Hartford, Conn. March z tPl-- The Connecticut river is rising at the rate Of one inch an hour and early this afternoon it had climbed 'o the seven loot mark at the State street dock, approximately 16 inches higher than its level Of yesterday.

 Weather Bureau Warning
 Tho United States weather bu- r,au here this afternoon announced that constant warm weather in the snow region and in southern New England has created a situation that , may bring the Connecticut river near to the flood stage. the 15-foot point, and possibly beyond that mark.

QUIGLEY RESUMES
 ATTACK ON POLICE
Says Department Is DeInOralized
 at Factory Rally Today
REITERATES 'JOINT' CHARGE
Candidate For C. Q. P. Nomination
 Declares Paoncssa Administration
 lS EXtrayagant And Wasteful- Takes Fling Al UChalik.

The New Britain police depart ment is demoralized by political in- reference, George A. Quigley, cap- didate for nomination for a fourth term as mayor, told a gathering at the r. x r. Corbin factory gate this noon, and he promised if elected to drive out the damned politics"
 He reiterated his statement of yesterday noon that there are joints in the city of New Britain that are protected, and added he was not speaking of those that are occa- sionally visited hy the police, since the occasional raids are evidence of the absence of protection. He claimed there are places that appear to be immune from raids and ar rests.
 At the outset he declared himself for representative republican gov ernment, not organization republican government, and he assured the gathering he was republican through and through. Continuing along this vein of argument, he said. ! "l believe, as an independent member of the republican party, l have right to seek the nomination, IT the republican voters decide they want Weld as their candidate, I will work just as hard 10 put him in Of 1 flee as 1 am now working for the nomination."
 Rcpudiatcs Ice House i Referring 10 Candidate Stanley Uchalik's campaign arguments of last night, the former mayor said he had been accused of building the municipal ice house which later fell into dsuse. He said that the build ing was constructed in the admins tration of Joseph M. Halloran, a democrat; the foundations were put in by the present Mayor Angelo NJ Paonessa, Q democrat, and the frame work was placed by the pres ent building inspector, Edward J Hennessy, also a democrat. "Yor can't blame me If it fell down, QuiEley concluded.
 After discussing alleged increase: in tax rates and municipal debts, ex Mayor Quigley characterized tho 1 Paonessa administration as one O waste and eXtravagance. Its high way construction program has beel ruinous. the speaker said.
 Charges Political Fayoritism
 Discussing the police and fire de partments Quigley declared politica favortes are being picked up iron the street without knowledge of tn, work and placed in the department as regular men.
 Illustrative of what he elaine, was the lack of information possess cd Ivy some of these appointees Quigley told a story in which a DO Iiceman and a citizen figured on tn day Of William Jennings Bryan death.
 Accosting the officer, the citizc' Sali; Did you know William Jen uings Bryan died today?"
 The policcman's answer was re ported to be; No l didn't. Wha street did he live on?"

lieve that purpose would be accom-
plshed but, even accepting the con-
trary view of others, the result would
place the American manufacturer at
a disadvantage in foreign markets, and
the direct reflection would necessarily
be shrinllage of American consump-
tion and accordiLgly, an increased sta
tstical surplus for exports.
''When, if ever, we find ourselves in
the position of actually consuming and
actually using in domestic industry
as much raw copper as we produce,
an import duty on the production Of
neighboring countries might be justi.
fled as al expedient towards increas-
ing the domestic price for copper. My
feeling is that even then, however,
the only result would be to compel the
consumer of our own country to pay
more for the copper he uses without
affecting world price, thus again put
ting the American manufacturer, and
indirectly the American producer, at
a disadvantage at least in respect to
volume of business.
''The copper metal. market and price
is a world affair, just as is the mar
ket and price for wheat, and it is my
view that no tariff barrier we may en-
deavor to build around ourselves will
relieve us of world participation and
influences.

Mining JOurnaI)s
PHOENIX, May 3.-With the brass
mills operating practically up to ca
pacity, the orders for copper are flow
ing into the producers although it is
having no effect on the price. In fact,
those who are in position to know do
not anticipate any change in the cop
per situation insofar as price is con-
cerned for some time to come. The
copper producers are not nearly so
concerned about the price as they arc
to getting up to capacity production
at which time they anticipate being
able to produce at less cost.
While the brass mills are going at
capacity, a considerable dropping off
on orders placed has been reported.
This is in accordance with the general
decline in business that is taking place,
With this business decline the general
tendency of the price of raw mater
ials is to drop but copper producers
do not expect the price of copper to
follow this price decline as the i'm
dustry is better stabilized than it has
ever been in the past.
The very excellent statistical posi-
ton of copper combined with the fact
that the new Copper Export associa-
tion will be launched in the next few
weeks will further stabilize the cop
per situation and it will again open a
big buying field for the metal in Ger
many which has not been taking it's
