miom] NEW BRITAIN HERALD ESTABL(SHED 1870 GALE HOWLS OVER WESTERN EUROPE Leaves Nine Known Dead in| British Isles SHIPS REPORT DISTRESS Russian, Greek and South African Vessels Message They Are Sinking —Terrific Storm Strikes Philip- pine Islands’ South Section. London, Nov, 2¢ UM — Having swept over the British Isles leaving nine dead and disabled and crippled shipping in its wake, a southwesterly gale today was howling across west- ern Europe. The storm was fully as severe as that of a week cgo. In addition to the nine deaths there were numer- ous persons injured in scattered lo- calities and much destruction of property. . The chimney of a school in Hull collapsed killing a girl pupil. The other pupils escaped with bruises. Fate in Doubt The fate of the crew of the Ger- man steamer Herrenwyk which sank in the gale about 6456 miles west of Ireland was in doubt, although it was known that a number of the men had been saved. The Danish steamer Estonia cruising around in the vicinity radioed that it had picked up 13 of the crew of 26. A dispatch from Copenhagen, however, said that 16 members of the crew had been rescued. The liner Tran- svlvania also stood by the sinking ship and there were unconfirmed re- ports that she had saved six men before continuing her voyage. The Estonia was still in the neigh- borhood hoping to pick up other sur- vivors, Driven Ashore The Spanish *steamer Cantabria was driven ashore at Ayre, Isle of Man. A rocket brigade stood by and an attempt was to be made to float the vessel at high tide. The crew of 25 was reported to be in no im- nidiate danger. The violence of the wind at Southampton caused delay to several liners scheduled to depart. These in- cluded the Tuscania, bound for New York. The Majestic was late in berthing on her voyage from New York. Shipping was also interrupt- ed in the Mersey river, th: Canadian Pacific liner Montclair landing her | passengers at another port. Can Make Port It was belleved that a number of fishing fleets caught away from bases by the storm would manageto make port without loss of life. Steamer service between Ostend and Dover was cancelled and air liners stayed at Croydon instead of leaving for the continent. The weather was particularly se- vere today over the channel ports of I'rance and along the French Atlan- tic coast. Fishing craft and other vessels were storm-bound. The Brit- ish steamer City of Agra and a num- ber of other steamships and sailing vessels asked in messages through the Ouessant 3nd other French wireless stations that tugs be sent to their assistance. Hard Hit A little colony encamped in huts at Woodland Village, South Wales, was hard hit by the tempest. Sixteen huts were wrecked in the storm of last week and the gale completed the disaster, wrecking the remain- der. About 500 persons were de- prived of their humble homes and compelled to seek temporary shel- ter in public buildings while thelr furniture was stored by the com- pany that owns the huts. The gale howling over northern and western France brought down chimneys and uprooted trees. Tele- graph and telephone service was paralyzed. No fatalities were report- ed from France. ‘Weather predictions were that an- (Continued on Page 16) LINDY TO HUNT FOR - DUCKS AT TAMPICO Mexican Children Throw Confetti on Airman as He Passes Tampico, Mexico, Nov. 24 UP— Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh today put aside his flying helmet and was ready with rod and gun for a few days sport In the vicinity of Tam- pico.

Colonel Lindbergh, arriving here after a flight of about two and a half hours from Mexico City, was given an enthusiastic reception and became the city's guest of honor. A large crowd was present at the El Moralillo flying field when he land- ed and was presented with a gold key to the city. School children lined the streets from the field to the American con- sulate and threw confetti at the air- man as he passed. At a luncheon at the consulate, Mayor Manuel Ar- riaga presented Colonel Lindbergh with a gold medal and a script wel- coming him to Tampico. Colonel Lindbergh was escorted ' on his flight by Lieut Colonel Ro-| berto Fierro, Mexican army filer, who piloted the same plane with which he recently completed a tour ot Central America and Cuba.

A lady's diamond ring valued at $75, a man’s diamond ring valued at $135 and a lady's wrist watch valued at $35 were stolen out of a show window in J.

Maryland, Nov. 24 (®— {The battleship Maryland, bearing | President-elect Herbert Hoover and his party on his tour of Latin Amer- ica, today was riding a gale which at one time attained a velocity of seventy miles an hour. The good will ship rode the storm well. Mr. Hoover apparently was un- disturbed by the gale. At the height of the storm the ‘waves broke over the clipper bow, throwing spray as high as the bridge of the big dreadnaught. At times the water was four or five feet deep In the forecastle as well as on the quarterdeck, where the president elect often promenades. The speed of the ship was reduced from seventeen to six knots by Cap- tain Kimberly, who went on the bridge and took charge. The scas hammered a Voight- Corsair seaplane on the quarterdeck of the Maryland so badly that the ship had to change course in order to permit its being moved to shelter. The president elect had his first tarte of the tropical storm late last night when the heavy seas lapped the side of the ship until they pour- ed into the portholes of his sitting room. Overhearing an attache say- ing “This is terrible,” Mr. Hoover smiled and replied: “Oh, I've seen worw." A swab wielded by a member of the crew disposed of the surplus water and the portholes were closed, making the quarters watertight. The storm signal divisior was routed out to rescue the canvas canopy on the bridge in a gale which made the task extremely dan: gerous. There was excitement on the bridge when a lifebuoy blew overboard as it was first reported that a man had fallen over. ‘The battleship was brought to a (Continued on Page 13) Bernstorff Makes Plea for Disarmament Munich, Bavaria, Nov. 24 ®— Count Von Bernstorff. former Ger- man ambassador at Washington and now German representative at the League of Nations, made an urgent plea for disarmament in an address at Munich university today. Disarmament, he said, was tech- nically possible and it was high time that it was carried out §f the world Is to be saved from another mass carnage. He declared that Germany was completely disarmed and hence it ‘would be a breach of contract if the cther powers did not follow suit and that the Kellogg renunciation of war pact would be a dead letter if dis- urmament were not soon put into | eftect by all the powers. $ Misslle Wrapped With Cloth lo( NEW BRITAIN, CONNECTICUT, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 1928 —EIGHTEEN PAGES EEK VICTORY OVER YALE YALE-HARVARD IN (LASSIC MEETING Beaten Football Elevens Clash Yor Conselation Honors - OTHER IMPORTANT GAMES Army Meets Nebraska at West Point ‘While Princeton Plays Navy and Dartmouth Tackles Northwestern in Intersectional Clash. Nov. 24 UP—The wind-up to an inglorious season, speckled with strewn hopes earlier in the fall, will come to a happy conclusion today for one or the oth- er of the football elevens which rep- resent time-honored rivalry between Harvard and Yale. Hardest Bump Back in the early stages of the sport, at this late hour it was cus- tomary to figure that victory for elther team meant highest honors among colleges of the country. When the whistle starts action today it means only the beginning of the downfall for one eleven to the hard- est bump of all. For one coach the season marks success, for the other a resolve to do better next time. If the game hardly resolves itself into a battle of wits and the glare of spectacular play, the modeled bowl will nevertheless ring out the cheers of 75,000 fans to the bitter end. The season's eastern classic, which the game has come to be known, has a magnet attachment which fills the playing arena wheth- er here on in Cambridge. New Haven, Down in the hearts of the players |- themselves past performances, ei- ther good or bad, are forgotten, only the will being left to achieve the greatest victory to cherish. Pennsyl- vania, Army, Princeton and Mary- land plucked the laurels from either Harvard or Yale this season and took along with them the oppor- tunities to attain the possibility of any championship. The men of West Point handed both teams upsets on successive weeks and as a coinci- dence it marked the first defeat for both elevens, looked upon to uphold eastern prestige. Injuries in Both Teams Injuries will hamper both coaches in placing their elevens on the field, with Coach Stevens of Yale facing the harder task, minus such regulars as Garvey, Ellis and Decker, all backfield men. Harvard is less un- fortunate but cannot call upon Gil- dea, who began the season as regu- lar center. The meeting of the two universi- ties will mark their 47th clash on the gridiron, Yale holding the up- per hand in games won with 27 against 13. 8ix games ended tied. Of late the Bulldog has held the spot- light by capturing the last four out of five games, the fifth ending in & deadlock. The old football style of Coach Tad Jones, who passed over the du- tles Into the more youthful hands of Coach Marvin Stcvens this year, will bear watching as the product of Jones' coaching has continued his master’s fashion of play. Rumors afloat that Stevens would abdicate the bossing of Yale teams after today's encounter were de- nied by the director of athletics. His contract calls for three years. Likewise are the reports about Coach Horween withdrawing from Harvard. He has held the berth for three years with only a fair show- (Continued on Page 14) THIS WEEKS AFFAIRS o Nt ea-ae, ToHN E.

GOV, FULLER TALKS TO BATES IN THIS CITY Bay State Executive Criti- cizes Administration of Prison Boston, Nov. 24 (A—Governor Al- van T. Fuller, who returned to Bos- ton yesterday from Detroit, Mich., to find that a three-day period of confinement to cells had apparently been disregarded by Sanford Bates, commissioner of correction, today was assured by Mr. Bates that their differences were due to a misunder- standing of instructions. Bates was located at New Britain, Conn., while on his way to the Har- vard-Yale football game after the governor had summoned Edward C. R. Bagley, deputy commissioner, be- fore him and directed that the come misstoner be found at once. The governor's order followed the recent attempt of Charles Trippi, Jr., a Fitchburg robber, to shoot his way from the prison. A turnkey was slain and a subsequent investigation was said to have shown a plot head- Jail breaker and convicted murderer, to liberate five dangerous criminals, including Trippi and Hoppe. The executive told Bates that he would assign elght state police to help in & thorough search of the buildings for weapons and other il- legal articles. After talking with Governor Fuller over long distance telephone, Bates declared that their misunderstand- ing had been straightened out. He 1said he would have been glad to | have used the state police in the prison search but when he came to igl\'e the order discovered that prison guards had practically com- pleted a similar investigation and |the services of the sttae officers would be unnecessary.

HING GEORGE A PLEURISY ATTACK Monarch Passes Fair Night and Condition Is Improved NO NEED FOR ALARM Queen to Attend Royal Chorsl So- ciety’s Concert in Afternoon to De- note Lack of Tension of Members of Family. London, Nov. 24 (A—After pass- ing a fair night, King George had improved today, although for the first time it became known that | pleurisy was present. Announcement in the official bul- letin issued at noon that his ma- | jesty’s tmprovement had been main- italned gave further relief to public anxiety over the monarch's illness. Despite the appearance of the word | “pleurisy” in the physiclanis report, members of the palace gave no evidence that this caused any additional concern. | Not Extraordinary It is understood that pleurisy in |the king's type of lung congestion |is nothing out of the ordinary and that therefore there need be no anxlety on this account. The visit of Lord Dawson of Penn and Sir Staniey Hewitt, the king's physicians, to Buckingham palace this morning was rather an extend- ed one. They arrived there shortly before ten o'clock and remained for about two hours. At noon the fol- lowing bulletin was issued: “The king passed a fair night and improvement was maintained. 2leu- risy which commonly accompanies this type of congestion of the lungs continues to be a prominent fea- ture.” While the physiclans were at the palace it was learned that the bac- teriologist called to the royal resi- dence Thursday night was Dr. Lionel Ernest Howard Whitby of the Bland Sutton Institute of Pa- had (Continued on Page 15) THANKSGIVING BOXES FOR DISABLED VETS Eddy-Glover Unit Sends Gifts to Many Hospitals Thirty-eight Thanksgiving boxes were malled on Friday to as many New Britain boys, victims of the World war, who are in hospitals in Connecticut, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and New York. Of this num- ber 26 are mental cases. The boxes were packed by Mrs. Harriet B. Mitchell, Mrs. Mary Mitchell, Mrs. Laura Bertini, Mrs. Concetta Bertini, and Mrs. Lulu Schade, under the di- rection of Miss Cora Bertini at the Municipal Home service bureau. The contents of the boxes were pro- vided and paid for by Eddy-Glover Unit No. 6, American Legion Wom- ens’ Auxliary. They contained candy, cigarettes, matches, chewing gum, life savers and dates. On Wednesdap of next week, ap- proximately 20 complete Thanksgiv- ing dinners will be provided by the same organization to the families of needy ex-servicemen in the city. These baskets will contain chicken, potatoes, turnips, celery, cranberries, fruit, bread and butter; or money will be included in place of the non- essentials in cases where it may be deemed wise. Contributions of any kind will be gratefully received from anyone who may be willing to donate such articles as jellies, frult, candies, etc. Articles may be left at the Munici- pal Home 8ervice bureau, in the city hall, where Miss Cora Bertini will see that they are carefully distribut- ed. Mise Bertini has been a tireless worker in behalf of the welfare of the ex-servicemen of this city. Her co-operation with the American Legion Auxiliary is considered in- valuable. The month of December will find the unit devoting time and energy to the preparation of Christmas boxes and Christmas dinners. Last year approximately 35 boxes, valued at $10 each, were sent to the New Britain boys, and about 15 dinners distributed. The cost was shared equally between the American Le- gion post, the American Legion Aux- illary. the Municipal Home Bervice Bureau, and the American Red Cross.
