szogRs LAYING CONTEST

The hens in the egg laying contest at Storrs laid 375i eggs or a gleid of 5S.6 per cent for the thirty-ffth week of tho contest. This is an increase cf 9l eggs Ipore than last week and 9 eggs more than last year for the same period. There were 43 Rocks out of total of z6o that did not lay an egg during the week. Out of the 100 Wyandottes entered i9 per cent of them did not lay. but of the 240 Rhode Island Reds 55 birls or 2z.s per cent failed to increase the egg bas- ket during the week and 1e.2 per cent. of the Leghorns or a total of IT birds out of the 400 kept pace with the other 117 birds This makes grand tctai of 1s5 birds that did not lay an egg during the thirty-fifth week. Without question many of these birds were s.acberss and on commercial poultry farms could have been eliminated from the flocG. Had this been possible at Storrs the per cent of production for the week would have 1 been about 67 per cent. This would l have been an increase of l4 per cent 1 over the present total.
 The honors for the week were dIstrib. l uted among the Leghorns, wyandottei and Rhode Island Reds. George B. Fer ris' White Leghorns from Grand Rani6s Mich, were first with total production lof 5s eggs for the week. Harry D. fms mons White Wyandottes from Plymouth

 Seven years later MT. McNeil pur- chased the Frank Miller Coal Go, forming the Archibald McNeil & Sons Co, which included his three sons, K. W. McNeil, Archibald McNeil, Jr. and R. c. McNeil. It was at this time that the McNeils began to serve the public regularly at retail with anthracite coal. Purity coal as it became popularly known, was famous for it's clean quality and honest weight as many of the older residents will recall. New York city where it engaged in an export and a wholesale bitumin- ous coal business of world wide pro- portion and in so doing established Bridgeport in 1916. The local con- cern is headed by Kenneth w. Mc- Neil and managed by R. c. McNeil, and the company is direct descen- dent of the old original Archibald McNeil concern. In fact MT. Nc Neil, Sr., is still in an important ad- visory capacity and it was he who in reality urged the present reduction 10 benefit the people and aid in the price lowering of commodities, a con- dition which faces the nation and must be met on all sides eventually. This concern was also the first to re- duce prices last Spring and through out its career has shown a tendency to assist its patrons and the public in general
 There is great deal of unen- ployment throughout the city and every reduction of this sort is real help. Independent dealers such as the Karm Terminal, in other lines, are likewise effectng reductions in retail prices and it is such moves that will return business to its normal pro- portions.

 GREAT ACT OF 1902
Reduction to $13.5O In the Price of Coal Recalls to Mind the Great Charitable Act of Archibald McNeil Sr.. During Strike of 1902

The present reduction in coal prices by the Karm Terminal Go, indepen- dent dealers. from S14.50 to $13.50 ton, while members of the dealers association declare that no reduction is likely to be made by them prior | April l, brings to mind an incident of 20 years ago in which Archibald McNeil figured prOminen ntly in the re- lief of a very serious coal situation in Bridgeport.
 It was during the fall Of 1902 that the nation was gripPed in a miners strike No hard coal was being mined and the local supply was entirely eN- haused. The condition became eN- hausted The condition became eX- s treme causing great alarm when . Archibald McNeil, Sr., wholesale dealer in bituminous coal, stopped into the gap and offered a cargo of soft coal for public sale and con-
 So greatly in need of fuel were the people of Brid dgeport that this an- nouncement caused ariot at the dock where the boat load was landed. Thousands of persons crowded the vicinity, women Tainted in the crush ing waves of humanity which surged forward for a portion of this priceless stuff Mir. McNeil had so philanthro- pically supplied at cost. The situa- tion was rendered so untractable that a reserve force of police was called out headed by the late SuDt.

CARPENTER PARIS
 FIGHT FAVORITE

Paris, Jan. 12-The French press generally expresses regret that Georges Carpenter has agreed to meet George Cook, the Australian, in a box ing contest in London tonight. The newspapers are showing very little in terest in the fight beyond pointing out that it will be a possible means of ascertaining whether the beating ad- nninistered last summer by Jack Dempsey has slowed up the French man.
 unless Carpenter wins inside of six rounds the fight will be considered a virtual defeat for the French fighte-- Carpenter is the favorite in the bet ting by or to 1.

HOUSE PASSES
RIPPER BILL
Bitter FightOn Custer of State
Bridge and Tunnel Com
mission

TRENTON. March 1.-THE Re
publican ripper bilr' ousting the
present Bridge and Tunnel Commits
sion. and naming another by legis-
lative enactment. was jammed
through the assembly last night af-
ter a bitter fight with the Democrats.
Three Republicans, Mrs. Laird, Es-
sex; Franklin, Essex, and Barkman,
Morris, voted with the fifteen Demo-
Gratis. The vote was 41-1S. ~ COM
panion bill giving the new commits
sion authority to vacate streets in
Jersey City needed for the improve
ment, mustered forty-three Republic
can votes. Mrs. Laird voted with
the fifteen Democrats of the House
on this bill also. Menninger, Re-
publican, was not recorded on either
bill.
Supporting his custer bills, which
are committee substitutes for the
original custer bill, Leader Evans,
Of Passaic, confined his attack on
the present commission to r. Albeus
Adams, head of the board, reading
from the affidavit of a New York
man statements tending to implicate
him in real estate deals IN the land
near the entrance to proposed .tun-
mel in Jersey City. Repeated at
tempts by Minority Leader Gaede,
of Hudson, to get a hearing for Mr..
Adams, who was on the floor of the
House, proved futile.
II am not and never have been
personally interested in any real
estate in Jersey City," he says and
adds, neither myself nor n of
my friends or relatives have ever
purchased property to sell to the
tunnel commission, or which could
be used consistently or advantage
eously by them for the purposes of
the tunnel"
The second bill, giving the COM
mission condemnation powers,
Evans was frank to say was to take
care of an alleged threat of Mayor
Frank Hague, Jersey City Democrat,
to tie up the work if the custer
went through.
A feature of the main custer bill
is its failure to provide for filling
vacancies. This means hat If MI.
Boyle, who is expected to refuse to
serve after the custer of his col
leagues. does SO, there will be four
Republicans and three Democrats.
The personnel of the commission
is as announced before, with the ex-
ception of Judge Clarence T.. Cole,
of Atlantic City. who is dropped in
favor of Frank l.. Supplee, of Glou-
lester county.

OPPOSITION To
LYONS BILL
Hearing on Insurance Meas
ure Brings Opposition From
Several Big Companies

TRENTON, March 7:-Whether
or not New Jersey life insurance
companies are doing all they can TO
alleviate the housing shortage by
loaninS money on mortgages was
the bone of contention at a hearing
held here yesterday by the House
committee on banking and insur-
ance. The particular subject of dis
cussion was House bill No. AIS, in
troduced by Assemblyman Lyons, of
Middlesex county. 1t would require
the companies to invest fifty per
cent of their reserves or surplus
funds on first mortgage loans on
property in this state as a means of
inducing the building of dwellings.
Spirited opposition to the measure
was presented by Alfred Hurrell,
and Edward ID. Dumend, vice presi-
dents of the Prudential Insurance
Company, and f.. T.. Rhodes, an
official of the Mutual Benefit Life
Insurance Company of Newark. Job
Hedges. of New York, counsel for
the Association of Life Insurance
Company Presidents, also registered
objection for that measure. The
bill would make these. investments
Warren, of Jersey City. objected to
it's stringent features. He wanted
the companies given the discretion
of investing their funds in municipal
bonds and that the act should give
them more time in which to read
just their finances to meet it's re-
quirementS. The time fixed for the
new arrangement Of Investments is
July 1 next, by the terms of the
bill. |
Speakers for the bill were i. !
Randolph Woodruff, a lawyer who
said he represented trade union |
bodies of Essex county; r. r. Gaff-
ney, Of Union Hill. for similar bodies
and the Jersey City Chamber of
Commerce; Arthur A. Quinn, presi-
dent of the State Federation of
Labor, and DIR. w. G. Hanrahan, for
the Rent Payers Association Of New
ark.
There was much oratory spilled
by the proponents about this being
a measure in the interests Of the
workingman and those who are suf-
at the hands of the rent
profteers. MI. Untermeyer and the
New York insurance investigation
received considerable comment.
Mr.. Hurrell made a forceful plea
for the insurance companies. He
aid that the two necessary elements
o be desired in their operations are
's%olvency and safety" He declared
policyholders are not asking for
change in the system of invest
ng their money He also said that
many policyholders as individuals
ire borrowing the reserve funds now
hat the companies are COM
'elled to loan to these borrowers
