Smith, Sedalia turned out sev- eral thousand of its citizens to- day to review a long automo- bile procession, led by the presidential candidate, through the city’s principal streets. In & hot sun which beat down upon his open car, the nominec was driven through the crowd- lined atreets for about an hour and back to his hotel where he intended to rest up for his first Missourl speech tonight at the ; state fair grounda. The Bedalia Boys' band, with & base drum taller than the average man, preceded the gov- ernor's car and played time and again the “Sidewalks of New York"” while the nominee sat on the back of his car and waved his brown derby to those on the sidewalks of Missouri. Sedalia, Mo., Oct. 16 (P—Repub- lican claims of economy in the ad- ministration of governmental affairs will be the target here tonight of Governor 8mith in launching his single speech campaign in this border state. To Rap Economy In addressing an audience in the huge Uvestock pavilion at the state tair grounds a few miles from 8e- dalia, the democratic presidential nominee will take as his text a single sentence in his acceptance speech in which he asserted that the claim of governmental economy is #s baseless as the claims that gen- eral business prosperity exists and that it can exist only under republi- can administration.” Thousands of Missourians are ex- pected to come here to hear the spesch, which will be broadcast over a nationwide radio chain be- ginning at eight o'clock, central time. The governor worked late on the speech last night at the Terry hotel, his headquarters here, but he was not expected to be able to complete it before noon today at the (Continued on Page 24) WESLEYAN DEAN WILL INVESTIGATE RIOT Freshmen and Sophomores Engage in Pitched Battle at Banquet New Haven, Oct. 16.—(®—The re- port of the interclass fight between ‘Wesleyan university sophomores and freshmen at a local hotel last night reached the office of Dean Frank Nicolson today but no action will be taken until the facts have been learned, it was said. The fight which took on the ap- pearance of a riot when a squad of police was called to quiet the dis- turbance, began with the freshmen, numbering 75, rushing the banquet room where the upper classmen were dining. It is & tradition of Wesleyan every year to hold a sophomore banquet and if the freshmen locate the meet- ing place they must be invited as guests. The 50 sophomores had just begun to eat when the group of freshmen arrived in two bus loads from Mid- dletown. A pitched battle ensued in the lobby of the hotel when the lower classmen were refused admit- tance to the dinner. Clothes were torn from the students backs and one sophomore soon found himself without wearing apparel except for a pair of B. V. D.’s while women visit- ors in the lobby ran from the room. A call for help brought a squad of policemen but by the time they ar- rived the freshmen, by a ruse left the bullding to gain entrance to the dining hall by another door. Here they consumed much of the food and 'when discovered by the upper class- men again, they hurled dishes and fruit at the oncoming group. Police at this time arrived on the scene and quelled the young rioters only after using their night sticks. The sophomores reorganized after their inferiors had vacated with the aid of the police and had their sor- rows lightened by a party of enter- tainers who had been hired for the occasion. The damage to the hotel amounted to $330, mostly in broken dishes. All of the students carried back to school today marks of the battle.

ALGORN PRONISES 10 HIDE N0 ONE Will Not Shield Oficial Folly or Wroug Doing WATKINS CASE “SORDID” Wife of Confessed Fraud Collapees as Prosecutor Outlines Life of Husband and Reoess is Declared Peading Her Recovery. Hartford, Oct. 16 M—The super- ior criminal court room rapidly fill- ed with spectators early this after- noon in anticipation of some disclos- ures by State's Attorney Hugh M. Alcorn. Roger W. Watkins, Hart- tord broker, who induced promoi- nent state officials to become iden- tified with his National Associated Investors, Ilnc., was presented for sentence, having pleaded guilty last week to conspiracy to defraud the public and to making false state- ments to the state bank commis- sioner, Watkins' wife and her two brothers, Guy and Maynard Tress- lar, were also to be sentenced by Judge Brown, having pleaded guil- ty to participation in the conspiracy. Ears were attentively inclined to catch every word of Mr., Alcorn's presentation which linked the names of those in high places with the hectic career of N. A. I and to follow the state's attorney's presen- tation of the story in chronologicat order and in sequences from the ar- rival of Watkins in Hartrord in the spring of 1927 to the present. Refers to Past History Bome of the broker's past history in Pennsylvania, Ohio and other places was referred to, and testi- mony reviewed which showed Wa.- kins in the brokerage and financial game in several cities long before Hartford knew him and the potent fact thqt in more than one instance the Tresslar brothers appeared on the scene following Watkins and were employed in the houses and that in more than one instance, Mr. and Mrs. Watkins left hurriedly those cities in which Wat- kins was engaged in business. The Hartford story holds a tense inter- est, Alcorn said. It was here that Watkins came and got a job with A. J. Callahan & Co., brokers, rep- resenting that he had been in the mausoleum business for a dozcn years but could learn the financial business, Mr. Alcorn pointed out that Watkins had professed to be broke, horrowed $50 from Mr. Cal- lahan the first day and in threc weeks' time had comtrol of the of- fice and Callahan had little to say about his own business, Watkins Rapid Rise Watkins made money with sur- prising rapidity, bought a fine house on Walbridge road in West Hartford and installed his wife and children. He ran the brokerage business at high speed: took in the Milford youth, Winthrop Gregory, and changed the business to the name of Winthrop Gregory & Co.; became aé- quainted with Louis Bouet, the former New Britain young man who was a deep student of investment trusts; took him and started the N. A. 1. getting the law firm of Bhip- man & Goodwin to prepare a char- ter, which in the long run proved to require the approval of the bank commissioner to operate. Mr. Alcorn referred to the re- | markable contract by which Wat- |kins wan to have 20,000 shares of |N. A. 1. for selling the 200,000 shares |to be marketed and the note of Win- throp Gregory & Co. to be held by (Continued on Page 15) PASSWORD CONFUSES CREW: SHIP CAPTURED “Got Any Alcohol Aboard” Answer- od Affirmatively to Astonish- ment of Customs Officers New York, Oct. 16 UP—"Got any alcohol aboard?” shouted Customs Inspector J. J. McAlarney from a patrol boat at a launch running without lights in the Hudson river early today. A “Yes,” came the frank reply. Astonished, McAlarney and two other customs agents hauled the patrol boat around and set out in pursuit of the launch. After fir- ing several warning shots across the bow of the fleeing craft, the cus- toms men brought the dilapidated but speedy launched to a stop and captured a cargo of 170 pallon demijohns of rum and arrested four men. One of the prisoners told « the agents “Got any alcohol aboard?" was a password along the water- front in sclling liquor among yachts and the affirmative reply was made because the launch cre': did not suspect the identity of the patrol boat, which also was running with- out lights. - As the launch swerved to fleet, it narrowly missed colliding with the government boat. Robinson Won't Sit With Radio Commission ‘Washington, Oct. 16 (P—Judge Ira E. Robinson, chairman of the federal radio commission, declined to sit with other members of tlie commission today at hearings of broadcasting stations protesting their assignments under the new al- locations. Judge Robinson issued the following statement: “Having opposed and voted against the plan and the reallocation made thereunder, I deem it unethi- cal and improp:r to take part in the hearings of complaints against the same, or the hearings for modifica- tions of the same.” brokerage | F==] NEW BRITAIN HERALD NEW BRITAIN, CONNECTICUT, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 16, 1928. ~-TWENTY-FOUR PAGES German Dirigible Over New York At End of Voyage The Graf Zeppelin, giant German transatlantic passenger dirigible, passing over Times Square section as she circled Manhattan Isl and before landing at Lakehurst, BENJAMIN STRONG DIES IN NEW YORK Governor of Federal Re- serve Bank Succumbs Following Relapse New York, Oct. 16 UP—Benjamin Strong, governor of the Federal Re- serve bank of New York, died today in New York hospital.

Henry Roraback of the republican state central committee, made pub- lic today, expressed appreciation of the co-operation of the Connecticut republican organization which made it possible for him to spend/ more time in Massachusetts. This is in response to Mr. Roraback’s letter of last week, pointing out to Mr. Hoover Connecticut's willingness to forego his visit to this state in order that the republican candidate could devote his energies to his Massa- chusetts appearances. Mr. Hoover sai your letter of October 4, in which you point out that under the cir- cumstances it will not be necessary for me to make an appearance in Connecticut. Your co-operation in this matter is indeed most hearten- ing. Please extend my thanks to your co-workers for the fine attitude which you are all taking.” As it was planned to have Mr. Hoover's visit to Connecticut be an opportunity to meet members of the state organization, and as such a meeting would be so limited as to leave a feeling of great disappoint- ment in the minds of the thousands who desired to meet him, Mr, Rora- back was moved to express to the | varty's candidate the opinion that | his efforts might be reserved for places of greater advantage to the campaign. “I do appreciate | !

J., Oct. 16 P—Crossing the Atlantic by airship in itself is not a particu- larly arduous experience. It's when you land that the real work begins. The passencgrs on the Graf Zep- pelin found out about this last night —all about it. They didn’t say so— although they might, after the widely heralded eight days have elapsed— but, if this observer is a good guess- er at all, theyre going to yell for parachutes somewhere off Cape Hatteras next time they come to America on an airship, With indignant unanimity they declared to the reporters who man- aged to get through the crowd and within halling distance as the big silver fish settled gently dowa onto the landing field that there wasn't a thing to that atory about their being seasick, they were still abroad then, thinking about cigarettes and a good dinner, and feeling chipper. Trail Wearily Out Some five hours later, they trailed wearlly out of the improvised cus- toms office in the hangar, looking, not airsick, but “landing sick"—and plenty. “The crossing wasn't tiring"—it was fun,” moaned Lady Grace Drummond Hay, British journalist, with a title, “But this —" At 6:38 p. m., the Graf Zeppelin was hauled down into a mob of push- ing, clamoring, enthusiastic welcom- ers at the naval air station. Lady Drummeond Hay thought it was fun. She appeared at the window, smart- ly dressed in black and white, gaily answering the questions shouted at her by the American girl reporters. Pale and Hungry At 10:15 p. m.—pale, hungry and tired—she autographed the last postcard thrust at her out of the mob, crept down a back stairway and departed for New York in a motor car. “I'm hungry,” she sald—she al- most sobbed it “80 are we,” cheerfully observed one of the girl reporters. *“We've been living on nothing but ice creamn for two days waiting for you—" “I haven't had any ice cream for a long, long time,” sighed Taay Grace Drummond Hay. First of all, after they landed, came the health inspector. He had to get through the crowd. He was late. It wus well along toward 7:36 before he finished. No dinner was served aboard the Graf Zeppelin last night. Hadn't they been talking all day about ‘“eating dinner in New York tonight 2" By the time the doctor was through with them, the passengerv |aboard the Graf Zeppelin—as they may inform you a week from to- morrow, an agreement they were re- quired to sign forbidding them to |talk for publication sooner—were thinking rather favorably of the ship's cuisine.

J., Oct. 16 UMW—Dawn furnished the first full opportunity to examine the transatlantic dirigible the Graf Zep- pelin’s storm damage, revealing the extremity in which the 60 occu- pants of the ship must have been, until speedy and courageous repairs held disaster in check. Window Smashed The wind having broken a small window in the bottom of the port fin, ripped off a piece of fabric about 50 by 25 feet, which left a gaping hole directly into the great 3,700,000 cubic foot bag containing the fuel and lifting gas. Crude methods were employed to make repairs in mid-ocean, beds being stripped of their blankets to stuff the breach through which the storm might have wreaked havoc within the ship. Four men of the crew, including the youthful son of the pilot, Dr. Hugo Eckener, climbed out over the fin's duralumin girders, the tatters of the ripped cotton fabric, heavy with metal paste, whipping about them as they worked in wind and rain. These modern sailors whose element is the air, instead of the sea, did a job on their precarious perch 1,500 feet above the waves. Lashed Ends From the floor of the hangar it could be seen, by craning the neck and peering high above, how des- perately working men caught ends of lashing fabric and twisted them about girders, making all fast and preventing further damage. Tt was the notable work of those four men that enabled the wireless call for assistance from navy ves- sels, sent out when the fin first tore, to be cancelled within ten minutes. But when the repairs were made almost the entire bottom of the fin was left bare and the wide juncture (Continued on Page 20.) ‘PHANTOM STABBER GETS AWAY AGAIN Stabs Stratford Girl and Makes Escape Before Child Obtains Help Bridgeport, Oct. 16 (P—Failure of a passing motorist to recognize the fact that two girls were trying to stop him to point out to him the phantom stabber who had just at- tacked one of them on Main street, Stratford last evening, gave the elu ive flend another of the ‘“lucky breaks” which have permitted him |for more than three years to con- tinue his attacks upon young women and girls and make his escape each | time. | _ The stabber's latest victim, Marion Buchanan, 12 year old Stratford school girl, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William J.
