* CAFTURED CANNON FOR WPABE PARK Howitzer {o Be Set in Positon by September 38 ‘The captured German howitzer which has been stationed tempor- arily at Willow Brook park will be located in its permanent position, securely anchored on a concrete foundation at McCabe park before the Dedication Day parade passes that spot Beptember 22. This was decided last evening at a meeting of the park commission, and Clerk E. A. Berg and Superintendent Clyde Ellingwood were instructed to start work today towards having the gun placed in its future home. Messrs. Berg and Ellingwood will | visit the park this evening and a range for the building of the foun- dation. Plans for the improvements of New Britain's parks and ideas for making them more attractive brought compliments from the com- missioners for Ellingwood. ‘The board was particularly inter- ested in Mr. Ellingwood's plans for the improvement of McCabe park. Catch basins, which were blocked, causing damage to the park, have been cleaned, the stones have been replaced in line and the place has generally taken on a new appear- ance. The appropriation of $2.500 passed for this job was more than sufficient, only $1,300 being used. Superintendent Ellingwood also reported that firemen at No. 3 En- gine house were willing to take care of watering the grass and keeping it cut, at no expense to the city. Walnut Hill Park Improvements The side of Walnut Hill park toward the New Britain General hospital, mote or less unsightly, and a place for frequent grass fires, will be beautified with clumps of shrubbery, flower beds and a small crescent shaped rock garden, accord- ing to the plans now under consid- eration. Plots of rose bushes are included in the program. The city has rose bushes in its nursery which have not been seen by the public for nine years. These will be brought out of retirment and will be added to the park scenery. The board has questioned a bill of $175 presented by W. H. Hall for replacing a concrete slab in the wading pool, where water ran un- derneath and undermined it. There is a question whether the company or the city is responsible for the bill and Mr. Hall will be asked to appear at the next meeting and explain. Mr. Ellingwood submitted a plan for seeding the hillside on Walnut Hill park on the approach to the new monument, which was approved. There are several large boulders on the south side of Walnut Hill park which were taken out of the ground mome time ago and which are too large to be of any use. There also are some other rocks projecting out of the ground near the bandstand. These will be dy- namited and the smaller pieces used for the construction of a rock garden. £ Tennis Courts in Stanley Quarter The section of Stanley Quarter park north of the lake which has been swampy is being drained and filled and will be used as a place for tenmis courts. The new walk from Walnut Hill park to Vance street is almost com- pleted and will be open to use of the public in a short time. The commissioners are consider- ing plans for parking cars in the park during baseball games, so that it will not be necessary to park them along the driveways, thus eliminating what the commissioners believe to be a dangerous. condition. Places in Willow Brook and Stan- ley Quarter park will be arranged for quoit pitching games during the coming season. - If there is a demand for similar sites in Walnut Hill park, the request will be considered. Although the matter was not brought up at the meeting, Com- missioner Berg stated that the com- missioners will install a permanent marble ring at Walnut Hill park to permit a more centrally located place for future champions to practice. $1,500 For Stanley Property On motion of Commissioner Berg. the commin council will be asked to set aside the sum of $1.500 from | the emergency fund for the upkeep | of the old Stanley property deeded | to the city. Mr. Berg was appointed a com-| mittee of one to take charge of re- pairs on the superintendent's build- | ing. It was voted install electric lights at Willow Brook park for night football practice. Teams using the lights will to be required to pay | | were | reports ‘There was considerable discussion regarding the practice of persons throwing empty bottles on the driveway in the parks. In order to | control this it is likely the board will ask concessionaires to charge 10 | cents for bottles of soda, refunding a nickel when the empty bottle is returned. Superintendent Ellingwood will confer with concessionaires rad report later. City Items The police were notified today of the suspension of the right to oper- ate, in the case of Charles Conklin of 70 City avenue, and suspension of the license of Julian Macora of 340 Washington street. A daughter was born at New Britain General hospital yesterday to Mr. and Mrs. James D. Donahue of $1 Sefton drive. A daughter was born at New Brit- ain General hospital today to Mr. and Mrs. T. Frank Lee of 29 Dover road. A son was born to Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Overstrom of 24 Hawkins street at New Britain General hospi- tal today. A daughter was born to Mr. and Mrs. David Sokol of 165 Linwood street at New Britain General hos- pital today. DEMOCRATS WILL FIND TROUBLE N THE WIDDLE WEST (Continued from First Page) negro vote, estimated at 125,000 or more. At this writing the democratic managers are predicting that this vote will go almost solidiy for Smith, but the republicans are fully alive to what is taking place among negro voters, and say that before election day the bulk of negro defections will have been cancelled. Look to Cleveland It is to Cleveland, the country's fifth largest city, that the democrats look for their greatest gains. They say they foresee a Smith plurality of 50,000 or more in Cleveland, and that the republicans concede that the going there will not be so easy for Hoover. The city has a very large percentage of voters of foreign ex- traction, who agree with the demo- cratic nominee on prohibition, and who are mostly Catholic. It likewise has a large negro population and the republican organization there has been having trouble keeping its own leaders in line. LaFollette carried the city in 1924, and the LaFollette- Dawis combined vote was 24,000 in excess of that cast for Coolidge. Cincinnati, normally a republican stronghold, has long counted the German element one of the strong- est in its civic life, and if rated one of the wettest cities in the mid- west. Columbus and Toledo likewise are normally republican, but this year each of them is under the scrutiny of a strong republican city organization. In Columbus a “mod- ration comimttee” -has been organ- ¢ed by substantfal business men who are convinced the prohibition {law has not been a complete suc- | cess, but this committee has made [no plans thus far to participate in the 1928 campaign. Have State Troubles Both parties, of course, have their state troubles but they are perhaps more conspicuous among the democrats. They center largely on prohibition. The state elects a governor and two senators this year and the gubernatorial nominee on the democratic ticket with Smith, Martin L. Davey, is a dry. So is the }retlrtng governor, Vic Donahey. who like James M. Cox, has been one of those democrats with so large a personal following that he was able to get himself elected re- peatedly to the governorship in the | face of the Ohio habit of voting re- publican in the national elections. Cox is taking a considerable part in the campaign for Smith, but Dona- hey is not. He was opposed to Smith’s nomination and since the national convention has contented | himself with saying that he still is |a democrat. & | Troop 16, Girl Sco_u-ts, Recall Vacation Days The first meeting of the season was held by Troop 16, Girl Scouts, at the Stanley Memorial church last evening.

D. Saxe in police court today, but gave notice of gn appeal to superior court in $100 bonds. The arrest was made by De- tective Sergeant Ellinger last week on a warrant after Detective Ser- geant McCue had “played" the ma- chine and received two papers of tobacco in exchange for four slugs which came out of the machine| when he inserted five cent pieces. Judge W. F. Mangan, represent- ing Rodrick, went into details in his contention that Rodrick was deserv- ing of a discharge because he had no knowledge that merchandise was obtainable in his store on Cherry street, in exchange for the slugs. The testimony of the police was that Rodrick's boy, who had charge of the store when the ma- chine was operated, told the police the slugs must be played back into the machine for packages of candy mints, but Rodrick’'s sister-in-law, who happened to enter the store at that moment, told Sergeant McCue he could have anything in the place except money in exchange for the slugs. She gave him the tobacco. Detective Sergeant Ellinger testi- tied that when he served the war- rant on Rodrick, the latter's sister- in-law claimed that she and her husband owned the business and Rodrick merely conducted it for them. Her husband is employed at night in the Stanley Works and sleeps by day, so he was obliged to have a manager. Rodrick, however, said he owned the store. Judge Mangan contended that if the court believed Rodrick when he said he owned the store, he was al- so entitled to the consideration of having his clatm believed that he never authorized anyone to give merchandise in exchange for slugs. On the other hand, if the court be- liecved that Rodrick’s sister-in-law and her husband owned the store, either of them should have been ar- rested rather than Rodrick, if any- one was to be prosecuted. He stress- ed the testimony of the sister-in-law that she had made a mistake in giv- ing Sergeant McCue the tobacco, and the statement of Rodrick that the husband of his sister-in-law had since paid him twenty cents for the tobacco to rectify the mistake. Ad- mitting that the machine was cap- able of being used for gambling, Judge Mangan declared Rodrick could not be convicted under the| statute unless it was proven that he gave merchandise for slugs or per- Thitted such exchange to be made. Prosecuting Attorney Woods re- plied that attorneys throughout ths country have been driven “from pil- lar to post just as Judge Mangan has been driven this morning,” in an unsuccessful attempt to have the machines declared legal but in many states they have been ruled out, as they should be, because they are gambling machines, pure and sim- ple. Rodrick's sister-in-law, when she gave Sergzant McCue the tobac- co, did what she had seen done in the store time after time, Mr. Woods declared, because that is the purpose of the machines, Money has been given in-exchange for &lugs. also, Mr. Woods declared, and Judge Mangan interrupted him with the charge: “That is an unfair statement, and as an officer of the court, you are telling an untruth.” Judge Save said Rodrick was the owner of the store, by his own tes- timony, and both the state and the | defense agreed that the machine is capable of being used for gambling. The question to be decided there- fore was whether or not it was used for gambling with the acquiescence of Rodrick, ani in the opinion of the court, it was so operated. Costs for Defendant In Gerrity-Gozzo Suit | Judgment for the defendant (ol recover costs was rendered by Judge | Henry P. Roche in city court in the action of the J. Gerrity Co. against Sebastiano Gozzo, in which the plaintiff sued to recover $700 on a promissory note. | In rendering the decision Judge Roche found that the plaintift did not give a satisfactory explanation of the situation ,ner did it produce sufficient evidence of the contracts of release. On the other hand the defendant testified that he received fril release from the plaintiff and took it to Boston. where he showed it to the head of the company who destroyed it and returned geveral notes and told him that the releas was of no further value. The story was corroborated testimony of Attorney Albert Greenberg. Attorney Edward A Meg was counsel for the plaintiff and Attor- neys A. Greenberg and M. P.

Hartmann Drives Back to Berlim With Horse and Cab After Trip to France. Berlin, S8ept. 12 (UP)—"Iron” Gustav Hartmann drove back to Berlin in triumph today. The ancient cabman received homage greater than is usually ac- corded to royalty or visiting trans- atlantic fliers. He had driven his horsecab from Berlin to Paris and back in 22 weeks flat. Gustav, who is 68, made the jour- ney In easy stages and covered the last ten miles today. When he ap- proached the city, he was met by a parade of vehicles of every descrip- tion that fell in behind him and formed a triumphant procession in- to the city. Unter den Linden and the Tier- garten were crowded with cheering throngs that stood for hours to view the strange sight. . Iron Gustav, incidentally, shares with Foreign Minister Stresemann, also named Gustav, the distinction of being the first German to receive a hearty welcome in Paris since 1870. The Paris crowds, aided by students from Montmartre, gave the old man a tremendous reception when he roll- ed into the capital of France. YOUTH AT 21 CAN ADVISE HIS FATHER Gompetent fo Do So in Some Respects, Slade Says The youth of 21 is competent to advise his father in many respects, according to L. P. Slade, principal of the senior high school. Mr. Slade spoke to the members of the Ki- wanis club and their sons at a “Father and Son"” meeting in the Burritt hotel today. Mr. Slade sald the relation of the father to his son should be that of confidential adviser. He said the old theory of a father being a play- fellow with his son did not go far enough, Some times, he explained, the father is not capable of being a playfellow or pal, but he is qualified to be a confidential adviser. *Of course,” he said, provoking a laugh, “there comes a time when the adviser becomes the 'advisee. When a boy comes to the age of 21 he is in some respects qualified to advise his father.” The speaker pointed out that the average child takes himself or her- self very seriously and feels a strong sense of responsibility. Sometimes, he said, this sense of responsibility does not carry with it an inclination to carry out that which should be done, but in the average person it is pretty well developed neverthe- less. He stressed the confidential na- ture of the advisorship and said the father needs the trust of the boy as well as the boy needs the trust of the father. He said each should be perfectly frank with the other, knowing each other's weaknesses @s well as their strong points. Extending a welcome to the boys present, President E. W. Pape told the sons that one of the reasons they were present was to see why their fathers never came home for lunch on Wednesdays. He told of the objects and aims of the Ki- wanis club. Fred Ward, 11-year-old son of former President J. M. Ward, was awarded the attendarice prize. Frank Rackliffe was given three cheers for the largest attendance, having three of his sons present. SMITH'S DAUGHTER TOACCOMPANY HIM (Continued from First Page) most of his important speeches. She was a member of the eastern party that went to Hot Springs. Ark. on August 30 this year for the notification ceremony of Sena- tor Joseph T. Robinson, vice presi- dential nominee.

Zogu its king, re- versing the trend of most European nations. Thus Tirana, capital of Albania, will join the ranks of European royal cities. The modest “white house” will become o palace, and “Mr. President” will be properly ad- dressed “His Highness.” S Ox-Carts “Until a few years ago Tirana was as little known as the rest of Al- bania is today,” says a bulletin from the Wzshington, D. C. headquarters of the Nattanal Geographic society. “Boat loads of tourists drifted éewn the Albanian coast, stopping now and then at some picturesque island, or at a coastal village, but they sclcom ve .tured far inland, “At Durcszo, former capital, and now Tirana's scaport, they took one glance at the impassable ‘roads to the interior and another glance at Uie springless ox-carts and donkeys which were then the only Albanian taxis. Then most of them decided to see Tirana when conditions were improved. “The capital has changed, how- ever, since President Zogu establish- ed government headquarters ‘there in 1925. Bus service on the new road from Tirana to Durazso brings increasing numbers of travelers and the once quiet little Moslem city is making splendid progress. Changes in the Sky-Line “The mosque, domes and min- arets that once dominated the city's sky-line are being encroached upon by modern government buildings and legations of foreign governments who recognize Albanian sovereignty. Hotels are also poking their upper stories above the red roofs of old Tirana's mud-walled structures, and new avenues, parks and public gar- dens have been laid out for the en- joyment of the city's inhabitants and guests. “Albanians are not a traveled peo- ple. Their first railroad now is un- der construction between Durazzo and Tirana, and save for a narrow rim along “the Adriatic seaboard, there are-few roads within the coun- try's borders. But the eoclal aspect of the capital has changed with the coming of representatives of foreign governments. At the new Sports Club Albanians rub elbow with res dent diplomats and the Albanian women now compete against the ladies of the legations on the tennis courts. Tosks Like Ormaments “The Tirana market place is one of the few spots in the city that has not been disturbed by the newcom- ers and here, among the vegetables and fruits piled on the cobbles roam folk of the surrounding mountains and valleys, apparently unmoved by the changes taking place in their capital. - “Both the Chegs of the north and the Tosks of the south crowd the ‘alsles.” Mingling among the live- iy throngs, one sees a bewhiskered Moslen holy man whose somber robes sharply contrast with the flam- ing colors of the natives' garments. The Chegs, three-fourths of whom are Moslems, can be singled oat from the rest of the crowd by their gray half-size fezzes which resemble the aluminum lids which keep pan- cakes warm on American restaurant tables. They also wear loose-fitting, sleeveless, buttonless packets, tight- fitting trousers and home made sandals of ox-hide, “The Tosks are less conservative than their northern compatriots. They like ornamentatiou, and their costumes ate colorful. There may be enough silver and gold in their regalia to pay a first-class passage from Durazzo to New York.” VACATION ENDED COOLIDGE AGAIN IN WHIT HOUSE (Continued from First Page) to return to Washington with Mr. Coolidge. Owing, however, to the lateness of the hour when Mr. Davis boarded the train yesterday evening. the chief excutive had little time for discussion with his cabinet officer | before retiring for the night. | Apart from a few briéf intterrup- tions, Mr. and Mrs. Coolidge passed the time during the journey watch- ing the countryside and playing with their three dogs which, unac- customed to train traveling, de- manded constant attention and pet- ting from their masers. President Coolidge is known to be very anxious to confer at the earl- iest possible time with Secretary Kellogg. of the state department, o cbtain his impressions concerning the recent signing of the multi- lateral anti-war pact in Paris and regarding its likely effect upon world relations. Mr. Coolidge also expects that Mr. Kellogg, who laad- ed last Sunday from BEurope, will probably have additional informa- tion on the Franco-British naval However, he does not intend to wait till next Friday, the regular cabinet Ces. to meet the rematider of his department heads. He has al- ready expressed his intention of con- ferring with them all immediately to seek means of curtailing expen- ditures in an effort to introduce a regime of super-economy for the re- mainder of the fiscal year. In general, President Coolidge in- tends to be brought completely up to date regarding -all government ac- tivities before undertaking a trip to Vermont, which he hopes may be- gth in the pext week or 10 days. The chief executive hoped to find, upon his arrival in Washington, a communication from Governor Weeks, of Vermont, suggesting final arrangements for the journey. It was indicated before Mr. Coolidge lett Superior that if a suitable oc- casion arose he might make a speech while in his native state. FROM GOLF PLAY BY YATES TODAY (Continued from First Page) the long and treacherous fifth, where he got. down in five while George took three putts and a six. ‘They halved the sixth in threes. Don Moe, Young Portland (Ore.) star, and Phil Perkina, the Briths amateur champion, wera all even at the third as Loth played in par figures, 4-¢—4¢. Chick ‘Evans, Chicago veteran laid his approach on the first hole dead to_the pin and sank his putt for a birdie three that put him one up on his fellow townsman, John Dawson, They halved the next (wo holes in par fours. Prospect of a sensational upset right off the reel developed when Von Elm became three down to Yates at the end of the first nine hole: Yates, showing par figures of 35 at the turn, won both the seventh and eighth holes as the former champion skidded a stroke over par on each. 3 Von Elm was having the same trouble around the slippery, moit ture covered greens as he did yes- terday in the qualifying play. The cards: Von Elm out 39. Yates out 35. Von Elm missed a four foot putt on the seventh as he went two down to Yates. At the 227 yard eighth, Von Fim pushed his tee shot to the rcugh while Yates was short. The Rochester star put his ‘approach within three feet of the cup, how- ever, and got his three, while Von Fim was 20 feet short and took two putts. Yages halved the ninth wn}u a beautiful recovery from the rougi efter Von Elm had placed his sec- ond shot ten feet from the pin. Perkins become one up on Moe, winning the Afth and sixth after the latter had taken the fourth. At the me stage, John Dawson was one up on Evans while Gordon Taylor, Canada, was one up on Fred Wright Jr., ot Boston. George Voight of New York, the medalist, got a bad start and was two down to his rival, Billy Mc- Phail of Norfolk, Mass., at the third hole. McPhail took the firat'with u birdie three and Voight conceded the second when he was stymied by a tree and then went into a trap. Von El!m was still thres down, with six to go, when he could do no better than halve the tenth, eleventh and twelfth * holes with Yates. They had b-4-¢ aplece on these holes. Don Moe made the turn one up on Perkins by bagging birdies on the cighth and ninth holes with long putts. Their cards: Moe— Out ......... 444 475 423—37 Perkins— ’ Out ......... 444 563 434—37 In the ‘most sensational outgoing nine recorded so far in the entire tournament, John Dawson made the turn in 33, {wo under par and was two up. on Chick Evans. Their cards: Evans— Out ..oenen. 344 Dawson— Out ... oo 444 442 42533 Yates became four up on the thirteenth, when Von Elm conceded the hole. The former champion got back one hole at the fourteenth when Yates was in trouble for the first time but they halved the fifteenth in par fours. Yates was four up on Von Eim at the thirteenth when he laid his second shot within striking distance of the hole. George was still off the green in three and conceded *ducky” an approximate four, one under par. In desperate straights, Von Eim got one hole back on the fourteenth, ‘where he was on in three and con- ceded a par five by Yates, who picked up his ball in the rough. After halving the fifteenth in par fours, Yates was dormie three and the match was decided on the six- teenth, where Von Elm's bid for a birdie failed and bBoth again got fours. The summaries, for the second 18 hole match. Arthur W. Yates, Rochester, N. Y., defeated George Von Elm, Detroit, 3and 2. Watts Gunn, young Atlanta star, got a flying start when he won the first two holes from his veteran op- ponent, Dr. O. F. Willing of Port- land, Oregon, but the later uncork- €d a brilliant streak of golf, finish- ing the nine one under par, and tak- ing a lead of one up. The score: Gunn, out—35. Willing, out—34. Dr. Willing became 3 up on Gunn when he won the 11th and 12th holes, the latter with a birdie two that put the Portland veteran two strokes under par for that stage of his journey. Bobby Jones, next to the last to get away in the morning round, was even with J. Wolcott Brown Spring Lake, N. J., at the end of three holes. The champion lost the second to Brown's birdie three but won the third. Fred Wright, Boston, made the turn one upon Gordon Taylor, Can- ada, the respective cards being 39 and 42, Wright increased this margin to three up by winning the 10th and 12th, Voight overcame his bad start, quickly caught McPhail and led by two up at the turn.

OPINIONS DIFFER ON CLOSING VOTE Som¢ Merchants Would Gon- tinue Business on Sept. 38 Opposition to the recommendation of the directors of the mercantile bureau of the Chamber of Com- merce, that the stores close on the afternoon of September 22, from 2 to 6 o'clock, during the War Me- morial dedication services, has de- veloped among some of the local business places. Several local firms ‘are of the opinion that the occasion does not warrant closing the stores all or part of the time recommended, and & meeting will be held late this after- noon by a group of merchants to discuss the matter. In the meantime Secretary Ralph H. Benson of the Chamber of Com- merce, who says public sentiment as he hears it, will not approve of stores being open during the hours of the ceremony and parade, has sent a letter to all the business places in the city, except a few out. lying neighborhood stores, asking that they close and also that they display their flags that day. Mr. Benson was notified today that there is a growing sentiment among certain types of business. to follow the example of the barber shops and close all day. He says he does not think this iy necessary but would not be surprised to see a final decision to close at noon for th balance of the day. The letter sent out today is lows: To the Btores of New Rritain: At a meeting ‘of the mercantile board of directors of the New Brit- ain Chamber of Commerce held this morning, it was voted—To recom- mend to the stores of New Britain that they close from 2 o'clock to 6 o'clock on the afternoon of Satur- day, Beptember 22. You will note that the vote is a recommendation and it is hoped that New Britain merchants will uniform- ly comply with the suggested sched- ule for that day, thereby showing respect to those boys who “paid the full measure of devotion” in the World War and to whose memory and honor will our fine memorial be dedicated. 1 All New Britain wiil strive to fittingly honor “Our Boys” and sure- ly the stores will wish to participate in this small way. It will be more than a parade; it will be more than a dedication; it will be those but greatest of all, it will bs & memorial service. It is the board's opinion that the public will not wish or expect the stores to do other than comply with its recommendation. Put out your street flags on that day. Very truly yours, MERCANTILE BUREAU New Britain Chamber of Commerce Ralph H. Benson, Gen’l. 8ecy. feat- ork 3 PERSONAL Mr. and Mrs. Sherwood Raymond and children of Harrison street have returned home from East River where they spent the summer sea- son.
