The charge grew out of the of German Wilson, coast guardsman, at the Marine hospital, | New York, Dccember 4. It is al-| leged that Washington threw a milk bottle at Wilson which struck | him on the head behind the left| car while the two, with Fred Simms, | another coast guardsman, were at| the house of Mrs. Alice Marks, ne- gress, of 360 Main street, ber 4. | Washington admitted throwing the bottle when presented in court | tnday after Simms had testified to| that effect. Washington said it was | an accident. Simms said the bottle | was thrown after a “few words.” | Washington was confined by coast, guard anthorities when news of Wilson's death was received and the local police notified. Detective John J.

He took cognizance, howe later in his fall campaign, of objections to acceptance of $125,000 in his behalf during the primary campaign from Samuel Ineull, utiliities magnate, and $45,000 from two other utilities chiefs, and declared that such con- tributions to his primary war chest ‘was no more reprehensible than con- tributions to a republican presiden- tial eampaign by beneficiaries of a protective tariff. .This, ‘his friends belleve, is the keynote of the de- fense he will make to the senate if his primary campaign fund, gath-| ered while Smith was still chairman | of the state commerce commission controlling public utiliti under fire, Named By G Chicago, Dec. 16 Smith, United States senator-elect from Illinois, has been appointed to senate scat of the late Willlam MeKin ¢ Governor Small’s action n nam- ing Col.

Demands recently made by the students e college of Yale in China, at Changsha, I province, one of the lar st institutions of its kind in central China, ve as a general indication of the movement in the missionary schools of that | province. The principal demands of the Yale in Ch students were a decr! e in | s; subsidization by the college of | students’ union; empowering of students to dismi: by vote teachers of whom they do not ap-| ve, and a provision that no stu- dent can be expelled without the sanction of the students’ union. Eighty per cent of the cost of up- |keep of the college of Yale in China already is borne by grants from America, tuition charges accounting for the other 20 per cent only. The situ on at Yale in China is d locked at present. Most sections of the student body are striking and | the faculty is unable to obtain aid | from the Cantonese authorities. i A similar situation cropped up re- | cently at the central China Teachers' colle at Wuch: where the stu dents demanded dismissal of certain | professors. An appeal by the facul- | ty to the Canton authorities elic- | ed the reply that they supported the position of the students, which they considered *perfect justified.” A meeting of the boar: istees representing various m d with the school was called nec e e S e A O e e e P, ereep—er. = One of the scintillant stars of the American Laboratory Theater's reper- tory lotte The Yo n, the t { Miss cast in N Cush origin igedienne, < is Martha Johnson (above,) a descendant of Char- whos Martha's histrionic capabilities is clear, and she fheeds statue is in the Hall of Fame. no excuse for those good looks! 1 it was decided to close the col- | 1t has remained closed since. | A few months ago the Cantonese B) ent issued orders requiring ools and other education- | fons not conducted by the | cubmit to restrictions, 't seizure as the alterna- expr d the fear would be cur I Public Scheols Close For Winter Vacation All the public schools in the city ining de ymorrow aff State de training school will also close for at the end of its final class tomor- row afternoon.

New Haven, Dec. 16 (A—A bank- ruptcy case involving $180,635 in liabilities which has been pending for several months was settled to- day when Judge Edwin S. Thomas of the United States court here granted an extension of time for the filing of a petition for discharge of Henry A. Taylor, Milford broker, who filed a petition in bankruptcy on April 11, 1925, The controversy in the courts came over the efforts of Genevi H. Elder of New York, a creditor with a claim of more than $20,000, to prevent Taylor's discharge on the grounds that the petition had not been filed within 12 months after he had been adjudicated. The decision handed down by Judge Thomas today grants Taylor an extension on the ground that he was in Florida at the time of the proceedings and had instructed his attorney to attend to the matter for him. This the attorney failed to doand the court held that this was suffi- cient excuse to allow him a con- tingance of time. There has been a long series of technical petitions and pleas before the Uniteq States court in the le- gal battle. RIVERS AND HARBORS BILL PASSAGE LIKELY Senate Ts Expected to Have This Measure Adopted By Next Tuesday. Washington, Dec. 16 (#) — The stormy atmosphere which has but- feted the rivers and harbors bill in two sessions of congress had been quicted today to such an extent that its passage by the senate by fore Tuesday was predicted. It was passed by the house at the last | session, but several differences be- tween the two chambers may have |to be adjusted. Smoothing of the way for senate action was effected last night through an agreement between contending groups of senators and representatives who have centered their fight on the Illinois river channel provision which, although | Inot the only hotly disputed feature, |had produced most of the contro- versy that has halted enactment of the $60,000,000 measure. Proponents of the project, which was placed before congress three | years ago by Representative = Wil liam E. Hull, republican, Tilinoi and has been bitterly opposed by | spokesmen for other Great Lakes ista!ns. agreed to accept an amend- | ment Introduced several days ago by Senator Willis, republican, Ohio, |to declare specifically that the pro- | vision was not to be construed as |authorizing diversion of water |from Lake Michigan. With this dispute out of the way, an carly settlement also was fndi- cated in the fight of western sen- ators against a provision requiring property owners along the Missouri {river between Kansas City and | sioux City, Towa, to share the cost of its improvement.

Mikeno, Scene of Many Exploits Nairobi, British East Africa, Dec. 16 (A—The body of Carl Ake- ley, noted American explorer, aculp- tor and inventor, has found its last resting place on Mt. Mikeno in Uganda, the scene of some of his greatest exploits as an African ex- plorer. A memorial service for Mr. Ake« ley, who died on November 17 while collecting specimens for the Amer« can Museum of Natural History, was held last night. Archdeacon Swann conducted the services which were attended by many active hunt- ers and explorers including Martin Johnson. The American consul at Nairobi also was present. It is understood that Mrs. A'ce ley, the former Miss Mary L. Jobe, who also is noted as an explorer, is continuing the work on which he was engaged when he¢ was stricken.

BILL GETS APPROVAL. | Many Senators Falling in Line With McNary Farm Mcasure. Washington, Dec. 16 (P—The care with which the new McNary bill was devised to meet the varied demands of farm relief proponents is reflecte ed in the decsiion of several cone gressmen to forego offering pro< posals of their own in order to cen< ter the fight on that measure. The bill has not, of course, res ceived unanimous assent but it is re- garded by many relief advocatés as the best compromise obtainable at this time. — — Santa’s Own Taste in Neckwear tion Bill Protecting Customs Serv- ice Agents, Washington, Dec. 16.—(— Cus- toms service men must not be drafted by the treasury for prohibi- tlon duty, the senate finance com- mittee decided today in attaching an amendment the that effect to the prohibition reorganization bill. The bill, which was approved by the committee as amended, would create separate bureaus of prohibi- tion and customs distinct from the internal revenue burcau, under which prohibition enforcement is now placed. The national association of manufacturers had expressed fear that the reorganization would per- mit the use of customs agents as prohibition men. Assistant Secretary Andrews, chief of the dry forces, informed the committee that he had no in- tention of using customs personnel as dry agents and sanctioned the change in the bill. Customs agents are used now, he d, only in en- forcing the smuggling laws related the bill, PILSUDSKI NOT ALARMED. Warsaw, Poland, Dec. 16 (P — Marshall Pilsudski, Polish premier and minister of war, is not concerned about the question of German arma- ments.
