The arrest of Trenor A, Rice on a charge of murder, dramatic as it was considering that he had been one of the intimate friends of County De- tective William E. Jackson and was one of the bearers who lifted the | body to its grave, is overshadowed by the suicide of Mrs. Jackson and the note she left exonerating Rice, saying she herself slew her husband,, and that she had a “good reason” for doing so. Writers of fiction could scarcely conceive of a more plot. Rice, confronted with the neces- sity of proving his innocence, at least | was faced with the possibility of be- ing executed. A man’s life hung in the balance, and had-there been no following developments Connecticut would have seen another spirited trial at law, with a background of niteh circumstantial evidence. Now ai entirely new set of eircumatances the state, a note in the randwriting of Mrs. Jackson and written just “before she decided to Low to the stings of conscience and fucos flce the scene forever. ‘The fiction writer would place this in the last chapter and end his tale with the release of Rice. That at lcast seems the logical ending. The | niore refined and subtle writer would string it out a little longer, provid- ing & trial in which the validity of | the death note werc attacked and an attempt made to prove that Mrs. Jackson was not at the scene at the | time of the murder; and then would be & pulse-hastening jury scene, contending stalwarts at the bar, and then a final verdict to surprise the reader and send him off to bed con- fident that such things could only happen between the covers of books. Whether the drama is soon to be over or whether the more extended route is to be traveled remains in doubt as this is written, The chief result, so far as the public mind is concerned, probably will be that opinions regarding the case, formed upon a basis of newspapeg reading, will be more open to flux and change. Conjecture over the dence in the case is gencral and the suspicion abroad is that, while Mrs Jackson might have known of the shiooting. her hand did not actually |'© be the sole beneficiaries. This | speed the bullet on its way. Her note, its contents still unknown to us. may. of course, definitely clear Rice by the introduction of some evidence as to an alibi or some Tackson murdered her husband and beyond the mere asscrtion that she did 80 because she had plenty of reasons for the act.

The last | time the lake hounded from its con purpose of acquainting himself with assistance, I Lake Okeechober |fines 2,000 people were drowned— | which was vastly more human toll | than that exacted by the Mississippi | | flood. Florida is frankly baffied. Tts posi- | tion is that the prevention of a simi- lar catastrophe in the future is as much the business of the national | government as it is of Florida. The 12,000 people who met death when |the waters inundated the region were American citizens, Florida officials declare with emphasis. Muscle Shoals is a project to pro- |vide power and nitrates; Boulder Dam is one to provide irrigation and power. Both these are important, | but materialistic. An engineering feat | that would harness Lake Okeecho- 'hee would not enly provide arable | | 1and. but would save life. Mr. Hoover | is fond of cnginecring feats.

Before the wave of | [ small-city hotel construction et in it was universally rccognized that! nothing reacted so much against &' city’s reputation as to lack an out- | standing hotel capable of catering to | the finest trade. | iy In b majority of cascs it was found | impossible to interest hotel com- panics in such enterprises. The only time a hotel company becomes inter- ested In a city is when the prospect tor dividends is not only good but so good that there is not the lightest Ggoubt about it. Where the ! outlook was for a long pull before | | profits could be ! struction of worthy hotels was 1cft ta local very realized the con- philanthropists, usually com- posed of business felt the need and men who keenly were willing to wssist such an enterprise with sub- seriptions of stock.

There was not 1uch opportunity for 1oss in the case of a lea could be arranged as favorable as vossible.

The ' | building was crected because the city | | necded a hotel of the highest type | and hotel concerns in the business. realizing the difficulties that would icset such an enterprise and not be ‘ing philanthropists, did not fecl in- ! clined to provide a place of such | standards. | Ultiniately the plan will work out !although the first ten ycars may be | the hardest, The fact that there were | | fewer rooms rented the past year !than the year before may not mean much; merely that the hotel business | | has reflected general business con- | | ditions to some extent. And while everal restaurants have met with financial difficultics the cating Lusi- inw!s at the Burritt has increased. We doubt whether many of those | who backed the Burritt building en- terprise ure sorry for their mani- | festation of public spirit. After all. | public spirit is momething of which | a city cannot possess too much; and building the hotel in the firet place | was nothing less than an exemplifi- cation of this civic attribute, 1 THE STATE BOARD | The Bridgeport Post wants to | know “When do they begin to edu- | cate the state board of education?” | And all because, based on the num- ber of school children in the cities, the board concludes that Hartford | has a larger population than Bridge- port—whereas Iridgeport wmost school children.

It was Souvenir Night at the Charity Bail. Down ribbone aisles, balloon> | with carnival, fled hordes of clowns and dancing girls; beneath the bai- cony, Plerrette in scarlet slippers and Columbine romped nolsily on the stajrs. In the center of the floor General Washington danced ana- chronistically with Mrs. Potiphar, Coburn, the novel arrayed 8 one of the Sheiks of Araby, watched the spectacle with eager eyes. He was to do a column of “sidelights” for this newspaer. From time to time, in the futervals of hilarity, he watched the activities of a lonely fig- ure at the back of the hall—a man in the plainest of garb, strangely out of place in the joyous, reeling throng. A melancholy man of in- ferior presente, who looked on with uncamprehending eyes, eyes alter- nately apathetic and disconsolate, bewildered and contemptuous, The stranger did not dance; instcad, he strode sometimes savagely, some:- times wearily, across the rear of the hall, Once, Coburn saw the man's eyos tight with a smile at the glance of a passing girl, thea sadness settled again over the face. What concei able emotion had brought so un- couth a figure to this scenc of froth and sparkle? The wonderment grew in Coburn’s mind until it became an obscssion. Behind that uomasked countenance, he was surc, Jurked the wound of sgme poignant, unforgot- ten tragedy, some bitterness of soul that cried for sympathy and expres- alon. At length, Coburn could stand it no longer. “My poor fellow,” he proaching, mask in hand, ‘“some- thing is tearing at your heart. Wou you tell me about it? Perhaps | can help.
