DICK HUBE LEADS
 LOOP IN SCORING
Outsider Shows Way in Junior
 Church Court League

4 complete outsider. Dick Hube Of the Center Congrega tional church, is leading tho Junior Church basketball league in scoring after three weeks Of play. according 10 figures com piled by league officials. Hube. whn finished far down the list year ago, has started this season with a rush. guard position in his first game an l nine more as q forward during his second. These Y points give him a bare lead over Russell Hanna and David Smythc, St. Marks Episcopal players. who have l 6 apiece, while kraut of the Trinity Methodists and Gordon Ely, another Center church youngster are deadlocked for fourth place with 15 each.
 Thestrange feature of this is tha: no member of either of the two lead ing teams appears in the first five. This is due to the fact that the First Lutherans have split up the points in their two games, with the result that no one big scorer has emerged, while the South Congregational church has played only one game At that, Lawrence Stanley Of the South church collected fl points in that one game and is only one point away from the five leaders. The tail-end First Baptists have played three games but have no one among the high scorers.
 Hube and Hanna are leading in field goals with eight apiece. while Ely and Ray Mahan Of the Metho- dists top the foul shooters with five successful attempts each. The first five scorers

 Bill Clancy, who was to have been manager of the New Britain Roller Hockey club had the game been brought to this city this season, is in the dark regarding the proposed team to be set up in Meriden. Clancy stated last night that he had no knowledge of the transfer of players other than what was read in the published accounts of the AL bany meeting.
 It is possible that Owner Jack Arute, who is in Massachusetts on road work at the present time, has Bold his franchise in the league, but this has been questioned by Clancy because he hasn't been notified Of any such action.
 If the franchise hasn't been sold. then there is colored gentleman in the woodpile as far as the Merl- den deal is concerned.
 Discrepancies arising In the story emanating from Meriden are ap- parent to New Britain people who have been following the situation.
 It has been stated that Meriden purchased Arthur (Kid) Williams, Earl Pierce. Bib" Boucher and Bill Jette from the local club. In the first place, Jette was not the property of the New Britain club so it is a puzzle to figure out how he could be sold by the local man. sgement. No knowledge has been made public Of any deal whereby the other three have been pur- chased by the Mcriden club. There fore, how can they be sold or traded?
 We are becoming convinced that the American Roller Hockey league will have d precarious Toyage through the season and we feel safe in predicting that the life of the league will be short. There has been go much changing around from the original allegedly definite plans of the league that it is getting so that the league changes it's complexity every day.
 Whether there is concerted movement 10 ease the New Britain owners out of the league or not, cannot be ascertained until Arute comes home from Massachusetts to- morrow. If there is such a move ment on foot, then the instigators. if we know Jack Arutc, will have pretty fight on their hands.
 Jack Arut5 stated recently that there was no hall available in the city for roller hockey. He explained that the halls were available but the expenses Ill connection with the operation Of a roller hockey team in any Of them was prohibitive. He had planned to operate his team in Kingston. N. r., until such a time as there might be an available play ing surface here and then the team would be returned to this city.
 AS 1t is, no one seems to know much about anything in connection with the roller hockey situation at the present time.

HOME ELECTRIC USE
ROSE 1873 PCT. IN JULY
Increase of 1877 Per Cent for First
Half Of Year Noted by
Banking Firm.
sn.cial nisnatch 70 rhs STAR.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, September 22.-The
trend In home use Of electricity for
power and light was definitely upward
for the country as a whole in July this
year, according to an analysis made by
Stone 81 Wester and Blodget, Inc,
showing electric sales for domestic uses
in July 1873 per cent above sales in
July, 1929, while domestic sales in the
first half of 1880 were 1877 per cent
above the 1929 period The improve
ment in July even exceeds that of a
year ago, when July domestic sales
were 1913 per cent above July, 1928,
totals.
These figures are evidence that resi-
Dental sales of current have acted as
stabilizer of the power and light in
dustry, according to the bankers. Dur
ing a depression period, domestic sales
of electricity help to maintain revenues
and earnings which otherwise would
register declines similar to those in rail-
roads, manufacturing concerns and
other industries.
The increasing domestic sales, the
bankers feel, are largely due to the
"inducement rates" initiated by a
growing number of companies. These
rates permit consumers to effect sub
stantial economies by making a larger
use of current for various purposes and
have attracted additional consumers In
periods of depression because of the
economies in household expenses which
are possible by changing to electricity
from other fuels or motive power.

CONGRESS EXPECTED TO ACT
ON REGULATORY MEASURES

the commission said in effect. that
holding companies were calculating an
ownership consolidation of railway lines
in some instances where the commission
had declared that from an operative
viewpoint, such consolidation was not in
public interest.
contrary viewpoint to that taken
by the commission was strongly stressed
to the effect that ownership of railway
stocks, in whomsoever vested, in no
way abridges the authority of the In
terstate Commerce Commission to reg
ulate railways from the operative
standpoint.
An attempt was made during the last
session to maintain the present status
of the main issues until such time as
Congress may match stride with the
progress of events. Stop-gap legislation
was proposed to expand the Power
Commissions authority TO issue per-
mits and to prevent delaying further
railway consolidation authorizations by
the Interstate Commerce Commission,
and to stop the merging of unit banks
into great holding companies.
Government Control Bills.
The calendars of both houses will be
crowded with bills to impose Govern
ment regulation upon business. One
method proposed is that of licensing.
The Watson bill proposing a compre-
hensive program of Government regula-
ton of the coal industry, and the
Establishments bill are typical of this
method.
Mainly, however, the proposals would
create regulatory commissions. Typical
of these is the Couzens proposal for
control of power service rates and the
issuance of power company securities
Measures to regulate the routes and
rates of air transport lines, similar to
railway regulation, will be, also, before
the new Congress.

GRADUAL TRADE GAIN
IS SEEN BY MOODY
Business Expert Believes Bottom
Of Depression Has Now
Been Reached.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, September %. - Bust
ness is not due for a marked improve
ment over the next few months, in the
opinion of John Moody. president or
Moodys Investors Service, who today
issued statement on the immediate
general outlook. He declared, however,
that the approximate bottom of the de-
preston has already been reached.
I'VE are now in the trough of the
depression Mr.. Moody said land the
suggestion makes itself felt, both from
the course of the autumnal business
this far and from a study of the funda-
mental causes of the depression, that
this trough may be In the shape Of
rounded curve rather than V-shaped.
i feel practically certain that mat
tiers cannot become worse, but the APP
parent broad character of the trough
also forces the thought that they are
not apt to get surprisingly better over
the next two or three months. AS a
tentative conclusion, which can only be
definitely confirmed by the events of
the coming four or five weeks, do not
believe business is likely to become so
much better before Winter that it will
be broadly recognized as such. I'm
provement that might occur in the in
terval is apt to be slow and gradual.
To try to determine In advance which
is or has been the lowest month in the
whole depression does not matter much
az this stage. The important point Is
tnat we are near that lowest month
right now. Either 1t is Just behind or
Just ahead of us, and although the sub
sequent upturn may be ever so grad
ual in making its appearance, we are
very close to such subtle turn in con-
ditions."

Many measures dealing with economic
questions are scheduled to come UP for
consideration at the next session of
Congress Several of these appeared in
the last session, and seek to tighten the
regulatory powers of the Government in
many directions, the majority of them
authorizing regulatory commissions.
For instance, at the last session the
Senate Committee on Interstate Com
merce spent months conducting hear
control, various phases of railway con-
solidation and the regulation Of power
companies.
Banking Survey.
The Senate Committee on Banking
and Currency, at the last session, was
intent on summary action in relation to
credit policies of the Federal Reserve
System, but apparently came to the
conclusion nothing could be accom-
plished by hasty action, and authorized
a survey of this question to be under
taken at the next session.
In the House the Banking and Cur
rency Committee spent several months
considering various proposals with re-
spect to branch, chain and group bank
ing. No definite decision was arrived
at, and this problem will undoubtedly
be considered early again.
The situation with respect to railway
legislation is similar in many respects.
After years of considering legislative
proposals to permit and expedite volun-
try mergers, the House Committee on
Interstate Commerce spent most of its
time at the last session exploring the
question whether or not the Interstate
Commerce Commissions regulatory
powers should be expanded to the regu-
iation of holding companies. In re-
port to Congress early in the session,
