STURMAY NIGHT (LOSING OPPOSED Merchanis o Yote on Schedule o Business Hours A change in the system in vogue up to but not including last year, of keeping stores open until 9 o'clock Saturday nights and closing at ¢ o'clock Friday evenings, will be rec- ommended by the uniform store hours committee of the Mercantile hureau at 3 public meeting at the Chamber of Commerce Friday morn- ing. The matter will be threshed out and voted upon at that time. There seems to be no question that the vote will be to return 1o the former custom, since a number of merchants who agreed to try the new schedule last year have declar- ed it not satisfactory and will not agree to continue on that Dbasis. Many are afraid it wil' develop into a program of remaining open two uights a week. The meeting will be at 10 a, m. Kriday. Other hours recommended will remain essentially the same as in previous years, as follows: Regular Schedute Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday evenings— Close 6 p. m. Saturday evenings—Close 9 p. m. Evening before observed holidays ~Close 6 p. m. December 19th, 23rd—Close 9 p. m. December 24th —Close 7 p. m. Summer Schedule Effective July 10th through Aug- ust 28th—Wednesdays, close 12 noon. Otherwise same as regular schedule. Holiday Schedule New Year's, Washington's Birth- day, Memorial Day, July 4th, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christ- mas—Close all day. Good Friday—Close 12 noon. PEASANTS FREEZE T0 DEATH IN HUTS (Continued from First Page) S0th, 21st and (Christmas Eve) blocked trains from Bucharest. The blighting cold is declared by meteorological experts to be the most severe in nearly 200 years. It has kept freezing populations at bay in their homes, many families spend- ing their entire time under bed cov- erings except for the minutes re- quired for scant meals. Peasants sleep with cattle and pigs in order to denve warmth from the bodies of the animals. In many towns and villages the people are' burning their furniture, ripping up floors and chopping out doorways between rooms in order to obtaln fuel. Czechoslovakian railroad authgrities are burning petrol along the roadbed in order to keep pas- senger and freight trains from freezing to the rails. Most of the ports on the Black Sea have been repgrted as icebound at Archangel. What icebreakers were available have not been power- tul enough to break the ten feet of ice that locks the harbors. All Bul- garian and Rumanian wireless sta- tions are recejving continuous callg for help from wvessels which have been unable to gain shelter. Some boats have reported sighting small icebergq an unprecedented phenomenon for the Black Sea. Zagreb, the capital of Croatia, has eaperiénced 36 hours of snowfall and all ‘street car and railroad service there is paralyzed. 800,000 Il in Budapest Budapest, capital of Hungary, said there were 300,000 cases of influenza there and that long queues had formed outside of drug stores mad« up of seekers after aspirin and quinine. Hospitals have received 340 cases of frostbite within 48 hours and the city government had dis- tributed free coal to 60,000 poor tamilies. Soup kitchens have been opened in Vienna and President Miklas har appepled to Austrian bakers te sup ply free bread to these food centers Most Balkan capitals are in similar straits, the prices of food having risen from 10 to 25 per cent. Paris Still Suffers Paris, Feb. 18 P—Continuance ot bl e pitiléas cold in Paris has led the di- rectors of the municipal pawa ahop to decide to restore to their owners, without charge, such pawned arti- cles as blankets, shawls, scarves and overcoats. A bright sun this morning brought little relief in the temperature. Paris remained in the neighborhood of five above zero Fahrenheit, while the Riviera got the full force of the in- clement weather with a six-inch snowfall at Nice and a temperature of 13 at Antibes. At Rheims the thermometer fell to 9 below zero Fahrenheit and Dijon reported ¢ below. Nat Minacid Helsingfords, Finland. Feb. 13 & —The Danish and Swedish govern- ments aproached the Finnish govern- ment today seeking a loan of one of Finland's four powerful ice-breakers for use in keeping the channel open to the north of Denmark. Finnish exporters and ship ownerr tavor the idea although detailing on« ice-breaker may mean allowing Hel singfords to freeze up temporarily. It is fcared otherwise that Baltic Sea navigation may be frozen to 2 complete standstill, REPARATIONS EXPERTS SPARE TIME FOR TEA (Continued from First Page) perts committee on reparations at its meeting today. Presentation of Germany's side of the reparations problem by Dr. Hjalmar Schact yesterday laid the basis for much, that will follow in the sessions of the committee. The first German delegate was suave and skilful and plausible. He sought to show that Germany's prosperity is more apparent than real. The German people, he con tended spend more on pleasure but do not live so well in their homes as in the past. He warned against generalizations based on Berlin or the other large cities frequented by tourists, stating that they were not truely represen- tative. Experts Not Convinced Surface indications are that the experts admire greatly Dr. Schact's ability to marshal argument in his favor, but that they are not con- vinced. The committes probably will be engaged for some time in checking his figures and scrutinising the facts presented by him in sup- port of his thesis. The committee has decided to is- sue no regular communications .0 the prees. Statements will be issued from time to time, it is sald, as the circumstances warrant. The German delegates appeared well ahead of time and with arms full of portfollos, crammed with papers. This was regarded as in evi- dent preparation for questions from other delegates following presents. tion of the German case yesterday by Dr. Hjalmar Bchacht, Reichsbank president. Dr. Schacht has taken the position that Germany cannot maintain the payment schedules lald out under the Dawes plan. As usual J. P. Morgan attracted the most attention. The delegates maintained the greatest discretion before their meeting today and had almost nothing to say. WOMAN GIVFS HER LIFE TRYING T0 SAVE GLASSES Feminine Drummer Perishes When She Re-Enters Burning Hotel Sceking Spectacies Brattleboro, Vt., Feb. 13 (UP)— Trying to save her spectacles cost Mrs. Theodora Chase of Kittery, Me., her life here last night when firc virtually destroyed the Princess Apartment hotel. After escaping with about 110 other persons from the burning building, Mrs. Chase, a traveling saleswoman, re-entered the hotel to get her glasses. Her body was found later on the second floor. It with double pneumonia, Wil- liam Gimblin, 75, was carried out by firemen after suffering from the ef- fect of smoke. The other occupants escaped unassisted. The fire started from spontaneous ccmbustion in the basement of the four-story building. 8hortly before. 50 persons had left the Princess theater, a small movie house on the first floor. Fire Chief Harry Whitney, Jr. who was slightly hurt while battling the flames, estimated the loss at $25,000 to $30,000. Y. W. C. A. Board Hears Reports on Activities The board of directors of the Y. W. C A met this morning in the as- sociation building. Miss E. Gertrude Rogers opened the meeting. Mrs. Marcus White,g Miss Louise Noble and Miss Helen Hayes report- ed on the Y. W. C. A. eastern re- gional conference which was held in New York February 6, 7 and 8. Mrs. White reported on _the industrial work of the Y. W. C. A. and how the sssociation is trying to meet this problem. Miss Noble reported on the discussion groups and review- TRITICS B BY GANNA WALSKA Find Her Entertaining But Dis agree on Estimates of Yoice New York, Feb. 13.—M—Metro- politan music critics were agreed today that Mme. Ganna Walska's first New York song recital was an | entertaining spectacle, Estimates of her volos varied. An audience made up of famous singers, society notables and the | frankly curious gathered in Carnegle hall yesterday to listen to the sing- ing of a group of classical songs by the wife of Harold F. McCormick. whose adventures in . search of a musical career have been the subject of widespread comment. Olin Downes sald in the New York Times: “Mme. Walska did almost everything that a singer with a vicious technic could and should not do. Her upper tones were hard and most of them off pitch. Her tone was poorly focused and unsteady. The effect of such singing was not en. hanced by the unfortunate and ob- vious nervousness of the performer. the hitching of her sboulders and certain involuntary gestures by which she betrayed inadequate con- trol of her vocal resources and the |tension under which she was labor- ing. “Her volce is not without pleasing quality; nor is she, as some have claimed, devoid of musjcal sensibility and feeling.” Francis D. Perkins in the Herald Tribune said: “An animated man- ner proved an expreasive asset, but such interpretive effectiveness as ed to no small extent by extra- musical means; vocally there was not much variety of color, and the rest- lessness of her stage manner was somewhat reflected in unfiyent song. but what with this animation and marked attractiveness to the eye she gave & performance often entertain. ing, while not characterized by superior singing.” SENATE REJECTS STANDARD TIME (Continued from Firat Page) cupants of these places step out of them, one idea of the hours in their minds, they will find outside a world with another time." 8enator Lillibridge's objection was that his own bill—passed in 19°6— eliminated confusion whereas- this would, in his opinion, increase ft. Senator Peasley agalm moved the rejection of the bill and when Lieu- tenant Governor Rogers " véte, there wag a strong. jminority objection, but the “ayes" }kd it. Appointmeats Contiemed The senate approved the follow- ing goverror's appointment: Judge L. P, Waldo Marvin, of Hartford; William - O'Conaor, of Norfolk, and Nathan D. Prince, of Hartford, as members of the board of trustees of the Mansfield state training school and hospital. George F. Burgess, of New Haven and Lewis H. Warner, of West Ha- ven, to New Hiven boaYrd of harbor commissioners. Louis R. Cheney, of Hartford; John Pelton, of Water- bury, and Sanford B8toddard of Bridgeport, as Connecticut reforma- tory directors. 8. B.

Root, of New Haven; Morgan B. Brainard, of Hartford, and Isidore Wise, of Hart- ford, as state prison directors. Charles B. Marshall, of Easton, as shell fish comm'ssioner. For Superior Court Governor Trumbull sent three superfor court nominations for re. appointment to the senate—Judg. s Allyn L. Brown, Norwich; Newell 8. Jennings, Bristol, and L. P. Waldo Marvin, Hartford, all for eight years. Willlam A. Hendricks, of New Haven, was nominated for member of the state board of finance nd control; E. H. Wilkins of Fast Hampton, and Herman H.

Walska displayed was attain. | home, will have it. When the oc. ! the bill providiag for a commission of 10 to study the advisabllity of establishing county or district co rts specializing in motor vehicle cases, Minority Has Floor The minority had the floor twice in the menate today; once in the standard time bill fight and again when Senator Bergin rose to “favor the passage of the deficlency bill, but with a few words—as befits a democratic leader—to prevent the appearance of hurrying the bill through.” Senator Christ of New Britain, appropriations chairman, had spok- jen on the advimability of passing Ithe measure, which allots $1,032 256 in deficiencies, calling attention to the fact the house passed it yes- terday. 3 Senator Bergin then spoke. The - blll was passed. 3 Peasley asked that the senate adjourn out of respect to former 8ecnator Charles Treat of Orange, who died early today. A rising vote unanimously passed this motion, at the request of Lieutenant Goveruor Rogers. House Pracedure Eleven bllls were brought in with favorable recommendations in the house. One of these creates town courts in Darlen, Milford, Griswold and Westport. Favorable action was also reported on bills praviding a new method of tax collection, ex- empting the town library at New ington from taxation, providing |rights to taxation, and providing |salaries of $6,000 a year for state auditors of public accounts instead of $15 a day. ‘ The house received a report that all the farmers in the legislature had jmet this morning and elected om- cers. Dr. Walter C. Wood of New Ca- naan was named.chairman and M (Howard Brewer of East Hartford, ‘clerk, It was agreed to meet Wed- nesday and Thursday at which time it is planned to have at: depart- ment heads address the meetings. 1 Thirty-five attended the meeting to- ;day. At the next meeting Tax Com- | missioner Blodgett will talk on *all jour tax billa."” ! Bpeaker Eddy announced, as did Senator Peasley in the senate, that a legislative reception will be given by Governor Trumbull in Memorial hall, state library and supreme court building, on the afternoon of February 26. _— MINISTERS IN SESSION Ninetecn Protestant ministers, the largest gathering the assoclation has ever held, attended the luncheon of the Protestant Ministers' association of New Britain at the 8huttle Mea- dow club yesterday, The address was delivered by Rev.
