Babula and Bogdanski were taken back to Terryville by Sheriff Buck- ley for questioning. If connected with the deserted car, it is probable that their cases will be heard in the Ter- ryville town court tonight. That the automobile used by Ba- bula and Bogdanski was taken with- out the owner's permission is claim- ed by Mr. and Mrs. Antonio Varnello of 126 High street, who told Sergeant 126 High street, P. J. O'Mara today they knew noth- Ing of the case. Mrs. Varnello's maiden name was Concetta Pavano, which accounts for the registration of the car. At the garage in which the car is kept, the police learned that Babula has driven {t considerably of late. Officer Alfred Tanguay told Sergeant Rival that Joseph Pavano has been driving & car corresponding in de- scription to that found in Terryville, and Officer David Doty said he saw Babula drive through Maln street last night in a car resembling the one in question. Sergeant Rival received the tele- phone notification of the finding of the car about 1 o'clock this morn- ing, from Sheriff Buekley of Terry- ville, and about two hours later, the Bristol police sent word that the local young men were under arrest. Judge Willlam F. Mangan of this city was called by Babula and Bog- danski and went to Terryville to pre- pare their defense. Arrangements for thelr release made this afternoon. Bogdanski and and Babula are well known in police BUDGET OF 7300 FOR AMUSEMENTS Commission Asks $1,000 More!

The report states that there were 82 familles served, 94 children were ‘:l\en medical or dental treatment {and 92 were given shoes or clothing. The report continues: A special word of appreclation | must be given to Dr. R. W, Pullen, health superintendent, Dr. Sidney {N.

The attendance has not been as large this year due to the dullness of shops and factorles where the mothers are employed. In addition to the daily routine, carefully |planned and carried out—at the close of the day the mothers of the {little tots are given the opportunity to talk over their problems and re- | | of them. Sometimes these talks are { supplemented by home visits, The nursery aims to develop the child: Physically, through a well bal- anced meal. Morally, in the developing of clean personal habits, Socially, in learning to respect the rights of others and to work in i groups harmoniously. Spiritually, in the recognition through daily prayer that all good gifts come from God. In other words, the nursery more than a place to mother or daddy works, We want it to be a cozy home, where the | parent may be sure to help and | sympathetic understanding at all [times and where ths children | through happy hours and play may llecarn the fundamental principles necessary to become in the future usetul and successful citizens, In concluding this short sum- | of our ycar's work, owing to the lack of space all donations can- not be listed.

PRICES RALLYING ON STOCK MARKET Pressure Lifted and Stocks at Once Rebonnd New York, Jan. 26 (A — Selling pressure was lifted from today's stock market and prices rallied briskly on heavy buying for both accounts. The sudden change In speculative sentiment was due largely to the publication of an ex- ceptionally favorable quarterly earnings report by the U. S. Steel corporation, and the increasing in- dications of a prolonged period of easy money rates. The brisk manner in which a number of stocks were bid up in- dicated that the floating supply had been materfally reduced by the | absorption by strong interests on the recent break. Pools resumed aggressive operations in a number of issues, Columbla Carbon, Loews, and Erie, * first preferred, being marked up to the highest prices in years, | Chesapeake & Ohlo, which was | weak yesterday on rumors of new financing in connection with Van rallied 4 points, coincident with the resump- tion of conferences arranged in the | hope of compormising the differ- ences between the Cleveland capi- talists and the minority stockhold- ers’ committee, Substantial recov- eries algo were made by a number of other recent weak spots in the railroad group. The recent improvement in the textile industry was reflected in the opening of the fall staple serge and overcoating lines on the American ‘Woolen Co. at prices 3 1-2 to 7 1-2 cents a yard above the spring levels. Directors of the Childs Co., operating a chain of restaurants, declared a stock dividend of 4 per cent, payable in four instalments The weekly steel trade reviews re. ported increased bookings of steel, but also called attention to a fur- ther recession in prices.

WALLS INSECURE ON THO APARTHENTS Houses on West Main Strest Are Under Scrutiny Building department authorities were reported this afternoon to be ! looking askance at the walls of two West Main street apartment build- ings near the ome from which a threatened collapse last year drove six families in speedy exit. Comment on the report was de- clined this afternoon by Building Inspector A. N. Rutherford, who de- clared he will make no statement whatsoever. The bulldings sald to be under suspicion were erected by Gozzo & La Rocco and later were sold to Baggish & Ackerman of Hartford. Transfers made during the past year are said to have carried guarantees, and the new owners are the com- plainants, it is understood. Inspec- tor Rutherford told the building de- partment Monday night He antic pates being called into court as a witness in a civil case involving the condemnation of buildings sold un- der a guarantee last year. Inspector Rutherford was asked at that time for further information, but he flat- ly refused, declaring it is not a mat- ter of public business in its present status. W. H. M. DEPT.
