ASK OWNERS TO |
BUILD SIDEWALKS
AT own EXPENSE

A resolution introduced last night
by Supervisor Robert Single Of the
roads committee, provides that work
be. at once begun III the laying Of side
walks of full width on the four sides,
OF Central Grammar School square.
The resolution, while finding no dill
ficulty in passing the board. served as
the starting point for general discus.
sion concerning sidewalk lines, and
the laying of them within. the Ore linn
it's Mr. Single stated that he, be-
lieyed II possible to go ahead at once
with q request to scitizens within the
FIRE limit district to lay their side
walks. He said that he believed at
least 90 per cent Of such citizens
would respond willingly.
Those who do not thus respond
could be compelled to do so as soon
as sidewalks were laid, but 1t was Mr..
Shingles idea that the work could be
expedited by issuing such a request
at once.
The public press has advocated in
editorials" said Mr.. Single. that we
begin at the central parts of the town
and work out, rather than begin work
in some outlying district, and / be-
iieve the press is perfectly right In
the matter. If we wait to establish
grades in the fire limit district, the
matter must needs suffer months and
months of delay" $50,
Mr.. Single said that a resolution
covering the request would be pre-.
scented at the next meeting of the
board. A general discussion by the
other supervisors evinced the fact that
they were willing for him to go ahead
with 1t.

WILL TRY TO BLOT
 OUT BASEBALL POOLS
Bill to That Effect May Be Presented
 in the Legislature.

Before the present legislature con-
 cludes the strenuous program which 1t
 has apparently mapped out for itself, it is likely that 1t will be asked to con
 slider a law aimed specifically at base
 ball pools. While the present status
 prohibiting gambling in various forms covers this subject, it is hoped that a.
 definite bill will serve to prevent the violators from finding loop holes as they have usually done in the past whenever attempts have been made by the authorities to stamp out this evil. The bill, according to report will be
 drafted by Sidney W. Challenger of
 Bridgeport, official scorer and schedule builder of the Eastern association and
 president of the Eastern Baseball Writers association.
 While last season was exceptional Ill many ways and although various other
 reasons were advocated for the finan- cial failure of many of the minor league clubs, it was generally admitted that the operation of baseball pools played quite as prominent a part. if not more so, in the falling off. of gate receipts as the year before. This is explained by the fact that industrial conditions were worse than in other seasons and fans who at other unles had had enough money to play pools and attend games as well. had to choose between them last season. The majority of them selected the pools There are always those who contend that any man who wants to see d baseball game will not stay away and play baseball pools in preference, but the argument Is not held up by actual facts.
 While there Is about as much chance 1 of winning in a baseball pool as there 1 Is in policy tho average man who plays it figures that it costs little to ] get in and he has a lot of fun for his money, with the additional chance, l long as # is, of some time copping the 1 prize
 It has been due to this class of men ! largely that baseball clubs in minor league cities fail of support and when money Is scarce and the baseball pools l flourish it Is the club owner who suf-

PETITION TO CHANGE
 NAME WAS DENIED
Hogan Family of Boston Deemed It Detrimentai Socially.

Boston Jan. 21.-The decision of q probate judge today defea ted the at tempt of q family named Hogan tc change it's name. The case has beer in the public eye for weeks. Assertins that the name was a, business, social and political detriment, the family petitioned for leave to call itself HIo- mans, but after Robert Romans, a lawyer, had. intelposed objections, the family changed it's petition and asked for the name of Homan.
 Counsel for the Society for the Pres ervation of New England Antiquities and for the Homan family of Marble head, entered appearance in opposition to this change, stating that the name was peculiar to old New England stock and use by other persons would be unjustifed. On the witness stand members of the family gave their req sons in detail for desiring to drop the name of Hogan. one of them saying that the use of the name in song and story in connection with 'Hogans al- ley constituted an objection.
 The judge said he found the reasons given not sufficient to justify a change

EAR 1914 LEAN
FOR GREAT LAKES
Vessel Owners Show Loss of 34 Per
 ceUt. Compared with 1918,

Detroit, Mich, Jan. 2I-The year 1914 was a. lean year for rGeat Lakes vessel owners. due to reduction in the ore movement, which showed a de- crease of 34 per cent. from that of 1915, according to the report of Will liam Livingstone president of the Lake Carriers association, submitted at the annual meeting of that organi- zation- here today. Besides the lack of business, 54 sailors lost their lives in sllipWreCks, which was "a rather high averag in the words of the president. Twenty five vessels were lost during the season.
 Tt would require better vision than your president possesses to discern the silver lining in our operations dur ing the season of 1914" said Mir. Liv- ingstone.
 There is reason to believe that 191 , will be a year of marked recovery. '' he said, a buying movement of pig iron has started after many months devoid even of inquiry; recognition has been accorded to the railways of their right to anadVance in freight rates; and 1t is inevitable that we will be called upon to replace the wastage caused by the senseless and unneces- sary war now raging in Europe,
 From an operating standpoint how ever the season showed a consfCerab bIe increase in efficiency. While no cargo records were broken. the average cargo carried was the highest ever and the averaF~ stay in port was considerably diminished From the underwriters standpoint, the season was also quiet generally

 GOOD NATURED IRISHMAN''
So Described by Former Governor Fort
 of New Jersey.

New York. Jan. 21.-James M Sul- hNan, American minister to the Do- mlnlcan republic. was described today as a big hearted, good-natured. hon. est Irlshman' by former Governor Fort Of New Jersey: as 9 man "actu- ated by high purposes by John G. Gray of Wilmington, Del, and as "a man good enough for San Domingo by James K. Mcclure, former mayor Of Syracuse. All three were witnesses today at the inquiry by Senator elect Phelan of California into the fitness of the minister to hold his post
 Mir McGuire one Of Sullivan's en- dorsers for the post said he went to Santo Domingo to seek contracts from the government after Sullivan was ap- say that the fact that Sullivan was minister to San Domingo influenced him in going there and that "a kind word from Sullivan would have help cd him in his negotiations with the government He obtained no contracts, however. he said, on account of a change in the ministry.
 Former Governor Fort, who headed a commission which last summer at tempted to compose the differences be- tween the Bordas government and the revolutionists in San Domingo said he had made an informal inquiry there into Minister SulliVan's conduct after certain rumors had been brought to his attention, but that on the whole, his impression of the minister was ia Norable. He said he knew nothing against him except .Carelessness in his personal attire, which, he added, was not Tn evidence on public occa sions

 land

New York. Jan. 21--Public officials in New England have met the New York, New Haven and Hartford rail road in a helpful. and cooperative way in it's effects to obtain remedial leg Islation in that territory Chairman Howard Elliott of the road announced today. The announcement was con tanned in a statement that Chairman Elliott gave out after d meeting of the directors, which read:
 The New Haven board considered the report presented by Chairman E1- Eott and General Counsel BuckIand. dlaI legislation in Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut and au- thorized those officers to try and ob- tam the changes required, in order to provide a better basis for taking care of the financial needs of the com pany- Consultations have been in progress for several months between the public service commissions of the various New England states and rep resentativeSs of the company, about this matter so important to New England as well as to the railroad.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
STOCKS CONTINUE TO ADVANCE.
Steady Gain in Open Bond Transse
 tions Regarded as important.

New York. Jan. 2f-Stocks had their fourth consecutive advance c4 the week today, despite persistent profit -takins in standard shares an further professional manipulation in secondary issues. Business was slight ly larger than on Tuesday, when there was established a, high record for vol Urne of dealings since the reopenine ot the exchange. Of even greater i'm T1ortance was the steady gain in open bond transactions, these being faT larger than any day in the period named.
 Missouri Pacific's increasing ac.iZ = ity at higher prices was again nCte- worthy Another feature was he broad inquiry for various oW-priCed rail way isBues. as well as industrfalE, Free absorption of high grade induc- trials and utilities on 3. rising level was also an interesting development of the day.
 Activity strengthened appr@ciablY ir- the late trading, and Missouri Pacific shares. as well as the convertible 5's and 4's, weakened in connection with rumors that the Gould interests would fight against loss of the 'oroperty's control.
 The balance of the list. eased eff fractionally, but made vigorous re- covery just before the close on heavy buying of Union Pacific, Pennsylvania,
  all of which then registered best prices Of the day.
 Monetary conditions were virtumry unchanged So far as open rates Wore concerned, but many loans were made under prevailing quotations eight months money being offered at 1-z per cent. The extraordinary, ease of the local money market may be Judged from the fact that New York insti- tutions have retired all but $40o.06t of the $144000,000 emergency currency taken out by them last August
 Copper metal made another advance but this favorable fact was not re- 17ected to any material extent in the metal shares. Announcement oH tlie reopsning of additional steel mills tec- tifled to the steady improvement iii that industry.
 London'S business in Americans was the largest since the reopening of the market, bank clearingS at that cente showing marked increase. The Bank of England added g, 500, 900 to its gold and increased total reserves by al- most s5,o00 0G0.
 Bonds in general advanced propo- tlonately with stocks, Missouri Pacific issues being the only exceptions. Total sales, par value. $404O.0o0.
