TESTS 0F SEWERAGE CALLED STATE DUTY
E1-Mayor Quigley Objects to
 City Risking Funds
ANSWERS WADHAMS' NOTE
Would Have Connecticut Build Ex- perimental Plant in Berlin, Which If Successful, Could Be Bought By New Britain.

If MT. Wadhams is positive that New Britain's sewage problem is easy of solution and that any oi the known systems would easily take care of New Britain sewage. why not let his commission build the disposal plant and if 1t is successful turn it over to the city and let the city pay for it?"
 Ex-Mayor George A. Quigley to- day asked this question in reply to statement made last Saturday by s. H. Wadhams, engineer for the state water commission in which Mir. Wadhams, in effect, declared that KIT. Quigley had reached er- proposed expenditure of $2,0O0,0oO for the solution of the sewage prob lem in this city.
 Believes in Caution
 The ex-mayor decried the fact that there was a belief that the city was going to fall down in a public service to the state. He said: New Britain has done more in the matter of attempting to solve the problem of sewage disposal than any other city in Connecticut for this city has never failed In it's duty to it's peo- pie, the state or nation. I don't be- lieve that New Britain will fail now, but I don't believe that we should be rushed Rto something before we know what we are doing."
 In his letter MT. Wadhams criti- cized Mir. Quigley for his campaign against the expenditure of all or a part of the s2,O00,o and said that any of the known systems would take care of New Britain.
 He said he had read of Mr. Quig- ley's declaration that he would op- pose the appropriation for a sewage disposal plant from the floor of the common council if the members would give him permission to speak and of Mir. Quigley's talks before civic clubs.
 Trade Wastes in Sewers
 Mr. Quigley's answer. in full fol- lows:
 T differ with Engineer Wadhams regarding trade wastes not being a great problem. Mir. Wadhams states that great part of the factory trade wastes have been eliminated from New Britain sewage. I know that a portion has been eliminated but not the bulk.
 Another factor that MT. Wad- hams has not taken into considera- ton in his letter of the goth is the waste from garages. The great prob lem of sewage disposal is the de- struction of sewage bacteria by trade wastes and oils. If the bacteria is killed then no system that Mir Wadhams or any other engineer can build or any of the present known systems cah operate successfully.
 "The attitude of MT. Wadhams and others In trying to force the issue of sewage disposal upon New Britain before comprehensive sys- tenn is laid before the people of this city is in itself peculiar.
 Tn regard to the costs of a sew age disposal plant have never made the statement that a proper system would cost $2,000.o00. l merely protested against the issu- ance of s2,O00,00O in sewer bonds

Proprietor of Plainyille Road Place, Disheartened by Repeated Bur- glaries, Turns Key in Door and Gives Up Business.
Special to the HeraId)

Plainville, Aug. 23-Thieves made three breaks on the New Britain road last night. wrecking the safe in the office of the Connecticut Quarries Co. at White Oak and ef- fecting entrance into Tator's filling station near Cook street and the Colonial filling station across the highway from it. The largest haul was made at Tator's where two radios and several smaller articles of merchandise were. stolen, the loss being estimated at about s250. At the Colonial station the gasoline tanks were drained, but there was no money in the safe at the quarry and the burglars had no reward for their efforts there.
 The small office at the quarry was closed yesterday afternoon about 5 o'clock. and no employees of the firm were there until this morning, when the wrecked safe was discovered. The thieves had gained entrance by breaking the lock on the door and had ripped open the safe with a pick-axe, con- pletely wrecking it. The safe con- tained only the payroll records and other similar papers being kept there by the company.
 The local authorities notified the New Britain police. who informed them that the quarry was outside of New Britains Jurisdiction and advised calling the state police. This was done and state officers were on the scene this morning.
 Station Owner Sleeps Nearby
 l.. s. Tator, proprietor of the fill ing station which suffered the more heavily, did not lock up last night until about 11:SO o'clock, and he said today that it was midnight be- fore he went to bed. He lives in a cottage next to his place of business, but none of the family heard noises which aroused their suspicious. Passing trucks maintain a fairly steady din all night and the family has grown accustomed to nocturnal

'@HR9AlDE BUSINESS
AT ASk0V is SOLD
Deal Closed Yesterday Whereby
Askov Garage, Inc, Becomes
Owners of Local Hardware
Store.

The Askov Garage, Inc, which has.
been building up a fine business the
last couple of years, took another big
step in the local business world when
they consumed the entire hardware
and implement business owned and
managed for number of years by
Carl Miller. The purchase consists
of all merchandise on hand as we'll
as the three buildings and five lots.
The actual transfer will become eff
fective June list.
The Askov Garage will at that time
move their Ford automobile business
up to the hardware buildings and con-
sequently leave vacant their present
location.
Before venturing into this new en-
terprise the Askov Garage sold con-
siderable amount of stock in their
incorporation to Jorgen r. Petersen
and his brother-in-law, Jess Petersen.
When the change is made June 1st,
Jorgen r. Petersen will take charge
V. S. Petersen who is financially in
terested in the undertaking, will not
take any active part in the new en-
terprise but will remain as cashier of
the bank. The rest of the Askov
Garage force will move right with
the business.
Carl Miller will continue the bus
mess until June 1st, and in the mean
time lay plans for the future At the
present time he is undecided as to
what his next move will be, but his
many friends here will surely be
pleased to see him start up a new
business if he should so decide, and
many will regret very much to see
him leave the hardware business as
he has built UP a fine trade and had
the confidence of his many customers.
The new owners, however, are also
men of ability and integrity and will
carry on, maintaining that bigger
volume of business should make for
less overhead expense proportion
ately.

Washington, April 6.-War alarms
sound again in the nations capital,
but not loud enough to disturb the
chatter over tea cups. Sturdy mar
ines go marching to transports and
thence to Chinese battlefields to pro-
tect American Interests. Except for
activities at Marine Headquarters, the
Navy Department and the Depart
ment of State, there is relatively moth
ing to indicate that this country is
modifying fighting units and that
hundreds of our fellow countrymen
are in a situation similar to the
plight of the Belgian refugees flying
from danger This is not moralizing,
merely bare statement of fact.
Reporting the facts shows that the
President and his cabinet are grave
ly considering the foreign develop
ments. Responsibility is placed in
their hands. They have information
from official sources that is not al
ways given to the public The Chi
nese crisis has dwarfed interest in
the Nicaragua military and naval ex-
petition exploits. Some who take
Oriental and other foreign affairs
seriously and conservatively, feel that
the present affairs is nothing short of
a prelude to future armed strife on,
a large scale. 1t is a problem of
the first magnitude to make clear to
the peoples of other nations and cur
own folks that fhp solo oh iacf of This
government is to afford the utmost
protection for American life and pro-
perry rights without resorting to ac-
tual combat.
In other years the shutdown of
coal mines and the calling of a strike
among coal miners would have pro-
voked widespread confusion and
alarm. Opinion here is to the effect
that the controversy will be confined
to the operators and miners of union
soft coal mines with the country look
ing on indifferently. Though the
strike order affects approximately
175,00e workers it is not as far-reaeh-i
ing as former shut-downs. Govern
ment officials squelch the rumor that
the strike will endanger the operations
of industry.
1t is pointed out that non-union
mines have grown so that they can
easily approach the ordinary demand
for soft coal. Besides, the increase
in hydro-electrical horsepower has
nearly trebled, which replaces power

St Paul, Mimi, April 5.-"Go way
back and sit down." said the Mime
sofa house of representatives to the
Minnesota senate, when the latter
asked the house to join with it in en-
towering the Schall investigation
committee to complete its hearings
after the legislature has adjourned.
The hearings have dragged to such
an extent that the committee came to
the conclusion that they would not be
able to hear all of the witnesses and
make their report prior to adjourn
ment, April 81, so they went before
the senate and asked for authority to
complete the hearings later and file
their report with the secretary of
state. After an extended debate the
senate granted the request by passing
joint resolution to that effect, but the
house had to concur i'm such a pro-
ceeding and when the resolution
reached the house that body turned
it down by a vote of 50 to %. Rep
resentative Norton, the house leader,
who is chairman of the house rules
committee, to which the resolution
was referred, reported it back Thurs
day with the Recommendation that it
be Indefinitely postponed.
The resolution was not a house
matter and did not provide for joint
committee" he said at would join
the house in the investigation with
out giving the house representation on
the committee. There are two and
one half weeks left. If the. senate
committee gets down TO business. they

Said he:
Senator Schall was assured he'd
be given a chance to defend himself.

anxious to have this investigation
halted now, so he can go up and down
the state getting sympathy, saying
he has not been given - an equal
chance to present his side. He
might not be able to do this if the
entire case was presented"
Yes" interrupted Representative
Neuman of Wheaton, but don't you
think the senate can get through
within the next three weeks?"
mo, l don't think so. The COM
mittee says it cannot" replied Mr..
Spindler. 81 don't think the commit
tee is going to soldier on the job
and don't enjoy the prospect of the
public paying expenses of an interim
committee, but we have started and
we should finish If Senator Schall
is innocent, we should show the world
that Minnesota is represented by an
honorable man. Senator Schall should
be given a clean bill of health if he
is innocent"
The wrangling continued, with
Spindler, Nellermoe of Minneapolis,
Iverson of Ashby, Starkey of st. Paul
and others urging adoption of the res
olution, and Norton of Minneapolis,
Neuman of Wheaton, Dahle of Spring
Grove and others opposing it vigor-
ously. Most of the % who supported
the resolution are Farmer-Laborites.
As result of this action, the SEN
ate Investigation committee will now
put on full speed and attempt to COM
plete the hearing before the adjourn
ment of the legislature. There are
five members of the committee and a
majority will have power to conduct
the hearings, which will henceforth
be held at all hours of the day in
some committee room. 1t is said that
the Schall side has subpenaed some
40 witnesses and the opposition some
25. 1t is probable, however, that the
testimony of most of the witnesses
will be brief nothing like that of
A. N. Jacobs, who has held down the
witness chair ever since the hearings
began. except Thursday night, when
Frank Corneaby gave his testimony.
Corneaby is the man who brought
the bootleggers and blindpiggers to
Jacobs at the Schall headquarters in

Freight shipments give true picture

For instance, charges have been open

The thousands of school children
and other visitors who take advantage
of excursion rates at the Easter sea-
son will be greatly disappointed this
year. The repairs to the White House
prevent inspection of the interior for
several months. And, the average
American youngster cherishes an am
bition to visit this home of homes
sometime. 1t is barely possible that
some arrangement may be made to
allow partial inspection for the school
children, at least.
The White House officials are send
ing out stereotyped replies to thou
sands of invitations addressed to the
President. No decision has been made
as to where he will spend the sum-
mer months. An official of the Secret
Service is now away inspecting pro-
posed summer White Houses and
much depends upon his recommends
tions. There are many important fac
tors which govern the selection other
than political gain.

Double Tracks May be Extended

Stoiberg Being Ill; Judge Ener-
SON to Preside.

A chimney fire caused considerable
damage at the home of Phil Silesky
last Saturday afternoon. Both Mr..
and Mrs. Silesky had left the house
for short time and wood fire which
had been started, heated I'D the Chin
ney to such an extent that the roof
of the house was set on fire. Clark
Pennington who was passing, first no.
ticed the fire and turned in the alarm.
The fire department arrived promptly
and when Mr.. and Mrs. Silesky re-
turned they found several hundred
neighbors busily carrying out furni-
ture. However, the fire was extin-
guished after a fight, although con-
siderable damage was done to the
furniture and to the house by the
water.
A business mems meeting was held
last Saturday afternoon to discuss
plans and make arrangements for the
celebration on the opening of High
way No. 1. Representatives from
Duluth and st. Paul were present and
assured the local business men that
should such a celebration be held,
large crowds would come from those
two cities. The date of the cele-
1, as it is not expected that the road
will be completed before that date.
A committee of two was appointed to
confer with the business mems organ
izations of ST. Paul and Duluth in
making preliminary arrangements.
The two appointed were Phil Silesky
and Clint Boo.
The Northern Pacific railway COM
pany will make some changes in their
tracks south of Pine City during the
coming summer The track will be
Strengthened and the grade cut down
to some extent. Double tracks will
probably be put in or extension made
of the present double tracks for dis
lance of about one mile. The neces-
sary land will be secured from Robert
Wilcox, Mrs. Catherine Prizes, and
Joseph Plessel.
Charles Spearing, one of the old
time settlers of Pine City, died sud-
u6iily dI Ills IO1lc mere. MI. Sp0dItuS
was past seventy years of age and
had lived in Pine City for over thirty
five years. For many years he had
served as section foreman for the Nor
thern Pacific railroad, which position
his son, Fred Spearing, now holds.
Nora Nordrum, sister of Oscar Nord-
rum who lives east of Pine City on
the ST. Croix road, died at Glen Lake
Sanitarium in Minneapolis, last Mon
day. The body was brought to Pine
City on Tuesday and funeral services
were held on Wednesday afternoon.
Owing to the fact that Judge Alfred
p. Stolberg is still in the hospital,
Judge Albert Emerson will hold, dis
trict court on April II, at 10 O'Clock.
That the court will have long and
strenuous session is evident when one
looks at the calendar. Sixty-four
cases are listed and unless some are
settled out of court, the session will
run well over three weeks. There are
several railroad cases to be heard,
as result of the wreck near Duluth
last fall, when a Great Northern train
hit a street car. Seven of these cases
have been brought to Pine county.
