McCormick's fall was accl- dental, as far as is known. In? police court today, Ryan, who | is 35 years of age and lives at 26 Buckingham' street, Hartford, plead- ed gullty to the charge of drunk- enness and not gullty to the charge of_breach of the peace, saying e 344 nof"know anything about a dis. turbance ho was alleged to have caused. Judge Roche imposed a suspended Jail sentence of 30 days and Ryan promised to remain away from New Britain. Last June he was in court and’ was ordered to find a place to lve, which he did. He is now em- ployed as a plumber's helper on a constructdri job in Martford, he said and he has been abstaining from drink and working steadily.

McCormick is Ryan's step- brother, according to Ryan, and the only breach of the peace he could recall was his insistence.on riding to the hospital in the hospital am- bulance with the injured man. . Supernumerary Officer Raineault testified that he arrested Ryan in a restaurant on Hartford avenue, after Laving follewed him from Swanson’s home. Swanson had told the offi- cer he would see that Ryan rcached home, but the latter was noisy and used bad language, according to the officer, EXPLOSION NEARER INUNIVERSITY ROW (Continued from First Page) Atwood declared obscene until the return of the proofs from the print- ers. The rush_of the material to the printer following the Christmas va- cation made it necessary to wait for the proofs in order to cdit the ma- terial, “Mr. Phelan is an experienced writer and the editors did not be- lieve it necessary to examine the ar- ticle since they could edit the proofs. Tho president secured the proofs and promptly suspended Mr. 2othman and Mr. Phelan. After con- ferring with the president, Levesque and I were requested to resign from the publication or resign from the college. After considering the alter- natives, Levesque and I decided that to resign from the monthly would substantiate the president’s opinion that Rothman was responsible in letting the article appear in the pub- lication, He had not read the article. Also Levesque and I could not see wherein we ‘were sufficiently involv. ed to warrant our resighation”from the Clark Monthly. “Since Rothman's suspension has been lifted, Levesque and I have ap- plied for reinstatement and our ap- plications will receive the president’s consideration.

He was surprised on looking through the rear window to see s human form in the seat. He though it was & woman, but as he crept stealthily along the side of the car, the glare | of @ flashlight struck him full in the face and a masculine voice demand- ed: “What do you want?” “Nothing,” hd answered, ahd his glance took in the brass buttons of Officer Kieffer's uniform. The officer, holding the flashlight in one hand, scemed to be reaching backwards with the other hand, and Kaplan, thinking he was about to e covered by a gun pulled a revolver out of his'own pecket and covered the officer. « Threatens to “Drop” Policeman “Get out of that seat and don't maks a noise or I'll drop you,” he is said to have commanded and tho officer obeyed. *Put up your hands” was the next order and the officer complied, but Kaplan detected a lowering movement of the hands and fearing the ofticer was about to take | the chance of reaching his own re- volver, Kaplan reached beneath the ofticer's overcoat and removed his pistol from the holster. "If I don't | set you, the sergeant will,” Officer Kieffer warned him, according to Kaplan, *Start walking and don't make an outcry,” the bagdit replied and the officer started {into the darkness, but had not gone far when Kaplan, from & point of van- an automobile by waving his flash- light.

Before reaching the center of the city, he threw away the sailor's pea iJaciset, he said, but the police found | |that this was untrue and they lo-| jcated the jacket in the check room | at the Hartford passenger station, with a portable graphonola, which Kaplan admitted he had stolen out | lof an automobile in New Haven. | He checked the bundle Baturday, according to the authorities, - Chiet Hart Elated Details of the trap into which Kaplan fell yesterday afternoon in |the home whera he was arrested bf |five officers of the Hartford depart- {ment were not disclosed today, but |it was said that Lieutenant Andrew J. Willlams of the Hartford detec- tive bureau obtained information on which the arrest was made. Bér- geant Ellinger and Officer Strolls were in Hartford and had returned a short time before word was re- |ceived of Kaplan's arrest about 5:30 last evening. ‘That's the best news | that has come over that machine in a long time,” Chief Hart exclaimed |as the story of the arrest was ticked off on the teletype. Bergeant Ellin- ger and Officer 8trolls were sent | Iback to Hartford and interviewed Kaplan for several hours. The floor waxing machine which was in the automobile when it was chhcd at the municipal ' garage urday was stolen by Kaplan | from a ncw house in Newington, jowned by A. 8. Petrauskas of this city, according to Kaplan's admis< sion,' He was driving through New- ington and took & notion to go inte the house, which s as yet unoccu- pied, in the hope that there might be something of value avallable, Ho | said he had no particular plans in mind for using the machine, Kaplan admitted that he had a companion @n the car when he made a sensational getaway from a Meriden filllng station last Thurs- day night. e had the gasoline tank {filled and then refused to pay, {brandishing a revolver at “Eddie Barnikow, an employe in the place. Barnikow gave chase in an auto- mobile but Kaplan and his compan- 'ion escaped in the direction of New {Haven. Kaplan insisted to the po- {lice that his companion was a stranger, whose name and address e had not botheted to learn. According to the police, Kaplan | had an operator’s license in his pos- scssion, issued to John D. Dawies, aged 22, of 125 Gold street, New Britain. He said he formerly lived at the Gold strect address. He also claimed that he lived in Scranton. Pra. ~ Policeman Su Kaplan's story of the hold-up of Officer Kieffer differs from that contained in the latter's report to Chief Hart, in that the officer made no mention of having used his flashlight. His report indicated that: he was covered by the bandit's re- |volver so suddenly he did not have |time to do else but surrender, while iKaplan's statement indicates that ! fad the officer covered him with | his pistol instead of his flashlight | he might have obtained “the drop™ on him. The police beliecve that the car Kaplan saw Officer Kieffer stop {was the police car in whi¢h Rer- geant Feeney and Officer Brophy | riding, the sergeant having left Officer Kieffer to watch the abandoned car.

De- clines in most of the standard in- dustrials and rails were limited to a point or two, but several of the high priced pool speciaities broke 3 to 7 points. Two or three rallles started in the early trading fell flat, Call money appeared in plentiful supply at the renewal figure of ¢ per cent but banks called about $20,- 000,000 in loans, presumably to re- pair the deficit shown in last Satur- day's clearing house statement. In the absence of any adverse news de- velopments, the reaction was attri- buted to weakened technical condi- tions in the market. The falling off in trading probably was due to com- mission house advices suggesting a waiting attitude for the time being on the part of traders. Despite reassuring statements of automobile executives, motors con- tinued to lose ground onm fears of reduced profits through recent price cuts. One block of 10,000 shares of General Motors changed hands at 131; Jordan touched & new low rec- ord at 9, and Hupp sold off 3 points, U. 8. Steel common touched 14¢ 5-8 the lowest price in about a month, but Youngstown showed independent street. U, 8. Cast Iron Pipe broke 7 points and Sloss Sheffield, Texas & Pacific, 8t.
