By order of Judge Ernest C. Simpson, presiding at the jury triui, &pectators were not admitted. In spite of the ruling, the court- room was nearly full of witnesse lawyers, and others directly interest- ed in the case. No startling testimony was intro- duced during the session. Chief i importance was the attempt of- At- torney Edward B. Reiley, senior de- fense counsel, to have barred the testimony of Attorney Albert J. Bronsky, clerk of the local court. The state wished to introduce his testimony regarding the plea of guit- ty to the chdrge of carrying con- cealed weapons bbfore that court, which was made by Laurite by coun- sel, and subsequently withdrawn when Judge Abner P. Hayes; decided not te take jurisdiction en that charge but to bind the accused over The jury was excused while counsel argued the admittance of Aftorney Bronsky's testimony, State's Attorney Lawrence L.

Boston, Jan. 18 M—The U. B. navy was in a better pesition to con- duct the rescue and salvage opera- tions on the sunken submarine 8-4 than any private company on the At- lantic coast, Capt. Walter N. Davis, manager of the Ecott Company’s salvage department, testified today before the naval board of inquiry investigating the disaster. He sald that his company had as much salvage equipment as all of the other private companies put to- gether but wvith the exception of derricks, which ocould only be used as auxiliaries in the S8-4 operations, the navy had by far the best equip- ment for submarine work. In view of the experience gained during the raising of the submarine 8-51, the navy's personnel, he said, {was more competent than any private company in the world. He said that his company had made no bids on the 8-4 job but had offered its serviees to help the navy in any possible way. Commander Leslic E. Bratton, the judge advocate, asked the witness for his opinion of the navy's efforts to rescue the 8-4's erew and hlp, answer was: “Under the weather conditions ! which prevailed, I am positive that everything was doue that could have been done. No human power could have saved those men on the 8-¢. This is my opinion and also that of | my assoclates.” STATE PAYS BACK Wall Street Briefs.

Is His Claim Where agriculture is a failure, in- dustry cannot survive, according to Henry Trumbull of Plainville, vice president and Connecticut state If & ruling by a superior court ludge relative to insurance of schools in Portland, Oregon, is to hold in Connecticut, schools of this city can- not be insured in a mutual company legally, it s said. A ruling handed down, January 7, by Presiding Cir- cuit Judge Eckwall at Portland has made $4,000,000 of fire insurance carried by the Fortland school board with a mutual company null and void, The matter came to a head in July, 1926, when N. P. Johnson, a taxpayer, filed suit in Multnamah | County cirucit court questioning the right of the school board to sub- scribe to policies in mutual insur- ance companies. Johnson based his contention on a constitutional pro- vision which hig attorneys declared prohibited and municipality from lending its credits to a private con- cern. He claimed that the school board has lent its credits in this case by subscribing te policies in a mu- ! tual fnsurance company.
