'State Attorney Judson is to -run for ' Senator in the 25th district, provided Judge Banks consents to toe shunted aside, principally upon his advocacy of a public utilities bill. Ex-Lieut. Gov. Lake -who is said' to be Mr. Judson's choice for the Guber natorial nomination, announced a few weeks ago that he, too, favored the creation of a. public utilities commis sion but would limit its activities to the investigation of complaints, which would leave the application of reme dies for proven wrongs to a generally corporation -ridden Legislature. This pronouncement met. when made, with Mr. Judson's approval. Senator Bulkeley : whose candidacy for re-election is said, to be supported by Mr. Judson, has not expressed his views upon the public utilities ques tion, but Judging from his past record and his present affiliations, be is not a friend of the commission project. Mr. Judson has of late delivered a .number of speeches upon the public his advice to his audiences is regularly, "Watch the Senate.. -We are inclined to repeat, that advice and to particu larize by adding, "Watch every Sena Serial candidate who supports Bulkeley and Lake." , . -If "Cotton", the Southern textile journal, correctly ' interprets rising prices, they are beneficial, in that they "afford" an opportunity for the turplus of workers A the over-crowded iities I to return to the tilling of the eotl, at which occupation the,y can,, at the present and at the" still. higher prices of the future, obtain a degree of health, wealth 'and independence ; which is not possible under their pres ent conditions" -particular-ly- in the South "with its relatively low priced but fertile farm lands and its equable climate." If no other benefit from the high cost of commodities. can be found, the case has but a slender standing. The "surplus of workers in the over crowded cities" is not, large in good times, and surely it would not be right to sanction the sufferings of the actual workers in the -city from high prices, who constitute the great majority, merely to send the comparatively few unemployed to the farms,' whether in the fertile South, or elsewhere. .

Boston, March S. Accused of hav ing aided' George W. Coleman, the $12 a. week, bookkeeper of the Na tional City Bank of Cambridge, Mass., in looting that institution of nearly 5.200,000, Wilson Lockhart, Coleman's chauffeur, intimate and substitute in the bank, was yesterday held by United States Commissioner Hayes in $30, 000 bail for trial. Lockhart since v his arrest has steadily refused to ' admit anything which would throw, light on his rela tions with Coreman or to give any information as to how far he was concerned in the defalcation. It '3 known, however, that he was with toieman on many joy jaunts witn women and it is believed by the Fed eral officials who caused his arrest that he was thoroughly cognizant of Coleman's looting and was an active participant in it besides helping to spend the easy money thus secured. General Bishop Offers Outing to Hundreds of - Members of Boys' Club . At a meeting of the directors of the Boys club last evening it was made known-that through the generosity of General Henry A. Bishop tHe boys will be given an outing throughout the summer, by (.companies of 20 to 25, in camp3 to oe maintained at General Bishop's expense along the Housatonic river. . General Bishop in providing ma terials for five complete camps stipu lated only that the boys themselves should do the work of erecting the amps under the direction of Captain Green of his yacht, Akela. The enrollment of the Boys club is now 1,500 an dthe average weekly at tendance 350. EZABDOR DROOKAROW WOULD BE I. DRUCKER Ezardor Drookarow, a local lock smith, would have his name changed fo Isaac; Drucker, saying that the lat ter name is easier to pronounce and o spell. He mace petition yesterday vfore Judge George W. Wheeler the Superior Court for the change, ae court stated that it did not Ink Drucker was any easier to pro iunce than Drookarow, but took the pers and will make its - decision cr. The petitioner is a Russian u N I c nla &k L HOW THE COST OF LIVING IS MADE HIGH. Since Congress took up for investigation the high cost of living, public agitation of the matter has quieted down somewhat, in ex pectation that some effective check would be applied by that body, but the Congressional leaders who are ever such earnest advocates of the "full dinner pail" for workingmen when tariff protection for the big trusts is in process of maintenance or increase, are most sig nificantly indifferent when the pending question relates to the deple tion of that "dinner pall" by abnormally high prices. A Senate v committee has just completed a brief and perfunctory investigation of the high cost of living and is making up a report, the probable substance of which will be, "Nothing doing." Belief will : evidently not come from either the Federal Executive or Congress as now-politically controlled. From July 1, 1896, to Jan. 1, 1910, a period of 3Y2 years, the prices of 57 articles of daily use advanced 70 per cent. that is, nearly dou bled., Not all, if either, of these years were times of great scarcity of supplies: in not one of them, was the supply inadequate to the home demand. The clear fact is that prices were arbitrarily boosted, in order to swell already : bloated fortunes. How great is the effect, rpon the average family', and. how heavy the increased profit to the price-manipulators, may be judged from the fact that he family for instance, the cost of living of which was $1,000 in 1896. must now pay $1,700 for the same necessary products and articles. There is. according to the "Philadelphia Record", an "official guide book circulated only among cold-storage men", from which it appears that there are now in cold storage in "the (United States, the. carcasses of 14,000,000 cattle, 6,000,000 calves, 1 25,000,000 sheep and lambs, 50,000,000 hogs, fish to .the value of $25,000,000, 150,000,000 dozen eggs,- 130,000,000 pounds of butter, fruits worth $50,000,000, millions of pounds 'of potatoes and onions, thousands of turtles, eels, and cases of canned goods, and milk, "and cheese valued at $100,000,000. Can it be reasonably claimed that all these food products .are thus stored because, of glutted "markets? Can it be urged in extenuation of high prices that there exists a scarcity, or a supply less than the market demand, in" any one of these articles of food? Is it not' the ' clearly evident fact that these food products are thus stored in such prodigious quantities for the sole purpose of advancing prices, and that the inevitable effect has been the increase of 70 per cent, in the cost of living during the last 3 years? Every year, this country ships to England about 860-000 head of the finest beef cattle, and at such prices' that the meat, is retailed there at lower prices' than here. Does this fact confirm the Beef. Trust's constant plea of a scarcity as the reason for an equally con stant increase in prices to American consumers? . " The Taft Administration has made a strenuous fight to- prevent ' further exclusion of' American, meats from Germany, which struggle was evidently inspired by the Beef Trust. Does this carry the ap pearance of any scarcity in this country? Consult the cold-storage figures above given for an answer to the question! If there is any remedy for the mot outrageous extortion em bodied in the high cost of living and we believe there Is it will not be applied by the now dominant Party, for high prices for commodi ties constitute the inevitable result of, prohibitory protection. BANK TELLER IS CHARGED WITH LARCENY CSpecial from United Press.) , " Boston, March 5. John H. Cullen, paying teller at the Union Institution of Savings of Boston, was arraigned in the Boston municipal court before Judge Wentworth today charged with larceny of $1,200- from the savings bank. lie was held . to the Grand Jury in $1,500 bail. His attorney, Joseph P. "Walsh, waived the reading of the - complaint and also .waived examination. Cullen, it is said, admitted a short age of $1,200 when the bank officials became suspicious and questioned him as to hi3 books. He was at once dis charged and the bonding company procured his arrest early today by a special order of Attorney General Malone of Massachusetts. Cfullen is said to have declares that his only excuse - for the defalcation was that he had tried to live beyond his means. JUDGE WHEELER SUSTAINS CLAIMS Judge George W- Wheeler, in the superior court, civil side, gave judg ment against Mary A. Walker yester day, in her appeal from two decisions of the commissioners named by the probate court of South Norwalk to pass upon claims against the estate of her husband, the late Thomas H. Walker. Arvilla P. Keeler, of Ridgefield, who bad been allowed $1,000 by the commissioners was allowed $1,224.50 by the court. James Walker, a brother of the deceased, was allowed $1,265 by the court. Mrs. Keeler claimed that the deceased sold grain for her and retained the proceeds. James Keeler claimed that he and his brother did work together, but that his share., of the proceeds was not paid to him. INFLAMMATORY RHEUMATISM CURED IN 3 DATS. Morton L. Hill, of Lebanon, Ind., says: "My wife had Inflammatory Rheumatism in every muscle and joint; her suffering was terrible and her body and face were swollen almost beyond recognition: had been in bed for six weeks and had e'ght physi cians, but receive! no benefit until she tried Dr. Detchon's Relief for Rheumatism.

After a term of service in presidential cabinets longer than that of any other man in the nation's history James Wilson, secretary of agriculture, is to retire soon, according to current Washington belief. The controversy of the secre tary with former Chief Forester Pin chot over the latter's use of the sec retary's permission to write a letter to Senator Dolliver in relation to the charges against- Secretary Ballinger has intensified Washington's belief.
