AT TRUMBULL STREET, RD, of a handsome pergola on the sum- mit of Walnut Hill and have a large bronze tablet, suitably inscribed, con- structed therein, in memory of C. B. Erwin. At last night’s meeting several sug- gestions for a fitting memorial were made. Judge Gaffney thought me- morial gates, similar to those at the entrance to Keeney park in Hartford. were of value. 'A bronze pillar was also mentioned. T. W. O’Connor came to the meeting armed with an elabor- ate sketch embodying his idea of a fitting memorial. It consisted of a granite wall, stairs, and lastly an ob- servation house on the summit of the hill. As soon as he had finished however, there was a chorus of dis- senting voices because of the expense. The idea evolved by A. J. Sloper was the one thought the best. It is the construction of a pergola on the summit and a bronze memorial tab- let at one end. A tablet such as need- ed could be purchased for $1,500 or $1,800. It was stated that both the pergola and the tablet can be secured through general taxation and the fac- tory interests have already signified a willingness to do their share. Before the meeting adjourned it was voted to ask W. F. Brooks to pre- pare some sketches of a pergola and bronze tablet that would enhance the beauty of the summit of the park ani the next meeting of the committee will be held Tuesday evening to con- sider their plan.

Necessary for Defense of United, States, Says Sen. Randall ‘Washington, Dec. 1.—“Military pre- paredness is essential to National se- curity and the safeguarding of the National honor, and I am heartily in | | favor of a reasonable Increase in our army and especially in our navy.” The speaker was Senator Joseph E. Ransdell, who has just returned to Washington from his Louisiana plan- tation, where he spent the summer, and on which it is said the Senator is practicing diversification of crops— raising less cotton and more hogs and hominy and things. Improved Inland Waterways. “But,” continued the Senator, “as a necessary auxiliary to the armed forces of the United States, there must be adequate facilities for the speedy mobilization of men and munitions in event of war, and the best, cheapest and most permanent means that can be provided is to be found in proper- ly improved inland waterways. “I denounce as false the charge that river and harbor appropriations are wholesale steals and useless extrava- gances, and am convinced that they are not only wise expenditures but safe and sound investments, which will pay substantial dividends in cheapening transportation charges, thereby lowering the cost of many staple commodities to the ultimate consumer. Many People Misled. “The next convention of the Na- tional Rivers and Harbors Congress, which meets in Washington December 8, 9 and 10, will tend to crystalize the sentiment which is being aroused throughout the country against the foundless charges of ‘pork barrel,’ which reached a climax in the fili- busters resulting in the defeat of the last two Rivers and Harbors bills. The opponents of waterway improve- ments have made the welkin ring with their utterances, and because friends of waterways have not suffi- ciently taken the offensive and refuted these slanders, many well-meaning people have been misled. “The rivers and harbors bills are framed upon the recommendations of the engineers of the U. S. Army, and each project appropriateqd for, twice runs the gauntlet of the searching criticism of ten engineer officers whose integrity and ability are beyond suspicion bgfore it is considered by the Rivers and Harbors committee of the house and the commerce commit- iee of the senate. These committees pass upon the report of the chief of engineers, prectically always recom- mending to their respective houses only those, and all of those, projects endorsed by the engineer corps. Con- gress then takes such action as it deems best, and river and harbor acts cre the results. Branded as Thieves. “To assert then, as these so-called critics have done both in and out of congress, that river and harbor bills are full of ‘pork’ and graft of every kind, and that many waterway appro- priations are nothing more or less than so much money stolen from the public treasury, is to brand the offi- cers of the U. 8. Corps of Army En- gineers, the members of the house committee on rivers and harbors, and the senate committee on commerce, and all of the members of both houses who have voted for rivers and har- i | Il | tors bills, as thieves, and to charge that in contravention of their oaths of office, they have advocated and en- dorsed the squandering of millions tpon utterly worthless projects. Such @ slanderous accusation is as false as Satan and will be rejected by all thinking men. “I call upon all friends of water- way improvements to refute these as- rertions whenever they are made, and standing shoulder to shoulder, to pre- sent a united front to our critics. Our slogan is ‘The proper improvement of all the nation’s worthy water courses.’ A splendid opportunity to voice their indignation and to endorse the work of improving our waterways will pre- gent itself at the coming convention of | the National Rivers and Harbors con- | gress,'and I urge all friends of wa- terways to attend in person or send their representatives. Prominent men from every section of the United States, governors, senators, congress- men and leaders in every line of in- dustry, will address the congress, and a special feature of the convention will be the open debates in which the delegates will be given an opportunity to express their views and the views of the people they represent. We are aiming to make the coming conven- | tion the greatest in the history of our crganization, and expect to have an attendance surpassing that of any rrevious year.” LOCAL COURT SENDS FIRST MAN TO FARY New Law in Reference to State Farm for Inebriates Involked for First 1 Time This Morning.

In order to send a’ man to tho state farm for inebriates it must be proved that he has been arrested three times or more for drunkenness. Prosecutor Klett read Witka's record, after which there was no doubt. In 1912 he was convicted five times. In 1913 he was convicted twice and the following year four times. Last night's arrest was the second this year. He has been sent to jail repeatedly, hav- ing served a total of 120 days for drunkenness. He expressed himself as well pleas- ed with the verdict this morning and said he wanted to go to the farm. NO OPPOSITION TO ROAD. Hartford, Dec. 1.—There was no opposition to the petition of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Rail- road company for permission to take land for railroad purposes at the hearing before the public utilities commission in the capitol yesterday. The land in question is located in Stonington and owned by Mrs. Mary | P. Hyde. While there was no formal opposition a letter was read from Fred 8. and W. A. Pendleton of Brooklyn, N. Y., brothers of Mrs. Hyde in which they called attention to the annoyance from which their sister would suffer by the laying of tracks on the land. It is the inten- tion of the company to use it for a siding for freight cars. Start Tomorrow and Keep It Up : Every Morning Get In the hablt of drinking a glass of hot water before breakfast.
