Dennison Wants Federal
Incorporation Law
Especial from United Press


Ruffalo. N. Y, March 9-An inter-
state trade commission and federal
Incorporation law would clarity the
trust situation and give small bust
ness fair play with big business, &C
cording to the belief expressed to the
civic Club here today by Assistant At
torney General Winfred T. Dennison.
'"These steps must be TAKEN" he
said. before competition can have fair
play or even legitimate combination
can be fair. The experience Of the
past three decades and especially the
experience in connection with the
Standard Oil and Tobacco trusts has
determined plainly enough that, if
competition is allowed to go to the
extent Of freebooting it must destroy
itself and lead to monopoly.
1.-THE law. in order to give fair play
to the employees and to the consumers,
must either prohibit or it must con-
troll. The one thing it cannot do is to
keep hands off,

Greenwich Hotels Want
Summer Liquor License
County Commissioners Also
Notified that East End
Manufacturers Will Ap-
peal In Dumschat Case.

The summer hotel liquor license
problem is one which the county
commissioners will have to consider
for the next few months. Several of
the big hotels in Greenwich want liz
censes for the summer months but
the commissioners do not see how
they can accommodate them.
Although the legislature recently
passed law allowing summer hotels
even in no license communities to
sell liquor four months in the year,
the situation in Greenwich is comp1i-
Gated. The town already has the
number of licenses to which it is en-
titled according to population. The
commissioners will probably secure
legal advice before they take any ac-
ton in the matter.
The International Silver Co. and
other remonstrants have appealed
from the decision of the commission
ers in granting a renewal of a license
to Charles Dumschat at 3S3 Bunnell
street. They will take the case to the
superior court.

A nervy motorcyclist this morning
put a. stop to the runaway inclinations

HINDU JUSTICE.
The Case Of the Cat That Carried the
Fire to the Cotton.

The Case of the Cat That Carried the
Fire to the Cotton.
Four Hindus. partners In business,
bought some cotton bales. That the
rats might not destroy the cotton they
purchased a cat They agreed that
each or the four should own a par
ticuiar leg Of the cat, and each adorn-
ed with beads and other ornaments
the leg thus apportioned to him. The
cat, by an accident, injured one OF Its
legs. The owner OF that member
wound around 1t rag soaked in oil.
The cat. going too near the hearth.
set this rag on fire and. being in great
pain. rushed in among the cotton bales,
where she was accustomed to hunt
rats The cotton thereby took IRE and
was burnt up.
The three other partners brought a
suit to recover the value of the cotton
against the fourth partner who owned
this particular leg Of the cat The
native judge examined the case, ana
this was his decision:
'.rhe leg that had the oiled rag on It
was hurt The cat could not use that
leg. In fact. 1t held up that leg and
ran with the other three legs. The
three unhurt legs therefore carried the
IRE to the cotton and are alone cub
pable. The injured leg is not to be
blamed. The three partners who own
ed the three legs with which the cat
ran to the cotton will pay one-quarter
or the value OF the bales to the partner
