DREAM fulfilled
Pennsylvania's New Motive
Power One of Biggest
P. W. A. Projects.

Completion of the Identification of
the New York to Washington passen-
ger service Of the Pennsylvania Rail-
road, announced yesterday. marks a
major phase of one of the greatest
projects financed by the Public Works
Administration.
All passenger trains are now being
electrically propelled and connect at
Baltimore with the electrically run
trains of the Pennsylvania to Chicago
and st. Louis.
On New Year eve, 1885, Secretary
Ickes and Pennsylvania Railroad Off
cials signed P. w. A. contracts for a
loan of approximately S80,000,000 for
completion of electrification, manu-
featuring equipment and other con-
Struction purposes. The project was
the biggest private construction Job in
the world under way during the past
18 months
The first electric through train was
run between Washington and New
York on February 10 last, and the
electrified service of passenger trains
has been increased steadily since so
that now the entire passenger service
is electrified, fulfilling a railroad ambi-
tion over score of years
The completely electrified passenger
service of the Pennsylvania embraces
679 daily trains, of which 191 are
through trains and, 488 are semi-ex-
press and commuter trains, some of
which have motors in each car and
no electric locomotive.

POLICE DEFENDED
BY CRIME PROBER
Representative Reed Tells
American U. Group Crime
Is Average.

Representative Chauncey w. Reed
of Illinois, member of the House Dis
trict Committee and also of the Crime
Investigating Committee, gave his
personal opinion of the crime inves-
tigation in a speech before the Amer
lean University Park Citizens Asso-
citation last night.
I'VE heard lot of talk about
Washington being crime-ridden
city" he said, but it is probably not
much worse than other large cities.
We found a few cases of inefficiency
in the Police Department, but no more
than would be found anywhere else.
1 believe that all police in the Dis
trict, with the possible exception of
the Capitol and White House police,
should be under one head. When the
committee makes its report it will
probably recommend such a reor-
ganization. I also believe that Maj.
Brown should have the 35 policemen
restored to him that were taken of
by the economy act.
WOuld Ala prosecution.
Reed also said two bills will be in
troduced soon to make prosecution
of criminal charges easier. Under the
proposed laws, a person accused of a
crime and who intends to use the de-
fense of insanity or alibi will have
to give written notice to the prose-
cutting attorney of his intent to use
such defense, and also supply a list of
the witnesses he intends to call. This
will give the prosecuting attorney
time to check on the credibility Of the
witnesses and prepare rebuttal.
The restoration to the automobile
liability bill of the section which re-
to post bond in accidents involving
property damage was asked in reso-
luton passed by the association.
Thomas E. Lodge stated that other
States had similar and even more
drastic laws in regard to automobile
liability.
Favor Divorce Changes.
Another resolution introduced by
Lodge and passed by the association
favored the passage of the bill to in
crease the grounds for divorce actions
in the District
Opposition to the proposed rent
commission to study rents in the
District was voted This action was
taken on the grounds that similar
commission formed during the war
was found to be unconstitutional be-
cause it was class legislation.
w. A. Driggers of the Kenilworth
Citizens Association spoke before the
association, asking its support of a
resolution passed by his association
favoring the use of the old Benning
race track site for a municipal air.

Gardens and Parks Committee for
study. The Gardens and Park Com
mittee was also asked to prepare a
resolution asking for the purchase of

Growth of Business Trib- ute to Louis SciglianO,
 Founder, President

The 6cigliano Lumber company, located at the corner of Division and Robinson streets, is one of the most enterprising concerns of it's kind in Waterbury. The company has been active in the local busi- ness field for many. many years and carries on a volume of trade that is tribute to its founder, Louis Scigliano, present president and treasurer of the corporation.
 MT. Scigliano has been connected with the local building business. both in the contracting and whole sale lumber branches. since 1914. While a private contractor Mir. Scigliano directed the erection of such structures as the Sons of Italy hall, the Capitol theater and the Waterbury Mattress company plant.
 Tn 1928, however, Mir. Scigliano decided to leave the. contracting business and go into the wholesale lumber field. The Scigliaao Lum- Der company was incorporated in that year and since then it has en- joyed growth, annually.
 Besides MT. Scigliano, the officers of the Scigliano Lumber company are: Vice-president, Joseph De- Lauritis; secretary, Andrew Yer rastro.
 The concern occupies a space of 50,000 square feet at the corner of Division and Robinson streets and carries a stock sufficient to meet the demands of every descrip- ton. Service has been the by-word of the Scigliano Lumber company from it's start and the results of this fine treatment of the public is reflected in the constantly grow ing list of customers which the books of the concern show.

The Water bury Battery Co. is known for its pr ~ducts in India, New Zealand, Australia, China, South Africa, South America and the various countries in Europe as well as the United States, where Waterbury batteries are operating railroads from coast to coast and from Can- ada to the Gulf.
 The Waterbury Battery Co. was organized in 1898 by Charles B. Schoenmehl. He had been experi- menting with electricity and elec- tro-chemistry in his spare time while working for the American Brass Co. MT. Schoenmehl had patents on battery he was mak- ing and distributing under the name Of the Excelsior Cell"

  Its manufacturing plant consisted of small building in the rear of 10e6 South Main street.
 The first source of power was small water turbine designed and constructed by MT. Schoenmehl. In 1904 the first compressed cylinder type of copper oxide cell was manufactured and offered to the trade under the trade name of "Schoenmehps Primary Battery" This battery was the forerunner of the various types of closed cir cult batteries which the company 5s still manufacturing.
 Tn 1906 the company placed on the market plate type of battery, and a short time later a patent for a multiple plate battery was ob- rained by Mir. Schoenmehl. For a long time practically all the null Giple plate type of compressed cop per oxide batteries were being pro- duced under license granted by Mir. Gchoenmehl.
 Tn 1911 M. l.. Martus became as- Aociated with the company as sec Fetary and factory manager. In 191z a new type of copper oxide battery, which had a high internal resistance was brought out. This was a special battery for track cir stuit use and was used in many in .jtances to displace the gravity bat stery which up to this time was in general use on track circuits.

 When the firm was first started 1t served a meager trade, but as soon as people began to realize that the best foods and most mod crate prices prevailed there, they began to patronize this store and have not been disappointed. To- day it holds the unique distinction of being one of the towns biggest grocery firms.
