Mr. Kelly said that if MT. Wheeler would follow the ruling of the build- ing commission that he might use plate glass instead of brick.
 MT Kelly next started the ecmmlt- tee by saying, According to the code my wife has got to keep on the run if she goes into a dry good store to buy me a shirt" He read a section where persons other than policemen and other officers are not allowed to stand in the aisles of a dry goods store or theatre.
 Wallace G. Taylor of the Rowland Dry Goods Co. asked for a modifica- tion of the code by eliminating the aisles of dry goods stores from. the same category as theatre aisles.
 s. H. Wheeler said. 'This code will stop a good class of apartments. The factory people have asked for a good class of apartments at a low rent and the Ant1-Tuberculosis soci- ety has asked for sanitary apartments The builders of good apartments should not be hampered by too strict rules. There has been an unneces- sary expense to the building of g. good class of apartments in this city. 's
 MT. Wheeler also spoke against the timber requirements for mill construc- ton, saying that he had built acre4 of buildings and had never been re- quired to use as much material as specified by the code.

COUNTRY IS TOO | MUCH GOVERNED
Dean Rogers, of Yale Law School, Hits at Further Fed
 eral Concentration
. FAVORS STATE POWER
Refers to Colonel Roosevelt's Idea in Harrisburg Speech as Shock
 ing Doctrine"

Providence. R. l., Jan. 25.-Dean Henry Wade Rogers, of the Yale Law school, Prof. Alfred Bushnell Hart of Harvard and John 2. White, of Chicago, discussed the question, 'Ts further concentration of power in the federal government desirable?'' at the annual meeting and banquet of the Economic club last evening. Dean Rogers declared that this country is already fast becoming too much gov erned. He favored giving more pow CT to the state governments. Prof. Hart, on the other hand, expressed his belief in single head for, he de- clared, we are not 48 different peo- ples, we are one people scattered in AS states and territories Dean Ro"ars opposed strongly the further concentration of power in the nation, and what he characterized as the disposition to deprive the states of the rights which they now enjoy under the constitution. He criticised also the disposition in the states to deprive the local communities of their right of local self-government and to concentrate power in the state governments to be exercised through state commissions. He declared that the men who wanted to break down stateN lines and destroy the consti- tutlonal rights of the states were po- litical dreamers, and he quoted John Marshall to the effect that "No po- litical dreamer would evef be wild enough to think of breaking down the lines which separate the states, and of compromising the American people into one common mass
 Alluding to Col. Roosevelt's speech at HarrisburyS Pa. yin October, 1906, in which the latter advocated an ex- tension of national power through ju- dicial constructio on,. he declared it Q be "a shocking doctrine" to come from man occupying the position he. held and who had solemnly sworn to preserve, protect and defend the constitution" Dean Rogers agreed with De Tocqueyille that a central ized government was fit only to ener- vate the nations in which it exists
