POLICENEN YALNTED HOUSE Spring Street Woman Sentenced to Jail Tor 30 Days “Keeping houses of ill fame abso- lutely will not be tolerated in this city,” Judge Stanley J. Traceski de- clared in _-lice court today, as he s -2sed - jail sentence of 30 days on Mrs, Nellie Cunningham 41, after fnding hc- guilty on charges of| keeping a house of 1ll fame and a disorderty house at 69 Spring street. Sergeant P. A. McAvay and Officer: Eugene Kicffer and William Politis described the place as “filthy.” The sergeant said it is known as “the haunted house”, and Officer Kiefler testified that the kitchen was not fit for a dog to occupy, while Offi- cer Politis compared a mattress in one of the rooms with the ace of spades, it was so dirty. Two frequenters, Edward Barron, 37, of 86 West street and Angelo Delsanto, 21, of 201 Hartford ave- nue, pleaded guilty and were fined $5 and costs each. They b noth- ing to say but Sergeant McAvay quoted Delsanto as having admitted giving the Cunningham woman $1 Jast night. When the police broke dovn the door and cntered the house, Delsanto and Mrs. Cunning- jiam were in a bedroom and the (ther frequenter was in the kitchen. Sergeant McAvay was looking tirough a window of tlie tenement | from 10:30 to 11 o'clock last night, | he testificd, and saw four men, two of whom left to get a bottle of li- quor. The language used by the quartet and Mrs, Cunningham was “rotten”, the serge said. # The police have rec complaints that the house was being heavily .patronized Friday and Saturday ghts, among the visitors being members of “The White House gang,” who spend their time about « Main street restaurant, according to the sergeant. Last Friday and Saturday nights, some of them stay- ed all night. The three rooms in | the tenement had the appearance of not having been cleaned for at least | two weeks, the sergeant said. { Officer Kieffer and Officer Politis were summoned by Sergeant Mc Avay for the raid and they testi- fied that the tencment was filthy. Officer Politis said it was “the/ filthiest place I was ever in.” Num- erous beer bottles and pint bottles -yere strewn about the rooms and everything was filthy. A young woman who lives in an- other tenement at the same address testified that numerous men call on Mrs. Cunningham. They come and go at all hours of the night, she said, especially Friday, Saturday and Sun- day. She did not make complaint about it, she said, but was sum- moned to court by Sergeant Me- Avay. Mrs. Cunningham who has been urrested several times ir New Brit- ain and at least once in Newington, during the past year, denfed that she keeps a disreputable or dirty house. She - ks in a local hotel, she said, and on her return home in ihe evening she spends considerable time scrubbing. Yestcrday, she met Barron and asked him to put in a window but she did not know why Delsanto had come to her home. He | was brought there by another man and Mrs. Cunningham said she “gave them the old Harry” when they came in. Explaining her presence in the tedroom with Delsanto, she said the man who brought Delsanto to the house had gone out and she went into the bedroom to watch him for| the purpose of determining which direction he took. As for the bottles which Officer Politis told about, she | said she had brought them up out of the cellar on account of the flood several days ago. “)y man has 5,- 000 bottles,” she said. Questioned by Prosecuting Attorney Woods, she said her “man” is in jail.

Police have searched abandoned houses. deserted sections of the city, dragged lakes and looked carefully through park shrubbery, but no trace of the child has been found. The most general theory advanced both by police and citizens, is that the child has been kidnaped by a deegnerate and, if not already dead, is in danger of being killed.

Herman Meyerfeld was arrested yesterday when he called at the Murphy home and started discussing the William Edward Hick case. He was released after investigation. Possibilty that a woman may have been involved in the case was seen when a neighbor of the Murphy's told police she had seen “an old woman wearing a brown overcoat™” with the child the afternoon she vanished.

EUROPEAN RIVERS SHEEP OVER BANKS tDeath and Destruction as Flood Replaces Bitter Cold London, Féb. 19 (M—Flood ter- rors replaced rigors of bitter cold over a large part of Europe today. The Danube and tributaries swell- jed over their banks and forced many persons from thelr homes. Melting snow and ice caused disas- jtrous floods in Macedonia and ,Thrace. Bavarian rivers overflowed, while rising temperatures in north- ern Italy foreshadowed rapid swell- ing of rivers there. | Temperatures were less extreme than they have been, but in many localities the thermometer had not | |risen to above zero, or freezing, centigrade. | Advices from the Danube district, where ice and snow have been piled |six feet thick over the surface of the river, indicated a worse situation, possibly, there than elsewhere. The !Danube and its tributaries had not only to carry off the huge load of melting ice and snow but faced the hazard of jce dams which spread its waters over wide areas before they .could be broken. | Widespread havoe was reported Ifrom Thrace and Macedonia, where !the Struma and other rivers over- flowed, sweceping away bridges and hundreds of cattle and flooding /homes. A number of peasants were | drownad. Part of the city of Cavalla, site of an American tobacco depot, |was submerged, while Heraclia was transformed into a vast lake with jinhabitants being fed by merchants who plied their their trading boats. ;J“Kfls’u\’ifll’l and German soldiers |cooperated to save lives and prop- | In Bavaria large areas were flood: led by overflowing rivers, the situ- |ation adding greatly to the suffering |from what was still extreme cold. Ice Barricr Grows Meanwhile it was reported from Stockholm that the ice barrier along the southwestern and southeastern coast of Sweden was growing stead- ily, although once-a-day communi- ion being maintained with |Denmark and Germany. Numerous isteamers were still stranded, ice {bound, in the Baltic sound and tha Cattegat. A huge snow storm stopped all train service in southern Swedeu and in some sections’'of Scania inhabl- |tants had to dig their way out of houses through second story win- ‘dows, 80 dceply they were burled. | Continued intense cold has been pre- dicted, ’ Britain’s hope of a thaw has not et been realized although the cold has greatly moderated and at pres- cnt does not exceed what is often {found here. Storms off the Spanish coast did serious damage to the fishing flect. One boat was wrecked and anothes Ibarely made *its way into Bilbau, | while all ing at Almeria was sus- |pended. Asturias province experi- lenced a touch of cold with freezing |temperatures recorded at Oviedo. Spain until now has escaped the |general European cold. | Eleven Die in Paris Paris, Icb. 19 /P—Fleven home- less Parisians who sought refuge from the bitter cold in a house in the Datignolles quarter were found dead this morning from asphyxia- tion with gas escaping from a broken pipe. A twelfth was found unconscious 'but was restuscitated after consider- able cffort. Two mothers in the group were poisoned to a lesser de- gree. 7 Use Airplancs in Den: | Copenhagen, Feb. 19 (®) — Ten Danish military acroplanes have been placed at the government's disposal to comvey 60 members of the Danish lower house of the Dan- ish liament to Copenhagen.

The action was made necessary as a consequence of fce-bound con- ditions in the great belt which sep- arates the island on which Copen- hagen is located from the mainland and other islands of the nation. ‘Settlement of 25 P. C. | For Foundry Creditors i D 'FEBRUARY i3, 1929, - LINER ANBURG _ 24 HOURS LATE Big Stmmship Delayed by Frighte's Disres Signal New York, Feb. 19 (M—The liner Hamburg today reached port 24 hours late, partly because she left her course to go to the aid of the British freighter Crandon, disabled and helpless in & storm 1,000 miles east of Boston last Saturday. The Crandon, bound from Africa by way of the Aszores for Portland, Me,, flashed a distress signal at 7:25 a. m., saying she had partel! her steering chain ina gale and that one man had been washed over- board. Captain Oscar Schwamberger of the Hamburg immediately started for the Crandon, and at noon was 50 miles from the distressed ship. “Do you need assistance to-save crew?” he asked in a radio message. Two houra later the Crapdon re plied: “Thanks for offer. Chain tempor- arily connected. Remain at stop until weather moderates.” Captain Schwamberber sald that after receipt of the message the weather continued to moderate, and as he heard nothing more from the Crandon he prosumed she had con- tinued on her way. The arrival of the Crandon had not been reported today. The atorm that crippled the freighter also damaged the German liner, a promenade deck window was smashed by a wave, and an- other wave breaking on the topsid- amidship, sent water down a ventil ator, ruining several hundred dol- lars worth of books in the book shop. (GFRMANY MAY GIVE TROTZKY DOMICILE (Continued from First Page) sions of secondary import are sum- marized. The Pravda column follows up the announcement of the former red army leader's exit by statements like: “February 17, Comrade Gom- borjan, newly appointed minister from the Mongolian republic, arriv- ed in Moscow. . . . The cenfral ex- ecutive committee has decided to re- name the city named after Trotzky into Tchapavesk.” Izvestia, in a similar column,: fol- lows up the Trotzky announcement with an item that during the past year the Moscow consumers’ cooper- ative cut down expenses to 44 per cent of the previous year's figures. Kombomolskaya Pravda wedges in the statement between Stephan Skortsov's family pension and an announcement of a jubilee per- formance in a little theater. Editorial comment is withheld. Even before the arrival of Trot- zky In Constantinople it was said the government had been approach- ed, unofficlally, as to whether a visa might be obtained for Trotzky to enter Germany, possibly to reside in a suburb of Berlin where he was represented as wishing to write his memories. There are various reasons why Trotzky might not be welcome in Germany. Presence of a large num- ber of “White” Russlan exiles who entirely nation, or some other sort of re- prisal against a man they hold part- ly responsible for their situation, disinclination to foster extreme com- munism with his presence, and fear of complicating a delicate relation- ship with soviet Russia are among these. Ofticial Action Denied Reports at the time had it that might find opportunity for assassi- | the cabinet “# it be known cially to whe the visa might be refused. The !net made demial that official action had been taken, but there was ceasation of Trotzky would spend his exile in Germany, More or less as 8 coincidenco the admission of Trotsky, who is un- derstood here to be held a prisoner, seriously ill, in the Russian con- sulate in the Pera quarter of Con- stantinople, came up at today's ses- !sion of the Reichstag. Communists submitted an amend- ment to a proposed bill on extradi- tion whiech would make action against the authority of the Soviet state not a political offense and hence extraditable, Socialists immediately pointed out that if Trotzky found shelter here Russia might be alrle to extradite him if desired. Erich Koch, min- ister of justice, deelared that the German government would not be a party to such a one-sided attitude as the amendment, Moscow dispatches yesterday re- lated first official announcement of Trotzky's exile. The announcement did not state where the former head of the red army had gone, merely saying that by a deciston of the state political department he had been exiled from the Boviet union for his anti-Soviet activities and that in accordance with his wishes his family had gone with him, London Waits Decision London, Feb, 19 (M—Germany's decision on the purported request of Leon Trotzky to enter that country is awaited here with great interest. Those people of England who con- stantly distrust the Russian com- munists and who would protest strongly any plan to admit Trotzky into England think that the Ger- man cabinet will refuse the refu- gee's request, on the ground that he might stir up bolshevik sympathy and strengthen the communist ele- ment there, Vorwaerts, official organ of the social' democrats, present represen- tatives of the government majority, says Germany cannot afford to re- fuse Trotzky sanctuary to continue his literary activity here inasmuch as the government has the power 6f nipping in the bud his or any othur possible attempts to start an upris- ing. 'Lebrix and Paillard ‘Tunis, Feb. 19 (M—Joseph Le- brix and Secrgeant Major Antoine Paillard, noted French fliers, who are on a trip to Hango, Saigon, left Tunis for Cairo at 10:30 o'clock this { morning, Greenwich time, The men who hope to establish a new record for a flight from France to Hanol, accomplishing it in less than five days, started from Mar- seilles last night and completed their first lap to Tunis in gdod time. Scrgeant Major Paillard has been chiefly interested in efforts to break the long distance flying record while Lebrix is particularly noted for the combined round-the-world | plane ahd ship trip which he and Dieudonne Costes made in 1927-28.

Several sald that two of the five men in the automobile wore police uniforms. Russell Aids Inquiry Police Commissioner William Rus- sell is convinced that no policemen were involved, but he is lending his assistance te the state's attorney's to clear up the mys-ery. It is the commissioner’'s theory that if any of the slayers wore uniforms it was as a disguise. Every squad car that has beeu sold in the last few years is being traced. In this manner, police be- lieve, they may find that the ma- chine used by the murderers was, as witnesses said, a police car, but one that had been disposed of by the department. There are 525 men composing the mobile squads of the detective bu- reau. One hundred were questioned last night by members of the state's attorney's staff. It was not revealed whether any of the several persons who saw thé murder car were call- ed upon to attend the inquiry and attempt identification, The results of last night's ques- tioning was not announced. This was explained to be in pursuance of the state's attorney’s announced pro- gram of “less talk and more work.” All Detectives Quizzed The 100 were interrogated were detectives who were on duty Thurs- day at‘the hour of the assassination. Detectives who were off duty at the time are to be similarly questioned. Just before this new side of the inquiry was started, David Stans- bury, assistant in charge for the state’'s attorney, made another tour of the north side neighborhood in which the killings occurred. As an incident of the tour a poolroom a block from the murder scene was raided and five men arrested, The purpose of the arrests was kept secret, There was a report, which the state’s attorney would not discuss, that a speyial meeting of the granu jury had been called for today, This { was taken as an indication th:t the investigators had snfficient evidence to warrant its imm-~diate presenta- tion, Questioning of detectives was con- ducted in the presence of Chief of Detectives Egan. Squad leaders were charge for the police tomorrow. Javestigators were still searching for Dan McGurn' who is known te police as an expert with a machine gun. McGurn during the past years has twice been marked for assassi- nation, being desperately wounded on one occasion.' Police are certain that the execution of the sven Moran gangsters was the work of & markaman, pointing out that be- tween 20 and 70 slugs were fired into each body, and that only a few hit the brick wall in front of which the victims were lined. Mayor Willlam Hale Thompeon made his first public statement con. cerning the crime yesterday, say- ing: “Representatives of the federal govgrnment, State's Attorney Swan. son and other county officlals, Com.« missioner of Police Ruasell, the po- lice department and city officials are working in close harmony that the people will be given every possible protection against crime.” Thunder does not sour milk, but the same condition of the atmos. pher which causes thunder does sour milk, Wednesd:y's ‘Herald’ For Further Particulars Joha F.
