TROLLEY MENACED
 BY BUS SERVICE
lnterurban Cars May Eventually
 Reach Museum Niche

Is the trolley car passing into ob- livion? Will it soon join it's immc- diate ancestor, the cable car. and its grandfather, the horsecar, as ob- jects suitable only for display in museums alongside of other such extinct specimens as the dodo. the great auk. and the hustle?
 There has been a marked change in methods of city and inter-urban n transportation in Connecticut within the past dozen years. Not only have no new electrical lines been built, but number of those prcvlously in operation have been abandoned, usu- ally to be replaced by motor bus routes. New Britain has seen the change in common with the rest of the state. and there are many who believe that or wonder if the trolley is doomed.
 When it first came into use the trolley car was hailed as the final word in urban passenger transport. It was faster than the horse car, more satisfactory than the cable car. and safer than the third-rail car. Lines were opened throughout the state by many small companies. while numerous others were pro- posed but never materialized. Grai- ually centralization was brought about as the small companies falc l or were purchased. the Connecticut Co. absorbing many and building up what remains as by far the largest system in Connecticut,

where buses were able to takO 0N{V of residents on Arch street itaelf and to reach out aleng Shuttle
 Meadow avenue where the trolley rails had never darsd to crawl h spite of numerous plans for exteu. sion in that direction, 7
 The Connecticut Co. itself finally Became convinced of the superiority of the bus under certain conditions. and gradually supplanted the Berlin. trolleys with buses. When aa ai. formative route to Hartford through. Belvidere was considered, 1t was the bus and not the trolley car which was chosen as the medium. and the same was true when 1t was decided. to open second line to Merideu through Berlin. The greater flexI- bility of buses. the ease with which they can be rerouted, the cost Of laying and maintaining rails. and The greater economy of buses on lines where traffic Is not heavy have all been factors in this slowly progressing change from one type of vehicle to the other. Half-covered s'rips of metal in many places are 'Ae only remnants Of once success.

DAVIS CUP STARS TO
 TAKE CHINA IN MAY
American Players Will Tackle Those Tron, Orient on May
 .5, 20 and 27

New York, April 21 R-The members of the Davis cup team that represented the United States in the first round matches in Mexico City will have to prove again their fitness to carry the banner against China in the second round at Kansas City May 5. :6 and 27.
 The United States Lawn Tennis association yesterday decreed a new set of trials, to be held at the Triple A club, St. Louis. from May IT to 20. The squad is expected to re- port about May 14 for preliminary practice. Although the invitations will not he sent out until next week, it is probable that the same play CTS who were invited to take part in the first series Of tests are again on the list, and that at least two of those who were unable to com pete at Augusta will be present at St. Louis.
 Francis T. Hunter, doubles part ner of Captain William T. Tilden, is virtually assured of displacing Will mer' Allison as a member of the team if he decides 10 take part in the second trials. It is unlikely that Hunter will decline. since these will be the last ~tests held and the quali- tiers will play in the later rounds against Japan and in Europe if they are victorious against China.
 Another almost certain entrant is Wray Brown of St. Louis. John Van Ryn, who was unable to be at Au- gusta because of his work at Prince ton and who will be in the midst Of his final examinations at the end of May, is the only one of the players who were invited to the Augusta trials who is likely to be missing from the second series of tests.

an actual contraction of the terri, tory served by trolley. One of the first lines in this section to pass into oblivion was that summers delight. the slngle-track stretch from Lazy Lane 10 Lake Compounce. At best. this had been rather poorly oper- ated line, for it was run only dur ing the warm months and the wire carried barely enough power 10 take loaded Car up the grades. But it was a stretch of track which brought many happy moments to Those bound for the lake. and it still lives viNidly in memory. The more level route o: the Bristol X PIain- vile Electric Co. through East Bristol finally showed itself so much more economical that the Lazy Lane line was discontinued.
 Enter the Motor Bus
 Fl k" advent of the motor bus oc cured at about this time, and the trolley is still fighting what appears 10 be q losing battle against this type Of vehicle. During and just after th" World war the nation-wida fever which l.d every owner of q lllVNrr and every adyenturer with money enough 10 purchase q bus 10 run his machine over q certain route and call it a ji'ney line struck New Britain.

 Appeal was made 10 the public utilities commission and ruling was obtained which upheld the Con- nectcut company's prior claim and forbade other individuals or com panies from nncroaching upon it's territory. This sounded the kneU Of th" West Main street buses but did rot interfere with lines operating over streets not served by the troll l"ys.

Even Tn those days there were failures. One Was the line which ran from Plainville 10 Pennington som, So 10 35 years ago. There was much business between Staii old Farming ton and the growing little industries ot Plalnvllle. both towns used the same court. and the ride was so pleasant that many took it for pleasure in the summer. So for ., While the line prospered. But evil days came, business lessencd. and finally the route was abandoned, Numerous att smpts Were made to reopen the line. but none was fruit iul and finally the route, which had then long been known as "a right Of way and two strcaks of rust, passed definitely into the limbo when the rails were torn up,
 One Of the old dreams which never came true was an extension of this line through New Britain to Hartford. It was planned to bring the tracks into New Britain north Of the Connecticut co. rails and route them through Myrtle s,rc and ont tn" northern end of the town along somewhat the same course as k now used by the Hartford buses. The ap- pllcation for a charter died in the general assembly.
 East Berlin Disappointed
 Another unreali2ed scheme. but one which had for q time q bright CT outlook, was the plan to extend the Connecticut company's line to Berlin as far as Eus, Bruju. Resi- dents of the latter community peti- tioned and fought for the contjnua- tion of the rails, but the trolley company did not feel that there would be enough business to war rant such an expansion, cousider- ing that the ''dinly' line from Ser lin to Middletown handled traffic satisfactorily. A second abortive pro- posal was that made in 1903 for 4 line from kensineton 10 Berlin through the 'Tat Hole" pass.

JOHN TOLFSON, OF
 SITKA, BROWNS IN
 RECENT BAD STORM

Matt Nordness, Captain of the Virginia ", brought word to Ju- neau this morning of the accident al drowning of John Tolfson, Sitka resident, at Hogan Island during the bad storm last Saturday.
 Tolfson with two other men, was rowing to their gas boat anchored quite distance off shore, in a small skiff. The boat was swamp ed by the heavy seas and the fast current kept Tolfson from making shore. The other men were un- able to rescue him and it was with difficulty that they were able to save themselves.
 Mr.. Tolfson and his family re- sided at Douglas about three years ago. At that time he was with a herring salting concern. For the past three years he has been en- gagged in the mild cure business at Sitka. A short time ago Mrs. Tolfson and their three children left for the East on visit. The body of the drowned man had not been found up to the time the Virginia ". passed Hogan Island yesterday.

RUMANIA IS
 UNDER NEW
 GOVERNMENT I
Passes Into Hands of Peas ant Government Under
 Premier Maniu

BUCHAREST, Nov 10.-After 90 years of rule by the powerful capitalistic and landed interests, Rumania with an agrarian popula- ton of 16,000,0O0, has passed into the hands of the Peasant Govern ment under Juiiu Maniu.
 After the Regency gave him the mandate, Maniu bounded down the Palace steps declaring:
 Tt is a triumph of constitution alsm oyer despotism. In the fu- ture our country will be governed by a Parliament elected honestly by the people and not by a profes- sional clique"
 The huge crowd gave the new premier tremendous ovation.
 The choice of Maniu was after Tutuleseu failed to form gov ernment and caused profound gloom among the Linerals who had been blissfully expecting of being summoned by the Regency as the only party capable of solving the crisis.

Hl|aasa GAIN MADE BY BENJAMIN BUT
 WALKERLEADS
Race for Senator Narrows Down, Walker Chances
 Seem to Be Good

With 12 precincts missing in the First Division this afternoon, with a probably total of some 230 votes, the outcome in the Senatorial race between N. R. Walker, Democrat, of Ketchikan and Charles Benjamin, Repub- liean, of Wrangell, was the only one of which there was any doubt. And MT. Walker, with a lead of 59 votes, seemed to have a better chance of winning on the basis of the returns from the 1926 election.
 Five precincts reported during the past "A hours, Hoonah, An goon, Tenakee, Chichagof and Myers Chuck. They gave MT. Walker "A, and MT. Benjamin 230 votes. The latter's big ma jority in the five came from An goon, Hoonah and Myers Chuck.
 The returns did not affect the outcome of the House election, although it did change the stand ing of the candidates who have been successful. A. II. zeigler continued to be in first place with 2,683 votes. Grover c. Vim moved up to second place with 2,615- Allen Shattuck was third with 2,592, and was closely fol- lowed by P. c. Mccormack with 2,571. Nels Anderson was the next in order with 2,335; Paul sixth with 2,227, Ream seventh with 2.191 and Olts in last place with 2.161 votes.
 Delegate Sutherland had in- creased his lead in the Division perceptibly. He had received D. SAT and Grigsby 2,302. Rustgard had 3,255 and Truitt 1858 votes.
