D., Aug. 31.—P— Several jmportant appointments await ‘the return of President Cool- idge to Washington where he will Confer with interested parties. Upon his return to his desk about Beptember 12, Mr. .Coolidge also will take up with some congressional leaders the question of convening gongress, or at least the senate, in special session a month ahead of the regular meeting time in December. Selection of a governor general for the Philippine Islands to succeed the late Leonard Wood has been post- poned by the president until he has had ah opportunity to confer with the bureau of insular affairs in Washington as! well as with some of those whom he has under consider- ation for the post. -1t also now seems likely he will await conferences with Secretary Kellogg before filling the vacancies in the ambassadorships to Mexico and Cuba. Another administration leader, Senator Jones, of Washington, the republican whip, yesterday urged upon the president the convening of the Senate in special session a month in advance df the regular meeting to give it an opportanity to get a run- ning start on the contests being waged against the seating of Sena- tors Smith, of Illinois, and Vare, of Pennsylvania, both republicans. Senator Jones felt that Mr. Cool- ide was sympathetic to his appeal as Jdid Senator Smoot, republican, of Utah, who urged a special session of congress to meet in November. However, the president wants to dis- cuss this question with' Senator Cur- tis, of Kansas, the repubiican lead- er, before announcing a decision. .Senator Curtis has . opposed a special session of Congress. TOBETTER BORDER DRY ENFORCEMENT Lowman Plans to Double Patrel Near Bufalo Washington, Aug. 31 (#—Tighten- ing of the federal prohibition guard against the ‘flow of liquor into this country along the international boundary between Buffalo and Lake Huron and in the Pacific northwest is being planned. Under plans announced by Assist- ant Secretary Lowman of the treas- ury in charge of prohibition enforce- ment, the patrol force along the Great Lakes from Buffalo to Lake Huron which includes Detroit is to be doubled from 200 to 400 men. In a scheme to better enforcement conditions in the northwest, Low- man called Roy C. Lyle, administra- tor for Washington, Oregon and Alaska, into a conference here to- day to explain the flow of liquor into the northwest. If Lyle was not able to explain the conditions satis- factorily it was indicated *positive steps” would be taken and the dis- trict partially reorganized. Mr. Lowman said that the admin- istrative machinery in Lyle's district was not functioning “as efficiently as might be desirable.” It has been re- ported in the capital that Lyle might leave the service. Conditions -have improved materi- ally in the past three wecks in the Buffalo-Huron area, Mr. Lowman Delieved. CHIGAGD'S MOVIE FANS LOCED 0UT Crowds May Turn to Forgotten Art of Reading Chicago, Aug. 31.—(P—America's second largest city remained virtu- ally without movies today with theater owners.and union operators deadlocked in "F]r dispute over two of the operators® No settlement was in sight ag the | shut-down of the theaters moved in- to the third day, with $75,000,000 in theater property involved and 25,000 movie employes idle. With 350 theaters closed, the daily loss of revenue 1s estimated as $225,000. Only one low-priced movie open in the:loop and-a scattered few neigh- borhood houses kept the lock-out from being 100 per cent throughout the metropolitan area. It was point- ed out, however, that" even these would be forced to close if film ex- changes refuse to distribute any more films..To prevent this, the ing trade by not distributing the films. Neither the theater owners nor the Union operators have made any peace move, both sides declaring there can be no compromise. The stage hands and musicians unions, included in the lock-out di- rected against the operators, also have made new working and wage demands of the owners but no agreements have been reached. WCRAY GETS OUT OF PRISON TODAY Ex-Governor of Indiana Ends One-Third of Atlanta Term Washington, Aug. 81 (M—Warren T. McCray, former governor of In- diana, having completed one-third of a ten year term in the Atlanta federal penitentiary, is expected to be released on parole, from the pris- on late today. The aged former state executive, plufged in 1924 from the position of a millionaire cattle breeder and nationally known gentleman farmer to a convict's number because of use of the mails to defraud in the col- lapse of his financial interests, was granted his freedom by Attorney General Sargent. . McCray today rounded out three Yyears and four months in the prison, one-third of the term. This service made him eligible for parole and the attorney general approved a recom- mendation for such a step, made by the parole board. Aftér the approval, the depart- ment of justice telegraphed Warden Snook of the penitentiary instruc- tions which were undergood to.or- der McCray's release probably by tonight. No protest against the pa- role was made to the attorney gen- eral. Friends of McCray previously had been trying unsuccessfully to secure a pardon.by President Cool- idge on the grounds that the sixty- two vear old Indianian was in poor health. The parole release does not re- store McCray's civil rights. They can only be returned to him after 26, 1931, when his term would have expired with time off for good' behavior. Restoration, how- ever, could be granted in the mean- time by the president by a pardon or through issuance of an executive order. Besides his ten year sentence, Me- Cray was fined $10,000 but the de- partment of justice will not press its collection although it will remain as a judgment against him. McCray’'s wife, son and daughter live in Indianapolis and he is ex- pected to return to that city upon his release. During his sentence he taught a Sunday school class and also edited for a time the prison publication, “Good Words.” Much of his term he acted as adviser on the prison honor farm. New Secretarial School Will Open Next Week The Moody Secretarial school, & rew institution founded by Profes- | sor J. C. Moody, who had for many vears been an instructor in business methods at the New Britain High school, and Miss Helen C. Talcott, glso formerly of the High school staff, will open for its first year of business next week and, preced- ing the business opening is to have a public inspection of its quarters in | the PacKard building today and to- morrow.

Golon to Ask Rehearing The right of the county commis- sioners to refuse to return chil- dren to the home of their parents on the verbal report of one girl, as against evidence that state welfare reports are prejudiced and misrep- resentative, will be contested in the courts by Stanley Romaine of 15 Star street. Mr. Romaine has retained the services of Attorney L. J. Golon to represent his interests in the effort to force state and county officals to return his children. Mr. Golon, ty commissioners to return the chil- courts for a new hearing. He will ask that the county commissioners, the Connecticut Humane society. and the Connecticut Child Welfare Bureau appear in court and show | cause why the children should not | be returned to their parents. county. commissioners, the Humane society and the Welfare bureau are holding five out of six children of police, newspapermen, County Com- | missioner E. W. Schultz, and even & representative of the Child Welfare bureau of the home at 15 Star street have failed to find evidence to sub- stantiate charges made in court when the children were taken away. A striking instance of the alleged attitude of the welfare agencies oc- curred yesterday when inspired by the intimations of a woman connec- ted with the probation officer's of- fice in Waterbury that furniture in the Romaine home was not up to the standard she thought it should be, Mr. and Mrs. Romaine last week purchased a six piece upholstered parlor suite, second hand, and at a bargain. Informed of the purchase, some one in the Child Welfare Bu- reau remarked, “That's the way with ey for parlor suites when they ought to spend it for beds.” “What can T do,” asked Mr. Ro- maine. “If T can't buy furniture they kick, and when I do they kick.” The verbal report to the county commissioners by a girl who found things immaculate when she called, | contained a statement that Mr. Ro- | maine is “Not working now.” Mr. Romaine is working for the city | sewer department and works every | day the department operates. He is under the jurisdiction of Mr Con- nolly by order of the local courts, | and the latter official claims he is | qualified to see that the man sup- ports his family. Replying to charges of the same Waterbury woman that the family | kept chickens in the house, Mr. | Romaine remarked, “Mr. Connolly | came over to investigate and he found the ‘chickens’ consisted “of one -parrot in a cage.” | The evidence submitted seemed to be mostly on the past record of the family, and not of its present con- ditions, according to former Judge | William C. Hungerford, who made the commitment on evidence sub- mitted by the welfare bureau and humane society. Attorney Golon, who says he has | had experiences before in forcing | the state officials to release chil- ! dren is confident that he can have | the children returned to their home |in the near future. | Inquiries at the Long Lane farm { by Mr. Romaine, as to when the | two older girls held there would he returned home, revealed the In-: formation that no definite reports jare on file there and the authori- | ties do not scem to know why the | sirls are being held, nor when they | should be released.
