 The petition of the undersigned respectfully shows:
 That I am a citizen and taxpayer of the City of New Britain.
 That on December 30, 1920, my wife Elizabeth Goodrich, died in the city of New Britain and her death was occasioned by the negligence and indifference of the health department of the city of New Britain.
 That said health department with out having reasonable grounds there for placed and enforced a strict quar- antine at a time when my wife was confined in childbirth:. refused to per- init a nurse to enter the premises for the purpose of caring for my said wife and then neglected to visit or inspect the premises or to take action on any of the repeated calls for emergency assistance.

Bootleggers Greatest Problem,
 Enforcement Chief Declares
HOME BREW NO TROUBLE
Four Big Problems Are Shipments From Warehouses, Diversion of "Medicines,' and Smuggling.

Hartford4 Jan. 15.-John F. Kra- mer, national prohibition enforce ment commissioner, who is here for two days to attend the mid-winter banquet of the Connecticut Prohibi- tion party and to consult with fed eral officials who are trying to make the Volstead act more effective in this vicinity. admits that making the United States unsafe for bootleggers is long job.
 How About Home Brew.
 How about home brew?" the com missioner was asked.
 That is a problem which will set tie itself," he replied. .r.
 Tt is not causing us any worry, for we know that in time it will cease to exist in practically every section of the country. All you have to do is to look at the folks who are try ing to brew their own drink today to know that the custom will never grow very widespread. The home brew problem and the sale of malt and hops by drug stores are two phases of our work which will be settled and settled satisfactorily by the com munities themselves in response to public opinion"
 What are the things that are giving you the most trouble" MT. Kramer was asked.
 Four Big Problems.
 There are four problems that are very real, and that are daily making it impossible to enforce the Volstead act as it should be enforced. There are the shipment of liquor from warehouses, the diversion of alcohol from industrial purposes into bev- erages, the use of medicines contain ing alcohol as beverages. and the smuggling of liquor across our nor thern and southern borders
 Commissioner Kramer went on to explain that shipping of liquor in trucks, which is carried on to con- siderable extent in this state, was due tc the illegal MnmovaI Of wet goods from warehouses in Boston, Providence and New York. He ex- plained that it was the aim of the federal authorities to stop this re- moval and thereby do away with the automobile booze runners.
 Commissioner Kramer said that the thing most needed in this locality was state legislation that would help to sustain the volstead act.

New York Herald Bureau,
Washington, ID. c., June 9.
Party leadership in Congress is in
trouble. The immediate symptoms
are the formation in the last few
months of certain non bipartisan groups
devoted to specific legislative prob
Items which they intend to support not
as matter OF party loyalty but
wholly for the interests of their con-
stituency, regardless of party lines.
The latest is the so-cailed "agicul-
tural bloc Of Senators from dozen or
more agricultural States. Democrats
and Republicans from the South and
West numbering more tl'an sc.fe OF
Senators met formally, chose chair
man, sub committees, arranged a set
programme OF legislation, indorsed It,
and have pledged themselves to push 1t
to final conclusion II possible.
This movement attracted marked at
tention because Of the businesslike way
members took matters into their own
hands. They did not do it in any spirit
OF party revolt. nor was there any aues-
ton raised at any of their meetings as
10 the proprlety OF party machinery. 1t
was simply what seemed to them a logf-
cal method OF doing something in Con-
gress that they thought ought to be
done Nevertheless it aroused good
deal Of criticism from seasoned party
Veterans accustomed to formulating leg
islstive programmes in the time honored
way. and frankly they did not like 1t and
said so.
Conyersationally also those in the
movement said In substance that they
did not give a continental whether the
old timers liked II or not, and that they
proposed to fight 1t out on that line re-
gardless OF criticism, ridicule, sneers.
hints of 'sovietism" OF anything else.
The unoercurrent of talk aroused by
the formation Of the agricultural bloc"
served 10 call attention 10 other groups
formed, all of non BIPARTISAN character,
all without reference TO consultation
with party leaders and virtually all de-
voted to set programme of legislation.
Here, briefly, are some of the other
groups that have been segregatfng

fliation

sented.

several weeks ago when agitation
OF the GALES tax first began to at
tract attention. II Is not a hard and
fast organization. yet in the meet-

that at least twenty Senators
pledged themselves to vote against
the sales tax. Both parties were
fully represented.
