 B. Byrne
Dr.. Rarne, Apologies For The Out
 burst Of Mayor Phillips

State Bank Commissioner John E. Byrne of Putnam was subjected to ungentIemanly conduct at the Capitol, Hartford. Wednesday. when Mayor A. N. Phillips. Jr.. of Stamford. shook his fist in the face of Commissioner Byrne and roundly condemned the State Banking Commission.
 Excitement At Hearing
 This exciting thing happened at the conclusion of hearing before the State Banking Commission at the Cap itol or application for a charter for the proposed Peoples Trust Company of Stamford. when Mayor Phillips. an advocate of the new bank, threatened the members of the commission and accused them of being biased in the matter.
 As is customary, Bank Commission CT John B. Byrne had announced, af- ter all testimony in the application had been heard, that the matter would be considered by the commission and it's decision made within reasonable time.
 Mayor Speaks Hotly
 This brought Mayor Phillips to his feet with the statement that T have one more word to say in regard to this application. l demand that the application for charter be approved. If you refuse, you will all see the handwriting on the wall He shook his fist in the face of Bank Commis- sioner Byrne and charged the com mission with being biased in the mat ter and that it's decision had already been made to refuse the petition.
 Commissioner Byrne was confer ring with Comptroller Frederick NJ. Salmon at the time. The comptroller turned quickly to Mayor Phillips.
 "'I don't care whether you're a Re publican or q Democrat" he declared hotly, you can't talk to this com mission in that manner" Mayor Phillips hurriedly left the room.
 The mayors threat caused consider able excitement. There were about 90 people present in the room.
 Apologies For Mayor
 Dr. F. H. Barnes, who is slated to be president of the new bank if the charter IS granted. later apoiogized to Commissioner Byrne for the action of Mayor Phillips. He said that all those present felt that the commis- sion's attitude had been fair and im- partial and that insofar as the office of the bank commissioner was con eerned, they had been treated with every courtesy.
 His attitude is an insult to the commissioner" one of the stoekhold- CTS in the proposed bank said, follow ing the incident.

HART'S 5000 BAH.
 ORDERED FORFEITED
Judge Hinman Calls Surety In Case of Alleged Police
 Briber
Arrested Following Seizure of Beer
 Laden Truek.-Not In Court

When the case of State vs. Barrett C. Hart was called in the Superior court at Willimsntie on Tuesday, and Hart failed to appear. Judge George F. Hinman ordered his S3,000 bail forfeited Hart was charged with bribery in connection with the seizure last summer by the state police of 3 truekload of beer. The police allege that Hart offered Si00 cash to Officers Field and Keith of Danielson to re- lease the drivers and the truck and contents.
 Hart Acts For Others
 Judging by the actions of Hart fol- lowing the seizure of the truck and beer and by his subsequent conhdenc- es with local people, the 5000 put up by surety company to secure his re- lease from custody will not come out of his pocket as a result of his failure to appear in court. It is perfectly plain that Hart did not own the truck or beer, and that he was acting for others. but who they are is not known.
 Following the seizure of the truck south of Danielson, Hart, who was then stopping at the Biltmore, Provi- denee. came on and is alleged to have tried to secure the release of the driv- CTS. the truck and it's load of liquor, by making the alleged bribe to the of fcers. He was arrested on the spot.
 Waits For Surety
 For days and days he was held inI jail while he waited for arrangements to be completed for his release from custody. Eventually this came, but m the meantime Hart's friendship for whoever he had been acting for in the case was not sweetened atbit. His frank discussion of the situation with officers disclosed this state of mind.
 His present whereabouts are un- known to the authorities.

SENATOR STERLING
FAVORS INCREASE

WASHINGTON, April 12.-Senator
Sterling, chairman of the Senate
civil service committee. favors an in
crease of pensions to civil service
employees He plans to urge the next
session Of Congress that the maxi
mum annuity paid employees on re-
tirement be increased from $720-tbe
present figure-to 1850 or $1,000 a
year.
The minimum annuity would be
increased from $3.50 to $40. There
are two reasons why the amounts
should be increased, said Senator
Sterling. First, because the purchas-
ing power Of the dollar makes the
present figures inadequate; second,
because the retirement fund has de-
veloped and increased to an extent
far beyond the expectations of those
who fostered the act.
The law has been in operation
since August, 1920, and the fund Is
now something like $17O00.0O0. It
was expected that after the first year
or two the fund would amount only
to $8,000,000 or perhaps $10,0OO,00O.
Under the law all employees con-
tribute 21s per cent of their salaries
to the fund. But the maximum annu-
ity after 80 years service and reach
ing the age of retirement is $720, no
matter whether the employee has been
receiving $1,000 a year or $2,4O0.
Senator Sterling is considering hav-
ing the annuities correspond some
what with the size of the eontribu-
ton of. the employees.

publicity, OF We were conscious OF a
certain unrest among our men and
used certain health work as a patent
medicine"
DR.. Armstrong explained that this

strate the value Of health work from
an economic point OF view, but ere
ated a wrong attitude among the
workers. That is why welfare
work." he said, "has come to be
known in some circles as 'hellfare'

tions hampering health which do not
result in a mans stopping work en-

Fatigue, inattention, lack of con-

these. Men are irritated. even though

conditions.
"A healthy man likes to work. and
the man who likes his job does a
good job. The discontinued man is
the cause Of high turnover costs. It
is cheaper to keep good man, to
keep trained man, on his job than
to save money on light and air. Think
