THREE RIoTOUS NEGROES
 FOUGHT ON TRAIN.
Created Disturbance on Smoking Car
 En Route to New York.

Judge William B. Colt at the police court aQ New London Thursday morn ing criticized the manner In which strike breakers were handled by the New Haven road. Two negro strike breakers who were arrested in New London for creating a disturbance on the smoking car on train en route from Providence to New York WeGnes- day night about 5.So. The men were not presented in court Thursday morning, as the court deemed that 1t was up to the New Haven road off, cials to take proper care of the men.
 It developed in court that 13 negroes who had been acting as strikebreakerS at Providence were being sent back to New York, and because there were rot 15 in number a special car was not atta ched. The men were loaded in the smoker of the train that leaves New London at 5.41 bound for New York. Between Providence and New London three of the negroes joined in a real combat as a result of an argument over a. game of cards. One of the trio pulled a knife in an effort to scare one of the others into giving him back dollar which he states was taken from him. The men were finally quieted but not without voices of protest by the passengers in the smoker. When the train arrived in New London two of the men were taken to the police sta ton.
 Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Clay ton B. Smith told the court that he saw no reason that the two negroes should be made charges of the city.
 Special Agent E. A. Blair was in the court room and he was asked if the company ever provided a special car for the strikebreakers. He told the court that If the men were moved in groups of 15 or over special cars were provided, but if the number fell below that they were put on regular passen- ger trains in charge of a watchman. Judge Colt criticized such a system and asked Probation Of1cer Richard W. Mansfield to arrange for the ne- groes' transportat ton to New York at the expense of the company.

NEW HAVEN ROAD
 FEELS COAL SHORTAGE
May Become Necessary to Take of
 Certain Trains.

The New Haven road is feeling the shortage of steam coal, and it may soon become necessary to take off cer- tain local trains in order to get the maximum service out of the available supply. Howard Elliott, before tender ing his resignation as president, made the suggestion that the service be re- duced in order to conserve the supply of fuel.
 Just how soon it will be necessary to curtain train service or just what trains would be first taken off officials of the road cannot admit. They admit, however, that such a plan is being given serious consideration. TherH is only a choice, they say. between re- ducing service now and meeting a com plete shortage later. unless more coal is made available.

C. V. MAKES PLANS
 TO MOVE TROOPS
Extensive Experiments Being Con. dueted by Committee on Transpor- tation.

Former Governor D. C. Smith of St. A1bans. Vt. chairman of the sub com rnittee on transportation Of the Yer mont committee Of public safety, who is president Of the Central Vermont railroad, has been conducting some ex-N tensive experiments in the matter of fuppgeng the actsss fo oons s event of large bodies being moved. for considerable distances. He has de- veloped, through the cooperation of the shops and employees of the Central verttng ordinary day coaches into sleeping cars. This Is done by ar ranging sleeping berths out of seats. and the construction of a folding can- of. the upper berth. The contrivance is very simple and inexpensive. The cost for transforming the ordinary day coach into 8 sleeping car is insignifi- His shops have been also experiment. ing with the matter of kitchen cars and have developed a very practical system of subsisting troops while en route by rail.
 ColoneI Ira L. Reeves, president of Norwich university and chairman of the public safety committee. is to visit Washington at an early date and will ter general of the army for his consid- eration.
 The Vermont troops which went to the border last summer were possibly tha only troops in the United States which made any efforts to afford sleeping accommodations in the ordi- nary day coach. The First Vermont infantry was en route live days from it's mobilization camp to Eagle Pass, Texas, and had it not been for rath- CT ingenious conversion of the day coaches into temporary sieeperS, the discomfort of the troops would have been great.
 In the event of the movement of large bodies of troops 1t would be impracticable to obtain even a small fraction of a per cent. of the necessary Pullman or tourist sleeping cars to convey them.

LEMONS BRING OUT THE HIDDEN BEAUTY Make thls lotion for very little cost and Just see
 for yourself.

What girl or woman hasn't heard of lemon juice to remove complexion blemishes; to bleach the skin and to bring out the roses, the freshness and the hidden beauty? But lemon juice alone is acid, therefore irritating, and should be mixed with orchard white this way Strain through fine cloth the juice of two fresh lemons into a bottle containing about three ounces of orchard white, then shake we'll and you have a whole quarter pint of skin and complexion lotion ct about the cost one usually pays for small jar or ordinary cold cream. Be sure to strain the lemon juice so no pulp gets into the bottle, then this lotion will remain pure and fresh for months. When applied daily to the face. neck, arms and hands it should help to bleach, clear, smooth en and beautify the skin.
 Any druggist will supply three ounces of orchard white at very little cost and the grocer has the lemons.

THE FUTURE WATER
 SUPPLY OF THE STATE
interesting Facts Brought to Light By Geological and Natural History Survey.

Work in connection with the water resources of the state of Connectfcut Geological and Natural History sur vey in cooperation with the United States Geological survey has brought to light interesting and vaIua b1e facts about the water supply of the state
 The present method of furnishing water to towns has not always proved adequate and 1t has long been known that other sources without doubt will need to be made available.
 It is now possible to put into prac- ticai use the results of studies of the surface and underground waters of 69 state containing 50 per cent. of it's population. Thus the availability, amount, and duality of the waters particularly underground waters-have full not only to communities having a common supply but to individual land holders. The position of ground wa ter with reference te the land surface has been determined. areas of open field, areas of forest, rock. and types of glacial soil have been outlined: wa ter from springs, wells. and brooks has been analysed, and studies Of the most economical and sanitary supplies for farms and villages have been made are being published. Two in co-oper- atfon with the United States Survey have been already issued with the ti- ties: Ground Water in the Hartford. Stanford, Salisbury. Wilhmantic, and Saybrook Areas. Connecticut" by H. E. Gregory and A. J. Ellis. Water Supply Paper 374: Ground Water in the Waterbury Area. Connecticut,'' by A paper entitled. Underground Water Resources Of Connecticut" by H. E. Gregory, Water-Supply Paper 23S, deals with the state as whole. A copy of each of these reports may be obtained by applying to the director. United States Geological Survey, at Washington, D. c.
 Unusual features Of interest are found in the geology. botany. and ZOO Iogy of Connecticut. 24 bulletins on different phases of these subjects hay ing appeared under the direction of the Connecticut Geological and Natur- al History Survey since the beginning of the organization in 1903 Tn July 1916 Professor W. N. Rice of Wesle- van university terminated his office as superintendent of the survey which he had held for 13 years-years of sue cess for the survey on account of the valuable results obtained. The su- perintendency is now held by Pro- lessor 1T. p. Gregory of Yale univer- sity.
 A geologic map and manual. a report a description of Tfiassic life in the Connecticut Valley are some of the geologic phases of the state dealt with. In connection with botany, a list of towering plants ani ferns has been published, besides reports on the moss es, liverworts, fungi, and fresh wa ter algae and bacteria Zoology is represented by the bulletins on the birds, fresh water protoza echinoderns and a guide to the insects of the state.
 All these reports have been written by authorities in the different lines Other reports are in process of pub Jication or preparation. Those al- ready published may be obtained by application to the State Librarian, at Hartford Conn.
