From 11 o'clock until midnight last night, five calls were received at police headquarters in the burglar scare which is now an epidemic in the "hill" section of the city, and notwithstanding the fact that the district was thoroughly combed by detectives in plain clothes and uniformed policemen, no suspicious characters were gathered in. Prosecuting Attorney Alexander W. Creedon was at police headquarters when one of the calls came in, and took the detective sergeants out in his automobile, and patrolled the neighborhood with them in an effort to round up the miscreants.
Several were stopped and questioned as to their business but were allowed to go after they had assured the policemen they were on legitimate errands. None of the attempted "breaks" were successful, and others were purely precautionary alarms sent in by citizens.

'In the past it would be conservative to say that 50 per cent, of the cases brought to our attention have been due to drink. For instance, aside from the -people directly affected, we mav be called noon to aid a mother and four or five chil- aren. because the father of the family haa been incapacitated through drink or has deserted them."

Just as he rounded the corner, preparatory to driving under the railroad bridge below Meriden, his machine was rammed by the New Jfork car, which was traveling too fast to be stopped seon enough to avoid it. IkJth machines were damaged, hut the Hartford car had much the worst of it. with a bent axle, smashed mudguard and battered body, while the damage to the New York machine was confined largely to a bent hodv.
According to Mr. Smith, the driver of the New York car pulled a card out of his pocket bearing the name of James Karasick, president of the Kar Engineering Company, Incorporated, of No. 79 East 130th street, New York, then jumped into his car and drove away.

Two big British steamship companies the Cunard and White Star are considering establishment of terminals at Montauk Point. I to compete with the United States shipping board's pro- i jected four-day transatlantic service wun two new i.uuu loot liners to oe built for operation out of Fort Pond Bay, it was learned here today when steamship officials returned from a trip to Montauk. Docking at Montauk. would shorten the voyage from England by 1SS miles. In connection with development of Montauk Point, it also waa learned today the Pennsylvania railroad would guarantee a two-hour service between Montauk and New York, allowing the Baltimore ft Ohio and Lehigh Valley railroads to participate in the new business.
Another plan giving access to Montauk to the New York Central and New England railroad lines by way of Hell Gate bridge and fast ferries from New London. Conn also was said to be under consideration in order to provide New Kngland with direct connection to the proposed terminal. The French steamship lines, however, are said not to view the Montauk plan with favor, asserting passengers would object to a 200 mile trip being added to their journey in addition to train travel from London or Paris to British or French ports of call. Ralph Peters, federal manager of the Long Island Railroad and formerly president of the road for fourteen years, declared in a statement tonight that while plans for utilizing Long Island as a shipping terminal seemed "perfectly logical" for passenger service, fast high class express and some' perishable freight, New York need not fear such competition, as cargo vessels would have to continue to use New York. COHEN WARNS DEALERS NOT TO MISINTERPRET NEW HAVEN RELEASES Assistant United States District Attorney George H.
Cohen said last night that he did not wish liquor dealers In this state to misinterpret the release of the seven men in New Haven held for liquor sales in violation of the war-time act. "These men were released on my instructions as I did not believe the evidence against them was sufficient," Mr. Cohen said, "but I do not want dealers to infer that this has any bearing on the decisions of Judge Chatneld. or that it indicates any laxity on the part of the department in this state. These men were released merely because the evidence was insufficient in their individual cases." McLEAN REPORTS EDGE'S BANK BILL "Washington, July 25.

No refreshments were sold at the park. state Police Commission: Gentlemen: You have submitted to me for my opinion thereon the following questions: "Under Chapter 85 of the Publie Acts of 1919, has tne state police commission, as such, any authority or iurisdiciion in the matter of arahting licenses in public amusement parks, or of prescribing any ruies under w-hich they mav be granted, or is this duty a personal one imposed upon the superintendent of state police Independent of- the commission?" The language of this act admits of no other construction than that the authority for issuing licenses for amusements in public amusement parks rests entirely with the superintendent of state police. Whether a license should or should not be granted is to be determined on his own judgment on the facta as they appear to' him. In my opinion the state police eom-ission has nothinar to do with the mission has nothing to do with the granting of licenses In amusement parks, or to orescribe rules undr which they may be granted.

BRETAI Manufacturers Say that Output Will Be About One-Half the Normal ProductionIndicates that Prices Will Increase Soon Expect Building Boom, DOCTORS AGAINST QUIGLEY'S VETO (Special to The Courant.) NEW BRITAIN, Saturday, July 26 The brick manufacturing situation in New Britain and vicinity presents many interesting phases.
The brick production here will be about one-half the normal output, and because of de mands higher prices may be Brick today is selling for about JIG per 1,000, which is higher than In peace times, but it is not as high as prices have been. Manufacturers say that higher prices mav be exoected. 'The brick manufacturing business Is very good." said Frank H. Holmes of the Holmes Brick Company. 'There has been a noticeable increase in the demand in the past week or two.
Springfield is striking a building boom and Hartford and Bristol have been experiencing a boom for some time. In New Britain the demands have not as vet been as great as might be expected. The Corbin and Fafnir factories and school buildings projected are the only big jobs in the city. The total amount of brick in these jobs will probably amount to New Haven has a big factory reconstruction and in the mill towns of Pan-tucket, Fall River and Providence there are signs of big business. The brick production of 100.000 000 which may be obtained this year may not meet all the requirements.
Ordinarily the season's output of manufacturers in this vicinity would be 200,000.000, The brickyard workers are receiving higher wages than at any time in history and therefore the consumer will pay the advanced price. Every effort being made to procure a big production." It has been a subject of comment that the price of brick has not increased as has the cost of other build-in; materials. A manufacturer who makes a deep study of the situation makes observations on the general situation. 'Big building projects winch will not require bank loans will continue 1 am afraid that the small property owner may be 'nipped' in projected building," said the hrick-maker. "Bankers with whom 1 have talked are somewhat skeptical, despite the great demand that there is for tenement house construction.
Thev will hesitate to make loans on 50 per valuations, when before the building is completed a lean of 90 per cent, of in original estimate wilt be required, all due to the advance of materials. Building operations for municipalities and the state will not be affected in that way. On the whole the business outlook is good." The J. H. Connley Brick Company plant at Berlin which was destroyed I by fire a month ago may not he re-1 buiit snd that being so there will be a further reduction In the output in this stction.

DOCTORS SORE AT VETO OF QUIGLEY Class I.rglMntion. Mayor's Fxeuae for Tronic Deelsloil, Seems a l.onil Wa Off.
With the arrest of several doctors during the past few weeks fr.r allowing their automobiles to remain standing in one spot in the restricted districts more than forty minutes, medical men are becoming more and more incensed at Mayor Quigley's veto of the council in recommending an ordinance which would exclude the doctors from arrest for violation of the parking rule. It is possible the matter wiil be brought into the council again, and a move made to have the council veto the mayor's veto if he deems it wise to veto. When the doctors on a previous occasion asked the council to them special permission to let their machines stand as long as necessary anywhere, the council considered 'it a fair proposition and voted to recommend such permission. Then the matter went to the mayor for sanction and he vetoed it. the -ouneil lacking gumption enough to back rn their belief and pass it over his so the matter died right Th be Tne doctors fall to see where st ch a term is fitting because their reason tor asKing the permission is not tor their own convenience for jr the convenience of the public.
One doctor cited a rase where he was called to a house in the extreme northern part of the city to tr-at a child who had swallowed a piece of meat He grubbed his bag. rushed out to his machine standing outside his office 'way through Main street got to the house as quicklv as the trip could be made. The child had stopoed breathing as far an could be observed hut his heart was still going, and tne doctor bv artificial respiration, after removing the meat with forceps, got him breathing araiii and saved the lad's life. The life was saved by a few seconds. That same doctor at present keeps his automobile on Washington street and if he were obliged at the t.me of the incident related, to go to Washington street to get his car and then travel to Jasalle street, the t-'ld would be dead There are about five doctors in the National Bank building and two of them have so that only three machines would be parked outside.
Across the street there are four doctors, three of whom do not kep their machines parkod in front of their offices, anyway so that traffic congestion to any rrrst degree would not be caused if the doctors were allowed to park their machines. It is impossible for them to leave their offices and move the machines because no doctor after performing a minor operation would leave the patient until he or she is fully recovered f-om the effects and most of the time that means fortv minutes or nrre. verai doctors have been fined and Al PEACE TREATY Says They Would Open Door to Renewed International Dissension. Washington, July 25, Any reserva- i senator r-tttman of isevaaa, a demo cratic member of the foreign relations committee, in an address today in the Senate. Senator Pittman cited the Spanish Treaty of 1819, to which the Senate attached a reservation as to papal claims in Florida, and said that although the Spanish government attached the same reservation, the treaty had to be ratified a second time because the two stipulations were differently worded He pointed out that the supreme court later had held this reservation to be Dart of the treaty and that a treaty was in its essence a contract.
"Japan's most bitter fight at the council table." he continued, "to grant the league jurisdiction to prevent the United States, Canada and Austria from excluding Japan from their territories under tne immigration laws. Think you that the Japanese government will neglect the op-, portunity to again insist upon reservations in the treaty covering this point? "Think you that the Italian Parliament, having the opportunity by reopening of negotiations, would hesitate to place in the treaty reservations which they believe are necessary to. protect' her interests at Flume, Dai-matia and along the Adriatic when we had set the example? "Would there be cause for surprise if, in the circumstances, the Parliament of Great Britain should feel justified in adding a reservation to the treaty when it goes back to them to the effect that the clause providing for limitation of naval armament shall not, by reason of Great Britain's peculiar situation, apply to that government? Unless we approve this treaTy as it stands then we onen the door to renewed international dissension Thft nation. the world mav all be against us, and in the League of Nations they may violently miscon strue the articles affecting our interest.

The Pan German newspapers in Berlin yesterday printed with caustic comment an article by A. Mitchell Palmer, former American custodian of enemy property, concerning the confiscation of the property of Germans in the United States while he was in office.
(Presumably this was an abstract of Palmer's articles in a current American magazine). The "Local Anzeiger" says it proves conclusively for what purposes the United States used the war snd why It entered the conflict. The "Deutsche Taies Zeitung" heads its article, "The Deliberate Destruction of German Possessions in America." while another. Pan German organ characterizes the report as showing "A robberv campaign against German property." CROWELL CO. GETS COLLIER'S WEEKLY New York, July 25.

COAL SITUATION POORER THAN IN PAST THREE YEARS Denier Says Two Years Previous, Though Had, Were llrtter Than This Year. New Britain is facing a serious coal problem, according to a man prominent in the business. This dealer stated yesterday that the production is not as good as in previous years, and what is produced will cost more than ever before. Miners demand $fi a day. and if they receive What they hope to get eventually, their pay will be even higher than that figure.
Last year and the year before were comparatively poor years for the coal business, he added, but this year will be worse than either of those two. To show how acute the situation has become for some local dealers, an instance may be cited of one dealer borrowing a single ton of coal from another dealer a few days ago to fill an order he had on his books. Just at present nut coal is bringing $13 a ton, but a dealer selling it at that figure said that if he were asked concerning the possibility of it advancing, he would say the chance of an increase is about 100 to 1. In lease the production should prove suf ficient to care for the demand the price is bound to be higher than ever i before because of freight rates, the increase in wages at the mines and at the yards. The present weather Is not the sort ithat would prompt one to think about jcoal, but the winter is not far off.
