sDf ELIOT, s1 TO-DAY.
 STAUNCH DEEEENDE DEsR OF
 CAUSE OF ALLIES.

Dr. Charles William Eliot presi- dent emeritus of Harvard and the dean of American educators, will pass his elghty-nrst milestone to- day That age has not dixnmed the mentality of the venerable educator Is evidenced by his recent voIurnino1ls contrtbutions to the press on current topics, especially the aH-afDsorbing subject Of the war. pr. Eliot is a stauneh defender of the cause of the allies and tho 1'-es4dent's declaration os neutrality has rot prevented the EIaxVard sags from freely expressing his views which are far from Hat nering to the Kaiser and the German war party. In a recent address pr. Eliot insisted that German literature sand philosophy are inferior to those Of England and France and that even fnstne domain of applied science the Germans have only appropriated tEse invent ons of freer nations. The 6 errnans he added, do not know wlaat liberty is .and have no concep- lien of liberty such as Americans en- joy.
 The notion that clafvalry, progress. civilization and love for fellow beings have advanced in the world has re- cstved terrible setback from Ger many in the opinion of pr. Eliot.

FRS OPPOSE
 REGUL TON FOR

Officers of Companies With Foreign Business Object
 to New Measure

Hartford, March 20-TSFo matters were before the committee on banks this week Senate Bill. No. 343 and House Bill, No. 169. both relating to private banks.
 Waiter s. 1oy1e of New Haven. said that he represented fifteen prfvaste concerns, and if they were obliged to. comply with the regulations now in force regarding investments. they could never do business in the world, they would be wiped out In many eases the money was loaned to for eigners by their bankers upon the ba- sis of the charactar of the men and said the business was done mainly be- tween people of the same nationality and there was seldom any losses.
 Representative Morehouse speaking for the bill, said that the bin were in troduced because of the failure of Burr 6 Knapp of Bridgeport, and he felt that some law was necessary to protect depositors in private banks, either by bond or in some other way as was required of savings banks He recommended that such banks be lln- der some sort Of supervision by the bank commissioners.
 Representative Hall said it was his opinion that private bankers doing business in Connecticut, to the rnagni- Jude represented, ought to be reguIat- ed and under supervision. The banker ought not to take any more risk than the depositor would
 Abner F. Hayes of Waterbury, rep resented Italian, Lithuanian and Jew ish private bankers, and spoke of the good conduct of the business compan- ies which acted as forwarders of mon ey also came within the scope of the bill Any sudden jolt in the matter of supervision. h esa5d. would discoar- age thrift and work harm to both the private bankers and the deposit ors. It would be disastrous to pre- 1 vent investment in Connecticut real estate or mortgages of any kind. There should be a distinction between brokers launching wild cat schemes and people receiving money 1egfti- mately and doing a straight business.
 MT Day of Marsh, Stoddard s Day Of Bridgeport represented T. l.. Wat son and others of that city and in aop- position to the bill stated that pri- vate bankers did not do the same bus- iness as trust companies. The ex- tent to which the state ought to go was to ascertain that they were sol- vent but to attempt to have them re- arrange the system Of business of the old line private bankers at once, would prove disastrous and drive them out of business. He favored letting the matter go over to the next General Assembly.
 Philip HoIzer said that the keynote to the situation is: s1s the private banker solvent? ?'' A bank can have a reserve and be insoIvent but it can ot have a. surplus and not be solvent l He recommended a surplus above lia- bilities and have the books open to l the examination of the bank scomrnis- sioners- SoIvency was the chief re- Quisite for the private banks, and sol I vency should be the chief concern of the Legislature. He said that an honest banker was not going to carry property on his books at an inflated value. but would carry it at it's honest

THE STOCK MARKET
fHenry Gews.

s
 The New oT1k stock market con tinues to show moderate fluctuations. Any special strength appears to be promptly checked by foreign selling. On the other hand, there is no general weakness, and the better grade stocks are readily absorbed. Very consider able amounts of American stocks and bonds have been sold here on foreign account during the past few weeks, without causing any appreciab1e weak ness. There has been more or less sell ing on short account, presumably to anticipate further foreign liquidation. Purchases are being made with much discrimination, investors showing a decided preference for short term ob- railroad shares. There have been fur ther offerings of government, munici- pal and public service issues, which verse influences. Money is easy and foreign exchange continues weak ow- ing to the large supplies of commer- ciaI bills, based on shipments of cot ton, food stuffs and war materials. There has also been heavy selling of exchange on behalf of one or two lead ing European governments, presurna- bly, in connection with military oper- ations. On the Stock Exchange the tendency of prices has been downward. The war is now entering upon a new stage; carnage and destruction are about to begin on a scale never before experienced. It is inpossible to feel otherwise than depressed by stFeh un- speakable horrors and suffering.

PROHIBITION.

The author of the first state wide prohibition law to be adopted in the United States was Nel Dow, who was born in Portland, Maine, III years ago today. Dow formulated and was the chief advocate of the famous Maine law which was adopted by the legislature of his native state in 1851, and by which the manufacture anc sale of alcoholic beverages were sproniEdted, The law still remains on the Main statute books. and the example of that state has since been followed by number of others. De- spite the law. Maine has never been quite dry and in few of it's cities and towns is it impossible to secure sat4sfa ction for a thirst that craves alcohol. Neal Dow was an earnest advocate of temperance from his youth, and until his death in 1s97 he was the leader of the prohibition movement in America ,and aided also in it's promotion in other parts of the world He was Prohibition candi- date for President of the United States in 1880. He fought through out the civil war, and was a briga- dier-general of volunteers at the close of that conflict.

ALL REFERRED LAWS
TO STAY ON BOOKS

PHOENIX, June 10.-None OF the
laws enacted by the second legislature
of the State OF Arizona in regular ses-
sion will be referred to the people at
the general election next year. No
referendum petitions were filed yes
terday with Secretary OF State Os-
born, and the total number OF names
fled previously was but rs All OF
these were directed at senate bill No.
2, relating to the assessment OF jury
fees as costs in civil cases.
No attempt. or practically no at
tempt, was made to refer the law re-
lating to the semi-annual payment OF
taxes. But one petition was filed
against this measure, and it being
faulty drawn up, was returned to
the person who circulated it. Those
who were active in the campaign to
refer the two measures gave up all
intentions OF filing their petition two
days ago, and it was stated yesterday
that they would devote their efforts
to accomplish all the changes desired
at the present extra session.
