Should Keep the Peace.

OAlVO4u 4ACCp I1lC
The labor unions having AFRO
gated to themselves the open process
Of anarchy, | therefore regard the
enactment of statutes putting them
on level with all other citizens, in
the requirements of keeping the
peace and not damaging the rights
OF the public, as being the para
mount issue now before the Ameri-
can people. The non-union labor peo-
pie keep the peace, why should the
labor unions be allowed to break it?
The members of labor unions are
entitled to the cordial good will and
cooperation of all good citizens in all
lawful deeds they do collectively and
their members do singly, on the live
and let live policy. 1t is only when
they substitute the process of an
archy for the process Of law and at
tempt to establish class preference
that they become liable to public
condemnation. They have equal
rights with all other citizens, but
no superior rights.
Crystallizing, therefore, the en-
tire issue above outlined, the Consti-
tuition of the United States is broad
enough to give impartial protection
to the lives and property of all citi-
zens of its republic. If the present
statutes do not secure that result.
then statutes necessary to that end
and to the protection Herewith Of
the interests of the general public
should be enacted. The law, not the
will of class, must be our rule of
action. And in this day when pro
gress' has become a political catch
word, all good citizens should stand
for the renaissance of impartial en-
forcement of the law That should
be our immovable rock.
favor greater restrictions on i'm
migration. Too many undesirable
foreigners are now entering the I'm
tied States | believe literary test
should be applied. and that all fail
ing in this should be debarred.
As to Foreign Element.
1t is a lamentable fact that where
the foreign element in this republic
is strongest we have the paradox of
the greatest disregard of the Sab
bath and the most insidious attempts
to apply public funds to sectarian
schools. Reverence for religion
should be inculcated and schools
should be fostered as the nurseries
of democracy but there should not
be, even indirectly, any steps leading
toward union of church and state.
No religious teacher should be given

MOTOR SPRINKLER WILL LAY DUST IN
 LISTED STREETS
Apparatus Will Sprinkle Those Not Permanently
 Paved, Until They're Oiled

Since the new motor driven sprink- Ter has been started at work com plaints are being registered that a number of streets are not being sprinkled. Today stories were current that only the streets where there is permanent pavement would be sprink- led and that on other streets no means of laying the dust would be afforded until those streets are sprink1ed with oil. In view of theSfact that property owners on these streets are required to pay their sprinkling assessm ents just. the same, property owners on these streets were naturally indignant.
 Director of Public Works Jacob A. Courtrade when told of the stories this morning said:
 s'The motor sprinkler is thoroughly covering all streets in Bridgeport where the property owners are assess ed for sprinkling whether these streets are permanently paved or not. heard no complaints. We intend to sprinkle with water until the time comes to use oil. Then of course the work will not be so hard. The motor sprinkler is. giving satisfaction. Of course we cannot sprinkle the streets when the weather is so cold it makes icicles and if we put down too much water at present and there comes a thaw some of the streets would be filled with mud

WADE NOT TO BLAME. HE
 SAYS, BECAUSE BABY WAS
 BURIED AT LAKEVTEW HOME

Meyer Wade. 8 5 State street, whose baby was buried at Lakeview home, and later. when protests arose, re- moved to an orthodox Jewish burying ground, said today that he was not to blame for the child's burial in the un- orthodox plat.
 He was not financially able to pay for the burial, and went to the Chari- ties officials for funds They granted permission for the burial at Lakeview home, but would not bear expense of burial elsewhere. He communicated by telephone this message to Harris Kahn, chairman of the burial board of the Hebrew societies here.
 Kahn claims that if the father had told him that the child must be buried in Lakeview, he could have acted to prevent it. MT. Wade says he did not believe there was anything further to tell Kahn than he had told him. Thus the misunderstanding arose that led to the unusual interment, and the eX- bs,reoation, on Friday afternoon.

FIND DEADLY BOMB
 NEAR HOME OF MAN RECENTLY MENACED
New Hartford Farmer, Who Sold Out to Water Co.,,
 Threatened With Death

New Hartford, Conn.,, April G. State policemen came here today to investigate the finding of an infer nal machine yesterday forenoon near the home of Frank R. Baker, in a remote section of the town. The bomb was found by Charles Smith and Henry Strattman, who took it to an old barn to open it.
 The fact that they are living today is due to the extreme care they used in taking the machine apart, as it was found to contain nitro -glyceripe e in small bottles, other ingredients and matches placed against sandpaper in such a way that the ordinary open ing of the box would have ign1ted the matches and caused an explosion. A guard was stationed at the Baker home during the night but there were no further developments.
 Recently MT. Baker sold his prop erty to the Hartford Water Company which is to construct an immense res ervoir> at Nepaug, and had planned to go in a few days after his eff fects had been disposed of at auc- ton, to North Brookfe1d, Mass, to live. His mother, who is 93 years old. was to make her home with him.
 Baker said today that he had, since selling his property, received a mum Der of threatening 1etters one. of tho most recent telling him that he would not be permitted to leave the state alive.
 Edward Baker, a brother, who is Fl years old, was arrested about a year ago charged with having put wood alcohol into some medicine his mother was to take. He is now un- der $2,5o0 bonds awaiting trial on that charge

SEC. DANIELS BARS
 ALL LIQUORS FROM
 OFFICERS' MISSES

Washington, April 6-Secretary Daniels has prohibited the use of al- coholic liquors lon, board any naval vessel or within any navy yard r station'' anyw here within the juris- diction' of the Navy Department.
 The new regulation establishes equality between officers and the en- listed men, as the latter have not been allowed to have wine mess or alec -hoic beverages on board ship.
 The navy order goes into effect on July 1.
 TEXT OF DANIELS ORDER
 The text of Daniels order Is as follows:
 ssIhe use or introduction for drink ing purposes of alcoholic liquors on board any naval vessel, OF within any navy yard OF station, is strictly pro- be held directly responsible for the enforcement of this order.''
 The order is based largely on rec- concentrations of Surgeon-Genera1 Braisted, who cited many reasons why the wine mess should be abolish ed
 The Surgeon General makes the point that there "should not be on shipboard, with reference to intod- cants, one rule for officers and an other and different rule for the en- listed personnel He notes recent case had never tasted intoxicating drinks until he did so in the wine mess on his cruises Others. he states. who have been disciplined for drinking to excess have made similar statements
 YOUNG OFFICERS TEMPTED
 The Sl1rgeon-Genera1 holds the gov ernment has no right "to permit this temptation which too often destroys the highest usefulness of young of ficers, and that the naval profession is the one in particular which re- quires a clear and steady hand"
 There. are seven Inesses on a bat t1eship, the flag officers, the cap tains', the wardroom, the junior of ficers', the warrant officers, the petty officers and the general mess.
 The wine mess furnishes cigars, beers and light wines to all the of ficers who are members of the mess at cost. The officers who do not be- long to the wine mess pay 10 per cent more for liquors.

Cancellation of Carother's s Exequatur Does Not
 Worry U. s.
CONSULAR AGENT WILL FOLLOW REBELS
Carranza Has Not Yet Ask ed for Recognition of Con
 stitutionalist Party

Washington, April 6-The caneella- ton by the Huerta government Of the exequatur of American consular agent George C. Carothers because he. sent to Washington despatches saying the rebels had taken Torreon from the Huerta forces failed to disturb state department officials today. The Huer- ta governm still denies Torreon has fallen.
 Mr. Carothers obtained his exequatur when he was accredited to the Mader0 government and stationed at Torreon. Since the outbreak of the Carranza revolution he has had a rowing com mission in northern Mexico and his exeQuatur from the Mexico City gov- ernment has been of little value to him, all his dealings being with the constitutiona1ists-
 It is the intention of the American government to keep CarOtherS with General Villa and the constitutional ist leaders to make prompt representa- tions for the safety of Americans and other foreigners and to look after their interests generally.
 Should MT. Carothers find it neces- sary to go into territory controlled by the Huerta government, he may not be able to do business with its local authorities but there is no prospect that he personally will be inconveni- enced or prevented from making ob- Servations as an unofficial representa- tive Neither John Lind nor William Bayard Hale had any exequatur while in federal territory.
 Official advices telling of the expuI> sion of the 600 Spaniards from Tor4 reon by Villa. were expected during the day. Until the Spanish ambassa. dor calls it to the attention ef state department officials here there is -1it.2 tie likelihood of any action by the Washington government. :
 The United States itself has issued warning to it's own citizens to leave those parts of Mexico where military operations are being carried on and has more than once intimated that other governments-m might take similar steps.
 No request for recognition of the constitutionalists has been made by Carranza- President Wilson indicat- ed today that the United States would be- guided by developments as they arose in determining such questions.
 The President, however, spoke of the practice which the American govern menet had followed with respect to Mexico previously and pointed out that Washington waited almost two years to recognize President Porfiria Diaz half century ago.
 MT. 4Ria1lo, the ambassador from Spain, received official notice today of Villa s expulsion of Spanish subjects from Torreon an& prepared to make representations in protest to Secretary Bryan.

FLAG MINUS ONE.
 STRIPE FLOATS ON SCHOOL HOUSE
Patriotic Folks Wrathy When Complaints Fail to
 Effect It's Removal

Because a. flag which is minus one red stripe has been kept flying over Bryant school at Maplewood avenue and Poplar street, the office of Charles w.. Deane, superintendent of schools Henry Ross, Spanish war veteran first noticed that the flag was lacking a stripe several days ago. He com plained to Grace B. VanWyck, prin- cipal of the school: She promised him she would have the flag taken down and this promise was carried out. But Ross claims that the flag was put back there today.
 It seems that the lower red stripe had been torn off by constant Tapping in the wind. Ross thinks that it is wrong to have 8 flag flying without the proper number of stripes especial 1y over an institution where many children of foreign born parents are being taught
 Today he teIephoned Supt. Deane about the matter and he claims that Supt. Deane answered that the flag, would remain where it was, as it was, as long as he saw fit to keep it there. MT. Ross was very indignant at Dr. Deane's attitude and he took the mat ter up with Henry J. Seeley, former adjutant-genera1 of the Grand Army of the Republic. MT. Seeley was un- able. to get in communication with Supt. Deane.
 Miss Sarah B. Boudren, chairman of the Municipal Patriotic comnnittee, which is composed of representatives of all patriotic societies in the city, and William A. Lounsbury. former de- partment- commander of the Spanish War Veterans also sent in complaints.
 Ross and Lounsbury said that the matter would be brought to the atten- ton of N. W. Bishop camp, U. s. w. ", at the next meeting of the organ ization.
 The Spanish war veterans claim that Federal laws forbid the display ing of a United States flag that has been mutiliated or flag with adver- Using matter and also require that the flag shall be displayed over all public school houses.
 Superintendent peane was not in his office when a Farmer reporter tried to get his versions of the complaint, neither could he be reached by tele- phone.
 Clerk Alfred J. Hagen of the Board of Education said today that all -Jani- tors of public schools have, orders to exchange flags that become torn or mutiliated for new flags. He said that it is customary to keep an old flag at the schools to be raised on particular ly stormy or. windy days.
