FAVOR TROLLEY EXTENSION
Mayor 0uisley, Kilbournc, flanders and Others to Appear Before Lae- iaaaturs to Petitson For Charter.

4 x The legislative railroads :; corhnit- tee yill meet at 3 o'clock Wednesday aftern9on at the. Capitol in Hartford to hear the petition of the Stanley Railroad company of this city for a Charter. The petitioners, after hav- ing been definitely turned down by the Connecticut company, now ask permission to construct line of their own which will extend from the end of the North end trolley line at Fran cis street to the terminus of the Elm wood trolley line in Elmwood, dis tance said to be about three miles.
 Edward O. Kilbourne, owner of much property in that section of New Britain, is one of the prime. movers in the plan. He believes that to put a trolley line through this district will develop valuable property and cause a healthy expansion of the city. Others who are vitally interested in the project are Mayor George A. Qufgley and G. NJ. Landers.
 MT. Klbourne states that If the legislature grants them charter work will be started as soon As possi- ble. He has no fear. he states. that the project will not prove financial success. Tentative plans have already been made. whereby the proposed company could secure its electricity from semi private sources at q cost considerably less than that which they would have to pay for the same electrical service used by the Con- necticut company.

POLITICIANS HAVE
 CHANGED GREATLY
Biblical Leader Refused Bribe,
 Says Clergyman

As part of the general religious
 educational campaign which the
 Protestant churches are conducting between March and IS, Dr. David
 G. Downey of New York spoke at the
 Methodist church service last eve-
 ming. In the course of his talk Dr..
 Downey advertantly made q mild at- tack upon some classes of politicians found in Connecticut. as in other states.
 Dr. Downeys was formerly the gem eral secretary of the Methodist Sum- day schools and in his talk dwelt en- tirely on the relation of the Sunday
 school to religion as in reference to the young people. Dr. Downey de- ciared that this ts the age of activity when the world demands that things be accomplished and, he said. 1t is ''olr young folk who are doing this ]" In, this connection the speaker said the only correct way to instill last ing and effectual religion into the young people is through the Sunday school. Their religious teaching should not make them narrow either, he said. If their religion IS not strong enough so that they can go out into the world and retain 1t, it Is not worth i anything. Dr.. Downey advocated the teaching of religion to the young folk through the Sunday school, not with the idea that it meant they l must do certain things and must not do certain others. but with the ulti- mate aim of making them better men l and women so that when they do 50 Isinto the world and, mingle with men l they. will be stronger and will
 strengthen those with whom they come in contact. In the course ofshis talk pr. Down ey frequently referred to Biblical events by way of illustration. Among 1stleersshe told of Samuel. .ofs the old Testament. Samuel, he said. was the

He stated that owing to his age his name was not taken at school, but he volunteered the information with snapping eyes that he could serve Uncle sam just as well as asy other lad in school who had his name placed on the census list He was assured that he had the proper spirit which made up the typical type of young America, and that in time his name would undoubtedly go down on one of the blanks. He want away not at all satisfied.
