TO ABOLISH BLUE LAWS
Connecticut Legislature Proposed to
Liberalize Sunday

Hartford, CT, Aug. 5.-Tne House
today passed in concurrence with the
Senate a bill liberalizing the Sunday.
The new Sunday bill defines the
Sunday and prohibits all sports and
secular activities except such as are
demanded by necessity and mercy
and such as are for the general wei
fare of the community" Under the
words general welfare of the com
Sunday baseball is probably
permitted and the advocates of the
bill admit that the courts must inter
pref the words. The opponents of the
bill claim that theaters may run and
all forms of amusement can be held
on Sunday until the courts shall have
decided that such diversions are not
for the welfare of the people.

CIRCUS HELPS MERCHANTS
II Takes a Vast Amount of Money to
Feed the Animals

That it does local merchants some
good to have big circus like Howe's
Great London Shows come to town is
amply evidenced by the large con-
tracts made by local dealers today. 1t
takes money to run great show, and
IL takes a vast amount of material to
feed employees and animals.
Circus people live well, and only the
best of everything is used in the COM
missary department. That big show
leaves a liberal lump of money in a
city at times is evident from the con-
tracts made here. To local coffee
firm the mammoth order for 500 lbs.
of coffee was given. From an equally
well known grocery house 5000 worth
of groceries was contracted Two
hundred and fifty pairs of shoes were
added to the commissary wagon An
order of 1925 alone went to one but
cher. Several hundred loaves of
bread feed the hungry maws of the
circus people daily, and these too,
come from local bakers Seventy
five quarts of milk from the dairies,
hay, oats, straw and a host of other
necessaries were purchased in the city.
The money carried out of town by
a circus is the extra money brought
bv excursionists who come to the
show. The money received from
town people is more than Offset by the
sums paid out here for supplies and
other needed expenses.
The big show is coming Tuesday
August II.

A man had started to climb the pole
with the rope when reinforcements ar

OVER 5000 GREEi PRESIDENT,
Usual Large and Distinguished Throns
at White House.

Washington, Jan. president
Roosevelt and over 5000 people, rep.
scnting every land and every state
and territory in tho union, exchanged
happy New Year greetings at the
White House. For three and half
hours the president stood receiving
his guests and when the reception
was ended, last years record OF at
tendance had been broken by over
seven hundred. Many men and wom'
en- distinguished in official and social
life of Washington were present.
The brilliant court dress Of mem.
bers of the diplomatic corps gave a
picturesque aspect to the annual fu c.
ton, which throughout was marked
by an absence of formality. The mum
Der of small children WHO were
brought by their parents to shake
hands with the president was unpreee-

HARTMAN CASE REOPENED.
Government Continues Dissolution Suit
Against Union Pacific Today.

New York. Jan. 5.-Hearings of the
government dissolution suit against
the Union Pacific railroad were re-
opened in this city today before Eek.
aminer Sylvester G. Williams.
One of the points which the govern
ment is using in the suit against the
railroad is the arrangement whereby
the Southern Pacific became a half
owner Of the San Pedro, Los Angeles
and Santa Fe and a traffic agreement
was made whereby each side agreed
not to change its rates without the con.
sent OF the other for ninety-nine years.
The issuance of stock and bonds in
1901 to finance the purchases of North.
ern Pacific stock, the subsequent ne
gotiations and the Chicago and Alton
deal also figure in the suit.
