Commissioner of Markets
Denies Law Violations
and Charges Ex-senator
With a Hidden Motive
Writes Letter to Hylan
Welcomes Full Inquiry, He
Says; Asserts Protitcers
Make Attacks ON Him

ar. Jonathan Z. Day, Commissioner of
Markets, accused by ex-senator Will
IAN NJ. Bennett, of violating the law
vhle in Office, who asked for his re-
moyal, replied to the Bennett charges
yesterday.
The answer was in the form OF a
letter to Mayor Hylan, with whom Mr..
Bennett filed his charges. DR.. Day made
q general denial, and countered on the
ex-senator by calling him "the lawyer
poultry dealer and perpetual candidate
{or public office"
In his answer DR.. Day set forth that
ex-senator Bennett was frequently
found "on the floor Of the Live Poultry
Auction Company rooms," and that he
believed, OH information, that Mr. Ben
nett is a director and officer of the
Goodsell Fruit Company.
Denies All Charges
Commissioner Day categorically de-
MED each OF the charges made by cx-
Senator Bennett, going into detail.
Further. he said:
at should be borne in mind that
William NJ. Bennett is interested in
low salaries and fewer deputies, so
that the work of the Department of
Public Markets would least interfere
with the food protiteers that he not
only represents as lawyer but is as
sociated with in business. For four
teen years Mr.. Bennett has been and
is now director of the Fruit Auction
Company, and | understand that Mr..
Bennett was president of the Live
Poultry Company, the business of
which was to boost beyond reason the
prices of poultry to distributors and
consumers in the city"
The Commissioner also attcsts that
he believes Herbert A. Emerson was
vice-presdent of the same company and
that the latter and Bennett "bargainetl
with four young poultry dealers to
give them 100000 of stock in the Live
Poultry Auction Company in return for
these dealers getting buyers and boost
ers of prices"
Dr.. Day further says he is informed
that Mr.. Bennett went into the butter
and egg business with Fred Rosebrock
and Herbert A. Emerson after the lat
ter's alleged removal as receiver for
the All-Package Stores Company.
Caused EmersOn's Removal
Or. Day further asserts that his de-
partment furnished information to the
Atuctdl oOu Qua u WHICH leu 10 tne re-
moval of Herbert A. Emerson as re-
ceiver of the All-Package Stores be-
cause of his selling Large quantities
Of cold storage eggs as fresh eggs"
He declares that after this Mr. Bennett
agai, associated himself in business
with Mr.. Emerson after the latter's re-
movai.
In conclusion Commissioner Day says
both as commissioner and specialoagen
he has met with bitter opposition from
Stood profiteers and food trust repre-
sentatiyes in the person of such men as
William NJ. Bennett He says he well
comes the fullest investigation before
any competent tribunal, "to the end
that unfounded charges made by selfish
interests may be conclusively dis
posed Of"
DR.. Day has also sent copy of his
answer to Commissioner of Accounts
Hirschfield, who has been directed bv
the Mayor to investigate the charges.

ARCHBISHOP
 IS INSTALLED
Elaborate Ceremonies Mark Elevation of Prelate Hayes
 In New York.

New York, March 19-ArchbIshop Hayes was formally installed in his new office at the Cathedral in Q cere- mony beginning at o'clock this af- ternoon. It was under the direction of Archbishop Bonzano, Apostolic Delegate to the United States, the direct representative of the Pope at the ceremony.
 The ceremony was simple. The Archbishop and his retinue was met at the door of the Cathedral by Mgr. LaVelle, its rector, and escorted to the Archepiscopal throne before the high altar. Then all the priests of the dio- cese passed before the throne, each kneeling before the Archbishop and kissing his ring as a pledge of their obedience.
 Addresses of congratuIation and welcome were made by Archbishop Bonzano for the Pope, Mgr. Mooney for the clergy, Mgr. Waring for the Catholic military chapIatns and Jus tice Bowling for the laity. Archbish- op Hayes then made his response.
 Though today's ceremony will <in- vest the Archbishop with the full au- thOrity of his office his actual install Iation will not be complete until the imposition of the paIIium, which has not yet arrived from Rome.

TO INVESTIGATE
 I. w. w. AGITATORS

As a result of action taken by United States District Attorney John F. Crosby, special agents of the alien bureau of the United States Depart ment of Labor will begin their inves- tigaiOn of alien BolshevikI and l. w. w. agitators in Hartford and the state today, 1t was learned yesterday. A special investigator has already called on MT. Crosby in this city and he has been assigned to the cases Of the six alien BoIsheviki speakers ar rested in Waterbury a week ago. Three of these BolshevIkI are now serving six months Jail sentences although federal warrants against them are pending.
 Indications are that the status of the I. W. W. and BoIshevilli agitators will be thoroughly investigated. Evi- dence obtained from the little red boOk' so dear to the heart of the reds plainly shows that the Bolshe- vik aliens. whose allegiance Is tied up with the Federation of Russian Unions of which a branch in this city is known as the Russian Peasant Workers Union, look favorabIy upon the L ". W, too. The little red book breathes of anarchy, social un-

WANT RUSSIAN BLOCKADE LIFTED

London, March 19- Correspond
 ence of the Associated Press) Lift the economic blockade from Russia
 Is the appeal which Alexander Berk-
 enheim of Moscow, vice president and
 general manager of the A1l-Russian
 Central Union of Consumers Socie-
 ties, is making in England and which
 he intends to make soon in the United
 States. That is the only way, in MT.
 Berkenheim's opinion, to cure Rus
 sIa's troubles.
 MT. Berkenheim left Moscow, the
 headquarters of his organization, in
 the famine conditions prevailing in
 the cities of Northern Russia. The
 situation in Petrograd is particularly bad, he says.
 MT. Berkenheim Intends to visit New York, Washington, Chicago and
 San Francisco. The principal object of his trip to America is to develop ] trade relations between the United States and Russia, and to establish offices on the eastern and western sea boards. From the eastern coast he plans to ship large consignments of American products to the Black Sea districts of Russia, and from the Pa cific Coast to Siberia. Heretofore the | organization has had only Q few | agents in the United States. The AlI-Russian Central Union of Consumers Societies is, MT. Berken- helm says. the directing head of var iOus cooperative associations. It em- braces 450 unions made up of 35. 900 societies with an individual member ship of 12,00O,00O heads of families. Counting five persons to the family, it Is reckoned that the Central organizs-
 tion is supplying the necessaries of
 life to some 6o,00O,000 people in all parts of the Empire
 "On our organization" MT. Berken- helm told a representative of The Associated Press, devolves the task of keeping Russia alive. We believe that eventually our work will be the
 means of restoring and regenerating Russia.
 Tn America I intend to make a
 study of the means of opening up to Russia the resources of your great country through trade. Our chiex aim now, is to remove trade restric- tions. The Black Sea blockade is still effective. No formal blockade exists with regard to Siberia but the system of permits in force greatly hampers commerce"
 Except in Northern Russia, the principal need of the country now is not foodstufs but manufactured ar ticles, and raw materials, MT. Berk- enheim said.
 Tn the South of Russia" he con- i tinued, there. is plenty of food, and that is true of most of the agricul- tural districts. Vast stores of food stufs are being held by the peasants simply because they can not exchange them for needed articles of like value. Those food supplies will be released for distribution as soon as we can bring into Russia cloth, manufact ctured q iron and steel articles, materials for i soap making and agricultural ma ] chinery"
 MT. BerkenheIm refused to com l ment on political conditions in Russia 1 or to discuss the Bolshevik govern
 meut.
 l T can only say" he said, that as 1 long $ civil war continues in Russia, l conditions cannot improve"

A GOOD SWEEPER IS KNOWN BY THE DUST THAT
 SHE RAISES

Sweepers, poor or good, no matter how hard they try can not help from stirring up some dust and dust rises only to set tie again. This means more dusting and more work after the sweeping.
 What a remedy for this sweeping and dusting is the VACUUM CLEANER. It takes dirt and more dirt from any where and takes it away where you will never see it again.
 Why not investigate a Va cuum Cleaner in preparation for the strenuous Spring Clean ing?
