 Since large part of the copper and brass industry of tho United States is centered E. in. Bridgeport and the Naugatuck Valley, Connec- ticut, the bureau of mines made a study there which is being used in its publication on secondary MetalS". ,
 Extensive work has also been done by the Bureau of Mines in connection with use of explosives, ventilation of mines and in study ing nonmetallic mineralic minerals such as clay, feldspar, lime and ce- ment, in addition to coke and fuel briquetting.
 Geological and Topographic Sur- veys and investigations relating to water resources have been the chief activities of the Geological Survey in Connecticut during the post three years, the report shows. The Geological services states that the western part of Connecticut from geological standpoint, is one of the most complicated areas in the United States. Yale University helped in the government work in this area.
 Approximately HOO square miles of territory were Geographically mapped within the Mantle and New London quadrangles.

STATE TRIES OUT
 NEW TEST SCHEME
Department Plans to Fa- cilitate Inspections Be-
 gun Here Last Week

Hundreds of car owners employed in Waterbury factories will be in terested in the latest plan of the state department of motor vehicles to facilitate the current inspections, begun here last week at the Thom- aston avenue lane. Under the new plan, to be tried, out in Bridge port at an early date. car owners employed at factories will bring their machines to the testing lane in one group after the o'clock clos ing hour and will be given innme- diate inspections.
 The plan was announced follow ing 8 conference between, Colonel Michael A. Connor, commissioner ot motor vehicles, and the Superin- tendent of Bridgeport factory en- ploying 300 persons. If the first test is successful, other manufacturing concerns employing more than 50 will be given the same opportunity of group testing.
 A date for the first group in spection is expected to be, set this week and unless 1t is found in some manner to be impracticable, the plan will in all probability be ex- tended to other stations in the state, including the one on Thonaaston avenue.
 In Waterbury, it will prove of real value to the hundreds of car-own- CTS who because of the improve rnent in factory employment, have only Saturday afternoons free to bring their cars to the inspection lane. It will also serve tu relieve congestion at the station. Indica- tions at the close of business for the first week were that Saturday will prove the busiest day of the week for inspections here.

BALTIMORE, June 19-Maryland's
delegates to the Democratic National
Convention in Philadelphia next week
are concerned almost as much with
plans for the 1898 gubernatorial elec-
ton as for the convention itself.
There is really nothing much for

It already has elected its officers and
is pledged to President Roosevelt.
The 1888 election, however, is re-
garded as the first chance for the
party to name q leader. Former Gov.
Albert G. Ritchie, its leader for more
than Is years, died q few months ago.
While no candidate has formally
announced for the governorship-the

number Of accidents on their lines has

Of conversion, they say. from to Z

paid out in settling accident claims.
The total now paid for this purpose
Is per cent Of the gross income. Al
though insisting the one-man opera
tion is as safe, II not safer than the
old system, the ofiicials concede other
factors enter into the improved safety
record, such as better braking and
other safety devices and selection Of
more eficient operators.
Commenting on the one-man car
operation here. the Railroad Commis-
sion Of Wisconsin said:
Eve have made very intensive in
vestigation Of the safety Of operation
Of one-man cars. As q result Of
these studies we have not changed
our opinion that the one-man cars,
equipped as cars Of this type owned
by the Milwaukee company are. can
be operated with fewer accidents per
car mile or per 1000 passengers car
ried than can be done with the two
man cars. The accident records ap-
pear to us to be conclusive on this
point"
No one here disputes the COM
pany's assertion that one-man cars
! can and have been operated on faster
schedules. When this type of opera
ton was first put into effect the
schedules were slowed down In the
belief considerable time would be lost
by having one man perform the duties
hitherto allocated to two. This, how-
ever, did not prove to be the case
and the schedules were restored to
normal. A little later they we're
stepped-up ahead Of the old operating
time. The average operating speed
of all street cars here Is 81 miles

to the two-man operation. Such
a change, they said, would mean an
annual increase in operating costs
of 81, 800, 900, attributable to increased
wages. In the transition from two
to one man operation, however. none
Of the old employees was fired, oil
being placed in new Jobs with the

cars received 56 cents an hour, while
those operating one-man cars are paid

Perhaps the most important dis
tinction between the local company
and the Capital Transit Co. Is the
manner in which its operators are
selected. For years the Milwaukee
company has used scientific reaction

BY JOHN II. CLINE,
Stan Correspondent Of The star.

MILWAUKEE,, June 19.-The one
man street car, which bids fair to be-
come the subject of considerable con-
troversy in Washington, is firmly es-
tablished in Milwaukee's mass-trans-
portation system.
Although the Capital Transit Co
has relatively few one-man cars op-
Grating in Washington now, it has
petitioned the Public Utilities Com
mission for authority to increase the
number. Many experts who have
studied the n1ass-transportation prob
lem in the Nations Capital believe that
ultimately an effort will be made tc
place one-man cars In operation on
most Of the street railway lines in the
city.
This trend has been opposed Wig.
orously by some citizens groups, who
believe vehicles Of this type contribute
to slower service and increase tn,
likelihood Of accidents. Realizing thai
the one-man car soon will be live
issue in Washington, Richmond B
Keech, vice chairman Of the Public
Utilities Commission, who has beer
making q traffic study here with q
party Of five other Washington ex
perts, has made special study Of the
conversion from two to one man op
Grafton in Milwaukee.
This city placed its first one-mar
car in service in 1921. Since thai
time, this type of vehicle has beer
substituted gradually for the two
man cars. At present, there are 55(
street cars and more than 200 busse!
In operation here. About half tn,
street cars are of the one-man type
Fifty are regular two-man cars an,
there are 108 trains, or units Of two
cars serviced by two men, in opera
ton. The city, however, has asket
the company to convert the trainl
into one-man cars and this will b
done soon.
The entire mass transportation sys
tenn here, as well as the power com
pany which services the city and 1t
environs, is owned by the Milwaukee
Street Railway & Electric Co., q sub
Adiary Of the North American Co
giant utilities holding concern.
Company officials say they met will
considerable public opposition whel
they instituted their first change from
two to one man operation, but con
tend the public has been so well salts
fled with the new service that com
plants have ,dwindled to the vanish
ing point. Questioning Of citizens IL

dicated they are reconciled to tn,
one-man cars, although nto enthuA
