News of the World By Associated Press Fred Beloin Said to be Planning Erection of Hostelry at Corner of Church and Cozbin Pl. Proposed Plans Call for Structure That Is Modern and Up-to-date in Every Respect. That Fred Beloin, for many years, proprietor of the Hotel Beloin on Church street, which he sold to the Delaney Brothers, of Hartford, |is soon to start work on the erection of a new half million dollar hotel in this city, was a statement made today by real estate men to whom Mr. Beloin has announced his plan. Mr. Beloin himself, was out of the city this afternoon, so definite details | of his plans could not be obtained from him. However, Mr. Beloin's plans, ac cording to those to whom he has out- lined them, call for a hotel that will be modern in every respect. It will be located across from the Union de- pot, at the corner of Corbin place and Church street, on the plot of land which Mr. Beloin recently purchased from R. H. Erwin of Maple Hill. Beloin Buys Property This plot of land, originally the old Corbin Paper Box shop, was bought by Mr. Erwin more than a year ago. Later he razed the buildings on the corner and announced his plans for building a modern business block there. In fact, work was actually started on the erection of the block. Active work stopped, however, and a few weeks later Mr. Beloin announced that he had purchased the property from Mr. Erwin through the Camp Real Estate company. At the time Mr. Beloin said he had not fully made up his mind as to what he proposed to do with the property ,although even then he would not deny that he might erect a hotel there. Present plans of Mr. Beloin, if car- ried out, provide for the city having a hotel that is second to none. It will he madern in every waw, . fireprant throughoutr, with light, afry rooms and complete equipment such.as is found in the best hotels. In addition, it will probably have quarters suffi- ciently spacious to permit of holding big conferences and possibly conven- tions here. New Hotel Long Wanted. Agitation for a new hotel was started by the Chamber of Commerce several years ago, and at one time it was proposed to start a stock cor- poration among its members for the purpose of erecting a building for such purposes on the site now occupied by the Professional building. Merchants and manufacturers, real- izing the benefits that would accrue through the presence of an up-to-date and spacious hostelry, have been be- hind the movement for a new hotel since the old Russwin hotel went out of existence. Conferences at local factories and gatherings of salesmen, as well as representatives of various concerns interested in extensions at the local plants, have on numerous occasions found it necessary to go to Hartford for suitable hotel accommo- dations, it is said. Because of the many and manufactories here, many state and national conventions of ‘fraternal or- fanizations have been held in this city, but it is believed that, if suit- able hotel accommodations could be offered, the number of these conven- tions would be greatly increased. Not only is there valuable advertising ob- tained through such gatherings, but the retail merchants report increased business during the period of conven- tions. 5 Vaudeville entertainers, stock pla ers ‘and members of concert companies who have visited the city have ex- pressed themselves as not entirely sat- isfled with accommodations offered them in the line of hotels, it is ~aid and this objection has also been voiced commonly by transients visit- ing the city. varied - ARRESTED FOR BURGLARY Walter Kloss is Taken Into Custody at His Home Here, for Alleged Crime Committed at Collinsville. Walter Kloss was arrested today by Patrolman Patrick O'Mara and State Policeman Hanson at his home at 338 Main street on a warrant charging burglary in the town of Collinsville. The officers on searching the place located some small articles which are believed to be part of the plunder se- cured. Kloss was arrested lasf July for is- suing fraudulent chec on a local Jewelry firm. He received a light pen- alty for the offense, and was turned over later to the Collinsville authori- ties on a charge of burglary.

M. Paonessa's recommendation for the purchase by the city of an ambulance for use by the hospital, it being the councilman's contention that the hospital should purchase such a conveyance out of its own funds and man it with internes, [4ather than have uniformed police- men in charge of carrying patients to the institution. Councilman Molander's proposal {s COUNCILMAN GEO. MOLANDER — 5 Y understood to have found favor with several fellow members of the coun- cil, to whom wonld be referred the matter of purchasing an ambulance. As yet there have been no resolu- tions offered for the purchase of a new car. It is the mayor's intention, Il to Bving each of tha several recommerndafions made in his report to the council for early action. Councilman Molander has been fin- formed that there is no cause for re- placing the present police patrol, in- sofar as the actual work of the police department is concerned. For ordin- ary police work, the car has proven very acceptable, but its use as an am- bulance has been féund to be imprac- tical, Mr. Molander admits. He does not question the need of a separate car for hospital work, his only obpec- tion coming on a question of payment and manning the vehicle, Discussing the situation this morn- ing, Councilman Molander asserted that he has heard objections express. ed on many occasions to the practice of carrying sick or injured persons to the hospital in the .car used for law breakers to the city lock-up The carrying of patients out of dwellings by policemen in uniform has also a depressing effect, not only upon the patient, but the entire family, he argues, whereas their displacement by internes clothed in white would have would be ready at all times for ho pital purchased an ambulance, the car would be ready at all times for hos pital uses and there would he no oc- casion for walting until matters of po- lice work were first attended to. A partial canvass of common coun- cil members indicates that Council- man Molander will not be support when his proposal to shift the financial burden of purchasing an am- bulance from the city to the hospital, comes up for consideration.

Y. May 26, (By Associated Press).—Supreme Court Justice Young today reserved decision on a- motion to release Walter & Ward, wealthy baker, on the ground that there was no legal charge pre- ferred against him in connection with the shooting of C(larence Peters, It was not until after noon that Ward, re-arrested yesterday, was brought before Justice Young on a writ of habeas corpus obtained by his lawyers this morning. The hearing opened with a demand by Ward's counsel that he be imme- diately released on the graund that the warrant for his arrest and all other papers In the case were void as they were not accompanied by any information duly sworn to by a complaining witness. A bail hond of $10,000, accepted shortly after he had surrendered last Saturday, stating he had shot Peters in self defense after having heen blackmailed by him, was cancelled yesterday after District Attorney Weeks had told the court there were certain discrepancies in his story. A report that the wealthy young defendant, brought to White Plains about 6:30 last night and detained at the sheriff's order until abhout 11 p. m. when it became apparent he would not be released on bail hefore morning had slipped out of jail to spend the night at home created a furore in White Plains this morning. Effortsy to reach county officials to obtain confirmation or denial of the rumor had been unsuccessful when the habeas corpus writ was issued. l.ater, however, Sheriff Werner said: “That is a lie. Ward didn't leave the jail after he was put in and he is there now. I make a positive and emphatic denial.” At the Ward home in New Ro- chelle it also was denied that he re- turned last night. Michael Sullivan of Salem, Mass an attorney representing the family of Peters, was 0 expected here toc and it was reported he scouted blackmail story as “impossible.” Ward seemed to be a favored pris- oner after his re-arrest. He drove| up to the sheriff’s office in his own| car about 6 o'clock last night and| laughed and joked with his attor- neys and the officers in the sheriff's private office | When all hope was gone for the| night Ward was hurried across the court from Sheriff Werner's office to jail where he was forced to wait for five minutes until the door was opened by the warden. The only time smiled when a reporter | him: hat's won't they let you in The discovery that Peters about a| month ago had climbed down from a | Ward Baking Co. truck in a nearby tewn and asked a tailor to clean a coat became known when the tailor came here and identified the marks he had placed in Peter's coat, the orie he wore when killed.

Mr. Gary said he thought a come mittee of nine appointed by the in- stitute to investigate the industry with a view to adjusting working hours would be necessary in order to clearly represent every phase of the industry, instead of the committee of five suggested at the White House dinner, The committee will be ap- pointed, he added, after he had dis- cussed the matter with the director of the institute. Mr. Gary emphasized the earnest- ness and fairness with which the president apprpached the problem of the long work day in the mills. Tariff Out of Politics, Judge Gary in his address as presi- dent of the American Iron and Steel Institute in session here advocated that congress take the tariff out ' of politics; that it play no favorites in its tendency to regulate thjngs that it substitute a sales tax for the income tax; and that it forget the soldier bonus until the nation is less severely burdened financially. Still Optimistic. As for the business future of America, Mr. Gary described himseif as “still an optimist.” In the iron and steel industry he said ‘‘ths profits are not satisfactory but few if any, ought te be doing business at a loss.” “Pity the blind, deaf. and foolish pessimist of the United States,” he ad- jured member sof the institute, In a remark which he said was in- serted “as a tone of consolation and hope” the steel magnate asserted “congressmen are like the ordinary run of individualss—most of them honest and well intentioned ‘' but a few are possessed of less merit. “The idiosyncrasies of individuals occupying places in legislative halls are no better and no worse than they are in other places. As the world grows better its inhabitants will more and more exercise care and common sense in the selection of their repre- sentatives." Clouds Still Hover. “We have not, I think, passed én- tirely from under the clouds of ad- vergity,” he said. “Certainly we are carrying hitherto unheard of govern- mental financial burdens. At best these will not soon bte fully dis- charged. To bear them gracefully and contentedly there must be no$ only forbearance, encouragement and assistance from every department of government up to the limit of pro« priety and justice but there must also be entertained by every individual consistently and constantly, a spirit of patience, pluck, energy, generosity, loyalty and charity fully up to his or her intelligence."” The Tariff Question. The tariff question, Judge Gary des clared, should be delegated for in< vestigation to a ‘“commission of well paid, high-minded intelligent, coms« petent and non-partisan appointees, authorized to ascertain and communi« cate the facts and figures. Their re- ports should be frequent so that if deemed necessary a change in or amendment to the tariff laws could be made at any time congress is in session “Revision of tariff laws is an inter- mittent disease which seems to be an important political question though it ought not to be, the speaker dee clared. For a time, he said, it ape peared the subject was being publicly to settlement upon strictly scientific principles and * the standpoint of fairness to part of the country.” Jut it seems there has been an in- creasing departure from this prac- he said “Data secured by the national tariff commission at large ex- pense has been aimost completely ,gvmmd in late discussions.
