CARS IN DARKNESS
 ON THE NEW HAVEN
They're Still Using Lanterns on the Berlin Express"

Late afternoon and night passen, gers on the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad trains between this city and Waterbury. this city and Hartford as we'll as this city and Ser lin, have been obliged at many times during the past few weeks to ride fin dark or dimly lighted coaches.
 On Saturday evening, when the traffic was heavy and there were hun drcds of people crowded into the New Britain station waiting for trains the 5:32 o'clock local for Waterbury came from Hartford with nine pas- senger coaches with each coach well filled and many people standing in the aisles.
 or the nine cars there were two lighted and the others were in total darkness. Passengers alighting from the cars noticed on the coach steps in white chalk marks the words No Cas- which meant that there was no gas in the car to provide a light, The cars were dark all the way to Waterbury and, but for the occasiona, gleam of a street light as the train passe through the various towns, pas sengers were not able to see the peo- pie with whom they were riding.
 Although complaints have been heard about the condition of the lighting of the Berlin 'dinky" for the past few weeks there has been no change made. One coach is still lighted by four lanterns hanging from the side walls and the conductor in this train, the same as on some from Hartford to Waterbury and vice versa collects his tickets with the aid of lantern.
 Because of such poor lighting con- ditions and the lateness of most trains a number of New Britain people are reputed to have made complaints to the public utilities commission and it Is understood that several more are planning to do so.

FUND FOR NEW YEAR
 OBSERVANCE NEEDED
Chamber Of Commerce Committee
 Lacking Only SS0

The fund for the Municipal Christ mas tree has fallen short by about sa0 of the desired s4o0, Miss Mar, Curtin, treasurer of the committee ir charge stated this morning. although contributions will be received during this week and 1t is expected that the desired amount will be raised.
 There is at present $358 in the fund which is sufficient to dcfray all expenses incurred to date but which IS not enough to pay for the New Years expenses of the committee.
 There is. however. savings ac- count of $76 in local bank which is owned by the committee and from which money will be drawn if more contributions are not forthcoming. It Is the desire of the committee to be able to add to this fund each year instead of subtracting so that in years to come 1t will become trust fund and 1t will not be necessary to ask the public for contributions.
 There was large attendance at the Christmas exercises held at Central Park at the tree on Sunday afternoon at 5:3o o'clock. Previous to this honr about 24 members of Eddy- Glover post, American Legion, marched to the Court of Honor at Walnut Hill park and placed wreaths on the monuments. Although mem- bers of Private Walter J. Smith post, Veterans of Foreign Wars, had stated that they would march with the le- zion men in placing the wreaths, it is reported that none of them was pres- ent.

IRISH CONSULATE
 IS CLOSED TODAY
New York Office Shuts Up and Me- Grath, After Warning, Is Not To Be Found.

New York, Dec. 26.-The office of the Irish consulate" from which Daniel J. McGrath directed the af- fairs of the Dali Eireann in this city before he received letter threaten ing death unless he left the country before December 26, was closd today. Leaders in Irish affairs in the city claimed they did not know where MT. McGrath was They said they did not know where he lived.
 Employees of the building in which the rooms are situated said they had not been told the office would be closed, and declared they knew noth- ing about MT. McGrath or his affairs.
 MT. McGrath received a letter sign ed military authority, Irish republi- can army on December 14, inform ing him he would be shot on sight after the morning of December 26 because the writers held him respon- sible for the execution of Rory O'Con- nor and three other Irish republicans.
 At that time MT. McGrath declar- ed he was not actually Irish consul. He said he had directed affairs since the resignation of Joseph Connolly a few months before but insisted he had resigned even that slight office the night O'Connor was executed.

ball rolling. The question uppermosI
 was whether the ownership of the
 bottle was not traceable to one of the senators
 One Alibi Already.
 Senator Curtis is not yet in a position to answer this. One alibi aI- ready has ben put forward-namely, that one of the oldest and best walters in the restaurant is subject to periodic spells of addiction to liquor. The Kansas senator. who is a dry leader, is determined to have this waiter fired If it should be ascertained that he owned the ill-fated bottle. What would be done should 1t develop that 1t belonged to a senator, or even to one of the men who vote consistently dry, has not yet been determined, and there is a possibility, of course, that the inquiry may not develop far enough to give chance for a public referendum.
 This was not the only liquor tragedy on Saturday. It is reported that an- other bottle dropped not far from the office of Representative Upshaw (Dem., Gal, who indulges in frequent and intensive phrillippics on the un- ethical conduct Of members of con gross who violate the dry code. He Is an out and out dry dry himself and no suspicion attaches to him.
 It may have been a. joke at the ex- pense of Mir. Upshaw--just by way of reminder that Scrooge is not quite as dead as a door nail. Anyhow there is no evidence that the bottle con- tained actual liquor."
 Representative Philip Campbell. chairman of the house rules commit tee and who also votes dry, has not yet decided what to do about the in cident in the house office building. It is indicated that he will not inves- tigate unless and until the house grants authority or issues mandate. He did not say whether he feared an inquiry might lead too far afield-but there are rumors which might justify caution.
