Geers, veteran turf. man, died with his boots on. He was a victim of the calling to which he lent lustre for half a century. During his notable career he was the ideal Jjockey, lending a note of dignity to the track which is well worthy of emulation by the younger element following a similar mode of lveli- hood. A native of Memphis, he drove horses on race tracks since he was 17 ybars of age. At his death, following a splll yesterday at the Wheeling track, he was 73. During that long span hedived an ideal life and to- ward the end of his career was known as “the grand old man of the turf.” Geers had #riends in this vicinity. | One of them was Wilbur B. Hall of Meriden, who had known Geers for 25 years. Hall himself is a track- man and was with Geers at the grand circuit races at Kalamazoo, Mich,, recently. After the Wheeling state falr Geers was to have brought his horses to Connecticut, it was stat- ed by Hall, “Pop" Geers stood high in the af- fections of the populage and his tragic passing will be greatly re- gretted. NEW USE FOR PLANES The machinations of the boll weevil is something that New England is interested in because of its effect upon southern cotton plantations, which supply the scores of northern mills with raw product. In years dur- ing which the pest gets a strong foothold upon the crop the industry ia meriously affected and Neéw Eng< 1and is harmed. , Ways of fighting the insect are many, but the most modern way is to use an airplane te “dust” a cotton plantation with eaiclum arsenate. The plane files over the cotton fleld and scatters the chemical, which descends upon the flelds and ends the happy career of the bugs. This dletribution of bug poison on the wholesale plan by the use of airplanes smacks distinctly of 20th century civilization, and is another use to which the flying machine can be put. The time may come when the entire eotton industry is protect- ed by hundreds of planes scattering death to bugs from the air. chts and Fancies DY ROBERT QUILLEN Only the braye deserve the falr The bondholders won the war, At any rate we shall whether there's any virtue pompadour. discover in a God made legs, buf*man made the knickers that add the element of ‘humor.

Considine, alias Charles Smith, notorious criminal, was under arrest today, said by police to have con- fessod the robbery of the 16 houses at Bouth Pasaden# and Altadena. The prisoner, who says that through the influence of Lady Astor he was pardoned from a life sen- tence passed upon him in England for shooting his * former partner, Eddie Guerin, one of the few men to escape from the French Devil's Island prison camp off the north- east coast of South America, was taken into custody with a 21 year old “student.” B With his arrest, Considine, who admitted that the name is but one of a hundred that he has used, re- counted to police and newspaper men the story of 26 years in Eng- land, France, America and South America. He said that he shot Guerin in the foot when the latter attempted to disfigure Chicago May, blackmailer, who alded Guerin in his escape from Devil's Island. Considine was released from the English prison in May, 1922, after serving 12 years at hard labor, NOT GUILTY, GILPATRIC'S PLEA 10 EMBEZZLEMENT Priends of Former State Treasurer Fumish Bonds of $50.000 For His Release Putnam, Sept. 4.—G. Harold Gil- patric was arraigned vesterday aft- ernoon before United States Com- missioner Earl Matthewson of Nor- wich at the Day Kimball hospital, and a formal charge of embezzle- ment presented, He pleaded not guilty and waived examination. Bonds were fixed at $50,000 and they were promptly raised by friends of the former state treas- urer whose alleged defalcations of close to $500,000 resulted in the closing of the First National bank of Putnam. Gilpatric was represented by At- torney William A. King and the federal government by Assistant District Attorney George fi. Cohen. Friends of the banker had cir- | culated a list among his former as- sociates to secure -pledges for a bond when one would be fixed. Forty-one names were on the list and when 26 had been called yes- terday bonds of<$94,000 had been socured with at least as much more ready to be posted if therc was need. Gilpatric is still a patient at the hoepital and as yet has not been ad- { vised that the bullet with which he | had hoped to end his life has taken | his eyesight. He may be removed | from the hospital to the home of | his father in a few days.

KERNAN, Reader Takes Issue With Speaker at Kiwanis Club Meeting. Rditor New Britain Heral Just what did Mr. Kernan mean? In your issue of last évening, we read the alleged remark of Mr. Ker- nan of Waterbury concerning cheap welfare workersand eentimental bosh parading as charity, winding up with the statement that “sometimes we dre almost as bad as the churches with their missionarfes.” Beautiful sentiment, isn't #t? Who and what is Mr. Kernan and what does the Kiwanis club stand for? We had had a more or less hazy ,idea that it stood for civic Improvement and tie advancement of better ideals and practices in the community. Are men of Mr. Kernan's stamp to turn it into a Tom Payne club? Whatever the Kiwanis club or the Waterbury oracle stand for, I ro« sent the inference that the church of Jesus Christ (regardless of de- nomination) is so low, so degraded, &0 deegnerate as to be used as a crl- terion for fakes and the like. Neither are those noble men and women, who live their lives to the work of God in lands far from home; who suffer many hardehips, dangers, separations trom home and friends and a thousand other inconveniences for the cause of Christ to be com. pared to cheap incompetents who neglect their tasks or are not ca- pable of filllng their jobs, I hope timt Mr. Kernan has been misquoted, but if he has net, then T pray that the Church of Jesus Christ and its devoted ministers in mis- elonary ficlds may never drop to his intellectual and moral level.

Chicago, Sept. 4.—In the event of a hanging decision by Judge John R. Caverly in the murder and kidnap- ping-case of Nathan Leopold, J., and Richard Loeb, defense attorneys are ‘understood to have under consider- ation two surprise moves by which they hope to carry on the battle to save the lives of the two boys. The first would be the filing of a petition in a court of equal jurisdic- tion, actting forth that the boys have become insane since the trial. This petition would aek that a jury be called to determine their mental con- dition. The other move, it 18 understood, would involve two steps, one before and the other after sentence is pro- nounced. The first step would be the presentation of a motion asking Judge Caverly to withdraw the plea of guilty now entered and change fo a plea of not gullty. The second step would be a trial by jury.
