S-JAP PACT IS LIKELY Despite Ofticial Denials, Indications Are That Two Countries May Join In & Perpetual Peace Agreement. Geneva, Switzerland, June 25 (A — Hugh 8. Gibson, chief American dele- gate, replied indirectly today to a statement coming from British circles that the tonnage of war craft scrapped by Great Britain since the war was probably three times that scrapped by the United States. Alluding to the fact that the United States at the Washington con- ference voluntarily surrendered her supremacy in battleships, he declared she had committed herself to the scrapping of 531,000 tons of ships well under construction, and 15 old battleships with a tonnage of about 228,000, This commitment, he explained, was actually carried out, and should be compared with the total tonnage of rrojected battleships and 19 old warships—411,000 tons in all—actu- ally scrapped by Great Britain. U. S. Attitude Seen Information from the American delegation indicates prevalence of & belief that any agreement to reduce the size of cruisers from 10,000 tons, as desired by' Great Britain, would be another surrender on a type of warship which the Americans hold necessary in their national defense; hence their determination to make no concessions on this point. It is also remarked that Great Britain, with the Nelson and Rod- ney, each of 35,000 tons, has two more powerful capital ships than the American navy—vessels which em- body the lessons taught by the battle of Jutland. Thus, accéptance of the British proposal to cut the tonnage of battleships to 34,000 would leave America in a distinctly inferior po- sition as regards this type of war craft Deadlock Continues The ‘deadlock continues on the great problem of the conference, namely whether the decisions taken | at Washington in 19 are subject to reconsideration here. Apparently nothing important can be achieved until this question is decided one way or another. Groups of experts met today to study the technical aspects of the limitation of cruisers, submarines and destroyers, but anything they do concerning * cruisers at least, may be thrown overboard later, as this hinges upon how the main po- litical problem of the conference is regulated. The most reliable opinion here is that the "American delegation pre- fers to go home without any agree- ment than to reach one which would involve the entire remodel- ling of the Washington treaty or one placing total tonnage figures for auxiliary warcraft so high that there would be no limitation at all but merely an invitation for in- creased armament competition. Geneva, Switzerland, June 25 (#) —Overtures by Japan with a view to the signing of a perpetual peace pact with the United States are looked for in authoritative circles of the tri-partite naval conference.

YALE FOOTBALL STAR MARRIED $IX MONTHS “Doc” McGunigle’s Wed- ding Announced at Stur- hahn Bridal Dinner New Haven, Conn., June 25.—Yale proved no more impervious against Doughty “Doc” McGunigle, football star, than did Dartmouth. Nor was the surprise of the “Big Green” any greater last fall when, with Mc- Gunigle starring, the Blue defeated its rival from the New Hampshire hills, than was the surprise of Yale | when it learned yesterday that “Doc” had been married since December 31 of last year to Miss Adeline Eliza- beth Sinsabaugh of Shelton, Conn. Rupert Bloomfield McGunigle, 21, of Winthrop, Mass., received the de- | gree of bachelor of science from Yale Tuesday, and yesterday his six | months old marriage was announced. All Yale and McGunigle's other ! friends understood that it was only the secrecy which shrouded the| marriage which allowed the star to complete his course in the Sheffleld | Scientific school. Marriage of a Yale undergraduate carries with it, auto- matically, dropping from member- ship In the student body if the stu- dent does not voluntarily leave. McGunigle is a member of the Cloister club, the Book and Snake society and Torch Honor society. He prepared at Hotchkiss. Mrs. Mec- Gunigle, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Newton Sinsabaugh of Shelton, is a graduate of Smith college. The marriage was in Millerton, N. Y., the last day of 1926. Announce- ment was made yesterday in Wash- ingten, D. C., at the bridal dinner of Miss Etienne Lawrence, daughter of David Lawrence, noted journalist, and Mrs. Lawrence. The marriag of Miss Lawrence to ‘“Cobbles' Sturhahn of Hartford, Conn., 1927 Yale graduate and twice All-Ameri- can football guard, was to take place A& Washington. MRS. SAMUEL MAGSON RECALLS DEPARTURE OF TROOPS IN 1898 Col. Bullen Describes Mo- bilization and Soldiers’ Leave Taking The days in 1898 when the three New Britain companies left to fight the Spaniards and the day on which they returned after a grim battle, not with foreign troops but with typhoid fever, will be recalled by many a veteran of the Spanish- American war when the memorial to the veterans of that conflict is dedi- cated this afternoon. To none will these memories be more vivid than to Col. W. W. Bullen, the marshal of the parade, for he had almost as hard a struggle to serve under his country's flag as did any of the Cuban campaigners to capture San Juan hill. He had retired as captain of Co. E on February 15, 1898, and then on lid.ch 1 came the startling news of the sinking of ‘the AMaine in Havana harbor. War was declared on April 21 and, when the local National Guard companies were ac- cepted for war service he attempted to enlist as a private. He was re- buffed, the examining physician teling him that he was physically unsound. Patriot Bullen then offered to box or run any man in the outfit and for two weeks he paid his own expenses at the training camp, then prevailed upon the doctors to accept him. He has a grim sort of satisfaction in knowing that he has far outlived the doctor who pro- nounced him physically unfit. The days before and during the war were described in graphic fashion by Colonel Bullen to a Herald reporter. The colonel of the regiment offered the services of his men to the government for active duty and immediately set about making his troops ready. Mobiliza- tion tests were held frequently fol- lowing the war declaration on April 21. A telephone call ordering mo- bilization would be received and every effort would be made to have the men assemble at the armory and be ready in fighting trim in the shortest time possible. Some com- panies were able to do this in an hour; the local companies’ best time was an hour and 30 minutes. The companies were recruited up to war strength, 18 men responding on the first day after Major M. C. Web- ster’s call for volunteers. The First regiment was selected by the war department for active service and was ordered to entrain for Niantic on May 4. Colonel Bull- en’s recollections of that day are rather hazy, because he set himself the task of caring for the boys® lug- gage and was busy driving back and forth to the station. He says that he does not belleve there was any particular senc-off except a band at the head of the march to the sta- tion, but the files of the Herald show that his memory plays him false. Lieutenant.Colonel A. L. Thomp- son was marshal of the parade which marched from the armory to the station and the mayor and com- { mon council, several ex-mayors, and the selcctmen headed the procession which was witnessed by almost every citizen of New Britain. Stan- ley Post, G. A. R., helped send off its sons, and the Putnam Phalanx came down from Hartford just as it is doing today. The Tabs, Fores- ters, Vega society, O. U. A. M, K. of G. E., employes of the Malleable Iron Works, school children, Turner society, fire department, and plain citizens joined in the line of march, with music furnished by the American and Philharmonic bands. At the rear came Co. T under Cap- tain C. H. Moore, Co. E under Captain A. I. Hauerwas, and Co. D under Captain S. M. Leonard. The first two will be present this after- noon, but Captain Leonard is dead. The boys went from here to Hartford, where there was another big procession. Then they entrain- ed for camp at Niantle, where they arirved at 6 o'clock just as it began to rain. The rain continued for three weeks without cessation. Colonel Bullen says, and _the men were poorly equipped. They lacked prop- er tentage, they had only heavy witter clothirg. and they used old (Continued on Page 12) LIEUT. GOV. J. E.

Gangsters New York, June 25 (A—Downing street, battle ground a decade ago ! of the notorious Hudson Duster gang, was the scene early today of two Kkillings. The bodies of the two men, each with three builet wounds, and lying in pools of blood were found by a passerhy. Police belleve the men were fired upon from a passing automobile. The men were identified as Frank Russo, 80, and J. Blanco, 28, both of Brooklyn. Russo was dead when police arrived and Blanco died two hours later in a hospital.

Decision of Judge Thomas J. Mal- filed today that Building Inspector A. N. Ruthertord is not required to | issue permits to Julia M. Azukas to build two-tenement houses on Winthrop street, will be appealed to the supreme court of Connecticut, Atorney L. J. Golon, counsel for | Mrs. Azukus said. The Azukus case came before Judge Malloy on application of At- torney Golon for an order of the court to compel Rutherford to issue the permits. The buildings cn- form with existing zoning regula- tions, but an appeal has been made to place the area ‘n a zone of great- er restriction. Inspector Rutherford, through Attorneys M. H. Camp and Margaret Perkins of the corporation counsel's office, claimed he had a right to withhold a permit during the pendency of the appeal. Judge Malloy declared a manda- ! mus might have issued had Mrs. Azukas first gone to the board of adjustment and he adds that this; procedure is not mandatory. Attor- ney Golon's claim that a question of ask the board of adjustment to change an existing regulation since the zoning now in effect is what his client desired, is not specifically cov- ered. The judge's statement that a mandamus might have issued had | an appeal been taken to %he board is considered to be in effect a ruling that the pendency of an action for zone change does not empower the | inspector to withhold permits for/ ing rules. BIG BREWERY RAID BY ELM CITY DRY AGENTS Still With 5,000 Galion Ca- | pacity Found, Valued | at $40,000 1 | New Haven, June 25 (#—Raiding the rear of a one story brick build- ing at 685 Oak street, used by the Clark-Barone company as an office and garage, a prohibition squad last night seized what authorities claim to be the largest and most cleverly disguised beer brewing plant in New Haven. Aside from much beer in brew and ready for distribution, equip- ment of the place included seven large vats of approximately. 5,000 gallons capacity each, complete am- monia cooling system, barreling me- chanism and machinery used for ‘“‘cooking’ the malt mixture under forced heat. The plant was valued at from $30,000 to $45,000. Later Richard L. Fox, giving his occupation as a clerk and bottler, surrendered . to the police as the| claimed lessee of the two rear rooms in which the plant was discovered. He was held in bonds of $2,600 charged with violation of the Vol- | stead act. Officlals of the Clark-Barone com- pany professed ignorance of what use was being made of the two rear rooms of their building and produc- ed a least that is claimed to have been made out to Fox. The plant is believed to have been in operation for six months. STEAL $6,200 PAYROLL Cracksmen Break Into Philadclphia Company’s Offices and Blow Doors 1 From Safe.

New York, June 25 () — The weather man, unofficial starter for Commander Richard E. Byrd's projected flight to Paris, held the glant tri-motored Fokker mono- plane America at its mark today, with every possibility that it would not take off before Sunday or Mon- day. Weather conditions between New York and Newfoundland are still unsettled, Dr. James H. Kimball, head of the weather bureau, in- formed Commander Byrd last night. As soon as the weather man re- ports favorable conditions, the monoplane can be made ready for the flight within a short time, Com- mander Byrd said. Commander Byrd said he was not waiting for ideal weather, nor did he expect it. “If 1 were alone,” he added, “I should probably hop off, but I have a crew to think of and also I must think of the good of aviation. We will go oft when the weather man says ‘Go."" If Commander Byrd wings his way to Paris within the next 36 hours, he will be able to radio nearly a dozen ships, which will be in the steamer lanes, Herbert W. Sussman, farmer navigating officer of the Leviathan, reported. 'SEX EXPERIMENTS ARE | zoning is involved since he could not | BRANDED AS DAMNABLE Bishop Manning Gives Scathing Condemnation to Unmarried Unions New York, June 25 (A—A part- ing judgment that advocacy of “unmarried unions” and “sex ex- periments” is not only shameful but damnable—a sin against God,” was left today by Bishop Willlam T. Manning, bound for Europe en the White Star liner Majestic. A sweeping attack on ‘compan- ionate marriages,” ‘sex question naires,” and the “divorce mills” of Paris and Reno was contained in a statement issued by the bishop be- fore he sailed with his elder daugn- ter, Francis, to attend the 1,300th anniversary of the York cathedral and to visit Lausanne, Switzerland. Referring to ‘“‘companionate mar- rlages,” the bishop said “If I thought that the church would listen with ‘open mind’ to such a proposal as this I would not lift another finger for the building of St. John's cathedral or for any other cause in the church.” Sanctioning of ‘*companionate marriages” was mentloned for con- slderation at a recent conference of the Episcopal church in San Francisco. Its consideration, he said, “is also being commended by not a few professors in our universities.” He said he recently had been shown *a questionnaire sent out by a male professor to the young women of one of our best known women's colleges, in which not only is the so-called ‘companionate marriage’ definitely suggested but the questions asked of these girls are of such a nature that it would be improper for me to quote them here.” He sald another girl had written him that she has been as- signed “Companionate Marriage” as a toplc for a soclology class paper. “With the divorce mill running as it is in Paris, Reno and elsewhere to break down the sanctity of mar- riage and with the sanction of ‘un- married unions' now openly sug- gested,” the bishop asserted, “it is time for us to consider where this is leading us.” HONEYMOONER DROWNED Chicago Man Loses Life While Try- ing to Rescue Three Girls, Two of Whom Also Drowned. Fox Lake, Wis., June 25 (®—Ed- win Jobschke, 32, of Chicago, who was spending his honcymoon here, was drowned last night in an unsuc- cessful effort to rescue three girls, two of whom also were drowned when their skiff overturned in Fox lake. - The third girl was rescued by Job- schke’s companion, Victory Parchen of Chicago.

ALSO Commander Is Taking Numerous Present For All Children Living Labrador Coast—Has Eskimo Interpreter, Wiscasset, Maine, June 25 (#— Optimism ran high among members of the Rawson-MacMillan-Field Mu- seum expedition to the Arctic today as preparations were made to weigh anchors of the little fleet that is to carry 12 sclentists on a fifteen months’ trip to the interiors of La- brador and Greenland. Lieutenant Commander Donald B. MacMillan who was starting his eleventh voyage into the frozen north, declared his bellet that the complete series of meterological in- vestigations which the expedition is to undertake would prove of the greatest value to aviation, particu- larly trans-Atlantic flying. He also expressed the belief that the study of tunic ruins which is to be undertaken under direction of Dr. Duncan Strong of Chicago, an- thropologist for the Field Mu- seum, might solve the secret of the strange race reputed to have settled among the Eskimos hundreds of years ago. Presents For All One of the features of the trip, MacMillan revealed today, was the fact that the three vessels are car- rying Christmas presents for every child on the desolate Labrador coast. Candy, toys, dolls and the other appurtenances of Christmas in this country will replace the usual raw j turnip as festive delights. The car- go of holiday presents will be dis- tributed as the flotilla proceeds to- ward Kauk, where the first perma- nent scientific station in the far north is to be established. Kauk is to be the base of MacMillan's oper- ations. Another feature of the trip Is to! !be a call at Hopedale, the Moravian Eskimo mission village of 300 souls established on the bleak | peninsula 162 years ago. The ex- | plorer will present to Rev. Willlam Walter Perritt, head of the missior, $1,000 collected in voluntary con- | tributions during his lecture tour last winter. The Moravian mission is a part of the work of a denomi- nation which has its head in this country at Bethlehem, Pa. The village has never seen such a fund, Commander MacMillan sald, explaining that $50 was suf- ficient to educate a child for an entire three year course there. Data Important Discussing the helpfulness of the arctic meterological data to the trans-Atlantic flier, the explorer said, “This is the very thing that Lieutenant Commander Byrd is waiting to obtain from weather of- ficials and ships at sea to determine ! whether he can fly to Europe. The aviator depends so much on atmos- pheric conditions that the value of | this station which we will con- struct at Kauk ought to be great.” MacMillan recalled that Byrd had his first arctic flying experience as a member of the 1925 expedition with the schooner Bowdoin and the steamer Perry a year before he made his successful flight to the north pole and return. Special study Is to be undertaken of the Tunic ruins which are to be | found up and down the Labrador coast and which, according to Es- kimo legend, are the remains of | houses built by a curious race which came to the shores in open boats without decks or sails. The remnants of the structures which still stand resemble the Norse ruins in Greenland. “If we can get good evidence that they are the homes of Norse- men, then we have real grounds for belleving America was discov- cred at least 300 years before Co- lumbus came across,” declared the arctic adventurer, “Volumes have been written EndK many places on the coast of the | United States claim the honor of having been visited by the Norse, but as far as we know there is not a single bit of evidence that is au-| thoritative. I believe we are going | to find something in Labrador lh:\t; will shed light on the Tunic race.” Has Eskimo Interpreter One of the party is Abraham jBromfield, whose home is in Jack Lane's bay, 180 miles south of| Kauk, who is the party's official mo interpreter.

Mrs. Bertha Bobawicz, who lives in another tenement at the same ade dress, told Sergeant Thomas J, Teeney that she heard a noise as if someone was knocking on the side of the house, and on going into the yard to investigate, she found Sczyk lying in the driveway and complaine ing of his back. She called Stanley Sumolski, who notifled Officer Thomas Lee and the latter tele« phoned to Lieutenant Matthias Rival at headquarters. Officers Michael Brophy and G. W.

Argonne, bringing these men home, returns to Nicaragua, she will take aboard a second group of 440 officers and men if conditions in Nicaragua are favorable. They will go to San Diego, Calif. If peaceful conditions prevail when the Argonne returns again to Nicaragua, a third force will be embarked, 640 officers and men, to g0 to Haiti and Quantico. It is probable the 1,500 left in Nicaragua, or a large part of them, will stay there until after the elecs tion in 1929.
