THNSCASTDANCE CONCERT ARTISTS NARRED BY DELAY Froic Nembers Hare Loug Ar- gument With Inn Masagement The Lions’ club tendered its an- nual testimonial to the members of the frolic cast last night at the Paragon inn. The affair started off with some discouraging features, it 1s sald, including an argument with the management as to privileges in the contract. For awhile it seemed as though the officers of the club might be forced to take their party| elsewhere. The clash came over the question of admitting others 'hani couples. As the cast did not con- tain an equal number of men and | women, and some of the members | wera present without their wives. | this was impossible and the guests ‘were not permitted in the ball room | until after 9 o'clock, when members of the committee finally prevailed | upon the management to throw | open the doors. | The dancing started about 9:30, o'clock and the program shortly | after 10, A buffet lunch was served | after 10:30. The program was supplied | members of the cast and included specialty hits from the frolic. Old | fashioned dances, which proved | puzsling for the first few minutes | to some of the younger guests, were directed by Attorney David L. Nair, acting as floormaster. James V. Onorato had chargs of the pro- gram. Problems, advantages and disad- vantages of radio broadcasting and the business of supplying radio programs, were explained to the members of the Lions’ club at their weekly luncheon at the Burritt ho- tel today by James F. Clancy, man- ager of WTIC at Hartford. Mr, Clancy confined his talk in general to advertising by radio, pointing out that audiences are be- coming discriminatory and do not approve of using the air for sales purposes alone. . A delegation of Lions from the Bristol club was present and through Judge Joseph Donovan, former president, delivered a chal- lenge to the local club to compete in anything from baseball to bean shooting, {including checkers and ple eating contests. The challenges ‘were accepted with the proviso that pinochle and eross word puzzles be included by L. W. Vogel and Dr. Jeseph Potts, the latter being chairman of the athletic committee. BRITTEN SUPPORTS BIGNAVY PROGRAM (Continued from Page Three) by | would hurt chances of getting any material increases. The president insists upon the crulsers, it is sald, so the United | States may have a bargaining point at the 1931 conference, when eruis- er limitation will be the chief con- siderstion. Opposition of France and Italy to abolition of the submarine will prevent the submarine question from being raised at the conference, it was belleved. The United States, therefore, would not need to barga on this point, and can consider a submarine building program laler. o Cruisers The 25 crulsers proposed would cost $400,000.000 approximately, and the additional personnel and airplanes necessary for thein would not yun the figure much over $500,- 000,000, 1t was estimated the 71-ship program, proposed, including build- ing now going on, would cost $1,- 500,000,000 over the nine-year con- struetion period, 1928 to 1937. The annusl appropriations bringing the totsl up to $4,200,000,000 approxi- mately, The $500,000,000 figure will not look #o large to the taxpayer, it ‘was pointed out. ‘The opinion was expressed today that congress probably would not authorize more than 15 cruisers, and that President Coolidge set the high figure in order that the compro- mise would not go below 15. That number would bring the cruiser ton- nage of the United States up to the 300,000 ton limit proposed at the recent Geneva conference. The committee today heard rep- resentatives of shipbuilding con- cerns, who gave it estimates of cost on the new construction proposed.

But when the gas tank is in front of the pilot he s in little danger of a forced landing. Would Be “Dead.” But what would have been the | outcome,” he waa asked, “if you had | been forced to land while over the | water?” I guess the outcome would have been that I would be dead,” he said and laughed merrily. Turning to his planned trip over the old air mail route which he abandoned exactly cne year ago yes- terday to go to 8an Diego where the “Spirit of St. Louis” was being built, Lindbergh said: ¥ primary object in going over is to stimulate aviation and interest in it—although 1 do want to go over the old r ute. But T think the air mail will become more and more important especially the ground organization is devel- cped. 1 expect to see all important mail sent by air in the future.” Negotiating a plannea course from Havana, Cuba, to Florida and thence northwest to the Mississippi river, Lindbergh swooped out of the fog at Lambert-St. Louls field late ves- terday and ended his journey of 1.. 200 miles in 15 hours and 35 min- utes. His flight, begun December 13 at Washington and leading down through Mexico, and the Central and South American republics, was des- cribed today as an odyssey of the air which in its spectacular aspects was second only to his New Yora to Paris flight. ‘With characteristic modesty Lina- bergh raid the last non-stop leg o1 the flight through the fog was like any other flight and that he was not lost at any time. “My longest jump over the water about 100 miles,” he related. “T| skirted the weat coast of Florida | rorth and flew directly toward St. | Louis. It was from there on that I had to detour, though I encountered fog from the time I hit the main- land. Ceiling Low “I was only occasionally out of sight of the ground on the trip yes- terday. The flying ceiling was too low to circle over §t. Louis as I had planned and so T headed directly for the fleld. The mouth of the Missourt The crowd of 800 people standing in a soaking rain at the field to wel- come the good will flier, grew appre- hensive at 4 p. m., when an air mail plane took off and returned five min- utes later unable to penetrate the dense fog and mist. Crowding about the dripping hangars they stared into the southeastern skies and the powerful electric beacon light swung to and fro, its beam penetrating the sodden heavens. Sticks Out Long Legs Even as they stared a sputter caused the people to turn and with roar Lindbergh’s plane swept over the hangars from the northwest, Circling the fleld several thmes to inspect the ground, the Lone Eagle landed and taxied his plane to a hangar, Thrusting his long legs out of the cabin of the plane he was met hy the reception committee and many of his comrades of the National Guard and air mail routes. After posing for pictures he saw the planc | placed safely in the hangar and then gave a short interview to newspaper | men. Afterward Col. Lindbergh was again, the plane somewhat travel- stained and the pijot weary. Lindbergh said he had enjoyed the trip, although the flying was done in the worst weather possible, accord- ing to the weather bureau. Plans Air Mail The fiyer asked to be allowed to retire early to get some rest for the exhibition which had been planned today as a tribute to the achool chil- dren of St. Louis. The program call- ed for a flight by Colonel Lindbergh over the Mississippl river between the Eads and the I'ree bridges with the children lined up along the levee. The flight was planned as an ack nowledgment of the gift of a bu of the fiyer to himself from the chil- dren, The grownups were asked to greet him from the roofs of houses on the tlight. Asked what his plans were Lind- bergh said he had none beyond mak- ing an air mail flight over his old route to Chicago next week. f Doesn't Eat St. Louis, Feb. 14 (#—There is one sure way to obtain a sharp re- tort from Colonel Charles A. Lind- bergh—and that is to ask him w he eats on his non-stop flights. Ap- parently remembering the prodding he received after eating only a sand- wich and a half on the New York to Paris flight, Colonel Lindbergh was on the defensive yesterday when asked what he ate on his way home from Havana. “What has that got to do with it, anyway?” he asked in the hangar. Again at night when the same query was put to him he reddened and grinned and then replied: “Well, T don't see what that's got to do with it.” 4,200 Mile Trip Cleveland, Feb. 14 P — A 4,200 mils non-stop transatiantic fliight from Wilmington, D will be attempted this spring by | Lieut. George B. Davis, of Detroit, veteran army pilot who saw service in the world war. Announcement of the flight w t night by C. P. Rogers, which will finance Davis. The hop will be made about March 1, he said. New A new type of pl for long flights, having twe 18-cylinder motors coupled on ene shaft, will be used, Rogers said. The plane, now being tested at Wilmington, is & Stinson-Detroiter capable of ¢40- horsepower. Lieut Davis is now stationed at Atlantic City, N. J, and has been granted a 90 day leave to make the attempt, according to Rogers, who was en route from Detroit to Wilm- ington. Boston, Feb. 14 (UP)—Fire be- lieved to have been set swept an un- occupied dwelling near 8t. Eulalia’s church, South Boston, last night. Po- lice sought to conmect the fire with eight recent Incendiary fires in South Boston church properties. Pat. rick MacDonough, 14, of South Bos- ton, one of two boys arrested in con- | nection with the fires, was held un- der $5,000 bond today pending a hearing Saturday.

Allen Co., Inc., in front of the ruins of the Philip Corbin memorial organ at the South Congregational church, other workmen removing pews, tem- porary guard rails and danger signs, and clean-up squads removing water soaked carpet and floor paper, spoke eloquently today of the catastrophe which visited the South church Sun- day morning, when fire destroyed the organ and did damage estimated at $150,000 to the structure. No further investigation is being made into the source of the blaze, the fire department report of saw- dust and sweepings on a hot furnace pipe being accepted as the actual cause. The work of reclamation is being held up pending the arrival of ap- praisers and insurance adjusters. An appraisal is expected to be made to- morrow. Two more casualties wera noted today when Fireman Arthur Gau- dette of Company No. 3 reported off duty suffering from a wrenched back and Fireman Willlam Frey of Com- pany No, 6 from a sprained finger, sustained at the fire Sunday. This makes four men injured while fight- ing the blaze, including Chief Wil- llam J. Noble, who injured a knee. William Bomba, who was slightly overcome by smoke while removing the motion picture flms from the booth, was not the actual operator of the machines but aids the regular operator, At the Sund: motion pieture services and on Fri- day evenings when the machines were operated they were in charge of Arthur N, Rutherford, a member of the church and volunteer oper- ator.

Att- will, state commissioner of public utilities declared today before the legislative committee on power and light. Mr. Attwill addressed the com- mittee at a hearing upon a bill recommended by his department for regulation of the public utilities. The bill would permit the companies to readjust their stock in order to capitalize premiums and undivided profits and would provide for con- tractual relations between the com- panies and the state, while subject- ing the utilities to such rates and charges as the commonwealth might prescribe under certain conditions. Mr. Attwill said he realized that counsel for the utilities would ad- vance “with ghoulish glee” the argument that the department’s bill w unconstitutional ‘onstitutional law,” he continued “is largely determined in ‘the last analysis by public opinion. A true economic theory will never be stopped by any decision of any court in this land. “We ought not to be timid in as- serting the right that when we grant to a monopoly the right and privilege to carry on a state and governmental function we should also have the right to impose con- ditions on that utility.” Peter J. Nelligan, city solicitor of Cambridge, supported the depart- ment's bill. John H. Fahey, publisher of the | Worcester ost, also favored the bill. “The recommendation of the de- partment,” he said, “is nothing more or less than an attempft to see if the control of these private mon- opolies by the commonwealth can be continued on south lines. Otherwise we must give it up as a failure and conclude that the only hope of fair rates and good service for the pro- tection of our industry and our peo- ple lies in state and municipal oper- ation of the gas and electric utili- ties ‘The state laid down definite terms under which private com- panies undertook the operation of these services. Those terms were clear. The companies entering the business understood perfectly what they were. Tnvestors who put in their money knew the limitations | under which they were making their investments. The people in giving extraordinary rights to these utili- ties never consented to their taking | profis on unearned fncrement.” ROSENBERG AGAIN IN GOOD GRACES Fighter Reinstated by New| York Boxing Board New York, Feb. 14 (P—Charlie (Phil) Resenberg former bantam- weight champion, suspended a year ago, was reinstated by the New York State Athletic Commission to- day.

Graham's manager, wasy pot reinstated and the commission gave Graham the right to make his own matches in the future. Rosenberg announced he would campaign in the future ax a feather- welght under the manager of Pete Stone, associate of Bill Duffy. Gra- ham previously indicated he also would fight in the heavier division. Phil Glassman, manager of Ben- ny Bass, Philadelphia featherweight, was reinstated automatically by the | commission today because Baas went through with his losing match against Tony Canzoneri of New York here last ¥Friday night. Glassman and his entire stable of boxers were set down when Bass reported off sick on the original date of the Canzoneri match several weeks ago. Glassman, however, was indefl- nitely as a second, for coaching Bass from the corner {n the Canzonerl bout. Frankie Genaro, National Boxing Association flyweight titleholder, was placed on the sick list and de- clared ineligible until he goes through with a bout against Frisco Grande, originally scheduled for this Friday night at Buffalo.

Molloy of the court of common pleas has handed down a decision in REPORT PROGRESS INCHURCH SCHOOL Board of Directors Hears of (Gains in Registration The board of directors of the United Week Day church schools held its midyear meeting last eve- plaintiff in the case of Michael Chle- bowicz ggainst Joseph Waskiewicz, | which went to him on an appeal hy | the defendant from the finding in favor of the plaintiff, by Judge W. C. Hungerford in the city court of New Britain. Judge Hungerford or- | dered the défendant to pay $11s. | The controversy had its beginning | when Waskiewicz sued Chlebowicz for $500, alleging conversion of ar- ticles left in a tenement at 199 Glen street, and recovered a judg- ment for §1 damages and $1 costs. Chlebowicz brought suit against Waskiewicz, alleging that the latter | tad damaged the tenement while oc- | cupying it, and in his decision, Judge Molloy has the following to say: *“This is an appeal from the judg- ment of the citycourt of New Brit- | ain wherein the court held the de- | fendang liable for the condition in which they left the tenement occu- | pied by them in the plaintiff's prem- | ises, 199 Glen strecet, New Britatn, This court concurs in the conciusion of the New Britain court that ‘after | an occupancy of less than two years they left the tenement in a disorder- ly, filthy and damaged condition, tar to exceed any condition contem- plated by ordinary wear and tear.’ *This court is well aware that a tenant may leave a tenement disor- derly and perhaps filthy and vet per- haps not be liable, but where in ad- dition to the dirt and filth described by the plaintiff’s witnesses there fis added much evidence of what is ap- parently a total disregard of some |degree of care in the usage of the tenement in question, the conclusion is almost irresistible that the de- fendants deliberately intended the conditiens found. The evidence ! shows no regard for the proper use | |of tallet facilities and electrical fix- tures. It is proper of course to use walls to hang pictures upon, but why mutilate those walls with nails and holes in the plaster. Why write |upon the wall paper? Why use a | kitchen to such an extent that stren- | uous efforts have to be made to get the grease and dirt out of the floors and galls? A landlord is entitled to some protection from this class of tenazt who has no regard at all for the property it is occupying. Pay- ing rent does not entifle a tenant to so live in dirt as to result in what cannot be considered by any stretch lot the imagination ‘ordinary wear | and tear’ A tenant must use a| tenement in such manner that no substantial injury shall be done through any negligent or wilful mis- conduct on his part. The instant case is a practical illustration of the policy some people pursue in life of | absolute indifference to the rights of others. When such a way of life can be dealt with cffectively, it ought to be so done. “Judgment is therefors directed for the plaintiff to recover the amount of his ren: bills, with in- terest, totaling $127. Attorney Thomas F. McDonough, represented the plaintiff and Attor- rey B. J. Monkiewicz represented the defendant. 12 Year OM Girl Fonnd in | R. R.
