Umbrellas Mised Up The governors' reception to legis- lators yesterday afternoon had an aftermath in the house today when it was learned that many umbrellas had been taken by mistake, or ex- changed.

Senator Lavery said there was ne support agd no need of the measure. The senate likewise rejected a bill providing for uniform traffic signals on highways and streets, after Benator Lavery declared the police chiefs' association had cov- ered it in agreements for traffic action. Nominations Received The senate received the nomina- tions from Governor Trumbull of Frank A. Hagerty, former mayor and postmaster of Hartford: Sena- tor Joseph H. Lawlor of Waterbury and Frank M.

The gov- ernor also named Mr. Creagh for the unexpired portion of the term ending July 1, 1929, The other ap. pointments would be from that date to 1931, The senate occupled itself more today in rejecting bills than in any other business. Some of the rejec- tions follow: Bill providing for a pension of $156 to disabled war veterans, or their widows and orphaned children. Bill providing for appropriation of $4,000, to be used by the comptrol. ler, to purchase three frame build- ings and ten platforms Niantic.

DRIVER OF BURNED BUS HELD IN BAL Gass Appears in Westerly Court Wrapped in Bandages Westerly, R. I, Feb. 27 (P-- Charged by Rhode Island state po- lice with operating a bus without first securing a license from the state, Daniel A. Gass, of . Medford, Mass., driver of the vehicle that caught fire Monday afternoon near here, causing the death of one man and injuring 17 other persons, pleaded not guilty today in superior court. By agreement of counsel his case was continued until March 22, and he was placed under bail of $15,000. Gass appeared in court with his head and arms swathed in ban- dages and immediately after his ar- raignment he was returned to the Westerly hospital for further treat- ment. Seventeen other passengers who were burned, three of them severely, were reported by hospital authorities as being somewhat better. A. D. Wil- loughby, of Holderness, N. H., is still in a critical condition. His back and head were badly burned. AGED WOMAN GETS COURT' SYNPATHY (Continued from First Page) purchase the house and paid $5,000 down and took a mortgage out for the balance. Finds Pricc Was Reasonable The judge finds that at the time the transaction was completed, real estate here as elscwhere was at peak prices and according to expert testi- mony, the price paid for the house was not unreasonable at the time, although the present value of the house is estimated at $15.000. The income at the time of purchase was $1,848 per year, which the court finds is a sufficient income to cariy the expenses. The court further finds that the plaintift’s testimony did not sustain the claim that any misrepresentation or fraudulent statements were made by either of the defendants, and is unable to find that any fraud was practiced. Idle tenements and gar. ag's, impossible for the plaintiff to sus- tain the burden and on May 25, 1928, she voluntarily quit-claimed th property to Bengston, who claims that if there is anything left of her equity after a sale of the property, he will turn over the money to her. Sale Made in Good Fait; In his decislon, Judge Saxe agrees that the purchase of the property turned out badly for the plaintiff, and particularly the investment, which should never have been made by the plaintiff. However, the most that can be inferred from the plai tift's testimony is that the defend- ants stated that the property would be a good investment at $17,500, the decision reads. This however, was only an expression of opinion and there is nothing in the evidence to indicate that at the time of sale such a statement might not haie been made with perfect good faith. In closing, the judge states that the court is unable to find anything concerning the transfer that would involve the dcfendants in legu liability. 1t is further adjudged that the plaintifft has no estute, title, in- terest or encumbrance upon the premises to which she claims inter. est by virtue of a caveat placed on the property September 14 last, anid | the court deems the caveat cancelled and discharged from record. Attorney William E. Hagearty represented the plaintiff. Israel Nair counsel for Bengston and H. I3, Emanuelson of New Haven repre- sented Danielson. Vermont Woman Appeals Taft Will From Probate Burlington, Vt., Feb. 27 (®)—Ap- peal from probate of the will of the late Elihu B. Taft of this city was taken yesterday by Ellen B. Taft Holbrook, a cousin, of Rutland. She charged that Taft had not been of sound mind and that his will had not been legally executed. Under the provisions of Taft's will, the city of Burlington would receive $100,000 for the erection of a school building on his estate. In the event of non-acceptance by the city, $60,000 would be expended for a muricipal courthouse and $40,000 for a home for aged men.

He had work- ed for Mr. Hoover in the last cam- paign out of friendship for the re- publican candidate and because he believed in the issues Mr. Hoover favored, it was explained. With the selection of an attorney general decided upon, Mr. Hoover was said to be in a position to com- plete his cabinet within a very short time. Although Mr. Mitchell is a democrat, he was represented as ha-ing voted for Charles Evans Hughes in 1916; for President Cool- idge and for Mr. Hoover. The attorney generalship at one time was expected to go to Donovan, who was represented today as being raised against him for this post by certain dry forces and others. He was said to feel he was being looked upon by these forces not as an individual whose capacity for organization and administration were to be taken into account. Mr. Donovan is returning as soon as possible to Santa Fe, New Mexico, to wind up his activities as chair- man of the Boulder dam commis- sion and as commissioner on the Rio Grande commission. On the 4th of March he will retire to the prac- tice of law and sever his connec- tions with the government. Good Is Now Mentioned With the elimination of Donovan for the war secretaryship, the name of James M. Good, of Jowa, was brought forward as a possible choice. Mr. Good was Mr. Hoover's western campaign manager. Mr. Mitchell was born in Winona, Minn,, 55 years ago. His father was justice of the Minnesota supreme court for twenty years. He began | the practice of law in 8t. Paul in 1901. He was regional counsel for the United States railroad admini- stration in 1919 and chairman of the citizens charter committee of St. Paul in 1 He assumed the of- tice of solicitor general in June, 1925. The record of the newly designat- ed attorney general shows him to have been active in Minnesota na- tional guard affairs over a period of years. He is listed as a Presbyter- ian, Mitchell a Democrat With respect to the appointment of Mr. Mitchell, friends of the soli- citor general said that while he had heen a democrat, as had his father before him, he had supported Pres ent Coolidge and Charles Evans Hughes for president, as well as Mr. Hoover. The president-elect had a rather large number of callers today, in- cluding Dante Pierce, Iowa publish! er, whose name frequently has been heard in the speculations about th. post of sccretary of agriculture. C.| Bascom Slemp, republican national committeeman for Virginia has been invited to call late in the day imme- | diately on his return here from ! Florida. Inaugural Points Hoover, in his inaugural addres: is expected to discuss the principal issues in the campaign in which he won to the White House. Among these was law enforco- ment, involving the prohibition and | other statutes, the subject upon which he touched in a number of his speeches from the date of his| notification until he made his last purely political pronouncement at St. Louis four days before his elec- | tion, His opinion as thus expressed was that the purpose of the eighteenth was to protect the American homes: that he wished it |to succeed and that a sacred obliga- Ition was imposed upon the presi- dent to secure its honest enforce- ment and to eliminate the abuses | which have grown around it. With a view to bringing about bet- | ter conditions and enforcements in is administration, Mr. Hoover now |is engaged in the task of selecting a {commission of outstanding men |which will go into the whole sub- {Ject and make such recommenda- |tions as he believes will materially | |improve existing conditions. | 'arm_relief was another of the outstanding issues and the president- | |clect is expected to go into this at! some jength, but to give a more ex- | panded exposition of his views in | his message to the special session |of the new congress which he plans | 10 call for mid-April. Tariff was another subject upon | which Mr. Hoover laid much stress land which also is to be consid«rcd; | during the spring and summer ses sion of congress. He is known fo| wor revision of duties in many shedules, including those applying 0 a number of agricultural products is well as some industrial produc but is oppose? to any general writing of the 1922 act.

She algo denied that the Springfield police had advised her to cooperate with the New York police in this case. Julian C. Lavin, proprietor of the Taft hotel, New Haven, identified Edel as a guest at the hotel on De- cember 31, 1927, and January 1, 1928. He also identified the suitcase in which Miss Lopez said she saw the hammer, asserting that he had seen it in the Taft on January 2, 1928. Tells of Torn Check Mr. Lavin said that on one occa- ision, while Edel and his party were Buests at the hotel, he saw the ac- cused in the lobby tear up a check and throw the pieces in a waste basket. The witness said he later obtained the pieces of paper and put them together. It is understood that the check in question will latep be introduced in evidence. He testified that on January g, 1928, Edel left the hotel without paying his bill and without taking his baggage. Later, he said, he opened the suitcase and saw a metal hammer and a number of othep articles in it. Mrs. Margaret Ufer, of this eity, testified she occupied an apartment next to that of Mrs. Harrington {n December, 1927. On the 29th of that month, she said, she saw the Harrington apartment door was open and later the same day the superintendent of the building found Mrs. Harrington's body.
