Tn line with this the local council is ‘launching a campalign for men to en- ter the scoutleader's training school which will commence its sessions April 9 at'the Central Junior High school..

Fay, director of educa- tion for the local council, will have charge of the training as heretofore and the course which he has develop- ed over a period of six years will be the one taught.” This course was or- iginally introduced by Mr. Fay into the training program of the “Greater Boston council” and that council and the New Britain council are both us- ing it to great advantage.

J. Dan- berg would receive a ralse in spite of the mayor's veto, the mayor as- serted that the salary lists would be cut by the elimination of certain jobs, if necessary.

T00 MUCH RED TAPE ~ IN JUVENILE CBURTS (Continued from First Page) were more probation officers of | the old school such as the late I‘rank Arnold of Hartford ana L. C! Con- nelly of New DBritain, the children would be better off, He said that there are too many probation officers who want to show their authority ana many of them are not living up to the oath of their office, N . The object of many of them, the speaker said, is to ‘increase theif pay or else attempt to keep their position forever by having more children on their probation list. ¥ Speaking pf the Hartford court, Judge Pallotti said that it was much more expensive than the old one. There'is a detention room which costs money to operate, it is necessary to hire a stenographer, to have a ma- tron and an assistant matron as well as the probation officer on the pay- roll.. He said the court is housed in the welfare association's quarters rent free but the association might appear before the legislature at some session looking for money and claiming that it is housing the ,uxvennc'court with- out cost, he said. Closing his remarks, the gpeaker as- serted that unless the cities, judges and people are careful the legisla- ture may take away some of the power granted to juvenile courts.

This money wilt be divided ‘among the orphans or New Britain., A meeting of the directors of the club will be held in the office of V- liam Goldthwaite tomorrow afternoon at 5 o'clock.

COURT T0 TRY CASE Effort to Have House of David Action Aired in Ecclesiastical Court Fails. Grand Rapids, March 20.—Hearing of the suit of John W.

Sater hav- ing declined to consider a motion by the House of David that the case be heard by an ecclesiastical court. An- other motion secking a jury trial was| likewise ruled out. | Efforts of Attorney Walter H. Nel- son, counsel for the plaintiff, to bring out practices and beliefs of members of the cult were blocked in a measure, by a ruling by the court that such testimony was not admissible unless it | related to possible fraud as charged by Hansell. The plaintift signed | away his property when he joined the| cult in 1920, and that when he was expelled with his family in 1920, Ben- jamin Purnell, head of the sect, re-| fued to return the property. | Both Hansell and his wife testified | that they had no personal knowledge of immorality at the colony; that they believed the teachings of the sect and accepted Benjamin Purnell as “the younger brother of Jesus and the sev- enth messenger angel.” METHODIST CHURCH BURNED Coaticook, Que., March 20v—Fire today destroyed the Methodist church and parsonage the Grand Centrat hotel, two furniture stores, bakery, drug store and a harness shop.
