London, Sept. 27 (By Associated Press).—Greece is in the grip of a revolutionary movement and King Constantine is reported to have abdi- cated. At least part of the navy has gone against the government and several warships and transports manned by revolutionaries are advancing on the capital from the Aegean islands, where the revolt originated. A Reuter dispatch from Athens, re- ceived shortly before 7 o'clock this evening says King Constantine has abdicated. Accedes Revolutionists’ Demands. An Exchange Telegraph dispatch from Athens received about the same time said it was affirmed that the king had ‘“decided to agree to the demands of the revolutionists.” The abdication of King Constantine i8 accepted as an accomplished fact in the highest official quarters here. This is based on a message from a high diplomatic officer at Athens which is understood to state that he had received information of the king's abdication and believed the informa- tion to be true although he was un- able to confirm it owing to the unset- tled condition attending the revolu- tionary movement. Koutzis at Helm. A Reuter dispatch from Athens says that Gen. Koutzis, commanding the Greek troops at Saloniki, induced the garrison to support the manifesto of the Mitylene revolutionary troops while the control of the insurrection- ary movement in Chios was assumed by Gen. Platsiras. (This serves to clarify a preceding dispatch, in that it shows Gen. Koutzis as having in- duced the garrison at Saloniki to support the revolutionists and not the garrison at Athens, as the earlier mes. sage appeared to indicate). Peace Impaired. The French and British representa- tives at Athens adds the message have made representations to the Greek government emphasizing that the prospects of peace were impaired by the presence of Greek warships in Turkish waters. Tt was announced later that the Greek cruiser Averoff was about to be recalled but that two torpedo boats would remain pro- vistonally at Constantinople for the protection of the Greek nationals in that capital.

HAF President, He Claims, Has Put an End to Autocracy ASKS LAW AGAINST STRIKES Convention Adv In Address Before State Temporary Chairman Expresses Hope That Republican Congress Will Take Action, Albany, Sept. - Early adoption by the republican congress of laws at once prohibiting strikes which ‘“‘cut off the supply of food or service necessary to the life of the community,” and at the same time protecting the work- man's liberty was predicted by Elihu Root, temporary chairman, in his ad- dress before the republican state con- vention today. Speaks of Coal Situation Touching on the recent rail and coal strikes Mr. Root said: “We are all employers and labor- ers and the general public is apt to be impatient about strikes. 8o long as strikes were a contest between la- borers and employers to secure for labor it3 fair share of the new wealth which has come to mankind through invention and discovery and the ap- plication of science and the art of or- ganization, the sympathies of the Am- erican public were with labor. When a strike becomes ap attempt to coerce the public into taking action by cut- ting off the supply of food or service ’necessary to the life of the commun- ity T am sure that public feeling goes the other way. Law Mentioned “T think that in this country we are gradually approaching the point where the law of the land will provide for distinguishing between the two kinds of strikes and protecting the public against compulsion by threat of peril to life or of destruction to the ma- chinery of civilization, and at the safne time protect the workman's lih- erty to refuse to work and the work- man’s liberty to work. If we cannot come to that point then the American government of all the people by all the people for all the people will fail and a few will rule the many. Per- haps we are approaching that point as rapidly as is practicable and wise to attempt. “I am inclined to think that noth- ing could be better at this stage of perennial process of industrial adjust- ment than the condition which has now been reached through the pa- tience and sympathetic influence of the president. That condition {s full and impartial investigation into the rights and wrongs upon which the re- cent strikes have rested, accompanied by a clear and uncompromising de- claration by the president of the rule of law and liberty, which is to be ap- plied to the results of the investiga- tion." Five Things Most Needed Declaring that the five things most needed when President Harding took office were an ending of "the auto- cratic method of government consent- ed to for the purpose of carrying on the war; the abolition of the im- mense extravagant scale of cxpendi- ture estahlished during the war; re- storation of normal industrial produc tion; establishment of international peace and convalescence from the condition of feverish excitement inci- dent to the war,” Mr. Root asserted the Harding administration had ac- complished all these. The president, he declared, put an end to autocracy by refusing to be an autocrat by selecting an able cabinet and being willing to take their advice and let them run their own depart- ments—at the same time deeiding in- flexibly after taking counsel, on matters upon which the chief execu- tive was called to decide."” PHOTOS AND PROHIBITION Government Agents Find That “Sleepy” Philadelphia Has a New Way to Make Money. Philadelphia, Sept new and fairly lucrative business coming into being in these parts as a result of prohibition, according to J. E. Jones, agsistant national prohibition commissioner, who is here from Washington on a trip of inspection. It is the selling of photographs of prohibition agents to saloon keepers who violate both the spirit and the letter of the prohibition law. New Jersey saloonkeepers, said Mr. Jones, are glad to pay five dollars a piece for authentic photographs and are anxious to have a complete collection of government agents who operate in their territory. Mr. Jones has found that expert counterfeiters are turning from the manufacture of spurious currency to that of revolwer permits and whiskey hottle labels and are finding it a vo- cation “simpler of accomplishment just as profitable but not nearly so dangerous as making money.” A DUMP FIRE TINGUISHED. Engine company No. 3 was called out this morning at 9:57 o'clock to extinguish a small fire in the Farm- ington avenue dumping grounds. The fire had been smouldering through the night. ‘otic &rtfo I]FFIBER TESTIFIES WINE HAD A ‘KICK’ Grampico Tells Court That Liquor Made Him Happy ‘l.)lD WORK FOR ACCUSED 24700 For Lm‘,finx Up a Dep tfite le Yestaurant ‘\1 g J’ “‘lln; Liquor —-Bnylv- s d h- dv,. Democratic Town Committeeman James Boyle was fined $35 and costs and sentenced to 10 days in jail, the Jjail sentence later being suspended, on a charge of breach of peace by Judge Klett in the police court this morning and fined 8125 and costs on the liquor charge which had been pressed against him, Bonds For Appeal Through his attorney, Willlam Man- gan, Boyle took an appeal of the case with bonds for the breach of peace charge being set at $160 and bonds for the llquor charge at $200. In handing out the sentence to Boyle, Judge Klett sald that the ac- cused made accusations against Chief ‘W. C. Hart which were entirely un- called for and that he would back up the chief and any other officer of the law when they were doing their duty. The judge also told Boyle that the abusing of officers while doing their duty must be stopped. Boyle was arrested on Saturday night on a charge of violating the liquor law and for breach of peace after he had visited the police sta- tion and hecame abusive when asked questions, Decision Reserved Decision was reserved until tomor- row morning by Judge Klett in the case of Prin.o Marino of Myrtle street charged with violating the liquor law. Testimony presented by five officers, Marino and his cook occupied the at- tention of the court for over an hour this morning and at various times proved conflicting. The accused was charged with sell- ing liquor of an intoxicating nature to an officer of the law. Marino, who was represented by Lawyer H. H. Mil- kowitz, claimed that he did not sell the wine and he refused to accept the money the officers offered him but he finally took it as they had con- sumed food in his restaurant in addi- tion to the wine at his home. Officers Drank Wine Officer L1fred Schmidt, when called to the stand testified that Marino had given him and Officer Frank Grampico feur bottles of wine, three of which were drunk at his home, 285 Myrtle street, and the other was brought to the police station as evidence. Lawyer Milkowitz, in cross examin- ing Officer Schmidt asked him if he did not know that it was against the law to sit down and drink intoxicating liquor and asked him why he did not bring the four bottles back to the sta- tion instead of the one. The officer said that he knew it was against the law to drink. He was then asked if it Wasn't a fact that he wanted a drink to which Schmidt re- plied: “We were sent to get a drink and we got it." Wine Had a “Kick"” Officer Grampico was next called to che stand and after being questioned, admitted that the wine had a “kick" in it and that he felt happy after having disposed of some of the stuff. He sald, however, that he wanted a gallon to take out with him but Mar- ino would not sell it to him. Traveled To Hartford He admitted having been at the house before but sald that he was a friend of Marino and had been taking care of a real estate transaction for him. For doing this Marino paid him $17.90. When asked by Lawyer Mil- kowitz what the money was for Grampico replied that it was for the work he did for Marino and his ex- penses including car fare. Asked where it was necessary for him to travel in doing this work, the officer replied to Hartford once. Wanted More Liquor Lawyer Milkowitz then asked Gram- spico why he, with Officer Schmidt drank three bottles of wine before re- turning to the police station. Gram- pico stated that he wanted to see if he could get any other liguor to be used as evidence, “So you wanted to be intoxicated before you returned,” Lawyer Milko- witz added “1 wanted to be sure it was intoxi- cating liquor,”” Grampico replied. “Well don't you know that if you are not sure as to whether or not llquor is intoxicating it can be sent to the state chemist to be analyzed?" Lawyer Milkowitz stated To this Officer Grampico replied that he did not know the liquor could be sent {o a state chemist. McCue On Stand Sergeant McCue was called to the stand. He testified that on Saturday afternoon between one and two o'clock on information given him by Officer Carlson he secured a warrant for the arrest of Marino and with the above named officers and Sergeant Rival started towards DMyrtle street Ser- geant MeCue gave Schmidt a two dol- lar bill after he had noted the serial number, with which to pay for any lHquor secured Carlson Testifies Officer Axel Carlson said that he has been on the Myrtle street bheat sgince July 1 and that on many eve- nings after midnight he has seen men as well as women coi » out of the building at 285 Myitle street in a staggering condition ‘vhen he pre viously saw them entr in an appar- ent sober condition Marino Called to Stand Marino was then called to the stand and through an interpreter stated that he first met Grampico Monday on the street and that the SHOW TALESMEN Superior Court B, Middletown, Conn., Sept Schutte, convicted of murder of members of the Ball family in De- cember, 1915, was a, witness in his own behalf before Judge John P. Kellogg in the superior court today on his petition for a new trial. Schutte is under reprieve until October 24. He was brought to Middletown from the state prison at Wethersfield by two guards this morning. He wore the same suit as clothed him a year ago when he was on trial here Schutte looked well but his manner was not that of a very composed man. Breaks Down Twice, He broke down twice while testi- tying. Up till noon the evidence had to do with Schutte's movements on De- cember 8 and 9, 1915. In the trial Julius Schutte, in testifying against his father said that it was on Decem- ber 8, 1915, while passing the Ball shack that Joseph Ball came out and called names, and that it was the day after that Ball took a shot at the eld- er Schutte. Claims Prejudice. 1 The first witness was Malcolm Lof- gren, a tailor of Middletown, who said that at the time of the trial of Schutte he was employed in a store across the street from the courthouse. On the opening day of the trial, he said, when men of the jury panel were there, Arthur D. Fowler, a talesman | told him in the shop that "Schutte should not have a trial, but ought to be taken out in the woods and shot."” Had Told No One. Lofgren said he had not mentioned this to anyone until the supreme court had refused Schutte a new trial and then he told Mr. Carlson counsel for Schutte. 27.—FEmil | the On cross examination Lofgren said that it was the morning of the first day of the trial that Fowler was in. Portland Farmer Heard, Gustave Osterman, a farmer of Paortland, said that Alvin Josephson, one of the jursrs in ths 'schutte trial, LAWYER FOR SCHUTTE ATTEMPTS TO ‘and on December 9 two loads. | William Schutte cut brush at Turkey WERE PREJUDICED [Hearing On Petition For New Trial is Given Today in v Judge Kellogg. in the spring and summer of 1921, had worked with Willam Schutte, a son, at the farm of Charles Taylor in Cobalt. On the stand Osterman said he retracted the statement that he had heard Josephson say that Schutte was gullty before the trial. He said that after thinking it over he was sure that it was after the trial that Josephson had said that. Osterman admitted that it was last Monday that he had told Carlson that Josephson had no business on the jury because the latter had worked with William Schutte. Advised Against Service, During the trial of Emil Schutte, Osterman testified, he had told Jos- ephson that he should not have serv- ed on the jury because he had been working with William Schutte. A. H. Reynolds of Haddam testified that in 1915 he ran a birch mill in Haddam. He identified two books in which he kept an account of receipts of birch brush at the mill. Charles D. Bailey, employed by Reynolds {identified entries in the books of deliveries of brush by repre- sentatives of Emil Schutte. On De- cember 8 three loads were delivered Prisoner On Stand. Emil Schutte then took the stand. He said tnat on December 8 he and hill. The first load was delivered by Julius, the second by Willlam and the third by himself. The next day Julius delivered one load and he delivered the second. He first thought of the birch tran- saction while in prison and wrote to Mr. Reynolds to see if he had a rec- ord of the deljveries. It was called to Mr. Schutte's attention that at the trial he had said he could not recall where he was on those days. He re- plied by saying that while in his cell he thought over the paat and recalled the birch cutting. Mr. Carlson offer- ed as exhibits the account books. Re- cess was then taken. SPELLAGY MAY SPEAK AT LOCAL GATHERING Senatorial Nominee Invited to Opening of Campaign Monday Night The fall campaign will get into full swing next Monday evening when the Hardware City Democratic club will stage a rally with senatorial nominee Thomas J. Spellacy as the chief speak- er, provided Mr. Spellacy can find it possible to come to this city on that evening. If not, other candidates, possibly David E. FitzGerald, nominee for governor, will attend. The Hardware City club was one of the most active political organizations in the state during the last mayoralty campaign and to its activities was due no small amount of Mayor M. Paonessa's success at the polls. Its officials, confident that another dem- ocratic success is in the winds, have named a speakers’ committee and are planning a campaign of the most ag- gressive type. In addition to Mr Spellacy or Mr FitzGerald, the club plans to have several of the candidates for subor- dinate offices on the state ticket it attendance and a few remarks will he heard from each While electioneering for the office | ot governor four years ago, Mr. Spel- lacy addressed a rally in this city and was well received.

Under the present system, Mayor Paonessa explains, the funds of the several departments revert back to the general fund at the close of business on the last day of the fiscal vear The ci opens the new year without funds available for outlay and until payments begin to come in, on July 1, the city is obliged to bor-| row money. Heavy interest items are the result, and in the opinion of the mayor and others who have discussed the system, it is decidedly poor busi- ness well as an unnecessary ex- | pense The mayor also believes that if easy payment terms were offered to tax- payers with a special inducement for those who can and will pay all at once, the money will flow into the city's coffers more regularly. He will propose that two separate hills be mailed customers, one calling for a pavment of one half the amount due, cn April 1, and the second calling for the balance on October 1 Tlhose who pay the entire amount April 1 would receive a ount while those who allow the to run on past that date would required to pay an interest penalty GREGORY-VALENTINE at St Paonessa and will come up for revision as bil be Local Couple Married Mary's Church at 9 o'Clock This Morning by Father Winters, Miss Clementina Valentine and Wil- liam Gregory were married at 9 o'clock this morning at 8t Mary's church They were attended by Miss Rose Riche as bridesmaid, and Alfred Gregory, brother of the groom, as best man The bride attired in georgette and carried a bridal quet.

Paonessa in a statement made to representatives of | the newspapers today asks for the support of the local people {in the erection of the proposed new hotel. Mayor Paonessa says in part: “New Britain has won a high place in Connecticut as one of its most progressive manufacturing | cities. The men who laid the foun- dation of New Britain's great hard- | ware industries did so without the| advantages of waterpower, considered | so essenrtial in like development in practically every other manufactur- ing city in Connecticut. With the growth of our city in population and manufacturing interests during the past 25 years there has come an in- sistent demand that we are able to take care of the visitor who comes here on business or for social reasons ( —this need has not been met up to | the present time, in spite of its rec- ognition by the manufacturers, the retall merchants and every other citi- zen who takes time to think of the civic needs of New Britain. “This need can be emphasized by drawing attenion to one or more facts which will {llustrate the fact that it exists, for instance whenever repre- sentatives of our manufacturing com- panies come to New Rritain in any number at all they must of necessity be entertained in Hartford or the homes of manufacturers, When trav- eling salesmen visit our ecity to do business with our retail merchants we say t o them, our hotel accommoda- |® tions are limited. The demand is greater than the supply, therefore the most of them go to other cities for their hotel accommodation. “We have county wide and state wide organizations which hold annual gatherings. Can New Britain invite them to come here and hold their meetings? Only to a limited degree. We cannot ask the people of our state ;o learn what a fine city New Britain s. “The social functions of our citizens which brings any number of people to New Britain must be limited because we cannot accommodate them in the manner a city of the size of New Britain should. “These few facts point out clearly that we are being advertised in our own state and in other states as a city which cannot properly entertain those who come here for business and social reasons. This is injurious from a civic standpoint and it hurts the |! | pride of those interested in the wel- fare of our city. “The lecation for the hotel chosen by the committee is one of the best possible as it is in the civic center and makes it most convenient for the local people as well as the visitor. “Another reason we should support the campaign for a new hotel is that this will be a real community center. One which all of our citizens can use and enjoy. Let us back up the group of men who are unselfishly giving of their time and influence to make pos- sible this new modern hotel for New Britain “A.
