News of the World By Associated Press ESTABLISHED 1870 ETNA'S ERUPTION LESSENS SOMEWHAT Flow of Lava From Mountain Letting Up 4300 PEOPLE HOMELESS Molten Stream Is But 300 Yards from Rallway Which If Smother- ed Would Isolate This Section of sicily. Rome, Nov. 9 M—Though the town of Mascall has been buried under the flow of molten lava from Mount Etna, latest reports trom the scene of the great eruption indicate {hat the speed of the current has slackened and that the eruption it- selt is declining. Nears Rallway The lava 1is nearly 300 yards away from the rallway running be- tween Catania and Messina, and at ths present rate it would be prob- ably 30 or 40 hours before it reach- ed that line. Efforts are being made to divert the stream into the sea and to construct a temporary rail- way across the threatened territory so that railroad communication will not be shut off. Figures received here say that 4,300 persons are homeless and are being cared for by nelghboring vil- lages. Measures are already under way to provide work for the farm laborers. The pope has sent 25,000 lire for reliet of the sufferers, and the fascist authorities have added 20,000 lire as a first instalment of the relief fund. The village of Nunziata s be- lleved t0 be out of the danger zone, as it is protected by a high ridge from the lava flow, although a few houses in the outlylng district have been swept away by the stream., Damage Heavy The possibility is considered of a new danger if the three branches of the lava stream now moving to- ward the sea should unite along the front, which is about one mile in extent. It is estimated that already the flow has destroyed over 250 acres of intensively cultivated land, which means damage of 16,000,000 lire, or, roughly $700,000. This does not take into account the town of Mascall, with its houses and sheds filled with the recently gathered grape crop, or the loss of the forests which have been devas. tated. Prof. Ponte, director of the Vol- cano institute, has made several re- connaissances by airplane, one of them to inspect the crater and to learn if possible the nature of the lava flow. Owing to the smoke and «tmospherie conditions there was difficulty in coming to a conclusion as to the exact volume of material being erupted. SURGICAL DRESSINGS BRANCH CONSIDERED Hospital May Open Station Nearer Center of City The possibility of the New Britain General hospital opening a down- town agency for the convenience of women who make bandages and sur- gical dressings is being discussed by ofticials of the institution. For years women's organizations of the various churches have met weekly at the hospital and have made dressings. ‘The total dressings made, while amounting to a substantial saviog to the hospital, has been but a small portion of the total amount needed. The inconvenient location of the hospital in many cases, it is felt, has kept women away who might otherwise drop in at their own con- venience for an hour or two of work. It & downtown location were pro- vided, hospital officials believe, the rumber of volunteer workers would Increase considerably. Beveral places are under con- sideration. Dr. T. Eben Reeks, su- perintendent, has considered taking up with Adjutant Carl Fredrickson the suggestion that the Salvation Army hall be used. The supply room at the hospital, which is a storage place for dress-! ings and which hitherto has been in charge of a young woman em- ploye, has been put under the di- rection of a trained nurse, Mrs Louise Rouviere, who graduated from the nurses’ training school there four years ago, and who has been doing private nursing ever since. Mra. Rouviere will also have charge of the accident rooms and will direct the handling of surgical instruments, their sterilization and other duties in the accident room which formerly were handled by the operating room force. “The putting of a graduate nurse in charge of the supply room gives it a higher tone and adds a profes- sional atmosphere, as well as a com- plete technical supervision”, Dr. Reeks stated today. Street Dept. Foremen Given Their Notices Three street department foremen were notified at the close of opera- tions yesterday that their names will be stricken from the payroll Sat- urday, this action having been neces- sitated by the fact that funds for this kind of work have been exhausted.

Stamford, Nov. 9 (M—Actually a prisoner, technically a free man, Paul Lathbert, school of journalism graduate, canvasser and caretaker remained at police headquarters to- day while Prosecuting -Attorney Abraham Wofsey and local police continued their investigation into the death of Miss Olga Bayes, pret- ty, young stenographer who died in a hospital here as a result of being struck on the head with a rock and thrown in a brook on the night gf October 25. No Charge Made No charge has been placed againat Lambert nor has any serious attempt to free him been made. His attor- neys are reluctant to start habeas corpus proceedings because Wofsey has already said that he will im- mediately issue a first degree mur- der warrant for Lambert should any such proceedings be started. This would mean the delay lead- ing up to a murder trial and the trial itself and Lambert's counsel are more inclined to awalt Wofsey's (Continued on Page 31.)

ARREST OF FORGER ENDS POLIGE HUNT Youth Admits Offering Bogus Checks in Four Places WANTED T0 RAISE FUNDS David Badoorian Trics to Pas Worthless Paper On Mcrchants, Expecting to Walk Away Un- molested With Cash in Pocket. Admitting, according to the po- lice, that he made the rounds of business places on Hartford avenue and offered forged checks in pay- ment for merchandise this forenoon, David Bardoorian, aged 19, of 29 Tremont street, was arrested by De- tective Sergeant W. P. McCue and Sergeant P. J. O'Mara in the Eureka Bottling Works at 152 Hartford av- enue on the charge of forgery and will be arraigned in police court to- morrow. Bardoorian, who 1s said to have been involved in trouble while in | the navy besides having served a commitment to the State School for Boys at Meriden, went into Harry Cohen's poultry store at 82 Hart- ford avenue and order $35 worth of chickens, tendering a $40 check on w DBritain National bank, with the signature of “Dave J. Renie.”” Cohen would not cash the check until he inquired at the bank about it, and before the forgery was discovered, RBardoorian had left, without his change or the chickens. Forges Perakos’ Name His next stop was at Dessle Cohen's store, 95 Hartford avenue, where he bought two leather jackets and tendered a check for $21 on which was forged the signature “Peter B. Perakos." This check was also drawn on New Britain National bank, where it was learned it had been forged, and again Bardoorian left without merchandise or change, but he made another try, this time at Harry Netupsky's filling station at the corner of Hartford avenue and North street where he ordered tires and tubes and tendered a check for $5 bearing the signature “Dave J. Tenordo.” Netupsky complained to the police and when the sergeants arrived, they located Rardoorfan in the bottling works where he had or- dered two cases of soda water de- livered to his home every week.

MANNING (Washington Correspondent, N. B. Herald) ‘Washington, D. C., Nov. 9—Postal | receipts in New Britain for the fis- cal year ended June 30, 1928, were | $405,648.46. This was an Increase as compared with the figures for 1927, when they totalled $403,614.34. In view of the bellef of many economic experts that postal re- ceipts furnish a fairly accurate in- dex to the business conditions pre- vailing in particular localities, the angéuncement of the figures is an- nually awaited with much interest, Bridgeport's receipts were $891,- 951 in 1926, $981,095 in 1927, and $1,036,789 the year’ just ended. Those for Meriden were $329,066 in 1926, $326,258 in 1927 and $332,.- $74 in 1928. New London's totalled | 1$177,777 in 1926, and $180,077 and | $186,985 for the two succeeding years. The statistics for the state as a whole are not avallable yet. They cannot be made public until the re- port ¢f the postmaster general for the entire year is given out. Figures | for individual cities were furnished by the post office department, how- iever, when they were compiled. These figures covered not only ‘the last two fiscal years, but gave also the statistics for New Britain in 1926. In that year the city's pos- tal recclpts were $391,444.47. These figures are compiled by the department as a basis for comput- | ing the necessary appropriations to be sought from congress.

After Ox- Adaptation The system®will be an American adaptation of that in vogue at Ox- ford and Cambridge and is techni- cally known as a “vertical” organ- 1zation. In practice it will seck to bring together a cross scction of under- graduates in a common “house” or college which will be a social unit. The students at the “college” will be chosen irrespective of class division, field of study or any other arbi- trary distinction. The present organization of the undergraduate body into four under- graduate classes is what is known in the education world as *“horizon- tal.” It was said at Harvard that if the experiment proved practical more such units would follow as soon as| funds were available. Successful | operation, it was predicted, might revolutionize the organization of the university and set a model for simi- lar changes in other American insti- tutions of higher lcarning. President A. Lawrence Lowell an- nounced the gift late yesterday. The present fund will be used to build | and endow a group of dormitoric dining halls and common rooms to accommodate from 200 to 300 stu- dents. Hope to Change Eventually it is hoped to change the existing system of four under- graduate classes into a collection of convenient sized colleges, each of which would be a separate educa- tional as well as social unit. Under this plan Harvard college would be only the name given to this collection. The college would, however, perform certain other routine functions such as the award- ing of degrees, the giving of uniform .| examinations for these degrees and the organization of lecture cou: open to all members of the univer- sity. The project was viewed as the logical extension of the tutorial sys- tem first introduced at Harvard 15 years ago by President Lowell, a method which divides all the under- graduates into departments, accord- ing to their ficlds of study. Btudents are required to take the major portion of their work in some fleld which they choose.

The court attendant talked to the judge. The judge talked to Mrs. Fricdman.

She had testfiied that Hyman had not spoken a word since the ac- cident, which occurred Oct. 13, 1923, when her son was seven months old. The suit had been brought against R. H.

Hoquiam, Wash., Nov. 9 (#—An unidentified ship, presumably a fish- ing craft, was believed by coast guardsmen to have been swallowed up today by a raging sea in Grays Harbor Bar, near here. The ship, obviously in distress, was sighted shortly after midnight, battling a fifty to sixty mile gale and enormous seas, just outside the harbor. A coast guard boat put out to her aid but returned two hours later and reported that no trace of the vessel could be found. After learning that the distressed vessel had sent up a flare the coast guard boat started out again, but those aboard expressed the belief that only a large ship could have “J“m”d the heavy pounding of the The channel entrance to Grays Harbor is deep enough to swhllow a fair sized ship.

SAYS PROHIBITION WAS REAL QUESTION Mrs. ‘ Peabody of Law Enforcement League Scoffs at Tariff New Haven, Nov. 9 (P—That prohibition and law enforcement and not the tariff, ner the farm issue, nor prosperity was the issue in the recent election is the claim made by Mra. Henry W. Peabody, of Beverly, Mass, chairman of the Woman's national committee for law enforce- ment, in & statement issued here to- day through a sub-committee of the organization. Mrs. Peabody sald that ten million women affiliated with various organ- izations “worked for upholding of the 18th amendment.” These bodies she named as the general federa- tion of women's clubs, national con- gress of parents and teachers, the national council of women, the vari- ous church organizations and the national women's democratic law en- forcement league. Mrs. Peabody’s statement follows: “The election of Herbert Hoover the answer to the cry for a referen- dum on the 18th amendment. The voters have declared they want more, not less, prohibition, more rot less, enforcement of the 18th amendment. “Mr. Hoover and the republican party have received a mandate on this amendment. He has been elected to the presidency because tne people believe he will give them the full measure of enforcement. It was not the tariff, nor the farm issue nor prosperity, but the menace of the return of the old saloon which led millions of women who had never voted to cast their first ballot for Herbert Hoover. It was the fear of this menace which made hun- dreds of thousands of other women forsake for the time being their party allegiance to vote for the man with whom they believe this amend- ment to the constitution will be safe. The women of the country know that the election of Gov. Bmith ‘would mean disaster to the cause to which so many have given thelr thought, their strength, thelr pray- ers and to which some leaders gave their lives: Therefore, the women worked for Hoover as they worked in the war for conservation, with the spirit of crusaders. “His election, the crowning achlevement of the enfranchised women of America, will be regarded throughout the entire world as a triumph for the prohibition policy and a protest against the return of the legalized liquor traffic. It is the answer to the nullification pleas of the organized wets and should ban- ish forever from American politics the shameful reminder of & bygome day, the liquor controlled peliti- elaa.”
