C. OF C. MAY TAKE CREDIT BUREAU IN Secy. Benson Favors Absorption a Branch of Chamber That there is a possibility of the New Britain Credit Rating bureau being absorbed by the Chamber of Commerce, became known today when it was learned that Becretary Ralph H. Benson will propose such action to the directors of the mer- cantile board. The decision by Mr. Benson to make this proposition, was arrived at | last evening following a conference | between him and Alfred R. Hau- schulz, manager of the credit bureau. The bureau, which has been in ex- istence for several years, needs the backing of about 100 more mer- chants, according to one of the offi- cials. As a separate institution, this has not been available. As a branch service of the Chamber of Commerce it is hoped to be able to bring it up to & point where it will be of ad- vantageous service to all. Due to the heavy overhead, made necessary by maintaing the credit bureau as a separate institution, it has been found inadvisable fo con- tinue under tie present status, and at a recent meeting of the directors voted to recommend to the stock- holders that the bureau be dissolved. No date has been set for the stock- holders’ meeting. Mr. Benson, whose training has been mostly in this line of work, is an expert in directing services of benefit to the merchants. He be- lieves he can take the credit bureau into the Chamber and make it oper- ate as a part of the Chamber of Commerce actlvities on a self sup- porting and possibly a profit making basis. Credit bureaus now are maintain- ed by chambers of commerce in a good many cities, with considerable success. < While Mr. Benson has not fny definite information as to what ac- tion the mercantile directors’ will take, it is understood that the' ma- jority of them favor the prop: Mr. Hauschulz already has ed his intention of leaving the credit bureau, | | Perjury Is Increasing; Judge Sounds Warning Bridgeport, Feb. 18 (P—Perjury is increasing in the courts of Connecti- cut and it is becoming increasingly difficult to apprehend the offenders, Judge Isaac Wolfe said today in criminal superior court in sentencing to six months in jail Adam Smith, who had pleaded gullty to perjury in his suit for divorce from Mrs. Flor- ence Smith two months ago. In his testimony in the suit, heard before Judge Alfred C. Baldwin in this city, Smith said Re had no idea of the whereabout of his wife. A let- ter to Judge Baldwin, however, brought.out the information that Mrs. Smith was in a sanitarium in Poughkeepsie, Y., and that Smith knew here whereabouts. Investiga- tion by State's Attorney William H. Comley led to Smith's arrest and confession. Bar Association Favors Proposed Heavy Penalty New Haven, Feb, 18 (P—A bill now before the legislature, fixing a penalty of not more than $250 for disbarred lawyers or persons not duly members of the bar practicing law in the state was voted the sup- port of the New Haven County Bar association today at a speclal meet- ing of that body. The bill was in- troduced at the instigation of a sp cial committee of the county #ur and is said to have come through the results of an investigation by the committee. Strong protest against any legisla- tion that would increase the costs| taxable in civil legislation was voic- ed by Charles S. Hamilton, dean of the County Bar association when a | vote was called for on the matter of supporting the proposed increase in judiciary fees from $6 to $25. | Just Out of Jail, He Is 1 Sent Back for 6 Months Bridgeport, Feb. 18 (A—Released from jail 3 few days ago after serv- ing 48 days of a 60-day sentence for violation of the liquor laws imposed in Norwalk city court together with a fine of $400 and costs, Philip Gug- lielmo of Norwalk appeared today before Judge Isaac Wolte in criminal superior court and received a sen- tence of six months in jall and a fine of $350 and costs as a second of- fender on the same charge on three counts. He pleaded guilty. Guglielmo was arrested in a rald by state police in Norwalk Novem- ber 17, and released on bond. While at liberty awaiting arraignment, he was again arrested, this time by Norwalk officers and sentenced to jail. Five Arraigned for Slot Machine Thefts Waterbury, Feb. 18 (®—Five men ranging in ages from 21 to 29, who had made off, with four slot ma- cpines during the night after repre- senting themselves to the owners of the stores they visited as policemen, were arraigned in city court this morning on charges of theft. Their cases were continued to Monday, under bonds of $100 each. Police here have been conducting a drastic, drive on slot machines during the past few weeks, and more than fifty have so far been seized. J. G. HAMMOND RESIGNS New London, Feb. 18 (P—James| G. Hammond, for the past ten years secretary manager of, the local chamber of commerce and one of | the best known secretaries in the! state today announced his rusigu:t-} tion. Mr. Hammond will enter the | commercial fleld in this city. He will be succeeded by George H.| Geriepy, of Pawtucket, R, I. APPOINTED BY LEAGUE Geneva, Switzerland, Feb. 18 (P— Dr. Alice Hamilton of Harvard Medical school, and Dr. C. E. A. Winslow of Yale Medical school, have been appointed expert advisers to the health committea of the League of Nations. JOHN COOLIDGE SIGNS LOCAL BAND'S GONTRACT Son of President Adds “Thank You,” to Document Forwarded to Bacchanalian Orchestra. A contract, signed by John Cool- dge, son of the president of the nited States, has been received by George Olcott, leader of the Trinity Bacchanalian orchestra of this city, confirming the engagement of the dance band for the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity house party at Am- herst within a few weeks. Mr. Coolidge is chairman of the com- mittee in charge and the business- like document was given a distinct personal touch by the fact that the signature of the son of the nation's prvsldent was followed by a “Thank you.” VETO RUMOR UNFOUNDED Mayor Weld Signs Resolution on Fire Board Inquiry But Keeps It Until Committee Is Named. The fact that Mayor Weld did not return to City Clerk A. L. Thompson the resolution adopted by the common council Wednesday night to provide a committee to investigate recent flre department appointments, gave rise to a rumor that he had vetoed the measure. but it was found later that it is signed but had been held bagk un- til the committee is selected. A committee of three will probe the appointment of two men who have become 35 years of age and the claim that Corporation Counsel John H. Kirkham’'s ruling in the case was inconsistent with one he made last year. Printing City Directory With View to Accuracy Replying to a communication from the Chamber of Commerce asking why the 1927 directory has not yet made its appearance in New Britain, the Price & Jee Co., pub- lishers, has written a letter of ex- planation to Secretary Benson. The letter explains that owing to a spe rt being made to make | 3 b 5 | demonstration and go to their dor-| an accurate canvass of New Britain, the delay was necessary. No da was given as to when the directory will be completed. Several months prior to Mr. Ben- son's coming to the city, the Cham- ber of Commerce’ complained that several thousand names were mise- ing from the directory, according to |, a post office census. It is with an| effort to get all these names that especial attention is being paid to the city this year, Mr. Benson be- licves. “However”, he adds, is “if 1t golng to take two months longer, | were certainly are entitled to ex- treme accuracy if we must get our directory four months late."” Objection Dismissed by Bankruptcy Referee | Bridgeport, Feb. 18 (#—Referee in Bankruptcy John Keogh in a memorandum of decision today dis- missed the objection of . Attorne: Clifford B. Wilson, trustee of the bankrupt Nationa! Grain company, of this city against a elaim of the Maryland Guaranty company of Baltimore for $117,134:49. Attorney Wilson contended the Maryland company’s claim was un-‘ lawful inasmuch as it arose out of usurious transactions with the local company. A rate of 17 and 18 per cent charged the National Grain for moneys loaned, was unlawful, Attor- ney Wilson stated in his objection. In his decision Judge Keogh finds that the collection of interest at a rate so high as to be usurious in this state is not usurlous under the laws of Delaware, where the Mary- land Guaranty company was incor- porated, under the laws of Mary- land where its principal placs of business was located, or under the laws of New York and New Jersey where the notes were made vnyable Dr. Moriarity Freed on Bonds of $1,500 Today Hartford, Feb. 18 (P — After spending only a few hours in jail here, Dr. Howard H. Mortarity, ar. rested in New Britain early yester- day morning by the state police on the charge of practicing medicine in this state without a license, was freed late yesterday afternoon when the bond of $1,500 under which his case was continued in the Hartford police court fintil February 24, was furnished by Andrew J. Johnson of Howard street, New Britain. Dr. Morfarity is said to have se- cured about thirty patients in Hart- ford county by promising to cure them of cancer. An analysis of his alleged “cure” being made for the state police department has not yet been completed and pending that, authorities declared, further action by them in the case is béing with- held. CIVIL SUITS RECORDED Suit for $125 damages has been instituted by Harry Glannone agalnst Sam Balfore, secking to col- lect money due, The writ is return- able in the city court the second Monday of March and Greenstein & LeWitt represents the plaintiff. Con- stable John S. Recor served the papers. A lis pendes action has been filed ! at the office of the town clerk in the foreclosure action of Joseph| Hooper and others against Mary Toplyn and others. JUDGMENT FOR DEFENDANT Judgment for the defendant has been rendered by Judge William C. Hungerford of the city court in the| action of Charles Brown against Joscph Mischlman. The sult was| for $100 damagoes and grew out of a claim by the plaintiff that the de- fendant had agreed to purchase two automobile tires and two tubes, which the defendant denied.
