ON SALE IN ALL 5 STORES THE PASNIK COMPANY SELL FOR LESS Norwich, Willimantic, Putnam, Danielson and Westerly ——— REHEARING FOR THE SOUTHERN PACIFIC CO. Washington, July 31.—Execution of the_ supreme court order requiring the Southern Pacific company to divest it- self of ownership and control of the Central Pacige railway, would give re- troactive effeat to the Sherman anti- trust law and “create a new and un- triea eondition” in the management of the two roads, according to a brief filed today in support of a petition for a re- hearing of the case. Joint control and operation of the Southern and Central Paclfic properties, counsel for the defendants contended, had been in effect long before the law was enacted under which the legality of such control finally was attacked. Not only were the two roads *built, operated and controiled by the same persons.’ but the Southern Pacific was “constructed as a continuation” of the lines of the Central Paeific, and “to pre- vent duplication.” counsel argued, ada- ing that the “bullders proceeded upon the assumption that the lines would be operated together and through the fifty years of their existence the properties have never been other than a unified whole, made_up of integral parts which were the oufcome of a normal, natural growth.” COURT LENIENT BECAUSE OF EDITOR'S WAR RECORD Ware, July 31.—Four officers attached! o General John J.

" The alleged theft Ogulnick jeweiry store Street, ecarly Saturday evening. with his wife, ¢hild and another woman, came to Norwich from Jewett (City by automobile Saturday evening. They went to the Ogulnick * jewelry store where one of the women wanted to buy a signet ring. While the woman was making arrangements for engraving on the signet ring Mr. Ogulnick showed Azar a $500 diamond ring. Aszar put the ring on his finger and after the cus- tomers had left the store and driven away in the automobile the jewéler miss- ed the diamond ring he had shown to Azar was arrested shortly afterwards CHARLES F. WELLS HEADS HOME SERVICE DEPARTMENT Charles F. Wells, manager of the United Metals company, and president of the Norwich chamber of commerce, has been appointed chairman of the homie service department of the local chapter of the American Red Cross. Mr. Wells succeeds the late Dr. John S. Blackmar, who held the office for several years past. : It is the policy of the American Red Cross to carry on its peace time work as far as possible, through existing agen- cies that duplication of effort may be avoided. In accordance with this policy, home service work in Norwich, though financed and directed by the Red Cross, is being administered by the family wel- fare department of the Unitéd Workers, just as tuberculosis clinical and nursing work is done -for the tuberculosis cop- mittee by the public health nursing de- partment. With the war nearly four years past, it might seem that the service which the Red Cross can render the veteran and his family should long since have end- ed; on the contrary, the work is still in- creasing, though the character of it has largely changed from material ald to clerical. The greater part of the work fg themaking out of compensation claims which require a large amount of detailed information. There are cases of allot- ment or insurance or bonus not received, and cases of pensions or compensation for the relatives of men who have dled since their discharge from the service. There are cases for which state alid must be procured, and cases of transient ex-service men needing lodging or a meal or a temporary loan. The work of the local chapter would show a steady decrease but for the fact that two state institutions are within our territory. In the staté hospital for the insane and the state sanatorium there are fifty ex-service men from dif- ferent parts of Connecticut who are paying the toll of war in shell shock and tuberculosis. Home service offices all over the state keep in touch with these men through the Norwich chapter, and our obligation to them is one that cannot be denied and must not be for- gotten. The executive committee feels keen regret at the death of Dr. John 8. Blackmar, who has been a most efficient chairman of home service. PUBLIC SERVICE CAR DRIVER IS FINED Joseph Hoffs, well known as a public service car driver, was fined $5 in the New London city court Monday for tak- ing a Norwich bound passenger from Abe Davidson, another public service driver, at New London. Hoffs was ar- rested for violation of the city ordi- nance regulating jitneys and forbidding soliciting patronage outside certaln lim- its, at the public stand at the Union station in New London. Hoffs ig alleged to have taken a passemger away from Abe Davidson, by taking hold of the passenger's arm, as he was getting into Davidson's car, and urging the passen- ger to get into his car. The result was that Hoffs got the job of taking the pas- senger to Norwich. Hoffs stated that three jitney drivers were standing in a group at one end of the station platform when the passenger steppéd up to them and asked if he could be taken to Norwich. All three men sought the job and the passenger is alleged to have been about to step into Davidson's car when Hoffs, according to testimony offered by Leen Dellillo, took the passenger by the arm and landed him. Hoffs was fined $5. — s MANY GROURE IN CONNECTICUT WOODS Supt. John W, Titcomb of the fish and game commission states that there would be an abundance of grouse in the woods of the state for the hunting season which begins Qct. 8 and ends Nov. 23. Owing to the rainy weather there might be a scarcity of pheasants. Mr. Titcomb add- ed that there were few Hungarian par- tridges left in the state. From what he sald it wae evident that the efforts to propagate thege partridges have not been successful. They were first imported into this state in the hépe they would become acclimated some years ago during the administration of the old fish aifd game commission of three which preceded the commission made up of one from each county that was legislated out of exisl- ence at the session of 1921. Mr. Titcomb said further that the failure of Connecti- cut to propagate this partridge is the ex- perience of other states and that the mat- ter i# receiving the aftention of the fish and game officials whose field of activity takes in the entire country. The law restriots the number of grouse which may be shot in one day to three, and to 21 for the entire season. CONNECTICUT DINNER SERVED TO EDITORS A “Connecticut Dinner” in which ev- ery item on the ménu was grown or manufactured in the Nutmeg state, was served at Storrs Saturday to members of t he Connecticut Mutual Association, who were the guests of the Connecticut Agriculaural coliege.

The ring, which is now in the safe at the pollce station, is said to be valued at $500 and to be over a half carat in sige, Attorney ~Thomas M. Shields appeared for Azar and Attorney T. J. Kelly aided the state. One man paid $19.50 for intoxication and another was fined $5 and costs on a similar charge. DON'T EXPECT HARD COAL FOR ANOTHER MONTH One of the first orders issued by Gov- ernor Lake in connection with the dis. tributien of coal in a preferential man- ner, was issued Monday at the re- quest of the E, H. and 'A. H. Chappell company of New London, authorizing the Pocahontas Coal Co. and the Spring Coal Co. of New York to ship coal on government contracts to New London. This is In line with the announced policy of the federal,plan for distribution of coal for so long as there appears to be any danger of a shortage. 8o far as the Individual householder is concerned, the coal situation remains the same a8 it has for weeks. There is no egg, stove or nut sizes in the market and only a small amount of pea coal. The soft coal is coming in fairly well, ‘but the price has stiffened a bit. Dealers are not expecting to receive any hard coal for housenoids before an- other month and possibly six weeks.

Deni- {able for future fires created is a matter | forests” from which the dead wood has ' TO BE HELD THIS MONT The state forester has sent out an in vitation to a large number of woodland owners and others interested to attend | a forest fire conferénce at the state capitol on August 10th. The purpose of this meeting is to bring out suggestions for the improvement of the fire pre- vention organization. The past spring was one of the worst fire seasons since records have been kept. It was due to a combination of eircum- stances. In the first place when the ground was extremely dry there were several days, especially the last of April, when there was an unusually strong wind. Throughout the Connecticut woodlands there was a large number of chestnut trees which had been killed during recent years by the bark dis- ease. Most of the trees were still standing since they were too small to make ties, and were in a condition to burn ' feadily. Fire was easily carried by a strong wind into the tops of these trees and ran from one tree top to anoth- er. Theére were cases where sparks were carried across state highways, rivers and even reservoirs and started new fires at points far distant from where the men were fighting. Another factor which added to the heat of the fires this year in some sections, especially on the higher hills, was the large number of limbs and tree tops on the ground as the result of the ice storm last winter. Mr. Hawes states that there were 1,000 fires during the three months of March, April and May, whereas there were only 689 fires in the whole of last year. Seventy-nine thousand acres mostly of woodland were burned over. In fact, nearly five per cent. of all the woodland of the state was burned, some of it very severely. It Is these disas- trous although infrequent fire seasons which makes it fmpracticable for insur- ance companies to insure standing tim- ber. The total loss from these fires is conservatively estimated at half a mil- llon dollars, and with the exception of & small part represented by buildings and manufactured lumber, this is a net loss to the owners. It is the aim of the state forester to make timber propert: sufficlently safe so that it may eventu ally be insured at a fair rate, and the purpose of the coming meeting is to di cuss methods of improving the efficiency of the fire prevention org&nization both by legislation and otherwise. Woodland owners who are especlally interested in this problem are invited to attend and make suggestions. The discussion will be on the follow- ing general topice: Means of Decreas- ing the Fire Menace; Reaching Fires Immediately ; Methods of hting Fire and Fire Fighting Bquipment. Tt was noticeable that some of the worst and most destrouctive fires of the season occurred on areas which had re- cently been cut clean. A public nui ance had been virtually created by this slash, for fires once under way in such a situation could not be stopped at the boundary lot and damaged many other owners. The most expensive fire of the season, which cost the state and New Haven county $861 to extinguish gained head- way in this way on a large area recently cut over by one of the brass companies Whether large forest areas are w be fe- stroyed in this way and conditions sult- for the people of the. state to declde. Much can be done through state appro- priations in the purchase ot additional fighting equipment, but it is practically impossibleto prevent these destructive fires, so long as large areas of dry slash are created. As everywme knows, fires burn’ very slowly through well managed been removed“and the proper distribu- tion of beits of clean forest would doubtless do much to eliminate these disastrous fires. Thée enforcement of existing laws wift also be discussed at the meeting. ‘Lnir- ty-three convictions were secured during the past season but in most cases the fines imposed by the justices were only $5 or $10. In view of the destruction of hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of property these fines are insignif- jcant. Until the judicial branch of the state government appreciates the seri- ousness of these fires, and the impossi- bility of building up good forests as long as they occur, it will be difficult to prevent them. Indications are that the proposed meat- ing will bring out some interesting ais- cussion and will be well worth attend- ing.
