PROFESSOR LEVITT SPURS TO ACTIVITY Professor Albert Levitt of Read- ing has indicated to New Britain- ites dissatisfied with power rates what to do about ob- | taining relief in the form of more rcasonable charges. | At the same doubt whether the recommended | appeal to the Public Utilities Com- | mission for a hearing would be of | much value. ! i clectric and | time he instills a Richard T.

Hearings of one sort or another in the past have generally been won by the public utility interests with the aid of law- | vers reminding one of the reputed | breed in Philadelphia who can make | two and two look like five. The utili- | ties, in an emergency like a hearing, seem prepared to expend unlimited fees for the kind of legal talent they need. Who does not remember the hear- ings when local commuting rates on the New Haven were being threshed out. The utility lawyers had nearly | as many statistical charts, blueprints and the like as there are ties along the railroad tracks. The cost of defendins at hearings usually is included in operating ecxpenses. We that, so far as the P. U. C. is con- cerned, that makes no difference. | themselve suppose | the first that if Demon | will do more than any other single | man in the state.to purge both the = | aides, | ot | the wondertul economic advantages | telegrams which told of the “eco- NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, THURSDAY, MARCH 6, prohibition drive; as unjustified as the claim that bootleggers, rum run- ners and liquor racketeers are be- hind the 18th Amendment, the Vol- stead Act, the Anti-Saloon League and the W.

But if he continues long enough in his campaign of education he possibly protitable status quo. P. U. C. of utility-minded members and the Legislaturc of Rorabackian |T. U. official that Mayor Paonessa polled only the larger cities and towns, not “every city and town” in the state—which apparently means that the Mayor didn’t poll all the country places. The charge, however, is not made that the Mayor did not poll the cities and towns representing the largest population in the state. If only the “rotton borough system” pre- vailing in the election of members to the Legislature is to prove the extent of prohibition sentiment, then such “sentiment” will not be representative of the state’s popu- lation. The W. C. T. U. ought to feel sat- fsfied that a prohibition referendum is in process of being taken fn Connecticut, as well as in the other states, one which will reach a fair slice of the state’s inhabitants. 1f the drys win this referendum lst the W.

C. would be to ac- celerate this campaign of education, even if the Commission, in its pecu. liar wisdom, voted all the points to the utilities. What is of prime im- portance in the state is wide pub- licity regarding existing conditions. and if that can be secured through hearings before the P. U, C., we are for the hearings regardless of their outcome. One way to shake the confidence of the state's utilities in the justice their rate structure is to harass them continually under the leadership of public-spirited men like the Redding professor. He en- joys it; and ultimately, when the campaign of education has proceed- ed far enough, there will likely be some necessary changes. AMERICAN PROSPERITY AND PROHIBITION As was anticipated, prohibition advocates beforo the Congressional committes turned to opinions about | of the noble experiment. ning MR.

They were pleased to state, | that the manufacture of home brew did not run into much money, thus bearing out their con- tention that money is being spent for prohibition. There is a report on prosperity un- | der the noble experiment that will not be read by the prohibition forces before the Congressional committee. 1t is from “recent valuable work” of Dr. Paul H. Nystrom, en- titled “Economic Principles of Con« sumption. The paragraphs we are about to | quote are culled from a press notice | sent out by the Chain Store Age, in reply to the recent charge in the siderable manufacture It was less than a week ago that physicians *“gave up hope” for the survival of the former President. | But the jovial gentleman fooled them most pleasantly; indeed it is a pleasure to everyone to realize that Mr. Taft has declined to depart from | the land of the living.

Bartley Madden Loses Balamce on Treasury Steps Washington, March 6 (P—A fall of 20 feet from the steps of the treasury building during a sight- secing trip here brought to an enl the career of Barlley Madden, 41 gy vear old Irish heavyweight, who be- came famous for his staying quali- ties against championship contend- ers. Madden died in a hospital here last night, a few hours after he hal accidentally stepped off the incline. He had stopped for a day in the capital on his way to New York, from Miami, where he had attend- ed the Sharkey-Scott fight. He came to the United States as holder of the Irish heavyweight championship and was considered a possibility for the world’s heavy- weight title. While he was not successful in his ambition, prior to 1917 there were few Americans in his weight who could knock Mad- den down, and in later years he has stood up against all of the heavy- weight aspirants at one time or an- other. Recently he was character- ized by Gene Tunney as one of the two gamest fighters the former champion had ever met.
