PACKERVILLE, CONN,, CHURCH DESTROYED Was First Church in United States to Welcome Negroes As Equals. Packerville, Conn., July 28.—The lloss of the Baptist church here by ‘fire. after being struck by lightning Tuesday recalls the fact that this building figyres prominently in the ‘history of this section. It was built in 1829, and was credited with being the first church in the United States which welcomed negroes as equals. dn it one of the first women's tem- perance societies was formed, if not the first and from this body grew the Women' Christian Temperance Union. Mrs. Chloe Truesdale, aged 87, who lives nearby was one of the members of the original society. Among families who worshipped in the church and whose names have been prominent in New England af- fairs were the Burleighs, Garrisons, Frosts, Galusha A. Grow, Long, a congressman from Pennsylvania; Judge Asa Packer, builder of the Le- high Valley railroad and Rev. Dr. Charles Spaulding of Boston, long president of the American Baptist Publishing society. The church was long known as the Baptist Church of Freedom. MUST RIPEN FRUIT Law Making Bodies at Jamaica An- nounce Draft of Ruling Governing Shipments. Kingston, Jamaice, July 28.—The legislative council today passed a law prohibiting the purchase and expor- tation of immature fruit. The meas- ure was the outcome of ‘the keen competition between American fom- panies purchasing and shipping ban- anas from Jamaica and the other British West Indian islands. The colonies of .the British West Indies have decided upon a uniform customs tariff. Arrangements are be- ing made to give preference to Can- adian goods, principally flour. In re- turn, Canada is to give preference to West Indian products, principally sugar and orangees. PLAN HIGHWAY PROGRAM Frominent Engineers in Session At Maryland Hope To Save Millions By Their Cooperaton. College Park, Md. July 28.—The foundation for research which is ex- pected to save millions of dollars in road conmstruction and maintenance in all parts of the country was laid here yesterday by 39 prominent highway engineers, economists, manufacturers and government officials whose work is closely related to highways and highway transportation. The meet- ing was called by the highway trans- port committee, of which Prof. C. J. Tilden, dean of the engineering school of Yale university is director. The importace of the conference was brought out by Roy D. Chapin, chairman of the highways committee of the national automobile chamber of commerce who made the statement that highway transport now involves a total capital investment in excess of that of the railroads and that the annual cost of operating and main- taining highways almost equalled the operating cost of the railroads. FIRST STEPS TODAY. New Yori. July 28.—First steps in a legal battle to determine possession and control of nine steamships seized hero last week by U. S. Shipping Board from the U. S.

THEIR ACTIVITIES To Seek Aid in Latin-America— British Urge Patience Buenos Aires, July 28.—An effort to interest Latin-American nations in the cause of Irish independence will be made by Laurence Ginnell, a mem- ber of the Southern Irish parliament who arrived here yesterday. He car- ried credentials trom Eamonn De Valera, leader of the Irish republicans and plans to visit all the more im- portant republics of South America. Patience is Urged London, July 28.—Speculations and predictions regarding the Irish situa- tion have taken many peculiar turus as a result of developments featuring the negotiations during the past 24 hours. Of these developments, perhaps the most talked of is a speech made. in the house of lords yesterday by Lord Birkenhead, lord high chancellor, in which he invited parliament and the country to have patience with the trouble Bamonn De Valera, Irish re- publican leader and his colleagues may be having in Dublin to reach a decision on the British proposals. He aiso intimated that the negotiations may continue for several weeks. Other outstanding features of the day were prolonged discussions of the proposals by the Irish republican cabinet, a communication Premier Lloya George is reported to have re- ceived from Mr. De Valera and the postponement by Gen. J. C. Smuts of .iis departure for South America until august 5. The communication from Ue Valera is reported to have asked ior further elucidation on several doubtful points in the proposals while e action of Gen Smuts in remaining here is taken to mean that he feels his services as mediator may again be needed. All these things taken -together prompt this morning’s newspapers to believe that several days may pass be- for any additional developments will be noted. Several newspapers print “authoritative denials” that Mr. De Valera has communicated with the premier but admit that such a note may arrive at any time, although some even go as far as to say this is unlikely within the present week at least. The question of assembling the en- tire Dail Eireann to consider the British government’s proposals is now regarded by many newspapers as hav- ing a very important bearing on the progress of the negotiations and ac- cording to some reports, considerable difficulty has arisen in this connection. It has ben stated frequently that the British government was willing to re- lease 36 members of the Dail Eireann who are in prison or internment camps; if De Valera will but make the request. - It is said on the other hand however that Sinn Fein leaders are reluctant to ask for the liberation of their com- rades, lest it appear that they recog- nizéd Great Britain's right to imprison representatives of Ireland. How this difficulty, if it exists at all, will be circumvented is’not apparent at the moment but the view is taken that certainly before very long the Dailitics will be released to participate in the Irish parliament meeting which, it is believed in many quarters already has been arranged for. FRANCE SENDS NOTE ON SILESIAN MESS Tells Britaln This Question Must Be Settled Before Supreme Coun- cil Meeting s Held. Paris. July 28.—France informed the British government late yesterdas that the question of sending rein- forcements to Upper Silesia must be disposed of satisfactorily before French representatives can attend a meeting of the allied supreme coun- «il August 4, at which it is planned to discuss the entire Silesian question. Shortly after this information reached London, Marquis Curzoa promised Col. De St. Aulaire, Frenca ainbassador to Great Britain, that the mater would be placed before thz British cabinet this morning. The task of preparing the council's agenda will begin in earnest today. Paris newspapers this morning pre- dict that a complete understanding on the Silesian question will be reached before the end of this week, and are nclined to the opinion that Great Dritain will consent to the sending of reinforcements. DIPLOMATICALLY INACTIVE Herrick, Ambassador w Paris, Has Met Other Representatives Only in Soctal Way. Paris, July 28.—The relations of Myron T. Herrick the American am- bassador with the other diplomats in Paris thus far have been almost en- tiraly social. A Paris dispatch received Wednes- day night quoted the Journal as say- ing that Mr. Herrick had had an in- terview with Premier Briand which was largely taken up with the ques- tion of Upper Silesia. MONTICELLO FOR SALE. Jefferson’s Old Hom= on Market—Too Costly for Private Use. New York, July 28.—Reports that Monticello, the home of Thomas Jef- ferson, near Charlottesville, Va., is on the market were confirmed today by Jefferson M. Levy, former congress- man and present owner of the historic estate. Mr. Levy said upkeep costs become too burdensome. He said he had made efforts to have the government buy the estate a¢ a summer home for President Harding and that he was willing to sell Monticello to the government for had $500,000. He values the estate at § l 000,000. v NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, THURSDAY, JULY 28, 1921. BAYER FINED AND JAILED FOR FRAUD (Continued from First Page.) it was returned in protest. Moretski came to New Britain and at the Com- mercial Trust company found that there were no funds with which to meet the order. He turned the paper over to the authorities for action. In reply to a question by Prosecutor A. A. Greenberg, the witness said the accused was given further credit as a result of the issuance of the check. On June 16 the firm of I. Lowenthal sent a shipment of goods to the local firm, Bookkeeper Sidney Firsch testi- fied. A check for $89.66 was received from the Bayer brothers, signed by the accused. On June 28 a check was received for $41 and on June 7 an order for the payment of $151.08 was received. All checks were deposited but returned under protest. George Finer, a banana merchant, was the next witness. He received a $400 check as a result of which he ex- tended further credit of $202, but later found that there were no funds with which to meet the check. He then re- ported the matter to the police. His place of business is in Brooklyn. Representing the H. Warner Sons Co., Samuel Fleckner, head of the bookkeeping department, told of a $96 check in payment for a shipment of goods sent out June 27. The check which was also protested under pay- ment, was signed by the accused for Bayer Brothers. Assistant Treasurer Morey Borlen of the Commercial Trust company told of the financikl conections the accused had with his banking house. His ac- count was opened June 27 with $399.07; on June 28 he had an over- draft of $50.93; on June 29 he had $426.70; on June 30, $997.20 including a worthless check of $400; at the opening of business July 1, the ac- count was overdrawn $39.06 but was brought up to $87.49; there was a $290.96 overdraft on July 2; on July 5 there was a balance of $6 and on July 7, $224.27. Of that amount $224 was appropriated to meet a note from Bayer to the bank and the account was closed. g The witness said that on several oc- casions he had told the bookkeeper that the account needed straightening out and advised that Bayer come to the bank for that purpose. 5 The accused was put to the stand by Attorney Nair. He told of his business connections with his brother which terminated in the latter part of June. He received a check from the brother for $400 which' he deposited but which turned out to be no good. In anticipation of more business other checks were drawn out but before the money could be raised the business was attached. Fred Downham, who drew the checks, said Jack knew nothing about the finances of the business; neither was he aware that they were over- drawn. . L g In closing his case, Prosecutor A. A. Greenberg expressed regret that Bayer who is but 22, was apprehended and not the “‘master mind” of the fraudu- lent operations. He asked for a severe penalty to put an end to the too prevalent practice of issuing checks with mo funds in the bank. Attorneq Nair, counsel for thede- fense, flayed the banking officials for dppropriating funds ' to their own account before the note in gquestion was due. Had such’action not been taken there would have been funds in the bank to meet some of the checks, he pointed out. The bank had abso- lutely no business to apply Bayer's money to its own use, he argued, and it is far from good banking law. The practice of drawing checks and then depositing funds with which to meet them is almost universal, the defense counsel argued. - Judge F. B. Hungerford also criti- cized the bank for applying the funs in payment of Bayer's hote, which at that time was not due. The statute under which Bayer was prosecuted was one drawn by Judge Klett when he was in the legislature. Curry is,Fined Michael Curry, the former owner of a Main street cafe, was fined $200 and costs and a 30 day jail sentence was suspended, as a penalty for -having liquor on hand with intent to sell. The case was tried last Monday but deci- sion was reserved until today. Judge W. F. Mangan represented Curry. He explained that the place has been sold, the money having pass- ed through his hands. He assured the court that Curry will appear no more as a liquor law offender. This is his second offense. The case of Secondi Augustonelli was continued until next ‘Thursday at the request of Judge Francis Palot- -9 Reckless driving charges against G. J. Simons will be heard August 4. Judgment was suspended' in the case of Miles Jartman, held for driv- ing without aa license or registration papers. BESSE-LELAND WINS Boys From Clothing Firm Show Na- tional Biscuit Players Whose Who and Why in Baseball. In a game which, up to the last in- ning, was entirely one-sided, Besse- Leland Co. won over the National Biscuit Co. team by a 13 to 12 &core. Batting rallies seémed to be the fea- ture of the game for each team scored nine runs in one inning, the store team in the second and the Bis- cuit Co. team in the last. At the end of the fourth inning the score stood 12 to 0 in favor of the clothiers. In the fifth each team obtained one run and in the 6th two tallies went down for the ‘‘cracker” boys. = The so-called “lucky seventh” would doubtless have been a turning point in the game had it not come a bit too late, for a rally by the Biscuit Co. team with several extra base hits, and exceedingly lose fielding on the part of the store boys, nearly cost them the game. Only after nine runs had been piled up could the Biscuit Co. be retired. - Score by innings: Besse-Leland Co. Na. Biscuit Co. . 0000129—12 Ratteries: Besse-Leland, Gibney and Whipple; Nat.
