Patrolman John Liebler made the arrest on Willow street, at 9:30 o'clock last night. Blanca admitted his gjilt and handed over a bottle of wine from which he had been {imbibing. The additional count was the resuit of Patrolman Frank Parker's report that Blanca had driven past a stand- ing trolley car at the North Stanley street terminal. A guilty pela was entered by Tony Passanici, charged with keeping li- quor with intent to sell, at his store at 329 Church street. He was fined $200. Members of the strong arm squad raided Tony's establishment Saturday night and found a quantity of whis- key on the premises. A huge still was also seized.

Claiming that the wholesale price of gasoline in New Britain is two cents higher than in other nearby cit- fes, the Chamber of Commerce, at the suggestion of Mayor Angelo M. Paonessa, who also is a director of the Chamber, today appointed a committee to investigate the high price. Mayor Paonessa stated at the noon- Aday luncheon of the directors that the gas is shipped to this city and from here to Meriden, Bristol and other nearby towns and sold for from one to three cents less than it can be purchased for in New Britain. May Have Combine, During a general discussion that followed, the question was asked as to the reason for the difference in price, and intimations were made that local dealers might have an agreement or understanding among themselves. “T think it js discriminating," said Mayor Paonessa, “and I think something should be done about it." President John C. Loomis appointed a committee composed of Stephen Robb, Fred O. Rackliffe, C. W. Buckey and Albert Volz to invest gate and report to the directors’ meeting next Monday. Membership Campaign. Cards were distributed to the di- rectors who did not receive theirs last Monday and the membership campaign was declared to be open in full swing. While but 16 new mem- bers were reported to date, the cam- paign has not started in real earnest prior to today's meeting. A large number ‘of prospective members were reported. Publicity Problem. Ernest W. Christ, first president of the Chamber of Commerce, spoke on the membership drive and expressed the opinion that the Chamber should include all elements of society in the city. He said one of the criticisms of the local Chamber of Corimerce is that it has not been a self-advertiser, and he feels that difficulty is gradual- ly-being overcome. Every businessman and every man- ufacturer should be a member, ac- cording to Mr.- Christ, not only for the good it will do his personal busi- ness, but also for the good an in- | creased membership and a larger fi- nancial standing can do the city. Also Kicks About Taxes. Many people criticise the Chamber he said, because’ they cannot ree what good it does. But many people also criticise the city government because they have to pay taxes. When it comes time to pay w#ir taxes they grumble and complain until they are paid, when they feel thankful they are paid and criticism stops for another year. He spoke of the Chamber of Com- merce as a common meeting ground for businessmen or other organiza- tions which have no meeting place of their own and called attention to a recent full page advertisement in the Herald, showing what the Chamber has done in the city.

UP ADJUSTMENT OF RUSS PROBLEMS Not Likely to Accept, Should It Appear Ses- sion Is to be Reproduc- tion of That at Genoa Plans However, Would Re- lieve From, Effects of Any Decisions Reached. America Washington, May 15.-—A communi- (tn!inn from American Ambassador Child, reporting that the United States government had been invited to participate in the newly planned economic conference at The Hague was received today at the state de- partment, but officials indicated that no immediate decision regarding it would be reached To Discuss It Tuesday. Until they had an opportunity to study the proposal in detail, officials would make no comment regarding it. The general impression given by them was that the question probably would be discussed at tomorrow's cabinet meeting and that some action might follow. Comes As Surprise. At the state department pains were taken to emphasize that the in- vitation was a surprise officials de- claring that the Washington govern- ment not only had not suggested it but was uninformed regarding the plan until today. Must Differ From Genoa. The communication from Ambassa~ dor Child was said to be only an ad- vanced summary of the official text of the invitation. In their reference to The 'Hagues conference officials would not indicate in what degree they considered the case analogous to the Genoa negotiations into which the United States refused to enter. It was assumed that President Harding and his advisors would adopt a sim- ilar policy of non-participation should the new conference appear to be merely a reproduction of that at Genoa. U. S. Not Bound. On the other hand information re- ceived here in press dispatches has indicated that a stipulation express- Iy excluding the United States from any of the effects of decision reach- ed at The Hague may be included in the invitation in such a way as to change the basis of the \\hule prob- lem. Throughout the Genoa conference the American government has empha- sized through Ambassador Child that the United States would not be bound by the decision reached there. Two Commissions Planned.
