Official Traces History of Industry From Inveation of 1831 Chester Seymour of the Ensign- Bickford Co. of Simsbury gave an interesting talk on the manufacturc of safety fuses at the weekly meet- ing of the Exchange club last eve ning at the Burritt Hotel. The speaker was introduced by Albert Scripture. His talk, in part, was as follows: “Safety fuses were first invented by William Bickford in 1831 at jCornwall. Miners in that time used to charge up a hole with black powder and lay a string of powder about a yard long from the hole. This string was lighted and used as ed from this crude method which gave the men little time to get out of the mine In time to escape in- Jury from the blast. Bickford then invented the safety fuse which is still in use today. The fuse con- sists of a powder core which is cov- ered with a coat of woven yarn. The compound used in the fuse is water- proof. A fuse used for metal min- ing burns at the rate of a yard every 90 seconds while some burn 120 seconds. This is governed by the composition of the powder used in the fuse. ‘“In 1914 a special fuse was in- vented for use in blasting. This type is mainly used in stone quarries. These fuses burn so fast that it is almost impossible to follow their course with the naked eye. Speed 118 necessary in stone blasting be- cause of the enormous pressure needed to blast rock. Tn blasting one pound of powder will loosen 400 pounds of rock.” SMITH AND FULLER (Continued from First Page) states to make their own definitions as to what constituted intoxicating liquor. The proposal was carried by & vote of approximately 3 to 1. “In the meanwhile,” continued the governor, “there devolves upon “Jtha state the sacred cuty of sustain- ing the 18th amendment and the Volstead law. They are as much a part of the laws of this state as our own statutes and our own constitu- tion, In fact, the constitution of the United Btates itself decides that document and the laws made pursu- ant to it to be the supreme law of the land and the judges in every state bound thereby, anything in the constitution and the laws of any state to the contrary notwithstand- ing. . State Police Force , “Aside from the limited number of policemen who patrol the sparse ly settled scctions of the state, th state's police power is delegated and we find it exercised in the first in- sheriffs and deputy sheriffs, and the police officials of the cities, I speak only the truth when 1 say that the people of any locality get the degree of law enforcement upon which they insist and for which they are willing to pay. “As far as I am concerned, in obedience to my oath to sustain the constitution of the United States, I have repeatedly promised the people that so far as it lies in my power |the constitutional or statute law, I | will remove from office upon proper proof being presented, any public of- ficial charged with laxity in enforce- ment of the law. Obedience to law is the foundation stone upon which the structure of government rests. Uniform enforcement, uniform obc- djence is necessary to preserve the Law enforcement must of necessity begin with arrest. Too many misin- formed people look for detailed en- forcement from the head rather than from the root of police power. Suggests Amendment “Inasmuch as the federal govern- ment leaves the state frec in its choics of approval or disapproval of amendments to the constitution, I would suggest amendment to our own constitution in this state, to the end that no future amendments to the federal constituton be acted upon | by state statute to the people. We have the strange situation in this| state today that we require a vote | of the people to amend our own| constitution, but the liberty enjoyed | by our people during all of our na- | tional life can be abridged overnight | by a bare majority vote of the elect- | cd representatives in both houses of | the legislature. I believe that this | situation has gone as far as any one | thing to arouse the indignation of great groups of people. The will of the majority 1s a fundamental | no compromise. When the people | have thus spoken, that is the end recommendations for legislation. He | renewed his recommendation for an | amendment to the state constitution | providing for a four, year term for | governor ,and lleutenant governor, with elections held between presi- dentlal elections. The last legisla- ture, dominated by republicans, sub- mitted such an amendment but amended it to provide for the elec- tion on presidential years. . The gov- ernor took the stump against it and the amendment was overwhelmingly defeated. | For the third successive year, the | governor recommended abolishment of the state census. The last state onducted by Mrs. Florence E. 8. Knapp, republican secretary of state, was made the subject of an inquiry by the state on account of charges of irregularities. The find- ings in that investigation have not yet been handed down. Los Angeles, Jan. 4 —UPM—A suit charging breach of contract brought by Frank A.

He dealt with the problem extensively. “A state fails in fts duty to agriculture which merely enforces the regulatory sta- tutes relating to the safe-guarding of its food supply,” he said. “The state, by wise and prudent policies, should foster and upbuild agricul- ture and consider the full well-heing of those engaged in it." agricultural Gov. Fuller's Message Boston, Jan. 4 (®—The Sacco- | Vanzetti agitation of last summer nd the depression in the textile in- try were reflected today in the annual message of Gov. Alvan T. Fuller in which he recommended ichanged judiclal procedure to allow ithe supreme court greater latitude in reviewing capital cases. and made la plea for strict governmental |economy and tax reduction. | Referring to the celebrat {in which he declined to intervene lafter an exhaustive personal inyesti ation assisted by three eminent citi- |zens, the governor said: | “A plan that will place our courts in the position to take and hold con- |trol of capital cases, from their be- 1 ZInning to their ultimate conclusion, |and which will make certain that the governor will not be compelled to cencounter the difficulties which wer. forced upon him in the year 1427 by the zealous defenders of persons convicted of first degree murder, should be formulated and made ef- fective by appropriate legislation. One Possible Way “One way in which these things lcan be accomplished is pointed out 1n the recent report ‘of our judicial council: | *‘In a capital case the entry in {the supreme judicial court shall unsfer to that court the whole case |for its consideration of the law and and the court may or: v |the evidence, |verdict was against the law or the weight of the evidence, or for any |other reason that justice may re- iqulrl‘.' | Continuing, the governor said, “The remedies the pointed out could provide no fairer nor mors painstaking and considerate review |than was granted in the rccent mur- der cases before me. “Neither our supreme judicial court nor any other tribunal acting las a court of appeal, could be ex- pected, in any to interview, personally, all witnesses and juro and the host of other interested per. sons, as was done at that time. Crime Prevention “In this connection I repeat tl {for the prevention of crime general Iy, we have to rely principally on justice. swift and sure, and that he criminaliy inclined must be made to understand that it is well-nigh cer- tain that any criminal acts on their | pdrt are sure to be found out and quickly punishied and that no poli- {ticw, nor money, nor influence, nor |organized demonstration can help [them to aveid the consequences of | their crimes.” The governor praised the work of sted him in the ; fine an ex- ¢d unselfish pub- secn during |the men who a [view of the |ample of d |lic service |my administration.” | Turning to the financial situation, lthe exccutive promised a reduction |of the state tax in his budget for I1925. | “We have had during these past Imm» years a businesslike mlmmin-’ tration of the state’s affairs.
