CRIMINAL COMMON PLEAS COURT

What ought to be done with the Criminal Common Pleas Court county? The main trouble with this that has had too little to do Useless things arophv and away To maintain the establishment of this court costs $19OOO annually. The court but it is lessened revenue because it's sentences of fines almost invariably less than the imposed by the lower courts that from standpoint it is dead loss. Eight trials in and four trials sixtenths of court year, represent cost of than $2OOO per trial The undue lenency of the criminal court has touched it with the aint of political motive Politics noble profession but is the practice of ustce and the two do not ngle with ad vantage to the tribunal in which they mix.
 At the time there is necessity for court petty may be heard upon appeal without necessity of the offenders lying in jail between terms of the Superior court.
 Whether the Criminal court should be consolidated
 with civil of the Common Pleas, with udges having criminal and civil jurisdiction, whether the should be retained with cost of maintenance proprate it's business matter for those experienced in affairs of law to determine.

UNDERWOOD HOLDS TARIFF SITUATION WITH FIRM GRIP
Connecticut Congressmen Unable to Effect Change in Metal Schedule --Donovan Will Try to Amend
 Schedule Affecting Hats

The leader has asked the members Of Congress the question: Which road shall the government take, the one that insists on the protection .of prof it's, the prolonged policy of fostered growth for our industries, the cessa- ton of development that follows where competition ceases ;-or, on the other hand the gradual lowering of our tariff to a plane where our man. ufacturer must meet honest competi- tion; where he must develop his bus mess along economic lines, where, when he contests for control of his home market, he is forging the way in the economic development of his business to extend his markets around the world?
 MT. Underwood's arguments in com batting all questions have been bas- ed the theory that the committee has kept in mind the distinction be- tween the necessities and the 1uxuries of life, reducing the tariff on the nec- essities and making the 1uxuries bear their proper proportion of the tariff responsibilities.
 CHENEY BROTHERS ACTIVE
 Horace and Charles Cheney Of south Manchester called upon Representative Lonergan on Saturday to secure his support to have rates upon silk made specific instead of ad valorem. They figured that when the duty is levied according. to- the value that there is danger of underva1ution. While with the tariff against the imported goods according to the yardage the question of value does not have to be consid- cred.
 TAX ON INSURANCE BENEFITS
 Life insurance comdpanies have suddenly became alarmed over the proposed income tax bill which applies the tax to beneficiaries of insurance policies. They have flooded the mem+ bers of the Connecticut delegation with te1egrams. MT. Lonergan who comes from Hartford will take the matter up with the Ways and Means committee. Repr resentative Mahan said yesterday that although the clause would affect beneficiaries over S4,O0O he had not received any com p1aint from prospective beneficiaries, but all of the kicks had come from the companies.
 MARIAN AND WOOL SCHEDULE
 MT. Mahan has been interesting him. self in the 35 per cent ad va1orem duty imposed by the bill upon man ufactured woolen goods. He believes that it is too high when it is taken into consideration that raw wool is to be on the free list. He will make an effort to have the bill amended when the wool schedule is reached.

Frank w. Woo1worth, who has brought the American skyscra aper to it's apotheosis in the magnificent structure bearing his name which is now nearing completion in New York, was born sixty-one years ago. It is quite possible that he has established a record that will stand for all time in the great edifice that towers near 1y 300 feet above Broadway, for even in New York there is a tendency to- ward curbing the ambition of builders. Eiffel Tower in Paris, with a height of 984 feet, alone Is higher than the Woolworth building, but Buenos Ayres is now planning a tower that will reach the height of 1,173 feet. The worlds highest offee building, outside of the United States, is in Toronto the Canadian Pacific bui1ding-but this will soon be eclipsed by the Roy al Bank building, to be twenty stor- les in height, in the same city.

CBy Our Washington corres.)

Washington, April Awhile the Connecticut Congressmen have made an honest effort to amend the meta schedule of the Underwood tariff bill it looks here as though the bill would pass the House unamended So well has Leader Underwood got the ma jority in hand that it seems as though there was not the slightest chance of break in the program of the Ways and Means cOmInittte except that per haps the Congressman from the wool growing States may accomplish a break in the program for free wool. At least 50 members from 20 States claim, that they want a 15 per cent duty and assert that if there is to be a duty upon manufactured woolens there should also be a duty upon raw wool. But after President Wilson won his fight for free sugar against the strong sugar interests 1t does not look as though the wool men were going to stand much show of changing the program. There is a question in the minds of the members of Congress as to which is the most convincing and persuasive ta1ker President Wilson or Leader Underwood. The latter has stood on the floor of the caucus and combatted every argument presented in favor of an amendment to the bill in a most masterful manner: The only change that has been wrought in the bill has been in putting shoe ma chinery on the free list.
 The members of Connecticut used every argument that they could find, themselves, as well the ammuni- tion furnished them by the manufac- turers who were willing that there should be a change from the high pro- lection plan of the Payne-Aldrich bill now in effect, but who wanted the cut to be moderate one at this time None of the protests has been based on the ground that the Republican Payne-Aldrich bill was just and equitable.
 UNDERWOOD'S POSITION
 The claim of MT Underwood in sup porting his bill is that the election of the Democratic party placed upon the party the responsibility of revising the tariff downward in keeping with the demands of the people. The commit tee which prepared the bill, took two years to do so and it is believed that this is more time than has ever been given previously to the changing of tariff. He has told the Dem ocratic members that the proposed bill is go- ing to help the commerce of the coun- try, and relieve the high cost of liv- ing in due time, and that at the same time no hardship will be worked upon any properly conducted business.

Charles Henry Alexander Paget, sixth Marquis of Anglesey, will be the recipient of congratulations to- day on his twenty eighth birthday. The title of Baron Paget, held by the young noble, dates from 1549. The first Marquis of Ang1esey was created in 1915, as a reward for his valor at the battle of Waterloo. He was a field-marsha1 and commanded the cav airy in that historic conflict. The present Marquis succeeded to the title on the death of his cousin. the fifth Marquis, in 1905. He married the eld- est daughter of the Duke of Rutland, Lady Marjorie Manners. The Mar quis's younger brother, Lord Victor William Paget, recently married Miss Olive Meatyard, known to Gaiety Theatre audiences as Olive May. Both Lord AngIesey,, and his mother, sought to dissuade the infatuated youth from marrying a woman of the stage, but, all their efforts having failed, they showed themselves good sports and attended the wedding. The Marquis gave his younger broth CT a wedding gift of $5,000 year. Lady Ang1esey was consptcuously ab- sent from the ceremony that allied the Pagets with the stage, and none of the Duke of Rutland's family was present.

The first great exhibition of fire works in Europe, so far as known, was witnessed in Florence on this date in 1888. Fireworks have been made In China since remote ages, but were not invented in Europe until 1860, and did not reach the point of affording a real spectacle until the display in Florence, which gave great impe- tus to the industry. The first really magnificent spectacle of this kind in England were in celebration of the peace of Ryswick, in 1884, when the display cost $60, ,oO0. The peace of Ak la-Chapelle, in 1748, was followed by a splendid display of pyrotechnics in Green park, London. In 1770, at Paris there was a fireworks display in cele- bration of the marriage of dauphin, afterward Louis XVI, and the explo- sion of some of the pieces led to a panic causing the death of a thou sand persons. Since the beginning of the United States fireworks have been largely used on Fourth of July ce1e- brations, and with sucn disastrous eff fleets that stringent laws have been passed regulating their manufa cture, sale and use.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

The first person to appear in black clothing as a symbol of mourning is thought to have been Anne of Brit tany, the queen of two successive kings of France. Following the death of her first husband, Charles VIII, she made her first public appearance AIS years ago, April 13, 1498, clad all in black, to the great amazement> of all who saw her, since white was then the customary mourning apparel. In China, white is still used as signifi- cant of grief, while the Turk, mourn ing for a lost relative, clothes himself in violet In mourning for the dead, the ancient IsraeIttes refrained from washing for a period of at least sew en days, and sometimes for a month. The Greeks and Romans lasted a custom not without scientific sane ton, since grief or any other strong emotion prevents the digestion of food. The wearing of black in honor of the dead is a custom that has recently come in for attacks from physicians and refOrmerS.

mate triumphs of the founder of the
 international banking house of Selig- man, which now has esta blishments
 in New York, London and Paris.
 When James Seligman was born in
 Baiersdord, Germany, April IA, 182G,
 his father was a dealer in woolens
 in a small way, and his mother eked
 out the family income by conducting
 a little shop, in addition to caring
 for her household and her brood of
 eleven children. James attended school, until eleven, when. he became a weaVer's apprentice. Tn the mean time, one of his brothers, Joseph, had
 emigrated to America and secured a position as cashier in a coal mine at the fabulous salary of $34 a month. James and his brother William deter
 mined to do likewise, and when the former was fifteen they set out by
 wagon for Bremen, which they reach ed after two weeks. They engaged passage at $40 each on a, sailing ves- sel, which carried 400 steerage pas sengers, packed together like sar- dimes, seven. to a bunk. The passen- gers were sprovided with one coarse and scanty meal daily, and the re- mafnder they had to provide for them selves. The passage took two months, and while en route smallpox broke out among the passengers. James was among the victims, but recovered, and landed in New York with some fifty dollars as his total capital His first job was as apprentice to a car penter in Bethlehem, Pa, where he totled six months for his board. His brother Joseph them came to his as- sistance and loaned him $500 with which to buy a peddIer's stock of jew elry and notions. With this stock he started out from Bethlehem, and on his first day sold $100 worth of goods After working through Pennsylvania he went South, and cleared over thousand dollars in his first year. Three of his brothers then decided to take up peddIing, but they were not as successful James, and opened small stores in Olabama while James continued on the road.
 Before the outbreak of the war the Seligman brothers opened an import ing house in New York, and the prof its from government contracts made them comparatively wealthy. After the war they opened a banking house in New York, with allied houses in Frankfort, Germany, Paris and Lon don, all in charge of members of the family. The Seligman banking houses have been fiscal and naval agents of the United States government since 1868, and have been represented in the | New York Stock Exchange since 1869. The Seligmans were the first to mar ket United States government bonds 1 in Europe.
