BILL TO REGULATE
BONDSMEN PASSED.
Senate Approves Measure
Empowering Court to Pass
on Qualifications.

The Senate this afternoon passed
bill to regulate the business OF execut-
ing bonds in criminal cases in the Dis
trict. The bill still requires action BY
the House. In reporting the measure
to the Senate the District Committee
stated that at present bondsmen are
not responsible for their conduct to any
responsible public official, and that
abuses of the latitude enjoyed by
bondsmen have led to public recogni-
ton OF the need for legislation"
The bill gives the courts power to
prescribe the qualifications of persons
acting as bondSmen. It requires a list
of bondsmen to be posted conspicuously
IN police stations, such list to be fur
nished, upon request, TO persons de-
talned there. Police Court Judges
would be authorized to designate an
official of the Police Department to act
as clerk of the court to take bail or
collateral at times when Police Court
is closed.
The bill would make 1t unlawful for
any bondsman to give anything of value
10 any attorney, police officer or other
oInclals, Tor procuring any person 60
employ said bondsnlan. 1t would also
make 1t unlawful for an attorney TO
give anything of value to bondsnaars.

curing any person TO employ such at

committee by Senator King Of Utah.

A. n. CONNETT DIES;
NOTED ENGINEER
Built Underground Conduit
Street Railway Here,
First in U. S.

Albert N. Connect. noted engineer,
who built in Washington the first
underground conduit street railway in
successful operation In the United
States, died Sunday at his home on
Fifth avenue, New York, according to
Associated Press dispatches. He was 73
years old.
In addition to his pioneering work in
street railway construction here Mr..
Connect gained fame through his work
as an associate of President Hoover in
relief work in France and Belgium dur
ing the early days of the World War.
He was as well known in Europe as in
the United States, having engaged in
construction of surface railway Sys-
TENS in various parts of France. He
lived in London for many years.
Named to Study System.
Construction of the underground con-
duit type of street railway in Washing
ton followed the successful use of that
system in Budapest, Hungary. As a
result of campaign conducted by The
Star for the elimination of the overhead
trolley wires by the adoption of the
underground system for Washington,
Mr.. Connect was appointed as engineer
to make a thorough study Of the under
ground conduit system in use In Buda-
pest. He took charge of construction
Of the first American underground
conduit system on the old Metropolitan
line from Four -and-a-haH and B streets
to Ninth street and Florida avenue.
This work was completed in 1895. In
the following year the underground
conduit system was extended to the r
street line, from Lincoln Park to
Georgetown and out Connecticut avenue
to Florida avenue.
.Mr. Connect must be given credit
for the modern underground conduit
system as now used in America" said
John H. Hanna, president of the Cap
ital Traction Co, when informed of Mr..
Connects death. 1.-THE system which
he installed In Washington in 1895,
with only minor changes in detail Is
that which is in use in the United
States today"
Built Lines in France.
Born in Bethel, Conn, 73 years
ago, Mr.. Connect was graduated from
Rensselaer, Polytechnic Institute as
civil engineer In $780, After his work
in Washington he went to Paris, In
1896. as chief engineer of general
electric group there and during the
following years constructed many elec-
trio surface lines in France He lived
in London for many years prior to his
retirement in 1922 and since that time
had lived in New York.
Surviving are his widow, the former
Miss Theodore Spier: four sons, Albert,
jr., of Paris, Harold of Philadelphia
and Francis S. and Thomas O. Connect
of New York, and three brothers, Eu-
gene ", Ernest r. and Lyndon r. Con-
nett of New York

NITRATE COMBINE.
AIessandri Orders Liquida-
stion of Cosach Organization,
= Largest in World.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
SANTIAGO. Chile, January 3.--Presi-
dent Arturo Alessandri yesterday signed
q decree ordering the liquidation of the
Cosach nitrate combine, which con-
trolled the worlds largest nitrate plant.
% The decree said that the Liquidating
Committee would be composed of one
representative of Cosach, one from the
government and one from the Supreme
Court.
Special Arrangements.
President yAlessandri sent message
10 Congress asking for special arrange
fnents concerning the modus operandi.
Interested circles believe that the
liquidation will require a long period,
probably more than two years. Thus the
present situation is maintained with
the only difference that full powers
governing operations are centered In
the Liquidating COMMITTEES.
Secrecy generally surrounded the
liquidation decree, Gustavo Ross, min
lister of sfinance, refused to issue a
statement, while Cosach officials said
they had not received the text of the
decree.
Set Aside Law.
II WaSSaat4lorltalFely learned, now
ever. that Aureliano Burr, former presi-
dent Of the Central Bank (Which in
November made a temporary loan to
the Cosach for operating expenses pend
ing President Alessandi's study Of the
combine situation) was appointed the
Governments representative on the
Liquidating Committee
The decree derogates the law of 1881,
which created the combine and de-
clared It to be legally established.

Pittsburgh Chinese
Care for Their Own
And Spurn Relief
Not One Family There Has
Applied to Welfare
Agencies of City.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PITTSBURGH, January 3.-Down In
Pittsburghis Chinatown, where pains of
economic palsy have been sorely felt,
the philosophy and customs Of an an
cient race triumphS over poverty,
spreads cheer and banishes discomfort.
Residents of Chinatown, whose an
cestors weathered centuries of misfor-
tune, continue to whisper and hum be-
hind their shuttered windows, although
restaurant tables are vacant, laundry
washtubs empty and Oriental SHOPS
without customers.
City officials revealed today that al
though the citizens of the quarter are
taxpayers, not single family has COM
planned or applied to welfare stations
for relief.
Disdaining aims from the Occidental,
Chinatown cares for its own, provid-
ing food-and clothes when needed-to
several hundred unemployed men, MEM
bers Of the Hip Sing and On Leong
Tongs. Men visit the kitchen OF Yee
Toy, importer of foods, but as guests,
not beggars. Twice daily the guests"
eat rice and meat. Similar feasts are
held daily In other shops in Chinatown.
Leaders Of the Chinese Merchants
Association say that the population,
more than 1000 few years ago, has
shrunk to approximately one-half that
number.
