Quigley Because household scwage has a high alkaline content which is cap- able of offsetting the acids placed in the mains by industrial plants, it should not be necessary that facto- ries remove acids from the sewage. S. Rowland, president of the nley Chemical Co., and consulting chemist for the Stunley Works told members of the Lions club at their noonday luncheon today. Mr. Rowland presented the facto- ries side of sewerage question re- cently raised by ex-Mayor George A. Quigley who contends that New Bri- tain's problem lies in the disposal of industrial wastes and acids. Quis argues that sewage coming from factories prevents efficient disposal Iy the city, while Rowland counters with the claim that household wistes because of the alkaline make for thorough disposition of the acids. rhe speaker told in detail of the operation of the phant hy means of which the Stanley Works extracts sulphuric acid from the sewage.

East Milton, Mass.,, Aug. 16 (#— An explosion believed by the police |to have been caused by a bomb equipped with a time fuse wrecked the home of Lewis McHardy, a juror in the Sacco-Vanzetti trial seven | years ago, here early today. McHardy, his wife, and three grown children who were blown from their beds by the force of the | blast, narrowly escaped death. All | five euffered cuts and bruises and | Mrs. McHardy was thought to have fiered from concéussion. She was trapped in her room on the second floor of the two and one- half story wooden house. Police res- cued her. Her husband was able to work his way from the ruins and his two sons, Jack g§d Theodore, carried their sister, Hlen, from her room. The family was cared for at the home of a neighbor. Windows Smashed Mile Off Windows were blown from houses |a mile away by the explosion and nearby trees were stripped of their leaves. With the exception of the | rear wall of the McHardy home the sides of the house were blown out. The granite foundation was cracked, | the front fiazza torn oft and a bulk- |head was blown out of the back of | the house. A line of police was thrown about the wrecked house and an investi- gation started immediately by state police. Guards were dispatched to the homes of three other jurors who live in the vicinity. Find Timing Device A search of the ruins revealed what appeared to have been the |base of a Japanese lantern which | police believe may have been used in the timing device. It held a | socket for a candle which the police |said might have becn ' connected with & fuse to the bomb. . Another angle of tlie investigation centered on the death, two weeks ago, of a dog owned by the Me- Hardys. The dog was run over under suspicious clrcumstances which have ssumed a certain importance in the present investigation, The explosive was placed under | the northeast corner of the house | near the front door. The detonation |of the charge blew a hole 20 feet| deep in the earth. The blast occur- red at 3:30. At 3 o'clock the police whose beat passed the McHardy house, rang in his box about 300 yards away.

Dublin, Ireland, Aug. 16 (A—Cap- tain William Redmond, leader of the National League deputies in the Dail Eireann, announced at today's ses- sion that his party would vote for the labor motion of no confidence in the Cosgrave government, “This virtually assures the defeat of the government, as the National Leaguers, since the seating of Famon De Valera’s Fianna Fail deputies, hold the balance of power. Rain swept the streets at about the session hour, and the crowd out- | side was of slim proportions. Frederick A. Sterling, American minister and his secretary, with Consul-General Charles M. Hath- away Jr,, were early arrivals. Women pickets patrolled the streets for the Sinn Fein carrying sandwich boards bearing the union jack, with the inscription: *This is not the union jack, but only an empty formula.” Willlam T. Cosgrave, president of the executive council, accompanied by all his ministers, entered the Dail at three o'clock. After brief ques- tions, Tom Johnson rose to move no copfidence in the government. The motion, he said, was intended to test whether the present council should continue in office. Labor, he continued, had often moved ar.d been defeated on similar motions. In the matter of unem- ployment, the executive had not used its powers in the public interest. Much poverty might be removed, he said. STAMFORD MAN WOULD CUT FRENCH WAR DEBT Author Says America Owes Even More Than This te France Willlamstown, Mass., Aug. 16.—(®) —Cancellationists vigorously attac! ed the Infer-allied debt settlements | at a general conference of the insti- | tute of politics today, advocating everything from reducing by two billion dollars the French debt to unqualified and tion of all debts, William T. Hornaday, naturalist and author of Stagford, Conn., urg- ed reduction of the French debt by | two billions, and automatically halving the interest rate. America owed more than that to France, in view of the long interval before we participated in the war when France fought our battles, he said. The seventieth congress should strike the sum named immediately from France's settlement. Frederick W. Peabody, managing director for the American associa- tion, favored revision of inter-allied debts. No self respecting American could condone the agreemehts exact- ed by the United States government, he contended. He attacked the alleg- | ed generosity of the secretary of the treasury for demanding repayment of “every nickel” and exacting the best agrcement possible “short of force.” Dr. G. W. Scott, attorney of Phila- delphia and Los Angeles, and former professor of international law at Co- lumbia_ university tary Mellon's debt settlements. In the common dislikes for Amer- fea born of the debts, he said, Euro- pean states should experience a feeling of unity, a feeling which every lover of world peace wishes. “It may result in a United States of Europe.

Therefore he has installed a wicker chair in his cabin, the only one in the starting line, “Keep Rolling, Kid," that is what the radio call signals assigned to Lieutenant Norman Goddard and Lieutenant Kenneth C. Hawkins in the Ely Kncanto signify to the in- trepid pilot-amnd navigator. The sig- rals are “KRK.” Lieutenant W. V. Davis of the navy and navigator for Art Goebel in tlk= Woolaroc, will be right at home in the navigator's cabin. The jcabin is furnished with practically all the equipment to be found in the chart room of a big battleship. The Lieutenant knows how to use them all too. Some enterprising compass manu- facturers in the east have assured the aviators they need have no fear of getting lost on the way to Hono- ulu. They have sent small com- passes by air mail to the -aviators. | The only difficulty, however, is that the compasses do not carry all the degree markings and must be in- stalled overhead and read with mir- ror because all the markings are { backward. The Aloha, flown by Martin Jen- sen, rolled to the starting line chris- tened with the waters of Waikiki beach, the famed pleasure spot of Hawaii. The plane, pilot and navi- !gator were eprinkled with the | “sacred” sca water by Miss Ruby | Smith, officially *“Miss Oakland.” The water was bottled and sent her specially for the occasion. If Jack Forsts Golden Eagle | should go down in the Pacific ocean ten route to Honolulu, it can float {indefinitely. The plane is equipped | with large flotation -bags in wings {and fusclage. Fearing the automobile crush around Oakland airport, three fem- inine members of the movie colony, backers of Art Goebel, brought their blankets to the airport last night and sought quarters on “Newspaper Row.” The planes were lined up in & semi-circle for the noon start. Odd numbers to the right, even number- ed starters to the left. = e A water wagon of the pre-Vol- stead tage, with a wooden tank, drawn by two horses, sprinkled the field with a huge red flag to warn descending airmen. Theft of two magnets from the compass of the “Miss Doran, monoplane in which J. A. Pedlar ex- pects to pilot Miss Mildred Doran to Honolulu, was reported. The theft occurred during the night.

He had told her, he said, that she must ghoose between thim and his rival, as she could not have both, and Sunday evening when he saw her step out of a car driven by his competitor for her af- fections, he could not restrain the impulse to strike her. “I only slap- ped her,” he said. “I did not knock her unconscious and that mark she has on her forehead was made a week ago by a curling iron. I plead not guilty to that charge about the peace or whatever it is, toe,” to which Judge M. D. Saxe rejoined that breach of the peace and assault is one charge and according to the testimony Tamburini was uilty. “You had no right to take thg law into your own hands,” the Jjudge continued and imposed a fine of $20 and costs. Sergeant P. J. O'Mara testifled that he interviewed the young wo- man yesterday forenoon and she told him she had kept company with Tamburini for two years. On Sun- day evening she was visiting at the home of her chum and as it was raining, her chum's “boy friend” took her home in his car. As she went into her yard, Tamburini rush- €d up to her and punched her in the forehead and back of the head and she swooned but he held her up. Her father heard her screams and called Officers Muszynski and Cabelus. Tamburini drove away and the police were unable to find him. Sergeant O'Mara told of obtain- ing a warrant for Tamburini's ar- rest and on learning that he was employed as & bricklayer on the new Sacred Heart school, went there but found that he had not reported for work. Accompanied by Sergeant Feeney, Sergeant O'Mara went to 73 Russell street and learned that Tamburini had left a note that he would not be at home for his meals all day. Continuing his search, Ser- geant O'Mara obtained information that a man answering Tamburini's description had driven an automo- bile for a liveryman at a funeral yesterday morning and had been paid immediately. Walking along Main street about the sergeant noticed a young man sud- denly step into a store as he ap- proached aad at once he suspected that he the person sought. Stepping into the store the sergeant found himself a minute too late as the suspect had left. Reasoning that he would return to his room, the sergeant, accompanied by Officer James McCabe, went to Russell street and found Tamburini packing his suitcase. He offered no resis- tance and readily admitted that he (Continued on Page 8.)

Municipal Airport, Oakland, Cal., Aug. 16 (P —A he: high fog hung over the bay district and out to sea today as crews of nine airplanes awaited the starters' flag which will send them roaring out across the Pacific ocean in a spectacular race to the island of Oahu, Hawaii, for the $35,000 Dole prizes. True to the weather forecast, & heavy offshore fog was reported in the path picked by the fliers for their estimated 22-hours’ journey. The “ceiling” over the fleld this morning reached 1,500 feet, later coming down to between 300 and 400, so that the fliers making their tests could be heard but not seen above that height. There was not a breath of wind stirring, a fact which caused some of the fliers to express hope for a slight breeze down the runway to aid the takeoff. Detail to Handle Accidents, A ‘“crash detail” of thirty men under command of Captain Burdett A. Palmer, arrived at the field eagly from Crissy Field, San Francisco. The men, members of the 381st service squadron of the air corps re- serve, were to handle any accidents arising at the takeoff an dassist in wheeling the planes into position. Julius Kahn, Jr,, son of the late congressman, was a member of the detail. Although emphasis was placed upon the speed of the planes at the starting line, there was a unanimity among aviation experts that the race ‘was not alone for the swift, but one for the navigator understanding his problem well enough to chart a course along the great circle route. Crowds Arrive Early. Early in the day crowds began to press eagerly forward to the fences which mark off three sides of the field. The line of parked cars grew steadily as a continuous rib- bon of automobiles of all descrip- tions streamed into the airport. Around headquarters a battery of movie cameramen installed them- selves preparatory to filming the scenes as the fliers swept down the runway and from the air as they made their way through the Gold- en Gate. Throughout the ‘night work pro- gressed on three planes under field flood lights. The Woolaroc was loaded with special lightweight gas- oline shiped from Bartlesville, Okla. Martin Jensen set a night's work out for his mechanics when he re- tired by ordering a new speclal pump installed. Mechanics worked long after midnight h\slamng the new device. Livingston Irving, Berkeley war- time flier, had his plane loaded with food supplies during the night, care being taken to stow away the vie- tuals in the order needed. The Air King, a biplane built at Lomax, Ill, the'storm center of & controversy vesterday over its car- rying qualities and its fuel supply, was brought to the starting line at 9a m, This move, {ndicating the Alr King would be among the starters, was made after a conference be- tween Captain C. W. Saunders, head of the starting committee, and E. M. Lagron, business manager for the National Airways System, which en- tered the plane.
