 politicaA sentiment is running high and with unjust accusations and reports running back and forth, it is sometimes hard for the voter to determine what constitutes the truth. Then again, has enough been said about things to bring out the truth, or has one side of the story only been told in order to paint Q roseate picture for the party so in- terested?

NO MORE PWA
 MONEY FOR CONN
Sen. LOnergan Notified; New Haven Was Seeking
 DraWbridge Funds

Washington, D. c. (Special) )--The Public Works Administration today notified Senator Lonergan, (Conr1.) that all money has been allotted under the P. w. A. Extension Act of 1897, and that no additional Conn., ecticut projects can be recommend ed for an allotment.
 The information, Senator Loner- gan said, was furnished to him in 8 communication stating that no funds would be available for the construction of 8 drawbridge and sewage treatment plant at New Haven, which Senator Lonergan is having reviewed by the legal divt- sion.
 These projects, which were not in- cluded in the original allocations for Connecticut, have been rejected on the ground that they did not quail fly under any of the subdivisions of Section 205 of the act. Senator Lonergan joined with Mayor John w. Murphy, of New Haven, in pro" testing this decision and submitted evidence that both projects qualified under provision of the act giving preference where authority had been voted for the issuance of bonds. Al- though Senator Lonergan predicted that the logal division would sus- tain Mayor Murphy's point of view that the projects are eligible, 1t ap- pears now, he said, that since no additional funds are available 1t will be impossible to go ahead. He said, however, that if the legal divisions opinion is favorable, he will en- deavor to get a commitment from the Public Works Administrator to

five BRIEFS FILED
ON COTTON BELT
Bankers Trust Declares None of
Plans So Far Provides Ade-
quately for Merger.
D the Associated Press.

- the Associated Press.
The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion received yesterday five briefs on
proposed plans for reorganization of
the ST. Louis, Southwestern Railway
Co.
The Bankers Trust Co. of New York
urged that any plan provide for con-
kolidation of the railroad and its sub
sidaries and said that none of the
plans so far submitted provides ade-
ouately for this.
The Chase National Bank of New
York said Of the reorganization plan
sponsored by it and other bankers:
"A chief factor motivating filing of
the banks plan was the fact that
debtors (the railroad's) plan proposed
ruthlessly and unnecessarily to sacri-
fice the rights of the junior lien hold
ers for the benefit of the equity. To
. lesser degree the Southern Pacific
and G. lines plans are subject to the
same charge The banks may
conceivably have leaned backward in
favor of conservative financial
structure. In any event, the fact that
their plan is compa tible with the pub
lie interest is easily demonstrable'
The brief of Mason B. Starring, jr.,
and other minority preferred stock
holders criticized all of the plans and
proposed that his group be given
new issue Of junior convertible pre-
ferred stock or, as less desirably alter
native, that the Southern Pacific Rail-
road be required to renew a previous
offer of protection to the minority in
terests or that the minority be given
option warrants on common stock to
compensate them for loss of their
present rights.

COSTS TO REDUCE
GAIN IN OIL NETS
Substantial Increase Over 1885
Expected. However, for Entire
Six-Month Period.
Srecial Dispatch to The Star.

ST ecial Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, July 3.-Earnings Of
American oil companies for the second
quarter of 1887 are not likely to show
the same remarkable gain over the
corresponding period Of last year that
was recorded in the first three months.
according to survey prepared by
World Petroleum.
This is due to higher operating costs,
including wage increases for oil field
and refinery workers, which went into
effect during the second quarter and
will be reflected in earnings.
Nevertheless substantial increase
in net income for the industry as a
whole will be shown for the three
months ended June 80, and this may
range from 80 to 40 per cent as COM
pared with the second quarter of last
year.
"Beneftting from a new record de-
nand for crude oil and refined prod
ucts, accompanied by slightly higher
prices" says World Petroleum, the
American petroleum industry is forg-
ing ahead with continued profit gains.
For the first six months Of this year
it is probable that net income for the
country's major companies will range
from IS per cent to IS per cent in
excess OF that in the similar period Of
1885.

WARBLER LEAVES

RUNNING ASHORE
STEAMSHIP WESTERN SWORD
IN DISTRESS NEAR PuLAs-
XII SHOALS; TUG SAIL Ed
LAST NIGHT

Radio dispatches received last
night advised the Wrecking Tug
Warbler that the Steamship West
ern Sword, of the Sword Line,
was in distress near Pulaski
Shoals and in need of assistance.
Preparations were at once got
ten under way, an extra crew of
wreckers were called and the
Warbler sailed for the scene about
1910 o'clock last night.
It was learned this afternoon
that the Western Sword, which is
cargo ship, in the posphate car
rying business, is aground and
the Warbler is making salvage
preparations.
The condition of this ship re-
calls to port authorities, the ac-
cident which happened to the
Eastern Sword, of the same line,
on September IS, 1882, when the
vessel went ashore southwest of
Kingfish Shoals.
When the advices were receiv-
ed in Key West, the Wrecking
Tug Relief, of the same company
as the Warbler, went to the yes
SEES assistance, and worked
through September 10 when the
ship was floated.
In the meantime the ships cap
tain came ashore and left the city,
and it became necessary for the
owners to appoint another captain
to take the vessel to her destina-
ton.

PARROT DRINKS
LIKE OLD SOAK
PARADEs UP AND DOWN IN
SALOON; TAKES NIP
QUITE OFTEN

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., Feb.
18.Jimmy, a pint-sized parrot
that spends his days and nights pa
rading up and down the bar of a
saloon, must have his nip of beer
every few minutes.
For three years Jimmy has been
virtual boss of Jimmy's bar, a
side-street saloon here.
Jimmy drinks like an old soak,
and rarely gets drunk nowadays.
When he first began his Ubiquitous
career, he used to fall off the bar
and fly into the big mirror behind,
knocking glasses and bottles from
the shelves.
Jimmy often takes a nip from a
customers beer or cocktail with
or without invitation. He climbs
upon shoulders, and likes to ex-
plore overeoat pockets.
One tipsy customer carried Jim
my away in his overcoat pocket a
couple of years ago. Maynard Cad
mus, the proprietor, traced Jimmy
and his escort from one saloon to
another. When he finally caught
up, they were both drunk.
Jimmy is about 15 years old and
once toured the country with a
magician who pulled him out of a
high silk hat every night.
