 Washington. Dec. "A joint resolu- tlon. opening war on the trusts, and one of the first measures introduced at the final session of the 61st Con- gress. provides for constitutional amendment to enlarge the powers of Congress in dealing with monopolies, and it was drop-nd in the basket to- day by Representative John A. Ster- ling, of Illinois. ranking member of the House committee on the Judiciary. Sterling is enthusiastic about his reso- lution.
 The proposed constitutional amend ment is: Article xVII-The Congress shall have power to prevent and sup press monopolies throughout the United States by appropriate legislation"
 congress might. at present. have some control" declared Sterling. today. "but in many instances this control falls Tar short of the power required. It is necessary that Congress should control not only those bigger corpora tions operating between the States and operating within the State. The State authorities have no harmony in pro- ceeding against corporations. and the different views. held in different States, also result in corporations continued existence.
 Some States even create corpora tions with the intention that they shall have the bulk of their power and their business outside of the State in which porations of the New Jersey class that my amendment is framed"
 Sterling's resolution will go to the Judiciary committee.

STARTED WITH
 DEPOSIT OF $I0 BANK GROWS BIC
Mechanics' and Farmers Savings Bank Now Has Above 14,000 Depositors and $5, ,00O, 900 in Assets

Started with deposits of s10 th2 Mechanics and Farmers Savings Bank today nas assets of $o,037, ,052.35, rep. resenting the faith and confidence of more than 4,O00 depositors who use this excellent institution for their savings.
 Lyman S. Catlin, secretary and treasurer of the bank, is also its father, if that is the proper word to use in such q case.
 Way back in 1873, with nothing but the charter to work on, he open posit, S5, in the name of a child, and then gave seven years of unpaid ser vice during which the bank grew nightly to the profit and satisfaction of an increasing number of patrons.
 The bank has always encouraged home building and much more than half of its investments are in loans on real estate.
 In this field the bank has exercised a powerful influence for good, both in fostering building. and in influencing the right kind of building.
 Many of the banks most solid de- positors are foreigners, the thrifty people of other lands, who come to this country in search of opportunity and find it. From the bank these people receive advice and >assistanca of great value.
 The bank, under MT. Catlin's con- servative management, has also be- come especially entrenched in the confidence of many societies of a fraternal nature, whose accounts are always desirable, and the bank, in turn has been liberal when necessary in the matter of loans to sound or ganizations, which have desired to build halls and the like.
 At the meeting of the directors of the bank. yesterday, the regular semi annual dividend was declared at the rate of per cent.

London, Dec. Lord Balfour, Con- servative leader of England, was, to- day. dubbed the William J. Bryan of English politics. This appellation was applied in view of the now cer- tain defeat of the Conservatives in The defeat will make the third suc- cess've one for Balfour as leader of the Unionists.
 The strongest pressure Is being brought to bear to force Balfour out of the leadership. Ills offer to sub- init the question of protective tar if to the people in the shape of a ionists' success. is considered, by many, as his crowning political blun- der.
 There is every indication, today. that the Liberals and Allies will ac- fually increase their present major ity of 124 in the next parliament. They had a net majority of one at the beginning of today's polling, hav- ing steadily cut down the Conserva- tives' gains since the first day. The coalition now has 152. Or one more seat than they had, in the same dis tricts heard from, in the last parlia- ment.
 MT. John Burns victory at Batter sea was the feature of yesterdays pollings. The President of the Local Government Board. as result of 8 room to room canvass of his district, increased his majority from 595 Tn January to plurality of 1,292 votes yesterday. a gain of 757. Bernard Shaw. the Socialist candidate, got only 4s7 votes.
 The London press comments ap- provingly on the falling off of the Socialist vote everywhere. MT. Burns was astonished at the magnitude of his victory.
 Sir John Harrington his opponent and the Unionist leaders, worked hard and cherished the hope up to the last that the Unionists would win the seat
 The result of the third days bat tie has bitterly disappointed the Un- ionists. who gained one seat, St. Hell ems. and lost four to the Liberal Labor coalition. Woolwich returned it's old love. Mir. Will am Crooks. the busting Major Adam. who defeated Mir Crooks in January by 295.
 Southwark, West. another London seat. was recovered for the Liberals by MT. E. A. Strauss, who won by IS votes over Sir W. H. Dunn who captured the constituency for the Un- ionists in January by 164 votes.
 Then Whitehaveu, Unionist stronghold. where there have been strike troubles in the collieries. took ts revenge on the mine owners by returning MT. T. Richardson. Labor ite. Burnley, too, left the Unionist fold. MT. F. Morrell, Liberal, winning there by 173.
 The Unionists reduced the Liberal and increased their own majoritles in scores of constituencies where these losses and gains were of little value Last night. though asserting that these gains in the popular vote would have strong moral effect on the coun- try, the Unionist leaders were no longer hopeful of preventing coali- tionist control.

People of Bridgeport Have Right to Expect Better Things of Connecticut
 Company
fault Lies with General Off cers, Who Have Long Known Needs of Service In This City.

Mayor Buckingham said this morn ing that he greatly deprecated the conditions surrounding the trolley service in this city and that there is apparently no reason why the Con- necticut Go. with its vast resources and business acumen can not give the city of Bridgeport better service. He declared that two inches of snow should not put the service out as it did do, although he was given to un- derstand that snow played more havoc with electric power than any other interference that might arise.
 The mayor said that he did not hold the local management of the Bridgeport lines responsible for the conditions as he believed that the general offices of the company in New Haven knew months ago the actual conditions in this city and hal not compiled with the demands from Bridgeport for a bigger power plant.
 Mayor Buckingham was inclined to think that Bridgerort's patronage of the company's lines is too liberal to receive the kind of treatment the city has received since Monday night. He did not think such treatment should be tolerated longer without protest. and said there is abso' 'utely no excuse the company can offer. after the pa- tience with which the people have borne the dereliction of the company for the past two winters and the prom fses of the company to do better
 old residents of the city declare that Andrew Radel. with small cars. gave the city better storm service than the present big company with its jumbo cars. Tn the Radel days there were no mornings after a storm that lines were not open at 6 o'clock.
 At the office of the Connecticut Go. today it was learned that the same power plant troubles were being ex- perienced today that crippled the io- cal division Monday night and Tues day. The repairs were made yestrr- day and from 5 o'clock, yesterday afternoon. until o'clock. last nigh:, full service was restored. At g o'clock there was another break down which had not been repaired up to 2:30 o'clock today.
