The natural oyster growthers will be
jiad to learn that another firm will

aeea oysters In this vicinity in the near
future. H W. Porter of Stratford;
ha formed on alliance with prominent
New York oystermen aao the result

Porter who will be the Connecticut
repraeentaitive of the Ann and will do
ail the buying here. Mr. Porter has
a large section, of ground in the State.
Be owns 880 acres near the break
waiter In Stratford) and patches in
other parts of the Sound in this vicin
ity. The Connecticut grounds will be
used oasBiusively for storage. The
new company proposes to furnish a
continuous market throughout the year
for seed oysters.
Natural growth era who have been
unable to sell seed when the market
was slack will now be able to sell at
any time when the law allows the tak

there are no buyers who are situated

to the water. The new firm proposes
to take all the seed offered at any time
-in the year and pay a reasonable price
therefor.
LAYS DOWN THE LAW
Judges Charge to Grand Jury Anent
Reckless Auto Speeding.
New York, April 6. Judge Swann in
his charge to the April Grand Jurors
in General Sessions yesterday express
ed his opinion of automobile speeding,
which he called- "a. new method of
committing old crhnes." He said:
"Within the last month many crimes
have been committed by men possess
ed of the speed mania. They run down
women and children on our streets.
Women andl children and the infirm
and aged are entitled to the use of the
streets as much as the strong. No
man has an exclusive right to the
streets. EJven. the man who devotes
his time to speeding this modern en
gine has no more right to the public
street than the weak and infirm.
"Men who do these acts recklessly
and without regard! to the rights of
others, and who either malm or kill,
are guilty of either manslaughter or
other grades of crime, and it seems to
me that it would be a proper and fit
ting thing that, if such a case comes
before you, you should not hesitate to
indict if the evidence warrants R; and
that you should not hesitate to indict
for the crime of manslaughter if you
think that that crime has 'been com
mitted. "It is further provided by section 29
of the penal laws that a man who aids
and abets in the commission of crime
is equally guilty with the man who
commits the crime. The owner of an
automobile will sometimes take delib
erately a chauffeur who has been
known, to be reckless in his driving.
The minute that the owner of the au
tomobile puts such a chauffeur upon
his machine in the public streets the
law presumes that the owner knows
the ordinary act that the chauffeur is
going- to commit. A man is presumed
to intend the ordinary and usual re
sults of his own acts, and the owner
who puts a reckless chauffeur in an
automobile and' sends him through the
streets could be properly found by you
to be equally guilty with the chauffeur
of the crime, whatever it may be, that
may reasonably be expected to be com
mitted by that chauffeur."
IS "AWFDLLY TIRED"
Representative Clark of Florida Tired of
Following Mr. Bryan.
Washington, April 6. In the House
yesterday, Mr. Clark (Derru, Fla.,)
said :
"We do not intend, so far as I am
concerned and the people I represent,
to follow your Nebraskan Populist ic
leader any more. I think the South
ern Democracy never made a greater
mistake in its life than when it turned
its back on its Democratic friends in
the Bast, whom it has driven from the
party, and tied up with Populism out
In Nebraska. I am just a plain, old
fashioned Democrat, and when you all
get back there you will be better off.
I have followed him (Bryan) three
times, and I am awfully tired."

OYSTERMEN MEET
Association Organized and
Officers Elected.
A meeting was held in New York on
Saturday, and an association formed
which is doing very important work
for the oyster industry. The member
ship of this association includes many
of the leading oyster shippers of New
York and New England. It is intend
ed to work in harmony with all other
organizations of oyster shippers and
dealers, but its special work is to rem
edy the effect of a vast quantity of
misleading advertisements which have
been circulated throughout the coun
try, in which it has been attempted to
compel the use of a patent oyster
package for shipment, by slanderous
statements against other kinds of
packages
The association of New .York and
New England Oyster Shippers have
voted to distribute throughout the
country 32,000 circulars
On Saturday the association voted' a
permanent organization and elected the
following officers:
Henry C. Rowe of New Haven, pres
ident. Oeorge M. Still of New York, vice
preside nt.
Henry C. Elsworth of New York,
treasurer.
Eugene D. McCarthy of New York,
secretary.
At the meeting was exhibited a large
number of oyster carriers and display
cases, which were furnished by the
different manufacturers for the con
sideration of the members present.
Other steps to promote the general
welfare of the industry were consider
ed, and it Is believed that the work of
the association will result in much
benefit to all engaged in the business.
The necessary funds for the prosecu
tion of the work were raised by sub
scription at the meeting.
