Funds Needed to Correct Drawback

It is suffering from these draw backs today, and it will continue to suffer until the necessary funds with which to correct these drawbacks can be obtained. The management, thor Oughly alive to tue situation, and fla miliar with the necessities of the com Dauy, ordered last fall S3 new loco motives of the biggest and most mod cTn type. Some of these locomotives were to have been delivered early in the veal but the American LocOmO- tive company, from whom the S3 loco motives were ordered, like most other manufacturing concerns, has been cho1ed with other domestic orders and overjamme1 with foreign business. Therefore there has been delay on the part of the American Locomotive com Dany in delivering most of these new locomotives to the New Haven, but word was received several days ago that deliveries would begin within q few weeks on the scale of three loco motives a week. With this new motive power in full operation on the main line, the locomotives now on the main line are to be transferred to branch lines and in this way greater service can be given to the business interests of southern New England All told, it is estimated that within the last two years it was necessary to condemn ap- prCximateIy 2G6 engines, 66 on the New Haven and 200 on the Central New Eugland.

The Blindness of Love-" the five part Metro production is the feature at the Breed theatre for today md Saturday, featuring the distinguished drama tic actor Julius Steger, support ed by Grace Valentine and George Ie- Guere in mixture of romance and sacrifice presented in a finished style. The story is very interesting and full of charm and feeling. Mr. Steger ap- pears in the role of a thrifty Ger man, and an expert piano maker, who through his industry has built up a small factory and acquired consider able money. His whole life and further ambitions are centered on his son, whom has entered a big uni .versity.
 His son is carried away by college life and falls under the influence of a suave society leech, who inveigles him into drinking, gambling and life of prOhgaCy. The son is induced to draw on his father for large amounts on the excuse that he needs the money for expenses at college.
 The blindness of the fathers love for his son is emphasized when he in sists on attending footbal lgame where his son is the hero of the hour The son denies the father in the presence of friends and later is eX- peled from college.
 He finances a small bank and in dulges in many wild cat spcculations and the bank is ruined. In a run on the bank he narrowly escapes bodily injury and when he is threatened with imprisonment as a sWindler he decides to leave. and leaves a note saying that he will return when he has made man of himself and can make good his obligations.
 In a distant city he starts life over and steadily rises 10 a position of trust and importance, and in the fin ish of the picture shows a happy re- union of the family.
 Completing the bill for today and Saturday the Breed will also present Mir. and Mrs. Sidney Drew in a very funny comedy entitled "One on Henry"

Do IT NOW.

He cannot read his tombstone when he's dead" If with pleasure you are viewing any
 work a man is doing, If you like him or you love him. tell
 him now; Don't withhold your approbatton till
 the parson makes oration As he. lies with snowy lilies OCT his
 brow; For no matter how you shout 1t, he
 won't really care about it; He won't know how many teardrops
 you have shed; If you think some praise is due him,
 nOws the time to slip it to him For he cannot read his tombstone when
 he's dead! More than fame and more than money
 is the comment kind and sunny And the hearty, warm approval of
 friend, For it gives to life a savor, and it
 makes you stronger braver And it gives you heart and spirit to
 the end; If he earns your praise -bestow it; if
 you like him, let him know it, Let the words of true encouragement
 be said; Do not wait till life is over and he'a
 underneath tn the clover, For he cannot read his tombstone when
 he's dead! From "Dripped From the Stream"

Only once, in the sixth inning, was he batted hard Democrats then scored seven runs. After that Johnson, of South Dakota, and Miller of Delaware relieved Aludd for a short time, but he came back strong later.
 The democrats used fourteen play CTS. Nichols of South Carolina, Ruse of Kentucky and Harrison of Missis- sippi starred for them, each getting three hits. Harrison also scored three runs, made several sensational stops at short, and held the republicans runless, while pitching the last two innings. Speaker Clark and Republi can Leader Mann were honorary um- Dires but they never left the grand stand. The lineup follows:

THE CALL TO ARMS IN OUR STREET There's a woman sobs her heart out, With her head against the door, For the man that's called to leave her, God have pity on the poori
 But it's beat drums, beat,
 While the lads march down the And it's Blow. trumpets, blow, Keep your tears until they go. There's a crowd of little children That march along and shout, For it's fine to play at soldiers Now their fathers are called out So it's beat, drums. beat;
 But who'll find them food to eat2 And it's blow. trumpets, blow, Ah the children little know. There's a mother who stands watcltsg For the last look of her son, And he her only one.
 But it's beat, drums, beat,
 Though God knows when we shan
 meet;
 And it's blow, trumpets, blow,
 We. must smile and cheer them so. There's a young girl who gtand2
 laughing, For she thinks a war is grand, And it's fine to see the lads pass, And it's fine to hear the band.
 So it's beat, drums. beat,
 To the fall of many feet;
 And it's blow. trumpets, blow,
 God go with you where you go
 To the war. W. NJ, Let's. in the Saturday Wsst-

A new search light has been put in place on top of the picture booth and this light will be thrown about the city every night the roof is open so in case the weather is a little dubious one can tell by watching for the search light whether there will be any show or dancing on that particular night. In oase of a shower after the roof opens in the evening, and the show has to be stopped rain checks will be given to all those coming in before nine o'clock which will entitle them to an other admission on any other night they may desire to come.

President Elliott recently said in New Haven: "A low estimate of what the New Haven road should spend to be able to turn out a first class article of transportation in New England ter ritory is probably $30O0O, ,OO0 more likely $50,00O,000. I believe we are to increase our business. In the period from 1903 to 1914 the transportation output of the New Haven road in creased between 40 and A per cent, and it is going to increase in the next 10 or 12 years an additional 30 per cent. to 40 per cent. All transportation agencies must be able to increase their, facilities; but 1t is going to take money and it cannot be done simply by one railway improving its facilities. be- causea chain is no stronger than it's weakest link. If we should improve our lines and the New York Central and the Pennsylvania were blocked it would not help very much, or if they improved their lines and we did not improve ours, 1t would not help very much"
