LOST MONEY
ON DRAMA
A small audience was present at
the presentation of the comedy dra-
ma, "On the Bar Z Ranch." at the
Regent Theatre. by the Springwood
Dramatic Club, last night. This play
was given for the benefit of the two
veteran organizations of the city. the
Veterans of Foreign Wars and the
American Legion. As the result of
the small attendance. considerable
money was lost by the two organiza-
tions.
The cast is deserving of a. great
amount of credit for the fine manner
iin which it put the play over. Their
efforts were well received by the
audience. Edward Splan was well
received as Dick Scott, foreman of
the Bar Z Ranch. Miss Irene De-
Ccasare. who took the part of Matt'-
garct Lee. an eastern girl and tWCtt-
heart of Dick Scott. also received a
his hand. In fact ‘all of the players
in the cast were l-xtra good.
The joint committee of the veter-
an organizations stated that they
Were well pleased with the fine spirit
shown by the Springwood Dramatic
(tub in putting on this benefit. de-
spite the large loss suffered by the
two posts. This is the first time in
the history of either post that any
affair that they have run off in the
city has been a. failure. One veteran
was heard to say as he left the
theatre last night after the perform-
lmL‘e, “Well. I guess the war is
0\‘t"l‘. and forgotten by the looks of
crowd that attended the show
tonight." but this is wrong; the war
will never be over for some of these
poor fellovvs. A number of the mem-
here of the, two local posts have die-
abilitics which will trouble them the
rest of their lives. '
The. entertainment. committee from
the two local posts were in charge
of the affair last evening. The play
was staged under the direction cf
Thomas McMahon, and Fred Zipper-
t-r acted as stage manager. The cast

Silver Anniversary For Dutch Queen;
Seeking Victoria’ 3 Long Reign Record
BY \[ILTON BRONN'ER
NEA Service Staff Correspondent
LONDbN. Feb. 10.-——LB.te next sum~
mer the citizens of the little kingdom
of Holland will celebrate their Queen
Wilhelmina's forty-third birthday and
the silver anniversary of her reign.
She is the only woman in Europe who
rules a. country in her own right and
who did not; attain the title by marry-
ing a king.
King Alfonso of spain is the only
rulcr in Europe who acceded to the
throne before she did. He became
Ring the day he was born. But since
he did not really rule until later. Wil-
helmina has had a. longer continuous
reign than any living sovereign—~25
years. » .
As she is only 43 and healthy. she
bids fair to rival the ‘long reign of
Queen Victoria of Britain who ,mount-
ed the throne in 1838 and held scep-
ter until her death 68 years later.
The sturdy. independent. semi-re-
publican Dutch say that the best
thing about their queen is that so lit-
tle is heard about her. She is con—
tent to let her ministers and Portia-
ment run the country. .
Though she leads a simple life in
the plain little palace in, The Hague.
she has an enormous income from
her crown lands and possessions in
the East Indies. It is estimated she
diuws'down about five million dollars
annually. ,,
Wilhelmina is a womanly woman.
Sherloves her home life and rejoices
in gardens and Showers; She is an

omnivorous reader ‘of books in the ‘
original—Dutch. German.
English and Italian.

TONIGHT ENDS
AN lMPORTANT
CONTEST PERIOD
‘The. stage is all set for another
whirlwind finish for the close of the
second vote period of the Evening
Sentin Prize Campaign which takes
place 8 o'clock tonight. In anti-
cipation of the rush that is sul‘t' to
corhe. the manager re cats that. as
many as possible of the candidates
present. themselves at the office dur-
ing the early hours of the evening. in
order that no unpleasant, long period
of waiting will be the lot of of any
candidate.
Many of the candidates. remember-
ing what. took place on the closing
night of the first period, and the large
number of candidates who were pres-
ent. at the lost moment of that even-
ing. came to the office yesterday. with
a portion of their subscriptions, those
that had been received up to that
time. The manager appreciates the
thoughtfulness of these workers. as,
their presence of mind will minimize
the chance of any tiresome waiting
tonight.
It is needless to say .that the close
of this vote period is just as important
as the close, of the one that proceed-
ed it. While it is true that two weeks
have passed. during which time every
candidate on the list added thousands

The state capitol is a beehive of
activity these days. and every train
into Hartford from early morning un-
til mid-afternoon deposits groups of
people headed for the legislative
halls where matters of Vital inter-
est are up for consideration before
committees. The Judiciary Commit-
tee, the most important committze of
the legislature.‘is holding daily heur-
ings of-considerable length and. fol-
lowing its example. the other legisla-
tive committees are going full speed.
The Finance Committee has listened
to crowds of people during the week.
on. ' various matters of taxation and
tax exemption: the Cities and
Boroughs Committee has started
hearings on matterspertaining to the
various towns, and generally, Vthe
important committees are working
hard from the adjournment of 8
daily sessions of the House and Sen-
ate, until 6:30 in the afternoon. Fri-
day sessions have started this week.
and legislative leaders are hopeful
that they’can be maintained with a
view toward early adjomnment.
Formerly Friday sessions were not
successful, as scant attendance was the
rule. This legislature has done
many novel things \so far. andlwork-
ing on Friday is expected to be more
successful than in the past.

Assembly Is Beehive of Activity.
From Morn To Night
:born in 1915. and from that time i'n-
til the present year it has been large-
ly an advisory body. It is com-
prised of some of the biggest and best
qualified men n ‘ the state. who
planned a budget ehch legislative
year, and submitted it to the Appro—
priations Committee, and then watch-
ed the committee check over a large
part. of its work. spending consider-
able time doing so. In the past. the
legislature has looked’to the. Board of
Finance for the estimates for the two
years subsequent to the legislative
sessions. and has‘based its budget bill
at the end of the session largely upon
the summaries arrived at by the
Board of Einaace,’covcring every Ce»
partment and institution in ' which
the state is“ interested. This year.
however. the procedure has been
changed—and undoubtedly improved.
by a saving of considerable time.
The present Appropriation Commit-
tee rejected all hospital appropriation
ibills dug-lug the week. It was explain-
ed when this was done that all of
these aproprlations would be includ-
ed in the budget bill at a later date.
and the appropriations would be made
along the- lines suggested by the
Board. of Finance. The latter body
always makes an exhaustive survey of
all appropriations asked and the re-
sults are presented to the Appropria-
tions Cammittee early in the session.
Instead of another investigation of the
circumstances surrounding the appro-
printions asked for by state depart-
ments. institutions. hospitals, and
hers. the, committee will be guided
arias this matter is concerned. by
the“ Board's report, thus eliminating
the usual investigations which lap owr
each other, and which -seem unnecep
sax-y. A week. or perhaps two weeks
will be saved by the _Appropriatlons
Committee in the adoption of this
plan. and for the first: time. the Board
of Finance will actually»: Operate as it ,
was originally intended to. and not
nearly operate in an advisory capacity.

E ‘ STATE;
Governor Takes. Personal
Charge In Fuel Emergency;
Norwalk Situation Not Bad.
Governor Charles A. Templeton has
virtually taken supreme command of
the fuel
virtueVof his proclamation. In an in-
terview today at Waterbury the state's
chief executive stated that he intended
to keep in close touch wltn the coal
situation. and that ho.;..would confer
with Superintendent Hurley of the
state police regarding the proper
method of checking up on coal dis-
tribution so that all unnecessary suf-
fering might be‘ eliminated.
"I shall watch the situation very
closely." said Governor Templeton to-
day. “I proclaimed an emergency ex-
isted because it: actually exists and the
only method of procedure is to check
up each and every ton of coal now
in the boundaries of the state. and to
see that there are no inequalities in
distribution. It is my intention to
eliminate all unnecessary suffering. 1
am going to confer with Superintend-
ent Hurley regarding the proper plan
of handling the distribution of all
coal." 1
Norwalk Fortunate
"Norwalk is fairly well fixed with
regards to coal supply.” said Acting
Local Fuel Administrator Fred L.
LamSOn in conversation with a Senti-
nel reporter this morning.
‘ "If people.will not get nervous. I
believe that we can pull through the
present diflloulty. all. right. There is
no'doubt but that the city is at a criti-
cal stage. but. the local dealers are co-
operating splendidly with me. and are
supplying the people. allttle.‘ at a. time
here and there as it is needed."
Emergency orders are being met.
. Mr. Lamson said. as they-came in. So
far during his'ierm as local fuel ad-
ministrator. Mr. Lamson has had to
issue about 1.50 emergency orders for
sickness. vital business. etc. The
greatest demand came about ten days
ago for emergency orders.
Mr. Lamson stated that he had re-
iceived no word that anyone had sup-
situation in Connecticut by . planted him. under the new state rul-
ing on the fuel administration. as
local administrator. but said that when
he received such word that. he would
so notify Mayor Calvin L. Barton. Mr.
Lamson is at present acting as local
administrator at the request of Mayor
Barton.
Eliminates Commissioners
The action of the governor and the
passage of the fuel bill by both
houses of the General Assembly yes—
terday practically eliminates the fuel
administrators and deputy adminis—
trators about the state from further
services. Any co-operation by the
present fuel commissioners will no
gladly received, however. according to
Governor Templeton. He also intig
mated that he would carry out his
of‘ the Chambers of Commerce
throughout the state to “lend a. hand.”
When the governor's proclamation
was given out. it was accompanied by
the following statement from the ex-
ecutive:
fuel act. passed today by both houses
of the General Assembly under sus-
pension of the rules. in order that this
emergency legislation might become
immediately effective. But it is my be-
lief that this law should promptly be
supplemented by other. legislation to
empower a fuel commission or rut»:
administrator to promulgate rules cow.
ering the matter in a more compre-
hensive and pcrnianent manner.
“To hit-(Jayne: formerly deputy
state't‘uel administrator. and” to the
local fuel administration who. in all
parts of the state. have been serving
as volunteers. I desire to express my
personal appreciation and the thanks
of the people of Connecticut."
