LICENSES OF BARBERS'.
Hearing On Bills For Repeal of the
License System.
Hartford, April L Barbers from al1
portions of the state were present at
the hearing before the committee on
public health and safety yesterday
afternoon. The barbers were present
to favor the bills repealing the 1'
cense law for barbers and providing
for proper inspection of barber shops
by local or town health officers.
Secretary Heineman of Meriden pre
sented a substitute for the bills which
do away with the barbers' commission.
In favoring the repeal of the license
system he said that the system had
become a farce.
Charles Weisner of Meriden. repre
senting the boss barbers, said that the
license system had been a great in
jury to the boss barbers, in that it
kept the Rood men out of the state,
because they objected to the fee.
In advocating the inspection of shops
by health officers instead of by th
commissioners, he said that his shop
had never been properly inspected.
Mr. Weisner also spoke of "graft"
in the license system, c'aiming that
bad barbers can get a license even If
they don't pass examinations, provid
ing they pay money enouerh. Mr. Weis
ner admitted That he had no personal
knowledge of any man paying more
than $5. which Is prescribed by law,
for a license.
Representative George B. Chancier
of Rocky Hill, said that the majority
of the journeyman barbers wanted the
commission.

THAT BLAZE IS IN PROGRESS
NEW SYSTEM CALLS FOR
STROKE A SECOND PUTTING
WIRES UNDERGROUND.
You may think that the fire laddies
get out of the engine houses in great
time now, but just wait until all of the
engine house gongs are speeded up
to a stroke a second. Anyone pulling
a fire alarm will think that the horses
come out of the box. At present there
is a stroke of the gong every 2 3-4 sec
onds with a pause of 6 7-8 seconds be
tween each number. This Is getting
the alarm in in good time and in most
instances all of the companies are
ready to go after getting the first
round unless it is a very short box. On
receiving the majority of the boxes,
however, the drivers are in their seats
before the first round is in and are
waiting to go. In this interval val
uable seconds are lost. This waiting
for the alarm to come in is because the
big tower bells are hitched up with the
small house gongs and the big ham
mers connected with the tower bells
cannot be raised and lowered any fast
er than the 2 3-4 second intervals.
During the next 60 days Supt.
Barnes of the fire alarm telegraph will
be engaged in putting the fire alarm
wires underground where there are
conduits. The commissioners have
ordered the house gongs speeded up
and disconnected from the big tower
bells. This does not mean that the
tower bells are going to be done away
with, but a manual system will be es
tablished in connection with tower
bell service. After the first round has
been sounded on the house gong ser
vice, a fireman at headquarters will
send in the alarm on the big bells. The
latter will be operated by small cog
wheels with notches in them to corre
spond with the number of the box that
is sounded.
Fire companies will be on their way
long before the first round is sound
ed by the tower bells.
The warning horns at Fairfield ave
nue and the warning signals which
Supt. Barnes will place on the bridges
will be connected with the same cir
cuit as the small house gongs so the
public in the center of the city will be
warned.
The disconnecting of the big bells is
a step toward a manual system as the
city is getting too large for an auto
matic system. The metnoa empioyea
in rlnginir the big bells will be the
same as that in New Haven. There
the big bells were cut out altogether
for a time, but the people missed them
and because of public opinion they
were placed in commission again.

KING PETER MAY ABDICATE SOON
Blamed for Set Back to Sen la in Recent
Ba'kans Trouble-
(Special from United Press.')
Belgrade, April 1. The next few
days will decide whether King Peter
will continue on the Servian throne
In the opinion of leading Servian pol
iticians. If the present angry temper
of the people continues, the King it
is expected, will abdicate, regardless
of whether the government grants him
an rtnnulty. Should the people, how
ever, swallow their discontent over tne
complete reverse that befell them in
the Balkan issue, for which Peter Is
held primarily responsible, he will re
tain the crown. The belief is general
that Peter wil abdicate.
It is said that he has already asked
the good graces of the Russian and
English ministers in an attempt to
have the government grant him an an
nuity of $50,000. One thing that holds
the King in check is his fear that his
withdrawal would endanger the con
tinuance of the House of Karageorge
vitch. His younger son, the new.y
named Crown Prince George would
succeed him In the legal course of
events but owing to the political con
ditions the people would not long sub
mit to the son's rule.
