Senate Committee Is
To Investigate Housing
Situation in This State Far
From Normal-Chambers
of Commerce To Be Rep
resented at Hearings.

Washington, Aug. 30-Consideration
of housing conditions in Connecticut
will occupy a large share of the at
tention of the Senate's special com
mittee on reconstruction and produc-
ton, which will hold hearings in
Boston today and tomorrow. The
gatherings will be at the State House
in that city and it is hoped by mem
bers of the Senate committee, which
is headed by Senator William NJ. Cal
der as chairman, that information
giving the present situation in Con-
necticut will be produced during the
stay at Boston,
1t is understood here that represen-
tatives of the chambers of commerce
in several Connecticut cities will be
present for the occasion The Senate
committee, aside from Senator Calder,
is composed of Senator Walter Z.
of that state; Senator William S.
Kenyon of Iowa; Senator Josiah o.
Wolcott of Delaware and Senator Ed
ward J. Gay of Louisiana.
During the war the government
took much interest in Connecticut
housing conditions, that state having
been depended upon for a large share
of all munitions used by the armies
overseas. In Bridgeport the situation
was pdrtlcu larlN acute ana at New
London a federal housing corporation
was organized to aid in relieving con-
ditions.
From informa ton received here
the situation in Connecticut, all
though not as pressing as in several
other states at this time, is far from
normal.
1t is expected that a representation
from several city chambers of COM
merce in this stat will be on hand
to explain the housing conditions con-
fronting Conn ecticut cities and towns.
The Committee expects to get word
of some of the solutions of the prob
lens that have been tried, as we'll as
an insight into the actual shorta ge
in cities where no concerted attempt
has been made to remedy the exist
ing conditions.
Whether or not the findings of the
committee will result in the forma-
ton of other government housing cor
porations, such as those operated in
Bridgeport and New London durin g
the war, is problematical, but should
conditions warrant there is a chance
that the precedent once established
will be followed out in relieving 8
congested conditions in Industrial CEN
terS.
Among other remedies presented in
the hearings will probably be the one
worked out in this city of organiz-
ing a housing corporation among the
business interests.

DAMAGES
OF $4,000
ARE ASKED

Damages of $4,000, and two in
functions restraining the H. J. Lewis
Oyster Co., of Pembroke street, to dis
continue dumping oyster shells in the
dock near the property of Mrs. Ley
T. West, of this city, are being asked
in a suit which she is bringing for
the damages in the Superior Court.
The plaintiff also asks for an in
junction restraining the Oyster com
pany from preventing her using a
right of way for teams over the prop
erty of the company. She Clalms-that t
during the past few years she has not
been given reasonable places to have
her teams pass, and through that
has not been able to sell her property
or use it as she wishes or to lease it
She brings the action in-twe civil
suits, one for $4,000 damages, and
the other for $4,000 DANA ges. She
claims that the dumping of oyster
shells into the dock at Pembroke
street, adjoining her property has
prevented vessels from coming into
the dock. Property to the amount
of 1000 has been attached.

London, Aug. 30 - The hunger
strike of Terence MacSwiney, Lord

that even if he took food now it
would do him no good, according to a
statement by the Brixton prison doc

even more gravely i'll than last reports

COUNTRY BOY ROLES
PLAYED BY CHARLES

People have fallen into the habit
of calling every picture in which
Charles Ray appears with n rustic
background a typical Ray pie
lures and letting it go at that
This would seem to indicate that
the youthful stars characterize
tons are largely all alike, which is
not true
Mr. Ray is one of the most YER
satile stars of the screen. Review
ing some Of his most recent pie
lures reveals the fact that the past
year he has appeared in such
widely diversified roles as 1t prize
fighter, crack baseball player, Il
hotel clerk, an expressman, a bank
clerk, son of poor but honest
parents, son of rich but unscrup-
ulous parents. as an English arts
tocrat and finally a detective.
He has the last named part in
his newest Thomas II. Ince picture,
"A Village Sleuth," in which he
will be seen at the "B' theater to-
day and tomorrow. Mr.. Ray is a
small town lad with ambitions to
become a great detective, and, Sc
curing position as chore boy in Il
rest sanitarium, he Unexpectedly is
given an opportunity to show his
sleuthing ability and makes good.
Jerome storm directed the picture,
which is a Paramount release, and
Winfred Westoyer is the leading
woman.
