GILLETTE ASSURED OF JOB (By Democrat Staff Man) Hartford. May 19—Governor Wil bur L. Crosg in an official statement here to-day remarked that he would not be a party to any effort to oust any official of the court of common pleas of Waterbury.

Finn's commission this afternoon and at the same time affix hill signature to the bill, which may insure William Gillette's reappoint ment as clerk of the court of com mon pleas.

Soviet Delegate To Economic Session Is Star Of Conference Muim Litvinoff Asked Complete Cessation of All Forms of Economic Aggression—Was Dominant Figure BY FREDERICK Kl'H (United Cress Staff Correspondent) Geneva. May 19. (UP)—The European federation commission bad before It to-day a broad scheme offered by Maxim Litvinoff, Soviet foreign commissar, for the complete cessation of alyl forms of economic wygrtwlon. Litvinoff Invited to the commis sion’s meeting to discuss only the economic phases of the federation plan sponsored by France Immedi ately seized a dominant position in the gathering of European diplo mat. His speech In the opening ses sion yesterday denying charges of Soviet •’dumping" and calling on the nations of the world to cooperate In a move toward economic non-agres sion caused a profound stir. It did more than that—it gave the Soviet chief delegate a leading posi tion in the parleys and again mark ed him as one of the outstanding figures at this European conference. It was recalled Litvinoff created a similar sensation during the League of Nations’ preparatory commission on disarmament session last year. Me got up and demanded that they Quit discussing limitations and pro ceed with a broad scheme of world wide abandonment of all armament. The draft of Litvinoffs pact for Economic non-aggression which the Soviet delegate proposed all nations of the world adopt provided: 1— The contracting parties recon firm the principle prolclamed at the international economic conference of 1927 for the peaceful co-existence of countries, irrespective of their so cial and economic systems. 2— The parties undertake in no wise to discriminate in their rela tionships with one another, and re gard the adoption in any of their countries of a special attitude mili tating against the interests of one or any countries subscribing to this protocol as incompatible to its prin *^*1_The protocol shall be ratified and enter into force among those countries which deliver their rati WEST'S TOP DRESSING Renews the original finish on any kind of mate rial, leather, rubber or composi tion tops.

The preambile to the pact sub mitted by L>ltvlnoft said: 1— Mitigation of the world econo mic crisis, in addition to abstention from war, requires complete cessa tion of all forms of economic ag gression, avowed or concealed, by any country or countries against other countries. 2— Cessation of economic aggres sion is essential for peaceful co operation of states in the sphere of economics, irrespective of their poli tical and economic systems. 3— Cessation of economic aggres sion will help end the present at mosphere of distrust, uncertainty and alarm which is weighing upon the economic situation. Lltvinoff In his speech defined '“dumping” as the maintenance of "high monopolistic prices in home markets with low exports prices.” He charged that capitalist countries were guilty of "dumping,” and in his counter-charges cited the recent sugar accord under which sugar producing nations will seek to regu^ late prices upward by control of production. The Soviet delegate attacked the French scheme of international in dustrial cartels which he said "keep prices high in the teeth of overpro duction.” He said the European commission should adopt a convention providing for the compulsory sale on home markets at prices not above foreign markets. He added that the Soviet government was ready to sign such a pact. Lltvinoff attacked the "preference system” if it is construed to mean extension of privileges to certain countries only, and demanded .that each European nation establish identical treatment for all states. Indirectly approving the proposed Austro-German customs union, Lit vlnoff asserted that "self-determina tion Includes the right of any coun try to enter a union with another.” MRS CHARLOTTE NIRDLINGER TO FACE HER TRIAL Former Beauty Contest Winner Will Appear in Court at Nice, France, for Killing of Husband BY MARY KNIGHT (United Press Staff Correspondent) Nice, France.

By this change we take fifty-nine pupils out of Hopeville and put them in the Mulcahy district. In order to close four rooms in the Croft school and thus make room for expansion of Leavenworth high school the committee would recommend the following changes in the Croft district. The following streets which were formerly part of Croft district will in the new set-up form part of the Bishop school dis trict: Kingsbury street Abbott avenue from 178 to end North.

Finn to the court of cohimon pleas, was held last eve ning in the Kalnbow room of the Hotel Waterbury. Over thirty of Watervllle’s best known residents, friends and neighbors of the judge, gathered to pay tribute to his per sonality and character. It was not a general community affair, as ex plained by the committee, for no hotel in the city could offer the ne cessary facilities to accommodate the number who would attend- if given the opportunity. It was a gathering of close associates eager to give manifestation of their pleas ure over the success of an Ideal neighbor. Judge Finn. Former Alderman John Jaeger officiated as toastmaster, while Al derman Arthur Dubois acted as chairman of the committee of ar rangements and was one of the principal speakers of the evening. A program of entertainment was presented during the banquet and specialities interspersed the order of speaking. Among the speakers of the eve ning In addition to the toastmaster and Alderman DuBois were Edward M. Cookson, Rev Leo Finn of Oak ville, Rev William J. Shea of Wa tervllle, Sealer of Weights and Meas ures William H. Dunlavey and Ar thur Kramer. All expressed their pleasure and tlutt the superintendent was given permission to allow the pupils liv ing on Rose street to go to the Walsh school for one year. But Walsh school is crowded In every room and the committee recom mends that the original lines giving the territory to the Woodrow Wil son school be herewith re-afflrmed and beginning In September, 1931, that the lines as laid down last year be strictly enforced. The committee would recommend that the above changes In boundary lines be adopted. The annual assignments, transfers and appointments of teachers by the superintendent were approved, The only new changes include the appointment of Ellema G. Kleinert as teacher of cooking In the grades. She Is a graduate of Crosby and the Htate agricultural college and has taken a course In dietetics at St Luke’s hospital In New York. Secre taries were appointed as follows: Eva Machlulls, Duggan school; Jane Bellmay, Walsh school; Vir ginia Overton, Merrlman school; Josephine Rqtella, Wilson school; Florence Parker, Chase school; Sally O'Brien, Webster school; Pauline Weiselberg, Bishop school; Lillian Levy, Slocum school: Anne Rudanlsh, Barnard school; Ramona Madison, Sprague school; Mavis Houston, Columbia school; Henry Zastaury, Russell school; Viola Johnson, Maloney school; Mary Jane Viola, Tinker school, and William Nicholson, Bunker H1U school.

pride over a resident of Watervllle being honored by appointment to the bench. The recognition of judge’s talents and qualifications were well merited for no one was more esteemed and admired as a neighbor and friend than Judge Finn, were the gist of the remarks of the various speakers. The tribute was one marked by every evidence of sincerity and cor dial friendliness. Various national ities and religious beliefs were rep resented in the gathering, indicating as tne toastmaster remarked, a whole-hearted spirit of co-operation among Judge Finn's neighbors to give evidence of theif personal hap piness in the distinction conferred on him. Former Aldermen, Jaeger in his opening address prefaced his intro duction of the various speakers ■With the following words: "Your toastmaster has often been called ‘The Fighting Alderman,’ ’The Stormy Petrel,’ ‘The Battling Alderman,’ but if by any1 chance these phrases should lit the person let me say that the armor of bat tle has been discarded, politics has no place here, for we are the ‘Men of Watervllle,’ neighbors and friends of Edward J. Finn, gathered here to honor him, to show our respect, to offer congratulations and best wishes on his appointment to a judgeship of one of our high courts. It is a great honor to receive an appointment of any kind from the governor of this great common wealth, but to be appointed a judge, to be entrusted with the ‘scale of justice,’ a pillar of justice of not only this state, but also of our na tion, is a distinction that comes to our friend and neighbor, well de served. As I realize that I haven’t the brilliant, sparkling wit of a Jesse Devine, nor the wit and ready satire of a John Cassidy, yet on this occasion I feel that ‘Qualifications reign supreme.’ A man, reserved, quiet, modest and friendly, well trained, we are proud of him as our neighbor and friend and wo feel confident that he will make an able judge.” Judge Finn’s response to the praise and tributes paid him was very brief, but also very impressive. He exprescsd himself as being very grateful to his neighbors and friends for their thoughtfulness and for the testimonial, "it is the first celebra tion of the honor that has come to me and it is just the kind of a gath ering I prefer. As I look -around this room and observe men, who. have been my neighbors for yeurs and whom I regard as my friends, I feel very happy and greatly Indebt ed to all. I am going to try hard to live up to the expectations of my friends and I trust that in the fu ture no one will have occasloh to regret the confidence Imposed in me." Judge Finn in his remarks paid a splendid tribute to those, whose sac rifices, encouragement, devotion and love made it possible for him to grasp opportunities that equipped him for life's battles—his, father and mother of beloved memory. Practically all of the speakers were of one mind in their hopes that the' appointment of Judge Finn to the courts of common pleas was but the initial step in a bril liant career. It also emphasized that whatever the future held for Judge Finn and regardless of what honors may be showered upon hint he would always remain to the res idents of Watervllle just “Ed” Finn, Ideal neighbor and friend. Entertainment was furnished by Hughes and Hughes and Schoeck, a comedy team: Steve O'Brien, pian ist; Lewis Kerwln, tenor; George Grenier, dancer and Billy Lonergan, pianist. In addition to the speakers men tioned, others at the dinner were Frank Bailey, Patrick Brehney, James Burns, Charles Deegan, Charles Denehy, Charles Draper, William Farrington, Dr Alfred Finn, Arthur Hayes, Walter Jarvis.

SELIGSON EXCLUSIVE FURRIERS 123 GRAND STREET Pbon. 4230-W a tional governmental fiat Ignores the truth that no law will be re spected or can be enforced unless supported by the moral sense and the common conscience of the communities affected by it. That national prohibition, wrong in principle, has been equally dis astrous in consequences in the hypocrisy, the corruption, the tragic loss of life and the appalling in crease of crime which have attend ed the abortive attempt to enforce it; in the checking of the steady growth of temperance which had preceded it; In the. shocking effect it has had upon the youth of the nation; in the impairment of con stitutional guarantees of individual rights; in the weakening of the sence of solidarity between the citi zen and the government which is the only sure basis of a country's strength. The Women’s organization for na tional prohibition reform, records these convictions and declares: That eleven years’ experience of national prohibition has demonstrated its adoption to have been a grievous mistake, persistence in which will consttiute a continuing threat to our country’s well being. That, in the removal from the Federal constitution of a provision which should never have been put into it lies the only reasonable hope of relief from conditions which have become intolerable. That, in our judgment a repeal adopted by the people of the re quisite number of states and the re storation to each state of its for mer power to regulate the manu facture, sale and transportation of intoxicating beverages within its own limits should be accompanied by adequate state regulartory enact ments forbidding the return of the saloon and responsive to the senti ments of the people and therefore capable of enforcement. That such enactments would drive the crime-breeding speakeasies of the present day to the same extinc tion that has already met the saloon as an institution of our national life. That, the federal government, ex ercising its power to regulate inter state and foreign commerce should protect each state in the enforce ment of its state laws according (o its true function. That, the people of the United States who have never had the op portunity to pass Judgment upon this question should be given such an opportunity and that therefore, that this may be accomplished in an orderly way and lo accord with constitutional procedure, we urge the congress to submit to conven tion of the people Jn the several states rather than to the legislatures thereof, a resolution for the repeal of the eighteenth amendment. A definite change from present conditions is essential. Not only is the youth of the country endanger ed, but all classes of people are suf fering from the effects of a law which has proved of little avail.

West two diamonds and with North's holding, be should Jump to three hearts. At contraot, the bidding would be pradically the same except that South, after North’s jump to three hearts, should go to four hearts. Tbo Play West,. the opening 1 seder, has a three-card suit headed by an aoe, and a four-card king, queen suit. It Is not generally good bridge to open a suit headed with an ace unless tt is ace and small whKSh occasionally proves profitable. Oth erwise the suit should have four or five cards. Therefore West’s cor rect opening Is the king of diamonds which South, the declarer, wins with the ace. It would seem quite natural that the declarer should Proceed at once to pull the trump, but if he does, we eda easily see that he must lose one spade, one heart, one diamond and one club. If be ./lib.'. i, V immediately knock out hie ace of clubs and game would be lost. But If he can establish the spade suit for a club discard in dummy be fore the opponents can take out his ace of clubs, he can go game, there fore his correct play is the four of spades which West would win with the ace. West would cash his queen of diamonds, and supposing, he were to shift to the club suit, the declarer would win with the ace, lead a small spade to dummy’s king, return a dia mond and trump it,- then lead his lack of spades and discard the re maining club in dummy. Declarer would then lead a trump which East would win with the ace, but the de clarer has already slutted his losing dub and game would be made. Supposing, when the declarer won the first trick with the ace of diamonds he had led a trump. East would win with the ace, play his ten of diamonds which West would allow him to hold. West should then play his king of clubs which the declarer would win with the ace. Declarer would pick up the one outsanding trump and lead a spade. West would win with the ace and would then cash his Jack of clubs. East and West in this man ner would obtain four tricks and de feat the declarer's contract one trick. Retaih control of a dangerous suit as long as possible. (Copyright, ltSl, NBA Service. Inc) The South End Literary elub held a bridge and luncheon at Washing* ton school, yesterday afternoon.

Under the crude of gasoline torches thumping u huge drum to attarct a prowd, David Belasco began the career thht was to malie him the wisard of the theater Below the favorite portrait of Belasco, at left Is Dion Bouclcault, playwright and actor of tho Wood and thunder” era, with whom Belasco was early associated At right, the theater which carries his name onward, as it looked, descried and silent, 15 minutes after the .curtain fell on the historic performance in which Miss Gahhagan, last of the Belasco proteges, carried on while the master lay dead. _ '___ (Tills Is the first of four stories relating In dramatic fashion the drama that was. the life of David Bela sco.) u ll By GILBERT SWAN. NBA Service Writer They whispered. In more supersti tious days, that his mother could cast spells and reveal the hidden secrets of the soul. And David Belasco, who became known to the world as David Belas co, was his mother’s child. His birthplace had the perfect Belasco touch. The setting was a basement in old San Francisco: the San Francisco of the bonanza days. Gold that had come so easily to many was being tossed carelessly about by“ the ban anza kings. Those Who had found it lived In palaces and established the landmarks of a metropolis. Those who rushed in to get any part of the golden reflection, lived in base iments. Abraham Hunphrey Velasco, fath er of David, lived in a basement! A basement loaned to him by a Samaritan who sympathized with his penAtless plight. He had come from London, lured by the fabulous tales of California. A Portuguese Jew, his ancestors had been routed by the Moors and had settled in England. There Velasco iPere had become one of the great clowns of Europe. “The greatest harlequin of London1' they had call ed him. The glamorous tales of America's new west turned a fine harlequin into a petty merchant of San Francisco. Abraham had mar ried a glamorous gypsy girl, who was traveling the English country sides forecasting fates. A dingy celler, lighted by thrifty prisms of sun—and a child born eight hours after the mother had been carried ashore from a ship by a doctor who had waded out to get her. In a long lifetime devoted to the magic and wizardy of stage mani pulation, David Belasco conceived no more touching setting. Outside his downstairs doorway, melodrama saturated the air. Rest lessness was in the blood. 1 roin Sacramento northward, the call of advemte high advemPe sounded. No child born within the time, given a no madic and picturesque ancestry, could escape the virus of its fever. Even as this youngster romped in the streets, another west was being born; that next frontier that had Tonopah, Goldfield and other Neva da towns for its capital. Schools were, for the most part, primitive. But thanks to the Cath olic padres who had been a historic element, there were a number of priests prepared to play mentor to the mind and soul alike. David was entrusted to. the school of a certain Father Maguire, after a brief course with an Irishman, Pat rick Burr by name. The Boy Daredevil. But school was, at least for him, a dull spot in a world of adventure. The youthful David wus inclined to tuck dime novels beneath his pillow, -rather than school bookf. And caught at this, he used the boots worn at the time as a hiding place for his lurid library. Telling of this one day,, a couple of years ago, over his undent desk above his Belasco theater in Forty Fourth street, the white-haired dean of the tneater smiled reminiscently and commented: "But that didn't last long. I ran away with a small circus not long afterward. I was barely 10 years old when I was doing a sen sational bareback trick. I invent ed It myself. The act consisted of jumping through a hoop of fire, I was billed on country barns as the boy daredevil. And today, my boy, 1 would give half the treasures 1 have collected to possess one of the posters that showed me in that role." Wrote Tliillcr at 14. In other words, tinsel had come to sparkle for him much more al luringly than gold. Atid his school ing in blogd-and-thunder tales grew Into boyish thrills, such as "Jim Black,” written at the age of 14, but never produaed. It was sub titled “The Regulator’s Revenge.” it was Just after "Laugh Clown IAugh” came to Broadway that “the old man” told me a tale by way of explaining why he was forever at tached why he \was forever attached tached to the “Eternal Pagllacci." While with the circus, he had met a clown who billed himself as “Ledo, the jester." His nanle was Kingsley. The itinerant tent show went to South America and young David developed a tropical malady. He could not go on with his act. ho the show went on without him. But LedO, attached to the lad and with no money to help him, stayed be hind too. "And begged In the streets so that I might have food and medi cal help did his down stunts on the sidewalk until my father came and got me and took me home again Poor Ledo, he died of the same fever later,” so went hlSmaHy wonder that David Belaa eo grew to be a high priest of sen timent and the sentimental. His flret appearance upon the stage had M’ la Plsarro. on his own young legs the second time, at the age of eleven, when the great Kean gave him a Job as the young Duke of York In ‘‘Rich ard III.” Other, child parts follow ed, some with Edwin Forrest. David’s father, following fron tiers, had gone Into the Hudson Bay belt, and wound up by be ing a farlly prosperous fur and tobacco trader. So when the family returned to San Francisco, David was able to afford elocution lessons. His teacher was Nellie Holbrook, who later became mother of Hol brobk Blynn, one of the Belasco star players. The lad, thus coached, began re citing pieces around town, hob nobbed with actors, and hbng a round “back stage.” One day Queen Emma, of Hawaii, came for a visit and he was asked to "speak a piece” for her. His recitation drew a royal compliment that the white haired dean often credited as stim ulating him to greater efforts. His wage, by the way, was $2 per ap pearance. z Itching feet drew him to the "new bonaza,” getting under way In Nevada, and he yas off with.the Piper Players, a vagabond troupe, claying the new mining camps. Such wandering trpudndours mark ed their entrance into a town by the banging of drums and the blow, ing trumpets. Young David was the drum beater, doubling later in the show. And it was in NeVado City that his rise really began, for there he met Dion Boucicault, one of the greatest of Die melodramatlsts, whose ‘‘After Dark” was revived but a couple of years ago to the delight of sophisticated audiences. The young Belasco had been do ing much ‘‘home work” by the light of candles and oil lamps. He wrote what they called "a fancy hand.” He had, to his credit, such works as '’The Barmaid's Revenge.” or “The Fatal Corkscrew” and “The Dying Boy’s Last Chirstmas.” To say nothing of "The Butcher’s Revenge, or Seven Buckets of Blood.” Boucicault, being duly impressed, retained the young man as his secretary. And so began an apprenticeship with one of the most prolific scriveners in play-writing history. Played 200 Roles. Meanwhile, his amazing adven tures had led him to play every character in "Romeo and Juliet”; (except Juliet):'to appear in "Un cle Tom’s Cabin" as everyone from Topsy to Simon Legree, and, while giving a private elocution perform ance, to meet the 15-year-old Ce cilia Loverlch, was later to become Mrs David Belasfco. But the time he was 27 he had played 200 roles; he* became man ager of the Baldwin theater in Sail Francisco—and he- met James A. Herne, interested the famous old timer In a play "Chums,” which later became “Hearts of Oak” and made $3000 "in the sticks. It was with this play, that B< lasco first tried to gain an entry into the "Little Old New York” of horse and buggy days. But the show flopped. Belasco would up on a park bench, hungry—and bummed his way back to the coast. But.he was soon to return to New York and to the Broadway that was his.

TUESDAY, MAY 19, 1931 What To Do? is 3 In breaking down the organization, that managed his successful gubernatorial fight Governor Cross probably didn't realize what a furore he would create in the democratic party. Maybe at that the governor isn't conscious of any schism in the ranks'. Maybe he realizes that much of the comment about the successors of State Chairman O’Sullivan and State Secretary Tone is of republican origin and is calculated to stir -up dissension just at a moment when the republican party can’t hope to "continue in power with spir ited opposition looming. There is no cause to be stampeded into any drastic reforms within Our ranks. We scored a victory last fall. We can do even better in 1932. We feel sure that when it comes time for the state central committee to select a new chairman and secretary Governor Cross will be just as prominent in naming these two officials as he was last year in picking Mr O'Sullivan and Mr Tone to manage his cam paign. He still has over a year in office. The right to pick the aides should be his. We ra'ther imagine that when the time comes it will be to the governor that the democrats will tum for advice. And judging by his performance to date he won't miss an op portunity to retain the hold that the demo cratic party now has on the state govern ment. x Should he express complete indifference to the choice of a new chairman and secretary it would mean, to our way of thinking, that Governor Cross was not desirous of another term as chief executive. Recent remarks of his at a Hartford banquet have already been construed as indicating he would not seek the nomination in 1932. However we don’t need to discuss that in connection with the internal welfare of the democratic party. It trill be another year before issues of 1932 and candidates should be proposed. In the meantime the democrats should do all in their power to strengthen their hold on public opinion. Most of us are disgusted with actions of the republican Legislature. Why minimize our chances by party warfare? There is no need to reorganize the party. The state central committee should merely rally behind men who will carry on the work P. B. O’Sullivan and "Joe” Tone started last fall. Their policies were goodL enough Do elect a democratic governor. They should be continued and men named to carry them through who will not attempt to substitute personal glory' for party advancement. There i» a new era of democratic politics in Con necticut in which the younger man must be recognized. Governor Cross realized that. So should every other good democrat. Let’s keep the party in power. The Military Posts if If President Hoover succeeds in having some 20 or 30 army posts abandoned in the near future it will be a battle royal between the chief executive and various politicians who occupy prominent positions in their own states. It is just coming to light that many of the 185 posts were established through po litical effort and remain as such because of the powerful protection extended to them. As strategic units in the defense of the nation they rank low. In fact, there has been no earthly need of them since all the redskins were cor raled in reservations and Carlisle. However, we don’t think that some of these historic army posts that must go in the cause of economy should be destroyed. They are literally monuments to the early pioneers, the men who stretched this nation from the Atlantic to the Pacific and from Canada to Mexico. As such they could still be admin istered by some government department, per haps the War Department, since it already has under its jurisdiction such places as Fort Wood, N. Y., Fort Pulaski, Ga, Fort Mc Henry, Md, and others. That they could be given up without the nation losing its mili tary efficiency is unquestioned. The Atlantic coast is dotted with military posts. They are sprinkled thickly through the Midwest and there are many in the far west. Probably two-thirds of them were originally established for protection against tile Indians. The Mississippi congressman who said that many of them could be aban doned was probably right in his estimate. He maintained it would result in a few million dollars saving in upkeep. No wonder the president was quick to second the motion with a growing deficit and decreased income. No wonder that he appointed a commission to study out the possibilities of eliminating of these posts. We wonder, though, how many citizens knew that in ?be last few years thirteen army posts had been abandoned. It isn't gener ally known. As a matter of fact there never was a public announcement until just previ ous to the president's declaration. There are quite a few posts, too. at which merely a caretaker is kept. Some are absolutely de serted. Camp Devens at Ayer. Mass, is on the list of those whose future existence is doubtful. Many others wilt probably go unless political pressure is brought to bear. It is hinted that Fort Bthan Allen in Vermont and Fort J.ogan in Utah would have been given up as army posts long since if it hadn't been for the influence of two U. S. Sena tors. It might be a good idea to have a gen eral housekeeping in forts. Deed the his ones to the states end scrap the others. w**- -i*. p,„ of thek earnings above what the daily re quirements of life compel them to spend.” he said, "is the only way the great mass of workers can make permanent and secure for themselves a part of the fruits of their work and earnings.” This is true in America and in any other non-socialistic country. It as still tree even in Rqssia. where the only hope of comfort for workers in the immediate fu ture. at least, is to save something from the pittance they receive. And whether they or. any other Coihmunist society will ever be* able to safeguard the distant future better capitalistic society can do is yet to be proved. The speaker said another good thing when he replied to the recent clamor Jo "spend more!” as if that were the sure and only way to prosperity. Spending is what money is for, but much depends on the time and nature of the spend ing. The Spendthrift saves today to spend to-morrow or at the end of*the week. The thrifty provides for his own future, saves over a longer period, in order to gain for his savings a more substantial benefit. He saves from little things.to spend for big things. He saves in prosperity to spend in adversity.* He saves in his prime to spend in his declin ing years. There are three great forms of thrift savings accounts, insurance and in vestments. They are all good. They have the merit of being at the same time good for oneself and good for the rest of society, be cause they represent money kept'usefully em ployed. It is as necessary to keep money em ployed as it is people. Savings so used are producing more wealth, in which all share* somehow, directly or indirectly. Queer Sense of Honor “Why is it,” a leader asked Grantland Rice recently, "that so many more people get so much more excited at some evidence or report of' crookedness in sports than they do. over crookedness or corruption in politics and fi nance?” Rice printed the query, and added some comments of his own, reminding read ers that when the White Sox scandal stirred the nation so profoundly a while back there were several state governors in penitentiaries about whom nobody was particularly stirred. He pointed out that a condition in the sport world corresponding to present conditions in New York or Chicago political life would have created a national uproar. It is a puzzle worth cudgelling the brains over. How can the same sense of honor and decency be so outraged by unsportsmanlike be havior in sport and remain practically indif ferent to cheating and dishonesty in the far more important realms of government and politics? It is wrong for a player to break the rules of the game, but it doesn’t seem to matter whether an official breaks the rules of office or whether the public breaks any laws. Perhaps there is some high compliment to sport concealed in the observation, but there isn’t any compliment to the public sense of honor. No More Paper Showers The New York City Board of Trade wants the metropolis to give up the custom of showering ticker tape and torn telephone books and the contents of wastepaper .baskets on visiting celebrities. It has several criti icsms of the paper-throwing habit. In the first place, it is unsuitable and undignified. It would not be considered an expression of welcome or honor for an individual host to dump his wastepaper on an individual guest. Multiplying the one host by thousands doesn’t improve the situation much. Then, the tons of paper so tossed about become a real fire hazard. Paper lodges in crevices on roofs and in other places hard to get at. and it’s mere luck if serious trouble doesn’t follow. There is also the matter of cleaning up afterwards. Of course, it gives temporary employment to a lot of men, but it is a disproportionate drain on the public purse. Well, the Board of Trade is probably right about it, but this special feature of a New York celebration does look so picturesque in the rotogravure sections! The rest of the country will miss it if it’s abolished. No Fun For The Postmen Practical jokesters have found out that the Postoffice Department’s patience has limits, though its sense of humor is as good as ever. Last year, when officials warned that freak ishly addressed mail would not be delivered, they meant it. Since then, there has been ~a gradual let-up in this childish sport. Such letters went bock to the sender or to the Dead Letter Office until the futility of sending them finally percolated into the writer’s mind. Postal employes are remarkably expert in deciphering addresses made up of symbols, pictures, or other fantastic devices. Publicity given to this ability led many people to test it out “just for fun.” It was lots of fun for the citizen, all right, but hard on the postal service. Of course, an envelope bearing a picture of a brown derby would logically go to “Al” Smith, while Amos ’n’ Andy would readily receive any mail addressed only with their radio title. But other products of abor tive ingenuity caused the postal employes to spend an inordinate amount of time directing the letters to their destination. New York’s representatives in Congress are going to make a spirited bid to elect Bertrand H. Snell of Potsdam, chairman of the House Rules Committee, next Speaker of the House instead of Representative John Q. Tilson of New Haven who as majority leader is next in succession to the speaker ship. By right of all precedent Mr Tilson is next in line and Mr Snell follows him. How ever. New York republicans are said to feel no compunctions at putting Representative Snell forward as a candidate. Of course all these plans are made with the understanding that the republican organize the House. Dem ocrats on the other hand are laughing at the excitement in republican ranks and freely pre dict that Representative "Jack" Gamer of Texas will be the next Speaker. Representa tive James S. Parker of Salem. N. Y., seems to be Mr Snell's campaign manager and he maintains that "The forty-seven electoral votes of New York are vital to republican ■uccesl in electing a president next year, and choice of Bertrand H Snell as Speaker will help tremendously to that end.” If Mr Tilton it done out of this office to which actually he is rightfully entitled, it may be just at die at the fact committee would make cadi day an exact annivenary of a corresponding day in 30' A.D., generally believed by all historians and scriptural writers to be the last year of Christ on earth. A thirteen months year ?is proposed, but there would be two whole days to be dropped right out of existence. It is claimed that in 1852 when Pope Gregory was reforming the calendar, he found in error in the Julian calendar. Hence, he dropped ten days off. Dr Charles*?. Marvin of the Weather Bureau says that even Pope Gregory’s computation of the error was wrong and there are still two more days to be elimi nated. If these two days were dropped ver? nal equinoxes and the like would come when they are supposed to and not vary as they do today. Doubtless the fate of calendar re formists will be decided this year as the League of Nations has sponsored an interna tionl conference for October. P. W. Danaher, who has charge of the city's reservoirs up at Morris, wriflts in to in form this department that if we will come up some time we will be shown forests, young and old. Mr Danaher’s invitation comes as a result of a recent comment upon firewood available in our state parks and forests. In connection with that we advocated a munici pal forest up on the municipal watersheds of Morris. We knew that there were pl nty of fine trees up around the Branch and the Mor ris reservoir, but we didn’t know that it could be called a municipal forest. However, if the trees are there that’s all that is necessary. More power to Mr Danaher and his assistants in conserving them. From now on we can expect to see our highways strewn with the bodies of animals and birds, not to mention a few human be ings, the result of reckless driving. Only in rare instances do dogs, cats, and wild'animals dart directly in front of moving vehicles. Usu ally if the driver exercises a little care he can avoid striking them. And why not save a few lives, even if they are only lowly animals? New York is wrong about excluding Communist children from the public schools. That’s their only chance to learn something sensible. Maybe the crime wave could be eased off by converting gunmen to pugilism. All vehicles must be lighted, not later than 8:36 o’clock (daylight saving time) tonight.

A few persons gathered for his funeral at a small undertaking par lor here. They included an eleva tor man at the senate office build ing. seyeral other employes from Capitol Hill, a man from the Amer ican Engineering council and a congressman. That was the end of Carroll Liv ingston Riker, who-may have been one of the great geniuses of his age. He was engineer ahd inventor, originator of stupendous projects such as other engineers may be de veloping a hundred years hence. He proposed to change the climate of a hemisphere by harnessing the mightiest Ocean currents', he as pired to alter the future of the great Mississippi valley. His breath-taking programs were so simple and so carefully planned that they often fascinated the sanest and soundest of men. Built Mississippi Model J Mr Riker was the white haired, browned but fragile gentleman, of ten seen standing by that enormous model of his Mississippi river flood control plan in the senate ofltce building basement. There the water flows down from Cairo and Cape Girardeau through a miniature of the immense three mile wide, 600 mlle long' Riker spillway and into the gulf; Rlker’s brain made the Father of Waters a-canal. His tow ers, red stoplights, water gates, power houses, levees, conduits, res ervoirs, highways along levee tops with toy motor cars and great ocean liners plying up to St Louis for two or three years have enchanted the guests and denizens of the capitol. Bent by age but lucid in mind and speech, he operated his model and explained everything to every* body in minutest detail. Quite a few capitol folk developed a deep affection for him. Since 11114 when he assured congress that a "terri ble catastrophe” on the Mississippi was certain unless the government’s “levees only” flood control, policy was abandoned, this man had per sistently, denounced the army engi neers in masterpieces of invective lit to delight any loyer of words. Foresaw Huge Profit Riker explained to all-comers how his spillway would run the i river in a new straight line through swamps and cheap land, how great power dams would be built, locks Installed to permit ocean commerce, capacity provided to handle -twice the historic peak of the river's wa ters, muddy banks replaced by sites* for docks and warehouses, levees built 70 Teet high with 100-foot tap width and tOO-foot base from earth removed in digging draipagu canals on each side of the spillway, haw the cost would be two billion dollars but how the first five years would show 10 billion dollars of profit through enhanced land values, pow er development, prevention of flood loss, highway and railroad beds and so on. The old man spent his last years working night and day to promote Senator Frasier of North Dakota gave himself Whole-hearted ly to Biker’s fight for full Investi gation of the plan by a commission of civilian engineers. Biker nad a large house near Falls Church, Va. But alongside he built himself a pretty' little green dwelling held 20 feet in the air by a tall tree-stump. It was his home for three years— a place with a bedroom-sunparlpr, electricity and electric heat His heart trouble was Increasing and Frasier, perhaps hie best friend, sometimes drove out and besought him to move Into town. At last the old man’s condition became desper ate; friends brought a physician, persuaded him to let, himself be moved down the ladder and carried Into clvlllbatlon to dio. An ablating life was over. Designed fillip Hail nt II Born on Mtaten island in 1IB4, well tutored, Hiker studied current end wnve notion In oceans and rlveib as a boy. At IT he designed the hull of the steamer Cagtledon, for years the fastest thing running around New Tork harbor. At 10 and built the first re M* Atlantic re* i of money Point, around which runs Washing ton’s famous speedway, from a wa ter-covered marsh at only half the cost as estimated and appropriated for by congress. In the Spantsh-Ataerlc&n war he presented the government with a maneuverable torpedo designed to float at any given depth. But in 1914 he was founding the Volun teers for Peace, hoping to help end the World war by conference. Planned IS’on-SInkablc Ship When the armistice came .the shipping board was experimenting with models of, his non-sinkable ship, which would carry 25,000 tons cargo, and Senator Warren G. Harding had demanded that 50 of them be built at once. Congresmen say that 10 years ago Riker proposed a system for ventil ating the house chamber which re cently was adopted. Goethals twice called him into consultation at the Panama Canal. But .probably his' greatest project, Investigation of whose possibilities was enthusiastically demanded by scientists, colleges, government offi cials, Rlker’s’ close friend Goethals. maritime and commercial associa tions, was his proposal to block the Labrador current and eliminate Its blighting effect on the warm gulf stream by Inducing compulsory sand deposits off the Grand Banks. -At an expense of <20,000,000, Riker believed, probably all the ice in the northern hemisphere could be melt TODAY IS THE", Decision on Volunteers On May 19, 1917, It was an nounced that President Wilson had decided not to avail himself of the authority to organize volunteer di visions. *'A provision In the draft bill gave him authority to form four divisions of volunteers if he so de sired. It was understood that for mer President Roosevelt was to head this volunteer army. What the president did announce, however, was that a division of the United States regulars would Be sent to France at the earliest' dato practicable, to be commanded by Major General John J. Pershing, expedition to Mexico. The secretary of navy also an nounced on this day that 26,09(1 marines would accompany the Pershing expedition. ed In summer, the polur sea warmed, Siberia and British North America transformed into desirable year-around residential countries, winter temperatures of the Ameri can and European and temperate zones greatly reduced, icebergs and fog eliminated from Atlantic steam ship lanes, the famous British fogs dissipated and so on. Senator Cald er of New Tork fought for $100,000 to Investigate and experiment; most government departments supported the measure. If the project had not been so vast, if American politics had not entered a heated stage— this was around 1912 and 1913— something probably 'would have been done about it. who had been in command HERE, THERE, AND EVERYWHERE* -|0]--T— WHAT THE EDITORS OF TIUS STATE AND ELSEWHERE HAVE TO SAY; ABOUT THIS. THAT AND TOE OTHER THING ABOLISH NEEDLESS ARMY POSTS (Christian Science Monitor) The president -and his very alert secretary of war, Patrick J. Hurley, are going to lace a struggle of ma jor political proportions- in their en deavor to reduce expedltures in the war department,- There is no pur pose indicated of reducing the size or the efficiency of-the army itself. That is nq unreasonable in Us num bers, nor is it unworthy of liberal support because of its value in other than merely wartime activities. But there have been engrafted upon the military establishment all sorts of needless and expensive properties which may very well be eliminated. The war department announces an attack upon the unnecessary army posts. These are scattered all over the JJnlted States, and al though the individual cost of each is little, the gross expenditures foot up very considerable sums. More over, the properties themselves have a certain value which might very properly be realized. Indeed, It Is reported that since 1918 nearly 9150,000,000 has been regained by the government by the sale of such property. In all probability there would be more profit accruing from such sales than from the actual saving In expenditures, since the maintenance of all the military posts, according to the 1991 budget, is only 990,696,000. However, the president will find when it comes to, the actual aban donment of 'these posts that the political opposition will be vigorous. President Coolldge in his syndicated article, published in the New York Herald Tribune and other papers, There l« nothin* more dangeroua to the preatlge of the nation and the law than the making of la the obaervanoe of which cannot enforced. —Dr Albert Hlnetein. e One llvee and worke, one hae a food time or a bad time, and all the time one growa older. —Gloria Iwanaon. tee That woman have detective poa aibllltlaa la known to every man who ever married one. —BMe( McCormick.

He says: “The interests involvel have become firmly intrenched ^n Washington. If any saving is to be made, it will re quire vigorous support from the country. The congress will move in that direction only under com pulsion.”. This may be regarded as a dis tinctly expert warning. It further more sqggests a constructive pol lc. which the country might well heed. Congressional opposition to a president’s program can be made effective only if congress believes there is public sentiment back of it. It would be well, if the task of arousing public sentiment in supr port of the president were under taken at once and vigorously pushed. mEXUNO MR O’BUIAJVAN (New Britain Herald.) More law and more Judges. Higher salaries ever so often for those who are already Judges. Truly, this is ail age—or at least a country—where Judges and the law they interpret are numbered among our increasing necessities and fast growing indus tries. The mills, of the gods, so the saying tuns, grind slowly; the mills of the courts in our day grind ever swifter, but the raw material of liti gation and crime prosecutions are' ever ten leagues out in front. Thus more courts and more Judges, more laws and more lawyers, more pro duction and higher costs. The state now has reached a total of 10 superior court Judges, having added another Judge Just this week. Instanter Governor Cross thought of a way to All it, and after various names had bsen considered, the nomination was placed upon P. U. O'Sullivan. former congressman and head of the democratic state com mittee Which functioned in such manner as to elect the governor. If there be logic to the claim that the state's Judges should be more evenly divided between adherents of the two political parties, there is good reason why the new Judge should be a democrat. The statu has been overbalanced with republi can Judges, dus to the long years of control enereisod by the grand old party In ovary department of thu state's' governmsnt.

Cullen, Claffey And Salinardi Also Given Fines Roland Pease, Alleged Owner of Place, Has Case Con tinued—Four Arrested After Early Morning Brawl Yesterday Morning—Claffey Claims He Was At tacked and Beaten Jail sentences were in order in police court to-day In the disposition of the cases of the principals in volved in yesterday morning's "grudge tight” in an alleged club at 37 South Elm street. Only appeals to the court of common pleas saved three from being transferred to New Haven this morning. They were Frank Sallnardl, 27, of 26 Ridge street, who was sentenced to thirty (lays, his companion, Lawrence Cul len, 2S, Of 83 South Leonard street, who was fined 36 and costs and given thirty days, and James Claffey, 43, of 37 South Elm street, 35 and costs and ten days. The fourth case was that of Roland Pease, 40, of 37 South Elm street, alleged owner or manager of the club. The continuance in Pease’s case was necessary owing ot the fact that in addition to the breach of peace complaint he is also charged with violation of the prohibition law. The light occurred shortly after 6 o’clock yesterday morning. Pease, who appeared in court with his head encased in bandages and his face badly marked, testified that he was sleeping in his club or place of resi dence when Salinardi and Cullen en tered the place and attacked him. He didn’t know which one of the ac cused him him but he does remember being "crashed" on the head with some instrument. He wouldn't state that It was a black-jack, but it was none the less effective. Claffey's testimony was to the ef fect that he was awakened by the disturbance on the first floor and rushed down to investigate. He also was attacked and beaten. He ex hibited a lump behind his ear. Salin ardi and Cullen did not take the stand. Both having previous records and considered the aggressors in the affair were given the severest penal ties. Pease, however, got a “break,” a bad one, in the case. Neighbors,tele phoned to police headquarters about the fight and within a few minutes the patrol and several cops were on the scene. Patrolmen Patrick Ken nedy and Dennis Carey placed the four under arrest for causing the dis turbance. Patrolmen "Connie” Shan nahan and John Calvin, who were sent from headquarters to inves tigate, discovered nearly a gallon of liquor on the premises. This con stituted sufficient evidence to warrant the additional charge of violation of the prohibition act. Pease will be ar raignd Saturday morning. 'Bonds of $600 have been furnished in the cases of Salniardi and Cullen for their appearance in the court of common pleas. In Claffey's case bonds of $200 were posted. Five bombing airplanes have ar rived in Iraq to form the nerfeus of the Iraq air force. TO FLY PACIFIC?

Mrs Nellie Arnold, of Meriden, will again be vice-president; Mrs A L. Smith of the same City will be sec retary orice more and Mrs Dora Hatch, also of Meriden, will be re elected treasurer. Directors and com mittees will be elected and appoint ed. 20 years for attempting to rob a bank. Judge Jones explained that the additional sentence would serve to eliminate the possibility of a parole or pardon. He also Imposed a fine of $5,000 on Michael. SUCH CHIVALRY!

MISS ZIGLATZKI IN SONG RECITE Presented Artistic Program of Songs Last Night at Women’s Club WIDE RANQE~OF SONGS Miss Ethel Caghans Ziglatzki, lyric soprano, presented an artistic program of songs last evening at the Waterbury Women’s club auditor ium, An appreciative audience was present to hear Miss Ziglatzki in a most pleasing variety of songs, in cluding selections in Italian, Eng lish, German, and French. The pro gram was nicely balanced and the artist sang with care and style. Dur ing her program Miss Ziglatzkl was presented with two old-fashioned bouquests. Mrs Robin Ogden, pian ist, very capably accompanied her. Miss Zlglatzkl’s first three num bers, in Italian, were "Separazione” by Sgambati, ’’Girometta” by Sibel Ia, and Mimi's song from Puccini’s opera “La Boheme,” "Mi chiamano Mimi.” The singer achieved nice effects in these numbers, a lightness und delicacy of tone in the second, and a deeper tone quality in her Puccini. Color and richness of tone were noticeable in Miss Ziglat zkl’s medium register. She followed these songs with one Schumann and two Schubert songs, “The Nut-tree,” “The Trout,” with its rippling piano accompaniment, and "Who Is Syl via?” These songs with the three in the next group are songs of real beauty and greatly favored by music lovers. In the singing of theme Miss Ziglatzki did some especially nice work. Brahms "Vergebllches Staen shen,” “Sonntag,” also by Brahms, and Liszt’s “Die Lorelei” were of particular appeal. Micaela’s air from Bizet’s opera, "Carmen” “Jc dis que rien ne m’epouvante,” a very beautiful number, was next sung. Then fol lowed a County Antrim song, “A Ballynure Ballad,” and two songs by Grieg, “The Princess” and “I Love Thee.” Miss Ziglatzki seemed to catch the mood of the composer in these as in her other selections. In her last group Miss Ziglatzki presented a variety of songs that she sang with unusually good style and interpretation. The first was a request number. Farley's "The Night wind.” Cyril Scott’s beautiful “Lul laby,” Bantock’s “Feast of Lan terns,” Powell's “To a Butterfly,” and Clokey’s difficult piece "The Cat-bird” concluded the program of attractive numbers. The singer received applause af ter each of her groups, and at the close of the program gave two en core numbers, “The Cuckoo,” and “Specially Jim.” Hull.

Classes in parliamentary law, cit GREAT DEFICIT IN TREASURY OF UNITED STATES BY PAUL K. MAIiLON (United PresB Staff Correspondent) Washington, May 19.—(UP).— President Hoover's economy drive was upsrred en by a realistic de velopment to-day -when the treasury balance sheet turned up with a de ficit ot $973,870,592.23. Visions of a possible tax lhcrease were raised by this mounting figure as the bookkeepers of four govern ment departments—navy, treasury, post office and agriculture—made ready to face Mr. Hoover with their budgets. They will be called to ac count individually at successive week-end conferences at the Rapidan camp before the end of the fiscal year, June 30. With two department Conferences already over, Mr. Hoover’s task aeemed almost insurmountable. Hardly a scratch has been made In the outlays for the war and interior departments. A little over $4,000,000 Is the sav ing planned In the Interior, while war department economies are hard ly expected to boost this figure above $10,000,000. With $974,000,000 needed to make the books balance, the $10,000,000 saving prospect has been somewhat disheartening. To dig deeper into federal expen ditures would interfere with the ex pansion program to which Hr. Hoover Is wedded as a step to coun ter-act the business depression. In working matters out the savings may amount to more than existing figures would indicate, but the slxe of the deficit has made it evident that some other way than cutting expenses must be (pund to make the books balance. Treasury officials expect the de ficit may reach a billion dollars be fore the end of the fiscal year—a deficit higher than all the expenses of government 4 years ago. It was the 6$d oongress which raised gov ernment expenditures to that figure, a development so astounding at that time It became a political issue. The defense of the Increases was mads by Speaker Reed, whose re mark, “this is a bllllon-dollar coun try,” was famous enough to last un til the present day. Government expenses aro annually running near the $4,000,000,000 mark now. lOxpeneoa to data as shown in the treasury accounts amount to $$•400,101,000 with six weeks to go. Largest expenditures are In the veterans bureau, $440.000,. 000 and the war department, $4$$, 000,000. kum gam* blrda Have baan I Japlatad In numbar tho i>n«l few I mn, tha Uni tad Mlataa Impnrtwil mora than »M#0 <iunll (ram Mail- J aa during (ba »aat aaaaaa.

This was the announcement made at the meeting of the Mutual Aid Unem f ployment Fund, Inc. executive com mittee held yesterday at the Citi zens Manufacturers National bank. It is quite possible that the pledges, started for a four month period, will be reduced from time to time, as the committee feels that it only needs about half the amount I for the summer. This means that only $7,500 will be needed each week Instead of the 115,000 originally collected. Indus tries will match dollar for dollar as heretofore with their employes. Men with families, now working three days a week, will be put on the payroll for four days. The bal ance of the fund yesterday showed $27,793.04. There are about 700 men on the payroll, said Mr Harris, while at one time 1,900 were working. Men will be added to the list, as there are some who are In dire need of employment.

A mistake was evi dently made in this vote for the senior burgess must be a republican whtle Burges Burke is on the dem ocratic side. The same error was made on the vote for second senoor burgess, Maurice Anenberg, demo crat, receiving six votes and William Noble, one. This office according to the charter must go to a democrat.

Committee Named The various board committees for the year were approved by the board when presented by Warden Green. They are finance, Burgesses John Burke, John Sheridan and Tracy /ioble; streets and sewers, Bur gesses Burke, Anenberg and Wil liam Noble: street lights, Burge.-sses Anenberg. Sheridan, and William Noble; lire, Burgesses Sheridan and Tracy Noble; tax abatement. Bur gesses Anenberg, Burke and Zwiek; licensee committee, Burgesses Burke 'and Zwlck. The board authorized the warden to make their temporary loans ac may be necessary to mbee the eur lent expenses of the borough dur 'ing the ensuing year. Salary Set at f!MOU The board voted to set the sal ary of Superintendent of Streets 'Gorman at $2,500, the same as now ■fjtaid. Burges Anenberg made the motion. Burgess Henry Zwiek exxpressed the opinion that the matter of sal aries should be given great con sideration at the present time. He ytated that the general feeling was that under existing conditions there should be curtailment and that it was time to plan for a reduction of taxes. The time was ripe now he stated to start. He thought that un der the existing condition at this time when people are working much harder for les smoney in other in dustries that $2,000 a year would bo sufficient for the street superinten dent. Warden Green replied that at the present time the superintendent of strets Is called upon to do more work than ever with the industrial depression to handle. The warden further stated he felt that the right man in the position could save the borough many dollars in the course of a year which was something to be considered. Burgess Sheridan ex pressed the opinion that the street superintendent earned his salary and he felt that he should not be paid only the same wage as street depart ment foremen. He felt that if cuts were to be made no one should be singled out; there should be a re duction a|l along the line. Warden Green stated that the salary of the street superintendent before it was made a flat figure of $2,500, amount ed to $2,365 a year as the borough allowed $1 a day transportation ex penses to the street superintendent. The warden explained that the bor ough now owns the car used by the superintendent and furnishes the gas for the car. He figured that if the car is used by the department for only a two year period it saves the borough about $200. Burgess Zwick questioned about the borough sup plying gas for the superintendent’s car and Warden Green replied that it was the system in vogue when he came into office. Burgess Zwick stated that the borough was not sup posed to furnish gas under the old system. Burgess Zwick also voiced the opinion in relation to the street departmenet foremen that they should be cut in line with conditions. When the vote was taken on the mo tion Burgess Zwick registered, against the $2,500 figure being paid. Polish Residents Flic Petition An investigation will be made by the board on*a petition filed by the committee of the Polish-American Political club requesting that ’the! board investigate treatment accorded’ Louis Granica and his mother, Mrs Grancia on May’l. when Louis was taken into custody by Chief Adam son and Officer Anthony Malone, Jn. The complaint alleges that the offi cers used rough treatment in taking him into custody and also handled his mother roughly. William PlosUi secretary of the committee that drew up the petition spoke before the board on the matter. He stated that if the board sustained the request of the petitioners and found that the officers were guilty as charged It was the desire of the petitioners to have the officers suspended. He introduced to the board Robert Irving of Union City, stating that the case cited in the petition was not only one in which the officers were guilty of rough handling. Mr Irving appeared before the board and told of being taken Into custody with two oth^r youths on charges of vagrancy while they were camping at Allerton’s Farms. At police headquarters he said lie was questioned by Chief Ad amson and Officer Malone. The chief asked him where he was the Satur day night previous and what remarks he made to the other two young men about answering on# at a time. He said that he was then shoved against the lockers. The chief asked him, he states, where he got the tennis shoes he was wearing and when he answer ed that he bought them at a local salesroom, he called him a liar and he was again slammed against the locker until he thought his head would break. It was not made clear which officer did the slamming. War den Green asked Irving at this point why he had not filed charges with the board at that time. Mr Irving did not answer. Warden Green said that it was not fair to the members of the police department not to have formal charges made if there was a grievance and to give them an WE MAKE OLD SHOES LOOK NEW Have your old shoes repaired at Greco’s Repair Shop and you will be surprised to j get a clean finished job at the lowest |f prices.

She is shown above. opportunity to be present and give their side of the story. He said the board was always ready to hear any fair complaint and assured him that they would be given due considera tion. When Mr Ploskl stated that it was the desire to have the officers susoended, the warden called atten tion to the fact that the petition did not mention this and asked him if it was the desire to have it incorporat ed in the petition. Mr Ploski confer red with other members of the com mittee and stated that he thought it should be Incorporated. Burgess An enberg moved that the petition be returned to the committee for furth er consideration if they wished to make changes. It was finally decided to allow the petition to stand. The communication was accepted and up on the suggestion of Warden Green the entire board will act as a com mittee to investigate. The warden as sured the Polish residents that the petition would be carefully consid ered and if it was-deemed necessary the committee will be informed by the board if they are wanted. Mr Ploski in presenting Mr Irving said he did so in answer to news paper articles quoting Chief Adam son as claiming that he had never used rough tactics in handling pris oners. I<ady of Mt Carmel Celebration The board granted permission to Our Lady of Mt Carmel society to hold their annual celebration on July 15 and 16. The usual celebration will be staged the communication from Felix Nardello, Sr., stated. A waiver was received from prop erty owners on Marshal avenue for the street and grade lines.

Llngenheld local accountant to Install a new bookkeeping system for the borough. An appropriation of $1500 was made by the freemen to have the new system Installed. Mr Llngenheld was engaged after the board had discussed the matter at some length. Warden Green stated that no figure as to the cost had been obtained. Accounting firms he stated would give no figures at to the probable cost unless they knew something of the system to be in stalled.

The board voted to accept the offer of the G. I. R. Glove company to ullow the use of their incinerator on Rubber uvenue for use by the public for the burning of papers and cartons made of paper. The company stipulated that a man must be sta tioned at the spot by the borough to look after it and also that no tin cans or ashes be thrown there.

PAGE ELEVEN WATERBURY EVENING DEMOCRAT, TUESDAY,, MAY 19, 1931 Classified Ads IN THE DEMOCRAT BEACH OVER 60,000 PEOPLE DAILY (Efp Iflatfrlmrjj Autocrat May Be Quizzed In Merriman Case Templeton Said to Have Seen “Death Car” Twice Before Victim Was Found—Owner of Truck Which Killed Stevens, Claims Vehicle Evidence was recorded to-day by Deputy Coroner Walter W. Smyth In the three fatal automobile acci dents, which occurred In Waterbury and vicinity over the week end. It was expected to-day that for mer Governor Charles A. Temple ton would be quizzed as a witness in the Inquest being conducted in the death of Everett B. Merriam, 26, of 7 First avenue, whose lifeless body was found near the Chase boulevard late Saturday evening. According to volunteer witnesses the youth must have met his death between 9:lt> o'clock and 9:80. p. m. One party claims to have passed a machine that was swaying and zig zagging as it approached a curve. Another testified that the lights of a car standing on the lawn of one of the residences of the parkway were pointed toward the highway. Former Governor Templeton is also credited with having observed the machine about 10 o’clock and to have commented on it at the time. He also noticed it an hour later. It wks shortly after 11 o’clock that the body waB found. The deputy coroner and the police who are also investigating the case now believe in the light of addition al evidence that Merriam driving -down the ooulevard was either blinded by the headlights of another machine or forced off the highway. His machine turned turtle once or twice oh the lawn of one of the res idences. The youth met instantane ous death. Scores of cars passed the scene of the tragedy, but none stopped to investigate, many be lieving that it was a machine con taining “lovers.’’ Merriam left the Waterbury Country club at 8:45 o’ clock. He was on his way to meet a friend at the Union Station when he met his death. In the probe of the death of How ard Stevens, 16, of 41 Myrtle avenue, who was crushed to death between a truck and tree oft the Oronoke road Sunday morning, the only new development was the appearance of a claimant for the machine involved in the accident. It was a Chevrolet truck on which the unfortunate youth was riding with two companions. The Stevens lad rode on the left running board. Edward McDonald of Hob bins street was on the right side and Otis Caouette of 25 Highland avenue was in the cab. The driver was An drew Ballinger, .17,' of Princeton, N. J„ but formerly of this city. To avoid a ditch he pulled sharply to one side, the machine went up an embankment, bumped over some rocks and crashed into a tree, crush ing the Stevens youth. He suffered severe internal injuries, Including seven fractured ribs. He died four hours later in the Waterbury hos pital. Ballinger ran away from the scene of the accident and is still missing. The machine is the property of Judge Edward A. Armstrong of Princeton, N. J., who -leased his farm to one Charles H. Coleman, Jr, of Princeton. The latter employed Bal linger. The youth taking the truck without permission drove to Water bury early Sunday morning and In vited his former pals to take a ride. The authorities of Princeton and New Bedford, Mass, where Bal lingers parents reside have been asked'to be on the lookout for him. This afternoon Deputy Coroner Smyth had made arrangements to question John O'Brien, a guard at the Cheshire Reformatory, whose machine struck and killed Carl Ed win Nordstrom. 41, of Hamden. This fatality took place on the Cheshire Milldale road, near Black's corner, early Sunday morning. Nordstrom walking toward Milldale in a blind ing rain storm was hit and thrown into a ditch. He was dead when O'Brien, with the help of Frank and Luke Stapleton, residents. of Cheshire, found the body- O'Brien was the only witness to the tragedy BIG SHIPMENTS FROM CLEVELAND Cleveland, O..

The treasurer's report showed total expenditures $168,785, and receipts of $163,065, which after taking into account “receivables” leaves a net deficit for the current year of $3,147. This is the first current deficit of the Y. M. C. A. since the new build ing era, and the first deficit which General Secretary Herbert S- Smith has reported in 25 years as a general secretary. The executive committee pointed out that Waterbury’s record during the depression greatly exceeds the record of other Y. M. C. A.’s when times arc good. The three Water bury Y. M. C.
