HAVE MUCH EQUIPMENT

New York, Jan. S.-Railroads in the east have ample equipment to handle the heavy traffic expected in the first quarter of 1925. officials of the New York Central, Baltimore X Ohio Pennsylvania and other roads reported today at a meeting at the Atlantic States Shippers Advisory board.
 Although the railroads have spent S2,225,00Q,0Q0 for new facilities in the last two years, the concurrent breaking Of all traffic records would have been impossible without the cooperation Of shippers, President Crowley of the New York Central. told the board.
 "It wasn't inspiration so much as necessity which led 10 the formation Of these shippers advisory organiza- tions," which now are functioning regionally throughout the United States, he said,
 When demand for transportation increases 2S9 per cent in a genera ton and population increases 70 per cent as was true between 1890 and 1923 or when the ton-mileage of annual freight haul per capita in- creases from 1,s36 to Also, h the call for the best efforts of all Jt us becomes urgent"

 IN ALL SECTIONS
East, West, North, South Alike,
 Walter Camp Says

New Haven, Jan. S.--Football as played in the east, middle-west and on the Pacific coast is all practically the same today, according to Walter Cam, well known authority on the game In an interview published in the Yale News. The intersectional matches account for this condition, Mir. Camp is quoted as saying.
 Mir. Camp comments the playing of the Yale team of this year, de- claring that it was "marked by a graduate coordination into team ply and effectiveness, without stars, which to my mind is the highest credit 10 the coach and coaching staff"
 'Notre Dame, was like Yale" he Is quoted as saying "a well coordin- ated team and dependent upon team pla@ more than upon stars"
 Mr. Camp is quoted as favoring the change in rules proposed by Head Coach T. A. D. Jones of Yale which would not permit player to return to the game.

ELECTION EARLY
 LIKELY IN ITALY
Is That It Will Be Called
 iO April or May

Rome, Jan. S. - The announce ment by Premier Mussolini m yes tcrday's Ca>inet meeting that after the approval oC the electoral bill the parliamentary session may ho closed in order to pro, 'rd to the holding of a general election has caused a change in the situation which parliamentary circles were discussing animatedly today The communique issued by the cabinet gave the impression that the elec- ton would be held as soon as pos sihe, which is taken 10 mean the end of April or the beginning of May,
 The cabinet refused to insert in the new electoral law a proviso that rmigrants might vote in the foreign countries where they were living. It also refused a proposal 10 allow electors to vote by mail. It re- iccted the principle of compulsory voting and the idea of plural voting, lased On the financial status of cleo tors, but conceded plural voting to various categories of electors such as those decorated for valor, profes- sors, the heads Of important indus tries and distinguished artisans.
 The work of compiling the list of all those entitled 10 plural votes would take more than the few weeks which would elapse between the ap- proval Of the al law and the election debts. f Mussolini really intends 10 have an election in the spring he will have to insert in the law q temporary provision for hold- ing the election without the plural voting feature.

MAY THREATENS ID
 COLLECT DAMAGES
Wants Action on Application Be-
 fore Building Commission

The wave of opposition to alleged use of portions of the zoning ordi- nance before 1t becomes effective, Is rapidly growing more and more pronounced and today legal action Is threatened by ex-Alderman Charles May unless speedy action Is taken on an application made by him some time ago.
 The former alderman wishes to build a store on Shuttle Meadow avenue. Several months ago he made application for permit but q remonstrance filed by residents of the neighborhood resulted in the permit being held up. Later the remonstrants withdrew their objec- tons and May filed a new applica- ton. Definite action has not been taken.
 The zoning ordinance and maps will not be ready for action for sev- eral months, but in the meantime no building permits are being issued without first consulting tho proposed zone maps and fl the building is not of the type allowed under the pro- posed map in the neighborhood in which 1t is to be built, the applica- ton is usually denied. 1t is said.
 City officials and others cognizant of the situation have objected and complained. the opposition even reaching the common council cham Der when Councilman Arthur N Rutherford made known his objec- ton to the present mode of issuing permits.
 In a letter to the building com mission, May has requested speedy action on his application, writing he has been advised he can collect damages for the failure of that board to take his application from the table.

STORIES CONFLICT AT DOTY HEARING
Continued From First Page)
Doty Tells StOry

'~sg iNhfo h'totF
 According to reports of the meet irg, Doty said that on the night in question, he was walking toward the corner of Main and Park streets when he was attracted by loud talk ing and laughing. Arriving in front of the block on Main street, he claimed he found the seven men fooling around in such d manner that they interfered with pedestrians walking along the sidewalk, He spoke to them and told them they would have to move, and they diu. going around the corner and then coming back and going into a store. The policeman ctaims [ hat this action was satisfactory to him so be con- tinued along and on his way back, they were still in the store. He ia reported to have claimed that when he was passing. one ot the meu shouted out of the store at him, ip an uncomplimentary manner, but Il. ignored it and proceeded to the box at the corner of Arch street.
 There he met Rouski and Wagner and while they were talking. the men are alleged to have come out of the store again and gathered on the sidewalk. Doty claims that he and his two companions watched them for over five minutes, and then, sat- 1 isGed that they had no intention of leaving, he went over with Wagner and ROuski. He then claims he told them that it was time for a show Gown, that they were going to get away from there or go to the police station. They did not move, ac- cording to his reported story, so he asked them if they wanted him to | call the patrol. They made no move and one of them is alleged to have dared him to call the patrol. | Taking it as a challenge to enforce his order. Doty told Wagner to call the patrol and he placed the men under arrest, on q charge of refus- ing to move when ordered to do so by him.
 Contradict Doty's story
 The story of the victims of the arrest differed from this story. They claimed that they were not on the sidewalk at the time they were ar rested, according to the report, but were standing in the doorway of the store conducted by two of the men. They are reported to claim that the policeman ordered them to move away from the doorway and when they did not, as they felt they had a perfect right to stand there,. the policeman called the patrol and ar- rested them. They said that they were on the sidewalk until ordered to move by Doty, and after that they are reported to claim that at, no time were any of them obstructing traffic or causing a disturbance of lary nature,

Reasons For Tragedy

Madison, Wis, Jan. S.--Beiief that frenzy, resulting from fruitless efforts to reestablish friendship with Miss Laura Palmer. University of Wisconsin instructor. caused r. x. Bernard, to shoot and seriously wound the woman and take his own life here yesterday, was expressed today by Phillip La Toilette, district attorney.
 Letters found in Bcrnard's pock- cts, the district attorney said, sup ported this opinion. The tragedy oc- cured in the French house, resi- dence of women students of French, of, which Miss Palmer was chaper- one. The contributing factors which actbated Bernard, former chemist of Hibbing, .Minn., and student of French. however. remained unclear, the prosecutor added.
 < There are indications that at one time very strong friendship exist ed between Miss Palmer and Ber- nard," he said. From the evidence, there was break in their relations and the shooting was apparently due to the failure of the mans efforts to reestablish the former friendship"
 One theory of investigating officers is that Bernard had tried to per- suade the girl to marry him and that the shooting resulted from her rejection.
 While Miss Palmer was reported at the hospital today to be resting comfortab ply, 1t was said that her condition would not permit ques- tioning.
 Couldn't Marry Him
 Miss Palmer, during semi-con- scious moments. gave an indication of the cause of the shooting when she moaned: T couldn't love him-- I couldn't make up my mind to marry him. He wanted me to marry him and I wouldn't" accordT ing to reports from the hospital.
 Authorities said today that fur tber investigation indicated that the shooting might be the cuiminauon of A series of rejections of the mans ptea that Miss Palmer marry him' The first rebuff came. they said when Miss Palmer met his fifteen year old daughter and exclaimed: never could be mother to so old a girl.' ,
 Among the letters found in Ser nard's effects at H'bbing were seN, eral addressed to sweetheart ana sometimes signed Laura others Lore the signature Laura Palmer
 One letter said: "No. l can't mar TN at this time, because you are not earning enough to support me ana +,,o children by former marriage If also said "There is no other man,
 Another missive said; T cou'dh marry you after what happened al Duluth," but gave no indication ol the incident referred to one one letter dealt with a disagreement oNel %aoo Bernard had sent Miss Falihe' while she was in France
 One of the letters was signed by rrofessor in the romance languas' denartment of the University ot WIS, WIS, aons,n who wrote that Miss Palmer ras Ion the verge of nervous hreakdown. It pleaded wi'h per ,,ard to release her from "her prom ise to marry

Baker, Mrs. Bingham, their youngest son. a cousin, Mrs. Aber- crombie, of Greenwich and Mrs. La large of Mount Carmel, and Mir. Roraback who also had been in the governors office party.
 Among others present at the swearing in of Governor Trumbull were, Mrs. Trumbull, their two daughters and Mir. Trumbulrs moth CT. a brother Henry, of Plainville, Mir. and Mrs. Taylor of Greens Farms, former Governor, Holcomb, Executive Secretary Kelly, pT.

Mrs, Craw- ford member from Westport, h. surance Commissioner Durham and Mrs, Dunham. Comptroller Salmon and Mrs. Salmon, Secretary Pallotti, pal. MaiAr JInMcl1 ton Bulkeley and Executive Clerk Rood. To members of his staff Governor Bingham had presented signed copy of his latest book and personal greeting on his official stationery which was in use but s day. He had signed three official orders, two relating to military ap- pointments and the other notary's commission.
 Governor Bingham wrote many personal letters to friends who had been brought into daily contact with him as lieut.-governor of acting gov ernor when Governor Templeton was away. These were on the official stationery of his office and were written after he became governor. They probably will be cherished not only for the sentiment expressed in them but because of the extremely limited number of sheets of official letter paper used by Governor Bing- ham bearing his title.
 Among the letters was the follow ing in part to Frank p. Rood, the executive clerk, who has been more than 40 years in the governors of ice:
 Dear Frank:
 Governors come and go, but the skilled old quartermaster still re- mains ready to steer the ship with the tact and knowledge derived from score of former governors, II has always been a pleasure to me to have your friendship and assistance during the days when was acting governor and l am glad that our names are associated together at the head of this sheet even though it be but for a couple of days"
 Governor TTumbull found no off, cial business awaiting his signature except a number of notary commis- slons and it seemed likely at noon that his first official signature would be on one of these.
 Executive Secretary Edward kel' ly began his duties ct once.
