THE HOUSING CORPORATION.

incorporation papers for tho CiY Loan Corporation, which is starting business with a pital stock of S2OO,OOO and has an authorized capi- tai of a million dollars, were filed yesterday with the Secretary of Stale. New Britain is assured that the company, which was described several days ago in the Herald, is to be a;l accom- mplished fact, and the workers of the city will have cause for re- joicing in the promise of lowered rents through the building that will be furnished by this corporation in directly.
 As we stated before, the company is to loan money on second mort home and who first obtain their first mortgage at banks. There are to be no profits to the promoters, but the return will further the welfare of the city in general. Money will be loaned at low price and to cover a high valuation of houses and lots Thus the individual will be able to build with no preliminary capital and with a minimum of upkeeps expense.
 A purely philanthropic proposition from the start, the,ideals of the com pany should meet with the. hearty support of all. ' Needless to say, most of it will from those who wish to borrow money for building purposes. High as costs are, rents are higher;

 It is stated now that the Mayor has with him samples of supplies in meats and groceries which he will eXhiDit at the special meeting of the Common Council next Tuesday evening, with the idea that it may see fit to order some of the goods.

Tho Ice PrOftccrS.

(NeW Haven urnal-Courier.)
 The ability of the departments of justice in and out of the state, to dis cover the means of prosecuting peo- pie who are regarded as violators of the law appears to correspond to the size of the demand that they shall prosecute. We take it that the fed eral department of justice did not see It's way fortnight ago to prosecute the meat packers for the want of evidence, but today it proceeds with all the circumstance of confidence.
 So far as the knowledge of the gen. eral public goes there is more evi- dence of a deliberate attempt to eX- tort money from ice consumers in the state of Connecticut than there is evil d dence of a like disposition on the part of the meat trust. Every one "be- lieves' that the beef crowd is a crowd of greedy profiteers, but the in vestigation of the ice business by a competent investiga ting committee appointed by Mayor FitzGerald show ed that the ice crowd is a crowd of profiteers. The federal departm ent of justice is impressed by the find ings of the local committee, but finds no way of proceeding. The state seems to be asleep and the local pros ecuting agent finds himself embar- rassed by town lines of Jurisdiction. But the beef combination, which is "believed" to be guilty, is to haled before the grand jury. We are sorry the local ice Investigating committee went further than to "beiieve." Be- cause it "knew' something definite it's progress is blocked. We took oc- casion the other day to recall the fact that the department of justice compelled the New Haven railroad to unscramble it's New England organ ization, though it had no case against it that would have stood in a court of law. The railroad took the paul pers cath and ducked trial
 What nonsense this all is AS we have taken occasion to say before, the state has prosecuted many a case to the finish that presented at the outset less evidence than the ice in Hestiga ting committee has offered. There is law enough to proceed. All that is wanted Is action.

MORGANTHAU DENIES
 POGROM STATEMENT
Head of the American Investigation Mission Was Incorrectly Quoted by
 Polish Telegraph Agency.

Washington, Aug. 9.-Henfy Morgenthau, head of the American mission Investigating conditions la Poland, has cabled to the State de- partment from Warsaw a denial e4 a statement credited to him by the Polish Telegraph agency on July 2S that "in the short time he had been in Poland he had convinced himself that all the so-called pogroms O. Jews are incredibly exaggerated"
 MT. Morgenthau said on that date the American mission had not even begun investigation of pogroms. Tue mission, he added had devoted most of it's time in Warsaw to obtaining general impressions of existing div ferences regarding economic boycotts and general economic conditions.
 We believe" he said, that we have heard less than one-third of the testimony that we intend to listen to before submitting it all to the Polish government for their answer and shall not begin to form an opinion until the Polish government has had an opportunity to answer. Then NGeneral Jadwin, Homer Johnson and myself will calmly sit as long as is necessary and weigh the facts o)- tained before arriving at final con- Clusions."

STILL WE TALK SUGAR.

Mayor Quigley's return brings us little enlightenment on the sugar question, beyond his telegram received here a day or so ago, it is probable that he Knows nothing more about it. His search in New York developed the fact that two carloads were on their way to New Britain; that is all.
 It should be borne in mind that the sugar referred to in the telegram was not government stuff but was some which the individual enterprise of the local merchants had supplied. Mayor Quigley did nothing but act as tracer for the cars. We have no prospect of getting any of the gov ernment supply until the next allot- ment is made, which will not be be- fore next fall at any rate. Tardiness on the Mayors part is to blame for our shortage, say what one will. The sugar was obtainable, Bristol got it, but we acted too late. With the rail- road strike under way it becomes a

 The railroad strike, however, is the fault of no man excepting of the unions who inspired it and we cannot blame other than their leaders for anything which we may suffer in the next few weeks.
 Seldom has New Britain been in the situation that it now finds exist 1ns- Even during the war there was sufficiency of sugar, though not an oVer-supply. We face an actual sugar famine at present, there are no two ways about it. However, we VIII get along without it if we have

Cider and Prohibition.
Providence JournaD


 A supreme court decision may be required on cider, when the time comes for the enforcement of nation al prohibition. At present the law on intoXicants appears to have no bear ing on fermented apple juice; 1t pro- hibits the manufacture and sale of distilled liquors, Of beer, ale, wine and other intoxicating malt or vinous li- quor. Cider is not distilled: it is not malt or NinOuS, and apparently it es- caped the attention of the lawmakers. In this connection the acquittal of a farmer on a charge of selling cider of his own make, which contained seven per cent. of alcohol, is interesting; a Mass lchusetts jury refused to curtail the right of the owner of an orchard to grind and press apples and dispose of beverage which is highly intox- - icating. National prohibition, with cider not included, would be a par;a failure, for the most sedsoned toper can get drunk on hard cider.
 The future of hard cider under pro- hibition may have to be determin q by a supreme court ruling on the word intoxicating. Any drink that is intoxicating even if it is not specifi- cally named in the law, is likely to be added to the forbidden list according to the interpretation of the statute by the advocates of dry times.

Henry Ford's Ignorance.
(New York World)

Amusement jostles surprise in the press comment upon what is called Henry Ford's ignorance, revealed in his examination as q court witness. But the test might have been reversed with equally interesting results.
 Mr. Stevenson questioned MT. Ford upon historical events; upon charao- ters, like Benedict Arnold that every schoolboy knows about and for2ets on examination day; upon mobile ar mies' and other war technicalities that did not interest the plaintiff in his pacifist days Mir. Ford hardly shone in answcring-but are there not many business men and even fat feed professionals, who would have blundered as badly?
 Suppose MT. Ford, turned question CT, were to ask MT. Stevenson about ohms and amperes, ignition sparks and tnjectors, Vacuums and lubricants, tensile and shearing strains, the de- sign differences of combustion engines for road work, farm tractors and lumber hauling. If the lawyer runs his own automobile he might manage for a while, but he would soon begin to founder in the depths of an inno- cent ignorance.
 The fact is, of course, that Mir. Ford has vast fund of useful knowl- edge, first hand, accurate and on tap. All men are ignorant somewhere; even the learned Dr. Johnson misde- fined horses "pastern" in his dic- tionary, and gave Ignorance. madam; pure ignorance" as the sufficient ex- cuse. Most of MT. Ford's critics could easily be tangled up themselves in an examination directed by skilled coun- sel along lines remote from their daily experience.

Washington, Aug. 9.-Protest; from 25,0O0,00O persons have been sent 10 President Wilson urging the veto of the daylight law repeal This statement was made yesterday by William A. Ferguson, secretary of the National Daylight Saving asso- citation.
 The most significant part of these protests" said MT. Ferguson, lis that many of them are from the Middle and Far West, which are supposed by some to be opposed to the daylight saving.
 Throughout the East practically every chamber of commerce has reg. istered similar protests. These pro- tests far outweigh those forwarded by opponents of daylight saving, but there should be many more forward ed.
 The women, who realize the bene- fits Of daylight saving perhaps more than any one else, should forward i'm dividual and club protests to the White House and their representa- tiVes in congress-"

Worship of the Past.
Bridgeport Post)

The New Haven Journal Courier thinks Connecticut did quite the right thing in refusing to ratify the pro- hibition amendments; hopes Connect icut will refuse to ratify the equal suffrage amendment; thinks the League of Nations idea is a holy ter TOT, believes the treaty for the pro- lection of France ought to be killed and finally urges us all to go back to the 'voices in the air that guided the founders of the American consti- tuition.
 AS for the telephone. the telegra ph, the cable, the ocean liner, the flying machine and the steam railroad, our New Haven contemporary cannot see where these or other modern inVen- tons have in any way affected the sit uation. A plague on such shallow reasoning it says.
 There is something pathetic about the picture of poor old Rip Van Wrinkle, waking up in a changed world and rubbing his aching eyes And somehow or other, there is a striking resemblance in this respect between Rip Van Wrinkle and the New Haven Journal-Courier.
 The Tories of Washington's time uSeu eXaCCly the same arguments against modern innovators. Washing ton was a revolutionary who over turned the established order. And every fine old-fogy mind of Washing tons day and generation shrieked in agony at Washington's departure from the "sacred principles of the past" just as the JIG. is shrieking today.
 Every northern Copperhead during the Civil war felt the same way to- ward the Fourteenth amendment of the U. $. Constitution, as the New Haven Journal-Cou feels toward the prohibition and equal suffrage amendments. There is no word on this subject that the editor of the New Haven paper can say today that has not been previously said, and bet ter said, by the Copperheads who did their hest to cripple the admiristra-

THE RAILROAD SITUATION.

Though we today feel the effects of the strike of workers in the railway shops more than we have heretofore we are, nevertheless, assured that the shopmen are going back to their work and that conditions will be normal again within a few days pending a set clement of the wage issue which is said to be the principal reason for the present trouble. The shopmen have asked for a twenty-five per cent in crease in pay, and it is this which is the occasion for today's tie-up in traf- fic. The present question should not be confused with the threat of other branches of the railway mems union to quit unless higher wages or lower cost of living were forthcoming though it appears to us as if one was more or less dependent on the other. Had it not been for the statement of the engineers we believe that the shopmen would have remained satis- fled, for the time being, at least.
 Even though the men who keep the equipm ent in repair do return, imm e. diately, to their jobs, they have done a great deal of harm to our transpOr- taton systems. The equipment was in poor shape, due to it's heavy use and the lack of cars during the war, and the attention of the repair men was needed. It has been suspended if only for a day or so,, and we will feel the strike for some time to come BreakdoWns will be more common, so much time has been lost that might have been put into working on the rolling stock, and there are so many workers involved that the effects are bound to be great.
 If the poor equipment does not hold out if the lack of cars for a few days causes many breaks in it, we will feel the effect just as much as we would if the workers again went out, and the engineers with them. The strike was most ill-adVised. There can be littla sympathy with it.
