" COVERNMENT IS AIM “Ageat of Depariment of Commerce Securing Local Statistics. Dr. Walter H. Hildreth of the Rureau of the census, department of commerce and labor, is paying his an- nual visit to New Britain to obtain figures for the purpose of incorporat- ing them into the coming report on the financial statistics of the cities of the United States. * Dr. Hildreth threw considerable light on what the department is do- ing this afternoon while talking to a Herala reporter. He said: ‘A spe- cial report on the financial statistics of cities having a population of over 80,000 July 1, 1914, is being prepared by the bureau of census. The data now in progress of tabulation cov- ers the financial transactions' of 200 cities. “The purpose of this report, which i1l be similar to those published an- nunally by the bureau of census since 1208, is to present comparable statis- tles of cities for the information of city officials, civic bodies, students of economics !nterested in city manage- ment, ang citizens who take interest in their work for its betterment. To secure statistics that are comparable, the Lureau sends its agents to ‘each of the ci to report, to translate into commun language the data con- - talned In their accounts and reports. thug secuiing a uniformity of classi- fi¢aiion uge. of v reports alone. STais r rt will enable those in- terested to compare the details of mu- nivipal administration in their own city with those in other cities, and anch comparison must lead them to the discovery that in some particular, | | | that cannot be obtained by, or possibly in many particulars, other ! elties excel their own, and are secur- ing greater departmental efficiency in proportion to the moneys expended. The wide awake citizen interested in tlre physical and financial welfare of | tLis city can find its weak points by comparing its operations with those | o, other cities of about the same size angd similarly situated. To make this comparison peossible and to provide | the data for making it is the purpose of the inquiry conducted by the cen- " sus bureau. In so far as this purpose ' is accomplished, the city secures bet- ter and more economica: acministra- tion of public funds. Better man- ngement results in increased safety to>the lives and property of all the ¢it- izens, better health conditions, great- I er recreation opportunities, and wid- © er scope in educational activities. More econcmical administration, whether resulting in securing more b for money cxpended or in retaining in the city treasury for future financial benefit of every taxpayer. ‘“The bureau of census has sought to, assist in arousing interest in uni- form accounting for cities in that it might more accurately with less expenditure of time GEN. MAAS, WHO REFUSED REPARATION Tampico, April 29.—There are many busy men in Mexico, but one of the most active of all is General Maas, who has been dividihg his time between commanding the federal garrison at Tampico and in conducting active operations ‘in the field. He it was who refused any reparation to Admiral Mayo when some of his sol- diers arrested American ' sailors = in Tampico, marched them through the | streets and brought on grave inter-| national complications.” ‘' Maas - sent heavy re-enforcements to the defense of Torreon and San Pedro and iscon- sidered one of the ablest of Huerta's generals. i RECOMMEND SUMMER CAMP FOR YOUTHS State Y.

PERSIAN PLAN FOR MINISTERS DISCUSSED Bishop Lawrence Presides Over An- nual Convention of Episcopal Diocese of Massachusetts. Boston, April 29.—Consideration of a pension plan was one of the sub- | jects to come before the 129th annual convention of the Episcopal dlocese pf Massachusetts today. Bishop Willlam Lawrence, who presided, wns under- stood to favor a system proposed by Monell Sayre of New Yurk, whereby every clergyman in the diocese would receive a sum approximating $600 a year upon reaching the age of 60 years. The opening sermon was preached by Rev, Henry B. Bull of this city. A business session followed, with re- ports from various committees, in- | cluding that on social service. The annual address of Bishop Law- rence referred to the liquor problem in these words: “Industria] efficiency is driving' the drinking man, even the rather moderate drinking man, to the wall. Drink, and that not to excess but habitual, gradually disin- tegrates the physical, nerve and moral fibre, and what is more tragic, the sons and daughters reveal the father's rather loose habits of cocktails and champagne and whiskey in weakening bedies and more or less degenerate systems.” HIGH SCHOOL NOTES. Girl-Students Decide to Have a Ten- nis Team. The High School Debating club had a meeting during the sixth period to- day for the purpose of electing a | president and business manager for next year.

The High school girls are not to be outdone by the boys. This fact was apparent today, when they met and decided to have a tennis team. The arrangements for the club are not completed as vet, but things are ex- pected to happen in about a week. The baseball team will play its sec- ond game of the season Saturday, when it meets the Connecticut Liter- ary Institute team in Suffield. The New Haven game last Saturday gave | the team a chance to find out its weak points, and it is expected to win the game with little trouble.

" FINANCIAL NEWS 1 PROPOSED MEDIATION AIDS MARKET TRADE Popuar Shares Sell in Large Blocks at Opening Session. 10:45 A. M.—The advance in stocks was continued with the opening of the market today. Progress of negotia- tions for settlement of the Mexican problem reassured traders, who bought more confidently. A good demand existed for the popular shares, which were taken in large blocks. There was not the same scarcity of offerings, however, that characterized yesterday's trading, and while the movement was almost uni- formly upward the early advances, with few exceptions, were held down to small fractions. The improved Mexican outlook was reflected in ad- vances of a point in Mexican govern- ment fives, of 2 1-4 in the Mexican fours, and of two points in Mexican Petroleum. Close—The market closed heavy to- day. Early strength was not main- tained, prices yielding on raiding of special issues, selling of stocks re- cently bought to support prices and decreaspd buying for short account. Speculation dragged in the late af- ternoon the market suffered from the effects of renewed continental pressure against Canadian Pacific and a se- vere break in Rock Island collateral bonds. Some shares sustained losses of a point or more. The following quotations are fur- nished by G. Edward Graff, stock broker, National Bank ‘building. F. N. Gilfillan, local manager: April 29. Low.
