rAVORS BUS STOP
 AT WEST OF PARK
Mayor Would Cut Six Foot
 Strip of Sidewalk

Mayor A. NJ. Paonessa was pre- 9arlng today 10 write n letter to Councilman David l.. Nair, chair nan of the ordinance committee i recommending that a parking sta ion for jiuncy buSsoS be located at Inc west side of Central Park. The mayor believes that q six-foot strip would be taken off the present IT, foot sidewalk and a parking station established there He will also sug- cest that shelter similar to inc one at the Hartford transfer point be erected al the somherly end Of the park. This could be used hy patrons of the trolley company, whose ears stop east of the park, and patrons of the jtneys as well.
 The mayor said today that the cost Of cutting off siX-foot strip Of sidewalk, laying q permanent pave ment there and erecting a waiting station would not he more than S5,- GOO, and possibly less. He estimates the cost of the street work at not more than s2,oOO and the cost of the waiting station at S3,0OQ,
 Four plans are being considered to abate the iitney parking nuisance. One would set aside parking space from the Park hotel 10 Church street on the east side of Main street. The second would provide parking space for all litneys in front of the B, C. Porter and Woolworth stores The third would establish parking stations for the different bus lines' The Arch and Jerome street lines at the corner of Arch and Main streets; the Chapman street line at the Grammar school; the Oak street line at the corner of East Main ana Main streets. and the Burritt street line at the corner of Main and Myr- tie streets. Under this plan' jitneys would be permitted to come Into the center of the city for the purpose oi discharging or taking on passengers but would not be allowed to use any spot in the center for waiting sta ton. The fourth plan embraces the suggestion of Mayor Paonessa fol cutting down the sidewalk west O Central Park.
 Councilman Nair said today tha his committee has an open mind ant will welcome suggestions from cltl gems.
 Mayor Paonessa will also ask tn ordinance committe to eommunicat with the Connecticut Co. and en sesvor to have one-man trolleys nov In use in this city rebuilt so pas ,engers being discharged in the cen ter may alight on the slde"al
 rather than in the street, as IS nov he practice. The motorman's chal ia on the left of the front cao' lt Is changed to the other side 'n danger of accidents to passenger leaving the cars will be minimlzee the mayor believes.

RAILROAD RATES HELD TOO HIGH Petroleum Charges to Indiana
 Are Justified

Washington. March 21.-Railroad rates on petroleum products moving from Oklahoma producing territory to Indiana points were held to be unjustifed today by the interstate commerce commission and reduc- tions were ordered on before May 25.
 Acting upon complaint of the In- diana chamber of commerce and other trade organizations, the com mission found that petroleum re- ceivers in Illinois and Iowa had been given rates much lower than those maintained to Indiana.
 In making new schedules railroads were instructed to fix rates on gaso- line from Tulsa at AZ cents per hundred pounds when shipped to Indiana cities lying west of the Pennsylvania line, which runs from Crown Point to Logansport. The rate from Tulsa to Indiana points east of the line so described may be 45.5 cents per hundred on gaso- line. while on other petroleum pro- ducts the railroads were authorized to establish proportionate charges bearing the normal relationship.

HOW TO GET YOUR MONEYS
WORTH OUT OF ECLIPSE

at the sun before totality even
through smoked glass. The eye
soon gets tired and looking at any
brilliant light makes the eye much
less sensitive to the faint stream
ers of the corona which will be
visible during totality. All the
phenomena that are seen before
totally can be seen in reverse or
der when the sun once more APP.
pears behind the moon. These
things can be looked at afterwards
just as well as beforehand. and as
there is nothing which requires the
eclipse is over it is best to look
at them then.
Be Out in Open.
In fact the wise spectator will
not look at the sun at all within
five minutes before totally comes
on. He will look on the ground
for the shadow bands and in the
west for the rushing shadow Of the
moon. IF he keeps careful account
of the time, he will know within n
second or two when the total
eclipse should be over. When it is
very nearly finished he will take
his eye from the sky to see the
shadow rushing away with the same
speed at which it came. AS soon
as 1t is gone he can take his
smoked glass or darkened film and
look at the sun for Bailey's beads
and watch the crescent gradually in
crease. He may see the shadow
bands again on the ground, and
after that there is little more to
look for.
The best place to see everything
but the rushing shadow is any place
where the sun can be seen without
being INSTRUCTED by trees or houses.
One should be careful that there
are no artificial lights nearby, as
they distract the eye.
To see the shadow come, one
should have q good view to the
west Of q mile or more. This can
be obtained from the top
of a high building in the city. In
the country one can nearly always
find nearby place which win serve
the purpose.

a wonderful fringe Of pearly white
light which is known to astronomers
as the corona. Close to the edge Of
the black moon it is as bright as
the full moon would be on an ordinary
night. 1t soon fades off, however,
into the sky. Sometimes it Is quite
evenly spread all round the sun, al
other times long rays OF it shoot out
in three or four directions. The
corona is usually one Of the most
important sights for the astronomer
at total eclipse of the sun, because
it can never be seen at any other
time. Totally only lasts two min

Tiny Red Flames.
Round the black edge of the moon
may be seen two or three tiny red
flames, known to the astronomer as
the prominences. These appear
small even in binocular, which
may be used to look at them for a
moment. Actually they are eften
tens, or even hundreds of thousands
Of miles high, consisting of hot
masses OF gas rushing out from tho
surface Of the sun. They have been
known to change their shape even
during the short TIME Of totality, so
rapidly do they move. It Is hard to
conceive that the whole earth might
be bathed I'm one Of them and scarce
" divide the flame.
Even before the crescent Of the
sun has disappeared, stars will be-
gin to be visible to those who are
on the lookout for them, but It is
not until the sun is totally OBJ
secured that any but the very
brightest stars are seen. There
are not many bright stars in the
sky close to the sun at this eclipse,

CHARGE MADE RYAN RIDES
DEMOCRATIC DONKEY

The McAdoo followers have never
forgiven him for that little feat
which they credit to him; and they
are at outs with him both because
Of what they think he did to them
in New York and because Of his
well-known adherence to what they
call the "reactionary" and what
Mr.. Merkling calls the "sound JEFF
fersonian" point Of view in the poll
cies Of the Democratic party.
Profess Great Alarm.
They now profess great alarm
when they see, as they claim they
see, Mr.. Merkling, dominating the
correspondence Of the Democratic
national committee and being e.
sentially. according to them. the
main operator OF the Democratic
machine. s3t$ts
They assert that from Ryan
sources Mr.. Merkling has reduced
the Democratic national committee
deficit from being moro than $780,
900 to being not much more than
$150, 900.
They assert that Mr.. Ryan II
now doing precisely what he did
after the defeat Of the Democratic
Presidential candidate, Judge Altot'
B. Parker, in 1904. At that time
Mr.. Ryan. it is claimed, spent
some $500, 900 paying off the deficit
left behind by the Parker campaign
management and thus acquired ana
retained control Of the Democratic
national organization. it is said,
for some four years.
Today, instead Of being grateful
to Mr.. Ryan for putting las they
clainn) some $4,000 into reducing
the Democratic deficit, they resent
what they regard as his effort to
control the Democratic party on pc
half of the wall Street" philosophy
Of things.
At Democratic national headquar
ters today here no explanation was
given of the fact that Glenn Shaver
titular chairman Of the Democratic
National Committee, has admittedly
passed out Of the national political
picture. Mr.. Merkling, it can be
safely stated, has not passed out al
all and has a vivid and continuous
interest in politics.

of $40 who pay a monthly fee of 81.
The association pays to the widow

with SIS for the erection Of grave
marker.
Outside Help Needed.
The deaths among the firemen are
said to run from six to twenty a
year since the organization Of the
association about twenty years ago,
so that the association has been able
to meet it's obligations only with
outside help.
The organization is made UP Of
local firemen, with Deputy Chief
p. w. Nicholson as president; Act
ing Deputy Chief James Keliher,
treasurer and r. ]. Nesline, sec

The receipts of the last charity
inaugural bali amounted to $28, 1000,
which was given to the Child

expected that the receipts win be
considerably in excess of this
amount. since the Mayflower will
accommodate a larger number OF
guests.
