TRUTHFULNESS IS
 ITS OWN REWARD
Participant in Saloon Row Gets ON Without Penalty; French NegIects
 His Three Children.

That it pays to be truthful was proven to the satisfaction of John Sutko in police court this morning. In company with Alix Spino he was charged with assault. His version of the trouble, which took place in ;l Hartford avenue saloon, was that Spino was drunk and a quarrel ensued. Spino called him 8 vile name and he objected and slapped Spino in the face. Spino began to throw pool balls and was about to hurl q cuspidor when Patrolman O'Mara appeared on the scene. Spino previously said that he did not have any trouble with Sutko, but that someone punched him in the nose. He denied that any pool balls were thrown. Patrolman O'Mara said that he saw pool balls rolling on the floor and furniture was smashed up. He separated the accused, who were clinched. Sutko was discharged and Spino fined $10.
 James French was charged with non-support. John PastelH grand father of the French children, testi- fled that French has neglected his three children for three years and he supported them. Pastelli's daughter, Mrs. French, deserted the home some time ago. French said he sent money to his wife for the care of the chil- dren. He admitted, however, that he has not contributed to the children s support in ten weeks. Judge Mesl1ill asked him if he was willing to let the probation officer draw S7.5O weekly from his pay, and he replied:
 T think l can board the children in a home cheaper than that" and he indicated reluctance.
 Judge Meskill ordered him com- mitted to jail for 60 days in defa ult of furnishing a bond of $400 to con- tribute S7.50 weekly for the children s support.
 Richard Hagopian was fined $3 for operating motor vehicle without having his license with him. He for got it, he said.

UP TO FACTORIES
 TO MAKE DECISION
Civilians Oppose Building Bur-
 lington Tunnel at This Time

The public apparently feels but little interest in the development of the city water supply by the construction of a Burlington tunnel at a cost of about $325,0OO for at the public meeting last night only a small number was present Chairman o. F. Curtis de- plored the fact that SO few take an interest in the matter, but explained that the manufacturers were holding a private meeting of their own to de- termine what action they would favor. Those present, however, opposed building the tunnel unless absolutely necessary for manufacturing purposes.
 Among those present at the meeting were: Alderman o. F. Curtis, City Engineer w. H. Hall, P. J. Egan, T. Fl. Kehoe, w. B. Rossberg. w. l.. Damon, George Wells, A. F. Eichstaedt. Charles May, w. c. Wall, E. w. Schultz A. M. Paonessa, Thomas Wilbor, A. Gorbach. w. H. Caldwell. George Nj. Landers, P. S. McMahon, A. J. Sloper and Harold T. Sloper.
 Much Water Wasted.
 w. B. Rossberg explained the pro- posed Burlington tunnel and when 1t was explained by F. J. Egan that the city now has a years supply of water on hand, F. s. McMahon recommended that the city economize at this time and not spend too much money. w. H. Caldwell said he saw a million gallons of water overf1oWing and going to waste at the Whigville reservoir within the past 30 days If this could be con- served 1t would be very valuable. MT. Sloper said he Eventually favors' ad- ditional water storage capacity for. the city, but he does not think there Is any danger of the city losing it's rights. He favored, however, getting an opinion from the manufacturers, who are most vitally interested, and accepting their recommendations MT. Sloper said the figure of s3oo,o0o Is not fair one, as he has been told $700,000 or million.
 Mr. Schultz favored stopping vast age and possibly enlarging the stor- age capacity, perhaps by raising the dam at Shuttle Meadow. Unless the manufa cturers want the tunnel built, he said, he favored holding Up any expenditure until after the war, when conditions may be more normal.
 MT. Hall explained that the wastage at Whigville is about 400, ,00O gallons every "A hours. MT. Rossberg said it is not possible to raise the dam at Shuttle Meadow very much more.

! The chairman of the tariff committee of the
Drug Manufacturers association made the
work of the tariff commission and the COM
mittee's cooperation with the federal body the
principal features of his report at the annual
meeting of the association. Responding to a
request from the commission, the committee
sent to the board suggestions for the improve
ment of the tariff law and adjustment Of the
statute to present conditions. 1t reported that
it believed it would be well for the association
to give more serious study to the tariff ques-
ton and that, if it were possible to do so, it
might be advisable for the association to go
over the tariff upon drugs medicines and
chemicals and present it's conclusions to the tar
Iiff commission with it's views as to what changes
might be suggested ''tending to relieve the
schedules of some antiquities and inconsist-
ences, which would be a benefit to the trade
in these commodities as we'll as to the general
well being Of commerce in these commodities IN
our own country and in international trade. -
This disposition to work with rather than OPP
pose the tariff commission is a hopeful sign No
doubt it would be to the advantage Of other IN
dustres to do what the drug manufacturers
are doing in this respect.
The tariff commission has come to stay Its
usefulness will depend in large measure upon
the cooperation Of American business. Any
call from the board for suggestions from prac-
teal men respecting proposed tariff changes
should be welcomed. Congress, not the com
mission, will make the new tariff law, but the
more complete the information it receives from
the commission the better the law will be.

of the argument. l find in the Rec.

that If what the gentleman refers to

upon my part. / certainly did not
intend to strike out anything the

to that illustration
