MA SOUTHINGION, CON] ‘FRIDAY AND I3 BAD COMBINATION Ancient Hoodoo Aids Detectives Trap Watermelon Gonnoisseurs Friday was an unlucky day for the 18 boys who hung around the freight yards yesterday. Probably they |didn’t stop to count the number of hoys in tha crowd, probably they for got it was Friday. However, Rallroad Detective Howard Smith and Acting Detective Patrick O'Mara were on the job and the fatal 13 got in its deadly work. Some watermelons were missing and there was a connection between the missing watermelons and the “Un- lucky 13" boys which lodged the lat- ter in the hands of the police, They admitted their guilt in juvenile court this morning before Judge B. W. Al- ling and were told to “Go and sin no more, also stay away from the freight yards.” Boy Stole $110 Another young man did not fare quite so well, Although he wept co- plous tears into a handkerchief while he was belng cross examined by the court he was told frankly and with no equivocation that he was lying. The young man was apprehended by De- tective Sergeant Willlam P, McCue and Acting Detective Sergeant Mich- ael Flynn, who say he stole $110. The young man admitted taking the whole amount when cross examined by the police, but denied the entire theft when brought into juvenile court. The money was taken from two dif- ferent places. KFrom 215 Curtis street $90 was stolen and from the J. J. Naughton bakery the other $20 was taken. Aftér a second interview with the police authorities the young man admitfed taking $4 but denled taking any more. He was placed in Mr. Con- nolly’s care and told that he was be- ing given his last chance. He must do as his mother tells him, attend church and Sunday school as well as week day school and even summer school every day they are In session and conduct himself like a model young man, The first time he for- gets these instructions he will go to Meriden by order of Judge Alling who commented that there was no other place for boys who won't tell the truth in court.

STEEL DAY Entie New Scale Must Be Framed, 1t Is Reported New Lork, July 28.—Readjustment problems involved in the program of the steel industry to abolish the 12 hour day were the subject of two more conferences of heads of steel manufacturing plants today. In the forenoon officials of the United States Steel Corporation again constdered ways and means to change the hours of its 5,000 twelve hour la~ | borers, and in the afternoon directors of theAmerican Iron and Steel Insti- tute digcussed the problems as it af- fects the industry as a whole. Formal announcement was with- held at the conclusion of both meet- ings, but it was learned that directors of the Instituee decided to renew their discussions in New York again, proba- bly next Thursday. Steel Corporation subsidiary heads will continue their conferences to- morrow morning in the offices. of Elbest H. Gary, chairman, with theli i .p1e possibility that further meetings will be held next week. The readjustment of wages, which is necessary if hours are reduced, is understood to be the chief obstacle to immediate elimination of the much critized twelve hour shift. Not only will it be necessary, officials point out, to increase the pay of the men now employed at 40 cents an ‘hour for twelve hours, but employes who are now working eight, nine and ten hour shifts must also be considered in any wage readjustment. This in itself, it is said, is an intri- cate problem requiring intimate study of conditions in each plant. In addi- tion the question of housing additional employes must be worked out. This question involves, in some localities, the necessity of separating, or segre- gating the men of diferent races or nationalities employed in the indus- try. Recently thousands of negroes and Mexicans have been employed to keep | the plants running at near capacity, and eevn though business slackens some before the new program is made operative, preparations must be made, it is pointed out, for perfods of un- usual activity, Members of the board of directors of the Amerlcan Iron and Steel Insti- tute it is understood, were directed at today's conference to return to their respective plants to obtaln accurate information as to the attitude of their employes. This information will be used at the adjourned meeting next | week to evolve a flxed principle on which to proceed in the readjustment of wages, Food Situation Critical Germany; Lack of Money London, July 28.—The food situa- tion in Germany is giving rise to some anxiety in official quarters in London.

Then they fill up excessively and wind up In the al- coholic ward at Bellevue. “During the last year there has been a notable increase in the num- ber of patients suffering from alcohol- fsm. Immediately after prohibition became effective the number decreas- ed. From 1919 to 1921 but few vio- lent cases of delirlum tremens were reported to Bellevue. With the ad- vent of cutting plants to supply syn- thetic drinks, however, the liquor sup- ply became plentiful again for those who would take the trouble to hunt for a drink. If Boze Bunk told John Doe the quart of alleged liquor. he was selling him was the “real stuff” John believed it—because he wanted a drink, “The antidotes we administer to al- coholics now are different from those of the wet days, because varying symptoms caused by hard jags require us to formulate a medicine adaptable to the peculiarities of the case. It un- veryingly is our experlence that peo- ple who get drunk on the modern in- toxicants do not recuperate as rapidly as the drunks we treated prior to the reign of Volsteadism. The poison that drifts through the body does not react as readily to the medicine we adminlster and intoxicated people stay Broggy longer. “The potency of our Nassauvian bootleg hooch varies from the po- tency of pure alcohol whiskey, It has more the effect of a narcotic than of undiluted grain alcohol. FEven in the face of this, men go right on consum- ing the stuff. As of old they stage weekly sprees on Saturday and Sun- day nights, with the result that a good many more of them wake up in Belle- vue on those days than on the older days of the week, Former, Russian Official Has Faith in His Conutry Williamstown, Mass., July 28— Faith in the reestablishment ultimate- ly of a sound Russia was expressed by Boris A. Bakhmeteff, former Rus- sian ambassador, when he addressed members of the institute of politics today at the opening session of his round table conference on “interna- tional aspects of the Russian ques- tion,” within two generations, he pre- dicted Russin would be transformed in all probability into a modern demo- cratic state. Farm_el' efuses to Thresh, Claiming Prices Too Low Omaha, Neb, July 28.—A report from Gibbon, Neb., says a farmer near there began threshing but stopped be- fore the work had progressed very far, as he figured the yield at present prices would not be sufficient to pay for threshing.

Bellevue Hospital Says Patients| AMERICAN OPERA WAITS FOR"HOME RECOGNITION Artist and Opera Must Be Encouraged If More Production is Expected Says Mrs, Freer. Chicago, July 28.—American artists and opera must be encouraged if more production is expected, and one of the best means of such encouragement is an immediate change of system in companies incorporated in the United States, said Mrs, <Eleanor Everest Freer, national co-chairman of the opera department, National Federa- tion- of Music clubs, in a statement here today. - “The adopition of éur own language for foreign operas will place Ameri- can opera on an equal footing with those of the old world, and also will encourage a closer study of our own productions,” Mrs, Freer asserted. “America has opera and music all its own, but Americans have not yet fully realized it. * “Operas indigenous to our soil, in their subjects, are of great {mpor- tance, although no one advocates their exclusive performance. The choice of the subject, however, should be en- tirely a personal matter with the com- poser. If we do not encourage our artists we cannot expect much pro- duction, and we cannot afford not to leave art treasures behind us for coming generations.’” More than 80 operas'by some of the best musicians in the country have been published, Mrs. Freer added, “and we as Americans should insist that they we presented along with the timehonored classics.” lieligious E}lucation Is To Be Studied on Isle Boston, July 28.—A special traln bearing representatives of 90 chap- ters of the Unitarian laymen's league, members of the league's administra- tive staff and a number of religious educators and lecturers left here to- day for the Isle of Shoals off Ports- mouth, N.
