That was q great ball game they had In Hopeville yesterday after. noon. It was Q part of the pro. gram repared for the visitors from New London, but not having any ball players among them tho contest on the ball field was left to teams from Washington Hill. It was a lively contest and after 1t was over 1t would depend on who you were talking with as to which side won. They had half dozen different umpires, each of which was accused of being partial to ono side, so there was more 0 rless doubt in the minds of spectators as to where the honors belonged.
 A Democrat reporter who tried to got tho score was directed to Jorry Shanahan, but not being able to locate Mir Shanahnn he decided to play safe and stated that 50 far as he could learn 1t was a tio and say nothing about the score,

It's their uso by for.hire truckman. Connecticut this year also passed Legislation prohibiting the four- wheel trailer entirely.
 "The public Is beginning to rec aliso that 1t cannot afford to build roads for tho extremely heavy vo- hiclcs which lax legislation has heretofore permitted on the high. ways. Kentucky has restricted trucks to q gross weight Of 9 tons, load included. Alabama, Now Hampshire and South Carolina set tho limit at 10 tons. Several other states havo similar limitations and everywhere tho tendency has been to reduce both tho weight and siso os the vehicles permitted on the public highways.

 'Tho Railroad Employes and Taxpayers Association of Connoe. tiout is not in any senso opposed to highway transport" Mir Pierson concluded. "We believe that it has c legitimate fold for service in which it is supreme. We do be. lievo, however, that neither motor transport nor the railroads should be encouraged by prodigai expen. allure of taxes to invade tho nat. ural economic field of tho other. Tho goal of our organization Is simply to havo tho Bame dogroe of regulation and self support main- tained for both forms of transport. If that is dono, traffic will auto. matieally fall to tho agency which has the best claim to it."

New Haven, July i0-The past year, and in particular the past six months, have witnessed greater sa- t!onal progress In bringing com merc!ai highway transport under reasonable regulation than all pre- v!ous years combined, said A.

We arc in no senso opposed to the orderly develop. ment of highway transportation in It's own economic field. We do not, however, believe that 1t should bo encouraged by subsidies from the taxpayers to extend un. duly into the fold of long distance sportation in competition with tho railroads"
 We are looking forward to tho regular session of congress In Jan. uary with the expectation that tho administration will advocate legis- latIon for tho regulation of inter. state motor tranBportation--a pol- icy to which President Roosevelt committed himself definitely in his Salt Lake City speech during the campaign. We had hoped that leg isiatlon would Do included in the special session of congross, but ur. doubtediy the pressing nature of other problems prevented this."
 "The tendency of the ieglsiation adopted" tho statement roads, "plainiy indicates q public demand for regulation, not only Of com" mon carrier trucks and buses, but of contract carriors as well. states which have in tho past year brought contract trucking under regulation include Aiabama, Vlr- gInia, Kentucky, North Dakota, Indiana, oregon, Maine, Now Hampahlrs, Minnesota, Tennessee

SELMA, Ala. May 6.-Sales Of spot
cotton, stimulated by rising prices, have
put money in the pockets Of Alabama
farmers and have given business an
upturn throughout the State.
A survey today showed accelerated
sales on the principal markets Of the
State since the staple crossed the T.

Of slightly more than $25 last Fall.
F.. w. Gist, Federal statistician, at
Montgomery, said more than 500, 900
bales were stored in warehouses, but
could not give figures for that held

STOCKSARE LOWER
IN PROFIT TAKING
Week End Selling Causes
Recessions of One to
Two Points.
BY CLAUDE A. JAEGER,


NEW YORK, May 6.-Financial mar
kets ran into considerable week end
profit-taking In today's short sessions.
Stocks, after climbing smoderately In
active early trading, fell back into
quieter dealings in the last hour and
closed with numerous net losses Of to
points or so. Volume for the two
hour session was about 100000 shares
Further weakness in the dollar, re-
sulting in new low levels since leaving
the gold standard, prompted further in
flation buying Of stocks and some COM
modities in the early dealings, but the
dollar rebounded after the foreign mar
kets closed.
Exchange Rates.
The pound sterling reached S4.06 In
London, the highest since England left
the gold. standard in 1881. but fell back
to below 81 here. The French franc,
after an early rise, slid back under yes
terday's final prices.
While Wall Street wss confused by
the gyrations in exchange rates, and
administrators imitation program, busi-
ness news at the end of the week con-
tinued to provide much cheer. The
weekly report of the movement of
freight on class l railroads came the
closest to the levels of the previous year
since 1880. The total of 535.676 cars
was up 42706 from the previous week
and only 1881 under the like week of
last year. Week end reports from the
steel trade indicated another step-up in
ingot production, to the best levels in
well over year.
Stocks losing to points included
Case, American Telephone, American
Can, Corn Products and Allied Chemi-
cal. Issues off l or more included
United States Steel Union Pacific. Con-
solidated Gas. Santa Fe, American To-
bacco B, United Aircraft, American
Sugar, Pennsylvania New York Central
and Johns -Manville. Virtually all groups
were under pressure. Rails flrmed lit
tie when the carloadings report came
out, but dipped again before the finish.
Reaction Is Sharp.
The reaction in shares was the sharp
est in many sessions and reflected the
inclination to take profits on the sweep
ing rise OF recent weeks which has been
almost interrupted by such decisive
temporary setbacks as usually mark the
course Of rising market.
In commodities, cotton, after getting
up about rs cents bale. slid back and
closed up only 5 to 35 cents net. Wheat
lost about a cent in the earlier dealings
IN Chicago. while corn again advanced.
On the whole, the movement in the
commodity markets was mixed and
hesitant. Bar silver stiffened n of a
cent an ounce
