THE DUMP PROBLEM

Being modern enough to be con- fronted with almost every problem that a progressive city faces, New Britain can sympathize with New Haven in it's dump problem. We also have had such a problem. and it is with us yet and will remain on hand until somebody invents a bet ter way 10 get rid of the unsavory amalgam that hinges to cities like barnaclcs to ship.
 The Now Haven Journal Courier rids itself Of the following statement of fact:
 Barnard school, near the Mead street dump. is found to be overrun with vermin: a child is bitten in bed by rats from d refuse hole in Ham, den. Visitors to New Haven lift their passing the dump in James street" One learns with satisfaction, how ever, that New Haven is making sat isfactory progress in the disposal of sewage. An elimination system "of the most modern sort is under con- l struction.
 New Britain's authorities and in , tercsted public-3piritcd citizens, who for years have been discussing and arguing about sewage disposal, might make q trip 10 New Haven and dis cover some new thoughts.

 To obtain the data will do TO harm.

 The defendants, John F. Parker, Paul M. and Clarence V. Smith, are on trial on 35 counts of embczzle- ment by trustee and agent Their counsel, Slade and Martin, contend they are not amenable to criminal prosecution, inasmuch as their con- pany and not they as individuals were the trustees in the expressed trusts created by mortgages. Numer- ous objections to admission of evi- dence on the basis of their having been the trustees were made by the defense counsel, who plan a supreme court appeal on the legal ground of company y-trustccship in the event of conviction.
 In resuming the offering of tes- timony, Hoyt presented the case of Wilbur J.

let in his hand. A note supposed ly written by him was found tell ing servants where to look for his body and warning them to beware the gas. All the circumstances, the police and coroner held, indicated suicide. This conclusion further was supported when it was dtscoN- cred that he had lost heavily in real estate speculation and was tinan- cially embarrassed,
 On receipt of the letter express ing the belief that the former Con- recticut senator had been murder ed, Senator Blcase, member oI the committee conducting the lnNeS- tigation included it in numerous letters bearing on police matters n Washington, which he turned in 10 the committee.
 While Senator Frederick M. sackett. republican, ot Kentucky, as chairman of the subcommittee, IS unable to state at this time all the specific complaints that will be ln- vestigated. the expectation is that because of the prominence of the principal, the BrandeEee matter will not be ignored. The sub-committ"e has decided to ask the department of justice for an investigator to work on several cases on which the committee desires details, and it IS probable that the Brandegee letter will be passed on 10 this investiga- tor when he is appointed.
 If this special agent quietly in vestigated the Brandegee case and found no evidence 10 justify the be- lief that he had been murdered probably nothing more would be heard of the case in connection with the committees work.
