this country there was no such cen tral authority except the clearing house committee, which could only act in great emergencies. $n other words; the German system prevented panics, In stead of staying them after they had begun. The proposal for a central bank, the speaker "thought, was not necessarily hostile to an increase In the powers of the existing national banks to aid tlte community during the crop moving season and at other periods of stress by the issue of notes against general assets. Such i. system would not only permit expansion but it would compel retroaction when the need for circula tion was over, which was not the usual working of the existing system of bond secured Issues. It was doubtful If a central bank would be competent, at any rate for many years, to supply the entire circulation of the country, but it stood at the safety valve, like a trained engineer, it would be able to prevent unwise expansion by other banks and at the same time meet the need for expansion when it arose. Because of the fact that Col. N. G. Osborn, president of the Economic club, was ill with a severe cold, lAttorney Talcott H. Russell acted as toastmas ter and those who delivered addresses were: Dr. McLaln, Max Adier, Frank S. Butterworth, C. H. Harrlman, John W. Ailing, James Hlllhouse and Attor ney Frank Bishop. ,.,-. .. . LONDON ON THIRD TERM Newspapers Consider Roosevelt's Re Electlon Doubtful if Nominated. London, Dec. 12. President Roose velt's declaration that he would not stand for renominatlon is treated as a momentous matter In the columns of the London newspapers. The editorials for the large part consider that he has taken a wise decision, on the ground that although he Is the most striking personality in the political field at the -present moment the fact that he has alienated powerful sup porters by his anti-trust policy has made his re-election doubtful. They consider it unlikely that President Roosevelt's successor would pursue an anti-trust policy with such vigor. The chances of the next president of the United 'tates being a democrat also are canvassed, and the possibility of Mr, Roosevelt's again being a can didate in 1912. DIPHTHERIA HOLDS UP MAIL. Augusta Postoflice is Closed Through Breaking of Germ Case. Augusta, Me., Dec. 12. The Augus ta postoflice was closed early this aft ernoon until to-morrow and the de livery of mall matter was discontinued by order of the boaffd of health. A ma illng case containing a culture of a case of sore throat, possibly diph theria, addressed to the state labora tory, was broken In transit, and a dis infection of all mail matter was ordered. ASKS MELLEN TO ME IT CLEAR (Continued from First Page.) The present financial condition of the New York Central does not encourage it to go into the market as a purchaser of further railroad investments. Its local reputation, from its mismanage ment of the Albany properties, is such that public sentiment could be relied or to prevent, in the legislature, any merger which it might attempt to bring to pass. "The road Itself has hardly been sufficiently pleased with its New Eng land Investments to care to extend their scope. Moveover, the public utili ties commission of New Tork must be taken into account. Its powers, much larger than those of the Massachusetts railroad commission, enable it to exer cise close scrutiny over all further Is sues Of obligations, both as to rates and terms. The Now Tork Central as a bona fide purchaser Is thus hardly to be seriously considered. "The possibility of what the brokers call a "Wash sale" in this quarter should not, however, be overlooked. This might be done through i the agency of the American Express com pany. It was one of tne largest con tributors to the block of stock turned over to the New Haven, 'and would doubtless be able to protect the rest of these holdings, If desired, as a part of further financial operations. But that the New Tork Central actually feels itself In a position to take up the financing and operation of the Boston & Maine is most unlikely. "This brings us to the Canadian Pa cific as a customer. From a transpor tation point of view, its acquisition of the Boston and Maine would be in the line of natural progress. Boston would give the consolidated system a nice free port at the natural center for all eastern Canada, and would, besides, bring to Boston direct connections with the west through to the Pacific ocean. The Canadian road's financial condition, moreover, is peculiarly strong. Its stock has held up remark ably well In the recent crisis, and its general backing is such that It might reasonably expect to make an invasion of New England railway territory. "But this Is only one side of the story. This is not the first time the Canadian Pacific might have acquired a road into this port. The old Bos ton and Lowell was at least once with in its reach. The reasons for its de clining In the past to make Boston Its eastern terminus are not less operative to-day. The Canadian Pacific Is a government Institution to an extent little realised on this side of the line. The same grants and subsidies which are promoting its progress are also di rected toward the building up of the Canadian shipping and of Canadian ports. The rpad.ls really an agency of the Canadian, government for com prehensive h,6me development. It could hardly afford to face the protec tive spirit on the Canadian side of the line by an alliance which would make an American city Its great eastern ter minus, building up trade and commer-, cial connections here, at the expense of Canadian porls which are equally, with the road Itself the object of the government's rfare and solicitude, ; "For this reason It seems unlikely on the face of It that the competitive Interest to which Mf. Mellen refers Is the Canadian Pacific railroad. The substantiation of the report will thus be awaited with the greatest Interest. If either of these railroads in question proves to be a bona fide purchaser of the Boston & Maine, sj is of course posslblelt will constitute a striking chapter In railroad and Industrial his tory. And, of course, there may be another customer still, although its Identity it not at once clear. Until tha public knows of the direction into which this block of stock is going, it Is prematura to discuss how we should like such a merger as either or any of those thansfers would constitute, or how either or any such merger would compare with the wedding of the Maine system with the New York, New Ha ven & Hartford, now on the books, and awaiting the action, of the legislature. "Mr. Mellen's- statement, given out this afternoon, affords no information of the sort that is preliminary to any intelligent discussion of the question." Sbaughncssy Mum. Montreal, Dec. 12. President Thomas O. Shaughnessy, when Interviewed about negotiations for the control by the Canadian Pacific railway of the Boston and Maine railroad, said: "1 have positively nothing to say." There is a feeling among minor Can adian Pacific railway officials, however, that the Tumor is a well grounded one. Still Proceeding. v It is stated on high authority here that negotiations between the Canadian Pa cific and the New York, New Haven & Hartford Ratlroad comnsnles are stlij proceeding, with the Canadian Pacific a favoring $arty to the purchase of the Boston & Maine holdings of the New Haven. Apart, however, from any question of the attitude of the federal government or (he state of Massachu setts, the condition to be imposed, of the purchase of the Massachusetts trol leys of tHe New Haven company, is re garded as a serious obstacle to the car rying through of the sale. What, how ever, is of considerable Importance, is that another large railroad Interest haa approached the New Havon manage ment with a suggestion of the sale to it, of the Boston & Maine shares. The whole matter has not advanced to, a point where It will be more than dis cussed at to-morrow's meeting of the New York, New Haven & Hartford dl reotors. An offloer of the New York, New Ha ven 4 Hartford railroad company to day called attention to the faot that should the New Haven corporation de oide to sell hereafter to any railroad Interist that the 110,000 shares prac tically controlling the Boston & Maine road will never hereafter be separat ed, and will go In a block to any in terest which may acquire it.

" ' All owners of automobiles or motor cycles in this city will be glad to know ; that the secretary of state has issued a new list of registered mojor vehicles to November 60, 1907. This list contains the name and address of every owner of an automobile or motor cycle who have registered their machines since the new automobile law took effect on August 26, 1907. The last registered number for auto mobiles is 6222 which is considerably In excess of the actual number of -ma chines in use as there are quite a number of omitted numbers in the list. The secretary of state has called the attention of the police and the select men in the different cities and towns to this fact 1ft the following para graph which Is printed in red ink on the front hiside cover: "Omitted numbers under 'Owners' list were issued under the old law, but have not been renewed. Machines bearing shch should receive the prompt attention of officials charged with the execution of the law.' The number of motor cycles which have been registered since the law went into effect last- August is 893, which Is also in excess of the actual number of machines In use, there be ing many-omitted numbers which were on the old list. In. th list of owners of automobiles, the character of the motive power and the make ' of the machine is not given. The list contains the' names of live manufacturers and eighty-seven dealers. In the list of owners are the h&mes or 230 persons who use automobiles whlcli' are propelled by steam; first in order comes the White Steam Car, with 91; next in order, the Locomobile with 73, which- Is closely followed by the Stanley Steamers with 64. There are 14 Mobiles, 13 Grouts, 7 "Home Made," S Preseotts, 4 Victors, S Pope Toledo, and 6 scattering. New Haven is well represented In the list of steam cars-from the pretentious White Touring Car which can be seen on the streets every day down to the "Home-Made" runabout which makes Its appearance only on pleasant Sun days. Every dealer and every owner of an automobile or motor cycle can have a copy of the list of registered motor vehicles by applying in person at the office of the state secretary, or by mail, enclosing a two-cent stamp for return postage. Those persons who desire thh special list of owners of automobiles which use steam for the motive power, can' apply to Charles D. Sherman, 212 Orchard street, New Haven, who is the Connecticut correspondent of tha Steam Motor Journal, which is a 28-page monthly, published in Denver, Colo., and Is the only publication devoted ex clusively to the Interests of the steam propelled automobile. , n.. unnktrrt Q T' I VTXW" That is LAXATIVE BROMO QUININE.

Madison Square Garden, New York, Dec. 12. There was no change at midnight in the relative positions of the leaders In the six-day bicycle races in Madison Square Garden. Rutt and Stol and Moran and Fogler con tinued to hold their positions, one lap ahead of the next five teams. Downey made several ineffectual at tempts to dash to the front and regain a lap for his team. In his finst spring, about 9 o'clock this evening, Downey fell and brought Krebs down with him at the Fourth avenue turn, but the pair promptly remounted and went on. Owing to the keenness of the strug gle the management decided to cut out the special sprint events from now on to the close. At 1 o'clock this morning the posi tions of the riders remained the same. The leaders had pedalled 1,562 miles, 8 laps. The record for the ninety-sixth hour is 1,865 miles, 2 laps, made by Miller and Waller In 1899. ESCAPE FROM ACCIDENT.
