WYATT TILL THE
 CLOUDS ROLL BYr'

There Is no diversity of opinion up- on one subject. viz.. industrial condi- tlons- All observers agree that de- pression exists. not widespread. how ever, nor as yet severe. But reports from the larger cities agree that the number of the unemployed is greater than 1. usual at this time of the year. There are hopeful signs of renewed activity. but there is no absolute cer- tainty of 1t It may be that when the Supreme courts decisions upon the Tobacco and Standard Oil cases are rendered and the affairs of these corporations. and of the hundreds of others existing under similar con6i- tons. are adjusted to the new status. full industrial activity may be re- aumed But time may be required to make the changes
 There are other conditions which cause uncertainty. among them the freight rate cases before the Interstate Commerce Commission. the question of reciprocity with Canada. the possi- bflity of an extra session of Congress, and tariff revision. None of these conditions can be safely discounted in advance.
 with such conditions prevalent and causing uncertainty. it behooves nuni- cipalities to exercise special care in fixing their tax rates. Particularly Is this true of industrial cities where perhaps nine-tenths of the home own CTS are men of comparatively small means. many of them with their homes more or less mortgaged as yet. A single mill up or down in the tax rate means much to such men in these days of high cost of living.
 The priliminary rate fixed by the Board of Aprortionment is one mill higher than is thought necessary by the City Auditor. but President Phelan expresses a belief that the board will endeavor to cut off at least that mill. wait till the clouds roll by''. is a very wise principle of action at the present time. Until more is known of the industrial depression. taxet'on as low as possible should be the rule In addition. care should be taken not tn necessitate higher taxation for an- other year through lavish issues of bonds.

ADVERTISED FOR BROTHER. Shc Was at Ellis Island and Relative
 Read and Came for Her.

W:nsted, Feb. 21-Michael Finkel- stein Is back at his home in New Litchfield Street, Torrington, with his sister whom he found through an ad- vertisement in a New York newspa- per.
 He was greatly surprised a few weeks ago to read an advertisement addressed to him and signed with the name of his sister whom he sup posed to be thousands of m les away. The notice explained that she was de- tained at Ellis Island by the inmi- grafton authorities and was likely to be deported unless relatives appeared to claim her.
 Finkelstein went at once to New York and got his sister. She had ex- pected to find her way to relatives without the'r aid. She had been held at Ellis Island twenty days.

The adjourned meeting of the Dem
 ocratic State Central committee was
 held in New Haven yesterday. and
 there was a long debate on matters
 of ways and means. the conduct of
 the affairs of the party for the com
 ing year. and also on the matter of
 locating the permanent State head

 it came out that .he finances of the
 committee were in excellent shape to

 paign. there being over s6,000 in the
 treasury. and 1t was shown that a
 most active interest was being taken
 in the organizations work.
 The major discussion was upon the
 location of the State headquarters,
 and three ballots were taken upon this
 point. Hartford made a strong fight
 divided between the sixteen members
 present. A second and third ballots
 were finally taken. with the result that it was voted to locate the permanent
 ney Edwin s. Thomas. the secretary Of the Democratic State Central com nittee. in the. Washington building, New Haven.
 The opposition to the selection of the Hartford loca ton was hased main- ly upon he feeling that if the perma- nent headquarters were located there they would he in the rooms of the Hartford Democratic Club. and that for this reason it would be better to have them taken out of that city The following committee was reap- pointed to attend to the carrying out of the appointment of an assistant secretary to Secre -ary Thomas. to be connected with the permanent office: Chairman Chas. W Comstock of Montville: Secretary Edwin s. Thom- as. of West Haven; Andrew J. Rren-
 nan. of Forestville; ex-Mayor James B. Martin. of New Haven. and George Forster of Rockville.
 It is expected that this committee will name John neVicq of Williman- tic, as it's assistant secretary to take care of the permanent organization, ard that MT. DeVico who is a well known worker in the Democratic ranks in week.
 The committeeman represented either personally or by proxy were the fol- lowing: Henry McManus of Hartford, John J. Nagle of Hartford A. J. Bren- nan of Forestville L. urence Pagan of Simsbury. Vim. Froelich of New Ha- ven as proxy for Fx-Mayor Mar in.
 Patrick s. Cunningham of New Ha- ven. John F. Doughan of New Haven,
 Edwin S. Thomas Of Orange James A. Fynes of Waterbury. John J. Walsh of Norwalk. John J. McGarry of Putnam. Thomas J. Kelley of will 'ir.a tic, Chas. w. Hodge of Roxburv

 MAYOR GkYN0R
His Honor Thinks He Would Make a Good Senator Gam paign on Tonight

New York. Feb. 21-Martin w. Lit tleton's announcement of his cand1- dacy for the United States Senatorship has been the principal topic of conver- sation among local politicians of bo.h parties. It is impossible. however. 10 get a definite prognostication from any of the Democratic leaders on the probable effect.
 Charles F. Murphy leader of Tam many Hall, did not go to Albany yes, terday. He was at Tammany Hal during the afternoon. and sa1d that he might i.ot go to the capital this week. When asked if he had read MT. Iittleton's letter he replied In the affirmative. and added;
 ''ft did not surprise me any. ! have understood for some time tna' Senatorship. Of course, his formal an' nouncenent is purely personal mat ter. Any man has g. right to be candidate if he wishes.'
 what effect will it have on the sit uation ?''. he was esked. '"That rests with the members of the Legislature."
 Mayor caynor was equally retieent in specu,ating on the possible effect of MT. Littleton's announcement.
 "He is a very able man" said the Mayor. ana l QO I1Ol tHdt any one will say hat he would not make a good Senator"
 Would he be acceptable to your he was asked.
 why I think he would. There are many men who would be acceptab ( choices to me. I have only announced myself fer one candidate. and thai was MT Shepard. As I said last week the deadlock ought to end one way ol another right away. I would be glad to see the election of MT. Shepard Nr. Little on. Mr. Kernan. or any other good man."
 "Who would he vour choice between MT. Eernan and Mir. Littleton?'
 That's a hard question to answer MT. Kernan Is also very able man All I want Is to see them settle the thing as quickly as possible by the election of a good man"
 MT. Litlleton said that his announce rent was made purely on his ow'' initiative and that be had consulted no poIitical oreanization before declar- ing himself openly. 'But now that am in the fight" said he "I intend tc do all that I can to bring about my election. l will start an active cam paign at once. making speeches al over the State"
 MT. Lttleton's first speech will be before the Mems Club of the Dutch Reformed church of Flushing. l., I. tonight.

THREE AIDE MEN BLOCK
 lB:nAL SUNDAY BILL

The stubborn refusal of Aldermen Harry Leonard, John Elliott and Bar- nett Berman to grant unanimous con- sent for immediate consideration re- sulated last night after one of the bitterest fights ever seen on the New Haven alderman!c floor in long t'me. in the tabling of Ex-Aldernnan Patrick s. Cunningham's petition ask ink the city to support his proposed Sunday baseball bill which is now be- fore the General Assembly. Alderman Leonard of the Thirteenth ward went so far as to refuse unanimous consent for resolution asking the Jud' ciary committee of the Legislature to post pone their hearing on this matter un- til the board acts upon it. The stand of these three members managed to prevent the board from formally ex- pressing itself upon the bill but after the meeting the fourteen aldermen who had supported it signed it as in div dual members.

Practically all of Mr. Roosevelt's 8 characteristic policies will come up for final review" before the 1T. S. Supreme court. with its new Chief Justice and four new Associate Justices, says a writer in Munsey's Magazine. "Chief among them are the government's suits against the American Tobacco Company and the Standard Oil Com pany. If the court sustains the con- tention of the Department of Justice that these immense corporations are operated in violation of the Sherman Antitrust Law. suits may then be instituted for the dissolution of many other similar enterprises" The total amount of capital involved is esti- mated at about ten billions. But whatever the decisions may be, it is understood that the corporations are fully prepared. and that there will be no material dis -urbance of business.

fspecial from United Press. }

Especial from United Press.)
 Washington, Feb, 21.-Serious dam age to Niagara Falls is threatened if Congress fails, at the present session, to extend the life of the Burton Act, it was declared, today. This law, which limits the quantity of water that may be taken from the falls for power purposes, expires June 29. It restricts American electric power companies to what they now have in use and importation of 160,000 horse power from Canada.
 Should the act be allowed to ex- pire, power companies could greatly increase the quantity of water taken from the American side and increase the amount of power imported from Canada. Experts declare the result would be that great rocks now cover ed would be barred and the scenic beauty of .he falls sadly marred. The American Civic Association is making a desperate fight to procure an exten- sion of the present restrictions.

TO HIT THE LOBBY. (New Haven Irnion.)

The Stiles Judson bill which is said to be aimed at the lobby, seems calculated to hit the evil by way of regulation and publicity rather than by obiiteration. It does not seek to deny represen ation to any interest whatsoever. but it specifics that lobby ists. or agents shall be duly reg,s- tered upon a. docket kept by the Sec retary of State These entries also must include the name of the rerson or firm emploving the agent. or lobby ist. also the titles of leeisletive me ts- ures which they. as agents. are en1- ployed to favor or oppose. The mee S. ure also provides that unless an agent s registered with the State Secretary in this manner he shall not be per- mitted to appear before a legislative committee as counsel for any in crest whatsoever. There are number of other provisions included which give evidence of considerable forethought on the part Of the author Of the Dill, and the penalties provided are suffi- ciently heavy to make the way of the transgressor both disagreeable and ex- penSiye
