and expressed his appreciation to his
hosts.
Following Mason's departure, w. w.

issued the following statement;
while Mr.. Mason did not commit
himself to any definite program or
advertising for the Chiricanuas, ne,
was enthusiastic in his praise of the
many attractions they have to offer
the public, and since he authorized
no public statement, what I have to
say is in the capacity of citizen os
Douglas, rather than as representa-
five Of the Southern Pacific.
you can appreciate the Tact that
the Southern Pacific is just as mucn
interested in presenting such atten-
tions to the travelling public as is the
community to which they belong or
are in close proximity, and the COM
pany never oyerlooks an opportunity
to feature them in such a way as TO
bring a ready response from the peo-

such things.

Ole Doug Fairbanks puts his arm around my shoulder and says he'll get Dickie Barthelmess to fix things up for me, and Ole Chaplin-you know Ole Charlie, of course? Well, Ole Charlie begged with tears in his eyes for me to come along, so, just as I told Addie Menjou and Billy S. Hart. said I'd try anything once.
 Well, they all began wrinsing my hands at once and We hoped into Lon Chaney's car, and opened up a couple of quarts of Harold Lloyd's private stock. Ole Harold's quite kid, let me tell you! We had a lotta fun outa Ole Harold. Ole Buster Keaton and me almost busted our sides laughin' at him.

\ NEAl-TRAGEDY AT BERLIN STATION
How the nuhIic is or5

How the public is endangered at the Berlin railroad station is patent 10 all beholders; nothing could be worse, from a safety standpoint, than to have railroad patrons crossing the main line tracks to get to the platform alongside while the New Britain "dinlIy' train unloads and loads its passengers 10 this city.
 But when a railroad engineer, piloting a train running 40 min utes late and endeavoring to make up lost time ploughs past the sta ton while q train on an adjoining track is just moving . off, the chances for tragedy are greatly multiplied.
 This happened yesterday morn- ing, when an express from Boston i'''''L at A45l speed Willlc pa irons of the road were attempting to cross the tracks. with their view of the roadway to the north ob- structed by the slowly moving train on the cast track.
 It is contrary to all rules and regulations of good ralroading for train to pass another, which has stopped at station or is just pull ing away from 1t, without material ly slowing it's speed
 Commuters 10 New Britain, who narrowly escaped injury, were nat urally indignant at such an exhibi- ton of carelessness.
 There have been enough railroad disasters recently without courting them on the New Haven.

While there Is no reason to believe that the trouble Is in- herent In the cucumber, 1t is pos sible that faulty methods of curing may contribute to the condition. One reason may be that too long 8 time is allowed between gathering and brining. The period should not exceed to hours.

THOMS BOOM GAINS
 MOMENTCM

The boom Of William E. Thoms seems to be gaining strength throughout the Democratic ranks in the state, and the statement he is the only Moses who can lead the party out of the bulrushes" Is being repeated in various public prints showing a tendency to well come his candidacy.
 The Thoms boom, of course. started in Waterbury, but it had the strength to reach other cities and counties. It has made head way among the Democrats of New Haven and in Ltchfeld counties, and in New Britain, where Thoms formerly lived. The boom has also been welcomed among anti-organ- ization factions in Hartford and New London.
 lHeIS cGn De no doubt that Thoms would be the strongest Democratic gubernatorial candidate in years. irrespective of his chances for election or defeat. He is not straddling any fences, has given an unequivocal statement of what he stands for - which is in conform ity with what the Democratic party in this state ought to stand for - and commands the respect and af- lection Of the multitude of voters who agree with him.
 The Democratic party of the state should choose it's strongest guhernatorial candidate. not mere ly go through the rite of placing somebody's name on the ticket.

DACGHERTY FACES \ GRIM ORDEAL

HdFry sMlcalan DauSAeFly, Wuo was forced to resign as attorney general of the United States more than two years ago, is facing the most violent battle of a checkered career-the most seriou. onslaught against his personal integrity since the days when the good-natured Harding included him in that se- lect circle from Ohio usually termed the "Ohio gang" and placed him in power in his cabinet at Washington.
 We have no desire to prejudge the charge made in the grand jury's indictment one alleging that Daugherty the late Jesse Smith, a crony, the late John T. King. one-time national commit teeman from Connecticut, and Thomas w. Miller, former alien property custodian, conspired to defraud the government. It is in- deed regrettable when men who had been entrusted with power and influence are entangled in such af- fairs.
 Daugherty Is treed on charge that did not come to light in the inquiry by the Senate In the spring of 1924. At that time the public prints were filled with stories of the Ohio gang" Jesse Smith, Mrs. Ro1ie Stinson. bootleggers, the Dempsey yCarpentier prize fight films. and the little green house on K street" The American Metal company scarcely figured in the news; now this s7,000,00O deal holds the center of the stage.
 Now we are hearing the skele- tons in the Daugherty closet rat tie. At best it is sordid tale. and little Of enlightenment - except az light may be thrown into hith. erto dark places can be expect ed. The disappearance of the rec ords of Daugherty's account in a bank at Washington Court House, Ohio, is an item that does not strengthen public confidence in the former head Of the Department of Justice. It was learned that Daush- erty himself went to the bank and removed every page bearing on Jesse Smiths deposits and had them burned up. He also burned up every bit of the banks record Of his own deposits.
 Daugherty has been a particular iy hard fox to tree into q defensive court action. Miller was first in- dicted, but it was necessary for an
 
 assistant Of District Attorney Buckner of New York 10 go to Eu- rope to dig up strong enough evil dence against the former cabinet member to warrant an indictment.
 The baby prosecutors" in New York have a big case. White-hair- cd William Travers Jerome, famed as the Tiiaw prosecutor, has turned with something of his old-time vim to the role of a defensive attorney Tn a new cause celebre. The public looks on in amazement. as well 1t might. It is the first time in the history Of the country that for mer cabinet minister has been placed on trial
