G.. L. Fox Goes on
Another Rampage
Attacks, This Time, Proposal for
Development of New
Haven HarbOr.
Especial to The Labor NeWs.)

Hartford, April 15.-George l. Fox
OF New Haven. is at is again. Failing
to stop educational progress, especially
in high schools and force pupils into pri-
waite schools, one of which he conducts,
the Elm City SChoolmaster has now
turned his attention to other proposed
improvements and on Tuesday last ranted
wildly against the bill providing for a
commission to study and develop New
Haven harbor. FoN, as usual, was all
alone in his TRADE and if his efforts meet
the success his other attacks have met in
the Legislature, New Haven will prob
ably get what it asks as the committees
are beginning to believe that what Fox
opposes must have much merit in it.
Fox Topped right into the middle Of
bunch of strong arguments as to why
and where the entire state would be
benefited by the development of New
tiaven's harbor. Mayor FITZGERALD and
a small army Of New Haven and other
men pointed out the natural advantages
to be derived by the state as a whole
by the development, even Colonel Cll-
man for once agreeing with the mayor,
that the project was one OF the biggest
things the state ever was called upon to
support New Haven is ready to do its
share, they stated.
Then Fox, with arms waving and
perspiration dropping from his brow, be-
gan He Ccnsured the state for the New
London harbor development some years
back, declared Bridgeport had been suf
fcring from Economic deliriu1n tremens"
when it sought to build its harbor up
and that now New Haven was enjoy
ing a species of dementia that if Mayor
FitzGcrald got across would result in
his (Fox) giving him the fight Of his
life Fox didn't know nor care how the
entire state would benefit by the pro-
posal, he said, all he cared about was to
block it and block it he would if it lay
within his power. The committee let
him talk, until he grew tired and then
took the matter under consideration.

SOLONS FROWN ON
PROHIBS ALLEGED
ENFORCEMENT ACT
Judiciary Committee Will Not
Take Chances of Exceed
ing Federal Laws.
(SDecial to The Labor NeWs.)

-
Hartford, April 15.-The attempts of
the prohbitionists to have Connecticut
90 the Federal NOlstead act one better
the national law. is likely to meet with
failure to Judge from the attitude of the
judiciary committee when their proposed
bill was up for hearing. Although
Messrs Hohenthal, Spooner, ct ais,
argued at length in support of their pet
measures, the judiciary, through Leaders
Delaney and Buckley and Representa-
tives Nickerson and Wall, picked their
arguments to pieces and plainly intimated
that Connecticut wasn't going to take any
chances with the national laws and get it
self and its people into hot water by
cnacting enforcement acts that go even
farther than in the national laws.
The committeeman brought out and
made the prohbitionists admit that the
federal laws were strong enough, if en-
forced that the state and city police
were doing good WOrl' in enforcing them
and bringing to brook offenders; that
Connecticut if adopting the act proposed
might get itself into trouble by dual pen
a1ties under the state and federal laws
and that in fact Connecticut, by even
going farther as proposed, than the ma
tional law now, would be taking big
chance with Congress possibly modifying
the present law and the proposed law
contained measures that are not ever
mentioned in the Volstead act and there
fore not german to the subject
Mr.. Hohenthal and Harrison B
Freeman stated the PRIME purpose of the
hill was to save the government expense
OF sending forces into the state to en-
force the dry act, but the committee
didn't seem to think that the state should
play that much of a good samaritan
Rev Watson L. Phillips, who introduced
tue hill, scored newspapers and citizen:
for not upholding a strict enforcement
Of TIE law, even though the people be
lievc something was put over on them.
Others s. id that if the state adopted thu
law proposed then the people Of thu
state vycld think the state did it ant
he more favorable to prohibition, though
they admitted that actually no difference
would be made.
The upshot Of the whole matter ap
pcarcd to be that the committee believed
something else was to be put over on tn
public and therefore it didn't intend It
be a party to it. An untavOrable repor
is looked for.

OLD-TIME STARS In
CAPITALlSTlC CLASS
Many Players Can Count Their
Wealth in Six Figures.
Some Examples Cited Of What Sew

Have Piled Up for Their Com
fort in Old Age.

High salaries and long seasons have
placed ball players in the capitalistic
class. That is, some ball players.
There are many men on the diamond
today who can count their wealth in
six figures, the result of careful at
tention to their work and to their in
vestments. Here are just a few ex-
amples of what some of the better
known ball players have piled up for
themselves by their ability to play ball
and to entertain the public:
Ned HanlOn, former manager of the
Brooklyns, can count his wealth up to
six figures. He has real estate in
Baltimore, Pittsburgh and Greater
New York.
Willie Keller had a big salary for

TROWEL MRS. HARDING
USED is ON WAY WEST
Planting of Memorial Trees Has
Created Demand for, It Among
Various Organizations.

The trowel Mrs. Warren G. Harding
used in planting memorial trees for
the American Forestry Association is
on its way today to South Bend, Ind.
where the memorial tree-planting
season will be opened on Friday. The
association, following telegram to
Mrs. Harding, requesting it, sent the
trowel to Mrs. Joseph E. Neff, presi-
dent of the St. Joseph County Me-
mortal Tree Forestry Association.
This organization is planting me-
mortal trees along the Lincoln high
way in honor of the men of that coun-
ty who answered their country'S call
in the world war. Requests are COM
ing to the American Forestry Asso-
citation for the trowel from many
parts of the country. In Illinois there
are many requests for the trowel used
at the same time here by Mrs. Medill
Mccormick, wife of the Illinois sena-
tor. In Illinois there is a statewide
campaign on for memorial tree plant
ing.
Memorial tree planting this fall
will break all records" said Charles
Lathrop Pack president of the Amer
lean Forestry Association, today.
What the ST Joseph county organ
ization is doing is but an example Of
what is going on all over the country.
We are registering all memorial trees
in n national honor roll. and urge
that all tree planting be reported
promptly.
I'VE also urge that requests for the
tree-planting trowels be made by or
ganizations as far in advance as pos
sible, so that the trowels may be sent
from one place to another without du-
plication of distance A tree-day pro-
gram will be sent free to any one
! asking for it, as will tree-planting

SECRETARY WEEKS PLANS
new PROMOTION POLICY
Brigadier Generals to Be Appoint
ed for Merit Regardless of
Service Arm.

Secretary Weeks has adopted new
policy in the selection Of officers for
promotion to the grade of brigadier gen.
eral.
I'm the past" said he, IAN attempt
was made to equalize promotion between
the several combat arms by distributing
among them in turn these appointments,
a certain number of vacancies being
the best men was thus occasionally sub
ordinated to the effort to equalize pro-
motion.
"Since the act of June 4. 1920. in
which Congress placed all officers or the
combat arms on single promotion hst,
the necessity for dis: s:ributing appoint
ments to eQualize promotion no longer
exists, and the best man may be sought,
without regard to his arm of the service.
Hereafter endeavor will be made TO Sc
cure the best, having in mind due re-
gard for distinguished service and the
best interests of the government as at
fected by age. past record and variety
of military experience as indicating
probable efficiency, with regard for such
other considerations as may be deemed
wise by the appointing authority In
general, while staff duty we'll performed
is considered as important, the capacity
for command is what is sought in
general officer.
I'm keeping with the policy of assign
ing general officers to the command OF
other arms than the one in which they
served before appointment, the assign
ment of field officers to duty with arms
other than that in which commissioned
is contemplated by the law and will be
used by the War Department to give
them diversified experience fitting them
for promotion. This determination con-
forms to the broad policy of affording
senior officers of the Army opportunities
at the schools of the several combat
arms, the Army Service School and the
War College, to fit them for the dis
charge of duties in the higher grades"

AIR SERVICE LABOR DRIVE
Maj. Scanlon Will Recruit $50
Men in Trades.

Maj. Martin s. Scanlon. commanding
the air station at Boiling Fled, today
began drive for recruits in the Army
air service with station at the field. He
has urgent need. he says. for carpenters,
blacksmiths. electricians. etc, and will
recruit men of those trades to the num-
ber of $50. Qualified men desiring en-
ployment should apply to Lieut.. Whit
ney, the post adjutant. who will give
all necessary information.
1t is stated that while these recruits
will at first receive the basic Regular
Army pay of $50 a month, together
with free quarters. food, clothing, etc.
they have good prospects of rapid ad-
vancement if their services are salts
factory. Lieut. Whitney said that some
carpenters blacksmiths. ETC., who en-
tered the service as recruits are now
receiving as much as $3.50 a month for
their services.

STREET LIGHTING HOURS
UNDER CONSIDERATION
Commissioner Oyster Finds Some
Thoroughfa-es Unusually Dark
at Early Morning Period.

Commissioner Oyster today made
known his intention Of inquiring into
tie hours at which street lights are
put out in the morning.
The Commissioner said he noticed
in going to the National Hotel fire
early Sunday morning that some
streets seemed unusually dark, and
the thought occurred to him that it
might be we'll to leave the street
lamps burning longer.
w. B. Hadley, in charge of street
lighting, explained that electric lights
are turned out forty=RTe minutes be-
fore sunrise and gas lights forty min
utes before sunrise.
1t is easy, he said, to get the cleo
trio lights out on schedule time. since
they can be turned off by switches in
the power plants With gas, however,
the human element enters into the
question. since the lamplighter must
make the rounds of each light.
1t is, therefore, possible that gas
lamps are not always extinguished d
at the same time. Mr. Hadley said
the police are supposed to watch for
irregularities in the turning out OF
street lights and are provided with
blank forms on which to report such
irregularities.

easy prey to Vaccinations of foreigners,
who, he said, often entered Haitian poll

their respective countries and used their
consular and othter offices to influence
island Inhabitants. He charged that
Europeans had made advances to
finance revolutions, placing the money
at usurious rates and directly profiting
from the results of the revolts.

tives was initiated by native officers Sc
