 Dr. Walter Rathenau was styled the wizard of the German empire'' because, by his high powers of or ganfzation and business efficiency, he devised expedients which kept the people eating and the army shooting '' when the blockade had shut off the importation of raw materials during the war.
 After the war. as minister of recon struction, his meetings with the French minister. Louis Loucheur, brought about with business like di- rectness adjustments and accommo- dations which had been the dfspair of diplomats.

 It may be said, aside from the re- port of MT. Cortright, that the present High school day of some four and one-half hours, is a pure accident of overcrowding. It was originally un- der the rules a seven period school.

No Criminal Fault
 In isher's Death

Coroner John J. Phelan issued to- day his finding on the death ot John Fisher, 30, of Danbury. Fisher died in Danbury hospital as the result of an injury receied while riding in an automobile operated by him and own ed by John Wochek, which was struck by a trolley car operated by Motorman Raymond Hurhke at Wyder crossing June 19.
 The coroner finds that heavy fog prevailed and that miscalculation as to the distance by both the driver of the automobile and the motorman of the trolley cay caused the acci- dent.
 In view of the weather conditions and acting on the sworn though er- roneouS beliefs of both men the cor oner declares that the deceased came to his death accidentally and that no criminal responsibility is at tached to either the driver of the automobile or the motorman of the trolley car.

No Return from E1ba, !" Declares L e a d II g Manufacturer, as He Throws Hat into Poli- tical Ring.

George M. Eames, leading manufacturer, leader in the Republican Voters League, throws his hat into tine ring to- day, and announces that there shall be for John T. King, late Republican leader, no return from Elba.
 Flames rebukes King, for the attack which he made on Bridgeport factories. Flames denies that factories do not pay their share of taxes. They pay 800 per cent more to the city than they did in 1911, and heavy taxes to state and fed eral governments, he says.
 Flames charges that the forS mer leadership of King is re sponsible for raising the cost of running the city 400 per cent, in ten years, a period in which population increased only 40 per cent and cost of living 100 per cent. MT. Eames' statement follows:

 To date, my opinion has not been asked by the Board on any of these nor have I any recommendations be- fore the Board covering them. The first two have been under discussion since last November and recommen- dations were made to the Board GOV ering them by Supt. Slawson last January. I intended to state the sub stance of the following at the last meeting should the matter have been brought to a vote.
 Purpose of Longer Day.
 In the matter of the heightened day for grammar schools, one can hardly have an opinion either in favor or against, until the question of how the added time is to be used is answered. For myself, if the added time is simply to teach more academic subject mat ter. l should be opposed.
