Wireless messages to Rear Admiral Roger Welles said chlorine s was pouring from the conning tower of the craft last Saturday 24 hours after she had beached and that a heavy sea was running. The destrovers Sinclair, McCawley and Meade are standing by the H-1 and the destroyer Woolsey and the fuel ship Neptune are enroute to the scene of the accident which is about 650 miles south of San Diego.

Million Dollar Project Held Up Be- cause of High Prices, At a meeting of the executive com- mittee of the Hardware City Loan corporation a few days ago the board of directors were advised not to go with the corporation building plan that was to be put in operation this spring. The plan involved an expenditure of nearly $1,000,000 for the purpose of constructing homes for the working men in New Britain to be paid for on easy terms. The sharp advance in piice of all building material in the past few months was the main factor influencing the ex ecutive committee to advise the hold- ing up of plans for the time being. The plan called for homes to be built in New Britain, Maple FHill; Berlin, Newington and Barnesdale and it constructed with the idea of thwart- ing the »lans of rent profiteers. Manager H. J. Florin made ment today that the would continue loaning easy terms to workmen home, and that the executive committee plan would in no way plan that practice. ahead state- corporation money on need of a decision of the on the building afiect the loan the corporaticn has put in in OND WARD POLITI Nominations Will Begin ri | Scramble For on Evening, of the get-together evening at The republicans ward will ing Friday headquarters in LeWiit" entertainment will be a smoker and speeches will be made.

Judge Kirkham ccmmittad her to the Connecticut State Farm at Norwich. Violates Ordinance. Judge Kirkham fined Peter Russo 25 and costs for violating the ordi- nance governing dealers in Second- hand articles. Russo was chargad with purchasing a second-hand bi- cyele from a minor. An investigation made by the police showed that the bicycle had been stolen by the boy. According to Russo. the boy came i to his store on East Main street last Tuesday and asked him to lepad him 4187 on a bicyele. Knowing that the boy was a minor, he refused his re- quest. The boy went away and re- turned Friday with a note, supposedly from his parents, giving him permis- sion to sell the article. However, the court imposed the fine because the man has no license to purchase sec- ond-hand articles. Russo appeared in the local police court some time ago on a similar charge and was given = similar fine. Liquor Seized.
