TO ELIMINATE
 JITNEYS TO GET
 FIVE GENT FARE
Manager of Connecticut Go.
 Says This Is Only Solution.

That the safety car and the eIni- nation of the jitney is the ultimate so- lution Of the five cent fare rate is the opinion of many Connecticut Com pany officials which is shared by Manager Joseph S Goodwin.
 MT. Goodwin stated today that the new twO-minute headway on the North Main street hue was showing such results that the jitneys on that line were not getting any passengers to speak of except those who travelled beyond the safety car zone.
 Asked if the passing of the jitney was the solution of the five cent fare that it might be and said that the do much to forestau any raise and might d o much to reduce the rate.
 The local manager admitted that a day was coming soon when it would be a choice between the Connecticut Company's cars and the jitney and states that he is convinced that the jitney is not wanted beside the street car as they are not as dependable in a crisis This view is also shared by president of the company, Lucius s. Storrs, who made a similar staten ent here some time ago.
 It seems to be the opinion of the heads Of the traction company that a two-minute headway on all lines in the city and numerous safety cars will bring back the trade of the con- pany and gradually force the iitneys to assume runs where the street cars are not operating

C0URTTAkES RECESS UNTIL JAN 2
 "WETS" LOSING HOPE
ORDERS GOVERNMENT TO SHOW CAUSE WHY ORIGINAL PROCEEDINGSN SHOULD NOT BE ENTERED
 BY STATES.

Washington, Dec, 22-The Supreme Court today recessed until January five, without handing down an opinion on the constitutionality of sections of inc NoIstead prohibition en- forcement act, affecting the al- c0hOfic content of beer.
 The supreme court today ordered the government to show cause on January .. why original proceedings should not be instituted by the states of Rhode Island and New Jersey Ii- 4UCr dealers to have determined the coEs,itHti0uality of the national pro- hiAitioa constitional amendment
 Applications for permission to con- test the amendments validity and seek injunction against it's enforce llent in those states were presented last week. In both instances the amendment was alleged to conflict with the state police powers and with the federal constitution.
 In ordering the government to show cause the court, according to government attorneys, followed an unusual procedure, as ordinarily in such instances permission to bring such a proceeding as given and date fixed when they are returnabIe. The court however, was generally beIiev- ed to have been prompted by the fact that as the amendment becoming ef- fective on Jan. s next. the procedure would expedite matters.

Mexico City. Dec 22-MeXican women are preparing to take hand in the affairs of the Mexican republic They intend first to eliminate soci7! and industrial evils and later to make a fight for political equality This is the program of the Mexican F'enin- ist Council. a national organization with headquarters in Mexico City
 The Council does not believe that the mass Of Mexican women are at present prepared for complete suff rage but the Council hopes eventual ly to make them a vital political force. The present Mexican gov ernment looks with favor upon their efforts, according to Senorita Elena Torres general secretary of the Council. Heads of the government, she said, advocate complete eman- cipation of Mexican women"
 The Feminist Council has organized groups to teach Mexican women how their conditions may be improved in dustrially and socially. The next step, said Senorita Torres, will be or ganization of women workers in in- dustry to demand fair and equal treatment at the hands of their enl- ployers They will not countenance any bitter sex war which has char acterized the feminist movement in some European countries, but expect cooperation from the men. The Council intends to bring the Mexican womens movement in contact with similar organizations in other coun tries and to work with the women of the world for peace, disarmament and anti-imperialism.
 Senorita Torres predicts that Mexi- can women will create new era of amicable relations and a more com- plete understanding between Mexico and the United States Later, she said. the Feminist Council intends to propose the formation of Latin American union to bring about a closer friendship, culturally, indus trially and politically, between MeXi- co and the countries of South and Centra1 America.

LIQUOR BAN CAUSE Of
 7ANGLE
May Not Be Able to Set tie Estate Until After
 Jan. I6.
DRY LAW LEAVES
 JUDGE POWERLESS

Prohibition and the will of the late Charles II. Mclean, proprietor of the Seaside hotel, have combined to cause a tan- gle in the settlement of the cs- tate in the Probate court which may not end until after Jan nary l6 when the prohibition amendment becomes effective and only then by giving the cs- tate's heirs bottle of whiskev, first 10 one and then to the other.
 Such a situation in the settlement of the estate has arisen that Judge Miller can see no way out of the tangle except to equally divide the stock liquors between Mrs. Mclean. the widow, and a son Howard K Mclean.
 According to the will Mrs. Mclean and the son were each left an equal half interest in the business. The will was dated prior to July 1 and Mclean died in June. After prohi- bitiou arrived Mrs. Mclean as ad- minstrix of the estate, ordered the cafe at the Seaside hotel closed, due to the hIgh rental they were paying and her belief that no money would be made on selling 2.75 per cent beer.
 Howard K Mclean has now hTnlJgh+ - damages which he claims he incurred when the saloon was closed, due to his half interest in the estate, as he said they would have made money had they continued to operate. He has engaged Judge Frank L. Wilder to care for his interests
 Owing to the prohibition law now in force Judge Miller is powerIess from the standpoint of the federal au- thOritIes to grant court order selling the stock of liquors and he is also pOwerless to order a sale from the probate laws as there are other inter ests with which bills may he paid This was a specific bequest and tine law states that no specific bequest may be sold to satisfy the estates claims until all other means have been exhausted. The value of the entire estate is $1S,419.41
 Mrs. Mclean alleges that Mel. can has taken Whiskey and wines from the store and made no record of them and she is asking damages for this alleged liberty. Mclean on the other hand has filed bill against the estate for over $1,1O0 for ser vices and this Mrs. Mclean has dis allowed
 At the hearing before Judge Mil Ter this morning Judge Wilder re- fused to allow the sale of the saloon property on any grounds as he claims he would be hurting his clients interests in the case for dam ages which he claims he has brought if the business had been continued
 Judge Miller cannot permit the sale until after Jan. Is, even if the heirs would allow it. as the wartime act may be lifted by President Wilson and this would allow the estate to sell the liquors legally and make a hand some profit.
 If the wartime law is not lifted Judge AIIler's only solution seems U be to divide the stock of liquors equally between the heirs and then let them dc what they will with it. Ms. Mclean it is understood, is will ing to sell the cafe interests now but it is forbidden by the other heir
 AS far is is known this is the first where the wartime act has prevented the settlement Of the estate ard caus- ed any such tangle as this

COUNTY SHERIFF ARRANCES MENU

Although there are 125 less prison CTS who will spend Christmas at the county jail this year than in 1918, County Sheriff Pease has made ar ranements to give the inmates a good Yulettde dinner. Only 72 prisoners will gather around the festive board on Thursday and after they have done justice to the bill of fare they may feel that life in jail, where you don't have to pay the food profiteers, has it's compensations after all.
 The following menu has been pre- pared for the prisoners: Roast beef. Drowned potatoes. mashed turnips, boiled onions, celery. pie, crullers, ap- pies and coffee. There is some alarm among jail officials that the premature publishing of the menu may cause some hungry individuals to break into jail before Thursday in order to get a real dim CT free

L.EE,S.S GOALS USED

Churches Report They Have Con
sumcd so Tons Less Than
Year Ago

Montreal, Feb. Owing to weather
conditi ms the amount Of coal used for
heating purposes this winter shows a
total decrease of about Is per cent
over last years expenditure up to the
corresponding date, according to es-
Inmates given The Star by owners of
large Office buildings, apartment
houses and churches. One church re-
ports the purchase of only 80 tons
of coal this winter, as compared with
IS tons last winter, with double as
much left in the bin as was left last
year at this time.
Churches report that they have
purchased on the average, 80 tons of
coal less than last year. AS there are
$50 churches, including missions, in
the city there has been saving of
about 5,400 tons of coal in the church
cs alone.
1t is pointed out, however, that
the saving in the number of
tons Of coal does not represent as
large a money saving as would at
first seem apparent, because coal that
sold last year at from SIS to 81 a ton
this year fetched So and $40 ton. It
IS also argued that no one can pro-
phesy what surprises the weather
man may have in store for February.
