The trouble between Louis A. Fisk
and the Shore Line Electric railway
covers a considerable period. Fisk,
who is now head of the North Bran

run through his property, for his own
use, secured permission to build his
road from the railroad commissioners.
The Shore Line road was not success

George L. Ford of North Branford,
over which his road is to run, refus-

A PROTEST AGAINST
LEASING NATURAL BEDS
To the Editor of the Farmer:

To the Editor Of the Farmer:
Sir-Having read the article in your
paper about what Mr.. Corbin has 20
say regarding the oyster beds and the
natural beds. 1t interests me as it does
a few hundred more Of your readers
that have made their living taking
oysters that nature has planted on the
natural beds year after year, some
years more than others. but always
enough to support us and our families.
Now for the last ten years there have
few acres of natural oyster ground.
Not contented with what they have.
they are greedy to freeze out poor
men. Is it risht? Is the State of
Connecticut getting so poor that she
must sell those grounds or lease them
to outside parties so that we will have
to take our little boats and go further
away and try our luck in the fishing
industry? We haven't heard of the
Government selling the waters where
the fish swim just yet. Maybe If we
Nantucket or Edgertown or other fish
ing hamlets might be pleased to see
fleet of boats working off these
coasts like there have been off Bridge
port for so many years. I think the
merchants would. How about the
merchants of Bridgeport. Why don't
these large planters try to buy the
natural grounds from the State of
Maryland where the best oysters come
planted at such an expense as they
do here The State of Maryland pro-
tects her natural growthers and stakes
out the grounds for the different size

DIVORCE D.S2UPTING
LAND, SAYS GIBBCNS
Cardinal Calls it Social Scourge More
Blighting Than Mormonism.

Baltimore, Feb. Elm his sermon de-
livered at the Cathedral yesterday
morning, Cardinal G bbons spoke
strongly against the evils of divorce,
saying in part:
''If Christianity is the highest type
of civilization-and who can deny it,
then is it not true that we are retro
grading instead of advancing on GER
tain lines?
There is social scourge more
blighting and more destructive Of fam
lily life than Mormonism. 1t is the
fearfully increasing number of divorce
mills throughout the United States
Husband and wife are separated on
the most flimsy pretexts.
"a lady prominent in social life once
said to. me in Newport: I do not rec
ognize any law. human or divine, that
can deprive a husband or wife of the
right to separate and to enter fresh
espousals when they do not live in
harmony together
You speak, I replied, of your
rights, your privileges. But you have
not word to say of your duties and
obligations
eff every man and every woman had
regard for duty to self. to State and
Government, then the rights and
privileges about which. so much is
heard would take care of themselves.
There is nothing more lamentable than
a young girl growing up to woman
hood with her parents separated"

ADULTtRATIOh OF FOODS
Official Report from State
Agricultural Station on
Foods and Drugs

The Agricultural Station at New Ha-
ven has Just issued it's annual report
on Foods and Drugs, prepared by Jonn
P Street.
Extended study has been made of
the quality of all the brands of can
ned peas. canned soups. various fla
voring extracts. ice cream cones. mlnce
meat and tomato ketchup which were
bought in Connecticut.
No sample Of canned peas contain
ed lead Copper was found in four
teen brands. but all of these were i'm
ported. and in twelve of them its pres
ence was declared on the label. Tin
in appreciable quantity was found in
lightweight brands. The imported
peas as a rule contained more Of it
seems to be quite often used to sweet
en- peas slightly.
The examination of canned clear
SOUPS showed that the amount of nu-
triment in them at the best is very
small, while in some there is almost
tetic value as "appetizers" and aids
to digestion. Neither the, clear soups
nor the tomato soups were found to
contain preservatives or other adulter-
ants.
Some of the f1avoring extracts are
genuine. but many Of them are sor-
nv mess. Two of the fourteen "al-
mond extracts contained prussic acid,
one nitrobenzol. and half of the num-
Der were of less than standard
strength.
OF thirty-four ginger extracts exam
ined twenty were below standard or
classed as adulterated. A few Of
these. low in alcohol and ginger ex-
tract and sold in hip pocket" TASKS,
seemed specially prepared to relieve
"that tired feeling in prohibition re-
gions.
Ice cream cones are commonly made
from -four and sugar with a favor and
sometimes eggs are used. Twenty
seven smples were tested. A coal
tar dye was found in on and boric
acid, add as preservative. in four
others The use of boric cid could
only be excused as the cook excused
excessive garlic in the omelet. 1.-The
eggs wre so bad" In any case it's
use is illegal.
Tomato ketchup made under clean1y
conditions from sound fruit needs no
added preservative. The federal pure
food law rulings allow not to exceed
Oh per cent. of sodium benzoate, and
nearly all of the artif1cially preserved
ketchups bear guaranty preserved
with one-tenth per cent. of sodium
benzoate" F'orty-nine of the sixty
two samples having this guaranty con-
tanned more than the specified am
cunt.

SPEAKER SAYS COOK IS
OUR CHAMPION FAKER

Declaring that DIR. Cook is the
champion fraud of this.-and perhaps
of all ages.-Prof. Herschel c. Parker.
member of the Explorers Club of
America. delivered a very interesting
lecture Saturday night before the
members of the University Club.
The speakers assertion regarding
DIR. Cook was based not only on the
North Pole fiasco, but more particu-
larly upon the Mt. Mckinley expedi-
ton. DR. Parker himself led an ex-
petition to Mt. Mckinley and while
the expedition failed to scale the
mountain. it demonstrated one thing
very conclusively-that Dr. Cook was
passing off a gigantic fake in telling
the public that he had succeeded in
making the ascent The speaker
showed how cleverly Cook had faxed
a photograph purporting to show him.
self at the summit of the mountain.

PREFERRED AND
COMMON STOCK.

There in pending before the GEN.
eral Assembly a constitutional amend
ment. passed by the House two years
ago. which provides I hat no incor-
porated company shall have more
than one kind of stock This is OBJ
viously intended to prohibit the issu-
anoe Of both common and preferred
stock
Ordinarily. the plan of such double
issues IL to supply a preferred stock
with assured dividends for investment
purposes, and q common stock for,
voting purposes. the latter to receive
no dividends until the demands Of the
former have been met, but to hold
the voting power exclusively. This
f4nds to make the market value of
the preferred stock high, and that Of
the common stock low. Corporation
promoters may thus market their
preferred shares at high prices and
retain control Of the corporation at
low cost through the common shares.
whether this rather sharp practice
operates to the public benefit may
be reasonably doubted. One effect is
to give control to men who have COM
paratively little investment in the
corporation. Another effect is to
stimulate speculation in the shares.
Such are. in part, the reasons for
the passage or the pending constitu-
tional amendment by the House two
years ago. and they appear to be
measureably strong.
II corporation may properly have
two kinds Of stock, it may have three,
four or dozer varieties. with gradu-
ated degrees In the matter of divi-
dends- There il as much and as good
reason for the dozen as for two. The
plural issuance may not be improper
ly used In some instances, but it is
capable of other than proper use.
In the judgment Of the Farmer, the
pending constitutional amendment
should be sent to the people for final
action. We are very confident that
their Judgment would be right.

When 80 able and influential Re-

election of Lorimer invalidated by

view, Bulkeley as a member of the

The argument upon the Lorimer
side seems to have taken new turn.
1t is urged now, in substance. that
with the seven tainted votes thrown
out the total is so reduced as to give
Eorimer a majority Of the remaining
votes what difference does it
make" asks Senator Root, whether
Lorimer money was used to gain
Lorimer a majority, or to reduce the
total vote, when either is accomplish
ed by means of corruption?" In
either event, 1t is the seven tainted
votes which carried Lorimer through;
whether accepted or thrown out. the
result is the same. The dominant
party in the Senate will blunder
gravely If they do not unseat Lori
