- BOY S SUBJECT OFROTARY TALKS Superintendent Skinner of Boys’ Club Tells of Work The boy is the community’s great- est asset according to members of the boys' work committee of the New Britain Rotary club, The com- mittee had charge of the noon luncheon today and “Boy” was the subject under discussion. Fred O. Rackliffe, past president and former chairman of the boys' work committee, was the first speaker. Mr. Rackliffe spoke of the tendency on the part of boys to make heroes out of men who hold prominent positions in the commun- | ity and asked that Rotarians take a greater interest in boys. He recom- mended that each member, especial- ly members who have no sons of their own, pick out some individual boy and take an interest in his ac- tivities. He referred to the Rotary club’s “Back to School Movement” two years ago and said the commit- tee this year expects to put on a larger campaign of the same kind. Dwight Skinner, superintendent of the New Britain Boys' club, spoke of the Rotary club baseball league. He said the club is spending $500 a year to give 120 local boys organ- ized baseball with what it can teach them of ethics and sportsmanship and the members should attend more games to see what they get for their money. He said it means a lot to these boys to pick up a copy of a local newspaper and see their names in box score the next night. Many of the boys are clipping these scores and saving them, he said. He spoke of the Boys' club and said it has a wide fleld in which to | work because it draws all its mem- bership from the ranks of the under- privileged. In this way he explained the club takes boys from alleys and back streets and gives them wholesome training and recreation in the w: they like it, yet keeps them fron following & road which eventually ! leads to juvenile court. One of the big problems he said was teaching boys to be honest and truthful but the club s succeeding in this work. If a boy breaks a window, he goes at once to the of- fice and reports it. He is told “Bet- ter a little more careful next time. Then he is given tools and materials and told to go ahead and fix it The boys also are taught the theory of service in a practical man- ner. They take carec of all the ashes, sweeping, cleaning, ete., so that the club does not need to hire a jani- tor. Educationally the club has class- es in radio, woodworking. printing, chair caning and other things. It also has a fife and drum corps which two years ago took second prize at the Eastern States exposition and this year expects to take first prize. Socially the club has a “ladies’ auxillary” of 90 leading women, who look after dances, parties and other functions. This, Mr. Skinner explained, was so that the older boys can have a good time with their girl friends under wholesome and clean surroundings. Among those present was Paul Sessions, president of the newly or- ganizad Bristol club. Mr. Sessions invited the local club to attend and participate in Bristol's charter night, September 8. Boston Bomber Suspect Is Liberated Today New York, Aug. 11 (P—Joseph Zucker, who had been held on suspicion of being implicated in a possible plot to bomb Boston tranait lines, was discharged when arraign- ed today. Zucker, whose real name, police saild, was Baker, was arrested on information given by Catherine Boy- lan, show girl. She told police Zucker had telephoned her in Bo: | ton to beware of riding in the ele- bombed. Zucker maintained the telephone conversation was “all a joke.” The | magistrate said no evidence to sup- port the charge against Zucker was | submitted and Boston police wired that he was not wanted there. TILDEN SMASHES WAY TOVICTORY Now Expected to Play Through Tournament T. Tilden swept {semi-finals of the Meadow club’s in- vitation tennis tournament today by defeating Wilmer Allison of Fort Worth, T the natonal intercol- legiate champion, in the first of the quarter final matches. The scores were 6-4, 6-2. Tilden's opponent in the semi- finals will be Jacques Brugnon of | the French Davis cup team who won | from Lewis N. White, of Austin, | Tex., the sixth ranking star, at 6-4, 6-3. In the lower half of the draw, George Lott of Chicago, qualified for the semi-finals by refeating John Doeg of Santa Monica, Cal., 6-4, 6-4. \’ Tilden and Rene Lacoste, French | ace, who was paired today with Dr. | Carl Fisher of Philadelphia, both re expected to play through the ournament and meet in the final, if here is no upset, in spite of reports | that either or both might default. | Lacoste compléted the semi-final | bracket by taking the measure of Dr. Fischer in two straight but stubbornly contested sets. Although Tilden declined to com- mit himself as to his program to- day, his friends understood that he | had decided to play through the tournament. They pointed out that {the American ace would subject | himselt to criticism, whatever his motive, should he withdraw from a | tourney in which two of his leading French rivals were involved. Critics held the opinion that Tilden’s form within the past few days has been much more impressive than that of Lacoste, who apparently is slowly acclimating himsel.t Today while Lacote was extended Fischer, the southpaw Philadel- phian, “Big Bill” himself had & comparatively easy time disposing of the Texas college star, Allison. MARRIAGE INTENTIONS Marriage intentions were filed at the office of the town clerk today as follows: Franciszek Superson of {51 Franklin street and Agnes Pen- |kala of 18 Dwight street; Josepu Barrillaro of 315 Main street and i Mildred Doyer of 93 Lake street. “Toes up~Dead” It DoEsn’t KILL just some of them—Black Flag kills every fly, mosquito, and roach in your home.

Two of the injured are women. Thus far the police have no clue to the authors of the outrage. The staticn is a mass of ruins.

London Peaceful London, Aug. 11 (#—All was quiet this morning, after an exciting night when news reached London that a respite had been granted to Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzettl.

Scize “Red” Papers ing package, plunged |« XEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, THURSDAY, AUGUST 11, 1927. Boston, Aug. 11 (P—Six Yonkers, N. Y., men were being -held by po- lice here as suspiclous persons fol- lowing a raid on the Hotel Royal early today which resulted in the seizure of Sacco-Vanzetti literature. They are Phillip Columbo, David Riskin, Antonio Cellierino, Orlando Gelduco, Salvatore Fracull and Louis |Bove. Police said that they would also question the men concerning the New York subway bombing, al- though they had no evidence to con- nect them with it. “Enough of Hysteria” The first afternoon papers to com- ment on the respite, Liberte and In- | transigeant, both conservatives, take a somewhat different viewpoint. “Enough of hysteria,” is Liberte's caption over its leading editorial which severely criticizes the French press campaign in favor of the two condemned men. “The campaign in favor of Sacco and Vanzettl by the ‘French’ press of the extreme left has been simply abominable,” says the editorial, declaring that average Frenchman simply shrugged his shoulders before this excess of furi- ous pity. “Are there no laws in our code to punish such incitement to murder, ally when the inviters are asked the paper, refer- ring to recent editorials in the com- munist organ Humanite, written by the ‘parliamentarians Vaillant-Cou- turier and Marcel Cachin. “The Sacco-Vanzetti affair s per- haps unfortunate for America,” the paper concludes. “We assure you it is equally unfortunate for France. When one secks alliances, when one hes credit, when one desires ce, one ought not to exhibit cries ria in the face of the entire “World is Relieved” The Tntransigeant takes a milder | tone and while agrecing that the re- spite given the condemnedmen will | give relief to the whole world, | chides those who too lustily demand- | od pardons.
