i LONERGAN ARGUES FOR CONN. RIVER BILL Says Water is Rusming to Waste it fficl. ‘Washington, July 24.—Congress- man Lonergan of Connecticut ad- ? dressed the house today on the bill calculated to improve the Connecticut river, He said in part: The peoplé of the district which I have the honor to represent are greatly interested in the immediate Passage of ‘this bill or a measure of similar purport. We have on the Connecticut river, about twelve miles 1 above Hartford, at what are known as the Enfleld rapids, 30,000 horse power running to waste every day, although it 1s situated in the center of a manu- facturing section where, within the radius of a few miles, there are over 100,000 horse power being manufac- tured by the use of coal at compara- tively high cost to the manufacturers. By the development of this water power, electricity can be delivered to the manufacturing plants in small b communities at about one-hailf of the cost to them of producing steam power. The development of this wa- ter power has been delayed and pre- vented by the fallure of congress to #olve the water power problem, so far as navigable rivers are concerned, which the present bill will and does solve, and will permit the utilization of thesé water powers now being swasted, and will at the same time greatly ald the development of our rivers for navigation, with the ex- pense of this development borne by private capital rather than by the . Rovernment. The state of Connecticut has al- ready granted authority for the de- velopment of this power and in Con- necticut the state owns the bed of the Jiver. Over six years ago the legis- Tature of that state passed a special act permitting the damming of the Connecticut river at Windsor Locks, and, in so far as it could, made the necessary grant to permit the conser- vation of this great natural resource of the state, Capital Ts Ready. The capital to develop this project, » which it is estimated will cost at least five million dollars, I am in- formed is ready and walting. I am assured that a company of over sev- enty Connecticut and western Massa- chusetts men has been orga.iized, who are anxious to see this develop- ment made, and who are willing and ready to invest their own money in “this project and are simply waiting for permission from . the United States government to go ahead with it. This company is made up of manufacturers who want the cheap power for their own individual plants;. of men interested in ths im- provement of navigation who are ready to invest their money in this roject in order that navigation on he Connecticut river may be opened up from Hartford to Holyoke and the mdvantage of cheap water transpor- tation gained for the manufacturing cities which have been built yp along the Connecticut river. The only thing which prevents the fmmediate development of this pru- ject is the failure to secure authority from congress for the right to place a dam across the Enfield Rapids. /There is no navigation on this river today above Hartford on account of these rapids. The government has réfused to improve the river owing to the expense of placing a dam across it in order to enable boats to surmount these rapids. It has, after a very careful and complete exam- ination, recommended the improve- tnent of this river, contingent upon a dam being built by private capital at Windsor. The passage of this bill will go a long way toward permitting this im- provement to be made and is a pre- lIminary step which is absolutely necessary before these developments can be started. Not for Private Intcrests. I do not think our \waterways should be left to the exploitation of private interests but favor a program fair to all concerned. It is probable that in another generation or two the ‘government will own all ‘water powers, but in the meantime they ghould be utilized under government control. The development of - the water power at Windsor Locks is a matter | which concerns all of ‘the towns sit- uated near that place.

NATIONAL BISCUIT COMPANY Always look for that name Connecticut and Massachusetts will be accommodated by the proposed im- provements on the Connecticut river. Connecticut Valley Anxious. The Connecticut valley is anxious to make the most of the natural re- sources of the Connecticut river. In n:y speech in the house. of representa- tives on March 21 last I mentioned the reasons for the widespread desire for the improvement of the Connecticut river. The Connecticut rises in the extreme northern portion of New Hampshire and flows in a southerly direction between that state and Ver- mont, forming the boundary line be- tween these two states, and through Massachusetts and , Connecticut, emptying into Long Island Sound at Saybrook, about thirty miles to the eustward of New Haven and about forty miles to the westward of New London. Its entire water shed is said to be about 11,000 square miles, of which only about 850 square miles are below Hartford. .Most of the impor- tant tributaries of the Connectitut river join it above Hartford. Below Hartford there are only five thay may bo considered of any importance. The Park or Hog river enters the Connecticut from the westward at Hartford, about 4,100 feet below the highway bridge, and the Hockanum river flows into it from the eastward; about 5,000 feet below the mouth of the Park river. At Middletown, Little Tiver flows in from the westward; and just above Fast Haddam the Salmon river and a short distance above Essex Eight Mile river empty in from the eastward. Help Tobacco Irrigation. The Connecticut valley {s famous for its tobacco lands, the river ex- tending right through the heart of the tobacco belt. One of the prob- lems which confront the tobacco grower at the present time is the question of irrigation. Many grow- | ers, and the United States depart- | ment of agriculture, are giving the matter serious study, and a partial Millions of gallons of water will be required in the irrigating, and power develop- ment on the Connecticut river, it is bellieved, will open up for the grow- ers a new means for supplying the much needed water in the thirsty to- bacco flelds, People Desire It. The citizens of the towns which border the Connecticut river, not only in their own interest but in behalf of the commercial prosperity of the whole state, desire legislative action Which will make possible the utiliza- tion to thg fullest extent of the great natural resources of the river for Power purposes and navigation, D — YOUNG BALL PLAYER DEAD. Bloomington, Ind., July 24.—Her- bert Davis, aged 10 years, died here last night as a result of injuries sus- tained while playing baseball. He had .been struck in the body by a batted ball, NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD. FRIDAY, JULY 24, 1914. INTERGROUND - GAMES BEGUN BY CHILDREN Eightecn Games Played in First Day of- Contests.

There were crowds of onlookers of all ages, and every point won was hailed with cheers. Loyalty and team spirit were evident in all the games; all tried to win and at the same time to play the game and play fair.

WAKEFIELD'S DEFENSE 1S NOW ON Jury Ordered by Court to Forget Some Testimony. New Haven, July 24.—The defense in the Bessie J. Wakefield murder case began putting In its evidence to- day in the superior court here. There was some delay in starting the pro- ceedings, which was explained when State's Attorney Alling moved, after the jury had been called in, to strike out certain parts of the testimony submitted by the prosecution. Judge Joel H. Reed granted the motion, and advised tke jury that the evidence having been stricken out of the rec- ord should be dismissed minds entirely. The testimony stricken out had to do with the chloroform bottle and the statements made by James Plew, who has already been hanged for the mur- der of Willlam O. Wakefield, the husband of the accused woman, and with whose death she is also charged, also certain parts of the evidence of State Policeman Downey as to what Plew had told him in the absence of Mrs. Wakefleld, about the killing of her husband. This testimony Judge Reed explained had been admitted to show Plew's interest and connection with the murder, and not as against Mrs. Wakefield. Some portions of the testimony of Mrs. Mary Bristol were also included in the mo- tion to expunge. In making his motion Mr. Alling sald; * “There is some doubt as to Wwhether the supreme court meant that certain evidence should be in or out of the case and rather than Jeopardize the interests of the de- fendant I wish to withdraw that evi- dence.”. Dismissed Testimony. The state's attorney then read from the record giving page and number and questions and answers of the tes- timony included in his motion. Coun- sel for the defense stated there was no objection to Mr. Alling's motion, and the judge then granted the mo- tion, To the jury the court said: “The testimony to which your at- tention has been called goes out of the case. Dismiss it from your minds entlirely.” Judge James H. Webb again| sat with Judge Reed as a spectator. Mrs. ‘Wakefleld appeared to be in better spirits than on any previous day. Her two children sat with their grand- parents when the accused woman en- tered the room. The little girl catch- ing her mother's eye jumped from her grandmother’s lap to run to her mother as the latter beckoned to the child. The little girl was restrained, however, thus Mrs. Wakefleld had to be contented with smiling at her daughter. Michael Kilduff of Bristol was called as the first witness for the de- fense, He had previously testifled, called by the state, Wakefield rent- ed the South street house in Bristol from him. “I'll Get You Yet.” Farl B. Curtis, a truckman of Bristol, and Elmer Alward, a team- ster in his employ, followed in the order named and told about the habits | of Wakefleld. Alward also testified to a quarrel between Wakefleld and Fwel in the Curtis stable yard, when Plew kept following Wakefleld using vile language to him and declaring “I'll get you yet.” Dwight Wheeler of Middlebury tes- tified that he rented a place to the Wakeflelds when they moved from ‘Woodbury in April, 1911. They lived there a year. Both Wakefield and Plew worked for him on the farm. MANUFACTURER IS CHARGED WITH ARSON Said to Be Implicated in Burning of Knife Factory Hotchkissville. Waterbury, July 24.—Roswell Al Clark, owner of the American Shear and Knife company of Hotchkissville, was arrested at 11:30 o'clock this morning on a warrant charging him with being implicated with the burn- ing of the knife factory in Hotchkiss- ville. Mr, Clark was taken intor custody by State Policeman Hurley, and De- tectives Stevens and Keegan of Wa- terbury. He was accompanied by a lawyer, and the entire party went at once to the detective bureau of the local police headquarters. Jacob P. Stein, 24, employed by Mr. Clark as a hotel clerk, was arrested last night. Mr. Clark came to Waterbury last June, buying the defunct company from the receivers. A month later he bought the Waterville Cutlery company which was also in the hands of recelvers. The Hotchkissville fac- tory which was destroyed was one of the oldest factories in this part of the state having been in the family of John H. Cowles of Waterbury for the past fifty years, Mr. Cowles disposing of it about ten years ago to H. J. Dormitzer of New York who in turn sold it to Clark. Shortly after taking over the prop- erty Clark was sued by Dormitzer for $16,000 for failure to live up to cer- tain parts of the contract and after the fire Attorney A. P. Bradstreet in behalf of Dormitzer secured an order from Judge Mates to have the insur- ance companies withhold that same amount from the insurance. M, E. Keeley is arranging bonds for Mr. Clark. from their | Gillette of | SAYS MME. GUEYDAN Ciaims Ste Doesw't Care What is Done With Them. Parls, July 24.—"Call Madame Gueydan,” was the command of Judge Louls Albanel immediately when the court opened today for the fifth day's hearing in the trial of Madame Henri- | etta Cafllaux for the wiltul marder on March 16 of Gaston Calmetts, editor of the Figaro. Mme. Gueydan, former wife of the prisoner’s husband, Joseph Caillaux, an ex-premier of France, had how-i‘ ever, not arrived and Pascal Ceccaldi, | the most intimate private and politi- cal friend of M. Calllaux, was called to the stand. The interest today centered around the two intimate letters referred to in yesterday's testimony and handed by Mme. Gueydan to Maitre Labori to deal with as he chose. Great curiosity had been awakened as to. whether, lithey would be read in court or com- municated privately to the jurors. | Maitre Labori, before M. Ceccaldi, began his testimony said he would | defer until the arrival of Mme Guey- dan a communication he desired to make to the court. ‘M. Ceccaldi then addressed to the jury an impassioned defense of the Caillaux family. He said Mme. Cail- | laux’s efforts to restrain her husband | from assuming political power was due to her belief that his keeping out of the government was the only way in which they could expect to have peace in their life. ' M. Caillaux, seated in the crowded court among witnesses and journalists ! fcllowed attentively his friend’s Pane- gyric, nodding his head in approba- tion and occasionally casting a glance | about the court room as though measuring the effect of the witness’ words. Mme. Caillaux, in the prisoners’ en- clesure, presented a sorrowful figure. In her eyes was a look of bewilder- mwent and seeming terror. She did not speak to any one, but she had a long talk with her husband in the prison “PUBLISH LETTERS,” | Sommer Hints to Mothers Who ‘Care Seasonable Advice on the Health of Children in Hot Weather. It is well that mothers be advised not to over-feed the children during the hot months. No one requires as much food in summer as in winter. Feed .the children the lighter and more easily digested foods. See that the milk is cool and kept away from flles. Be careful that the fruit is ripe,- and if the child begins scratch the skin, indicating too much to acld in the blood, deprive it of fruit for several days. It is quite natural that under these conditions there will be some diges- tive disturbance, such as constipation, indigestion or summer diarrhoea. It may be accompanied by a cold or by eruptions of the skin. The timely remedy, and one which you can rely on for results, s a small dose of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin on retiring, and by morning the bowels will move and the trouble will vanish. The ex- ceptional tonic Ingredients in this remedy will tone the stomach and en- rich the blood, and the child will feel its usual self again. Many families like that of Mr, Wil- llam Weber, 29 Edwin Place, Buffalo, N.'Y., who uses it for foul breath and constipation, and Mrs. John Wal- lace, Scottsville, Kv., who finds it val- uable to herself as well as her chil- dren, are never without it, keeping it for just such emergencies. You also can obtain a bottle of Dr. Caldwell Syrup Pepsin at fifty cents or one dollar of any druggist. Families which once use this pleasant-tasting laxative forever after discard cathars tics, purgatives, salts and pills. Families wishing to try a free same ple bottle can obtain it, postpaid, by addressing Dr. W, B, Caldwell, 418 Washington Ct., Monticello, TIL of the conclergerie before the hearing began. Uproar in Court. M. Ceccald] amazed those in court by giving his testimony in the form of a speech in which he reviewed the | political and newspaper attacks on the former premier. The auditors mean- while kept up a continuous murmur of protests or approval. The protests caused M. Ceccaldl to shout: “If I defend M. Caillaux it is because'he is an honest man.” Those in the court room soon began to tire of M. Ceccaldl’s speech, and the interruption increased, which brought from the witness the heated exclamation: “I have the right to talk here because they seek to keep a woman in prison.” This occasioned an uproar and Judge Albanel, who hitherto had been impassive, pounded his desk to restore order. “I will continue my disposition,” then said M. Ceccaldi; and he pro- ceeded with a criticism of former Premier Barthou's course in reading in the chaunber of deputies the docu. ment draven up by Victor Fabre in cennection with the Rochette swindle, When M. Ceccald] had spoken for an hour, forimer Premier Barthou was called to the stand and defended action in making public the WVie Fabre docum:nts. M. Caillaux also spoke briefly fore Madame Gueydan app Maitre Labori mnd Maitre Chenu explained their' ideas for and the publication of the letters placed in Maitre Laboris charge by Madame Gueydan. Maitre Chenu remarked that the letters did not «concern the case, to which Maitre Laj»ori retorted that he thought three of them did. Maitre Labor{ then returned the letters to Madame Gueydan and asked her what | her wishes were in the matter and she replied: “I dp not care what you do. Publish them all if you ‘want to do so0.” It was thereupon decided to place three of the letters among the papers in the case but to read only one of them after the recass.
