Foreign INTERESTS
ATTACK j. 5. SH|PSI
Chairman 0'Connor Of Board
Charges Scuttling Through
Propaganda
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
A charge that foreign interests are
using propaganda as a weapon for
scuttling the American merchant ma
zine has been made by Chairman Z. ".
O'Connor of the United States Ship
ring Board in replying to q statement
by noted British mercantile authority.
O'Connor referred to assertion by
Sir Alan Anderson. chairman OF the
Orient Line, that American taxpayers
have spent $4,000, 100000 on ship sub
eidies in the past IL years and that the
United States is dumping shipping
cervices on the world market, making
it impossible for other nations. eSpe-
cially Great Britain, to pay its debt to
this country in the form Of shipping
services"
Excess in Service.
Anderson also was quoted as saying
three new American vessels built for
service between San Francisco and Aus
tralia were much more expensive than
the trade would justify and that "a
competing British line which cannot
Clip into the public purse is unable to
offer the public such costly vessels"
said in a statement, that the American
taxpayer has spent nothing like three
billion dollars on ship subsidies in the
past IL years, or for that matter, during
the $50 years of the Nations existence.
1T is quite evident that Sir Alan er-
roneously considers as subsidy the
cost of this country's war construction
program, undertaken at a time when
war prices prevailed and when haste
and quantity productions were the prime
considerations"
Matter of Judgment.
Asserting that whether the Pacific
ships operating in competition with the
Orient Line are more expensive than
judgment in which the American COM
pany had invested Its own money,
O'Conn0r said:
IF Sir Alan Is correctly quoted In
the press, his statements regarding the
American merchant marine furnish an
excellent illustration of the lengths to
which studied propaganda can 60 In
seeking to destroy competition.
THE fact that world shipping Is In
desperate straits explains, II 1t does not
justify, the flood of Misrepresentation,
chiefly of foreign origin, which Is now
being hurled at the American merchant
marine Friends of American shipping
will meet and repulse these gratuitous
attacks.
"Our merchant marine Is on the sea
to stay. Whatever its future fortunes,
We shall not permit it to be scuttled by
our friends across the sea-"

q great deal interferes with the nat

Of its own accord. For that reason the
finely played climax and the apothe-
osis had not the contrast of the
poetry and sentiment that should
have preceded 1t.
In the grave and allegro from
Bach's Organ Concerto" and the
polka and fugue from Weinberger's
opera "Schwanda" the orchestra
showed volume and quality Of tone

oIl6 O1 UllcSc,
Deems Taylor's Through the Look
ing Glass" was such a refreshment
musically that a second hearing
could be had with great pleasure.
The delight Of its whimsy and the
orchestral means used to express 1t
are the result of free-howing in
spiration that had no need Of extra
invention to give 1t form. The orig
inality of the composition lies in its
naturalness The conviction OF ser1-
BUSINESS and the phantasy OF char
acterization Is as charmingly humor-
GUS as the story from which 1t was
taken. Mr.. Taylor has the gift OF
beautiful melody. He uses it with q
skill that gives one every opportunity
to enjoy it and the fertility OF his
ideas delight one with their rich
ness. The thorough enjoyment OF
the audience was evidenced IN the
spontaneous and prolonged applause
that assumed a personal nature
when Mr.. Taylor rose to acknowl-
edge 1t.

ellis 'Dtrge." The rend1tlon OF
"Natchez on the Hill" was an I'M
provement on the first attempt, being
more fluent and gayer and lighter In
treatment. The mystical quality Of
McDowell's "Dirge" was kept In evi-
dence, while the orchestra gave sub
dued beauty of tone to its solemnity.
1t is with regret that place must
be given to an adverse criticism in
an evening of such general excel
lence, but Tchaikowsky's Romeo
and Juliet" touches again the weak
spot Of the orchestra. 1t is not lack
of idea that one misses in the rendi-
ton of this romantic work, but
blurring of the idea in the execu-
ton. There Is rather a fumbling
with the poetical moments that con-
veys nothing and a holding back OF
q certain freedom of expression that
should reach over to the audience.

Reduction In
 Number Looms
 Despite Protests
Internal Revenue Agents Under Fire and Personnel Reduction Hinted-Appeals Made to Congress- men and Senators - Arbitrary Orders Given Local Rum Sellers

A reduction in the number of federal. enforcement agents now operating in Connecticut is report ed to be under consideration. The change will be one Of necessity due to a reduction in the national appropriation for the enforcement of the prohibition law. Incidentally Connecticut may also lose the services of 21 internal revenue agents now working under the su- pervision of the New Haven field, utvision headquarters. This reduc- ton depends on the proposed ten Ter cent cut in the treasury appro- priations. The plan would also af- feet the 24 agents of the Hartford division and indirectly Waterbury. 1t. has been proposed that Port of Hartford" office be abolished and that the Bridgeport office be consolidated with New York head quarters.
 The officials of Hartford as well as New Haven and Bridgeport have filed protests over any such rad icaf changes and have appealed to connecticut's senators and con- gressmen to register objection to the measure.
 From all indications the author. itles of Washington consider Con- necticut's staff of federal enforce ment agents too large. A number of young college men have been recently added to the staff. One or two of them have been working quietly in Waterbury for several weeks, assisting Agent Ralph John- son, who was one of the leaders of the raid upon the big liquor head quarters on Canal street.
 Of late Waterbury has received more attention from the dry sieuths than any city in the state. If has been claimed that some of the agents have gone out of their way to issue arbitrary orders to local owners to close up and re- main closed. Usually this little or der has come personally from At torney Robert Sengle, prohibition administrator of Connecticut. MT Scngle has been in Waterbury checking up on the activities of his agents. He is not inclined to the belief held by many that his squad is too large and has been non- productive except in certain locali- ties.

SENATOR HUEY LONG FINALLY

Louisiana = self. styled "kingfish" and unquestioned boss of his state-is captain and crew of the mutiny so far. But long hopes for recruits. He startled the senate yesterday with demand that Senator Joe T. Robinson sur render leadership of the party. Long promised he would carry his fight against Robinson "to Arkan- sas."
 The minority leader rejected Longs project for redistribution of wealth by'taxatioh to limit incomes to s1.O00,000 and inheritances to s5,0O0, sweat the swollen fortunes of the rich," Long shouted. And when Robinson would not join him, Long fired his party leader in so far as one may do it.
 Together fortnight ago they dunked bread in potlikker. Long was the host. They will not soon dunk together again.
 ''I told them and don't give a damn. Long exclaimed sometime after his set-to with Robinson on the senate floor.

MINOR DEFECTS NOTED

The school officials are not dis turbed over the report of the state board of education on the condition of some of the schools in Water bury. The fire underwriters and the local fire marshal all of whom make frequent inspection of the buildings have no complaint to of- fer about fire hazards. and practi- cally all the other things found fault with are of minor importance. John J. Walsh, chairman of the board, calls attention to the fact that most of the criticism applies to buildings that were constructed years ago and that it is easy to go through such structures and see things that could be improved upon by the expenditure of little money.
 MT Walsh believed that the schools of Waterbury are in as good condition as any in the state, and that what has been called attention to by the state board has been not. ed by the inspector and plans under consideration to have such repairs as are necessary made as soon as funds will permit.
 It is certain that there is mo- thing new in what has been report ed about the Croft school. It is not long ago since the school house

ANGLERS URGED
 TOCUARD WATER
Utilities Ask Fishermen to Avoid Trespassing on
 Watersheds
AVOID POLLUTION

With the trout fishing season now well under way and with the more ardent pursuers of the finny species seeking new streams to conquer, there comes the annual temptation to invade the forbidden areas of reservoir watersheds of the water supply utilities and to try their fisherman's luck in the many streams which empty into the supply basin. Water company officials state, however, that in- vasion of the watersheds by fish, ermen or any other trespassers, cannot and will not beb tolerated.
 This attitude on the part of the companies is by no means an indi- cation that they desire to deprive the sportsman of his pleasure. Were 1t possible, the companies would be glad to open up all of their streams and brooks for the benefit of all anglers Sanitary reasons, however, make it impos- sible to do this. Any and all possible chances of water pollution must be aiodded in order to protect the public health and this would not be possible were trout fishers or others permitted to roam at will on the watersheds.
 Company officials further point out that many streams, although many miles distant from a reser- voir, after winding their courses eventually empty into a public wa ter supply. For this reason, they urge that fishermen. picknickcrs and motoring parties avoid dump ing refuse into any stream or any other action which might tend toward pollution. Alteration or chlorination are used to protect most of the reservoir water before it is distributed for consumptoin, but. if pollution of contributary streams can be avoided. it serves to increase the safety of the supply.

GOVERNMENT MAY CUT STATE DRY FORCE
SAFETY RECORD
 FOR N. H. ROAD
Risen From Seventeenth to Third Place Among
 Class l Railroads
DUE TO EMPLOYES

The New Haven Railroads ad- vance from seventeenth to third position among the Glass rail- roads of the United States in the matter of accident reduction dur ing the year of 1891 Is attributed by officials of the company not only to the diligence of the em- ployes in general. Practically every railroad employe is a disciple of safety and assists in guarding the safety of his fellow employees and the riding public.
 This is shown by the fact that New Haven employees other than those whose sole task is the con- stant inspection of tracks and roll ing equipment receive citations at the rate of twenty-five Or thirty a month for alertness and vigilance in recognizing and correcting con- ditions which might result in acci- dents.
 An employe engaged in repairing track, for instance, stops his work while a freight train passes, but in- stead of standing idly by, he watches each car carefully. Per- haps, he notes that a brake beam is hanging or that there is some other defect which might cause trouble. As the caboose passes, he signals the conductor, the train is stopped and the budding accident is nipped. In most cases, it is a minor accident which is prevented in this way, but often more serious possibilities are corrected by the constant twenty-four- r-hour-a-day watchfulness of railroad workers.
 Many times passengers are saved from serious injury or death when trying to board or alight from moving trains by the quick work of vigilant employe. Grade cross ing watchmen also come in for fre- quent citation for bravery involv- ing the risk of their own lives in saving needless and careless mo- torists from destruction.
