STRING FEED WIRE
FOR DANBURY LINE

1--WE are at present :stringing
feeder from our power house in the
center of the city to North Main St.,
to supply power for the new Danbury
Bridgeport trolley line" said Supt.
Charles H. Chapman of the Connecti-
cut company today in confirmation of
the report that the Connecticut Co.'s
Hnemen were connecting the wires OF
the new Danbury Bridgeport trolley
line with the North Main street line
of the Connecticut company. The
work of connecting up the power for
the new line has begun and the line
should be ready for use within a few
days.
The fact that the Connecticut COM
pany is to all appearances intending
to furnish the power to operate cars on
the new line has brought UP the ques-
ton of whether, under it's charter, the
company has a legal right to do this.
It will be remembered that there was
trouble a couple of years ago when
the company tried to operate a pri-
vate car line across the Steeplechase
bridge. and there was also trouble
when it was suggested that the Con-
necticut companyFs electrical current be
used to furnish the power to operate
the Yellow Mill draw bridge.
It was stated then that the Connec-
ticut company had no right to furnish
power to any other company or indi-
vidual How the Observation-Disclosures
trolley company is going to get around
this difficulty is not known Supt
Chapman said he didn't know anything
about that phase of the case; all ne
knew was that the Connecticut Co.
was strireing q. feed wire from Its pow
er house to furnish power for the new
line

THE FREIGHT SITUATION

The situa ton along the waterfront
where striking truckers and leaders
of the New Haven road are still out,
remains practically the same as yes
terday though it is asserted that in
ternal troubles with the number of
strikebreaIxers domicfIed in the steam
err Fall River have arisen. Yesterday
it is reported that about Is Of the
men SO employed demanded their
wages which being refused, the men
went upon the rampage, and proceed
ed to clean up the boat and get away
with such articles of value as were
available.
Although there were not sufficient
railroad detectives available at the
time to check the thefts completely
four men were Immediately placed I'M
der arrest. They were Edward For
sett, Fred Englehart, Morrow Fisher
and David Goodstein, of New York.
With the exception of the last named,
who is since alleged to have confess
ed, each was found guilty and SEN
fenced by Judge Foster in the city
court to 10 days Imprisonment in the
county jail.
Rumors late this afternoon were to
the effect that the Whiting street
transfer station was being closed. This
however could not be authenticated at
the offices of the company where it
was said freight was still being
handled there.

Vote is Seven for Bent, Five

Committee Votes Six and
Six, Party Division, for
DeForest and Wilder
Rx our staff Cores


Hartford May 20-Although the Ju-
dietary committee agreed yesterday
upon their reports of the various
judgeships, with the exception of
Greenwich, none of the reports was
submitted today in either branch of
the General Assembly.
In the Bridgeport contest the COM
mittee by a vote of to 5 voted to
report the name of former Represen-
tative William w. Bent for the judge
ship.
BY a strict party vote, the commit
tee being composed of six Democrats
and six Republicans, the committee
voted to support Alderman Robert G.
DeForest for deputy judge.
The Republicans of the committee
were unanimous for Frank L. Wilder,
the present deputy Judge. Five Re
p11bIicans voted for Judge Carl Foster
for judge, Judge Perry of Southport
being in favor of former Representa-
tive Bent.
Attorney John j. Keough, Demo
crat, was the unanimous choice OF the
committee for Judge of that place.
The same is true in the case of At
torney Edward O'Mara of New Ha-
ven, a Democrat, who is recommend
ed for judge while Attorney Booth,
Republican is recommended for de-
putty judge.
The policy of the committee so far
as was possible was to split the places
between the candidates of the two
leading parties.
The report of the committee on the
various judgeships will probably be
presented tomorrow or the day after

Norfolks are
real thing.

For the young man who
wants suit that shall be the
very top of the style, the one
suit is the Norfolk.
It has a style that appeals
especially and powerfully to
young men. There is some
thing about the trim way it
fits and about the lines that
its pleats give; a different
air that is sure to win a
young man favor.
For spring, Norfolk suit is
welcome change from the
styles of the winter. It
seems to be in harmony with
out-of-doors, to fit into the
summer plans, to be the one
sort of suit for wear all
through the outing season.
Dandy lot of Norfolks
ready now, Can't tell how
long that will be the case
for there is to be big demand
for them.
Dandy fabrics, too,-of
light weight and excellent
shades. Tailored so they
may be counted on to hold
their shape and finished with
little touches of distinctive
ness that young men will be
quick to see and to like.

Other states have considered the
methods of making fire insurance
rates, similar to those in use in Con-
necticut. Two policies have been de-
ve1oped.
Some states have endeavored to re-
store competition, and have enacted
statutes declaring the rate making
combinations illegal, or criminal, and.
in some cases, have proceeded against
fixture OF their charters, or to estop
them from doing business in the par
ticular state.
Other states have deemed it impos-
sible to restore competition by law,
and have enacted laws IegaIizing the
rate making monopolies, but, in such
cases, have usually placed supervision
of rates monopo1istically. made under
public authority. generally under the
insurance commissioner.
The Wisconsin commission has re-
Gently recommended the Iegalization
of the rate making monopoly in that
state, and has proposed a statute TO
give the insurance commissioner pow
er to regulate rates when they are ex-
cessive, unjust or undu1y discrinaina-
tory.
This commission also considers the
advantages that would flow from COM
pulsory state insurance of property, by
which is meant the treatment of fire
losses as a public expense. the collec--
ton of premiums as a tax, and the
raised by such a tax.
AS to whether Connecticut should
attempt to reestab1ish competition in
rate making, or legalize the existing
monopoly engaged in making such
rates, your committee is not prepared
to recommend. We believe, however,
that there should be a further and
exhaustive inquiry into the business
of fire insurance in all of its ramifca-
ton, by a commission to be named
by the governor. A bill for this pur-
pose accompanies this report, and is
made part thereof.
The insurance companies doing bus
mess in Connecticut are very i'm
portant feature of the states business
and prosperity. Their interests should
not be disturbed by the state, without
due deliberation. a thorough know1-
edge of the essential facts, nor by leg
islation not duly considered in the
light of the best available information
The state may elect upon the one
hand to attempt to restore competi-
ton, in which case it would probably
be necessary to move for the dissoIu-
ton of the Illegal combination which
now makes such rates.
Or the state may prefer to regard
the monopoly as an accomplished fact,
and 1ega1ize it. In this event it will
be imperative that power to reduce
excessive, unfair or discriminatory
rates should be in some public author
ity. The experience of mankind
proves that in no other way can prices
created by private monopoly be made
just to the public.
