TALK over WHAT'S
WRONG With ROAD
President Pearson and Legislative
Committee Confer

Hartford, March 22.--Members OF
the general assembly today were in
tensely interested In trying to find
out what happened In the committee
on railroads yesterday afternoon
when President e. j. Pearson OF the
N. Y. N. II. and II. railroad was be-
fore 1t for nearly two and half
hours.
Heart to Heart Talk.
1t is understood that the commit
tee asked the president to make a
frank "heart-to-heart" statement as
to conditions on the system in Con-
necticut; not on the financial or sta
tistica side; not to make repetition
OF facts which are well known; but
to tell why the company has lost
the confidence of the public" as re-
peatedly asserted at the hearings.
1t Is understood that President
Pearson said that efforts are being
made to get back that confidence.
The committee is understood to have
put stream Of questions to Presi-
dent Pearson and then afterwards,
through Senator DePeyster and Rep
resentative Durham, the two chair
men, to have called Mr.. Pearson's at
tention in detail to incidents and con-
ditions developed in the hearings on
the Durham resolution to investigate
service on the road, which seemed to
require remedies.
Seek Personal Touch.
One point made by the committee,
1t was said, was that the company in
recent years has lost personal touch
with its patrons in its administrative
relations. President Pearson is said
to have stated that this was one of
the things that the present manage
ment is trying to do, to get on init
mate relations with its patrons and
those who do business with It
1t is recalled that at one, hearing
Public Utilities Commissioner Elwell
said that he did not like the present
administrative way of dealing with
employees. the riding public and the
shippers and declared for the former
policy of smaller divisions through
which the superintendent came into
contact with subordinates and those
using the road. He emphasized the
personal relationship as factor in
successful operations when he was an
operating official of the road.
No Report Is Ready.
1t is not known whether the COM
mittee specifically mentioned such
instances as these, brought out at the
hearings or not but considerable was
said about personal relations during
the session with President Pearson.
No information was cleaned as to
whether or not any reference was
made to the shipments strike on the
road but the irritation felt by the
legislators over lateN legislative trains
and poor service was specifically |
talked over.
The committee has not got to the
point Of formulating report on the
Durham resolution.

modern BUSSES
TO BE USED HERE
Owners Of Three Biggest Lines
Plan Improved Service in City

New Britain will have modern ur
mer according to an agreement
reached by owners of three OF the
largest buss lines in the city. Peter
Agostino. owner OF the Arch street
line, Is the prime mover in plan to
advance New Britain jitney service to
the front ranks of efficiency.
Following conference between Mr..
Agostino. Anthony Wallek. OF the Oak
street line. Mrs. Helen Mutter and
Dominic Soccoly, of the Chapman
street line, 1t has been decided to
on each OF these three lines and to add
on each of these three Inns and to add
to the equipment as rapidly as pos
sible. Other jtney lines In the city
will be asked to follow suit
Three buses to cost between SIS, 900
and $4,000 each have been ordered
from the General Motors Co., and will
be here In about four weeks. They
are much heavier car, built on a
two ton chassis and will have carry
ing capacities of 25 passengers each.
The body will be of the Patterson
style, having cross seats as well as
those running lengthwise.
The cars will be slightly lower than
those now In use and will have double
tired wheels In the rear. They will
he equipped with the latest shock OBJ
sorbers and will be attractively con-
structed inside and outside.
The seats will be leather covered.
The drivers compartments will be
enclosed and the cars will be equipped
with emergency side doors. So as to
eliminate the custom of paying fares
to drivers while the cars are in mo-
ton, fare boxes will be installed in
the new buses. N
In case the cars prove successful
the purchase of others of the same
type will follow rapidly.
1--WE are Aping to show the people
Of New Britain that the jitney bust
ness is here to stay and we can give
our passengers the very best service
they have a right to expect. We have
decided to discontinue as rapidly as
possible the use of the old cars we are
now using" AgostinS said.
Agostino is thinking of applying for
The Hart street line this summer, run
ming from the Center to Hart street
and Corbin avenue by way of Walnut
and Camp streets, and is considering
4 suggestion that he apply for a per-
nit to run down Corbin avenue to the
terminus of his Arch street line on
Shuttle Meadow avenue, making
complete belt line route, with buses
coming and going in both directions.

last August to continue the COM
munist party as an illegal under

Under cross examination by Frank

described how the radical left wing
and the more conservative right, held
separate caucuses when the conven-
ton met to determine their course OF
action. The left wing meeting was
dubbed the goose caucus and the
right called itself the ''liquidators"
because it favored liquidating the H.
legal party organization.

44-hour week. II was subject OF
debate. Senator Allen chairman of
the committee of labor in reporting

said, "his work becomes moro and
moro monotonous and in time II
causes injury"
THE 4S-hour week has become
social necessity. The women who are
to become the mothers of the futurc

a week"
Senator Tone also said that Ameri-
can labor was cheapest IN the world
for what it actually produces.
At the conclusion of speech Sena-
tor Tone got roll call ordered.

nounced that the report was on the
AZ hour bill which caused Senator

port while Senator Tone alone OPP
posed it.

VIOLIN RECITAL
DELIGHTS CROWD
CARL CLAUS BRILLIANT BEFORE
APPRECIATIVE AUDIENCE In
UNIVERSITY AUDITORIUM.

| Some 700 Moscow and University oi
Idaho people are grateful to Carl
Claus for his violin recital in the uni
versity auditorium last night Mr.
Claus proved himself an artist of the
highest type and it is to be hoped
that he will appear again. The recital
was the musical feature of the col
lege year.
A musical criticism is out of the
question and praise lis inadequate.
The genuine appreciation of the audi
ence is mute testimony of the power
of the university violinist The audi
ence left with sense of Indebtedness
to Mr. Claus.
In his first number Mr. Claus had
opportunity to display his marvellous
technique and for the rest of the we'll
planned program his hearers settled
back in quiet enjoyment, troubled only
by the realization that the recital had
ended all too soon. The well known
Song of India" and the Cradle
Song (Shubert-Elman) were favor
ties. In the latter number Mr.. Claus
was at his best and he responded to
an insistent demand for an encore.
Generous With Encores.
Serenade (Drdla) was favorite
of the third group and Mr.. Claus
made of Wieniawski's Legende a
vividly dramatic story. In the "Sou-
venir de Haydn" Ueonard) Mr. Claus
combined brilliancy,. tone and finished
technique. A counter melody de-
lighted the audience in this number.
For encores Mr.. Claus played what
his audience wanted to hear, the we'll
known Souvenir and "Humore-
sque."
Mrs. Florence r. Sharp was de-
lightful as accompanist, the piano fur
nishing an entirely pleasing back
ground for the violin. Mr. Claus is
instructor of the violin in the Uni
versity of Idaho department of music
and Mrs. Sharp is head of the depart
ment of the piano.
