squandered In ways that cannot be
justified. The facts upon which the
grand Jury proceeded have not been
controverted. The only question in
volved in the dismissal was legal proof
Of criminal intent. According to the
press dispatches, the able gentlemen
representing the Government In ask
ing for dismissal seemed to commend
the grand jury and to fully concede
the waste which had taken place, but
insisted there was no evidence upon
which to convict. But that the matter
in which am interested, the question
Of waste, seems to have been estab-
lished beyond all question. The relief
money is gone. Certainly, before fur
ther appropriations are made, we must
either devise new system Of admin
istering this fund, or we must reorgan-
ize and rebuild our present system. II
the fault Is in part with the law, that
can be remedied. II the fault is in
the administration, that must either
be remedied or new system adopted
The salaries could be reduced, the
number on the pay roll can be re-
duced, a more exacting and searching
system Of accounting is indispensable.
No such system would be tolerated in
administering money other than public
money. We are now getting along to
the point where public expenditures
are an indispensable item In recovery.
One of the things which at this time
retards the distribution of purchasing
power, without which there can be no
recovery. are public expenditures and
taxes. OF course, the unemployed must
be cared for. But every effort should
be made to administer the fund with
as little cost as possible.
Million Unaccounted For.
This afternoon q gentleman whom
know we'll comes to me from one of
the States presenting what seems con-
elusive proof that million dollars is
unaccounted for in that State, that
in some way or other it has utterly
disappeared.
These matters to which ! have
called attention, these facts and fig
ures, seem to me to show waste, and
shameless waste. All these instances,
with a possible exception of the last,
are known to the F. E. r. A. at
Washington. I do not charge that
these matters have been brought to
the personal attention Of Mr.. Hop
kins. But the information is there
and 1t is subject to his call They
seem to me to warrant his personal

Responsibility Not Specific.

Secondly, If I am correctly Informed
but of this do not speak from first
hand knowledge-there is hiatus in
the organization relative to the ad-
ministration of the funds. AS near
as can ascertain, there Is no specific
responsibility for accounting for the
funds Many of the States seem to
take the position that these are Fed
eral funds, and therefore the Federal

LIVE MODELS WILL
 SHOW NEW STYLES
Mccall Paris Fashion Dis= play Opens Tomorrow
 at HOwland= Hughes

It would take the Paris couturier at the very least to turn out a crop of fashions to rival those to be on display in Mccall Paris Fashion Show at Howlsnd-Hughes Thurs day and Friday afternoons this week. For according to Miss Mill dred Hanley, Mccall stylist, who is conducting the event, each stun ming costume in the collection is an exact duplicate of an outstand- ing Paris design. And, since there will be over forty costumes in all displayed you can figure for your self just how big a ,croSs-section Of Paris is represented in the show.
 Fortunately for the women who will view the ThursGly perform anco, and the one following Fri day, it won't be necessary to take a flying trip to Paris to acquire fashions exactly like those on dis play. If one can hold needle, the thing is practically done! The rest of 1t is simply matter of a few yards of fabric, a Mccall printed pattern and a few hours at ones sewing machine. Talk to McCall's stylist about it, she'll convince you in a minute. She will be glad to answer any questions in regard to the fashions of the day, the fab- rics that are in vogue, the lines best adapted to each individual figure type, and the small cost at which modern woman can create her own smart clothes.
 One of the things we just know is destined to be hit in this fash ion show, is an evening frock of plaid seersucker. As for the other costumes, we'll it's just up to you to hie yourself to Howland- Hughes Thursday and Friday afternoons and attend the Mccall fashion show on the fourth floor.

Building Totals In
 February Show Drop
Last Months Continued Decline Started in October
 But Gained Over February of Last Year

For five consecutive months the total valuation of building permits issued by cities and towns in Con- necticut has been declining, the downward curve of building opera tions which began last October having continued It's sharp descent during the month of February in a manner for which not even the shortness of the month can ac- count, it is shown in the monthly building survey taken by the freight traffic department of the New Haven railroad among twen- ty-four communities along it's rights of way.
 As compared with the total value of the building permits issued in February, 1893, there was an in- crease, however. The permits granted by the twenty-four cities and towns covered in the survey last month totaled approximately $325,000 as against $280,000 in the corresponding month last year. The figure for January of this year was $464, ,00O.
 Only five of the twenty-four communities listed in the survey showed building permit gains in February as compared with Jan- uary. These were Hartford, Mid- dletown, New Haven, Norwalk and Stamford. The February list was headed by Hartford with permits valued at $79,669 while West Hart ford and Norwalk were in second and third places, respectively.
 As compared with the valuation of permits issued in February, 1893 last months permits showed in- creases in eleven of the surveyed communities. These were Hart ford, Naugatuck, New Britain,

!MAYNO ORCHESTRA AT PARK TONIGHT
Jack Fitzgerald's Band to Return for Mardi Gras
 Carnival

Direct from the Ritz ballroom in Bridgtport comes Artie Mayno and his White House orchestra to- night to provide some high class dance music for the mid-week pleasure seekers at the Hamilton park ballroom. Mayno appeared at the park last season but since that time has climbed to the heights of New England orchestra circles by producing as smooth a band as ever played the east. His music is dance compelling to say the least, his special arrangements of the latest bits being hot off the metropolitan publishers presses.
 The management of the park takes great pleasure in announcing the first appearance at the popu- lar out east ballroom in many moons of Waterbury's orchestra king, Jack Fitzgerald and his band of IA entertainers including Miss Ann Egan and Charley Connors. The occasion of MT F'itzgerald's re- turn is the big St Patrick's dance Saturday night which will also feature an Irish Mardi Gras carni- val with confetti, steamers, noise- makers and all the fixins'. It is going to be one of the biggest par ties of the year with Maestro Jack and the greater Hotel Elton band ready to serve up a delightful menu of music, appropriate for the event.

 The convention was held from Thursday to Saturday of last week, with the first two days devoted mainly to the student editors and writers and the closing day to the faculty advisers and directors. Jo- seph M. Murphy, president of the association, was in general charge of the convention.

 Original Passion Play

In 1888 the little village of Oberammergau which is nestled in the Bavarian Alps was stricken with the plague of the black death and in gratitude for the cessation of the terrible devasting scourge the inhabitants vowed to portray scenes from the last week of the life of Christ on earth.
 The first performance of the play was given the next year 1884 and it has been repeated at ten year intervals with 8 few exceptions, since tht time< <For over two hum dred years it has been produced on the even decimal years. The last play in 1890 was witnessed by over 5O,O0O American tourists. This year, 1884. a special pro- duction in celebration of the three hundredth anniversary of it's first performance will be given and the hotel, steamship and travel bu- reaus are already makink intensive plans to stimulate travel to Ger many to attend this special per- formance.
 Alois Lang will take the part of the Christus. Ami Rutz that of the Virgin Mary. Klara Mayr is the new Mary Magdalene. Anton Lang who played the part of Christus for the last thirty years, will read the prologue,as he did in 1880.
