J,, on Sunday after- noon. So far as available records show he was the first to use elec- tricity as a means of suicide. In face of the officlal verdict that he had done so, his family stoutly insisted that he had died accidentally while experimenting. The youth was the mainstay of an orphan family of three—himself and his two sisters, Sophie and Margaret. Princess Pat.-Relief Week = .é‘ £ N NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, 'TUESDAY, OCTOBER 17, 1922.

BROAD ST. COUPLE SENTENCED TO JAIL R A - Mankus Gets Four Months, His Wife, Two; Gryzenia Held For High Court—Girl to Reform School After he had walved examination in charges of indecent assault upon a minor female, Walter Cryzenla aged 23, a grocer, was bound over to the next term of the superfor court in bonds of $3,000, by Judge G. W. Klett this morning. Mr. and Mrs. Ignata IMankus pléaded guilty to harboring |a young woman for immoral purposes and the former was sentenced to four months in jail while the latter was given two months. Helen Domijohm, the girl in the case, who is 14 years old, was committed to the Industriat School for Girls. The police department had consid- erable information concerning the Mankus home at 75 Grove street, ac- cording to Prosecutor J. G. Woods, and as a result of that information, Detective Sergeants W. P. McCue and Matthias Rival arrested the three ac- cused last week. The girl made dam- aging admissions, the police say, In which all three were implicated. Lawyer Henry Nowicki representea the accused today. He charged thrt the girl was not of the innocent type but entirely without morals. He asked that consideration be shown the couple becatise of their two small children, J ud&e for Yourself Just It won't take long to complete TEL. 2240 His vielent death has shocked the community in which the three had lived something of a family idyN in the little home they had bullt with the aid of a building and loan asso- ciation. Their house was put up with particular.regard to sun and alr, for in it they hoped that Margaret would recover completely from tuberculosis after havin@ spent a year and a half at, Saranac, whither the Y.

Wil No definite motive has been estab- lished for the suicide, though it has been conjecturedsthat the burden of | maintaining the family may have| been too heavy for young shoulders, or it may have resulted from morbid depression because about a year ago an insurance company pronounced the boy an unsafe risk and refused him a policy. Pulls Strings to Turn on Current. West was an expert lapidary, and his skill with gems brought him good wages, but it does not appear that he had any particular experience with electricity or any great knowledge of how to turn currents to his own uses.

ARGUMENTS Sees No Right to.Seize Ships Out- side Three Mile Limit e Washington, Oct. 17 (By Associated Press)—Negotiations between the British embassy and the state depart- ment looking to the release‘ from custody of vessels of British registry seized by prohfbition forces outside the three mile limit were expected to take more deflpite form as a result of the definite refusal of the British government to enter an agreement which would permit of réciprocal au- thority to make such seizures. British Are Opposed. A suggestion from the United States that an agreement whereby the two governments could exercise special supervision over American and British shipping in costal waters out- side the internationally accepted limit of jurisdiction would be of ma- terial assistance to American authori- ties in enforcement of customs .and llquors status was opposed by 'the British government in a note made public last night on the ground that an undesirable precedent would be established. Great Britain however, offered to co-operate in every way consistent with her fixed policies to activities of smugglers along the American coast In the ‘“conversations'—as they have been described in diplomatic circles,——looking to the release of ves: sels alleged to have been seized on the high seas British representatives here are known to have differentiated sharply beteween cases of ships cap- tured outside the three mile limit which had established contact with the shore by use of their small boats and those against which no such evi- dence lay. English View. It was understood Great Britain has indicated her willingness to adhere to the doctrine laid down by the United States supreme court that the send- ing of small boats into the jurisdic- tion area served to bring the parent- ship to all intents under the same jurisdiction In other cases how- ever the British view was declared to be emphatic that American enforce- ment agencies were without authority. In support of the contention that such ships as the Buema and the Gardner, both of which were captured by the American "dry navy' at points | from seven to nine miles off the New Jersey coast, the British Government was understood to have relied heavily on the decision obtained by the United States from British cburts in 1805 in the case of the schooner “‘Anna.” The Case of the Anna. The Anna, flying American colors, was captured by the British privateer Minerva, near the mouth of the Mississippi river and her cargo of log- wood was confiscated and sold Am interesting feature of the case was that as in the cases of the ships re- cently taken off New Jersey—a large sum of money found on board by the captors was sefzed. Claim for the ship's release was filed through the American minister in London on the ground that she had been captured within the marginal area over which the United States as- | serted exclusive jurisdiction The | British courts upheld this FOY\YEHY[OY\‘ and it is now declared that the; United States is estopped by its own | precedent from going outside that margin. | The +Dritish note pointed out that Great Britain had already taken steps | to prevent practices as to registry is- | suance and clearance papers mi which the United States had com- plained of in its note, adding that Great Britain had supplemented these steps since the American nbte had heen received and it was hoped | “the measures taken will prove suc-| cessful in preventing any breaches in the local law.

Hines, former director general of railroads, pointed out new opportunities for (n-‘ genuity and initiative in railroad oper- ation in an address at the annual meeting of the assoclated industries! of Massachusetts today. \ The present difficulties in railroad service he said constituted only a. temporary emergency condition. He, said that while standardization o‘ wages, agreement on working condi- tions and the decisions of the labor| board had restricted the initiative of] the rallroads, there was still oppor- tunity to make progress. He expressed the belief that rail- road managemenls while concentrat- ing thelr attention very largely upon efficiency in the movement of trains: had not given sufficient attention to the efficiency of labor employed in the terminals and in the maintenance of trackage and equipment.

The Biggest Field. “But there remains an even greater field for effort and initiative . . that is the fleld of the relationship be- tween the management and the em- ployes. At the present time I think many railroad managements are giv- ing serious attention to this great problem." Unless the present trend of un- scientific economic reasoning is ar- rested the sane and logical analysis substituted therefor, it is inevitable that the industrial life of this nation will be threatened with extinction, Charles R. Gow, president of the as- sociated industries said in his annual address. “There can be little wonder,” he said, “at the present social unrest of the masses when they are being continually encouraged by individuals of prominence in all walks of life to believe that the standards of living ta | which they aspire are being denied them by unjust, selfish and dishonest employers who seek to profit at their expense. As a consequence of this widespread belief among employes in industry there has resulted a moral breakdown on the part of labor and VICTOR Millinery . and| Wednesflay and Thursday Only 1 Bought Out Manufacturer’s Sample Line of Goodlooking Trimmed and Ready to-Wear -4 $5.00 $3.00 LOT NO. 3—Ready-To-Wear Sport Hats and Sailors. $2.00 Children’s Hats included in this sale.
