Additional Terms For
 Escaped Convicts
Moulthrope and Landry Sentenced to From g to 2s Years.--Chsrged
 on Two Counts

Watson Moulthrope and Leo Lan- dry. who. with Roland Lalone, escap- ed from Wethersfield states prison. were caught in Jacksonville, Florida, and brought back to Connecticut af- ter Lalone and Moulthrope had been convicted O. murder and sentenced to life imprisonment in Florida. made what will in all probability be their final appearance in q court of justice, Friday. Should they ever again be free they will be old men. From fwenty-three to twenty-five years were added to the sentences they are already serving.
 The two men were brought before Judge Jennings of the superior court at Hartford. As Lalone Is serving q life sentence he was not arraigned on n further charge. Both men plead guilty to escaping from prison and to the theft of an automobile in Rocky Hin. On the first count the court imposed term of ten years to start at the expiration of their present sentences. On the second count a sentence O. from thirteen to fifteen years was imposed to begin at the end o1 the ten years sentence.
 Moulthrope. who is twenty-four, has twenty-four more years to serve on q charge of burglary. If he lives to satisfy the sentences he will be over seventy years old when discharged from prison. The life sentence in Flsrida will still stand against him.
 Landry is twenty-seven. He would have been a free man within a year or two with good behavior. He may be released when a little over fifty years old. IL was Landry who turned
 states evidence at the murder tria in Jacksonville. He was not himself brought to trial.

Grove Street Greenhouses Found fiil- ed With corgeously Hued Blossoms.
 Hundreds Admire the Display

Several thousand people attended the Annual Flower Show at the Grove Street Greenhouses, Sunday, as guests of the owner, Q. k. Herman son. They came from miles around. The first visitors arrived about eight o'clock in the morning and the last visitors departed as darkness was fall ing.

Each year it seems that the display IS more Deau- tiful Never have there been so many flowers in bloom and never, it seemed, had the colorings been so gorgeous as they were last Sunday. The hothouses were just bulging with an endless variety of plants ana 6ios- soms, all "home grown, as Mr. hef- manson expressed it
 Of course much interest centered in the beautiful display O. Easter iil- ies. There were hundreds in bloom and in bud. Several sections of the greenhouses are devoted to this sea son-time flower.
 The assembled exhibit of various blossoming flowers was in room iu the extreme east Of the hoth0uses. They were arranged 10 tiers some nve or SIX high and were dazzling m their contrasting eolors. There were the stately Easter and eaiia lilies, the dailodils. fusias, parlagoniums, nyaclnIhg, nlgOniAs, forget-me+nots, tulips and the dulier eoiored cOlsol- eria, and many other blossoms the names of when are less familiar.

no other car costs less for service. Because of its modern engineering, Chevrolet also assures a high re- sale value.
 Chevrolet gives you fully-enclosed, weather proof, 4-wheel brakes; modern fuel system-with the gasoline tank mounted in the rear; four long semi elliptic springs, mounted lenethwise in the direc- ton of car travel. It gives you beautiful Fisher bodies built of combination hardwood-and-steel. It gives you heavy, ri9idly-braced channel-steel frame. And it gives you a full ball bearing steering mechanism.

RAIL COMPARISONS
SHOW CONTRASTS
Factors in Traffic Earnings
Quite Different in 1921
From 1890 Conditions.

With 10 months of the year passed.
railway traffic continues to show no i'm
provement," says the Railway Age.
October usually is the best month of
the year. and in the first three weeks
OF that month car loadings were about
~ Per cent less than in October, 1929,
a larger decline relatively than has
oeen reported for any other month
comparisons between 1921 and 1880
are interesting because 1921 Was the
last previous year of depression. In
the first 40 weeks of 1921 the decline
OF car loadingS averaged 1873 per cent,
Whlle In the corresponding part of 1890
1t averaged l2.4 per cent. The true
measure of railroad freight business,
however, Is the number of tons carried
one mile. Measured by this standard.
the decline i'll freight business in 1921
was much larger than it has yet been
IN 1880. There was a larger decline in
average tons per car in 1921 than there
mas been this year, and consequently
TINS years carloading statistics are
somewhat deceptive.
IN the first seven months of 1921
the decline in ton miles was 24.3 per
cent, while in the first seven months
OF OF 1880 1t was less than IL per cent.
The decline in traffic in 1921, however
was almost uniform throughout the
year, while throughout 1880 it has in
creased at an accelerating rate, and,
consequently, when total figures for 1890
are available, they probably will show
that the decline in ton miles for the
entire year more closely approached the
decline in 1921 than it did in the first
seven months.
Earnings figures for 1921 and 1890
make very different comparison from
traffic figures. The largest general adj
vance in freight and passenger rates in
history was made late in 1920, and the
average rates in effect in 1921 were,
consequently, much higher than in 1920.
AS result, passenger earnings in the
first eight months of 1921 were only
per cent less than in the first eight
months of 1920 and freight earnings
only u per cent less, while both freight
and passenger earnings in the first eight
months of 1880 were about 1912 per
cent less than in 1929 Because OF a
constantly increasing decline of traffic,
the decline of both passenger and
freight earnings reported for the year
1880 will be substantially in excess Of
these figures.
THE railways in 1880 have had no
week in which as many as 100000
cars have been loaded with freight. This
is the first year since 1922 when this
has been true In fact, in the five
consecutive years ending with 1929
average loadings exceeded 1000, 900 cars
a week, while in the first AZ weeks of
this year they averaged only 9o5,169
cars a week"

A study just completed by the Aneri-

and efficient rail transportation in the
United States has been an important
factor in the development of the fresh
fruit and vegetable industry of this
country, which is likewise a main source
Of supply for Canada.
Such transportation has aided in the
location of large producing areas in
regions favorable to the growth of fruits
and vegetables, has stimulated large in
creases in production, and has assisted
in the expansion of markets which are
frequently situated at long distances
from the producing regions, the asSoci-

additional gains.
