VOTE ON BOULDER
DAM BILL URGED
Senator Johnson Demands
Action This SeSSion.-Real
Test Tomorrow.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Demand for q vote at this session
on the Boulder Canyon Dam bill was
made in the Senate yesterday by
Senator Johnson, Republican, Call
fornia, who, with vigorous and elo
quent strokes, pictured the threat OF
the Embarrassed Colorado River to
the thousands in the Imperial Valley
of his State.
Besides urging Congress not TO
have the fate of these people upon
it's hands. he pleaded for action to
relieve Mexican domination of an
American river" and to provide water
power, irrigation and reclamation and
flood control along the vast reaches
of the river.
Phipps Offers Substitute.
Before the Californian got the floor
to open the Senate fight for the long
sought legislation. Senator Phipps,
Republican, Colorado, chairman of the
irrigation committee, offered a sub
Stitute measure as we'll as amend
ments to the Swing johnson bill
Under the terms of the substitute
the dam could not be built until each
of the seven States in the river basin
had dratitied the Colorado River pact
Arizona has refused to ratify ana
Utah has withdrawn its ratification.
In addition, the substitute would
prohibit the Federal Government from
constructing a hydroelectric plant at
the dam but would provide for the
leasing of the water for such purposes
by the Federal Power Commission.
Discretion would be given under the
Phipps proposal to the Interior Secre-
- of
Canyon or elsewhere and to either
build an all-American canal for the
irrigation OF the Imperial Valley or
to construct other irrigation works.
Meet ArizOna's Objections.
Senator johnson also offered amend
mentS to his own bill which would
eliminate revenue raising provisions
and thus meet objections of Arizona
Senators. who are lighting it, that,
revenue legislation must originate in
the House.
Consideration of the Boulder Dam
bill lasted only a little more than an
hour yesterday, but the measure still
will be the unfinished business Mon
day. Then or later Senator Smoot,
Republican, Utah, who is an oppo-
nent, plans to move to displace it.
Senate leaders permitted the Swing
Johnson bill to be brought up so 1t
might have consideration at this SEES
sion. but not with the thought that
sufficient time could be given for a
vote before the adjournment of Con-
sress on March 4.
May Be Used as Buffer.
A situation appears to be develop
ing, however, whereby their plans to
give only a few days to consideration
of the measure may go awry. There
are in the background several pieces
Of legislation, including Muscle Shoals
and prohibition reorganization, which
a large number of Senators do not
want to come before the Senate. and
they may use the Boulder Dam bill as
a vehicle to carry out their purpose.
In opening his speech in favor Of
his measure, Senator Johnson refused
to concede that final action could not
be obtained before adjournment, He
described the bill as one seeking to
harness the Colorado River for water
power. irrigation, reclamation and
food control, and declared it intended
no invasion of AriZonas rights.

street as far as the tracks go be- fore hitting buildings on Conner cial street.
 Just what remedy can be applied to this situation remains for the fu- | ture to disclose. At the present | time, the elimination of grade cross- ings and therefore all grade tracks, is out of the question because of the prohibitive expense involved. The raising of the streets in the city 50 that traffic will pass overhead. has also been discarded as impractical ble.
 During the past few weeks. gates have been crashed here and there by autoists who have been In too much of hurry to get by but these are only few of the instances which occur annually at the cross- ings in this city.
 To those in whose hands the fu- ture of the city of New Britain rests. this will be problem that will have to be solved. Many heads have been busy at various times try ing to devise a solution. but as yet no practicable plan has been de- vised whereby the city and the rail- road can both be sure that the lives of citizens are not in danger.

Wild Animals Haunt London After Dark

London. the worlds largest city. Is still bothered by wild animals now and then owing to its rapid extension into the rural districts.
 Wild animals driven from their native haunts by the house builder come back at night to prowl about. making weird noises. which often alarm the unsophisticated resi- dents, who are mostly city reared.
 Owls hold first place as noise makers. Rabbits and hares are plentiful in all the suburbs. King ston in particular. where they gam bol on the tram lines at times. Hedgehogs abound at Wimbledon and Roehampton. and at several! points within ten miles of Plcca- dilly foxes have been sighted by motorists. Weasels, stoats, foxes. hares hedgehogs. sly badgers and slier bobcats are sighted within-the Greater London area from time to time. Even deer stray cityward from Epping forest occasionally.

PotanE Parties Now
 Banned fruu Movies

London. May - Petting party participants at the London movie theaters have been trembling in their seats because of an edict of tho cinema managers that lingering at the pictures must cease.
 The managers maintain they lose a lot of money in ticket sales be- cause hand holding lovers stay hour after hour on one admission fec. especially during damp or ,, rainy weather.
 There are two other classes of cinema patrons who cause the managers considerable worry. Per- sons extremely fond of music often stay to hear the orchestra or organ while people stand outside in queues. Another nuisance" in the managers eyes. consists of those who go to sleep.
 The managers aver that If the practice of these patrons, particu. larly the betting parties. does not deslst, they will be compelled to devise system of punching tick cts after each reel or emptying the theater each time before beginning another film.

CITY NOW HAS IA
 GRADE CROSSINGS
New Britain's Railroad.T Traffic
 Problem a Great One

The city of New Britain is known throughout the state as place where there are more dangerous railroad crossings probably than any other single community in Con- necticut. X survey shows that with the railroad lines passing right through the heart of the city. there are numerous crossings where near accidents happen every day.
 Every so often. the city is shock ed by the news that someone has been killed or badly injured at this or that crossing and the protec- ton of the public at these points where the trains run through. Is one of the biggest problems facing the railroad company and city officials.
 Slowly but surely the time is coming when elimination of the grade crossings in this city must be studied with the serious intent of eliminating them because of the congested traffic and the ever in- -ereasing number of automobiles in use.
 14 Crossings In Line
 Starting from Main street and passing either East or West, one finds in short area II railroad crossings passing over streets that are more or less extensively used by the travelling public.
 Starting from the passenger depot travelling along the Hartford line east. one comes to Elm street. Here convergenge of the main line to Hartford with the Berlin junction line and several other switching lines. makes the crossing one of the worst in the state. The crossing. it. self. Is exceptionally wide and with traffic fairly heavy at this point, automobiles and teams can do nc more than travel slowly over it in passing up Elm street.
 Further on. one comes to Stanley street. Here one passes north over the main line to Hartford while on the North side Is the junction of Franklin and Stanley streets making the crossing danger spot at all times of the day and night.
 Travelling on. the East Main street crossing Is reached. Here again in the main line to Hartford and the crossing is not thought to

be as dangerous as the others. The Smalley street crossing Is similar to that at East Main street. All of these mentioned. are protected by gates which are lowered by an at tendant on duty from a. m. to 1c o'clock midnight.
 East Street Situation
 On the same line. one reaches what is thought 10 be the most dangerous crossing in the city, where Allen street goes into East and East street continues out 10 Clayton. A warning bell has been placed here to tell of approaching trains but most of the time, this serves little in stopping autoists as they approach the spot.
 The traffic bureau of the Cham Der of Commerce has had the elim- ination of at least one of these crossings in mind for some time. A plan has been devised whereby the Allen street crossing will probably be cut out entirely and the East street crossing be retained as the only passage across the tracks at this point. This should serve to cut danger to a minimum.
 Back to the passenger station, one goes west to meet Washington street. High street and Curtis street in succession. All these are also pro- tected by gates but there is always the element of danger lurking every time a train passes by.
 On the Berlin branch line. four crossings besides Elm street are in existence. They are Church, Chest nut. Park and Whiting streets. Here because Of the continual switching which is carried on from the freight depot to the center and beyond to the various manufacturing concerns, danger to passing persons is natur-- ally increased.
 The narrow escapes, however, are not confined to vehicles. but they are counted mostly among the fac tory workmen and women. At noon or at the closing hour at night. hun dreds of people take their lives in their hands to make a dash across the tracks before a laundering ex- press train roars across.
 The railroad company has made all sorts of provisions to stop this chance taking. Warning signs have been displayed prominently in every available place. but they are of no avail. Notices have been posted that trespassers on railroad proper ty would be arrested and prescott ed. but still the tracks are used as highway.
 R. R. Co. Perplcxed
 So numerous did these thrilling close slaves become at the passen- ger depot that 1t was found neces- sary more than year ago to place high wire fence all along the rail. road company property from Elm
