LIGHTING COMPANY IS BUILDING SUB-STATION Distributing Branch in Gen. ter of City to Cost
 $30,O00.

Work is proceeding rapidly on the new sub-station for the Connecticut Light and Power company being con- structed on Church street and Corbin Place. having a cstle connection with the Corbln avenue station of the com pany carrying 13.200 volts. The new building will have concrete founda- tions and basement with brick super structure. The architectural design and general arrangement of the build ing has been planned by Max Unkel- bach in co-operatlon with engineers of tho company. W. E. Burk will carry on the actual construction which will involve an expenditure of ap- proximateiy $3O.oo0 at the present time
 Because of the rapid growth both in the residential and industrial sec tions of the city during the past few years, tine company has found it necessary to plan the new sub-station to take care Of the increasing load. As an enormous voltage is to be trans mltted from the present plant in the western end of the city through West Main street to the new station, it will be necessary to enlarge the West Main street subways. When ready for operation the new building will serve as the main distribution point for general lighting and power re- qui-ements in the center of the city.
 It is the plan of the lighting com pany to add to the sub-station from year to year. as the need of such construction shows itself. Eventually a very large proportion of the load" in the city will be distributed from this point.

LACK OF CASH HOLDS
 UP CHILDREN'S HOME
$75,0O0 More is Needed to Complete Structure
 May Have Drive.

The new children's home which is being built on Radcliffe Heights has reached a crisis in its young career. The building is now nearly two stories high but work is temporarily sus- pended because of lack of funds. The major part of the building is com pleted and but $75,000 is needed to finish up the home so that it can be inhabited. The following is a state ment by Rev. J. E. Klingberg, super intendent.
 ''The work on the new Children's Home building began in April and has had progress ever since. When the building operations started there was in the neighborhood of $50, 900 in the Building Fund, As this sum has now been used up in building the base ment and the first floor those in charge of the work feel that unless more money will be given towards the object they will go no further but put on a temporary roof and fin- ish the inside of what has been built and wait for the erection of the two upper stories till later on. Of course this will not give any room for new children which in itself is lamentable moreover as there are scores of needy little ones waiting for room. The building will also with its flat roof look very low. Furthermore, it will be an extra expense of several thousand dollars for the roof. The thing to do in order to avoid this extra outlay of money would be to erect the walls to their full height and put the roof On the way it should be put on and thus finish the outside while on the other hand the inside finish of the two up- per stories could be done later. But to do this a sum of about s75,0O0 will be required, and if this amount could be left at our disposal we could fin ish the whole outside of the building.
 There are now 140 children in the Home, 90 of whom are from New

REMOVE OFFICERS WHO
 IGNORE PROHIBITION
Such is Advice of Anti Saloon League Leader Who
 Explains Enforcement.

Washington, Sept. 15-Enforce- ment of the prohibition amendment, plans for the fight before the next congress to prevent modification of the enforcement act and world pro- hibition were the principal topics be- fore the conference of anti-saloon league leaders which began here to- day.
 Enforcement of the liquor amend ment was discussed today by Prohi- bition Commissioner Kramer, Wayne B. Wheeler, general counsel of the anti-saloon league and other speak CTS.
 '.The power to enforce national prohibition is given both to the state and the nation said MT. Wheeler. "It is up to the people to see to it that federal and state officers to their duty in sustaining and enforcing the amendment. Local and state officers who are trying to evade responsibility in the enforcement of national prohi- bition should be removed from office.
 Washington, Sept. 15.-A commit tee was appointed today at the antf- saloon league conference here to draft resolution warning federal judges that unless they 'sacredly perform their sacred duties'' in enforcing pro- hibition laws the league will seek their impeachment.
 The committee was named by the Rev. P. A. Baker, general superin- tendent of the league, ,after speakers at the conference had vigorously criticized federal judges for alleged laxity in meting out punishment to those convicted of violating the pro- hibition amendment and enforcement t law.
 Charges were made that some of the judges had 'coddled bootleggers and moonshiners" and that prohibi- tion laws were being made "a farce' in some sections by the light punish ment.

 The reason President Wilson had not previously been asked to lend his aid to Cox and Roosevelt, Sena- tor Harrison explained was that the presidents health was not thought to be good enough to permit his indul- gence in the ardor of a campaign.
 Is Wanted Badly.
 We certainly do want the presi- dent to do all he can and have re- ceived assurance that his accord with the democratic ticket is of the heartiest," Senator Harrison said.
 We were surprised, however, to learn from a newspaper item today that there was some likelihood of President Wilson doing some speak ing. There is nothing we would like better.
