Discussion on
 Liquor Law
Rev Mir Lackland and
 David Scully Speakers

One of the most interesting for um discussions on prohibition re- peal was held at the Central Y last night with Rev George S. Lack land of the First Methodist Episco- pal church of New Haven and Da- vid Scully of this city in the lead ing roles.
 The minister claimed that prohi- bition has reduced drinking at least 65 per cent and bootleggers are not in favor of it. while the peoples minds at present are oc- cupied with unemployment ideas and economic situation, rather than prohibition.
 Rev Mir Lackland added that if liquor will bring back prosperity why are all the European nations where it is sold freely in worse economic straits than this coun- try?
 His opponent reminded him that George Washington and religious leaders like Wesley drank and questioned Dr Lackland that he could not. deny that Christ turned water into wine and was called a wine-bibber.

 Victims
BATHING IN POOL


 John Tragakiss. 16, of 37 Hun gerford street. Hartford, a native of this city, and Edward Mcclellan. 10, of Wethersfield were drowned while seeking relief from the heat in the vicinity of Hartford yester- day.
 Tragakiss, an orphan, left this city about four years ago to take up residence in Hartford. He had been living with his older brother. Michael. Besides his brother he is survived by four sisters, Betsy, Marion, Victoria and Penelope.
 He slipped from a wet rock in the rapids which mark the upper end of ''Dead Tree Swimming Hole" in the Park River, near Arlington street. He was a pupil at Vernon street school and went swimming with a number of class mates after the close of school yes- terday. A poor swimmer. he did not attempt the deep pool, but contented himself playing in the shallow rapids at the upstream end. Suddenly his foot slipped and he fell. For a moment he seemed tot his friends to be safe, but the swift current quickly tired him and crying T can't make it." he sank.

Public Utility
 Companies Again
 Suffer By Storm
l85 Telephones Out of Order Houses and Trees Hit
 By Lightning

the lightning hit and split a 40-foot pine tree on the lawn in front of the Waterbury hospital. Half the tree stood and the other half toppled to the ground.
 Next the lightning hit the home of Lawrence Wander Eyk, chief en- gineer of the hospital. He lives nearbyl In the sitting room of his home an electric fixture was burn- ed in two but nobody was injured. A possible fire was avoided when MT Wander Eyk's son shut off the electric current as the house filled with smoke.
 The firemen were called out to the corner of Willow and West Main streets when the lightning hit an electric pole. Emergency re- pairs were made by the power com pany men. Schulte's cigar store at 3S Bank street filled with smoke after lightning put a motor out of order. The firemen were called but their services were not needed.
 During the storm the lights throughout tn city flickered several times as the lightning bothered the transformers of the power com pany. The telephone company re- ported 1S5 telephones out of order in Waterbury and Naugatuck. No serious trouble was reported from Watertown and Thomaston as far as telephones were concerned.
 In several parts of the city limbs of trees were knocked down by the wind but no serious damage occurred. When the storm let ur the skies cleared but lightning con- tinued to flash in the distance and the rumble of thunder could bs heard almost continuously. The lightning.

Increase in
 Cost of Milk
Justified on Account of the Added Cost of
 Production

A slight increase in the price of milk, 8 penny a quart, becomes ef- fective in many parts of Connecti- cut tomorrow, Waterbury included.
 The increase is considered justi- fled and consistent with the gen. era1 rise in commodity prices. Farmers have been called upon to pay 30 and 40 per cent moro for feed than formerly. The predic- ament in which the dairy farmer has found himself in late years through "cut-throat" competition, indiscriminate price cutting and other unfair practices has become so noticeable as to invite govern ment aid in relieving condftions.: Farmers have been unable to meet their taxes and many have had mortgages foreclosed on them.
 The Agricultural Relief act isI one of the national government'1 weapons to improve conditions. Tn Connecticut a law has been efl- acted authorizing a board of milk control to set minimum prices to be paid to producers and minimum prices to consumers. Connecticut was one of the first to sense tho seriousness of the situation and to legislate measures of relief.

Hartford, June 10.-Connecti- cuts all-time record of electrical production by water power has been broken twice this year, the former record having been shat tered in March and latter high mark having been immediately out classed by the April figure, accord ing to reports rendered by Connec- ticut public utilities to the United States Geological Survey. The pre- vious record was set at 37,174,00O kilowtat hours in May, 1881. The figures for March and April, 1888, were 3S.399,000 and 40,499,000 kilowatt hours respectively.
 Electrical. production by water power has been at a low -ebb during the past four years due to the ex- tremely dry weather which has prevailed. Not since 1928 has the hydro output been consistently high throughout the. year. Since then, although the Rocky River develop ment of the Connecticut Light and Power company was added to the states electrical equipment, the totals of each year have been low cred by long periods of dryness which caused low streams and con- sequently meagre water power.
 In the early spring of 1929, there was ample water power due to the excellent condition in which the plentiful precipitation of 1928 had left the rivers. Likewise that spring was rainy, so that in April a new record for hydro output was established. The rest of 1929 proved dry, however. and the hydro plants were almost idle late in the year. The year of 1930 was the driest in the states history; 1881 had, but little better precipi- tation and stream fiow.s although heavy spring rains enabled the breaking of the hydro high mark in May. Following the three day years, even close to normal rain fall could not revive stream flow sufficiently in 1882 to make good water power year.
 Late in 1892, however. precipita- ton became heavy, stream flow started and hydro production showed an immediate pickup minor recessions in January and created in March.
 Records Of this kind which di- rect attention to the states hydro plants often create the impression that the electricity thus generated is gift of nature. Such is far from the case, for it costs much more to build hydro plant than steam station and the former canno bte fully used except under ideal conditions such as those which have marked the past spring. They do enable the utility com

Public untiiity companies were considerably hampered, several places were struck and general havoc was caused throughout the city early last evening when one of the severest lightning storms of the season visited the city. The storm came as a follow-up of the intense heat which. held the city within it's grasp throughout the day but though the rain did serve to force the mercury down slightly 1t was only a temporary change for as soon as the rain ceased the night once more became close and hot.
 Throughout Connecticut consid- erable damage was done, especially by the wind which accompanied the rain. Waterbury, however, es- capped comparatively easy. During the carly hours of this morning the rain fell again but it served but little to bring about a cooler tenn perature.
 Yesterday. at the height of the intense heat, John K. Galinis, also known as Colenis, aged 47, of 117 Park Terrace. collapsed at the DldHL Ol lhc SIdSCs hEIal W Ol ho III Waterville just as he finished his days work at o'clock in the af- ternoon. He was rushed to the Wa terbury hospital in an unconscious condition and his name was placed on the danger list. To-day, however it was stated at the hospital that the man was considerably improv- cd and his name was taken off the danger list. Other prostrations were reported throughout Connecticut. The storm started at about 6:3C o'clock. The mercury dropped inn mediately to about 76 degrees but when the shower ended it jumped back to about 90 degrees. During the afternoon the mercury went over the 90 mark and people swell tered in the heat. In one room at Columbia school the heat was so intense at o'clock that the pupils were transferred to another part of the building.

Will Get Probation Position; Neagle Is
 New Prosecutor
Personnel of Court Will Be Announced Monday Positions of interpreters Only Ones Now Holding Up Appointments

Irene Piercey. Nicholas Combel- lack will be retained also as a probation officer in charge of male delinquents.
 The only apparent hitch in pre- pairing the slate of appointments centers about the interpreters. It is generally understood that Attor- ney Joseph Neagle will be the democrat member of the staff of prosecutors; that Representative Daniel J. Mahaney and Attorney Irving Pasternak will share the duties and salaries of clerk and as. sistant clerk and that Peter De- Cicco, a prominent figure in local political circles, will be reappointed Italian interpreter. Judges John F. McGrath and Edward Mascolo are likely to name an interpreter for Lithuanian, Russian and Polish cases in the future.
