News of the World n};/Auociausd Press ESTABLISHED 1870 That Proposed Combine Would Probably Result . ey Police B . In Unfair Competition |* e Board Will Not Pro- vide Fund for Conven- Methods Previously Used by tion Trip, However These Concerns Are Also Regarded as Not Fair to Other Enterprises. The board of police commissioners this morning discussed the proposal to appropriate from its own funds the sum of $500 to defray the expenses of delegating Chief W. J. Rawlings to attend the National Convention of Po- lice Chiefs at BSan Francisco, Cal., and voted to give the chief the ne- cessary leave of absence provided the common council can furnish the ne- cessary funds, The idea of drawing upon the de- partment's funds was dropped when the board's rules were read showing that no expenditure of more than $300 can be made without first go- ing before the common council for authorization. It {is within the rights of the comptroller to refuse to honor an order for more than that amount. A committee of republican council- men, interested in sending the chief across the continent to the conven- tion, called upon Lawyer David L. Dunn, chairman of the commission. this morning and asked that a special session of the board be called for the purpose of acting on a resolution to appropriate the necessary moneys and grant a leave of absence. Members of the police board do not appear to be very enthusiastic over the idea of raising funds for the trip Iby popular subscription as they be- Heve it would lower the city in the Washington, June 5.—The federal trade commission has issued a formal complaint against the Bethlehem Bteel corporation and the Lackawan- na Steel company charging they have twen and are using unfair methods of competition. The complaint grows out of the merger recently effected by the two companies. The commission made this an- nouncement today in a report to the senate in response to the recently adopted resolution of Senator La Fol- lette of Wisconsin, directing inquiry into the merger by the commission and the department of justice. Sense of Report Stating it had the proposed mer- ger of steel companies under observa- tion prior to senate action on the La Follette resolution and had closely followed developments along the line, the commission, in its reports, said it now had ‘reason to believe, in the language of its constituent act, that the proposed Bethlehem-Lackawanna merger when consummated will con- stitute an unfair method of competi- tion i{n that it contains a dangerous STEAMER FROM N, LOADED WITH GUN = ) British $top Steamer Bringing Arms to Irish Rebels ACTUAL WAR-IN IRELAND, Crown Forces With Machine Guns and Artfllery, Ront Sinn Feiners— Naval Detachments Ready For Ac- tion—DBorder {is Battletront Now.

SCHUTTE MUST PAY DEATH PENALTY ON GALLOWS, SUPREME COURT RULES Haddam Man, Found Guilty of Brutal Murder of Three People in 1915, Legally Convicted. dian Hill cemetery {n Middletown rather than at Deep River. The reprievd of Gov. Lake given Schutte because of the court appeal is limited to July 21, Counsel of Schutte appealed to the Supreme Court on five grounds, the principal one being that Schutte was not convicted by testimony from two witness or the equivalent. That ground was also used in a motion to Judge Malbie to set aside the ver- dict. He denied the motion. Justice Curtis in writing the opinion finds no error. Schutte was originally sen- |tenced to be executed in April of this year, but was reprieved by Gov. Lake, while appeal was pending to July. Discussnng the claim that the state | failed to prove Schutte guilty beyond reasonable doubt the supreme court say “We have carefully examined the record and are satisfled that the jury could reasonably have found that the guilt of the accused was proved be- yond reasonahle doubt.” On the other claim, as regards the two witnesses, the Supreme Court goes into a lengthy discussion of the statutes and points out #s a fundamental error of the de- fendant is the conception that the purpose of the statute is to require the jury to find that the evidence pre- sented satisfied the jury of the accus- ed’s guilt of the capital crime charged as fully as the testimony of two eye- witnesses of his commission of the crime would satisfy them. All the justices concur in the opin- fon. Hartford, June §.—The Connecticut Supreme Court today handed down an opinion in the appeal of Emil Schut- te of Haddam, upholding the death penalty imposed upon him {n the Middlesex county superior court on the charge of murder, The murder for which Schutte was convicted was a particularly brutal one, the entire Ball family, Joseph Ball, his wife, Mary, and their son, Jacob, having been wiped out when their home was set afire, and as Ball, his wife and son endeavored to es- cape the flames, they were shot down by Schutte and his son, Julius, and the bodles carrled back into the house to be consumed by the flames. The date of the crime was Decem- ber 10, 1915. The principal witness for the state at the trial was Schutte's own son, Julius, who told in detail the story of the killing. Schutte was found guilty by a jury on October 20, 1921, after four and one-quarter hours deliberation. He was sentenced to be hanged on April 10, by Judge William M. Malthie. The appeal was based on the ground that the verdict of the jury was against the evidence. The entire Schutte family was ar- rayed against the accused man when his case came to trial, his wife visit- ing him only after he had been taken to the state prison at Wethersfield after he had been sentenced to die. While at the county jail at Haddam Schutte attempted to take his own life, but was unsuccessful. After he had been sentenced to die he ex- pressed a desire to be buried at In- VALENTINO IS FREED ON CHARGES OF BIGAMY FOR LACK OF EVIDENCE BOMBS AND TORCH USED BY STRIKERS Los Angeles, June 5.—Rudolph Val- entino, screen star whose roles have been those of love heroes, was lib.

K’d Under orders of the state police department, the doors of the Lyceum theater will be kept closed until such | time as the theater meets all the re- requirements of the department, chief of which is installation of an asbes- tos curtain. In view of present finan- cial conditions, it is believed that this order is equivalent to a shut-down for the summer months at least. Several months ago the state police issued orders for the installation of an asbestos curtain. Because the management was unable to procure the new screen the time limit was twice extended. The state officials conducted another inspection a few days ago, and finding that their orders had not been lived up to have served notice upon the lessee, James Cormi- can, that no performances shall be given in the future untl the building is O. K'd by the department. For many years a curtain has been used in the Lyceum house which was generally supposed to be ashestos. The state police discovered, however, that the screen is not of that material nor is it Aitted to serve the purposes of an asbestos curtain. Several other changes have been suggested by the state police from time to time and it will be required that all these recommendations be adopted before the place can be re- opened.
