FOR ‘DRY’ SLEUTHS — Tosts to Be Hod in Conecticut By GEORGE H. MANNING (Washingtom Cerrespon , N. B. Herald) Washington, D. C., Oct. 19—An- other efforts to fill the depleted samks - of prohibition enforcement egents was {naugurated here today by the federal government, when the Civil Bervice Commission an- nmounced its second examination for agents under the Bureau of Prohi- bition. ‘The first examination, held a year ago, was an almost dizastrous at- tempt. The tests resulted in gaping holes in the ranks of the enforce- ment army when hundreds of appli- cants were unable to pass and thus become eligible. It is understood, . however, that many of these in- eligibles are yet serving. The examinations will be held lo- cally in Connecticut cities at about the time the next congress convenes, early in December, it is believed. Applications must be received at the commission's oftices here not later than November 20, and candidates will be notified shortly thereafter as to the exact date and place where they may be tested. The examinations in Connecticut will be held in the following cities: Bridgeport, Danbury, Hartford, Middletown, New Haven, New Lon- don, Waterbury and Willimantic. The tests will consist of three di- visions: mental quizzes, practical re- porta based on hypothetical cases, and training and experience. In ad- dition to the written examination,an oral interview is required. The mental test itself includes two types of questions, those requir- ing decision among e number of pomsible actions in a given case and those requiring interpretation by the candidate. The commission cites the following as a typical example of the second type: “Which one of the following sug- gestions is the best reason why fin- gerprints are a means of identifica- tion of criminals? (1) Fingerprints are easily obtained. (3)Fingerprints indicate the character of the indi- vidual. (3) Fingerprints are -easily filed. ,(¢) No two fingerprints are exactly alike. (5) Fingerprints may be obtained without knowledge of the criminal.” Suggestion No. ¢, according to the commission, i the model candi- date's reply. In order to be eligible to these examinations the minimum exper- jence requirements of the commis- sion must be met. These include either one year's service in the last five years in the enforcement of law Make This Store Your Headquarters for Your Saturday Shopping.

The age limits imposed by the order of the commission state that all applicants must be between the ages of 33 and 67, except in the case of persons entitied to prefer- ence because of military service. Salaries for agents entering the service range from $3,300 to $2.800 yearly. The exact salary for each individual is adjusted in accordance with the qualifications he shows in his examinations and with the duty to which he is assigned. ‘When the men are accepted for the enforcement service, they enter upon & “‘probationary period” of six months’ duration. At the end of that time they become eligible for promotion in proportion to the ef. ficlency they have demonstrated, possible expansion~of the corps and vacancles which may occur in high- er positions. The' commission, in addition to the - pequirements outlined above, will conduct as searching an investi- gation as pomsible into the life of each applicant, it is made plain. Fingerprints of each man will be taken and traced, school records probed and past employment veri. fled. Lapses in any of these respects will disquality a candidate, and if not discovered prior to his appoint. mept will be regarded as sufficient cause for dismimsal. NEW YORK'S MAYOR IS INDIGNANT AT CLAIMS Resents Implications That City Au- thorities Have Not Cooperat- ed in Night Club Drive, New York, Oct. 19.—(M—Mayor James J. Walker resents the impli- cation of Maurice Campbell, federal prohibition administrator for this district, that city authorities have not cooperated in attempts to rid the city of abjectionabie night clubs. The city, the maydt said, has given more aid to the federal authorities than it has received from them. Mr. Campbell, in a letter to Dis- trict Attorney Joab H. Anton in which he suggested two means by which the city might act against such clubs, said he -had written Mayor Walker a year before along the same lines but had received no answer, He suggested more cooper- ation between city and federal au- thorities, “If the federal government,” the mayor remarked, “will stop its agents from patting hips on steam- ship piers and put them to work catching real offenders it will get somewhere."” The mayor's statement that the city had given more aid than it had received evidently referred to the subject matter of his recent letter to Mrs. Mabel-Walker Willebrandt. In that letter he quoted police reports to show the city had turned over !o1 EMBARRASSING MOMENT Walnut Creek, Cal,, Oct. 19 (UP) “Imagine my embarrassment,” Joel W.

READ HERALD CLASSIFIED ADS NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 19, 1928, New Legion Chief Didn't Get to France Colonel Paul V. McNutt and Mrs. training camp in 1918, Bloomington, Ind., Oct. 19.—The new national commander of the American Legion is one of those un- happy Americans whose services during the World War were highly essential but not at all spectacular’ or exciting. Colonel Paul V. McNutt, the 37- year-old chieftain of the soldiers’ organization, knew too much about ! fleld artillery for his own good. Be- cause of his knowledge the army authorities kept him at San An- tonio, Tex., where he just won elec- | tion to the Legion's highest office, | training military units. He was con. ! sidered one of the foremost theoretl. | cal field artillery instructors in ‘the | country—and that was just his hard | luck. Colonel McNutt is youthtul to \ae a national commander; but then, he ‘ has traveled far for his years in | other ways, too. He is dean of the | \Indiana University School of Law, | and has been granted a year's leave | of absence from that post to carry on the duties of his new Legion office. He won the appointment three years ago, having the distinction of being the youngest man ever made a dean at Indiana. Born in Martinsville, Ind., in 1891, McNutt studied at Indiana university, graduating in 1913, and went to Harvard to study law. He finished his law course in 1916, re- turned to Indiana to become an as- sistant professor of law, and on the outbreak of the war joined the army, receiving his training and commis- sion as artillery captain at Fort Ben.

They were mar- ried there in 1918, and their recent trip to the Legion convention at 8an Antonio was a tenth anniversary of their honeymoon. HOOVER SCHEDULED T0 VISIT GOTHAM Tnvades Smith’s Home Town' Next Monday : Washington, Oct. 19 (# — The final thrust Herbert Hoover is to make into eastern territory — his visit to New York city next Monday —is to be much less strenuous than the campaign tours he has made during the last month. Street processions and long auto- mobile touring through crowds, which formed a large part of his activities on his journey to Newark, Elizabethton and Boston, have been eliminated from the program of his trip to the home town of his demd- cratic opponent, as have rear plat- form speeches and overnight train rides, ‘The republican presidential can- didate will leave here Sunday after- noon, arriving in New York in time to have a good night's rest at his hotel, to which he will drive direct- ly from the Pennsylvania railroad station. He will be welcomed to the metropolis by Charles D. Hilles, na- tional committeeman for New York; |H. Edmund MacHold, state chair. | man, and other leadersy To Spend Day at Hotel Under present plans~all of Mon- day will be spent at the hotel. Some party leaders will be guests of the candidate at breakfast. Later during the forenoon, Hoover will receive delegations from various foreign groups and probably will make brief talks to them. The nominee will speak again at the hotel luncheon which will be |given for state and county chair- men and officers of the various in- dependent Hoover-Curtis committees Rare Values and Smart Styles ii{undreds of Styles Sketched T which have been organized in New York. 8everal hundred will attend this luncheon and the candidate is expected to advise them to re- double their energies in the fight to capture Governor Smith's home state for the republican national ticket. During the afternoon, the nomi- nee will receive republican service men who have been promoting his candidacy and later will rest in his suite before dinner and the speech he is to deliver at Madison Square Garden that night. Vice President Charles G. Dawes also is to speak on the same program, which will be carried to the country over & nationwide radio hookup.

Since the New York address, which now practically is completed, will be the last in the east, Hoover is expected to make a general sum- ming up of his position on the vari- ous issues which he has talked about and al!so to deal more fully with some questions which perhaps are closer to the people of New York city than to those elsewhere.
