PAY DAY.

Oh, It's easy enough when your credit is good
To go anywhere in town,
And say to the clerk, eyes, I'll take that;
Just have them send it down;
I'll take this house, I'll take that hat,
Or just send me steak today"
Oh, It's easy enough to have things charged
But Gee! when you have to pay.
Oh It's easy enough when you're young and strong
To any oats you choose,
IT'S easier far to go with the bunch,
Than to be just to refuse;
If you burn your candle at both ends,
IT'S nobody's business you say;
IT'S easy enough to make debts of sin,
But Gee! when you have to pay.

 Would Cost $45O,OOO.

Hartford, Jan. 3.-State Highway Commissioners Bennett sent to the legislature today a report on his in yeStigatfon of the railroad bridge over the Thames river at New Lon- don undertaken for the purpose of determining a satisfactory method of changing the structure into a high way bridge. He explained two gen. @eral plans for transformation of the structure and for reconstruction of the bridge itself with suitable floor system to carry highway travel
 Of the two plans he recommends one which would provide for replac- Ing the present drawspan with new span of the bascule type. that is | bridge which opens vertically, plac- ing the easterly half of the present drawspan with a fixed steel bridge and the westerly half with the bas- cule type. The estimated cost is about $300,000 with $150,000 addi- tional for approaches. The commis- sioner asks that authority for the work be given at once and that the state assum. the entire cost and fin- ance it by means of bond issue.

warned the members that there was 8 concerted movement on foot in many towns to bring pressure on the nnance committee to recommend the repeal of the state tax He urged the members to fight this effort because, he said, when the war is over the state will need all the income it can get and it will need that tax MT. Healy promised to preside with impartialty, to make committee appointments with view of appointing the best fitted men for places where their experience will be of the greatest benefit to the state and that ther would be no gag rule in the house.
 The house then took up and dis posed of various resolutions necessary to get business under way.
 In the senate the matter of minoritv representation on committees came up again when the house sent back a res olution adopting Joint rules with an amendment limiting the appropriation committee to five members because this state finance boards sits with it. Senator Klett moved to accept the amendment. Senator O'Sullivan wished to offer another amendment to provide for one democrat on each inn portant committee. He was able to do this and the democratic senators, Hemingway, Kopleman and Doughan n, pointed out that it would be only an act of fairness to senators of their party who represented fully 100, 900 voters. Senator Klett's motion indef- initely postponing this amendment was adopted 24 to g. The joint rules as amended by the house were then also passed.
 Branches spent more than an hour adopting various resolutions and ap- pointing special committees.

United States Steel Slowly Creep
 ing Back to Former Figures

Wall Street-Prices bounded for ward again at today's active opening. prominent issues, especially those comprising the so-calied war group, gaining 1 to 3 points against yester- days final quotations. United States Steel was the chief feature on an initial sale of 10000 shares at 1 point advance, soon exceeding it's lead to points. Shipping shares, Petroleum, Central Leather, Alcohol and other speculative favorites were strong. Metals also made moderate gains. Motors were heavy, notably Studebaker and General Motors. Rails were dull and irregular.
 Aside from further irregularity in marines and low-priced rails the list continued it's advance of the first hour. Steel scored an extreme gain of almost points rising to 112k. The change in the Mexican situation was reflected in six point rise for Mexican Petroleum and for Amer ican Smelling. Bonds were irregular.
 Trading slackened in the afternoon, but early gains were maintained for the most part, with greater strength in specialties, notably Central Leath- CT. Motors and Marines also inn proved appreciably.
 Closing-Steel dominated the latter dealings on it's further rise to 115. Marines, oils, and minor iudustrinls also added to early gains, but the old stock of General Motors fell fifty points to 700. The closing was strong. Sales exceeded one million shares.

Feeney watched all exits to the room where Feshler was hidden.
 Hide and Seek Among Machines.

With re-inforcements, the police entered the room, using the ma . chineryf as barricades The room was looked over and. at first. seemed to be deserted. Then Feshler's head and right hand clutcl1ing the revol- yer appeared from behind massive machine. Seeing his pursuers, he lodged into, a safer retreat, keeping this up as the policemen closed in on him. .
 At last. he came to a piece of ma chinery around which there was a comparative open space. He con- cealed himself and awaited the blue coats. Upon their approach nearer he brandished the revolver, stood up and waited their approach. Pointing to the revolver. he warned them that nearer approach would mean five bullets for them and one for him. self. He warned them that he would never be taken alive. His words were in tones indicating that he was in deadly earnest.
 When the relief force started a 22 caliber rifle was brought along from police headquarters. Seeing that it would be impossible to capture Fesh- Ter without probable wounding or fatal injuries to several of the po- licemen, it was decided to resort to desperate measures. Policeman Wag- ner, ( crack rifle shot. was assigned to the feat of craftsmanship. From a distance of bout 30 feet he sent the bullet through Feshler's hand just below the wrist. Under cover of the temporary confusion caused by the shot and Feshler's being convulsed with pain, Wagner's companions closed in. They were just in time. As Feshler was thrown violently to the floor, his left hand clutched the revolver and he made desperate eff forts to shoot his captors He was held by main force while the nippers were snapped on his wrists.
 He was taken to police headquar- ters, struggling violently all of the way After his arrest he became silent and refused to say anything about himself What is supposed to be his name and address was found on an envelope and personal belong ings taken from his pocket. pr. Joseph Walsh, police department sur geon, was called and probed for the bullet but was unable to remove it with the facilities at hand. It was found that it had lodged in the bones and muscles of the back of Feshler s hand. He was taken to New Britain General hospital under arrest to re- ceive further treatment.
 This afternoon the authorities are attempting to identify Feshler but have received only meagre informa- ton.
 Policeman Wagner received the co,nmendation of Chairman F. G. Babcock of the safety board and others for the shot that undoubtedly prevented a loss of life.
