Many inquiries from business con- cerns have been received by the de- ‘partment of justice and will be re- ferred to the commission. Members of the commission, however, indicated today that they feel the act does not place any such duty upon them and that they would be physically unable to consider forms of contracts or sell- ing contracts which hundreds of com- panies might submit for approval. The commission is required by law to aid the department of justice in disentangling the affairs of a corpor- ation where violation of law has been disclosed by investigation. Its respon- sibility in that regard, however, is lim- ited to advice after the fact, and the commissioners have determined, it is sald, that it would be impossible to interpret it in advance, at the request of a corporation in a special instance, the regulations for the government of interstate concerns which it will pro- mulgate. The commissioners today continued their organization conferences. It was sald that many corporations volun- tarily were complying with the terms and spirit of the new law by altering forms of contracts and agreements, TRANSFER OF GOVERNMENT MONEY IN NATIONAL BANKS With a View to Redepositing It Later in Federal Reserve Banks, ‘Washington, March 18.—Transfer of some of the government money now on deposit In national banks, to the reasury with a view to re-depositing it later in federal reserve banks, has been begun by direction of Secretary McAdoo.

Kelly of New London, formerly of this city. As Mr. Kelly has a great many friends among the members of the local coun- cil it is expected that there will be a large attendance of the members to greet him. Arrangements are to be made for an exemplification of the first degree at an early date. Because of the Lenten devotions it has been arranged to open the meeting half an hour later than usual. or. of Preached Sermon at Prayer Meeting At the prayer meeting on Thursday evening at the Central Baptist church, Joseph~ W. Carlevale, who s the leader of a service that s conducted on Sunday mornings in Italian at Bushnell “chapel, preached a sermon from the text Galatians 4.4; In the fulness of ‘time God sent forth His Son. It is expected that Mr. Carlevale may Dbe licensed to preach by the church and according to the usual custom he was given the opportunity to deliver a sermon before the church He was heard with much pleasure and satisfaction by those who are interest- ed in his work, rst Scoop of Smelts, For years James J.

Treasury officials explaineq tonight that the transfers to date have been from banks which had more government money than they could use under present conditions. ‘When the plan for transfer of funds to Teserve banks was broached last fall several members of the federal reserve board were understood to have indicated their objection unless such funds were distributed throughout the system. The understanding is, how- ever, that when the distribution is made, probably several weeks hence, all the banks will be considered. In addition to the funds now in na- tional banks the treasury can deposit possibly $100,000,000 more which is now in its. vaults ‘or in treasury offices out- side of Washington. Possibly $20, 00000 or 32500000 would be kept ere. FIRE IN RUBBISH PILE BACK OF PINEHURST. Meant Night Job For Department Drenching the Pil in The fire department was called out 8t 445 Thursday afternoon for a fire amons the rubbish dumped back of Pinehurst on ‘Washington street which also 'set/fire to a fence and a tool house on the Pinehurst property which is the residence of Col.

Chiet Stanton had the Falls company stay there through the early part of the night with 800 feet of hose out from which they kept a stream of water on the pile. It is believed that a bonfire started by, boys was to blame for the fire, SKYLIGHT ROUTE IN MANHATTAN STORE BURGLARY. Same Method of Entrance as at’ Store Break. The mystery of how the burglars who cracked the safe at the Man- hattan store recently got into the building has been solved by finding out that they got into the building through the skylight, which was the same method as that adopted by the burglars at the United Cigar store last Monday morning. To get at the roof of the Manhat- tan building they went up through the ‘Ward building on Market street, WEDDING. Mackelroy—Henry, Frank A. Mackelroy of Hartford and Miss Delia M.

Mr. Mackelroy is a native of Glasgow and is the son of Frank B. Two committees of the state legis- lature—the committee on appropria- tions and the committee on humane institutions—were visitors in this city on Thursday on an inspection trip prompted by business that these com- mittees have to dispose of concerning matters relating to _appropriations which have been asked for some of the institutions located. Those who came made up the whole membership of the committees as fol- Tows: Committee on Appropriations—Sen- ator Robert V. Magee, Watertown, chairman; Senator Edward E. King, East_Hartforq_house chairman, Rob- ert O. Eaton, New Haven clerk, Na- thaniel R. Bronson, Waterbury: Rep- resentatives Clifford W. Leavenworth, Wallingford; Albert H.

Morton, Saybrook; clerk, William E. Haven, Reddins; Repre- sentatives Edward L. Mitchell, South- bury Charles F, Ward, Fast Windsor; Edmuna S. Backus, Thompson; Wal- ter A. Allen, Willington; Frederick N. Taylor, Lebanon; John L. Hitchcack, Hartland; Benjamin Brown, Norfolk; John Brown, Orange: Warren C. Hub- bell, Huntington. companying them on the trip were Serfator John H, Barnes, Representa- tives Joseph H. Henderson and Albert J. Bailey of this city, Representatives Eckford B, Pendletén and Willlam B. Titchell of Preston, and Representa- tives Clarence E. Palmer and Lyle C. Gray of North Stonington. At State Hospital, Their visit was made first to the Norwich state hospital,which most of them reached by the 13.10 train, arriv- ing at the station at Fort Point, where they were met by automobiles from the hospital and - taken around the grounds, visiting the Gallup farm, which the hospital owns, the reservoir system and the barns. On their tour of inspection they were accompanied by Dr. H. M, Pollock, superintendent of the hospital, and by Trustees Costello Lippitt and Dr. C. E. Stark and Judge Nelson J. Ayiing, the_treasurer, When the inspection trip was com- pleted, a fine luncheon was served in the employes’ dining room with the following men: Oysters on the Half Shell Olives Celery Cream Tomato Soup, Thin Wafers Roast Chicken French Peas Potato Creamed Lettuce Salad Frozen Pudding Coffee Cigarettes Ginger Ale When the luncheon was over, about 215 o'clock, Trustee Lippitt spoke of the pleasure it was to have the legis- laiors visit the institution and an- nounced that the chairmen of the two committees had consented to hold the hearings right on the spot, and he asked Dr. Pollock to explain the needs for the various appropriations asked. Dr. Pollock laid special emphasis upon the appropriation asked for im- proving the water supply and in the course of his remarks about the possi- bility of establishing a_small farm for inebriates he mentioned that the state hizhway commission was much inter- ested in this and would favor employ- ing the labor of such as might be committed to the farm on the highway to be built between Norwich and Grcton, What the Norwich state hospital would like to have appropriated was explained on typewritten sheets which were distributed to the committee members. These outlined the needs of the institution as follows: The Gallup Farm. Should it be decided by the com- mittees on humane institutions and on appropriations that on account of the needs of the existing state institutions it was wisest to defer the establish- ment of a state farm for inebriates, the buildings on this farm could be fitted up at a comparatively small ex- pense for the accommodation of some 35 or 40 men of this class. Thus the experiment of caring for these indi- viduals on a state farm could be tried for two years without committing the state to a definite policy. The only change that would be re- quired in the existing statutes would be that of granting to the probate and city courts the right to commit such a number of these persons to the Nor- wich state hospital as the hospital was able to receive. The estimated expense of remodeling and furnishing these bulldings and providing _clectric_lights, sewer and water would be $3,000; $2,000 should also_be appropriated for stock, tools, machinery, etc. Nq appropriation for maintenance would be necessary. Water Supply. After an extensive experimentation with deep wells, it has been concluded that the only manner in which the hospital can secure an adeguate and economical water supply is by raising its present dam. The hospital now secures its water from four deep wells and a brook with a drainage area of approximately one square mile. On this brook has been constructed a re: ervoir of five and one-half million gal- lons capacity. The hospital requires for domestic purposes 150,000 gallons of water each 24 hours. This reser- voir when no water flows into it from the brook will supply the entire re- quirement of the hospital for only 35 days. The brook has furnished prac- tically no water for a period of more than 90 days at a time. This storage supply has been supplemented with the yield from the deep wells. In spite of operating the wells to thelr full ca- pacity both day and night, beginning as soon as the water ceased to flow over the flashboard of the dam, it has been impossible to supply the institu- tion with sufficlent water. Were the dam raised 12 feet, 30,000,000 gallons of water could be impounded. The coet of ralsing the dam has been care- fully estimated to be $14,500. In addi- tion to this, would be required such a and Mary A. Giblin Mackelroy. He is 2 widower and is employed as a ma- chinist in Hartford. Mrs. Mackelroy is the daughter of George R. and Julia C.

Hull returnei to his home in New London Weanesday night from a week’s sojourn at Lake part of an appropriation of 35,500 as might be found necessary to obtain land not now owned by the hospital and which would be flowed by raising the dam and which should also be ac- quired to protect the watershed. If this appropriation is granted, it should not be divided as above, as the amount of the appropriation made for acquir- ing the land might be taken as an in- dex of its value. The greatest single need that the hospital now has is an adequate water LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEES GUESTS Made Inspection Visits to State Hospital, Backus Hos/pital, Winslow Williams’ Property and Tuberculosis San- atorium—DBoard of Trade Committee Escorts Party Around in Automobiles—Appropriations From Legisla- ture are Wanted—Apparently Favorable Impressions Were Made on Legislators. Shacks for Tubercular Patients. It is unlawful to care for any per- son suffering from tuberculosis in an almshouse, yet the Norwich state hos- pital is unable to segregate those who suffer from tuberculosis on admission or acquire it at varying times there- after. Certainly the state's employe: and the state's Insane are as worthy of protection as the towns' paupers. An appropriation of $16,000 would be necessury to provide and equip & building for the care of 30 tubercular patients. s Cottage for Married Employes. The hospital has at present no ac- commodations for married employes (employes where the husband and wife are both in the employ of the hospi- tal) other than over its laundry build- ing. This space over the laundry building shouid be taken for a sewing room, now occupying much needed space in the laundry proper, as well as for other industrial purposes (tailor shop, shoemaker shop, industrial teacher) and a cottage for married em- ploves ‘erected. An appropriation of 319,500 would enable the hospital to previde quarters for 40 employes, Cottage for Contagious Diseases. The hospital mow has no piace for the care of thbse who may be af- ficted with a contagious disease. The old office building situated in the rear of the laundry building could be re- moved to a more distant part of the grounds and temporarily used for this purpose if, as originally planned, the second story of the kitchen building were completed and used for the hou ing of the kitchen and bakery employes who now occupy the old officg build- ing. The removal and remodeling of the old office building and the completion of the second story over a portion of the kitchen would require an appro- priation of $9,000. Cottage for Assistant Superinterdent. The present staff house was pian- ned to give accommodation to the hos- pital staff employed at the time of its erection with the idea of providing quarters for the assistant superin- tendent ang married members of the staff in buildings to be later built. Since the erection of the staff house the number of patients has materially increased necessitating an added num- ber of physicians. The assistant superintendent's quarters are restricted and he has a wife and one child. 36,000 should be appropriated for the erection and fur- nishing of this building. Porches North and South Wards B. Quite extensive repairs must of ne- cessity be made to the flooring and guards_of the porches on North and South Wards B. These are at present too narrow to permit of bed patients being properly cared for upon them. They should be replaced with wider porches of concrete. $12,000 will be required for this purpose. Hydrotherapeutic Equipment. The hospital is lacking in hydro- therapeutic facilities. The modern treatment of patients suffering from acute forms of mental disease as well as those chronically disturbed, re- quires the employment of continuous baths and other hydrotherapeutic measures. Continuous baths should be employ- ed spasmodically, but as their name implies, continually, both day and night, and_often for several days at a time. Under our present arrange- ment this is impossible. It is also essential that the selected tempera- ture of the water should be constant- ly maintained, necessitating the in- stallation of automatic controls. Other- wise injury rather than benefit may accrue. Al modern hospitals for the insane are supplied with a complete hydrotherapeutic equipment. To in- stall the necessary baths and appli- ances in the baséments of our hos- pital wards would require an expen- diture of $6,000. Hot Water Supply and Return Main: Galvanized pipes were employed for conveying the hot water for domestic purposes from our power house to Wards A and B. Later installations have been made with brass pipe. These galvanized malns and. returns have been frequently repaired, but have now deteriorated to such an extent as to render further repair almost impos- sible. These should be renewed with brass—or preferably, on account of its comparative cheapness—lead lined pipe. This would require an appro- priation of $5,014 for mains, addition- al heater and circulating pumps. Additional Ward Buildings. On the female side there will be with our new buildings occupied normal ac- commodations for but twenty addition- al patients. It will require at least a year and a half before any added accommodations can be provided, meanwhile the insane women will in- crease at least one hundred and fifty. On the male side we will have with the Ward F occupied only fifty beds in excess of our normal capacity; con- sequently, provisions for not less than two hundred additional insane patients should be made at this or somgq other similar institution. This will raquire an appropriation of $120,000. Furnishings for Amusement Hall. An appropriation of $1,960 is re- quired for the purpose of properly fur- nishing our amusement hall, Extension of Sewers and Water Mains, $1,800 will be required for the neces- sary extension of sewer and water mains.

Automobiles for this trip ‘were in waiting, as the Board of Trade com- mittee had secured from their owners the free use of the following automo- biles for the afternoon: those of Allyn L. Brown, Carl DelCarlo, James L. Case, Dr. Henry M. Pollock, Archibald Mitchell, Oliver L. Johnson, Thomas A. Robinson, Walter F. Lester, Arch: bald S. Spalding and Walter E. Can- 5 field. In these automobiles were rep- resentatives from tne Board of Trade respectively as follows: John J. Cor- kery, Shepard B. Palmer, James Mac- pherson, William B. Young, Mayor T. C. Murphy, Albert W. Lillibridge, Frank J. King, Edwin_ Hill, Frederic W. Cary and Joseph D. Haviland At Backus Hospital. At the Backus hospital, Winslow T. Williams and Frank L. Woodard of the board of trustees and F. Leon Hutch- ins greeted the visitors and showed them the present dormitory dations. An addition to th for and a bill providing for an appr priation of $15,000 has been presented to the legisiature to erect this addition hich will accommodate two-thirds as ny more nurses than at present. There will be 18 rooms if the present plans are carried out. The addition is to be rected on the south of the present home and to compare in architecture to the present home and have two stories and a basement. The visitors were greatly impressed with the cleanliness and good order of the hospital, remarking most favor- ably upon these two points. To Williams Place at Yantic. From the hospital the automobile party went on to Yantic to see | Winslow T. Willilams. place, which is! offered as a site to which to transfer the state school for imbeclles which now located at Lakeville, but is to be moved from there. Mr. Willlams accompanied the com- mittees to his place and its vantages and fine adaptability for the srhool were pointed out. The commit- tecmen seemed \ery favorabiy pressed and commented admirix what they had seen there. To Tuberculosis Sanatorium. From_Yantic a quick ru to the Norwich tuberculosis sanatorium where Dr. D, R. Lyman of Walll nd Jonath Godfrey of Bridge- , members of the state tuber nmission, and Dr. Hugh B.

Smith and Franklin Rumford, have recently been victims by a_ foreigner by the same scheme of ordering =2 considerable bill of goods, amounting to $10 or over, on the plea that it was provisions for a christening. In each case he asked that the goods be sent to an address on North Main street where payment for the whole bill would be made when the goods were delivered. Before leaving the store he would suggest that he would take a few of the things with him as they were needed in advance of the main part of the order. In this way he would secure about $2 worth and when the delivery cler karrived at the ad- dress he would be either unable to find any such number on the street or elst the people at the house knew nothing about the order.
