SENATE DROPS lNlfl POETRY
OVER mime-SCANDAL
WASHINGTON. March 6.—-Aflcr
having been gassed f or weeks in the
heavy fumes or oil and scorched by
the names of partisan debate, the
Senate yesterday found a. Welcome
relief in a few moments of comedy——
and excursion into the classics, par-
odied with the names and subjects
of the hour.
Senator Hcflin of Alabama. re-
newing an attack on Edward L. Do-
hcny. made a detour into the realm
of literature and struck licnry Cabot
Lodge oi Massachusetts in his home
spot
The result wa‘a passage at words
that sent galleries off into roars of
laughing-r in which senators on the
floor joined without restraint. in
strange contrast to the studied de-
corum ot‘ the chamber.
“'cloome Relaxation.
Everybody enjoyed it as a wel-
come and unexpectedrcllet from the
rattle and din on Teapot Dome. At-
torney-General Daugherty and what-
not. which has been swashing the
chamber in a wordy flood. \Vilcn .‘t
was over, senators on both sides of
the aisle were smiling lor the first
time, and the atmosphere had been
cleared as if by a. thunderstorm on a.
sultry day.
Senator Iiefliu was referring to
Mr. Doheny's tax refund of $40,000
by the Treasury department, when
he diverted to a parody on the clas-
sic talc oi Abou Ben Adhcm. Sub-
stituting “Dough Hecnie" for Abou.
Senator Heflln read:
"The golden fleece.
About Dough Heenie (may his tribe
increase.)

dream of peace.
And saw within the moonlit room.

A senator writing in a. book of‘gold.
Enormous wealth had made Dough

said: _

of. those
would be a splendid thing.
"A human life cannot be judged
in terms of dollars and cents." said
Mr. Roodncr. "If one life can be
saved the elimination of the cross-
ing will be more than worth while."
Charles H. Dllworth declared that
steps should be taken to eliminate
the danger at the crossing.
Thomas A. Skelly. member of the
Board of Health. and past exalted
ruler of the local lodge of Elks. was
another who came out strongly in
favor of s bridge over the New Cs-
nsan avenue railroad crossing. He
condemned the crossing as a danger-
ous place and said it should not be
allowed to continue as such.
'33! is mine one? ssid Abou.

‘ ‘ but 'Abcu checrily

The senator wrote and Vanished.
The next day, /
He came sguin—it looked like Cam’-

those whom Fall liked best

all the rest."

“’hile the chamber and galleries

lican leader and litterstcur or the

From a. typewritten sheet in his
hand he replied with a parody on
Longtellow's “Brothers and Sisters.

Mr. Yonder-lip says:

LONDON. March 5.—Rs.lph Thur-
ber. prisoner in Pcntouville jail. who,
has confessed to impucselon‘in the
Wall street bomb explosion in 1920.
recently came to England in defl-
ance of a. deportation order sending
him to American. says the Daily
Sketch. The paper adds that the
only explanation of his motive tor
returning here is his own statement
that he came to recover a. debt for
£10. He is said to have travelled by
way of Paris and Antwerp, landing
in England at Harwlch.
Thurber, who is about 26 years
old. is described as a desperate char-
acter. He is under heavy guard in
the Pentonville jail and will contin-
ue to be closely watched until extra-
dition proceedings are completed
and New York detectives arrive to
take him to America.
His statement, which was for-
warded to Washington by the Bri-
tish home oflicc, is accepted here as
probably true.
Thurber is declared to have left
his home in the United States when
16 years of age to join the Canadian
army. It was apparently while
serving with the Canadian forces‘in
France that he got into trouble un-
der circumstances causing suspicion
that he was acting as a spy, ..nd re-
sulting in his deportation.
The American ofliclals here who
now: been handling the case are
very secretive as are the Scotland
Yard authorities. London first learn-

HARTFORD. March 5.—The com-
mutation rstes that were in eliect on
the New Hives railroad in Connecti-
cut prior to the increase of Feb-
discrimlnutory as
compel-ed with those intro-state
rates in Massachusetts and Rhode
Island. and even between certain
lines within this state. Also. they
fell far short of providing an ade-
quate return to the company for
the proportion of operating expense
the transportation of commuters ne-
cessitated. In his opening statement
before the public utilities commis-
sion yesterday, the opening day of
the hearing on petitions of commut-
ers in the state protesting against
thedncrcsse in rates, Charles M.
Sheafe, in, of New York. general
solicitor for the road. said that his
witnmes would produce evidence
proving these contentious and show-
ing that the new rates establish, \tor
the first time .in Connecticut, a
standard. state-wide commutation
rate per mile. .
R R. Gulch]: Testify.
The entire day was devoted to the
testimony/o: two executives of the
railroad. Edward G. Bucklnnd. vice-
preddent and general counsel, and
Benjamin Campbell. vice-president
in charge of truffle. A great mass or
documentary evidence. numbering in
nil nineteen exhibits. was submitted
by the road to show discrimination
in the former continuation rates and
to show that commuter-s have never
Wd 3 fair proportion of the reve-
nue when the expense of providing
service to them is considered.
Mr. Gnmpbell lurther- testified
that, whereas the average local pas-
senger tau-e has been increased 19.5?
per cent s‘lnoe 1310.-the over-age
commutation rate has been increas-
sdsnly “.8 pos- cent, mm
the mace in 1922 would have been
greater then it actually was by $1,-
042,167.75. ,
Another exhibit introduced by Hr.
Campbell was a. statement showing
the revetue actually produced by
each branch of the service in 1922
and what it should have produced
had each branch paid proportion-
ately. Locul passenger traffic paid
89,000,000 more than its proportion-
ateshsre and commutation trsdic
paid almost 89.000.000 less than its
share. The actual percentage of
commutation traflic was 27.14 while
the amount received from it was
8:71 per cent.
(hmpbell arms-Examined.
The various petitioners were rep-
resented by {our lawyers. James E.
Cannon of Hartford. Henry F. Flet-
cher ot Thompsonviile. Joseph mn—
frcda. of. Wallingiord and 8. Gerard
Cassie of New Britain. Upon cross-
exnmination they. drew trom Mr.
Campbell the statement that the in-
creases throughout the state nVer-
aged about 40 per cent. although
some individual lines have been in-
creased slmost 100 per cent. Mr.
Campbell explained this by showing
that Central New England rates had
been decreased and the large in-
creases on some lines were due to
the exasively low rstesprevxously.
He declared that Connecticut has
had the lowest commutation rates in
the country. The point was also
brought out. that the company is
paid for in advance when ammu-
tstlon books are bought and so has
the use or the money for s. time.
Mr. Campbell said that the Hartford
division. which 1: alone concerned
in the heuring.‘has 50 per cent of
all communion curried by the road
but says $85,000 less than the oth-
er 111.1! of the road commutation.
