HITS AT SERVICE *ON BERLIN INE Trallc Bureaw Hears Critiism 01 Motor' Busses — A charge that the: bus service of the Connecticut Co. between here and Berlin is very bad Wwas made by E. O, SBheridan at the meeting of the traffic bureau of the Chamber of Commerce held in the Burritt ho- tel this noon. Mr, Sheridan, who is a resident of Berlin, said that the huses are small and fal} to keep on any schedule. He lald the crowding to the fact'that the commuters from KKensington prefer to take the buses, which run express as far as the rall- road station, rather than the trolley cars, which make stops on the way; this, he said, often so filled the buses that the commuters from further along the line were unable to ride, The concensus of opinion of the bu- reau was that' the-independent bus companies were keeplng on set schedules and thatsthe Connecticut (0. line should be made to do simi- larly, L J. ¥, Atwater moved that a com- mittee of three be appolnted to look into this matter and find out if the | Luses ran on schedule, also to as- | certain whether or not the company intended to put larger buses on the line, The motion was passed, and Chairman L: 8. Cowles appointed B. IX. Burr, Mr, Sheridan and Mr, Tay- ior to serve on the committee, It was reported that the New laven road had granted the local bureau's request for another unload- ing platform at the freight station and that the car capacity there will soon be doubled, It was reported that New Britain had raised about £1,000 toward the hiring of counsel y the New England Traffic league n its fight against proposed freight ate Mcreased, and that the hear- ings before the commission will be- «in in Washington on February 4.

H By The Assoclated Pres Moscow, Jan. 20.—The Russian people learned of Leon Trotzky's po- litical humiliation and dismissal as war minister only today through the bolshevik press, which devoted great space to the events which led up to Trotzky's downfall, The sittings of the gentral execu- tive committee of the communist party which deposed Trotzky were kept strictly secret, and no word concerning the drastic character of the resolution passed against Trotzky was permitted to leak out until after the text was given to the government news agency. The announcement has beem, re- ceived by the public with complete calm and apparent indifference. It had long becn understood that the higher powers of the communist party would take severe disciplinary rieasures against the offending head of the red army, although it was scarcely anticipated that they would dismiss him from the war ministry. Still Hope to Save Sub Aground Off Mass. Coast Boston, Jan. 20.—Hope of saving the submarine S-19 which went aground a week ago on the outer har of Orleans harbor on the Cape Cod coast appeared brighter today when the naval tug Wandank which is standing by the stranded vessel, re- ported to the navy yard here that the S-19 had apparently moved slightly from her sandy bed high | on the tide of the early morning. | The message from the tug said that conditions appeared ideal for refloating the submarine. The Wandank was awaiting after- noon flood tide to make another effort to free her from the bar. STORE—_THE BIC STORE—THE BIG STORE—THE BIG MICHIGAN LOSES SUIT.
