TO CONSIDER PLANS
 FOR CITY ICE PLANT
Moorey and Cough
 lin Constitute Committee. l

s'You are going to build an alms- house to take care of the poor who cannot take care of themselves put what are you going to do for the poor who are outside of the almshouse? asked Alderman Moorey at a meet ing of the Common Council last night when the report sof a committee Of which he is the head was read fla voring the establishment of munich pal ice plant.
 It was one of the questions on the voting machines election day which i the voters favored.
 The matter has been before the council for several months on a res- olution submitted lay former Alder man Frederick CederhoIn. It was referred to City Attorney Pullman who sent a decision to the council that in his opinion the city could not engage in the ice business:
 Members of the board of alder men were inclined to question this de- cision last night. Alderman Moorey being questioned at length on the es- tabishment of the plant finally ex- claimed:
 'T am willing to do all I can to establish this ice plant but I cannot do 1t all alone.'
 'T will help,' exclaimed Alderman John H. CoughIin bounding to his feet. The ready offer of assistance seemed to meet with the appreciation of all other members of the board. Mayor Wilson then appointed Alder man Coughlin to act with Alderman Moorey.
 While the Republican members of the board were pointing out that the city attorneys opinion made the es- tab1ishment of an ice plant illegal, Alderman Callahan jumped to his feet and said:
 ''Let us send the charter to Hart ford then and have it changed
 "You must proceed in the regu- lar way before making such a mo- tion, alderman" said Mayor Wilson smiling. The session of the 1egisla- ture is thirteen months away unless the governor. calls an extra session."
 ''Something should be done." de- clared Alderman Moorey, lon a mat ter which our people have fla vored by a very large majority at the polls. In the almshouse we have many poor people in sanitary quar- ters but outside the almshouse we have many poor people in unsanitary quarters. I claim the people outside Of the almsho ouse are not as liable to disease if they eat sanitary food and they cannot have sanitary food in summer unless they have ice.
 Many of them cannot have ice at it's present cost. In Bridgeport we have 30.000 families paying $2.40 per week for twelve weeks in the summer for ice. This is $72,OO0 and for this sum we could build and maintain a fine municipal ice plant
 Alderman Moorey said site for the plant was available. When ques- tioned further by members of the board concerning the method by which a municipal ice plant would be maintained, Alderman Moorey made the statement that he was unable to present the RnfirA T1rnnnSifjnY7 al Then it was that Alderman Coughlin made his offer of help.

MAN ARRESTED IN
 STAMFORD IS HELD FOR LOCAL FORGERY
Especial to The Farmer.)

Stamford, Dec. 16-At the instance of the Bridgeport authorities the Stamford police are holding here a chauffeur describing himself as Will liam Jay Murphy, 1 Halsey street Brooklyn, aged 23, ana married.
 Murphy is believed to be the man who passed in Providence, recently, a check for $75 drawn upon the bank of James Staples 6 Co, Bridgeport, the check proving 10 be worthless.
 Murphy's arrest followed his pass ing of a similar check in a local cloth ing store. The check came to con siderably more than the amount of his purchase, a suit of clothes and haberdashery, and after the merchant had given him cash for the balance, he became suspicious and reported the matter to the Stamford authorities.
 Murphy was taken into custody and his wife remained in police headquar- ters late into the evening and return ed again today.
 Detective Sergeant Fox is expected from Bridgeport late today to take up the investigation of the Bridgeport check. -ii. t4'S%

GOVERNOR FINDS
 FAULT WITH TEXT
 USED BY CHURCHES
Preamble to CongregationaIist Constitution Criticized by
 Baldwin.

Hartford, Dec. Ex-Governor Simeon E. Baldwin spoke at a, dinner of the men of the Center church in this city Monday night and took occasion to criticise the language of the preamble of the constitution adopted by the re- cent council of Congregational church. eS in Kansas City. He especially crit icised that part which declares ''the steadfast allegiance of the churches composing the council to the faith which our fathers confessed, which, from age to age has formed it's ex- pression in the historic creeds of the church universal and of this commit nion.''
 The governor asserted that this 1an- guage commits all Congregational churches to the exact language of the creeds of the churches of Christendom. He criticised the council for the pas sage of a resolution commenting na- ttonal prohibition.
 The Rev. pr. R. 1T. Potter, pastor of the Center church, differed with the governor, saying that the latter's in depreciation of the language of the preamble is not that given, 1t by those who drafted it or the council which adopted it.

VILLA DEMANDS
 $5OO,OOO RANSOM

Fl Paso. Texas, Dec. 1e-Unless a ransom of S5oO.00o is paid to General Villa for the release of Luis Terrazas, IT,, it is reported, the young man will be executed forthwith. His father, who escaped from Chihuahua City, has appealed to the State Department at Washington.
 There are today more than five hum dred Spanish refugees here, whose property, valued at more than S5.- 900, ,OOO, has been confiscated by Villa. Most of them are without funds and are dependent on aid ssent them by the Spanish at Havana, Mexico City and Vera Cruz. These Spanish re- fugees assert that tn ey remained neu- tra1 and did nof give support to the Huerta government. Their goods were conf1scated on the charge that they had been active against the rebels.

Huerta will be without a Congress, as that specially created organization has been formally adjourned. Its most inn portant acts during the session were the ratification of the Presidents as- sumption of dictatorial power over the various departments of the govern ment, after dissolving the preceding Congress, and regranting to the Presi- dent this same power, which gives General Huerta, until Congress con- Venes again, the sway Of a dictator.
 The Congress was most unobtrusive, interfering not at all with Huerta's ideas of government. Its most notable act, aside from those directly con- nected with the executive schemes, was the ratification of a concession to a Belgian syndicaSe to construct B. 900 miles of narrow gauge railway.

REBELS WAIT ONLY FOR GUNS BEFORE RENEWING
 ATTACK ON TAMPICO

Mexico City, Dec. 16-As soon as artillery arrives from Victoria, the re- bels, it is reported, will renew their attack on Tampico. The rebels were forced to retire under the fire of four federal gunboats, but it is believed casualties were slight. In the three days fght1ngs the rebel fire did little damage in the city. The heaviest loss sustained at any one point by the fed erals was on board the gunboat Bravo, where thirty-nine were killed and many injured by the premature ex- plosion of shrapnel.
 It is reported that the government has sent six thousand men north from Torreon, to block General Villa when he starts south from Chihuahua City to march on Mexico City. The gov ernment confidently asserts that it IS now in a, position to crush Villa.
 The Zapatistas made raid early yesterday which carried them inside the limits of the federal district. They attacked A1ilpa Alta, only sixteen miles from the capital itself. The federal garrison was routed with considerable loss and the town was footed. On the approach of another federal force the rebels withdrew to San Lorenzo, a short distance away in the mountains.
 Business conditions here are rapid ly approaching a crisis. Despite the holidays business shows a great fall ing off on all sides. Grave anxiety has been caused by the startling drop of various Mexican bank shares on the Paris Bourse. With few exceptions the currency of the State banks is be- ing refused. All bills are closely scru- tinized when offerer in exchange. The shortage of silver has been relieved only a little by the recent issue of one peso notes.
