thoritics for the stabbing Of a man

the stabbing, according to the tele-
gram.
Captain Kelly was in communi-
cation with the state police this aft
crnoon and learned that Michael had
an alteration with his brother and
the latter told the authorities OF the
alleged murder which is said to
have happened between PlainVille

New Britain General hospital for Is
years were searched and the state
police inquired at the office Of Cor
oncr J. Gilbert Calhoun, but no in
formation having a bearing on the
case could be unearthel.
Sergeant OMara recalled that
there was stabbing on Washing
ton and Lafayette street about 10
years 20. and the knife Wieldnr es-
capped, but the victim did not die.

Want TO tighten
Law ON MARRIAGE
Illinois Seeking Way to Cut
Down Divorces

Chicago. March 81 (UP)-Clli-
Cages divorce judscs-in an attempt
TO lower the higher percentage Of
divorC 9S-have drawn up a bill for
presentation to the state legislature
making marriages more difficult.
The proposal provides that an ap-
plication for a marriage license must
be filed with the county clerk five
days previous to issuance Of a mar
rage license. The judges feel such
a provision will give couples an op-
portunity TO decide whether they
are really in love or are merely VIC
tins of lnfatuations.
One of the chief sponsors of the
bin is Judge Joseph Savage, author
of "Divorce,' a play running in Chi
caeo.
Making marriage more diff cult
will eliminate between IN and 20
Per cent of our Divorces Savage

was never pressed. It.was about to
be dismissed when our legal depart
ment, looking into it. decided the suit
had merit and demanded trial. The
trial was unnecessary because the
railroad paid up the full amount with
interest, amounting TO $25,000.
In the letting of city contracts and
in the city buying, enormous savings
have resulted. AS an example, by a
changed method of buying fresh
meats for the city hospital. the saw
ing will be approximately $4,000 a
year OIL this one item. When the
county operated the city hospital,
on one purchase Of about $4,000
worth of canned goods, the difference
in price between what they paid and
what the, city paid, when we took

sion funds and, If possible, extend
them to other municipal employees.
Cleaner Streets
The same is true of the street
cleaning department. Under the
former regime there could be no
discipline here or in any other city
department, because men put in by
political pull owed no obedience or
epen loyalty to their nominal head
Now, the head of the street clean
ing department, who was always i'm
bued with a sincere desire to do his
work well, selects his. men on the
basis of fitness and the difference
shows itself very plainly in the ap-
pearance of the streets. OF course,
the cleanliness or otherwise of the
streets has an important bearing on
the appearance and health of the
city, and so you see how widespread
are the ramifications of good gov
eminent The indirect benefits Of
it are inestimable.
Colored Citizens Aided
Now as to the colored citizens. in
Atlanta, appeals to prejudice were
made: that the city manager would
bring in Negro policemen and office
holders. Here, the colored people
are being told that in some way they
will suffer from the city manager
government. In Cincinnati, \the
colored sections receive the same
treatment as every other section.
We recognize that any section badly
administered, breeds crime and sick
ness. Formerly, the streets in the
colored section were not clean, pool
rooms of a vicious character, moon
shine parlors and handbook gamb-
ling joints made the colored sections
Of the city terrible place for self
respecting colored people to live. We
have received grateful thanks Of the
colored leaders for improvements
that have been brought about.
Works to Lower Taxes
Then, it is said that the city man.
ager government in some way in
creases taxes. How can that be when
enormous economies are effected
through it? The number of city
services is constantly increasing and
additional expenditures, therefore,
became necessary. On the other
hand so great have been savings in
our own city. as an example, that
the additional service is rendered
practically without cost.
I can not give you all the details
or even state the most striking of
them, but it is no exaggeration to
say that the savings effected run
into the millions, the saving irf e

Change Toward Utilities
! We have a new attitude towards
public utilities. We expect them to
comply to the letter with their fran
chise obligations. An expert study
is the basis of contacts we expect
to make. We have appropriated
$780, 900 for the study of the gas and
electric rates and $4,000 for study
of rapid transit plans. Under the
former administration, the connec-
ton between the utilities and the
boss was closed and friendly, as wit
ness a telegram which leaked out
and in which the boss directed the
council to pass a gas ordinance, re-
ferring to the gas company, as "Our
