At that convention an enormous amount of work devolved upon the president in bringing about the conditions that. prevail today, and for that reason the convention felt the president should receive II little more salary than the others; conse- quently he was given $300 more.

Url- 7 Telephone Peo’pls Determined Mllway Shall Not Operate a System interfering With Their Business Numerous postponements have been tirade by the New Haven road in the opening of its electric train service betWeeII Stamford and Woodlawn. The cause, has occasioned more. than'usuul comment among those interested in this cw motive povrer for passenger trains, and it has just come to light that the company has been enjoined from using the pIopot-Isd high cuIrent on its overheard wires because it in- t"cIfeIed with the telephone servite of the Southru New England Telephone company, and the American 'l‘elcphone. and Telegraph (.‘ompuny. As stated in The Sentinel some time ago the l'allroad's overhead wires be— tween the points named are charged so heavily with electricity that other wires within II radius of 50 feet are magnetized to such IIII extent that they are practically useless. Accord- ing to a statement made by the llell Telephone people they have procured junction in II New York court, rest flirting the railroad from charging its wires. The postponement of the opening of this line is due to this injunction as the contractors in charge of this job have completed their work and the electric line is ready to be op~ cued. At the o cc of the railroad corri- puny, in re ly to a question on this injunction. the following statement was issued: “The It’lllflt‘ticlllltllttls of the tele- phone and I'ailuuv companies are work. ing harmoniously to determine the cf- i'ect of our scrv'itc upon the it lephouc couipunies‘ lines " This indicates that there is no war- like litigation between the railroad and the telephone people. but at the same time the injunction proceedings, which have been kept secret. sincc Friday, allow that the telephone coni- panics are determined that the ‘I'ull- road shall not operate an overhead system, which will seriously interfere with their business. Time is little new in the statement that the New Haven s oIcI'lIcud wires interfered with the telephone ud tclc graph wires. Railroad people have known it for It long timc. The, rail- I‘oad not only knew of thc lutcrfercncc to these lines but the high voltage. has interfered with its electrical signal sys. tent to such IIII extent that some time ago it begun to figure on placing all its signal wires under ground. This fact was reported at the. little the work of figuring on this job begun. but when the cost of it was learned ”it! railroad did not care to spend so much money and looked around for another way of getting around the proposition. Now it plans to put in tr‘nusforuicrs at certain points along lIlI' line, which will send Ivlltlly electric currents into the ground instead of throwing then: around throughout the surroundings territory. The proposition to put the various wires running parallel with those of the electric system under- ground has been lt‘lll|)t)l"l]|“_\' abandon- ed by the I'IIllIoad people. if they find that the tqusiI'IrIIIcIs do not work to the satisfaction of all concerned this method of obviating the wildly running poWer may be adopted. it appears now that tho cllcctric linc will not be opened uutll th s difficulty is adjusted. anti when that will be even the electric exports of the company are in doubt.

Not to be outdone. Speaker Cannon, who is commonly believed to be operating a Presidential hatchery himself, laid down his cigar and (lid likewise. The only I'ematkuble thing, in fact. about these it tiers is that net tlII-I man is given to endorsing Iision- ary schemes or to luudation in any form. as seekers after certain legisla- tion know only too well. With other members of the adminis‘ trutlon, Vice President Fairbanks and Uncle Joe, have watched with much in ierest the efforts under way g4. carry otlt the scheme laid down by he First President for the establishment of a national university. Work to bring this about is being undertaken by the Georgy Washington Unitersity. which was established in 1821 and which be- lieves it has all the qualifications ne (‘cssal'y to meet the demands on a great institution of learning. Already II fund of 9200.000 practically has been subscribed by local citizens and plans are. afoot to appeal to the alumni of the University and to patriotic (‘iil' .Zens generally for subscriptions to an endowment fund which will permit the, institution to acquire and maintain the importance it will deserve. Both letters Were addressed to Dr. Richard D. Harlan, who is actively engaged in the field in pregarlng for a national campaign for subscriptions. The let. ter of Vice President Fairbanks reads: “1 most heartily wish you mucosa in securing an ample endowment for the Georgc Washington University. it is iIIIposalble to exaggerate the impor- tance of the work in which you are engaged. i am a firm believer in the establishment of such II l'IIiI'crsity as this in the national capital. There. will assemble young men of ability front all portions of the country. to enjoy facilities for education which will be unequalled anywhere. They will not alone be able, to enjoy the ad vantages afforded by the great librar ries and be permitted to study at close hand the mechanism of the go. I'eI'IIIucut. but they will be brought in- io intimate touch and association with young men front all portions of the rc- public. II'lIo will become factors in all of tlIc professional. business, political literary and scientific walks of life. i must heartily wish you success in the great work in which you are engaged. The letter of Uncle .loc is not quite so lengthy us that of the VlceePrcsi- (lent but as an unsolicited endorsement it is one of the may unique documents that. thc Speaker has ever penned. The Can. oi the House did not earn his so briquet of ‘Wutch Dog of the TIcII sIII'I without teat-ton. and since his elc ration to handler of the gaval, he has been even more clIIIt'y ot' recommend- ing anything or becoming identified with any movement, So it was with surprise that Dr. Hunla‘n found in his mail III the University this week the following lct ler: "l have been informed that you have undertaken to help in the work of se- curing tlIII necessary means for the eulargcrneut and extension of George Washington University. The nation‘s capital is fast becoming the center of literary and scientific activity, and. with the. advantages it enjoys, it should not be behind in educational work. i see no reason why the George Wash- ington University should not become one of the foremost Institutions of learning in the world. i trope your ef- forts iu procuring proper endowment by voluntary subscriptions froth the people of the United States may be crowned with success.

While the motoxtsts would have been glad of the roads which would result from such a course. it is doubtful if even they would have looked upon such It plan as other than II little too arnbl tious to go through. and the farmer's uouldnt have considered it for it mo- Sucb was the situation at the begin- ning of the present le slative session' that House Chairman llertou, of the joint committee on Roads loads bill which his committee is feature into it. He has done more or less missionary wm-s since, and the. situation has so changed that the farmers are actually asking the com- mittee to report a good sized bond issue to be available for improved roadways at about It million a year. lonuectlcut has done much to ward acquiring good roads Its a State and yet it is the fact that the State has no system of good roads today worthy the name. and, while there are stretches of road in different sections which have been well built and built to last: in a general way the expenditure of money does not show. The basis of the new plan which scents likelv to receive the support of the General Assembly consists in the State 5 taking over absolutely all trunk roads. The State will be entirely res- ponslblc for these roads and with an appropriation of a million a year it won't be long before Connecticut will hate u State-wide network of first- class roads. Certain concessions in the matter of choosing the road to be improved will be rustle to the local au— thorities but it must be It trunk road. The State will go into the co d mak- ing business on a large scan will have its (IIIII trIIpI'oak quarry or take . the crime output of private quarries, will time its own stone crushers and all the other necessities for successful roadmakiug, will employ its own fore men and inspectors and will go at the whole business on a uniform plan. Not the least of the benefits of the scheme have their own road appri’i‘prlations inz tact to spend on roads leading to the. trunk lines improved by the State. it is pIoposed to bring the high- way commissioner into even closer touch with the automobilists by giv- ing hint on auto in which to travel from town to town, overseeing the roadbuildlng And, incidentally, all the taxes on autos coming to the State will be spend on good roads in addition to the proceeds from the bond issue. A Iery large number of motorists leave New York for New England continually through the. warm months and almost every one of them crosses Connecticut. while the great number of autoists who frequehtly come into this state from Boston and farther east is well known. One feature of the situation appeals is the growing use of large auto trucks instead of horst‘dl‘awn volrlcles for factory teaming. in Connecticut‘s manufacturing citlcs tlIev are found eIItlIclI ptactlcablc and me already being used for town to town hauls of t'loulpalativcly light freight. it is agreed bI those interested in this matter that it will be but It short time crc these big auto trucks will do the bulk of the carrying of lighter height between towns in pinup of the steam roads. The advantages of such a plan are many and evident. and ma- nifestlv the scheme is dependent upon a system of substantial roadways! __.—-—.—_.—J‘—...._ 9100 REWARD, $100.
