NeighborS Suspect He Is Not
 Living Up to Orders

The Naples building case, bugaboo of the building department for more than year, is again appearing on the horizon and gives promise Of early and interesting developments,
 Anthony Naples was refused a permit for a two family dwelling on Hart street, the action being taken by the common council after the huilding commission had decided 10 close a case of long standing with favorable report.
 Because of the remarks passed back and forth during the several hearings on this matter Mayor A. M. Paoncssa called tho commission, in Spcctors and members of the com mon council in session at his office. The commission was roundly de- nounced for alleged failure to prop "rly exercise discretionary privileges given in under the existing ordin- ances and it was then that a law was created removing from the board all rights of discretion. The actions tronspiring at that meeting resulted in the commission resigning, only one member remaining.
 Later Naples applied for and was given q permit to build a one -famil; house on the same plot. His neigh. hors havc been watching progress on thc house and their observations have been such that they arc not satisfied the building is of the one. family type, Asked today is steps were planned to bring about an in.

 The communication, which comes from the district office of the light ing company at New Britain. was written by E. r, Putnam, district superintendent, and is as follows: Dear Sir:
 With further reference 10 your editorial Of recent date relative 10 the lighting at the railroad station at New Britain and Berlin. As we previously advised you we sent MT, B. l.. Crampton our illuminating sales engineer down to New Haven last week. MT. Crampton talked with the electrical engineer Of the road in some length and was author ized to tell you that the railroad company desired to improve the il- lumination at these two stations and were preparing plans for so doing, The plans call for rathcr an clab- crate installation and it may be some time before the money is available for the work.
 'Tn the meantime they are taking steps to temporarily improve condi- tions hy washing and cleaning their rchectors and putting in some larger lamps which will help somewhat. am inclined tn believe from results oe our conversation with the railroad people that the visit and your cdi~ rorial is going 10 hear fruit in the way or improved llEhullS al 'nc Std- ton before long.

BIG CORN CROP
IS FORECAST
Spring Wheat in Minnesota Fig
ured rs, 1876, 900 Blu, 70
Per Cent Normal.

Washington-With crops nearing
harvest, more definite indication OF
production this year was given by the
department of agriculture in its
monthly report. September 1 condi-
lions point to q corn crop of 1885,
$4,000 bushels, compared with 1876
$4,000 bushels month ago and
1905, 053,000 bushels last year. Spring
wheat indications are for 212,109,0 900
bushels, compared with 212,719,000
bushels a month ago and 0,S75,000
bushels last year. The preliminary
estimate of winter wheat placed pro-
duction at 626,482,000 bushels, COM
pared with 395,610,000 bushels last
year.
Prospects for cotton, oats, and
beans, and for various California, Flo
rida and Louisiana crops are not so
good as they were a month ago. The
composite condition Of all crops on
September 1, was only 2 per cent be-
low the 1O-year average on that date,
representing an improvement of more
than 2 per cent since August l, and
nealy per cent since July l. Rain
damaged the oats crop in the shock to
the extent of H,540,000 bushels dur
ing the month and the quality has
been much reduced while the hay crop
Is the shortest since 1918, and may be
the smallest since 1914. Relief from
drouth caused a substantial improve
ment in the potato crop, sending the
forecast about 100000 bushels above
that for August. Nearly Ito bushels
an acre is indicated, compared with
the 10-year average of 101.6 bushels,
but the yield is still largely dependent
upon the lateness of frost and the ex-
tent of losses from blight.

Mail Men Get Shoot to Kill Order

Washington-A command ito shoot
to kill'' was sent out by the postoffice
department to its army of 22,500 rail
way mail clerks to protect from BAN
dts, even at the cost of their own
lives, the millions of dollars worth of
treasure handled daily in the United
States mails. The command, which
applies to the thousands of other pos
tai employees, also constitutes warn
ing to the underworld that the postal
service means war and anyone found
attempting to rob the mails may ex-
pect cold-lead reception and no
mercy. In issuing the command it
also was indicated that, if this means
Of protection should fail, the United
States marines again might be called
to guard the mails as they did late in
1921 when banditry was prevalent.
This drastic move was determined by
Postmaster General New at council
Of war with his lieutenants as a re-
suit of the recent holdup near Chi
cago in which bandits stole $135, 900
in currency.
