,Landers concurred, as did several others, and discussion was purely in- formal and no action was taken.
 Another important protective meas ure discussed was the grade crossing question. The committee members all felt that the establishment of a sys- tenn of high towers for the gatemen at the grade crossings and the equip ment of each tower with a warning bell would be a good measure.
 It was also suggested that if pos sible restriction of the freight yard limits might tend to divert much of the switching from the principal street crossings. The matter of regu- lating the speed of all trains within the city limits was another matter taken into consideration.

get arrested. Mrs. Swanson said she would be contented if he would stay away for good, that she makes. a liv- ing by taking boarders and can get along better without John. The lat ter is able bodied and presents an ap- pearance indicating ability to put in sufficient work to earn good wages.
 "I cursed all right and, if the off, cers says I otherwise acted improp- erly, it must be so." was the explana- tion of Rosaire Bergeron of 114 Cleveland avenue when ~arraigned charged with breach of the peace and smoking on a trolley car. Officials of the Connecticut Company testified that he acted improperly on a late Hartford car last night, used much profanity and persisted in smoking a cigarette. Policeman William F, Murphy made the arrest. A fine of
 $10 and costs was imposed on the first count.
 Markerless Autos.
 William Bergman of 546 State
 street, New Haven, employe of an automobile sales company in that city, was fined $2 without costs for viola tion of the motor vehicle statutes in not having 1917 markers on the car that he was driving. He said that his employer directed him to take the automobile and come to New Britain
 after him. He supposed that every thing was all right. An officer of the Todd Rubber Company, employer of the accused, testified that Bergman was not as much at fault as his em- ployers. They supposed the car was equipped with the proper markers as they had been in New York attending the auto show. Traffic Policeman Dennis Nealon stopped Bergman yes- terday.
 Anthony Buckley of Kensington was fined $2 without costs for operating a motor vehicle without 1917 mark CTS. He was stopped by Traffic Po- liceman Theodore Johnson. His ex- planation was that he had not real ized it was so near the time limit and then was unable to get quick enough service by the secretary of states office.
 Arthur Laflame of Market street was sentenced to 60 days in jail for intoXication and breach of the peace. Probation calling for the paying of $13.24 balance on a former fine, was also revoked. Lafiame said that he
 remembered nothing as to what hap pened last night. He was arrested early today after Joseph Aruto of 499 South Main street was aroused from sleep by someone trying to en- ter his house and was told, when he objected to the procedure, that the door must be opened or the house would be blown up. Sergeant George Kelley sent Policeman Gustav He'll berg and John O'Leary to the scene on the jump. Laf1ame had left but
 was met on Mill street by Policeman O'Leary on suspicion as he was hat less and his face was covered with blood. He took him back to the
 South Main street address where Aruto identified Lafame as the trouble maker.
 Peter Socha and Mrs. Michalena Dustak, held for the Toledo, O., au- thorities as fugitives from justice, were again formally arraigned and a
 continuance ordered until Monday.
 Toledo officers with the extradition oa-
 pers are expected to arrive in New Britain the first of the week.

 titled them.
 Among the favorable factors in the market arc the abundance of money and credit at reasonable rates, a sound banking position, increasing reserves, continued large gold imports, and an active trade in the interior coupled with frequently bare shelves. The best reports obtainable from the interior are that trade activity at home will continue for another sea- son at least, and that even if profits are not as large during the current year as Tn the past, very satisfactory results will be attained. The amount or capital applications for new enter prlses is hardly appreciated. In 1916 about $430,000,00O in applications was made for new oil companies, this be- ing a total of $550, 100000 since the war began. Applications for new dye ana chemical concerns were nearly $17o,oO0,00O during the war New shipping companies called for $108, 0O0,000 and war intuition concerns $134 10000 900 within the same period. Such unusual development of home enterprises as these figures imply in- sures continued business activity for some time to come. Very soon Great Britain will issue a huge war loan, much the largest ever recorded. None of this will be offered in this country. It is rumored, however, that another collateral loan will shortly be placed here for the purpose of financing British purchases upon this side and stabilizings sterling exchange. Consid- ering recent changed conditions, it will be interesting to see what the re- ception of this prime investment will be.
