UNSAFE BUILDINGS Six Ordoved Razed, Others Are Under Surveillance A campaign has been instituted by the building department to re- move all old, dilapidated structures considered to be unsafe, and al- ready orders have gone out that six be raged. Included in the first group are five barns and one dwelling. The house is located on East street and has been unoccupied for some time. The barns are on West Main, Derby and Grove streets. In the opinion of Inspectors A. N. Rutherford and W. L Carpenter, it is unwise to al- low the buildings to remain longer as they constitute both a fire risk and & hazard to bypassers The campaign will be continued until all structures of this type have been disposed of, the department announced this aftcrnoon. Several Main street buildings are under sur- velllance and orders ar@® likely to be issued soon for extensive repair work. Inspector Rutherford would net divulge the names of owners this afternoon.

Tuption.” Although called into session an hour carlicr than usual, that move proved of no avail, because the democrats, in a conferénce precipi- tated by the row between Senators Robinson, of Arkansas, and Heflin, of Alabama, were absent when the session. was opened, leaving no quo- rum on the floor. The day's debate’ was openef by Senator Shortridge, republican, Cal- ifornia, who cofitended that while the senate had the strength and power to close the doors against Smith it did not have the constitu- tional right to do so. Answering a question yesterday by Scnator Walsh, democrat, Mon. tana, as to what he would have done had he been a member of the &enate immediately following the Civil War and men who had re- belled against the United States pre- {sented credentials, Benator Short+ ridge said that he would have voted 1o seat them. “I would have voted to seat tho leader, Robert E, Lee and welcomed him back again to take the oath at the bar,” he declared. “That is what I reverently believe Abraham Lincoln would have done.” START HOOVER BOOM Newberg, Ore., Jan. 19 (UP) — Leading citizens of this town, ence the home of Herbert Hoover, have organized a “Hoover for President™ AT SEA OFF VIRGINIA | be 1 the B |ley, former Yale athlet trial fe tried for the Meriden hold-up, [leV.
