Graft Charged By Attorney In
 County Building

Special from United Press.)
 New Haven, Feb. 15-Charging tha+ the supposed $495, 900 cost of the new county court house in this city will actuaully be about s1, 3O0,OOO. Attorney F. H. Bishop, one of the commission CTS having in hand the erection of the building, makes a public state ment alleging a disregard of public duty on the part of the other mem bers of the commission. In respect to mural paintings for the structure, Bishop charged that a contract has been awarded to an inexperienced artist at a rate s14.320 in excess of what first class artists asked for the work. He quoted figures to prove that the cost of the building is far beyond the original intent of those who authorized the expenditure.
 Bishop said he could not secure fair treatment from the other commission CTS and having seen several things which have seemed to me improper" today, took the people into his con fidence.

THE FRIENDS OF THE POOR

The District of. Columbia. like most populous American communities, con- tains many money lenders. It is esti- mated that S2,OOO,OOo a year is loan ed to government employees at interest charges ranging from 24 per cent. to 120 per cent. per year. The evil be- came so serious and so many govern ment employees are entangled in the net of usurious interest that Congress attempted a measure of regulation. The result is bill requiring license fee of $500 to be paid by all who should desire to engage in the loan business, with provision for open books and government inspection of accounts. But the Dill authorized a rate of interest of 24 per cent. per year. the legal rate in the District being per cent.
 The bill was made the subject of earnest debate between those who fla vored a rate of 24 per cent. per an mum and those who favored rate of 12 per cent. per annum. Many facts regarding the money lending business were disclosed. Rep, Victor Ser ger told of man who borrowed $60 and paid $s5o in interest Berger advised him, Take a shot gun and shoot the loan shark if he tries to take away your furniture" Nicholas Longworth, son-in-law of former president Theodore Roosevelt describ- ed the method by which such loans were regulated in Ohio
 Rep. Fowler, and Rep. Campbell led the fight for the lower rate of interest.

DEAFNESS.
 HEAD NOISES New Book on New MethOd- How to Recover Hearing Without Drugs or
 Electric Devices
Message of Hope and Joy to
 All Afflicted Persons

There is hope of a we1l-based kind which should bring joy and ultimate contentment to multitudes of persons who have been troubled for years with deafness or head-noises.
 Dr. Coutant, an able specialist, has evolved a newly perfected method for treating cases where the hearing Is not perfect or where the sufferer is haraSs- ed by ringing. roaring. buzzing or other disagreeabIe noises in the head. It ap- pears that about 95 out of every hun dred cases are from causes amenable to proper treatment
 pr. Coutant does not advocate the use of drugs or electricity. He relies chiefly upon cooperating with Nature in bringing about a speedy and e6ectu- al cure of morbid auraI conditions. Re marka ble cures are reported. many of them being in the cases of deafness that had existed for about 20 to 40 years. With the description given in his newly published book. the learned docto provides a long series of letters, written by persons WI had been given up as hopeless. and who were speedily cured st home without loss of time and without inconvenience by pr. Couta nt's natural home method.
 Anyone who is interested can write to a dozen or hundred of the persons who. not long ago. were victims of deafness or head-noises tor bothl and who are now delighted to proclaim themselves as mHryellousIy benefited or completely cured
 pr. Coutant is not one of the ire spOnsible quacks, of which there is such a large number. but is reput- able. responsible. ncentiate. practising physician with a third of 8 century's active experience.
 The doctor believes there are many who are troubled with deafness, etc, who might be perma nen1Iy rreed rom their inability to hear and from tin nituS (noisesl if they would do as oth- CTS have successfully done. merely fol- lowing the advice given.
 The book, which any reader can ob- tain from the author. Dr. George E. Coutant. 2G9 D. Station E. New York. N. r, has been declared by many to be worth its weight in gold One needs only to write for it and the treatise will promptly come in a plain wrapper.

THE WIDER USE OF THE SCHOOL PLANT

The failure of the motion of MT veness to make the school houses of wider usefulness may be attributed to that quality of the mind which makes it receive new things slowly Men are largely creatu-~s of habit. The enormous part Of their actions are dictated by custom and tradition. The child laboriously learns to walk. The bitual. and the chiId's mind is left free for other things. Habit is useful thing. except when it prevents thought, investigation and intelligent action.
 A peek into the mental apparatus of those who voted against MT. Veness' resolution would disclose no doubt an array of objections of the, most con ventional character Since those ob- 5ections were formulated the socIs.l center idea has spread, and thought full men have perceived the folly # keeping a great public plant, like the school houses, idle so great a portion of the time. They have readily seen, upon reflection, that it is right that the people who pay for school hous- es shall use them for other social purposes.
 MT. veness had in mind simply making the school houses the places where caucuses, primaries and politi- cal meetings might be held, with the double purpose of making the school

THE WIDOWS SOCIETY"

For e years the Widows Society has done in it's humble sphere a gen erous and useful work. The sphere of woman, by which is meant no more than the scene of her usual and greatest activity, is the home. Yet the occupation of housewife carries as a rule no fixed compensation, no standard share in the earnings of the man, no certainty for the future. The business of being wife and a mother, while highly Iauded by dig nitaries temporal and spiritual, car ries with it no claim upon society an- aIogous to the 1dier's claim upon his country. Thus, frequently, when the husband dies his widow is left in forIorn condition, and if she be of ad
 vanced years, without income and with no skill in anything save house. wffery, she is thrice unfortunate.
 These are the women the widows Society," was founded to protect. It has sheltered and protected many. It

Pr0CraStinatiOn
 Charged Against
 HarbOr Commission
Especial from United Press. )


 New London, Feb. 15-The state commission having in charge the mil lion dollar improvement of the local harbor is severely condemned for ''procrastinattion' by local busuiness- men, led by Frederick P. Latimer, an editor. The latter said:
 ''If the one million dollars appro- priated by the last legislature for the construction of a steamship ter minal at New London is ever to be expended to the best advantage, the committee having the undertaking in charge will have to display greater energy than it has yet manifested. There has been time enough sincA the commission was instituted for defin- itte plans to have been drawn for the terminal itself, a site selected. nee essary property purchased and the work ot construction actually under way.
 They have been diIly- -daIlying for months and have accomplished no more in that time than a few plain, ordinary, common-sensed pushing men might have done in as many days" Governor Baldwin and State Sena- tor Bryan F. Maher are members Of the committee.

will shelter and protect many more. Its work will go on until society es- tablishes old age pensions, and recog- nizes motherhood as a duty to society which implies from society a recipro- cal obligation.
 Such views as those but now ex- pressed are common to-day. Laws to make them effective have been for mulated, or are being formulated, in more than one parliament.
 But 62 years ago it was generally supposed that "every tub must stand upon it's own bottom" The duty of the mother to society was plain as the nose on your face. but the duty of society to the mother, to the widow, to the orphan, was not so clearly recognized.
 Let us then lay a tribute of praise on the door step of the widows So- ciety." It has been as an oasis in a desert land, and as a running brook in a thirsty neighborhood.

 MT. Campbell raised the question if the purpose of the bill were not "to permit a certain line of gentlemanly bankers to engage in business from which they are now prevented, be- cause they do not care to take chances with the law

plant more useful, and the machinery sible. Both would seem to be worthy purposes. The German citizens who come to these shores soon establish centers for collective social enjoy ment. The community hall is one of the first conveniences established by the Hungarians. Slavs, and others who migrate to this soil.
 The Board of Education in consid- ering MT. Veness' very moderate prop osition, might well have marked the plans of Rev. Fr. Komara, indirectly before them, who will include in the parochiaI school which he will build. gymnasium facilities, means for social gatherings and the apparatus by which a very high social life will be maintained within his parish, which comprises some thousands Of citizens of Lithuanian nativity.
 We submit that the project of Fr. Komara is in accordance with the best ideals of what a school ought to be. But the action of the ma iority of the Board of Education will give few citizens a feeling of pride in it's contemplation.
 Whether or not there are certain le- gal difficulties in the way of imme- diately making a more generous use of the schools, is beside the ques- tion, since the action of the majority appears not to have been predicated upon such an assumption.
