These other develop- | ments are believed to be the motor vehicle situation. His position there will be to take over some of the responsibilities now handled by Mr. Stoeckel and Mr Rudd. Robert L. Sengle is distinguished not only by his official associations with the state police, but by his psrsonal popularity. He is a native of New Britain and lived for a number of years on Black Rock Jaue. He graduated from the New Britain high school in the class of 1912, going to Syracuse university. Upon his graduation from Syracuse, where he took an academic course, he entered Yale law school, ating from that institution in 1918 He took up the practice of law in New York city. In 1921 he returned to New Britain and became attach- ed with the state police department as secretary and legal adviser. A * few years ago he removed his resi- WEISS WILL BE SENT, T0 PRISON FOR LIFE (Continued from IMirst Page) History of Case Samuel Weiss and Mrs. Kathe Weiss were arrested Augnst charged with the murder of John Stehr and John Weis street, and John street.

Hope for his re- jcovery was at once abandoned. Rivals For Katherine's Heart | From the outset, the police clung to the theory that Samuel Welss and his brother's wife, Katherine, | were carrying en an illicit love af- | fair. The brothers had been arrested ! on a previous occasion after they | fought over attentions alleged to have been paid the woman by her |brother-in-law. John Weiss had also reported his wife took $500 at one time and left the city with | Samuel. The deaths of Stehr and \\’»lu were almost instantaneous after | they drank the beer, Weiss topling | off a veranda and Stehr dying in a| bathroom. ! The police built their case around the alleged illicit love affair and the fact that Weiss had obtained a | quantity of cyanide in the factory | Where he was employed. | When the case came to trial, the police had & confession signed by |the accused man, which purported | to be an admission that he placed the cyanide in the beer because of his jnalonxy over his brother's wife.

President Barona was ill and could not leave the cap- | ittal, but Hoover learned that Dr. Cincente Meji Colindres, president- elect who was in Amapala, had not been included in the list of func-| Itions the government had arranged. | | Sensing the situation, Mr. Hoover asked that Dr. Colindres be invited. This was done and apparently it meant the beginning of the healing of a Honduran political breach. | “The important thing” Mr. Hoo- e said in speaking of Honduran ai s that leaders of the con- s rmtm congress chosen along with | the president agree not to oppose his | confirmation.

The prize, 4 10 pound turkey went’to Frank E. Rackliffe, Jr., who held four aces. Dr. Johnstone spoke on Thanks. giving and the Kellogg peace pact. He pointed out the fact that United States and Canada have lived to- gether peacefully for many years and expressed as his opinion that tne same conditions surrounding the boundry lines of European countries as exist in North America would wipe out national misunderstandings there, He declared that no war ever successfully accomplished its origi- nal purpose. Stating that the world has exist- ed heretofore in a stute of armed peace, he defined the Kellogg trayy | as reasonable peace and said there | was no doubt but that it would be ratified by the senate. Three things are needed in the world today, he said. One was a new social system whereby there would be neither tyranical capital nor servitude of those who must | work. He added that America has almost reached this condition. The second thing needed by the world today, according to the min- |ister, is a new system in the state whereby the old beliet that “to the man who has—must be given,” and that, be changed. The third he stated is the elimi- | nation of denominational lines |among churches, He referred to |churches of other days when de- nominational lines were drawn so closely "as to make churches self- centered—"all bringing waste with- out sense or decency.” He characterized the church to- day as “a great dynamic force put- ting great emphasis, not on petty denominationalism but on communi- cative cooperative service.” Next Wednesday the Kiwanis club will hold its annual election of officers. “BOSSY” T0 LEAVE . JAIL ON SATURDAY | Will Return (o Job as Mayor of Newburyport, Mass,, With Friends Sulem, Mass, Nov. 28 (UP)— Salem juil will lose its “mayor” and the city of Newburyport will recover its chief executive Saturday. The two months sentence of “Bos- sy” Gillis, who has come to be known as “the mayor of Salem jail," will expire at 7 a. m. on that day. and His Honor, accompanicd by | numerous fricnds, will go back to home town to a municipal wel- | come fit for a king. A brass band may await him at the jail gates. on his arrival in Newburyport, where | citizens are planning an enormous | celebration in his honor. “Bossy,” secmingly by his incarceration, is working every day in the jail laundry, to which he was assigned in fulfillment |of the “hard labor” clause of the sentence imposed on him for illegal- | ly selling gasoline. Jail authorities {stated that the mayor had given |them no trouble, and described him as “a diligent and steady worker.” What “Bossy” will eat for his Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow re- mained somewhat of a mystery to- day. Roast pork, squash and mince pie are the principal dishes on the regular holiday menu, but it is re- ported that friends of the mayor may bring turkey and other dainties to the jail and give a Thanksgiving banquet in “Bossy’s” honor.

PHYSICIANS ADHIT SERIOUS ILLNESS (Continued from First Page) low: A | he king is suffering from in- flammation — congestion — of the right lung with extensive plastic pleurisy on the right side which, as | you know, is a painful condition. | Such an infection must from its na- I ture be serious. In all illness of this | character there must be anxiety | which will continue for the present, but T am happy to say that the Kking passed a quiet night, that the condi- | tion of his lung shows some im- | provement and that his strength is maintained. “So far then, the iliness is being controlled, its force lessened, its symptoms alleviated and I hope its duration will be curtailed.” The letter was dated at Bucking- | ham Palace at 9 o'clock this morn- ing. Allays Fear The letter served to allay public nervousness which had been stimu- lated by the fact that the King's physicians had returned to the | palace carlier in the afternoon than {usual. It was around 3 p. m. when the doctors left the palace after| their second visit. A few minutes later a v 1 motor |car took the queen, Princess Mary |and the Duchess of York for their | usual afternoon drive. The queen | smilingly acknowledged the gres {ings of a large crowd, which. de- | spite the chill of a late afternoon, | had assembled about the palace. | To Attend Dinner i Tt was announced that the Duke and Duchess of York would both fulfill engagements this evening. The | duke will attend a dinner and the duchess will take part in a confer- | ence.

The bolts in the door worked, but there was a bind- ing somewhere and the door stuck firmly. The long distance telephone call was put through and, with the directions sent over the wire from Philadelphia, employes of the bank were enabled to loosen the checked door. It is believed that the door may have settled a minute fraction of an inch. An engineer from the Phila- delphia firm is now on his way to this city to inspect the vault and ensure that there will not be a repetition of the morning's delay, Had Maine Markers on Unregistered Automobile Donald Campbell, age 21 years, of 28 Church street, was arrested to- day on Arch street by Policeman Delbert eVley on a charge of driv- ing an automobile without a certifi- cate of registration.
