HAD NO PERMIT
Chauncey Baldwin technically Violates
 Cattle Law, and Settles.

Cattle Law, and Settles,
 Deputy Cattle Commissioner Frank A. Ingram, of Hartford, came to Canaan, Monday, to investigate the shipment. of cattle from Massachusetts into Con- necticut by Michael Cagney, of Mill River, in violation of the law of 1911. which requires the procuring of per init from the Commissioner of Do. mestic animals, or certificate of health from the Massachusetts Commissioners.
 It appears that MT. Chauncey Bald. win, of Cornwall, to whom the cattle yoke of oxen were assigned-had seen the advertisement announcing the cat tie for sale for $225, the address of the advertiser being gisen as "Uanaan, Conn.," He had sent his check for the amount to the address given, and came to Canaan, Monday morning to take the cattle into his possession. On arriving here he found the cattle in possession of the commissioner, and was notified that he would have to answer to the charge of bringing them into the state, from Mill River, Mass, from which town Oagney had brought them for delivery. MT. Baldwin retained Attorney J. O. Roraback, and went before Justice Ford, where it was shown that he could be held liable under the clause, 'Caus- ing to be shipped" etc. Rather than fight the case under this technicality MT. Baldwin decided to pay fine of $5 and costs of S4.91. Besides this there was an expense of $1O for examining the cattle, by Dr. Oorwin, the veterinary, making total of $19.9l, which MT. Baldwin paid and for which MT 'Cagney, the seller, who was actually responsible for the interstate transportation will be held to account. ..s.-.-. #.,s. :.
 The law under which the deputy com- missioner proceeded in thls case is Sec- tion of Chapter l59, Acts of 1911, "An Act for the Inspection and Transporta- tion of Cattle: r'Ss' -.i
 'No person shall. except in accordance with the provisions of sections two and three of this act and under a permit as pSOflicu lOi tueI6lu.

Y, where he had puruhas- ed a cheap work. horse, bringing the horse with him. on hls journey back to TorrinRton. Deputy Cattle Commis- sioner Ingram happened to be here that day, in connection with the cattle case of Mr. Baldwin, related in another column, and the horse was submitted to him for examination, as required by the law relating to the shipment of domestic animals into Connecticut from another state. Commissioner Ingram had the horse subjected to examination py Veter. marian G. E. Corwin, and it was found that the animal was suffering with a bad case of glanders. By authority of the Commissioner.

THE LAST STORM
Heavy Snow, Followed by Rain, Makes
 Wretched Travelling Condition.

Heavy Snow, Followed by Rain, Makes
 Wretched Travelling Condition.
 The second blizzard of February, fol- lowing close on the heels of the first, ar- rived rather unexpectedly, Saturday night. and got it's fine work in so effect uslly that by Sunday morning the streets and sidewalks were about as deeply buried as they were before the snow .plow and shovel brigades dug them out after the storm of the week previous. The snow continued to fall during the greater part of the day, sometimes in binding clouds of large. swirling flakes, and again in fine, pelt- ing form that closely approached the point of rain. The storm was accom- panied with high and shifting winds, but the snow was so heavy and wet that it stayed where it was put, and there was no drifting.
 In the afternoon it changed to rain, which continued to come down all the rest of the day and during Sunday night, transforming the deep snow into deep and dlsagreeable slush through which the wayfarer who had business out of doors was compelled to blow hls way, from ankle-deep to knee-deep. The "snow broth" settled in the low places, in street. sidewalk and door-yard. form ing ponds of varying depths, and Mon day morning there was general move ment all over town Tn the direction of clearing channel through the gutters, which had been foolishly neglected after the previous snow. fall, and the surface water was led, as far as possible. to the sluice,ways and ditohes. D,
 In the low places the roads were flood ed, and in some instances cellars are re ported to have been invaded by the sud. den melting of the snow. The great depth of frost In the ground prevents tho absorption of the water, which must stand. in such low places, until the sun and wlnds dispose of them. Moderate freezs-ups have retarded the melting process to some extent. and thus far pre- is tremendous body of snow remain. ing, and prolonged thaw, with or with out rains, will convince the community that the worst has not yet been reached. There are fine possibilities for mischief in the great depth of snow that IS solidly packed over all creation, and the people should be prepared for ltD

That all public dances should be li- censed and that five women censors should be appointed to attend such pub lie dances and pass upon the morals of the participants is the belief of Mayor Donovan, of Meriden, who seeks to have a bylaw covering all these provisions passed by the council.

day that owing to deficiency that is
apparently prevalent among the school
students in spelling. more attention
would be given the development of that
study, and that he had already out
lined a plan by which a betterment
would soon assert itself in this par
ticular course of study. This plan in
cludes a series of uniform spelling
tests. and the project seems highly
commendable.
In glancing over the review of last
months work, an item that should
appeal favorably to the parent is the
new system by which the courses of
study are pursued in Grades VII, VIII
and TX of the Clark Grammar school.
These three grades are now designat-
ed as the Junior High school. The
new system divides the subjects of
study among the several instructresses
thus allowing them to specialize on
the particular study that she teaches.
This idea was first introduced at the
beginning of the fall term and its
unquestionable success has now firm
ly established 1t as permanent sys-
tenn of instruction. Recently a vote
was taken among the students of the
three grades; not to judge from their
ideas, but to merely allow them to ex-
press their sentiments on the matter,
and a large majority favored the new
plan. 49,.
Those that were opposed to 1t stated
that IT did not allow the teacher to
overrun the time Of the periods and
gave them more time for the perusai
Of one subject. In speaking of the
matter, Mr.. Wadsworth stated that the
system was originated to create pune
tuaiity and thoroughness OF study and
that the desired effect was showing
itself already. 1t would be well for
parents 70 visit the school and irives-
tigate the system thoroughly.

Train, Charlotte, N. c., Jan. L-Anti-
trust and rural credit legislation are con-
sidered of paramount and immediate i'm
portance by President Wilson Though
the influence of the Executive will be
exerted in behalf of measures also dur
ing the present session of Congress, he
indicated in conversation with the cor
respondents aboard his train today that
in the immediate future these two sub
iects would occupy the forum of House
attention.
The President showed clearly that these
reforms in particular had been on his
mind during his vacation at Pass Chris
tian, Miss Besides sketching his trust
measure, which will be characteristicaii
brief. Mr.. Wilson carefully studied iii
report of the commission that wen
abroad to study rural credits.
He examined also a bill on the subje {
prepared by Senator Fletcher, chairma
of the commission, and said that he had
just written the Florida senator asking
him to confer with him about it at the
White House The President remaI ked
that the bill seemed sound in the main
though he thought some additions ought
to be made. In giving his attention now
to the trust and rural credit questions
the President feels he is not only carry
ing out the promises made in the party
platform. but is fulfilling at the same
time an informal understanding with
members of the Senate and House who
sought to bring the subject Of rural
credits into the discussion Of the cur
rency bill and to prohibit interlocking di.
rectorates and other trust evils by pro-
visions in both the currency and tariff
bills. While conferences on these ques-
tions have not all been arranged, the
President is planning to devote the re-
mainder of the week to conversations
with members of his cabinet and leaders
in Congress and will read his trust mes
sage to a joint session next Monday or
Tuesday
The President said today that he was
unadvised on late developments in the
Mexican situation. He seemed somewhat
annoyed that Charge O'Shaughnessy
should have been drawn into the lime
light recently in press reports that he
was not in harmony with John Lind and
the Washington administration. The
President had pointed out previously
that when Mr. Lind visited him the work
of Charge o'Shaughnessy was mentioned
only In the most favorable terms.
The train ride today was restful for
the President and his family. Few stops
were made, but at many of the towns
and cities the special was run through
slowly while the President stood on the
back platform and waved his hand In
response to the cheers.
