7-; ss 'oot” Declares
That England’s on
i“ W ay to Prohibition
Laws '
" Before an audience of about 200
3...
persons in the Congregational
church. at Darien last night, “Pussy-
!oot" Johnson, internationally
known dry crusader, predicted that
England is going dry with the rest
of the World. .A. collection was
taken up following his lecture by
George M. Hammond, treasurer in
the United States for the Interna-
tional League opposed to Alcohol,
under the auspices of which John-
son spoke.
The dry crusader declared that it
was part of the policies of his or-
ganization to get as much back fire
la possible from the ranks of the
vets so as to prevent their getting
their "stuff" through the 20,000-
mile frontier of the United States.
He criticised the Baltimore Sun
101‘ being the "\vetteSt paper in Am—
orica" but said it told the truth
when it said the big stick that was
putting prohibition across in Amer-
ica was the individual contributions
of private citizens.
“Pussyfoot” declared that 11.000
athletes of Bulgaria recently went
on record as being opposed to al-
cohol and have been giving athletic
exhibitions at cross-roads all over
the country. He said public senti-
ment in Jugo-Slavia indicated that
a. constitutional amendment against
alcohol would soon be forthcoming.
He-thinks llumania will soon fol-
low. _ In Hungary. he told his audi~
'ence, the labor unions have gone
unanimously in fave;- of prohibition.
In Austria the government is
building new towns and selling
homes to workers on the install-
ment plan it’ they agree to give up
use of alcohol, he declared. Three
Mexican states have gone dry, he
pointed out. He claimed Chile and
-Argentina are going dry.
The 1,100 Mohammedan papers
in the world are unanimously
against alcohol, he declared. Ab-
stinence from liquor is part or the
Mohammedan religion. The Hindoo
and Buddist papers also adopt a,
POIiCY of bfdng against liquor, he
pointed out.
In Egypt at the present election
1,300 voters favored prohibition.
where nine favored liquor, he do—
Flared. Zanzibar is 100 per cent
dry. \Vhere the slave market
formerly stood is now a beautiful
bathedral.
Johnson criticized Spain for its
war in Morroco and declared that he
thought liquor was at the bottom
of it. He asked for more courage
on the part of the press and less
evasion on the liquor question.
At the conclusion of his lecture
the audience. one asked to sign
pledges to pay a certain amount hf
money every month for the next
five years. Anyone will be l‘t'lOHSo‘Nl
from their pluige if he wishes to
discontinue it.

HISTORIC OLD KILLINGWOR‘TII.
Mabel Cassine Holman recently
wrote the following interesting nar-
rative for the Hartford Times. about
the historic old town of Killing-
worth. ‘
. In 1663, twelve families who had
emigrated from Hartford, Windsor
and Gnilford located on the Indian
tract called Iiammonassett. which
extended along the shore of Long
‘Island Sound for three miles, and
northward about thirteen miles.
These were joined by sixteen other
families in the course of two or
three years. and in 1667 the Gener-
al Assembly named the village Kerb
ilworth, after a town in 'iVarwlclt
county. England. the birthplace of
one of the first settlers.
There Were many Indians at this
time living in the southern part of
the town. on the shores of the Sound.
A. greater part of their land had
been sold to George Fenwick. dur-
ing the time he lived at Saybrook,
and two years after the settlement
qt Iiillingworth in 1669. Uncns,
sachem of the Mohegans, sold to the
inhabitants of the town all the land
before sold to George Fenwi’ck. with
the exception of six acres, which he
reserved for himself. also the priv- '
flege of hunting in the woods. fish-
ing “in the river, and to "use any
trees for canoes. rushes and flags
for mats." Uncas had obtained this
land by marriage with the daughter
pf the Hammonassett sachem.
e Indians continued to live in
_11ingsworth 0n very friendly
terms with the people until 1730-40.

Per Capita Cost in 1923
$57.18— LeadEntire
State—Other Cities
\VASHINGTON, D. 0.. April 17.—
It costs relatively more to keep the
cit‘y government of Hartford. run-
ning in 1923 than it did for any oth-
er large city of Connecticut. During
the year, the city spent in the main-
tenance of its municipal government
$57.18 for every resident of the city.
As compared with this year per
capita cost of government in the
capital city. Bridgeport’s govern-
ment cost only §45.21 per capita;
New.Britain's $40.81; and New Ha.-
ven's, 841.97.
The cost of government per per-
son in Hartford went up some $6.40
for every inhabitant from 1922 to
1923. Since 1918. it has gone up
nearly fifteen dollars per capita.
During the fiscal year 1923, Hart-
ford spent a. total of 313892.296 for
the administration of its city gov-
ernment and for the independent
school district, and took in during
the same year. 8?.930,128. or 857.45
per capita, in total revenue receipts.
Receipts were $37,382 more than
total expenses, even though Hart-
ford spent 31,368,433 during the
your for permanent improvements.
For operation of th egeneral de—
partments of the city government
$5,220,135 was paid out: $641,472
went for operation of public serv—
ice enterprises; and. $662,265 for in-
terest on debt.
Hartford residents met a. combin-
ed per capita tax levy in 1923 of
$43.30 While in Bridgeport, the per
capita tax for all purposes was
$50.96. New Britain and New lla-
von. however. enjoyed lower tax
levies. amounting to $34.08 and
$37.19 respectively. Hartford's total
tax levy Was $5,977,255, of \\'lllCh‘-,
85.4 per cent went to the city cor-
poration. 7.4 per cent to the inde-
pendent school district, 5.4 per cent
for the state, and 1.5 per cent for
the county.
Hartford had the highest per
capita debt of any large city in the
state. As compared with a per cap-
ita. net debt in 1923 of $52.52 {or
New Haven. 873.73 for Bridgeport,
and 869.34 for New Britain. Hart-
ford's debt came to $106.61 per cap-
ila. The net indebtedness at the

port and that of her son on condi-

still bars her from using her hus-
