AMERICANS BADLY
 ABUSED IN CANTON
Mrs. Decker JOstled, Finally Ar.
 rested by Police

By The Associated Press.
 Hong Kong, Oct. 6.-Mrs. Harvey Decker. an American and wife of the manager of the Canton City Trans portation Co, Saturday was sub iccted to rough handling, jostling and jeering and finally to detention in a police station cell by 20 Chinese policemen, according to word re- ceived here today.
 Mrs. Decker, who is in delicate health, had gone to the police sta ton in connection with a demand for payment of a police tax alleged to be due from her husband on the ground that he is engaged in busi- ness in Canton. Mrs. Decker was arguing that she and her husband should be exempt from the police tax because the Canton City Trans portation Co.,, is foreign company, when some of the police thrust a revolver against her side, dragged her out of her motor car and car ried her into a barred cell.
 Mrs. Decker endeavored to com municate with the American consul general but was prevented by police officials, until nearly two hours of molestation, her husband was in formed of her predicament and in- voked the assistance of the Ameri- can consul. who went to the police station and obtained her release.

CHARMING CONNECTICUT

It is scarcely necessary 10 remind anyone that the blithcsome autumn period is here and that the pigments of nature are on display nowhere to better advantage than in Connecti- cut.
 An automobile ride in these ideal October days is like a trip through paradise of color. The predominating color scheme is brown and yellow, the green of the grass is speckled with leafy debris shorn from the gallant sentjnels of the forest. If the day is fair the blue dome of the sky will be spattored with foamy cloud-rifts, the bcnignant sun show ering a sparkle Of golden rays over all.
 But the biIlowy hills, terraccd mountain ledges, the sombre hulks of their sloping sides, the downy val leys and the rushes of the water falls fndind a tortuous course to lower levels-where else is this merger of enchanting beauty ant primitive majesty to be found in greater cornucopidn abundance than in Connecticut?

\ BRITISH UPSET.

The Macdonald government in Great Britain faces one of the welr- known crises that comes to British governments every half year or so. A loan was being contemplated to Russia, it seems, and the Liberals have thrown down the gauntlet and Macdonald threatens to start a general election.
 That's how they do things in Eng land. When the government in DOW CT wants 10 put over something that causes serious disc ussion, the cab inet resigns and the premier calls for showdown at the ballot boxes to see whether the interested voters prefer what the government pro- poses or what the critics say ought to be done.
 If the British system were part of the American method of running the country we would have had a gen. eral election right after the scandal scurry in Washington. Our minds would not have cooled oh the proposition and the administration would not have had look in.

HIGH RENTAL FOR TERMINAL,

The New Haven railroad, it was brought out in evidence given at a commutatlon rate hearing in New York, pays the New York Central S6, 1000 year for terminal facili- ties in the Grand Central station.
 That looks pretty steep. The money has to come from passenger service reCeipts-the least profitable source of income on most railroads
 The New Haven and the New York Central must be on bad terms. During the war and for two years thereafter the New York Central was permitted to make use of the Hell Gate bridge route for freight trains destined to Long Island City and whereabouts. The bridge is owned by the New Haven and the Penn sylvania. But the New Haven con- sistentIy lacked up the charges for using the bridge and the New York Central found it cheaper to use lighters in distributing the freight cars, As result Of this a profitable source of revenue was lost 10 the New Haven.
 The New Ravens through trains to Washington, Philadelphia and Pittsburgh use the Pennsylvania terminal, and probably the road has 10 pay rental there also.
