WARNED
BY BRUERE

NEW YORK, Sept. 15.-Gov-
ernment threatens to take con-
troll of finance from private
hands, Henry Bruere, president
of the Bowery Savings Bank, told
representatives of more than 500
banks, trust companies and in
vestment houses at the closing
session of the Financial Adver-
tisers Association. He explained:
"The threat arises from the
fact that private hands do not
equip themselves to be guided
by sufficiently broad cOncep-
ton of public need.
ut is easy to be highfalutin
about these matters, but be-
Iieve it is true that we must
now, as practical men, recOg-
nize that we are going in the
next months, in the next years,
to be compelled to test what
we do in banking, what we do
in business by its effect upon
the total economic situation,
upon the common good"
At the close of the session
Alva G. Maxwell, vice president
of the Citizens and Southern Ma
tional Bank of Atlanta, Ca. was
elected president of the associa
ton.

the cost Of living is rising. They
do not make as much fuss as
the organized groups, but their
purchasing power is in the ag-

4. Manufacturers and merch-
ants who speeded up production

encing difficulties. Some trades
are disturbed by the existence Of
Sizeable stocks of goods produced

producers (as in flour, cotton

Politics Big Hurdle
5. The fixed-price chains are
having difficulties on account
of increased costs and prices.
They fear that breaking away
from their standard prices would
hurt their business.
6. Many small businesses which
usually earn only a fair living for

matter, and aside from economic
theory, the difficulty which
MIRA is having in pleasing each
of these groups, and in helping
the one without hurting the
other, is the big hurdle.

WEEKS POWER
PRODUCT UP

Electric output for the United
States for the week ended Sep
tember 9 was Ill per cent above
the corresponding 1882 period, be-
ing 1882, ,742,0 900 XVIII. as COM
pared with 1,423,977 900 XVIII. in
the previous year. A correction
in the 1882 figure by the Edison
Electric Institute reduced the
amount by 100000 XVIII. below
the figure originally reported.
Both last week and the compar-
able 1882 period contained the
Labor Day holiday. With but one
exception the various geographic
cal regions were within range Of
the percentage changes of the pre-
viouS week.
The Pacific Coast area showed
the sharpest change being only
2.6 per cent higher than 1892 as
compared with per cent in the
previous week. The slump there Is
attributed largely to the ending of
the irrigation season, with a con-
sequent falling off in demand for
electricity for pumping.

Failure of Attorney Hector Auray to go through yesterday afternoon with his proposed injunction pro- cbedinRs in superior court to re- strain the registrars of voters from placing tho names of the demo- cratic candidates on the voting machines for -uesday's election caused widespread comment today, The action was supposed to have been brought for one Charles T.

CITY PAY CHECKS
 NOT YET CASHED
Thieves at Shepaug Fear Presenting Them at Any
 Bank or Store

Apparently due to the statewide publicity given the incident 46 pay checks issued by the City of Wa terbury and drawn on the Citizens & Manufacturers Bank have yet to be presented for payment. The checks amounting to $1,036 were stolen Thursday evening, Septem- Der 7th, from the office of the en- gineering department, on the site of the Shepaug reservoir. In addi- Ition to the checks $24S in cash also deappeared.
 State and local police have spent sometime checking up on suspects. Lieutenant William Pollard of the local detective bureau has assisted in the examination of several who were asked to explain theiF where- abouts on the night of the 7th. To- date the various ones quizzed have produced satisfactory alibis. The authorities do not believe that any attempt will be made to cash the checks in view of the fact that the banks of the state and merchants In the Litchfield county, particular ly, have been given warning. No hope, however, Is entertained 10: the cash.
 The checks were sent by, the city to Shepag off Thursday after- noon to be distributed the follow ing day to workmen. Overnight they were left in tin deposit box in the office of the engineering force. Burglars smashed window in the wooden structure, sawed off lock leading to the office and record room and carried away the deposit box with It's checks and cash. The "break" and robbery was not discovered until the following dny.
