PREPARING FOR THE
 SOUTHERN PACIFIC co,

Washington, July 3l.-Execution of the supreme court order requiring the Southern Pacific company to divest it. self of ownership and control of the Central Pacific railway, would give re- troactive effeat to the sherman anti trust law and create a new and un- tried condition" in the management of the two roads. according to a brief filed today in support of a petition for a re- hearing Of the case.
 Joint control and operation of the Southern and Central Pacific properties counsel for the defendants contended had been in effect long before the law was enacted under which the legality oi such control finally was attacked.
 Not only were the two roads built operated and controlled by the same persons" but the Southern Pacific wat 'constructed as a continuation" of tht lines of the Central Pacific, and "to pre- vent duplication" counsel argued, add ing that the builders proceeded upor the assumption that the lines would b' operated together and through the fifty years of their existence the properties have never been other than a unified whole, made up of integral parts whicf were the outcome of a normal natura growth"

CHARLES F. WELLS HEADS
 HOME SERVICE DEPARTMENT

Charles F. Wells, manager of the United Metals company, and president of the Norwich chamber of commerce, has been appointed chairman of the home service department of the local chapter of the American Red Cross MT. Wells succeeds the late pr. John s. Blacknar, who held the office for several years past.
 It is the policy of the American Red Cross to carry on it's peace time work as far as possible, through existing agen- cies that duplication of effort may be avoided. In accordance with this policy, home service work in Norwich, though financed and directed by the Red Cross, is being administered by the family wei fare department of the United Workers, just as tuberculosis clinical and nursing work is done for the tuberculosis com mittee by the public health nursing de- partment.
 With the war nearly four years past, 1t might seem that the service which the Red Cross can render the veteran and his family should long since have end ed; on the contrary, the work Is still in creasing, though the character of 1t has largely changed from material aid to clerical. The greater part of the work is themaking out of compensation claims which require a large amount of detailed lnrOrmaLlon. Ihere are cases or allOL- ment or insurance or bonus not received, and cases of pensions or compensation for the relatives of men who have died | since their discharge from the service. | There are cases for which state aid ] must be procured, and cases of transient ex-service men needing lodging or meal or temporary loan.
 The work of the local chapter would
 show steady decrease but for the fact that two state institutions are within
 our territory. In the state hospital for | the insane and the state sanatorium | there are fifty ex-service men from diff
 ferent parts of Connecticut who are
 paying the toll of war in shell shock
 and tuberculosis. Home service offices
 all over the state keep In touch with these men through the Norwich chapter and our obligation to them is one that cannot be denied and must not be for gotten.
 The executive committee feels keer regret at the death of Dr. John s 1 Blackmar, who has been a most efficient chairman of home service.

PUBLIC SERVICE CAR
 DRIVER IS FINED

Joseph Hoffs. well known as a public service car driver, was fined $5 in the New London city court Monday for talk ing Norwich bound passenger from Abe Davidson. another public service driver, at New London. Hoffs was ar rested for violation of the city ordi- nance regulating jitneys and forbidding soliciting patronage outside certain linn it's, at the public stand at the Union station in New London. Hoffs is alleged to have taken a passenger away from Abe Davidson. by taking hold of the passengers arm, as he was getting into Davidson's car, and urging the passen- ger to get into his car. The result was that Hoffs got the job of taking the pas senger to Norwich.
 Hoffs stated that three jitney drivers were standing in a group at one end of the station platform when the passenger stepped up to them and asked if he could be taken to Norwich. All three men sought the job and the passenger is alleged to have been about to step into Davidson's car when HofHs, according to testimony offered by Leon Dellillo took the passenger by the arm and landed him. Hoffs was fined S6.

NORWICH WILL HAVE II
 DELEGATES AT CONVENTION

The balance of power in the demo- cratic state convention in September will be held by the small towns. Not withstanding an increase of 125 dele gates entitled to attend, most of whom will come from the cities, the towns will have 4SS of the 7Ts delegates that will make up the convention. This is reveal ed by a computation of the delegate strength of each town and city in the state prepared by the democratic state central committee.
 New Haven will send the largest dele gation to the convention, being entitled to forty-four votes. Hartford, with for ty-one. will be second in delegate strength, followed by Bridgeport with
 thirty-seven and Waterbury twenty five. These cities of the Big Four gained seventy-one delegates by reason of the big gain in the votes they cast in the presidential election of two years ago. The great majority of the aggre- gate of gains made was due to the ad- | mission of women voters, for the first l time. Hartford had only twenty votes 1 in the state conventions of 1920. New Haven had 24 and Bridgeport nineteen. It is because of the democratic plan i of representation, which allows a town or city, twice as many delegates as it hdS IepTesehtdtlVeS Tn the general as
 sembly and one additional delegate for each 1000 votes cast in that town in | the last state election. that the state | convention this year will have ITS dele gates, as compared to 654 two years ago

AzAR HELD FOR CRIMINAL COURT

in Jewett City and the ring was found on him
 In court Monday morning Agar denied the charge. His side of the story was that after he had tried the ring on his finger he placed 1t back on the show case. When he arrived at Jewett City he discovered that the child had the ring and took / it from her intending to re- turn it to the jeweler Monday Agar said that in his opinion the ring must have fallen to the ofior after he placed it on the show case and that the child picked it up.
 Azars wife and daughter testified in his behalf. The ring, which is now in the safe at the police station, is said to be valued at $500 and to be over half carat in size. Attorney Thomas M Shields appeared for Agar and Attorney T. J. Kelly aided the state.

MANY GROUSE IN
 CONNECTICUT WOODS

Supt. John W. Titcomb of the fish and game commission states that there would be an abundance of grouse in the woods of the state for the hunting season which begins Oct and ends Nov. 23. Owing to the rainy weather there might be a scarcity of pheasants. MT Titcomb add ed that there were few Hungarian par tridges left in the state. From what he said it was evident that the efforts to propagate these cartridges have not been successful They were first imported into this state in the hope they would become acclimated some years ago during the administration of the old fish aIfd game commission of three which preceded the commission made up of one from each county that was legislated out of exist ence at the session of 1921. MT. Titcomb said further that the failure of Connecti- cut to propagate this partridge is the ex- perience of other states and that the mat ter is receiving the arSention of the fish and game officials whose field of activity takes in the entire country.
 The law restricts the number of grouse which may be shot in one day to three, and to 21 for the entire season.

DON'T EXPECT HARD
 COAL FOR ANOTHER MONTH

One of the first orders issued by Gov ernor Lake in connection with the dis tribution of coal in a preferential man ner, was issued Monday at the re- quest of the 2. H. and A. H. Chappell company of New London, authorizing the Pocahontas Coal Co. and the Spring Coal Co. of New York to ship coal on government contracts to New London.
 This is in line with the. announced policy of the federals plan for distribution of coal for so long as there appears to be any danger of a shortage.
 So far as the individual householder is concerned, the coal situation remains the same as it has for weeks. There Is no egg, stove or nut sizes in the market and only a small amount of pea coal. The soft coal is coming in fairly well but the price has stiffened a bit.
 Dealers are not expecting to receive any hard coal for households before an other month and possibly six weeks.
