the form IN which It probably
will be enacted--leaves the question
OF American neutrality policy open
for settlement when congress con.
venes next January.

The substitute resolution Is was
commended, would restrict the ad"
ministration's freedom In making
advances TO prevent the, outbreak
of warfare because II would dimin-
ish the force Of any moral persua.
sion which this government might
undertake.
The group which sought In the
senate resolution to tie the presi-
dents hands with rigid neutrality
legislation will have to be satisfied,
according to one member. with ef-
fecting this for only six months.
The house bill sets up q purely
cabinet board composed Of the Sec
retaries of war, navy, treasury and
commerce to establish licensing
system for munitions manufacture.
The board IL ordered to require
registration OF manufacturers, sub.
jecting them to inspection showing
the amount Of munitions made for

Other Provisions
Other provisions were
/. A ban Is placed against trans
portation aboard American ships Of
munitions destined for belligerent
nations.
2. Americans are prohibited
from travelling on belligerent ships
except at their own risk.
3. The president Is authorized to
prevent use OF American ports by
belligerent submarines.
4. The president may close
American ports to ships delivering
men or munitions to belligerenL
ships at sea.

Owners of real estate, that can
not be moved out of the city, are
the losers, 1t was explained. How
can Publisher Pape explain, 1t was
asked, his move IN taking his cars
to another town for registration

list by such tactics Is placed upon
the other property owners.
Some Questions Asked
Should Publisher Pape be al
lowed to vote in the city - should
he be permitted to dictate the NAM
ing Of the republican ticket for
the coming election should he
be held UP as a great local civic
leader when he is aiding another
community with his taxes?" -
these were the questions heard on
all sides today.

has nothing on Publisher Pape, 1t
was declared, when the latter ex-
hibits such great civic pride in
Waterbury now and, at the same
time, rushes to aid adjoining towns
financially.
"Is Waterbury or Woodbury.
Publisher Pape's residence?" was
another question asked. It was
declared that the head of the
American Republican organization
should make this fact known HIM
self.

Congress Ready
To End Business

once a solution OF the Public IT'LL
ity and Neutrality issues became
apparent late yesterday, advised
the President by telephone that
there was no reason why congress
should stay In session beyond today.
In such situations. however. the
unexpected frequently throws con-
gress out of stride and causes hours
of unforeseen delay.
One such possibility developed In
the threat by coalition OF south
ern senators to fillbuster to make
mandatory q 12-cent loan on cot
ton, stead OF the 9-cent loan an
nounced last night by the AAA.
victory Jammcd Through
The president jammod through q
victory late yesterday by obtaining
house approval OF a utility bill
compromise carrying q modification
OF the death sentence for holding
companies which the house confer
ees previously had rejected. The
vote was 219 TO 142. The senate
probably will give prompt concur
renee.
The alcohol control and the gold
clause measures still we're IN con-
ference. 1t was indicated the al
cohol bill might be dropped. A
conference on the gold clause reso-
luton was scheduled for today.
Neutrality legislation appeared
headed for early tassage. The
house foreign affairs agreed on a
compromise resolution to make the
senate's mandatory arms embargo
effective only until Feb. 20, 1896.
It may be passed today by the
house and be accepted by the sem
ate.
Neutrality Way Cleared
washington, Aug. 23--(UPl-
President Roosevelt's support
cleared the way today for speedy
completion OF congressional action
on neutrality legislation designed
to keep the United states out OF a
European war. !,l
A substitute measure for the SEN
ate approved bill under which an
arms embargo would be imposed
on munitions shipments to warning
nations until Feb. 20 was reported
to the house late yesterday by the
foreign affairs committee.
Chairman Sam D. McReynolds OF
the committee said the substitute
measure was acceptable to Presi-
dent Roosevelt and to Sen. Gerald
r. Nye, r., N. d.. sponsor Of the
senate measure. Its.speedy passage
was virtually assured. p.
Only Partial Victory
The substitute was only a partial
victory for the anti-war profits and
neutrality bloc in the senate, which
wished to make mandatory arms
embargo in case war breaks out
abroad, a permanent policy Of this
government.
President Roosevelt was UNDER
stood TO have opposed that provi-
sion. Administration leaders were
represented as feeling the manda-
tory arms embargo would tie this
hands in seeking to avert
war and would force the United
States to run to cover" as soon as
war breaks out. wa

tory. Benjamin Cohen, chief drafts
man of the bill, explained that 1t
contains most of the force of the
original bill. Foes Of the COM
promise called 1t the original senate
provision "in disguise"
The original death sentence call
ed for mandatory dissolution of I'M
essential utility holding companies
beyond the first degree after 1924,
except when the federal power
commission made exemptions un-
der an order of public convenience
and necessity.
The compromise asserts there
cannot be more than one holding
company and subholding COM
pany for each integrated public
utility system. An essential diff
ference in the old and new claus
es is that the securities and ex-
change commission would be direc-
ted to do the eliminating.

ating concern would be allowed to
survive, and only those holding
concerns within the second degree
could continue whose subsidiary
systems are economically and geo.
graphically integrated.
The commission will commence
Its work of encouraging simplifica-
ton, according to the compromise,
of topheavy holding structures as
soon as practical after Jan. 1,
1888" 1t would be authorized to
hold hearings to determine which
companies would be dissolved.
The original house bill gave
broad discretionary powers to the
commission to bring about holding
company simplification on the bas-
Is of public interest.
Utility interests, house and sem
ate lobby Investigations brought
out, spent moro than 100000 in
efforts to defeat dissolution pro-
visions of the bill. One gigantic
holding company, the Associated
Gas and Electric, was revealed to
have spent more than 100000.
The commission would determine
which unessential companies should
be eliminated beyond the first de-
gree. The Associated Gas and Elec-
trio system, for example, has been
termed a holding company of the
first degree. The Associated Gas
and Electric companies, a subsid-
larry organization, would be classed
as a holding company of the Sec
ond degree.
How IL Affects A. G. T..
Exactly how the bill, as now
drawn, would affect the vast A. G.
L. system, none was prepared to
say.
Rep. Sam Rayburn, D., Tex. CO.
author of the bill and chairman of
the house conferees, explained no
time limit is fixed when holding
companies which cannot conform
to specifications of the bill are to
be outlawed. This and other phas-
es of administration are left to
the sec, he said.
Rayburn and others sponsoring
the compromise predicted speedy
agreement among conferees on min
or differences between the house
and senate approved bills. Enact
ment at this session appeared vir-
tually assured.
Collapse of opposition came only
after a letter had been read from
Mr.. Roosevelt urging adoption OF
the senate offer as generous" and
after the most influential chieftians
of the house. including speaker
Joseph w. Byrns had thrown their
fun weight into the struggle.

Couzens sold out to the Fords

Couzens left the office of mayor

Yesterday the Park Board re-

so many aquatic playthings that
members said they would have TO
call halt on requests Of that ma
ture.
Joseph Outlines Stand
Jacket w. Joseph, board presi-
dent. said no funds were available
to finance the construction OF sucn
projects at this time no matter how
much they might be needed. Pools
now in operation do not provide
enough revenue to pay for their
maintenance and the necessary al
tendants, he pointed out.
other board members supported
him in his statement and said the
function of the board should be to
save the taxpayers money rather
than TO find new ways to spend 1t.
They said there had been an cpl
demi. Of requests for additional re-
creational facilities and that civic
clubs in all parts of the city seem
to have the belief that the board is
a sort of magician capable of an
swering each and every request by
reaching into tall hat.
Newspapers Are Scored
THE newspapers are partly re-
sponsible for putting us on the spot
this way with the publicity they
have given to all the requests of
all the civic clubs" Mr.. Joseph said.
These people read about the pro-
iects and then leave petitions for
these expensive Improvements in
corner drug stores for any one to
sign. Some of the petitions for the
Brookside pool are signed by Wood
ruff Place residents who do not pay
taxes to the park board.
You can get some one to sign

DIAMOND MATCH
CITED IN ORDER
BY TRADE BODY
Must Answer Complaint of
Engaging in Unfair
Practice.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 31.-The
Federal Trade Commission today
explored the question Of when
match is a safety match" took up
the matter of fair trade practices in
selling devices to renew Wornout
typewriter ribbons. and issued a
complaint against a firm allegedly
selling debt collection systems by
unfair methods"
The major concern affected by the
burst Of activity was the Diamond
Match Co. The commissions COM
plant alleged that the firm had
been selling strike anywhere
matches" which can be lit by
striking them on any friction sur
face, under the name Safety First
Diamond Matches"
This, the complaint charged, con-
stitEtes an unfair practice against
competitors manufacturing safety
matches" which can be ignited only
by striking them on the friction sur
face Of the match box itself, and
against makers Of strike anywhere"
matches who market their product
under proper designation.
The commission fixed Nov. 90 as
the day when the Diamond company
must answer the complaint.
Henry S. Blumenthal of Jackson
Heights. New York City, and the
Ribbonew Corp. of America, were
involved in the question of aged
typewriter ribbons. The commits
sion contended Blumenthal and the
RibboneW Corp. made patent in
fringement charges in bad faith
with the effect of substantially in
juring or embarrassing competitors.
The third complaint was against
the Sanderson Adjustment Bureau,
Inc, of Atlanta, and H j. Sullivan,
the firms president. The commits
sion alleged they were using I'M
fair methods in the sale of a collec-
ton system for the use of mer-
chants, professional men and others
in collecting unpaid accounts.
Both the latter complaints also
set Nov, 20 as the date for hear
ings.

AIDS INDUSTRY
Upturn Spurs Heavy De-
mand for Carefully
Selected Bonds.
Times Special


NEW YORK, Oct. 31.-The up
trend in construction activity, which
has persisted from week to week
with only few Interruptions during
recent months, is building up in
some investment channels more than
suspicion that forthcoming indus
trial reports will carry convincing
evidence that the long awaited
resurrection of the durable goods in
dustries is we'll on its way.
Power output and carloadings lend
considerable support to the belief.
Based upon this analysis of the
industrial trend, portfolio managers,
as we'll as numerous large individual
investors have been taking on a
careful selection of industrial bonds,
which combine a better than aver
age yield with chance for princi-
pal appreciation
From strict investment sources
this buying has been of limited pro-
portions, bond houses report, but
because Of steady thinning of
offerings, the move has been suffi-
Gent to give industrial bonds a
strong market.
Issues of machinery and equip
ment manufacturers are finding
particular favor. Among some of
the medium grade issues in this
group the gradual price advance has
added close to so per cent to the low
quotations for the year.
Traders more speculatively in
clined have given their major atten-
ton to convertible issues of COM
panies in this category, resulting in
some unusual price performances.
