He said that in the past five years he has refused to hold six conven- tions in New Britain merely hecause there were no hotel accommodations. He also told the workers that it fis the spirit that will put the sales across and said that if local manu- facturers had paid any attention to outsiders who said that they would not be able to make their plant go in New Britain, when they started years ago, there would not be any factories in this city. He said not to believe anyone when they say “You can't make a hotel go in New Britain.” To Start Work Soom.

It now becomes the duty of the scout airplanes to unmask the menac- ing guns and report their positions accurately. This task was essayed by three army pllots in scout ships of Curtis and Thomas-Morse types. were Major Junius W. Jones, Lieut. Newton W. Longfellow and Lieut. J. Connell In sweeping cir- cles they scoured the whole terrain until, not long before noon, they had spotted accurately every camou- flaged gun of the enemy battery. Positions Noted by Radio. By radio the information then was sent through the air to Lieut. Evers Abbey, who, accompanied by Private Sidney W. Fox, was trailing the air scouts equipped with cameras and prepared to photograph the gun em- placements as speedily as they were located. Abb ship soared above the masked battery and the cameras did their work as accurately and as speedily as the scout planes had done theirs. The lieutenant sald afterward that *the results were most gratify- ing, demonstrating, as they did, the mastery of the scout plane over the menace of the masked batter; Lieut. Abbey was aid to Brig.-Gen. William Mitchell, of the Air Service, when the *German and American warships were bombed and sunk off the .Vir- ginia Capes last year. Airplanes Bombard Targets, Next came a startling demonstra- tion of what would be likely to hap- pen to an enemy battery thus located. A white cloth target was stretched on the ground. It was a parallelogram only about 4 by 8 feet and supposed to represent a fleld gun. Above it now salled the Martin bombers, the same pilots at their steering sticks. smoke bombs they bombarded the mark from altitude ranging from one-half to one and one-half miles. The actual scores registered were not disclosed, but there was a surprising numbem of potential hits. Observers on the ground informed each pilot of a successful shot by lighting a puff bomb. Major Jones later in the afternoon demonstrated in his “shimmying" plane his own method of correcting shell or shrapnel fire by side or for- ward or backward dips of his afr- craft executed by the aerial observer. This method of signaling is supposed to be useful when radio communica- tion may be rendered difficult or fm- possible through interference or other causes At nightfall there was a new and Spectacular feature of the war prob- lem.

The second day Meusel swatted a home run with two on base giving the Glants all of thelr scores for the aft- ernoon. Yesterday his single in the [third sent Groh across the counting rubber.

Just before the start of yesterday's game Garry Hermann, owner of the Cin- cinnati Reds, left his box to pay a short visit of greeting to Tlatty. He did not bother “Big Six” with a plea for his signature.

Jack Dempsey was on hand again. He entered with as much quiet and calm poise as is usual when 40 pho- tographers and a hundred champ fol- lowers surround a big man wearing a champagne-colored cap. On the way to his seat Dempsey went out upon the field to exchange epigrams with John McGraw. Babe Ruth couldn't hit the ball be- yond the infield. Three times Scott pitched to him with such exceeding skill that the home run slugger topped the ball o that it took a high bound and was fielded between first and second.

This general agreement will now be submitted to the French and Brit- ish cabinets which are in session and will be referred to Rome b ythe Ital- ian representative here. Aocceptance Likely There is considered to be little doubt however that all will accept and that the details will be worked out this afternoon so that the allied gen- erals at Mudania can resume their conference in full agreement with each other as to the terms to be of- fered the Turks Three Provisions The solution agreed upon p®ovides three steps for the return of Thrace to the Turks as follows: 1—The Greek army and those of the population desiring to leave must evacuate immediately. 2—A Turkish civil administration will be installed at the same time the allled troops take the place of the Greek forces to preserve order. 3—The Turkish army will be lowed to cross the straits of the Dar- danelles and enter Thrace only upon conclusion of a peace treaty and it will not be until that time that east- ern Thrace is completely restored to Turkey. al- Lengthy Conference. The conversation between M. Poin- care and Lord Curzon consumed two hours and a half. It was understood the British cabinet was awaiting a report from their foreign minister and the French cabinet had already gathered in an adjoining room of the foreign office when the two ministers came from their conference. Agree “In Principle.” “We hope to reach a complete agreement during the day" Lord Cur- son told the Associated Press when leaving the foreign office to inform his government of the developments. “We went over the situation Mudania and some other matters" I added, “"and are now referring them to our respective cabinets. We will meet again at 2 o'clock. We are agreed in principle.” The modified program of the lies it is believed will give the Kemal- ists added assurance that the three powers intend that eastern Thrace shall be returned to Turkey as soon as adequate measures have been taken to make the transfer without danger to the Christian minority. al- BAR SOCIALISTS' NAMES.

Willlam Hayward, United States at- torney and John D. Appleby, zone prohibition chief, 10 agents dug last evening through walls two feet thick into secret compartments in the base- ment of the building occupled by the Standard Carpet company, 819321 East 44th street and seized cham- pagne, whiskey and alcohol valued at $600,000 to $1,000,000, A preliminary inventory of the selz- @d goods showed 150 barrels and 2,000 cases of whiskey, 10 barrels of bottled champagne and 500 five-gallon cans of alcohol, Part of the liquor seized, according as beihg some of that taken from the Republic warehouse in West 34th street on false custom house permits last May. The presence of Col. Hayward at last night's raid was taken to be of particular significance. The United States prosecutor rode to Washington on the same train Wednesday, with Ralph A. Day, fed- €ral prohibition director for New York state. After interviews between Mr. Day and Commissioners Haynes and Blair in Washington, the resigna- tion of Mr. Day was announced. Mr. Day and Col. Hayward rode back to New York on the same train. Mr. Day has stated that the colncidence of the two going to Washington on the same train had no significance. 4,900 Cases Missing The diversion of 4,900 cases of whiskey from the Republic ware- house last May is now under investi- gation by a federal grand jury. The manner of last night's raid indicated that some person had betrayed the whereabouts of part of the loot. Hayward and Appleby, at the head of the.squad of prohibition agents, swooped down on the East 44th street building in trucks. They measured the floor space on the first floor and in the cellar and found a discrep- ancy. Then a wire cable was discov- ered running along the floor of the cellar, disappearing under a brick wall in the rear. Enter Secret Chamber Pickaxes and crowbars were brought into play and a secret room was found. A hole big enough for a man to enter was made and Appleby and Hayward, carrying flashlights led the agents into the secret chamber. Barrels, cases and cans were dis- closed in the weird lighting of the Jashlights. After exploring the room or a half hour, more floor measure- nents were made. There was still floor space on the first floor to be accounted for. A second wall was pierced and a sec- ond secret chamber found, measur- ing twelve by fifty feet. In one corner was a stairway leading toward the ceiling without a visible means of exit. Dircctly over the cellar is a garage, belonging to the Standard Carpet Company. In the garage a table was found with a heavy dynamo on it The table hid the cracks of a trap- door leading to the stairway. There was a erane for removing the dynamo from the table when the door was used. Col. Haywood said after the raid that the Standard Carpet Company was only a camouflage for bootleg- ging from the two secret chambers. The place was discovered by tracing a check of Mannie Kessler, who fis held in connection with the Republic Warehouse robbery. It was found to have gone to a branch of the car- pet company in Connecticut. A dis- play of carpets was kept Mr. Hay- ward said, to allow the use of large carpet trucks for the transportation of liquor. ABLE TO DETECT ARTIFICIAL PEARLS Difference Between Them and the Real Thing Only in the Pearl Seed It Is Explained Paris, Oct. 7.—Owners in Paris of valuable strings of pearls have been thrown into something like consternation by the published opinion of Dr. Louis Boutan, professor of science at the University of Bordeaux and an expert in pearls, that he and other pearl experts are unable to dis- tinguish between real pearls and those artificially grown by the Jap- anese, The statement of Dr. Bou- tan, made at the French Academy of Sciences, removes the last hope con- cerning Japanese pearls, which have been grown in quantity since M. Miki- moto, the Japanese scientist made his discovery. Pearls normally are grown by ac- cident, through a fine grain of sand entering the shell of the oyster. The white substance, called a pearl, grows inside the oyster and is a secretion caused by the effort of the shellfish to get rid of the foreign substance. Mikimoto concelved the idea of opening oysters and inserting the foreign substance, or grain of sand, that formerly came there accl- dentally. Since Japanese began to grow pearls artifieially, there has been much discussion as to whether these new pearls would affect the value of the accidentally grown pearls. The only difference would appear to be in the pearl seed, or grain of sand, and now it is claimed by Dr. Boutan that even this difference cannot be de- tected. The statement of Dr. Boutan Is categoric: “If I did not have a cer- tificate of origin when sections of pearls were shown me, pearls cut into sections for testing purposes, I would not be able to say which pearl is arti- ficial.” The white mess jacket is worn by officers of the United States army at social functions in the tropics.

TRAFFIG LAWS Newspaper Laments Frequency of Rccidents in City of London London, Oct. 7.—American visi- tors to London, especially prominent ones, are Inclined to say pleasant things to their hosts, and Englishmen are not disinclined to listen. The latest example of this was given by Governor Cox, of Ohio, who is quoted by the Daily Mail as saying some very pleasing things about London as a city. But would it not be better all around, asks the Dally Chronlicle, if they would give us some constructive criticlsm? Lamenting the frequency of accldents on London streets, this paper says: “"Why doesn’'t London im- ftate New York, which now leads the world in traffic regulations? It is perhaps too much to hope for the system of signal boxes, semaphores and colored lights that make Fifth avenue a model of safety and ‘efficient traffic regulation. But at least we could follow New York's examples in forbldding pedestrians to cross the roadway at dangerous crossings until the point policeman has arranged a falrway and given permission to cross. This rule {s so strictly carried out that even the New York messenger boy does not infringe it. “Another rule that is universal in American and Canada compels all motor traffic to stop dead until a tramcar has discharged and taken up its passengers and started off again, Why this rule s not adopted in Eng- land it is impossible to imagine."” “It is nice to have Americans come here and throw lovely bouquets at us,” said an English writer, “but I thnk they would do us more good if they occasionally told us point blank of some of the things they -find wrong with us. This mutual admiration business that goes on now is not good for either of us.” BANK STATEMENT.

EXTENSIVE PHOTOGRAPHY New Airplane Camera Surveys Great Areas Hitherto Inaccessible Says Engineering Editor. Chicago, Sept. 19.—Photographic maps taken by a new camera used in airplanes make possible the survey- ing of a few hours of vast areas hitherto inaccessible, according to J. M. Mercer, editor for the Western so- citty of Engineers. This camera, Mr. Mercer assertea, was developed by Major James W. Bagley because experiments made immediately after the World war showed inaccuracies in the method or aerfal surveying then wused. The camera has three lenses and a photo- graphic transformer by means of which photographic maps can be made which will be ‘‘exceedingly ac- curate,” stated Mr. Mercer. Recently an aerial survey was made of the city of New York,” Mr. Mer- cer continued, “for use in connection with the location of certain impor- tant railroad and tunnel properties. The same maps were used by the zon- ing commission, and for such work ithey are invaluable.
