Divided Sentiment on New Schedule.

Divided Sentiment on New Schedule.
The new schedule, which will be IN
effect during the latter half of this year,
has met with strong opposition on the
part of some of the students. However
the reason may be that the students little
realize what great many advantages
this new schedule affords. Primarily 1t
enables a student who has not passed a
subject satisfactorily the first half year
to repeat the first half years work before
fruitl6ssly attempting to pass the last
half year.
Under this new plan several of the
teachers have different classes. All of
these changes have met the approva! of
the students except English ", previously
under Mr.. Caverly. many of the pupils
in this class disliking to change teachers
unnecessarily at mid-year. With this one
exception the plan is one that the school
has had need of for a long time. '

Dr. Howland's Friend
 Is Most Belligerent

Arrested last night on a charge of drunkeness when he was found lying in the gutter on Housatonic avenue, David Becker was arraigned in the city court this morning and fined S1O. When arrested a quantity of scissors of various sizes were found in his clothes and it was at first thought that he had stolen them. Investigation by the detective department however proved that Becker was a salesman for Milford factory where the shears are manufactured.
 According to the testimony given in court, Becker became very abusive when arrested, telling the officer who made the arrest that he was a friend of Dr. Rowland of Stratford and then attempting to punch him in the face. It was at this juncture that the off cer decided to lock him up.

Playful Massaro
 Wounds Friend
 With Big Axe

Jenaro Massaro, of 1894 Madison avenue, believes in being serious while he is at play. MasSaro, on Saturday y night, invited in a most cordial man. ner, his friend. Tony Desillio. of 510 Birmingham street, to dine at his home.
 Desillio accepted the invitation and after the two men had drunk and eaten heartily. Massaro is said to have announced his intention of killing his guest with an axe Desillio laughed at the threat because he believed that the other man was merely joking.
 Massaro, however, made good his intention by picking up an ugly axe, which was exhibited in court this morning, and swinging at Desil1io's S head. As Desillio dodged, the blade of the axe sank into the back of his neck. The injury was not serious and was treated at the Emergency hospital.
 The axe-man was arrested last night and later released in bonds of $50. This morning. Judge William B. Roardman in the City Court, con- tinued the case until July 25.

Study of the complicated situation has convinced government officials that the menace of a coal famine can be got around if the problem of trans porting the coal, once it is mined, can be met.
 The non-union fields are capable of producing approximately five mill lion tons weekly. By speeding up production methods to the limit it is figured that this amount can be in creased to seven million tons, as against the estimated weekly con- sumption of about nine million tons. The volunteer mining in union terri tory, under troops protection, is ex- pected to make up for the balance.
 Therefore, according to members Of the cabinet the question is one almost wholly of transportation. And this will be met, they asserted with er1- phasis today, by the Federal govern ment assuming a sort of general dic- tatorship over the railroads of ths country.
 Should this become necessary-and tomorrow cabinet meeting is expect ed to decide whether it will be or not the Interstate Commerce Commis- sion will become a miniature railroad administration. It will have the duty to pool the nations transportation, to direct common use of terminals, to shift cars, from one road to another. to decide through it's control of cars

Hinman, F. DOOlan, B. B1aKes- lee, E. Sa abine V. Wardeu and Officer Frank Manion of the Derby po1joA department.
 The agents had information to the effect that KindIe was operating a still, and upon searching the house found no evidence of any like opera ton. When they entered the house it was deserted and they went through the fields and woodland near the house looking for Kindle. They found him moving nav. About a half mile away some of the other agents, who had taken another route found two 10-gaIIon stills in opera ton, and Mrs. kindle in charge. Nearby they found 200 gallons of mash, 50 pounds of sugar, 1 F pounds of yeast and a quantity Of finished product.
 Kindle was arrested and brought before United States Marshall Ber- nard Lynch of New Haven, who bound him over until the next term of the United States Court.
