ANNUAL MEETING OF
 ROTARY CLUB HELD
tcontinued From First pase) i.

in the work itself and told in the most emphatic and straight from the shoui- der way. No one can deny that Of the entire list of speakers, the ma jerity have stirred the hearts of New
 Britain Rotarians to the point where
 they felt--yes. they determined that
 they would be little more consider
 ate of the unfortunate and the un-
 privileged Your officers have tried to cover each phase of civic life. Of state departmental work and institu- tional methods not wholly with the idea that each Rotarian should par ticipate in such work but that he
 might have a more complete under standing of what these agencies were trying to accomplish and are doing.
 You will admit, as ] must, that certain speakers stand out clearly as men who are giving their thought and time in consideration of the other fellow, rather than for themselves.
 Dr. Barker in his forceful interpreta- ton of a fathers and mothers duty to their children. Walter Camp in his real belief in health first, then bust ness and pleasure, Edslsine in his wonderful work with boys at Cheshire, Dr. Fisher Miss Sandiford and Charlie Mills on boy and girl scouts, Bardo. Storrs and Henderson. Pun derford on business and its problems, George Tucker, Howes. Haviland. Titcomb and Blodgett on state de- partment work and institutional pro- cedure. From our own group, Judge" Gaffney, Stan Iciek, Stan Holmes, Jim Bush, on conditions here in the city. Davis, Parker and Mar shall on Rotary and it's application to every day business. And last and nearest to us Don Adams.
 All these have given us inspira- tion, help and desire to do little more for those that are working to make our city and state better place to live in.
 Our accomplishments your secre- tary will outline more in detail. Your officers feel as Don Adams so well expressed at the Wallingford meet ing, that the first year or two should be spent in bringing men close to- gether, that the Rotary club was not designed so much to be the doing organization of the community, as the group of men that teach each in- dividual to consider the community as a responsibility and make each as a Rotarian willing to assume his share of the duty towards his fellow being, his city and his country. l hope our progress this last year will have shown this to each one of you. Ro tary has done many men in this club much good. It has brought out the real feelings, the genuineness of the easiness of approach, one to the other, and most important, a willingness to consider the next man in little truer light than before.
 Attendance has been theme for each meeting. not the school boy com- pulsion, but the knowledge that | through regular attendance men come to know each other better and in | that knowledge.

we were represented by three delegates at the Los Angeles conven- tion---at the fall conclave in New Lon- don. IS Rotarians were present and at the spring conference in New Haven, 16 men were able to be pres ent at some time during the confer ence.
 There isn't any question but the true Rotary spirit is fast gaining a foothold in the hearts of our men. Our civic activities were greater this year than they were last and as the club continues to grow in numbers, it will also grow in spirit It's value to the community and to the men them selves, will materially increase as time goes on.''

Harding Interested.

Washington, April 19.-In ths course of the governments investga- . ton it became known President Harding and Assistant Attorney Gen. eral Seymour have been in repeated telephone conversation with Mir. Daugherty in Ashville Officials here would not discuss in detail the possi- bifity of criminal action against those held responsible for the presen price levels.
 The attorney generals bill declares that as result of fictitious transac- tions the price of raw sugar and the price of refined sugar to the con- sumer has been increased since Feb- ruary on an average of more than $2 per hundredweight; that these operations were carried on for the purpose and with the intent of un- duly enhancing prices and that unless the court intervenes new fictitious levels will be forced in the future.
 The alleged conspiracy was de- clared in violation of the sherman antitrust law and other statutes of the federal government and contrary to the public policy of the United States as well as harmful to the in terests of the people.

DRASTIC FEDERAL
 ACTION IS TAKEN
(Continued From First Page).
Stocks Hard Hit.


 Stocks of sugar companies listed on the New York stock exchange were hit by news of the injunction suit. They had started off with an advance of to l 5s points in early trading, but when word of the suit reached the floor, they dropped 1 10 nearly 3 points from their early highs.
 Cuba cane sugar preferred dropped 2$a points, Cuban American and Man ati 26 each, Punta Alegre 24, South Porto Rican and American beet sugar 1.
 s Prosecutors Statement. z United States Attorney Hayward, who was in charge locally of the in- ! yestigation which resulted in the suit, characterized the procedure as "a < united effort on the part of federal 2 officials to make the gamblers in su- { gar remove the roulette wheel from the American breakfast table" < A checkup on the hectic trading in futures showed the tumble ranged from 50 to S9 points. The drop was . followed by rally of 21 to 57 points, bringing prices within 19 to 30 points of the days high.
 Every increase of one cent in the price of sugar, artificially stimulated by these defendants in their specula- : tions has cost and is costing the Am erican people s2,0OO,00O a week" Mir < Hayward asserted. The theory of government in this suit is the logical development of the Sherman law, the Wilson act and the decisions the U. S. supreme court handed down Monday in the Totten corner case and the grain futures case"
 It was said at Mir. Hayward's office that there is every indication that the supply of sugar is normal and that the demand is also normal for the present time of the year. Only the price is abnormal it was asserted and there is no sign of a shortage of sugar.
