 Eastern New York: Fair tonight; warmer in north portion; Saturday partly cloudy; gentle variable winds. becoming southerly.
 Conditions: The disturbance which passed down the St. Lawrence valley yesterday caused thunder storms in the afternoon in the eastern portion of the Lake region and New England. It is followed by an area of high pressure which is producing pleasant weather with little humidity and brisk westerly winds in central and eastern sections. The tempera- ture is slightly lower along the northern border than 1t was yester- day. White River, Ontario, reported a minimum temperature of 32 de- grees.

WEST END JITNEYS.

The necessity for a iitney route in the west end has been favorably brought 10 the attention of C. E. Elwell of the public utilities com mission, and it is reasonable to sup pose he has been impressed with the advisability of new route.
 In the event of permission to es- tablish such route, the question then arises, who will obtain the franchise?
 There are first class competent iit- neurs in New Britain who have the confidence of the public. They give good service at low rates. One Of these should obtain the franchise.
 The Connecticut Co should not be given the franchise and should not even be considered as contender for the franchise.
 New Britain does not want iitneys operated by the Connecticut Co. II has failed to give good service at high fares and arbitrarily discontn- ued the Arch street trolley line. The Connecticut Co. cares nothing abont New Britain except to exploit trans portation possibilities and prevent others from giving better service al lower rates. New Britain reciprocates by caring very little about the Con- neeticut Co.
 If there is to be west eri iitney, let an independent New Britain jit- neur receive the franchise.

DEAD? NOT AT ALL.

Waterbury, July 11--Arthur Wrogg who yesterday was officially reported as dead, due to fall from the side walk into an excavation for a cellar, was in police court here today, charged with breach of the> peace having been arrested in Naugatuck last night on complaint of his wife. The case was continued until tomor- row. Wrogg's supposed death was case of mistaken identity. After the accident victim had been errone- ously identified as Wrogg, the cor rect identification, that of George Fitzgerald, was established. Wroggs arrest, in Naugatuck, came about when a police officer heard him tell ing some friends that he was the man reported as dead in Waterbury, news papers of last evening.

Automatic train control has been a bone of contention among railroads and after considerable objections against the orders of the interstate commerce commission start is be- ing made with the system. This comes at an opportune time, following sev- eral severe wrecks recently which many believe could have been pre- vented with an automatic control de- vice. Strange to say, the rich eastern roads have been the most serious ob- iectors to the control device, eastern managers evidently thinking their roads were operated sufficiently well to avoid wrecks without automatic preventatives. The three roads which will make a start with the device are the Southern railway, the Atlantic Coast line, and the Chicago and Northwestern.

THE WATER SYSTEM.

Description Of New Briiain's water service given by W, l.. Hatch, chair. man of the water board. at Rotary club meeting, served 10 stress the workings of an important munici. pal function and gave citizens an inkling of its tasks and achievements which too commonly is taken foi granted and scarcely appreciated.
 Mir. Hatch likewise informed his hearers that the rate paid by do- nestle consumers Is much lower than in most other cities and that several thousand consumers pay less { han they did Is years ago, before me- ters were installed. The water board believes, he said. that the charges should be revised and made more Equitable, and suggested serv- fee charge.
 The service charge, he declared. would be applied to small consumers of water for whom pipes and meters must be maintained as well as for the large consumers.
 If the water board can arrange service charge that would be equitable for all consumers the plan would have some chance of being seriously considered by the city government. A service charge for small consumers only is an idea that is opposed by the small consumers, who form the vast majority of citi- zens.
 These small consumers, knowing that the water system is municipal property and consequently their property. in greater proportion than any other class. do not want serv- ice charge that is only charged to the small consumers. Their opinion is that if water is being sold below cost and it is found necessary to raise the cost to consumers, that all consumers should be treated equally.
 The theory that municipal enter prise should charge itself interest on the investment, as is the case in pri- vate enterprises, is debatable. If the postal department of the government did that, letters probably would not pass through the mails for a paltry two cents; interest on the investment in school buildings is not consider ed as part of the costs of education; interest on the market value of park lands not considered as part of the cost of parks. A difference ip bookkeeping Is one of the funda- mental differences between municipal and private ownership.
 A service charge by the water de- partment, based on the plant invest ment--if not the cost of duplicating 1t, which is customary--and with de- preciation charges, all loaded upon the small consumers exclusively, would cause such furore as the city has never seen.
 The furore will never come, how ever; an uneauitable, one-sided serv- Ice charge will not be permitted In New Britain.

BRICKS AND TEETOTALISM
Bishop of London Tells of Cause o
 Being Led Into Prohibition Fold

London, July 11.--Brickb were the chief cause of the conversion to teetotalism of the Bishop of London, this prelate said recently at a public gathering.
 T was led to become teetotaler in a fit of youthful enthusiasm 40 years ago." the bishop declared, be cause l saw brickbats being hurled at women trying to hold temperance meeting in a town I will not name. When I saw that these devoted people had the whole of the pubicans in the place heaving bricks at them, said to myself that cause that wanted backing up with brickbats was not the cause for me. I have been tee totaler ever since, and am glad of it.'
