was that of Salisbury vs. Hagerthy
This was an action, or rather two
actions tried together, of Bernell
Salisbury, a minor, for $4,000 dam
ages, and his father, Sherman Sails
bury, for $4,000 damages, against
DR.. G.. r. Hagerthy of Bar Harbor.
The actions grew out of an injury re-
ceived by the boy last December,
when he cut cash in his right knee
while chopping alders. Plaintiffs
alleged that the wound had not been
properly treated by the defendant,
and that as a result the boy was per-
manently crippled. Trial of this case
was opened at the April term, but
resulted in a mistrial, ordered by

cations Here, DR.. Jordan
Tells Temple Hearers

Fake" rabbis in Washington and
other parts of the country who
frame-up dummy congregations
so they can get two gallons of wine
each year for each alleged member
of the congregation were exposed
before the Temple Brotherhood OF
the Washington Hebrew Congrega-
ton last night by DIR. Llewellyn
Jordan, attorney in the national
prohibition enforcement unit.
DR.. Jordan urged that the rabbi
pretenders .'using the Jewish faith
as q protective mask, under which
they ply their trade of bootlegging
be punished.
A sensational declaration was
made by DIR. Jordan that recently
it was found that Of a Washington
congregation of twenty-five alleged
families, only one was of the Jewish
faith. He explained the methods Of
the fake rabbits as follows:
Gathering about themselves what
they claim to be q congregation,
these fictitious priests can obtain,
with the protection of the law, two
gallons of wine per year for every
member of their congregation.
"A great majority of the alleged
followers do not exist at ALL the adj
dresses given for them being vacant
lots. Others are of every conceiv-
able faith, color and creed"
DR.. Jordon appealed to reformed
Judaism for assistance in wiping
out the evil. He urged that those
OF the reformed church who do not
use alcoholic wine for sacramental
purposes, be on their guard against
abusers of the privilege granted to
the other branch of the Jewish

Cotton Wages Slump
In New England
(By Federated Press)

Boston-Fully 3O8o of the 10000
cotton mill operatives in New England
are working under reduced wage
scales as a result of the wage cutting
movement after the election of Presi-
dent Coolidge, according to the Com
mercial & Financial Chronicle. The
prevailing cut is 1919, although in
some mills it has run to 1870 and
1870.
Recent cuts include 750 workers in
the Linwood and Saundersville cotton
mills at Whitinsville, Mass, 1,4OO
workers in the Renfrew Mfg. Co.,
mills in Adams, Mass, 800 employees
of the Methuen Co., Methuen, Mass,
600 employees of the Nyanza mills,
Woonsocket, R. l. and $500 workers
in the Nashua and Jackson mills,
Nashua, N. H.
Meanwhile Fall River cotton manu-
facturers are bewailing the fact that
the average dividend paid in 1924 on
all mill stocks was only 612 % on cap
italization. These cotton mill own
ers who can pay 612%6 during a year
when their employees only secured
half-time look back to the good old
days of 1920 when the average Fall
River cottonmill dividend exceeded
20%o.

Dayton, O.-Deluxe passenger serv-
ice and supplemental use of busses
are the salvation of the traction in
dustry in the middle west, according
to Harry Reid, of Indianapolis, Pres
ident of the Central Electric Railway
Association, at the annual meeting.
Declaring the traction business is on
the best footing since the war, Mr..
Reid said deluxe passenger service Is
already being established, including
diners, sleepers and parlor cars.
Of the bus question, he said: Zone
of the most serious problems confront
ing the electric railway industry to-
day, is the unfair competition OF the
motor vehicle, which in many locali-
ties is unregulated and operated by
irresponsible parties, taking the cream
of the traffic in territory which cleo
trio railways have built up through
many years of effort.
at is generally conceded that the
motor bus and truck has an important
place in the transportation of the
country; in serving communities and
districts isolated from rail lines; as
feeders to rail lines; and also that
they can be made an efficient auxil-
iary to existing electric railways,
when service is properly coordinated,
but the unregulated motor vehicle is
destructive alike to public welfare

Elec. Railways and Motor Buses
Statement by Pres. Of Association

and the prosperity of electric rail
ways.
"Electric railway operators, with
their knowledge and experience in the
transportation business, are best quail
flied to meet the requirements of the
public. But operation in the terri
tory served by their lines, and where
there is need for such service, should
be supplied exclusively by them.
Realization that the public can best
be served by providing the type of
transportation best suited to the de-
mands, and as a means of conserving
revenues, many of our member lines
have provided auxiliary bus service.
However, in order to further pro-
tect our interests and investments,
and in order that the public may have
safe, reliable and satisfactory trans
portation service, it would seem neces-
sary that electric railways forestall as
much as possible, the encroachment of
independent bus operators in their
territories, by themselves providing
the service demanded by the public,
and at the same time such steps as
may be necessary should be taken to
secure necessary legislation providing
for proper bus and truck regulation,
under the jurisdiction of the same au-
thorities governing the operation of
rail lines, with provision requiring a
certificate of convenience and necess-
ity in each case"

Would Investigate
Tariff Commission
(By Federated Press)

Washington - Senator Robinson
Democratic leader in the senate, has
offered a resolution demanding that
the committee on finance, of which
Smoot is chairman, shall investigate
the attempts that have been made or
threatened to coerce the tariff COM
mission into favoring the existing
high duties on sugar. Smoot is the
man who is accused of having helped
Coolidge and the sugar trust to keep
up the sugar tariff thus far, despite
the fact that the majority of the tar
iff commission asked Coolidge last
August to reduce the rates.
In his resolution, Robinson calls at
tention to press reports that the pres
ident intend to violate the law Great
ing the Tariff Commission, by remov-
ing the three low-tariff members and
appointing high-tariff advocates in
their stead.
Coolidge's suppression of the sugar
tariff report, and his failure to re-
duce the rates as demanded by Sena-
tor La Toilette last summer, has be-
come one of the cynical jokes of Off
cial Washington. It's logical sequence
has. been the report that secretary
Mellon, Frank Stearns and National
chairman Butler of the Republican
committee have agreed in advising
the presidency to scrap the commits
sion and put partisan dummy IN its
place.

Some More Changes in
Telephone Numbers

More changes in telephone numbers
affecting certain parts of the north
and northwest sections of the city
were made Monday, January 18th.
This became necessary as a conse-
quence of the continued policy of
bringing nearer to a completion the
program of the extensions and better
ments in those localities, so j. c.
Boush of the Newark Telephone Com
pany informs US, and dwells on furth-
er by saying that practically every
changed number carries with 1T five
figures and that the lines will now
terminate in the downtown central
office, connecting with more modern
equipment which contains the last
word in refinement of automatic op
eration-all of this tends to be pro-
ductive of improved service.
Mr.. Boush also says: Changing
numbers is not useless action on
the part of the company as some peo-
pie may be prone to believe, but where
ever such comprehensive improve
ments and additions are made which
extend far in every direction, changes
of some kind can seldom be avoided.
Our dominant aim will be to correct
as speedily as possible all trouble
while in the process of making the
change, although we fail to foresee
where this shift will mean any undue
inconvenience to our subscribers if
they will try and exercise care when
selecting their numbers and are in
tent on cooperating with US as in the
past-of which we are not unmind-
full"
A list of the new numbers and
names of subscribers affected may be
found elsewhere in today's Leader,
and it is urgently requested that each

Company Ungrateful
To the Scab Herders

New Orleans-Edward Thompson,
strikebreaker boss, has filed suit
against the Texas Transport and Ter
minal Co. for $17,420, which he al
leges he would have been entitled to
had he not been discharged. Thomp-
son was engaged as general superin-
tendent in New Orleans over the
strikebreaking longshoremen during
1924, and was told by officials that
the job was his for life. His salary
was to be $55 week and all the
overtime necessary. William Harris,
his assistant, also files suit for $14,-
600 on the same grounds.
While the strike was in its zenith
these men drew the wage agreed up
on; but when the union was licked,
they were gradually let out.
The transportation company is say
ing nothing, but engaging the best
legal talent.
+ Courts of Chicago levied fines
amounting to $4,000 against speeders
