It is un- derstood that the price asked for this dand is in the neighborhood of $2,5600. Mayor Quigley states that he person- gl;' inspected the land yesterday and [ islders it practically worthless.

Jy T0 HELP FARMING Urges Aliowing Savings Banks to Invest in Farm Loan Bonds Hartford, April 25.—A request by, Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo that Connecticut adopt legislation to make federal farm loan bank bonds to the General Assembly today by Governor Hojcomb. The governor, in his communication, - said that on March 28 he received an inguiry from Secretary McAdoo as to whether or not the General Assembly had passed a law making farm loan bonds legal in- vestments for savings banks and Nke institutions and he was informed that such a bil] had been presented but had been rejected upon an adverse report. The governor said he felt it to be his duty to lay ‘this matter be- fore the assembly. Secretary McAdoo in his letter said: “While I regarded this lesislation of vital importance before the dec- laration of war with Germany was made, I now feel that it is even more vitally and pressing. I regret exceedingly that the importance of the appeal which I made was not real- ized by the legislature of your state. Past and. present war experience dethonstrates that the productions of foodstuff is the first real line of de- fense. It is most important that at this time, of all times, money should be furnished to the farmers, in what- éver amounts are necessary, at a rate of interest which will induce them to cultivate their land intensively and extensively. ’ “The federal farm loan board has fixed the interest rate to be charged the farmers- throughout the country at five per cent. for a period of five to forty vears. Applications at the present time for loans exceed $125,- 000,000. This, with the system scarcely established, indicates how eagerly the farmers are - avalling themselves of the benefits to be de- rived under the federal farm loan system. The successful operation of this system’ depends entirely ‘upon the market which is made ?€r the farm loan bond, and it is surely the duty of every good citizen to do everything in his power to broaden this market.” The communication and letter were sent to the flnance committee. Senate Rejécts Suffrage Bills. The senate concurred with the house in rejecting the woman suffrage bjlls, The municipal suffrage bill was re- Jected on a roll-call vote nineteen to thirteen while that for excise suffrage was rejected on a yea and nay vote.

Mr. Camp was driving the machine toward' Church street on Main sgreet, when Traffic Officer Atwater signalled to stop. Mr, Camp obeyed and in doing so his engine went ‘“dead.” When the officer’s order was given the driver started the'engine and instead of placing his foot on the clutch, he struck the accelerator, which caused the car to bound ahead. Mr Camp was completely surprised, and vainly tried to get the machine righted, but the car sped on uptil’ it met the building, where it stopped. Mrs. Babininski wag crossipng the street at the time, and;the car struck her a glancing blow, throwing her to one side. She was treated by Dr. F. W. Peck, and was later removed to her home in the police ambulance. Mrs. Christopson was attended by Dr. G. W. Dunn and was removed tb her home by Attorney M, H. Camp. n through the exciting ordeal Mrs. Christopson retained her composure. The iron sheathing on the. building shows plainly the terrific impact.of the car.

EXPECT FEW CHANGES Mayor Quigley Says He Will Reap- point Most Commissioners Whoso Terms Expire on May 1. Well pleased with the manner in which most of his commissioners have done their work during the past two years, Mayor G. A. Quigley has stated that in most almost every instance where the incumbent will accept re- appointment he will be named again the first of the "month. There are likely to be but few changes in the make-up of the bdards and commis- sions. Relardiny,vw safety board, which has lang been‘a thorn in the side of administrations, Mayor Quigley 1s reticent. He is evidentally waiting to see what the legislature does with the charter amendments, as if they are passed, as drawn up, the safety board will be split into a police and fire commission of four members each. The term of Chairman E. G. Babcock expires on May 1 and there is con- siderable speculation as to what will be done about his reappointment. In some quarters it is expected that Mr. Babcock will be reappointed to serve until the safety board is definitely di- vided and others feel that when the | board is split he will be given a place on the-fire commission. There is some comment too, to the effect that Frank T. Moran may be placed on either the police or fire commission and the fu- ture of H. M. Steele in reference to appointment is a question. A major- ity of the people who have followed politi¢s realize that possibly the mayor owes Mr. Steele something and it may be that the debt will be cancelled by naming him on the police commission. Throughout all the speculation, how- ever, the mayor maintains silence. The meyor has said he will reap- point John A. Anderson and Thomas D. Dolan as public works commis sioners and Dr. George W. Bodley will again be a health commissioner, where he will probably be chosen | chairman. e e HOME GUARD DRILL. Second Company Will Mect at State Armory This Evening. The Second company, New Britain Home Guard, will meet at the state armory this evening for the regular weekly drill. All members should at- tend as important instructions are to be given. Members of both Home Guard com- panies are much interested in the ulti- mate disposition of the Home Gu: companies since the military emer- gency board has announced that it will be impossible to arm and eauip all companies at present. According to the schedule, New Britain wil have but one equipped company ‘of sixty-five_men at present, but nothing official has been stated as to who will comprise this company. Also, sthe emergency board states there will be no official statement as to the selec- tion of companies and men, or as to the disposition of additional Home Guard companies until the - matter has been carefully investigated and a complete plan evolved. ; i HAMES’ LICENSE SUSPENDED. According to a communication to police headquarters from Secretary of State C. L. Perry, the motor ve- hicle operator’s license of William J. Hames of 27 Austin street has been indefinitely suspended- All street patrolmen have been so notified.

APRIL 25, 1917, SPRING HATS $2.50 to $3.50 NONTTIONS STIERS | IN'UPWARD BOUND |Several Close With ains of Four fo Six Points Wall Street—The setback after the opening proved of brief duration. Steel rebounded from its minimum of 111% t0 1133 and Utah copper led the met- als, advancing 23 points on announce- ment of many government purchases. Ohio Gas more than relieved its ioss of 2%. Bethlehem Steel new istock substituted a 1 point declire with a gain of almost, 2 points. The strength of marines caused hasty covering of shorgs in that group. Rails were in better demand, but tractions move uncertainly. Bonds were irregular. Cloring-—United States Steel, Beth- lehem Steel, Crucible Steel, Utah Cop- per and Alcohol were the s‘rongest features of the last hour at oxtréme gains of 4 to 6 points. The closing was strong.
