WOMAN HAD RIGHT ID
 SMASH UP AUTOMOBILE
Judge F mds Mrs. Johnson Owned Car-Jealousy
 Caused Ructi0n.

Acting Judge Harry F. Roche dis charged Mrs. Hilda Johnson, who was arraigned in police court this morning at the instance of her brother-in-law, J. Harold Johnson, on charge of in- jury to private property. Judge Roche ruled that the accused was entitled to be freed since there was evidence of, collusion in an instrument purported to be a bill of sale for an automobile--the article damaged-from Charles Johnson, husband of the accused, who is suing for divorce, to his brother. Mrs. Johnson claims that she has paid for the car in spite of the fact that it was registered in the name of her husband and his name appears on the notes with which the vehicle was purchased. Evil dence was introduced to show that the accused has paid the notes in the City Bank and Trust company, Hartford. Lawyer P. F. McDonough represented Mrs. Johnson's interests and Prosecutor Albert A. Greenberg handled the states side of the legal battle which was waged over a period of three hours.
 Mrs. Johnson was notified to appear in court by Detective Sergeant A. J. Richardson last Friday, following her discharge from the hospital after a months illness. The case was adjourned until this morning at the request

Practically No Special Grants by
 Assembly Expected ACCOUNTS MUST BALANCE
Income and Expenditures for Next Two Years Must Be Made to Ball. ance, Is Opinion Expressed by Those Who Ought to Know.

Hartford. April 13.-That the sink ine fund already accumulated will amortize the state debt on maturity of the bonds in 1886 and leave a bal ance of $2.7O0,00O, was shown at 8 meeting of 46 citizens, legislators and public officials held after a dinner giv- en by the Connecticut Chamber of Commerce at the Hartford club last evening. Confidence was guardedly expressed by those in authority that practically no special appropriations would be made by the present general assembly and that the states income and expenditures for the next two years might be made to balance. The committee on survey of state finance of the Chamber made eight specific recommendations, among which was one limiting the power of the board of control to exceed by more than ten per cent. the appropriations made by the legislature: another to suspend the sinking fund and for the removal of public officials who exceed the scope of their power. Public officials were highly complimented and the general conclusion was that Connecti- cut is in the best financial condition of any state in the Union.
 What Ferguson Says.
 Samuel Ferguson. vice-president of the Hartford Electric Light Co.,. said:
 Tn 1915 I called attention to the fact that state finances could not be guided to best advantage until proper recognition was given to the differ ence between principal expenditures and operating expenses, and I wish to repeat the statement. and again urge that capital expenditures for permanent Improvements should be treated as a temporary asset and bonds issued against them. There must of course be automatic annual provision made for retirement, either through sinking fund or by the re- tirement annually of serial bonds" Mr. Ferguson told of his recommenda- tions for a systematic method of raising the funds necessary for the states activities. This included short term notes and ten year bonds, the latter for permanent improvements. He said:
 Lake Puts Idea Aside.
 Such systematic procedure would anomalous situation of shortage of funds and at the same time sinking fund which is almost $3.000,000 larger than is required to retire the states funded debt of $12,000,o00 at maturity" .a ....
 Governor Lake threw out an idea, which he said 'had not as yet crys- tallized in his own mind,' that the budgets of the several state depart ments for each two year fiscal period might be divided into 24 monthly units so that any excess of expenditure over the appropriation might be im- mediately checked as we go along. This met with approval from several speakers. There was also general ap- proval of the recomm endation of the governor and comptroller of a uni- form system of accounting, with dupli- cate accounts in the comptroller's of fee and in each department or in- cff

PATRIOTIC PLEA IS NEW RUM
 VAR CLUB

Ey International News SurytoD
 WASHINGTON. Oct. 29-Get a new bird's-cye view of dry law enforce mcnt Picture rmraidcrs waving the flag instead of their clubs to subduc Iawbreakers. Imagine law enforcers invading the worst rum holes. still flourishing in a country legally dry, and making fervent appeals to patriot ism of the wayward!
 That's the new idea in checking vto- latOrs of liquor law. It's the new method dry law chiefs have decided to give a tryout in obtaining greater law observance There s real hon est effort by these bosses in mat ters of rum to let the rule of reason govern. There is less of the fanLtical disregard of the rights of citizens ard more of a desire to make law enforce ment a success by convincing he peo- pie that the constitution is not thing to be flouted.
 Prohibition Commissioner Haynes, at close range. is found to be a man of the broad.guaged type. He's reason able. He's bone dry. but not fanatical. Being a man of vision, he believes that more men can be won over to the cause of law enforcement by an ap- peal to intelligence and patriotism than by tactics which include the searching of hip-pockets for flasks of liquor. He believes that red-blooded Americans will listen to one and re- sent the other. And he now is pro ceeding upon that theory.
 The dry law chiefs policy, there, fore, is to be educational and part of his busy weeks hereafter may be oc- cupied in speeches before representa- tive gatherings around the country His utterances will have patriotism for their keynote As a public speaker Haynes is rated highly.

GERMAN TITLES LIVE DESPITE
 MANDATES
CBy International News servicel

By International News Service)
 BERLIN. Oct. 20. Equality. at least the outward manifestations of equality ss evidenced by the demo cratic abolition of titles, has failed in Republican Germany. "rhe now fed eral constitution abolished orders and titles" writes the Berliner Tageblatt, but the stroke of pen was unable to remove the vanity of humanity in general and the weaknes of the Ger. man in particular for fine-sounding, highfalutin titles.
 Titles are inseparably connected with the monarchical form of govern ment and have no place in republic. Nevertheless. more value Is placed on title today than under the old re- gime. Scarcely a day passes but what some group of government officials pe- titions for the regulation or the adjust ment of the title peculiar to their posts"
 HAVE 'mODEHN Ifl LEO
 German orderliness required that everyone have some sort Of designa. tion or title. so that anyone could i'm. mediately be placed in exactly the proper pigeonhole in the social system. Thus one finds in the telephone di- rectly, under Schmidt: director" factory owner" merchant" pub fisher" "barber," farm owner" These titles are used much more ire Quently than given names.
 The kaiser's government awarded professional men of proven merit such titles as justice councillor" "sani- tarv councillor" and "commcrcial councillor" Artists. sculptors, mu- sicians and grc1t surgeons were given the highly-covcted title, "profcssor,' ,' which had no connection with the teaching profession.
 The chairman of tho Berlin phy~i. clans society and bar association has protested that tho abolition oE the honorary titles has worked a great hardship on the professional men, who now cant get titles from the Re publican administration Tn" patients and clients are under the old til" hypnosis: the man with the biggest title is the best doctor or lawyer and they are Hooking to the offices of the men who retain their titles from the old regime
