NEW HAVEN RAILROAD
 PROSPERITY

An inkling of the strength of the New Haven railroads position in New England was given during evil dence at Providence, and if Charles E. Bell, formerly an assistant to the U. S. director of railroads, is as much of traffic expert as one is led to believe, shippers hereabouts have much to ponder over.
 For the New Haven enjoys as much of a rail transportation mo- nopoly in New Britain as it does in Providence. It is not likely to treat New Britain better than it does Providence.
 The net operating revenue of the New Haven was testified to be greater than all other New Eng land railroads combined, although it possesses only 26 per cent of the rail mileage in this tier of states.
 That is doing pretty well - for the railroad.
 And the information that the New Haven railroad is earning more money per mile of line than either the Pennsylvania, New York Cen tral or the Baltimore & Ohio, the three strongest eastern railroads. is enough to open the eyes of any un- suspecting observer.
 The difference between the New Haven, the Pennsy the Central and the B. x O., of course, lies in the fact that the New Haven is staging comeback while the other three railroads fortunately lack this necessity. It always takes more ef- fort and earnings to pull a property out of a hole.
 Spokesmen for the railroad have often told the public that it's operating expenses were high on account of the many switches, and the towns and cities close together
 Either they have been mistaken or Mir. Bell is In error, In the face of the latter's reported testimony that the roads net operating eX- penses are lower than those of any other New England railroad, and the net cost for the average haul is less.
 We rather think Mfr. Bell has probabilities on his side, as the many cities and towns along the New Haven lines produce volume traffic, which results in low oper- ating costs per ton or car.
 But that particular part of the testimony having to do with the re- ported method Of the railroad in maintaining high rates wherever 1t is the sole available carrier, will particularly interest New Britain shippers.
 And as two experts gave similar testimony it may be- difficult for the railroad 10 disprove the claim.
 In truth, the very object of the rate Hearing would tend to buttress this claim.
 The Providence firm -- which is a large lumber corporation - has found that rates over the "only available" New Haven at Prov idence are considerably higher than to Portsmouth, N. H.. which is further away from the lumber originating centers. but is served by competing lines.

While the family was out for an airing in front of the saloon yesterday some one engaged Conrad in conversation and boy swooped down and pick ed up the prettiest marked pup, rushing off down the alley with it. The police were notified and the pup recovered. Conrad was so happy at this that he did not prosecute.
 A Herald reporter learned this afternoon that Charles L. Barnes, the coal man, is in a fair way to own trolley line. MT. Barnes has made an offer of $25.000 to James l.. Patterson of Bridgeport for the trolley line between Pennington and Plainville. This road has not been operated for over a year. MT. Barnes is satisfied that it can be put on a paying basis. The residents of Plainyille and Pennington are very desirous of seeing the road in oper- ation.

SUGAR BEETS IN
 CONNECTICUT

Secretary of Agriculture Jardlne again has told Connecticut what crops to raise, including sugar beets.
 Tobacco growers who have be- come peeyed at the tobacco market are advised to turn their high priced land into the raising of the saccharine crop, which may be profitable some years, but shows no profit at any time comparable to that obtained in good years from the growing of tobacco.
 Comes a promoter probably one Of the sort credited with fur nishing the ocean if somebody fur nishes the ship - and tells the listening sons of nicotine that beet sugar raising in Connecticut would mean the construction of a million dollar sugar refinery in Hartford.
 One of the objects of the tariff on sugar is to encourage the man. ufacture of domestic sugar, partic- ularly from sugar beets.
 The best place to grow sugar cane is in Cuba, and there it can be done at the lowest cost of pro- duction.
 But if we buy all our sugar from Cuba that would not be helping the domestic sugar industry, although many great refining plants are in the United States. We must - so it is claimed keep the tariff high enough so that our best sugar in- dustry can prosper, with the public in general paying the freight.
 Of course, we may not feel our selves paying the freight so much - except when the frugal house. wife goes to the grocery store and purchases sugar at much more than it ought to cost if only cost of pro- duction, handling and such reason able profits were considered. When she buys a lot of 1t during the fruit canning season she may wonder why the product costs so much; but per haps that feeling soon wears off.
 The chief benefits accruing to anyone in the beet sugar industry come to the beet sugar refneries. A beet sugar plant in or near Hart ford would be an asset of sorts, but nothing comparable with the gen. eral run of industrial plants in this section.
 There is no enormous competi- ton among sugar beet refneries for the raw product they need, and the monopoly price is take it or leave it."
 The refineries of course make it sufficient 10 Ensure production, but that is about all.
 It would seem to the impartial observer that there are plenty of other essentials the farmers of the valley could raise with profit. Cities in New England are import ing food products from long dis tances: let the farmers decide to furnish us with more short haul food.
 If they put as much brains be- hind such projects as they have put into the tobacco growing industry they cannot help succeeding.

the facts" The former RepreSehta-
tive had been found guilty OF accept

was the law, Mr.. Hogan said, but ne

he would personally accompany the
ward to Denmark. Mr.. Blanton apollo
gized for the oversight, explaining
that he had SO many similar docu-
ments to handle that some things
escaped his attention.
At the opening of yesterday after
Moons session. NJ. Blanton told the
committee that if it decided this
Commissioner is guilty, ] hope the
committee will find some way to re-
move him without Impeachment, as
the office he holds is not sufficiently
high to warrant the dignity of Senate
action" Chairman Graham observed
that Mr.. F'enning should first be
found guilty before the punishment is
determined.
Mr.. Blanton then introduced the
correspondence between Mr.. Fennins
and Gen. Winfield Scott, commits
sioner of pensions, in which the lat
ter held that since he became com
missioner, MIR. FenninS WAS no longer
entitled To prosecute claims for pen
sionS before that bureau.
Mr.. Weller inquired at this point
if the statutes provided that Il Com
missioner of the District must give
all his time to that office, and Mr..
Blanton replied there is no statute to
that effect.
Recent Cases introduced.
The cases handled by Mr.. FenninS
since he became Commissioner, ac-
cording to Mr.. Blanton. were intro
duced along with the court records
and copies of correspondence. They
were those of Michael t'laherty, Rich
ard NJ. Norris, Francis ID. Allen and
Charles l.. Cunningham.
what is that to proVe?" asked
Chairman Graham.
THAT Fenning is practicing before
the Government.
do you contend that Fenning has
no right to practice law?" asked Rep
resentative Perlman, Republican, New
York.
He is barred from practicing be-
fore the Government"
DO you mean he can't so into
court?" Mr.. Perlman asked.
He probably could, but I don't
think he can appear before the Dis
trict of Columbia court in cases
where the United States Government
is involved"
Mr.. Blanton was reminded by Mr.
Perlman that Senator Reed of Mis-
souri, tried q tax case in court. and by
Mr.. Hogan that Senator Walsh OF
Montana "ably" defended Senator
Wheeler.
There is no question about the
right of an official to appear in court,

Several members shook their heads
and mumbled Mo-
ON motion of Representative Weller
of New York the matter was put to
vote and the maiority decided
against Mr.. Blanton's plan. He then
ceased his reading.
Before the vote was taken, Repre-
sentative Christopherson, South Da-
kota, suggested Mr.. Fenning could
he put on the stand in place of read
lng' the testimony, but Mr.. Blanton
declared: He won't testify if he
doesn't want to-
Chairman Dyer said when the time
came for Mr.. Fenning to take the
stand that matter would be gone into
and Mr.. Hogan assured the commit
tee 1t would not be necessary to de.
eide anything as Mr.. Fenning would
testify
Mr.. Hersey suggested that the only
thing in the Ernbjerg report that the
auditor didn't know about was the
commission on bond premiums, but
Mr.. Blanton declared, II contend it
was improper for F'enning to conceal
from the court the fact that he was
going to Denmark when he had a
hundred wards to look after over
here"
Mr.. Hogan, taking the official docu-
ment, read a paragraph to the effect
that Mr.. F'enning informed the court
