POLICE GOING
AFTER MIGRANTS

Migrants and other persons charged
with minor misdemeanors were ar
rested and hailed before Mayor Nc
Clanahan this week in connection with
the Police Departments plan to keep
the city clear of law violators Of all
kinds.
Last Thursday there appeared be-
fore the Police Court charged with
vagrancy eight negroes picked up
over the city by diligent police Of
ficers. These were Henry Davis, Will
lie Irons, Charles Carpenter, Jack
Campbell, John Henry, Constantine
Hill, Ozie Moody and Thad Coleman
and after being reprimanded by the
Mayor were given until next Thurs
day, January %, to get jobs and go
to work.
I Four were picked up for walking en-
fresh concrete which is being put down
on all the streets in the business Sec
ton Of the city. They were Willie
Bush, Jim and Mary Sturdivanti and
Tom Perry. Citizens are warned to
be careful Of the newly laid concrete
as Chief Cook has given instructions
to arrest all persdls in any way mu-
tilating it.

which are in the majority against
America. Then we will know who is
right-and not until then.
Sentiment is fast erystallizing for
early ratification, and the senate's
extremists on both sides should get
together and agree upon reservations
which will enable it to pass. It
should not longer be postponed and
even those men who favored it
straight are seeing the error of their
way and are joining the reservation
lists. The idea of making it the CAM
paign issue and postpOning It for
fourteen months more meets with
little favor with the American people
who want the League out Of the way
and the attention of our statesmen
concentrated upon our own national
issues.

A NATIONAL HIGHWAY.

Brother Bryan reaches out and sug-
gests something before the other
fellow thinks of It. He's regarded
as visionary and impractical but he
generally gets results in everything
except his presidential nomination.
AT the Jackson banquet he sug-
gested system of national highways
as a memorial to our soldiers who
won the recent war.
Visionary now, but you must re-
member that many Of Bryan's vis-
lonary views of 20 years ago are now
the accepted policies Of the country.
And perhaps it lis not so vision
airy after all. No tax brings to the
people a larger return than road
tax and if such system was con-
structed now it would unite America
as nothing else would. 1t would
solve our complex transp ration
problem which needs assistance from
every source. Freights are being de-
-livered all over the East by truck and
the same thing could apply to all
the nation.
Intercourse between the various
sections should be freer and easier,
developing a better national spirit
and fostering homogenity among
our people.
1t would help our national life in
helping to solve the problem of con-
gesting population by bringing OPP
portunities before millions.
Brother Bryan has lived long
enough to see most Of his visions
realized except 16 to /, which is now
even better, and let us hope that he
will be here to traverse the great
national way.

President Wilson could have said
so easily in his letter to the Jackson
Day banqueters that he was not a
candidate for third term.
But he didn't. 4

the pact; after Gliding the republi-
cars for their failure to make it law;
after calling attention to the dread

from Americas failure to accept the
League, he about faces and wants its
ratification postponed for fourteen
months that the people may pass
upon it.

done.

SHIPPING BOARD
 BONDS AS BONUS

Louisville, Ky, May 6-Shipping board ship bonds for soldier and sail or veterans of the great war is sug- gested as a solution of the bonus question in a letter written by Samuel H. McMeekin, commander, Jefferson Post, Louisville, to the executive committee, American Legion, at Washington.
 MT. McMeekin's letter, it was learn ed today, suggested financing the bo- nus through issuance of interest paying shipping board ship bonds, backed by several thousand profit earning shipping board vessels. These bonds, the plan provides, would be issued in $50, $1oO, $500 and s1,0oo denominations and be given to the veterans according to their length of service.
 In support of his plan MT McMee- kin said it would afford immediate financing of the bonus question with out additional taxation, as all interest accruing on the ship bonds would be earned by the ships. Moreover, he said, it would insure American owner ship and operation of a vast mer- chant marine

To Be Alternate to Law Partner-Woman Under
 study for Spellacy

New Haven, May 6-Homer s. Cummings, chairman of the demo- cratic national committee and tenn ,porary chairman of the state conVen- ton here, will be a member of the Conunecttcut delegation to the demo cratic national convention He ex- pressed the opinion last night that he will be alternate to Charles D. Lockwood of Stamford, his law part ner, who is slated to be one of, the delegates at large. Chairman Cum mings explained that, as he was to be temporary chairman of the na tional convention, it was desirable that his name be on the temporary roll It was for this reason, he said. that he would accept appoin tment as an alternate.
 Chairman Cummings said the par ty rules needed no revision to permit the selection of women as aIternates to delegates at large He felt con fident, he said. that some of the dele gates would designate women as their alternates, as it was the privilege of each delegate to name his own alter. mates.
 Thomas T. Spellacy of Hartford, who hopes to be one of the delegates at large, said there would be more than one woman on the Connecticut delegation. He said definitely that he intended to name a woman alter nate. but was not prepared to say whom he had in mind.
 It was intin1ated that Chairman David E. Fitzgerald of the state cen tra1 committee will also appoint a woman.
