 palities

 This fact became known officially yesterday when it was announced that a meeting of the executive board for the purpose of permitting ,Gener- al Manager W. H. Ham tosextend his Jurisdiction beyond this city. The permission was granted and the Housing company will soon under take the building of homes for work CTS in the cities which have already applied.
 Because of the ~r.jealously that ex- ists against the introduction the in- troduction of outside influences in those cities refusal of the names were made by officials closely identified with the Housing compapys work this morning. From an indirect source it is intimated today that the two cities are Norwalk and Torrington both of which are having rapid growth.
 It was signified today that the en- largement of the scope of the Bridge port Housing Co. into other fields would not. circumscribe work, in this city and at Lordship where small village will be constructed on the near line to Bridgeport and at the entrance of the present home sites. we shall push all work undertak- en as fast as possible and will begin the erection of a larger number of units at Fairfield" General Manager Ham said late last week.

U. 5. MISSION
 WILL EXAMINE
 RUSSIAN ROADS
Note Resources of Lines Ex. pected to Receive U. $.
 Shipping

Petrograd: June 2O-The .,Ameri- can railroad commission which is now in Petrograd proposes to make wider examination of Russia's rail- road resources than was first con templated, and a trip through the south is, now considered. The com mission is confident that great inn provements are practicable, even with the excepting deficiency in rolling stock, The immediate problem is congestion, and the commission be- lieves that even under present con ditions traffic can be increased more than. threefold.
 The Americans are somewhat skep- tica1, it is believed, about the possi- bility of managing the lines on the principles put forward by. N. V. Me- krasoff, minister of communications, who is accompanying the commis- sion. In a statement given to the Associated Press by M. Mitinsky di- rector of the department of materials warm appreciation was expressed for the work already done by the Amer jeans. M M. Mitinsky, who met the commission on it's arrival in Vladi- vostok, said: Jt
 "Mr. Stevens and his colleagues found the track not so bad as ex-
 
 ton throughout without any particu- larly bad spots. In regard to the rolling stock. they also >rouno the condition of the cars relatively fa- vorable. The work of the Americans in Vladivostok was admirable, and they are now engaged in planning and putting together shops. On the spot they decided that the facilities at V1adivostok were inadequate to take care of the expected delivery of expected American orders and the construction of two big piers for ships drawing 45 feet was decided on and the sketches were made The consent of Petrograd was immediate ly obtained and the work has already begun and will be finished within three months.
 "At Harbin, Tchita, Krasnoyarsk and Irkutsk, and at Vyatka in Euro pean Russia thorough examinations were. made, chiefly from the stand point of finding the most suitable Io- cations for repair shops We will act on the advice of the commissioners.
 ''Fhe commission was much inn pressed by our big bridges, particu- larly over the Sungari, the Yenesei and at Novooskovsk. We met en route the chiefs of the technical and traffic departments and found our working personnel inclined to cor. dlaly cooperate with the Americans, one proof of which was that the train made quicker time than under peace conditions. We made it rule to have no secret from the commits sion, and, although no program is fix ed, l believe the Americans will stay as long as we want them. In my opinion, that means a very long time"

Senator Warren's Birthday

Among our eminent statesmen none is more eminent than Senator Francis Emory Warren of Wyoming, who to- day celebrates his seventy-third birth day. He is one of the wealthiest members of the United States Senate and, like former governor Osborne Of Wyoming, the source of his for tune are sheep. Senator Warren was born in Hinsdale, Mass During the Civil War he fought first as a private and later as an officer of the Forty Ninth Massachusetts, Volunteers and received a Congressional medal .of honor for gallantry on the battlefield at the siege of Port Hudson. Sena- tor Warren a few wears ago was the object of considerable : discussion when he applied for a pension of $16 month. He is many times mill lionaire and requested this pension only to establish his military record
 He went to Wyoming in 1868 and soon became, prominent in Republican poli- tics as Mayor of Cheyenne. Later he became territorial governor and when Wyoming entered the Union was again elected it's chief executive. La ter he was chosen to represent. Wyon1- ing in the United States Senate. Sen ator Warren has been one of the larg- est wool producerSin the world. He has been subjected to repeated att tacks in the press but his, state has always stood by him and since 1890 has always sent him to the Senate. Early in his public career Warren espoused the cause of woman suf-
 frage and has ever since been con- sistent advocate of women's, rights.
