The man is Paul Lamont, a citi- zen of Belgium and a former master of languages at London university. The prison is Devil's Island and its associated penal colony of St. Laurent De Maroni, in French Guiana. 8ix years ago Lamomt, now 78 years of age, had finished a 40 year sentence for forgery and was a free man. Today he is more surcly a prisoner than at any time during his 40 years of servitude, according 0 a report to the Belgian ambassa- dor at Washington by W. E. Allison- Booth, American, who himself has Just returned from the French pe- nal settlements. Alison-Booth landed in Los An- geles after shipping half way around the globe in order to get back to the United States. He was second officer on a supply steamer plying between New York and tropic prison colonies. On his last trip from the United States to Devil's Island and St. Laurent he was left behind at the latter point, and spent three months awaiting the arrival of the next steamer. During his three months at St. Laurent he became acquainted, he said, with many of the thousands of men who are “not allowed to live, not allowed to die” in the equatorial prisons, including, ac- cording to his statement, Paul La- mont.

VALENZUELA FACES REBELLION CHARGE Former Minister to Great Britain Accused in Mexico - Mexico City, Feb. 14 (M—Cam- paign activities of Gilberto Valen- zuela, former minister to Great Brit- ain and presidential candidate to- day brought charges against him of fomenting rebellion. The charges were as vehemently denied by his adherents as express- ed by those opposing him, who la- belled him “Captain General De Crieteros”—Captain general of “Cris. teros” referring to the insurgent movement in Jalisco. “Cristeros” is derived from their battle cry, “Vivo Christo Rey,” or “Long live Christ King."” Meanwhile publication here of a speech delivered Saturday by Valen- zuela at Hermosillo, Sonora, gave some background for the charges against him. 1In that speech he bit- terly attacked the government of President Emilio Portes Gil, but even more strenuously he attacked former President Calles. Valenzuela declared he was not directing his campaign for the presi. dential nomination of the national revolutionary party so much against Ortiz Rubio and Aaron Saenz, his opponents as against Calles. (The former president has repeatedly sald he will not make the race for the presidency.” Accused by Comgressmen The charges against Valensuela were made in a meeting late yester- day of the mixed congressional commission, a cemmittee of con- gressmen which functions in national emergencies when congress is in recess, and which met to consider events following the Toral execution. A deputy, Gonzales Santos, charg- ed that Valenzuela had invited some military commanders to revolt, think- ing them weak minded enough to do %0, and he declared that the for- mer minister was preparing his re- bellion for “soon.” Then he warn- ed that the government was pro- pared to put it down when it did start. Benator Lauro Caloca replied in defense of Valenzuela, declaring he was 80 strongly entrenched in public favor he did not need to start a re- velt. The meeting was a stormy one with frequent attacks on the Catho- lic clergy interspersed. It ended after the congressional committee had de- cided to foster a demonstration 8unday in favor of the government. All labor unions and social organi- zations will be invited to participate in a manifestation intended to show the people’s indignation at the attempt against the president’s life last Sunday. Among the congratulations receiv- ed today for his escape Sunday was & cablegram from Queen Mary of Great Britain, 124, WORSE AND WORSE Mother: “Jessie, how could you tell auntic that she was stupid? Go and say you are sorry.” Jessie: “Please, Auntie, I am sorry you are stupid.”—Passing Show. Bristol News LARCENY CHARGES MAY BE CHANGED Absence of Judge Delays Cases of New York Men HOPE FOR NEW SCHOOL Staflord Section Voters Comsider Avallable Sites — Mrs. Katherine Judd Dies = Eavelope Game ‘Worked—Bristol Briefs. The cases of Manuel Arande, 26, cf 113 West 118th street, New York city, and Marshall Rovis, 34, of 21 West 119th street, New York, will be disposed of some time this afternoon, according to statements made this morning by Chief of Police Ernest T. Belden and Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Robert J. Stack. Due to the absence from the city this morn- ing of both Judge William J. Ma- lone and Deputy Judge Joseph M. Donovan, the postponement was made necessary. ‘The two men, when presented in police court Wednesday morning, were charged with larceny. It is believed, however, that this charge will be changed to one of theft when the men are put to plea later today. Arande and Rovis were arrested Tuesday afternoon by Policemen Aldie Brault and Joseph Strup after they had, accerding to the police, attempted to work the “suit case game” in the clothing store of J. R. Mitchell and Son on Main street. They are charged with having worked the same game successfully in the store of Robert W. Harris, Inc., on January 29, making a get- away with two suits of clothing valued at $80. The men have been identified by James McCarthy, a clerk in the Harris store, as the ones who called at the store on the date in question and purchased a small item of merchandise which necessitated a trip to the basement. While one of the men accom- panied McCarthy, the other re- mained on the main floor. Shortly after they had left, McCarthy dis- covered that two suits, which he had just unpacked, were missing. Both Have Records Both men have police records, the investigation of Detective 8ergeant Daniel McGillicuddy who returned from New York city last night dis- closed. Arande was arrested in New York city on December 1, 1 for petty larceny and on Decemb 24, 1926, was sentenced to two months in the city prison. He was again arrested for the same offense on April 22, 1927, and four days later was sentenced to six months in the workhouse. He again ran afoul of the law in Passaic, N. on February 18, 1928, when he was arrested for larceny. The disposition of that case was not ascertained. The New York police department records disclosed that Marshail Rovis was also known as James Hall. As Marshall Rovis he was arrested in Norfolk, Va., en March 1, 1928, for the sale of drugs, for which offense he was sentenced to three years in the Atlanta peniten- tiary, Georgia. As James Hall, he was arrested in Baltimore on Sep- tember 15, 1924, for the Chester, Pa., police for larceny and under the same name he was arrested in Balti- more, Md.. on Beptember 25, 1926, also for larceny. The disposition of the last two cases are not available.

Following a discussion, a second committee, con- sisting of Carl Mahannah, chair- man. and two other voters of the district were named to solicit prizes and bring in definite recommenda- tions at a special meeting which will be held within the next ihree or four weeks. The site which moat of the vot- ers favored last cvening is owned by Alexander Harper and located on Farmington avenue a shert distance cast of Mine Brook.

From the de- ed that the visitor last night is the same one who victimized a clerk here about two months ago. As in the previous instance, the stranger walked into the store and asked the clerk to give him a ten dollar bill in exchange for a handtul of change. He placed the bill in an envelope, which he then sealed, while the clerk prepared to count the money. The count, however, dis- closed the fact that there was but $9.75, whereupon the stranger ex- pressed surprise and without hesita- tion handed the envelope, which ap- parently contained the ten dollar bill, back to the clerk. He then took his departure with the explanation that he would return in a few min- utes with the necessary quarter to mwake up the ten dollars. | When he failed to return the clerk became suspicious and opened the envelope, only to find that it con- |¢ tained nothing but a blank slip of paper. While he was counting the change, the stranger had switched envelopes, pocketing the one con- | taining the ten dollar bill. ¥ To Play East Hartford The Britsol high school basketball | team will play the East Hartford high quintet in the local gymnasium Friday evening, February 15, This |1 will be the third meeting between the two quintets, each team having won on its own floor.
