HARTFORD HAS A DRY SUNDAY.
Hotel Bars Closed Tight as Drums to
Spite Blue Law Agitators.
[By Telegraph TO The Tribune.

Hartford, Conn, Jan. 16.-For the first
time in fifty-four years the Allyn House,
the largest hotel in this city. closed it's
bar to-day, and all the other hotels re-
fused to serve liquor to their guests
Hartford thus experienced the bluest Sun
day in many years.
Extra cars carried thousands to neigh
boring cities. where, under the same state
law so literally enforced here, Sunday
night concerts and moving picture shows
were given and the hotels did a big busi-
ness.
The Rev Elmer Z. Dent, who started
the present agitation against the theatres
which prominent citizens now have taken
I'D against ali business not of necessity or
mercy in order to spite the ministers. de-
Iivered a lecture at theatre this after
noon, and inquiry is being made TO see if
he did not himself break the old blue law
on the statutes since 1902
Warrants have been issued tonight
against many druggists, newsdealers and
florists.

The committee conmends, however, what
1t calls the wise policy recently undertaken
by the city. of acquiring land where it is
going to be needed shortly. in spite OF
graft in the acquisition. The bulletin ends
with an explanation of the need of new
sources of revenue for school purposes, as
follows:
The study of the school needs OF the city
emphasizes pre-eminently that the city
cannot afford to rob children to enrich
landlords, or to rob poor renters to edu-
cate their children, any longer. The sum
Of 100000 is inperativeIy needed for
school buildings at once. II this sum is
paid from current taxation it will cost
the city 100000 If, on the other hand
It is paid by dfty-year corporate stock at
4 per cent interest, it will cost the city
S17.0S0O O00.
The proceeds of a tax which would ap
propriate for the community small part
Of the increase in land values which it has
largely created and a. reasonable inheri-
tance tax for the city would enable New
York City within the next two years to be
just to its school children by building in
the right place all the school buildings
with ample grounds, for all school children
and this is simply justice.

SCHOOL NEEDS BIG
FINDING OF EXPERTS.
Congestion Committee Reports
General OUercrozcdng.

A bulletin issued yesterday by the COM
rnittee on Congestion of Population In New
York gives the results of an exhaustive
investiga ton of the school space at the
disposal of the city and summary of
what, in its opinion. must be done If ade-
quate facilities are TO be provided for
school children. In Manhattan alone. ac-
cording to the bulletin at least one hun
dred more acres of land are needed to pro-
vide thirty square feet for each pupil reg
istered, at a cost, on a basis of the price
paid from 1905 TO 1908, OF s47245, ,93S 6s, or
nearly 81 a square foot.
To give the same area to each pupil in
Brooklyn forty acres are needed, at a cost
of S+,127,5O6 90, or 81 70 a square foot. and
In The Bronx five acres are needed, the
cost being estimated at s1.155,0 900, while in
Queens and Richmond the city already
owns about forty acres in each borough
liable for school purposes.
On the question of overcrowding in rooms
the committee says. granting that a regis
tration of thirty-five pupils to a room is a
maximum. that only 120 of the 469 schools in
the city have adequate provision of rooms.
The committee states that 162 schools
average more than forty-six pupils to a
room, while sixteen have more than sixty
These averages include badly lighted, un-
ventilated, unused and condemned rooms
Less than one-f1fth of the kindergarten
and elementary schools below 14th street
IN Manhattan had an adequate number
Of rooms for the pupils registered last Oc-
tober. There are sixty-six. schools in this
district. Forty-eight schools had more
than forty-one pupils registered for each
room. available or unavailable, and eleven
had more than fifty. Under such condi-
tions, the committee believes, part time is
a relief
referring to what it terms a "piecemeal''
method of acquiring land for school SITES
the committee says that of 513 sites pur-
chased by the city only 2S4 were purchased
at one time the remainder being bought
on the instalment plan, the city being the
loser, the land specUlator the gamer and
the children the victims. The bulletin con-

CANE MILL
FOR NEGR0s
HANGS FIRE

ILoILo, May Misrepresentation
of the Honolulu Iron Works and the
sugar planters of San Carlos, Occi-
dental Negros, who have been negotiat.
ing for some time for the establishment
of a sugar central at San Carlos, have
disagreed as to the conditions under
which the central is to be established,
and the negotiations are at standstill.
The Hawaiian capitalists proposed to
install mill and the necessary rail-
road, mill the cane and prepare it for
market, taking forty-dve per cent, of
the product.
The hacenderos rejected this proposal,
offering a substitute plan which pro-
vided that the planter should receive
seven tons of sugar for each hundred
tons of cane delivered at the mill.
The slight difference between the two
proposals indicates an early settlement
of the dispute, thus permitting the en-.
trance of the first modern milling com
pany into the canefields Of Negroes

SWEPT BY GALE
IN MAGELLAN GATEWAY

The Norwegian steamer Torsdal,
Capt. o. A. Olsen in command, arrived
here at three O'Clock yesterday after.
noon with cargo of coal for the naval
station. The steamer came around the
Horn from Baltimore, and in the Strait
of Magellan she encountered severe
gale, which lasted for two days. Cap
tain Olsen said the trip through the
narrow gateway between the Atlantic
and Pacific was about as rough as he
ever experienced, and he hoped he
would never have two more as squally
days again.
The trip was made in seventy-one
days, and but for the rough weather
in the Strait of Magellan the voyage
was uneventful. The trip would have
been made on time had not the steamer
encountered the storm.
The Torsdal is 9616-ton vessel and
has crew of twenty-nine men alto
gether. She brought ALSO tons of coal
to the Honolulu naval station, which
will be unloaded between now and
June 80.
When asked about his plans for the
next trip, Captain Olsen said he would
probably sail for Australia, and eventu-
ally go back to the Atlantic via the
Suez Canal.
