"The new governor general has Of this (the Philippine) problem and his formulas are already in print" said Mir. Anderson. There Is hard ly any doubt that at an early date We will see greater autonomy for the Filipinos and the introduction of the parliamentary system of gov crnment which long has been the desire of Senator Osmena."
 Representative of the favora ble comment was the statement Of Hor- ace B. Pond. president of the Pa cific Commercial company. the larg- est American firm in the islands. He said:
 T consider Col. Stimson an ex- ccllent man for the post of gover- nor general. He will be q most able successor to General Wood"
 The Filipinos generally seemed pleased with the appointment. Man uel RoNas. speaker of the house of representatives, declared the presi- dents action was no surprise, since the administration and Stimson him. self had been told by Senators Que zon and Osmana in Washington that such an appointment would be agreeable to them.
 While the present views of Mir Stimson on independence do not CO., incide with those of the Filipino people, his selection evidences a de- sire on the part of the administra- ton at Washington to bring about a better adjustment of relations ' RoXas said

BABIES BUT
 MORE CARRIAGES
This Is Found in Survey Made
 in London

London, Dec. 14. Rl-Brltish ba- bies, despite q falling birth rate, are booming the perambulator busi- ness. Never was trade in baby carriages so flourishing as today.
 Makers Of the infant run-abouts are rejoicing. One ''pram" manu- facturer discloses that his factory has doubled in size since the war. and eight new branches have been opened in London. Other manu- lecturers testify that their busi. nesses are more prosperous than ever.
 Credit for the boom is given largely by cart makers to the sec ond child in the family. A new vehicle now is purchased for humber two,' and the first pram is assigned to trundle home the groceries or house the cat and kit tens.
 The workiDgman as well as the capitalist is providing more trans portation facilities for his young sters, reports show. The parent of today, merchants find, is less inclined to purchase expensive in fant coaches, but he insists on hay ing a carriage for each baby.
 You can be sure" added one dealer, that nobody buys baby buggy unless there is a good req son for it.

 Sails lncognito

New York, Dec. II P,-Captain Walter G. Hinchcliffe, one time pilot of Charles A. Levine's transatlantic plane Columbia, is in the United States solely for his health.
 Located in conference with Levine. the British war ace said he had con- tracted an attack of quinsy. and took the sea trip to recuperate and to avoid communicating the illness to his daughter. Hinchcliffe, who ar rived in Boston incognito Monday, said he planned to sail tonight for England on the Berengaria.
 Both Levine and Hinchcliffe last night described as unfounded ru- mors that the visit was prompted by disagreement between them over financial arrangements. and an- nouncement that the flier was to re- turn tonight was taken as nesa- tive answer to the belief of aviators

5000 MILL WORKERS CONSIDER WAGE CUT
AmOskeag, One Of Worlds Big
 geSt Concerns, SlasheS Pay

Manchester, \. H.. Dec. 14 (UP) -Representatiye of the approXi- mately 5000 employes of the Amos keag Manufacturing company to- day were to consider q 10 per cent wage reduction announced by the management last night to take ef feet Christmas eve.
 The textile workers representa- tives may accept the cut without reservation, accept it under protest. or voice disapproval and vote to strike. There was no indication as to what their action would be.
 Amoskeag is one of the biggest cotton textile concerns in the world.
 Tn announcing the wage cut, Agent W. Parker Straw declared it's purpose was not 10 reduce earnings but to reduce costs-action which he described as "an absolute neces- sity."
 "The present Amoskeag company is handicapped as never before by bond issue of s14.GG5,O0O and the in- terest on this amounting to sS79,00G must be paid annually" he said. This fact. together with competi- ton by mills more favorably situat- ed. makes the reduction. reGrettable as it is. absolutely imperative
 Amoskcag's last wage reduction was one of 10 per cent in 1924.
 Straw said that the company would reduce it's tenement rents 10 per cent to lessen the burden on workers resulting from the latest wage cut.
 The Am oskeag wage reduction followed closely wage cuts in 10 Maine mills.

LOafcrs Are AS~ailcd

Prosecuting Attorney Woods asked for a conviction, saying Martino and his witnesses had attempted to prac- tiCe deception. Graduates of Che shire" frequent the pool room and Nartino sells liquor, bringing it there in small amounts. A delegation Of frequenters was in the gallery be- fore court until they were ordered 'to get out and go to work" by the prosecuting attorney who told Judge Sake they are "loaiers." Whether

Martino knew the alcoholic content Of the cider or not, he is guilty under the law and must pay the penalty, MT. Woods said.
 Attorney McDonoush admitted that Martino was technically guilty us 10 the cider, but Judge Hunger ford and Judge Alling formerly made q practice of disposing of such cases by imposing s25 fines. There has been no evidence that liquor has been sold or is kept for sale in the pool room, he contended. and as 10 the reputation, Sergeant OMara testified that some of the boys he saw on the premises have good regulations. IL was unfair 10 clear the gallery as the prosecuting attorney had done, for If some of the patrons of the pool room had beer present when Mr. Woods called them "loafcrs" they might have been able to make reply. Everyone accused in q criminal case is entitled 10 d pub lie trial, the attorney said. He was not surprised that Martino and his NIlllfSS'S NtiN 4lON gTIitNti pN t44' prosecuting attorney, as it is the practice of the latter to disbelieve everyone who testifes for the de fense.
 Lawyers In Clash
 Mir. Woods replied hotly and for q time the issues in the liquor case were lost sight of. This attorney is resortng 10 cheap trickery by claim ing the gallery should not be cleared" he said. Why I held up court this morning to give him time 10 get out Of bed
 Now, Mir Woods, that is entirely uncaled for" Attorney McDonough replied Your Honor, this man is the cheapest prosecutor I have ever seen in any police court"
 Your Honor, I'm closing for the state" MT. Woods said to Judge Saxe.
 "Yes, and I will reopen for the defense if Your Honor will permit me-" the attorney said. Turning to the prosecuting attorney. he ex- claimed: You'd starve if it wasn't for this job.'
 Judge Saxe called the disputants to order, remarking that there was no need of indulging in personali- ties. as the case had been properly presented and properly defended. He said the defense had not explained away the presence of the alleged al cohol in the pool room, but had raised a doubt and Martino was en- titled to it's benefit. Therefore he could not be found guilty in that re- spect, but as 10 the cider, there was no question of the violation.

STAR CHAMBER MEETINGS

Two star chamber meetings took place In the city last night, the why and the wherefore of which is not clear.
 The police commissioners held a secret meeting-that is, one at which representatives of the press were not admitted; and the memorial con- mittee of the Common Council like wise also held such a meeting.
 Both departments of the city gov ernment are dealing with public business and expending public funds.
 There is no need for star cham Der meetings in this city. If the of- ficials have anything to hide the re- porters denied access to the meetings will learn all about it anyway.
 Star chambering is a poor way of controlling public sentiment. The chief thing about closed, secret meetings is they arouse unwhole- some suspicion in the public mind. The mayor should see to 1t that they are abolished.

 What Mrs. Hemway Repeated-I suppose you've heard about the ter rible fight the Wickhams had? No? Well, it seems that Mrs. Wickham wanted to buy a new hat and her husband refused. They fought, and that brute of a husband struck her again and again-till she was blue all over. Amt it awful, Edith? Such men ought not to. be permitted 70 live!

CURING TRAFFIC JAMS

Bostonians the other day were confronted with one of those traffic reports by an expert to which municipalities have hard time in getting accustomed. He was called in to help untangle the traffic snarl at place called Governor square, where automobiles, pedestrians and traffic police vainly endeavor to make headway, especially during the rush hours.
 All the traffic expert told observ- ing officials was that too many im- portant streets converge at one point in this case six. Naturally six lanes of traffic cannot meet without caus- ing troublesome jams.
 To rectify such a sorrowful condi- tion, the expert propounded, it was merely necessary to construct sever- al traffic thoroughfares, or boule- wards, that would avoid converging at Governor square, so that the on. rushing motorists would not be com pelled to enter into the maelstrom of congestion.
 Simple, isn't it. It is something we all think of, but it takes a high priced traffic expert to convince us of the advisability of taking action.
 Boston is not the only city where such conditions exist. Right in the center of New Britain we have a condition where traffic lanes con- verge, and as the city grows larger the difficulties will vastly increase. Ultimately there will have to be &C., ceptable traffic thoroughfares that will enable autoists to avoid cruising around the Center every time they wish to cross the city; but we have no doubt nothing will be done aboul It until some future day 1t becomes necessary to call in some expert to convince us that it is the only thing to do under modern conditions. Our guess is that this will occur within ten years; at least, not later than 70 years. Meantime, worry along.

DEATH OF GEORGE LANDERs

News of the death of George M. Landers, which occurred early this morning was received in the offices of this newspaper as 1t probably will be about the city. with feeling Of distinct loss. MT. Landers, though he had not been active in New Britain circles of late was well and favor ably known here. He was unques- tionably most popular, having been able to weld political parties Of the community into unit and having been, at one time, elected mayor of the city without opposition.
 Son of an illustrious line of for bears, he became illustrious himself, achieving popularity that is &C., corded to few in walk of life simi- lar to that into which he was born. He entered politics for the love of the game, not for what he had to gain, which is attested to by his choice of parties, he being a demo- crat, ultimately. Had he desired po- litical advancement only he could easily have entered the ranks of the republican party and achieved his ambitions. He had the desire for winning advancement through per- sonality and regard for the choice of the voters however, and he travelled further along the political path than do most democrats.
 Doubtless those who know George Landers, or remember his person. ality, will join us in an expression of regret that he was called from us.

TREE PLANTING ALONG STATES HIGHWAYS

One sits back with a sigh of sat isfaction at contemplating the plans of the state highway department to continue the work of beautifying state roads through the planting of shade trees, shrubbery and flower ing plants, which was inaugurated last year.
 As soon as the frost leaves the ground the work will be resumed this year, Highway Commissioner Macdonald has announced, and bids have been asked of beautifying con- tractors for 800 trees as this years contribution to the campaign, in ad- dition to supplementary bids for shrubbery and Towering projects.
 This work meets with vast pub lie approval. Next to motoring along a well-paved road, the appearance of trees along it's ribbons of asphalt or concrete makes the finest i'm pression. If anything, they will counteract the inartistic and blatant shrlekings of bilboards and signs. Of which there are plenitude.
 For generations the splendid trees along New England roads have placed them in good repute with travellers. This exalted reputation must not be lost; it has been earned in the past and must continue to be earned in the future. Shaded roads not only add to the pleasures of mo- tor travel, but they beautify and en- nance the surrounding properties; they turn a thing of transportation utility into a thing Of beauty as we'll.
 The expenditure involved is slight the returns will be large. The high way commissioner declares it is the policy to continue the good work until all the bare spots along the state highways are obliterated. This Will take years. but can be done if each year sees 800 or thousand ad- dltlonal trees planted. Fortunately the tree contractors must likewise contract to care for them for the

WONIEN'S RIGHTS

It's the women who know values; it's the women. bless their souls, who know a bargain when they see 1t: it's the women, lovely women, who know what's theirs and are ready to stand up like a man beg pardon, like a woman-and demand their rights.
 Take, for instance, the woman who unattended by counsel appeared in police court to answer a charge of selling alcohol at her house being acquitted, we hasten to add, in record time.
 Discharged; no evidence of a sale," interrupted the judge as the customary harangue was going on.
 Most men-indeed, every man we know of-would have been so grati- fled at the discharge that they would have courted breaking a leg in the hurry to chamber down the steps to the freedom-scented outside air.
 Not so this woman. She wanted to ask just one more question, to wit: Where was the alcohol that the police seized? She wanted 1t back, had paid out her good money for 1t and 1t was her property.
 Absolutely correct. Not even the police can seize property without recompense. Due process of law had found her not guilty of any wrong doing; and this fact, so the fem mine mind reasoned, again made her mistress of her own property.
 We repeat. women know what's coming to them. They are not afraid to speak their minds, even to the prosecutor or the police where the question Is one of property rights.
 Alcohol is valuable, if 1t is good alcohol and functions well for an al- cohol rub now and then. The police are not supposed to be suffering from rheumatism.
