ARGUES AGAINST
 EVIL OF MORTGAGE
Blodgett Would Stamp Out 0Yer-
 loading Property

Hartford, Nov. 22.-At the hearing in tLf hall of the house of represen- taf3s@s in the capitol by the state board of equalization today there were two statements made that were par ticularly notable. One was by Fax Commissioner Wm. H. Blodgett a member of the board who presided, and the other by Dr. Wm. L. Higgins, Of Coventry, who has represented his town in the house and his district in the senate. Commissioner Blodgett denounced the practice of overload ing property with mortgages, some times up to the sixth mortgage and said that the practice should be stamped out. He described the prac- tice as barbarous, and said it should rot be tolerated, The best way to- eliminate the practice is to list the mortgages. he said.
 The discontinuance of the practice would bring about a healthy condi- ton in the real estate business.
 Dr. Higgins said that remedy for the trouble over equalization might be found in the creation of boards of touhhs dsotsSois UT peiHdps uiotiiS' assessors, each district representing a number of towns with the tax com- missioner as adjuster. There were one hundred and ten selectmen and as- sessors from 46 towns present. The invitation to the hearing was limited to towns whose grand lists do not ex- ceed s3.500,000 and who come within the State school grants.

SHADE DISAGREES
 WITH PARK BOARD Reported Dissatisfied With Re
 iuSal to Provide Seats

Principal l.. P. slade Of the Senior high school docs not agree with the policy of the park commission in re- fusing the school tho use of bleachers from Willow Brook park for the Hartford New Britain football game Saturday afternoon, and Park Com missioner w. r. Delaney does not agree with the decision of the school authorities that Memorial Field at Willow Brook park is not in good condition for an important game, but despite the difference of opinions be- tween the two branches of the city government, there will be no further communication between the parties on the subjects concerned, they say.
 Although a professional game has already been played on the field, the physical directors of the school say the playing field is muddy and not if for a big game. On that account they changed their original plans and will play at st. Mary's field.
 After announcing this decision, the school authorities asked for the use of bleachers and settees. Use was re- fused, the park board explaining that the cost of hauling is too high and the risk of breaknge too great.

WHY SHENANDOAH
 DELAYED JOURNEY
Weather Conditions Not ReSpon. Sible Adams Tells RotarianS

It was not the weather conditions which caused the delay and postpone ment of the last flight of the Shenan- doah, the navy airplane which sailed over New Britain Tuesday, according to Porter Adams, chairman of the
 Boston air board. but a rather aggra- vating coincidence which caused a | change in plans.
 The Shenandoah was about to be christened. She was in charge of the construction corps of the navy and an elaborate christening ceremony had been arranged. Just as Mrs. Denby was about to pull the cord which would release a flock of white doves, an official letter was received trans ferring the big ship to the regular na- val service and the party was off. It became necessary\then to train a new set of officers fly the big ship before it could start lon its trip. He said the weather had very little to do with, it, and added that at the end of the trip 1t entered the hangar in the midst of a 35 mile an hour gale.
 A letter was read by President Fred 0. Rackliffe from Fred Howe, presi- dent of the Ithaca. N. Y. Rotary club asking for names and addresses of all New Britain boys who are students at Cornell and whose fathers are Ro- tarians The Ithaca club will help make things pleasant for the local boys there.
 Theron w. Hart was congratulated on winning the Chicago Tribune con- test by composing Ashes of Roses" Mir. Hart promised to have the piece sung for the club at some future meeting
 It was voted to dispense with the regular meeting next week, on account Of Thanksgiving.
 Hartwell Taylor, George Christ and Howard Drummer were welcomed into membership by President Rackliffe.
 The next meeting will be December 6. It will be an all Rotary meeting. Arrangements are being made to serve a dinner of Pennsylvania scrap pie on that date. The scrapple will be made up on special order for the club by a farmer in the backwoods of Pennsylvania.

ARGUMENTS BEING HEARD
 ON CROSSINGS IN CITIES
Important Issues At stake in Case Ending Before q. $. Sue
 prcme Court

Washington, Nov. 22. -- Whether state railroad and utilities commis- sioner, or the interstate commerce commission has jurisdiction in the matter of railroad grade crossings in cities and the construction Of sta tions was argued today in the supreme court.
 The issues were presented in cases brought by the railroad commission Of California against the Southern Pacific. the Atchison and the Los Angeles and Salt Lake. The three roads had been ordered by the state commission 10 build a union station at Los Angeles and make certain crossing changes. but the state courts held that authority in the matter rested exclusively with the interstate commerce commission.
 The national association Of railway and utility commissioners and the regulatory commissions Of 2s states were permitted by the court 10 take part in the case.
 The national association. supporting the order of the California commits sion. insisted that state commissions could requirv railroads to abolish dangerous grade crossings. and that the order Tor erection Of a union sta- ton was made partly to enable the e abolition Of certain crossings.
 Counsel for the railroads insisted that enactment or the federal trans portstien act giving the interstate commission authority 10 determine the necessity for the con solidstion and joint use of terminal facilities had divested the states of jurisdiction.
