25 Years Ago Today
 From Paper of That Date

The new police chief, William J. Rawlings, was presented with a diamond and opal pin last evening by the members of the hook and ladder company, of which he was foreman for some years. An inter- esting feature about the affair is that MT. Rawlings himself. while employed at Porter & Dysen's, de- signed this same pin with no thought that it would ever be pre- scented to him. Chief Rawlings was sworn in by City Clerk Thomp- son shortly after o'clock this af- tornoon.
 The application Of J. J. Toomey for a position as hoseman at Fire station No. was received by the fire board last evening and placed on File,

4 WORTHY CITIZEN ANSWERS CALL

The death of H. Dayton Hum phrey removes a citizen of New Britain who lived an upright, blame less life and leaves a memory of achievement In a quiet, unostcnta- tious way that will be his best monument.
 AS careful, prudent business man, church clerk and water commission CT MT. Humphrey had filled every trust that the public imposes in a man worthy of it's confidence. Dur. ing his service of 47 years to his church he saw many changes, but he himself changed little, certainly never in the estimation of his friends and that part of the great public which came into contact with him, He reached the age of so years gall lantly, and it is said that few who had occasion to meet him within late years realized he had been of this world four score years.
 He was a prince among men, an honor to himself and his city. May he rest in peace.

charge it as profit and loss on the ledger of the next big fight,
 More important than the trial or tho fine was the revelation that it was thought possible to secure tho conniyance of government officials to the interstate transportation of the films, Indeed, there Is said to have been private showing at a prominent gentlcmans house in Washington at which high govern mcnt officials were present, It is clear that Mir, Rickard must have had reason 10 believe government officials were sufficiently plastic to permit him to wink pn eye at the law, else he would not have gone to this trouble.
 Transportation of the fllms took place into various states. Whether there was any connection between this transportation and the private showing of the films in Washington it Is left to everyone's fancy to con- clude. Be that as 1t may persons in whose hands the films were found in various states paid total of $7,0O0 in fines. How much the profits were is not known, but they were evident ly much more than the total of fines paid at that time or eXacted yoster- day It is safe to assume that the prize fight film business still re- mains profitable.
 There are a great many people who do not think well of the anti film transportation law, any more than they think well of the Mann white slave act, which is not used to prevent white slaves from becoming slaves but to prevent interstate transportation of love-making. The film law, 1t is evident from the evil dence, does not prevent the inter- state transportation of flms--the transporters merely pay the fines and add them to the cost of doing business; and the white slave act toe often merely serves as a decoy to scheming adventuresses and evi- dently does not stop evil-doing. But both laws are on the books and should be enforced whenever the government happens to stumble upon evidence.

Mrs. TraproCk's Dog

Hello, boys" said Mrs. Trap rock, poking her head in the shop one day last week.
 Hello, mother" we said . it's like that now, "boys" and mother"
 T just wanted to tell you about Walters dog" she said. Hes a mixed breed, a spitzfoundland, Walter saN, but bright my land. Walter uses him to hunt rab- bits with but Laura that's his name yes, know he's he, but I always told my sister Laura that if I had a daughter she should be named after her and I didn't, and the dog was the best I could do well, anyhow, Laura does all the hunting. Walter just sits on a log and Laura chases the rabbits up 10 him.
 Last week Walter was in town visiting you .. so he says and one morning I thinks to myself, Sarah, you old fool, let's take that old flsh-rod over there and go over to CoIby's pond and catch me a nice trout for dinner. Soon's I come out of the house Laura began to yelp and shake himself all over, l suppose because had on Walters shooting jacket. No, Laura, old boy I says it ain't no use your coming along with me because l ain't going hunting But he just raced off ahead of me. There was no stopping him. And when I got over to the pond, what do you sup pose?"
 Well" we hazarded, I've sup pose that Laura was in the pond, chasing the trout ashore"
 He's no such fool" said Mrs Traprock with soorn that plainly implied that we were. He was ur on the bank digging worms. G'bye | boys"

GENERAL MITCHELL ITO HIS REWARD"

So Brigadier General William B. Mitchell, assistant chief of the army air service until April 26, will be shifted 10 Texas, and denoted to the rank of colonel.
 General Mitchell gave his bureau cratic superiors in Washington more trouble than any person in the army. In fact he gave them nearly as much trouble as he gave the Ger mans when he was commander of the American airmen in France. When General Pershing had not yet retired, the bureaucrats had to put Up with General Mitchells peculiar and picturesque manner; but when Pershing retired to private life the air chieftain he had selected to head American flyers in France became onerous. Whenever he repeated that he could sink battleship with a bomb hurled from an airplane & bilious wave of indignation went up, and the ultimate muzzling was not long delayed.
 Only three persons received the Distinguished Service Cross during the war, and General Mitchell was one of them. After the war, when he repeatedly declared he could sink battleship." the phrase grat- ed on the ears of naval officers, but Congress finally took notice and General Mitchell got his chance. Naval officers fixed the rules for the encounter-the general was to throw bombs upon the deck of the captur- ed German battleship Ostfriesland. General Mitchell, in the presence of a large assemblage of naval men, i congressman and newspapermen, did as he was told for while without much damage to the battleship; but then he came along with 1000 pound bomb and dropped it along side the battleship, The explosion punched 8 large hole under the wa | 4I l.
 The controversy between General 1 Mitchell and the more conservative officers went further than a discus sion of the relative merits of air. ships and battleships; General
 Mitchell is of the younger school which says armies and battleships re well nigh obsolete, and that air ships can decide any future war without much help from either. Of course this grates ol the ears of the cider generation. Who is right we are not prepared to say. The former
 air commander may be more than half right, but he could not be per-
 mitted to talk right out in meeting
 so often and so loudly. There has
 got to be some degree of teamwork in the war department, but attention
 to such little details was entirely ob-
 noxious to the fiery air chieftain.

 of Reviews. speaks of General
 Mitchell and the controversy Tn : which he figured as follows:
