News of the World By Associated Press | ESTABLISHED 1§ DODGE FORGE (t: TROUBLE harges of Reckless Driving and Car- rying Liquor Yet to be Pressed— Says He Finds Prison Officials O. K. Detroit, March 20.—John Duval Dodge, possessor of a fortune of $1,- 600,000 left the Detroit house of cor- rection this morning with $8 in his pocket, having completed a five day prison sentence for automobile speed- fog. His release came at 8 o'clock and was carried out with secrecy at the request of the prisoner. He was taken to the rear of the house of correction, allowed to slip unobserved through a back door, and was whisked away in a prison automobile to the home of his father-in-law, M. P. O'Connor. Given his fredom an hour garlier than the time originally set, the youthful prisoner escaped a battery of news- paper camera men gathered in front of the institution. Forgot His Corkscrew When Dodge entered the prison last Thursday he had $108 in his posses- sion. He paid $100 of this to the city, the amount being exacted as a fine in addition to the jail sentence. Dodge left 8o hurriedly this morning he for- got to take with him a sterling silver ‘cork screw, that was among Ris pos- sessions when he entered the brison. The cork screw would be mailed to Dodge, prison authorities said. Although his punishment for vio- 18ing the city speed limit is ended, with exception of loss of his auto- mobile driver's license for a year, Dodge is not yet “out of the woods.” More Trouble Yet At 9 o'clock tomorrow morning he must appear in court at Kalamazoo and face a charge of reckless driving, following a midnight automobile ride recently during which a western state normal school student jumped from Dodge's car while it was traveling at a high rate of speed and sustained serious injuries. The reckless driving charge dispos- ed of, Dodge is scheduled to be ar- raigned on a charge of violating the prohibition laws. It is alleged he carried "liquor on the joy ride. Dodge put in several hours yester- *ay writing an article for the Detroit iouse of correction newspaper ‘“Pro- gress” published by the prisoners. Dodge’s article follows in part: Praises Prison Officials “Your conception and my concep- tic | of prison life have been decidedly er meous. We were of the opinion that prison officials were cruel, burly bruisers with no humaritarian mo- tives. “We thought inmates of prisons were on the whole, coarse illiterate ruffilans, beaten and cowed downed until there was no manhood left in them. “We were Wrong. “During my enforced incarceration [ have. been greatly impressed by one thing: that prison officials are ex- tremely human and that™nmatesiare NEW BRITAIN, CONNECTICUT, ONDAY, M \S | EFFORT IS BEING MADE INDUCE D.

The treaties, now before the sen- ate are regarded in administration circles as to the major achievement of President Harding's administration to date and it is said to be the inten- tion of the party leaders to put them forward as an issue in the November elections. Those conferring with the president today beside Chairman Adams, were Senator Lodge, senate leader and a member of the American delegation which negotiated the treaties; Senator Curtis of Kansas, assistant republican senate leader, and Senator McCor- mick ‘of Illinois, chairman of the re- publican senatorial campaign commit- tee.

Alderman Paonessa 8ponsors the movement for the selection ot a can- didate through the primary system. His opponent, Mr. Halloran, accepted the propggition offered by Mr. Paon- essa at once. In explanation, he stated that such a system has always been favored by him since the voters have an opportunity to cast their bal- lots for whichever candidate they wish, rather than for delegates. Paonessa's Plan. Mr. Paonessa’s letter toq\(n Hal- toran, which is self explanatory, fol- lows: “To The Honorable Joseph M.

Lynch, employed by the citizens com- mittee of Bethel to investigate condi- ‘nnns in that towh which State Com- missioner of Health John T. Black claims is an epidemic of smallpox, today submitted his report. He took ten cases into consideration which he had examined on March 13, and makes a report in clinical terms. He excepted one case, that of a young man on the ground that it showed merely a skin affection which had existed for a considerable pefiod and long prior to the prevalence of an infection in town the nature of which is in dispute. In the nine other cases, Dr. Lynch after describing the characteristics, gave his opinion that the patients had smallpox in a light form, that there was no cause for alarm, and that the need of quarantine would be about those who are ill and observation of those who had been exposed to the disease. . As to vaccination Dr. Lynch said that those who have faith in vaccina- tion should be vaccinated while those who have no faith in vaccination ought not to be. Senator McCumber Seeks Re-Election in No. Dakota Washington, March 20,—Senator McCumber, republican, North Dakota, chairman of the senate finance com- mittee today announced formally his candidacy for re-election. TFormer Senator Aslee J. Gronna last week was announced as an opponent. Sen- ator McCumber said he would run “as a straight, conservative republican,” (Continued on »age nine) and added that “true republicanism always stand fof progression.’ Despite Urging of Fricads Former Merchant Has Not Yet Made Known His Decision on Matter Feeling Strong, in Many Quarters, That He Could Carry City Election Next Month if He Ran. In the person of D. McMillan, re- tired New Britain business man, one of the most promising candidates for the republican nomination for mayor appeared on the horizon this morn. ing. Mr. McMillan was talked of in va- rious sources, mention of his name spreading like wildfire and seeming readily acceptable to a large number of people along the street. Seldom has an incipient boom been received with so much enthusiasm in so many quarters, although some of the old line politicians were not clamoring wildly for his nomination, probably realizing that his election might mean the loss of their own grip upon the machine in the city. In the opinion of many, Mr. McMil- lan is admirably situated for the posi- tion, being independent, with real business ability,. and capable of tak- ing a definite stand upon civic mat- ters. Not “Regular” Republican, He has not been a “regular’ repub- lican all of his life though he has al- ways leaned to that party. Several years ago, at the time of the rise of the Bull Moose party, he was an ar- dent follower of Theodore Roosevelt and ran for state senator on the ticket. He has been regarded as a man who has the courage of his con- victions and who was always ready to stand staunchly for what he be- lieved right. s Has Excellent Record. Mr. McMillan came to this country from Scotland when he was young and, by careful work, built up the large business which he recently sold. He was very successful in business and is one of the largest property owners in the city, Since the disposal of his business he is enabled to spend more time for civic work and should prove a valuable man to control the destinies of New Britain. Not Yet Decided. Fhe proposed candidate has not yet decided whether he will run or not. He admits that he may, but realizes that much work would have to be done before he could go before the republican voters at the primaries. “The thing has come upon me too suddenls. I cannot say that I want to run,” he stated today. *Should I care to I will so announce later,” he added. Mr. McMillan, should he decide to run, has until next Saturday night in which to file a petition for the prim- aries. The possibility that Mr. McMillan may enter the mayoralty fight will assure what has been anticipated for several weeks—a three-cornered race for the republican nomination. Per- sistent reports have been going the rounds that a third, or “dark horse” candidate would bob up after Curtis and Quigley had both announced their dandidacy. In mention of Mr. MeMillan's name, completion of this prediction is expected to be brought about. Chances Look Bright News of the McMillan boom reach- 1ed the inner circles of both the re- ’nnhlim\n and democrat ranks in short order. The prospective candidate is looked upon at the present time as standing equally as good, if not bet- ter chances of securing the republi- can nomination than either of the present candidates; and in the event of his choice by the primary, his chances of election at the pplls are considered brightest of the refublican aspirants. Would Avert Split That there is a wide breach be- sarily between the followers of each candidate, is no secret. On each side, threats are heard that the selec- tion of the other candidate by the primary will result in their jumping the party traces. Mr. McMillan would enter the primary a comparatively new man in politics without having had occasion to make political enemies, and it is expected that his selection as a compromise candidate would be urged, this to prevent a widening of the breach in the repub- lican party. Fear Democrat Breach. Democrat leaders have openly ex- pressed themselves as of the opinion that the Halloran-Paonessa fight will, result in o breach, . particularly if Paonessa is not named to head the ticket. RENT LAW IS UPHELD Supreme Court Rules 1920 Statute in New York State as Valid—Three Judges Dissenting. Washington, March 20.—The New York state rent law of 1920 was to- day held valid by the supreme court.

He told of having seen the stuff sold to his father. A friend who | boosted him up to the window so that | he might see the transaction, corro- | borated Sadis's statements. ! Miasnik explained that he had hs*l-n‘ confined to his bed by f{liness, and called in Dr. M. J. Kinsella, who, he said, prescribed whiskey. Being un- able to pay the.drug store price, he purchased some moonshine. The bot- | tle was placed in the stove so his customers would not see it and ex- foere the court for the first time, he said the stuff was used by his wife to rab her limbs. X A Leniency Is Shown Stanley Morchofski of 247 Wash- ington street, was charged with in- tent, reputation and manufacture. At the request of Judge W. F. Mangan, who represented the accused, Judge | Alling, exercised leniency toward Stan- | ley who is out of work and has a fam- ily to support.

Speaker Gillett re- fused to permit the measure to be brought up today under a suspension of the rules however and a special rule will be necessary for its consider- ation. ILeaders were to confer late today as to procedure and the time that house consideration of the bonus would begin. Representative Mondell of Wyom« ing and four other house members were closteded today with the presi- dent at the White House this morning for nearly two hor Upon leaving the executive's oftic.. Mr, Mondell is« sued this in writing: Mondell's Statcment “The legislative situation relating to the bonus bill was fully presented to the president with detailed explana- tion of the provisions which remove the menace of excessive drafts on the treasury in the immediate future and avold any program of added taxation. The president went over the entire situation with an appraisal of com- mitments made. He advised the committee that the legislation is a re- sponsibility of congress, and in view of expressions previously made he did not think it essential to offer any rec- ommendations."” Gillett Retums Speaker Gillett also had an ap- pointment with the president, but be- cause of the length of the conference between the president and the house leader the speaker had to return to the capitol to preside over the house ses- sion without seeing the executive, Upon reaching the capitol, the speak- er met with the house leaders and made known to them his decision not to recognize Chairman Fordney today for a motion to suspend the rules and pass the bill, i While at the White House, Mr. Mondell and other members of the house committee went over the whole bonus situation with the president, who was understood to have given no expression of his views on the com- promise measure with its bank loan provision in lieu of the original cash proposal. President’s Opinion The president was quoted as having said that he preferred not to make any recommendation as to the legis- lative procedure as the responsibility of legislation rested with congress, He also was said to have indicated a desire to study more closely the provisions of the bill before determin- ing in his own mind whether he could approve all of its features, House leaders stressed their desire that the Dbill be taken up under a suspension of the rules explaining that the original bonus measure had Leen put through under a suspension of the rules and that this procedure would prevent opponents from offer- ing amendments designed to em- barras those in charge of the bill. Emphasis also was laid by the leaders on the change that had been made in the bill since the president suggested that the bonus either be paid with a sales tax or the legisla- tion postponed. They said the bank an provision would remove the ty for heavy drafts on the nd at the same time make v any new or added taxes Cash May Be Given. Administration officers who have 1 the bonus with the presi- dent were under the impression that the executive had not changed his mind with regard to the legslation. These officers were of the opinion that the compromise measure would not be passed by the senate; that the measure either would be held up there or so changed that cash would be available to the veterans desiring it and the financed either by taxes or the sale of bonds. When the house met today sentative Garner of Texas, ranking democrat on the ways and means committee, asked unanimous consent for Mondell to tell the house when the bonus bill would be taken up. Representative Campbell, republican, Kansas demanded the previous order shutting off the request. Later, how- ever, Mr. Garner asked Speaker Gil- lett for information about the bonus and was told that no one would be recognized to bring it up today. Mr. Garner then wanted to know when it wonld be called up. “It is not within my province te say when it will come up," repiied the speaker. “It looks like the storehouse of in- Repre- formation either has been locked up that the roundup of suspects in the [or has gone dry,” responded the Texas case had been completed. member.
