MINING COLLEGE
CLASS BANQUET
DIR. MoNAiR DISCUSSES RELA-
TONS BETWEEN ~. c. NJ. AND
THE STATE UNlVER-
sITY.

The annual Michigan College OF
Mines class dinner held at the Douglas
House last evening proved a very sue
c,ssful event. Il was an evening of
good fellowship and sparkling oratory
and was thoroughly enjoyed by all
present. W. 4. Rigby presided as
postmaster and was very successful
IN that capacity and although his in
PRODUCTIONS imposed some rather diff
cult responsibilities on those upon
whom lac called. they were equal to the
occasion and helped 10 make the even
ing one Of thorough enjoyment Among
those who responded 10 toasts We're
w r. ingalls, and William Kelley, both
Of whom spoke briefly.
DR. r. W. McNair made the banquet
the occasion for the announcement Of
the appointment of Professor George
L. Christensen. to be the successor TO
Professor Hood Of the mechanical en-
igneering department who resigned
short time ago TO become chief me-
chanical engineer of the United States
Department OF Mines The appoint
ment OF Prof Christensen is looked
upon with much favor.
Mr.. McNair gave very interesting
talk during the evening. explaining
the relations existing between the Uni
versity Of Michigan and the Michigan
College OF Mines.
Mr. McNair's subject was. "Mines'
and he stated that of late there seems
20 be a belief that there is a move
ment On foot for the absorption of the
Michigan College OF Mines by the Uni
versity Of Michigan and that it has
the backing of Governor Osborn.
DIR. McNair explained that this fear
has evidently grown out of a misunder-
standing of the purposes of the confer
ences held between Presidents Hutch
ins of the University Of Michigan.
Snyder of the Michigan Agricultural
college and McNair of the VI. c. NJ, the
real purpose of which is to bring about
greater cooperation between the three
state institutions, something that has
heen lacking i'm the past, and To avoid
unnecessary duplication of study, He
called attention to the necessity Of
going slow and acting with a perfect
understanding of the situation under
consideration and expressed confidence
that she conferences would result I'm

New Haven Road Not
 To Cut Dividend

In spite of the article in the Boston Transcript declaring that the time could no longer afford to pay an 8 per cent dividend it is the general be- lief among railroad men and direc- tors that there will be no cut in the dividend for the present.
 One of the directors Of the road said yesterday. There is absolutely no chance of a reduction in the divi- dend. Outsiders may write and talk about the earning capacity of the road all they want to, but the fact remains that the directors vote on the size of the dividend and the directors will not vote to reduce it"
 Another railroad man recalled the fact that not long ago President Mel len declared that so long as he was president there would be no reduction of the dividend rate if it was possible to earn it and he saw no reason why the road couldn't earn it. At the last meeting of the board of directors he said practically the same thing.

CAN WIDOWS RECOVER DAMAGES BECAUSE
 HUSBANDS WERE KILLED BY IMPURE WATER?

Actions to recover damages from Ihe Torrington Water Company have been instituted because of the typhoid epidemic in Torrington, as result of which 22 persons died and some 200 were afflicted with the disease. The plaintiffs are Mrs. Johanna Her ring and Mrs. Weston D. Miner, whose husbands died of the fever. The gist of the complaint is that the com pany had agreed to furnish a supply of pure water, and that the water rect result of drinking it the deaths occurred. And that:
 The, defendant failed to institute ing said waters or took any way to purify and cleanse said waters beftfre they were turned into the pipes for distribution The defendant could have, at a small outlay and at small expense have caused the water to he pure. The defendant knew that the water was vile and in contaminated condition and did not notify the plain tifrs intestate of the condition of the water. @s
 There are few precedents for such lawsuits. The disposition which the courts make of this case may have z widespread effect upon the future actions of owners of water supplies
 The dangers of contaminated wa ter are well known. Practically ev- cry important work on water engin- sering recommends the filtration of water obtained in whole or in part from surface drainage and used for drinking.

health. They not only refuse to know the truth, but pretty steadily revile those who do know, and attempt to tell the truth. Hence, in more than one state, evolution. which should have taken an orderly course to pre- determined goal, has remained almost unperceived by rulers. and the "in- fuential classes" until social revolt, of the most extreme and revolution ary nature, was at hand.
 The men whom windhorst address ed were as unconscious of the future as was Louis XVI when he assem- bled the States General, more than a century before.
 Let the lesson be to this country. The way to forestall revolutions is to redress wrongs. The state must sat- isfy just demands.

DiSbarment For
 Louis Pe1ruCeIIi

New Haven, Jan. 27-Attorney Louis M. PetrucelH of Meriden, formerly of this city and Bridgeport, was yester- day disbarrsd from further practice at the bar of the State of Connecticut. This action was taken after he had been formally charged by State At torney filling with taking $37 from John Ferrucci of Southington for the purpose of paying the costs in the case of Frank Caruso of Southington. which $37 had never been accounted for.
 Attorney Charles J. Martin explain ed to the court that while he supposed he was acting for PetrucelIi he had not heard from his client since the ely court trial in December when Pe- trucelli was acquitted on the charge of obtaining money under false pre- lenses. He said that. under the cir cumstances, he thought that he ought to withdraw from the case but would do as the court suggested.
 Judge Curtis directed that Attorney Martin remain in the case.
 State Attorney Alling then put Fer rucct and Caruso on the stand. Fer rucci said that he had consulted Pe- truceIIi about securing Carusos re- lea SC from jail and the attorney told that for $50 he would see that Caruso was liberated. Ferrucci gave Petru- celli s37-alI he had-and promised to give him the balance when he could. He said he never saw the $37 afterwards and Caruso was not re- leased. He sa i'd that when he inpor. tuned Petrucelli about the money the ing becs use the courts were closed.
 After hearing the evidence Judge Curtis ordered the state attorney to draw up the decree of disbarrment-

THE DISTRIBUTION OF WEALTH DEPOSITED
 NSAVINGS BANKS IN CONNECTICUT

The report of the Bank Commis- sioners for the year ending Dec. 30. 1911. has been rendered to Cover nor Baldwin. It is an interesting document, showing as it does the wealth of the great mass of those whose main safeguard against acci- dent, sickness or unemployment is a deposit in savings bank.
 That the savings bank is the in vestment representative of many thousands of poor people, a mere glance suffices to show.
 The total number of depositors was 5e2.sss and the total amount on de- posit, $2ss,157, 1000.
 But 5O5.s7S depositors owned on- ly $1o1,ss2. .O0o, while S7,O12 depos- 1tors owned the balance, or $174,765.- 0oOs
 That is, of every six men who carried savings bank book in 1911 five had an average deposit of a iit- tle less than SPOT each while the sixth had something over $2,OO0.
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1912-01-27

This is but a rude way of showing the DISTRIBUTION of wealth in savings banks, though it serves to bring the facts vividly to the mind.
 The commissioners classify the de positors into four groups; those hav- ing less than $1,OO0, which includes the $505,s76 whose deposits have been averaged; 57,4OS who have more than $1.OOO but not more than $2,0OO; 29,222 having over $2,0O0 but not more than s1O,OOO; 4S2 who have over $1O,OOO, or $6.37s, ,0OO jointly.
 The number of depositors does not accurately represent, however, the number of individuals who have mon ey in bank. The same person fre- quently carries a deposit in one, two or more banks. This is especially true of those who make large de posits, so that the number of depos- itors carrying accounts averaging $2o7 each requires relatively less dim unition to get the number of per sons, than the number for larger de- positors.

The taxes against insurance companies brought in $S,SO5 more revenue the past year than in the previous year, while the savings banks in paying S630,277 in taxes contributed an ad ditional S31.S70.
 The nonresident stock tax showed a gain, for it was s2O5,526 the past year, a gain of $45,O87.
