He was arrested about 9:50 last night by Officers Cosgrove and Tunkunus on complaint. Officer Cos- grove testified that Castis was intox- icated and when being taken out of the house he used vile language to- wards his little girl. Attorney Thomas J. Cabelus asked for leniency, peinting out that a fine would be a hardship on the en- tire family, and although Castis was intoxicatéd he did mnot strike his wife,or othérwise: offend. ‘Escape Contempt Penalty Jehn Roman, bv, of 121 Whiting street, had judgment suspended on the charge of breach of the peace, and the same disposition was made of tha charge of contempt of court in the“¢ages of his wife, Mary, ¢5, and his deughter, Sadfe, 16. or - Eugene Kieffer testified that_He ‘and Oficer Peter Cabelus went to- the Remano home last Mon- day might on complaiat of Romgno’s son, and found Mrs. Romano out- side' the house. Bhe was brought into ‘the. Housé by the oMicers and whild- €Ne -case was. being investi- gated the -son came in and the father flew into a rage a. sight of him. The officers learned that about an heur before their arrival, Ro- mano had thrown a pitcher at his wite and it crashed through a win- dew, When asked his reason for his action, he said it was his house and he could do as he pleased in it and to it. He acted like a maniac when arrested, Officer Kieffer said. Mrs. Romano testified that the trouble arose over a dispute about the taking of an automebile by the son. In reply to Assistant Prosscut- ng Attorney - W. M. Greensteln's question as ‘to her reéason for ab- senting herself from court after a subpoena had been served on her, did not wish to testify ‘Hhusband. Sadie Romano tegfified that her fsther told her not to go to court because more trouble would result it she and her mother testified, She said she realited she should ha obeyed the summens. Judge Baxe advised Attopney Angela M. Lacava to impress upon Romano the desira- bility of behaving, so that he and his family weuld net become involv- ed in difficulty with the law. He remarked that it was apparent to him that the wife and daughter were afraid to testify against Romano and for that reason they did not respond when summened earlier in the week.

READ WERALD CLASSIFIED AUS FOR BEST RESULTS LENROOT RECEIVES FEDERAL JUDGESHIP Sepate Finally Approves; Name Linked With 0il Scandal ‘Washington, May 18.—(®—Trvine Lenroot, former Wisconsin senatof, is to be a judge of the court of cus- toms and patent appeals. Persistent opposition to his nomination was finally overcome yesterday and the senate voted confirmation. ‘The vote was 42 to 27 and it came only after seven hours of continuous debate by the senate in executive session, with Senator Norris, republi- can, Nebraska, continuing to the end the effort he began during the final days of the Coolidge administration to block the appointment. ‘The nomination of the former re- publican senator to the life-time post was transmitted to the scnate by Calvin Coolidge but was never acted upon. sPresident Hoover resubmitted it carly in the present session in the face of the open opposition that had become evident. Senator Norris based his opposi- tion on the former senator's attitude as chairman of the senate lands committee during the inquiry into the leasing of Teapot Dome naval oil reserve. He also condemned his ap- pearance as an attorney before the interstate commerce committee representing power interests shortly after his retirement from the senate, Senator Blaine, who defeated Len- root for thé republican nomination in Wisconsin two years ago, and Sen- ator Heflin, democrat, Alabama, also joined in the verbal assault on the nominee during the hours of debate immediately preceding the confirma- tion. Scnator Goff, republican, West Virginia, asserted in defense of Len- root that his record as a senator and as an attorney was clear. He con- tended that the nominee's appear ance before the senate committee to argue against the resolution of Sena- tor Walsh, democrat, Montana, for an Inquiry into the utilities com- panies was a legitimate service for an attorney, During the debate, the recurring question whether the doors should be opened for consideration of the womination was brought forth and Senator Black, democrat, Alabant, announced his intention of seeking to end executive sessions during such discussions. A motion to open the doors lost, 38 to 34. A second motion to make that roll call public received a 38 to 36 vote in its favor but Vice Pres- dent Curtis ruled a two-thirds ma- jority necessary and a third vote sus- tained his decree. NEWINGTON NEWS Chicago, May 18 (P—With Al pone “put away" for a year in a Pennsylvania prison, it remains to be seen whether the riddle of Chica- & gang crime has been golved. ‘There were ominous suggestions to- ::: that it had only been intensi. The roost that Capone ruled was not one that the most optimistic po- lice officers believed would collapse merely because its main support was taken away. Even without its chief, the Capone mob remained a potent and sinister threat. The gangsters themselves were not using a brass band to advertise their reaction to the jailing of 8car- face Al but police read several signa, none of which indicated any termination of gang warfare. Successors May Fight There was police speculation over & rumor that a “machine gun elec- tion" was being planned to elevate a new leader to Capone's vacant throne. There were reperts, toe, that rival gangsters, emboldened by the temporary removal of * Capone, were getting ready to seize the “Ca- pone territory,” with bullets and bombs if necessary, and thus make the entire city the “territory” of one rum runnln:-r-cketeerlnx-extorl‘n gang. 3 George (Bugs) Moran, with Ca- pone gone, remains the big man among Chicagoan gangsters now, It was Moran’s gang that was the vic- tim of the s®ptuple murder last Valentine's day—a murder that out- did in horror anything ever before perpetrated in the long years of Chicago gang reprisals. Moran blamed the massacre on Capone’z men, 3 According to Capone's statement to Philadelphia officials, a peace pact between the Capone-Moran gangs and other Chicago mob lead- ers was effected only a few hours before Capone’s arrest in Philadel- phia for gun-toting. There have been peace pacts before, however.

Firing in Carter Elizabethton, Tenn., May 18 (UP)’ —8ix car loads of deputy sheriffs and national guardsmen were in Carter, Tedn., today guarding against further outbreaks following a series of dynamite blasts reported there. According to police records, no one was injured but the blasting was ac- companied by gun fire. The explosions &ere the latest of a series of acts of violence following strikes in the Southern Textile mills. Carter is four miles from here on the Stony Creek road and was the scene yesterday of a near riot in the county court house when 700 Bem- berg-Glanzstoft strikers jeered at of- ficials as they prosecuted 83 of their arrested associates. The climax came late in the day when a striker, Simpson Crumley, shouted at a depuly sherif who threatened to arrest disturbers, “Who the hell are you?" The deputy carried out his threat by arresting Crumley but not until r-ational guard troops forced a passageway for him through the surging crowd with bayonets.

ORDINATION ON MAY 25 Among the 17 young men who are to be ordained at St. Joseph's Cathedral in Hartford on Saturday, May 25, are two who are very well known in New Britain. One is. Thom- as Edward Hayes, son of William 8. Hayes of 198 Brown street, Hart- ford, a native of New Britain and the other is William J. Kelly of New Haven, whe has a large number of 1elatives ia this city, Pa., apparently unhurt. But the brown gas had filled his blood with poison and, unknowing, he had been dying slowly from the time of the explosions. Although Mount 8inai hospital sent airplanes to Toledo for supplics of oxygen, the Cleveland sources be- ing exhausted, clinic physicians said the injured had improved chances of recovery today. They reportad “great improvements” in the more seriously hurt. Mayor cohn D. Marshall issued a proclamation setting today aside as the officisl day of mourning. Several funerals were held yesterday. Thir- ty burials were announcéd for Airest of Capone Intensifies Chicago Gangland Anagosism TAK]G 10 PEN happened to Capone. His arrest, they think, might quite readily be given as an excuse to break the pact, it indeed any excuse were needed. It struck many observers as ironic that Capone, with a score of more serious offenses charged to his in- fluence, should' have fimally beea sent to jail for the first time in his Sang career on a charge of gun-tot- ing; particularly so since he was: one of the few gangaters here who invariably went about unarmed. Every law enforcement officlal here—Chief of Police Russell, Btate’s Attorney Swanson, Frank Jg U. Loesch, head of the crime com- mission, and others—expressed high satisfaction with the apeedy man- ner in which the Philadelphia couris handled the Capone case. May Have Sought Jail Philadelphia, May 18 (M—"Scar- face Al” Capone, sentenced yester- day to one year in jail for carrying a concealed deadly apon, was be- lieved in some quarters today to have sought jail as an asylum from the bullets of rival gangsters. At the brief hearing at which he rleaded guilty it was intimated he had courted arrest and that the ioad- ed revolver he turned over to pelice was carried for that express purpose. The Philadelphia Record said ty- day that his action followed receipt of word at Atlantic City, where he had asked hostile Chicago sang lenders to meet him for a peace Fact, that not only would they re- tuse to meet with him but that he weuld be “put on the epui” and kiiled at the first opportunity.

They were arrested with Villa and Johnson, and admitted to Sergeants McAvay and O'Mara that they broke open the gas meters and took $1 out of one of them, the other having been emptied by the New Britaih Gas Light company. Sergeant O'Mara testified that Se- lectman L. W. Lawyer of 27 Barnet street complained on April 1 that the Hart street house, which he owned, had been entered. There were no families in it at that time and it was found that a window on the second story versnda had been broken to gain entrance. The boys admitted that each took 25 cents of the dollar and spent the other quarter for candy. Mr, Greenstein told the court that ex-Councilman Henry W. Rice, rep= resenting the Gas Light company, informed him that numerous meters are broken into and it is difficult to catch the culprits. Judge Saxe questioned the fathers of the boys and satisfied himselt that they were doing all in their power to keep them out of trouble. He impressed upon the boys that unless they went to work and made themselves useful they would go to the referm- atory and they -veuld receive no consideration at his hands if they persisted in committing thefts and other offenses. Each has been ur- rested for theft before, Joseph Novick, 17, of 27 Deven street, charged with burglary on May 15, 1926, pleaded guilty but Mr. Greehstein ordered the plea changed to not guilty. A continu- ance was ordered until next Wed- nesday in $500 bonds, Novick, according to the police, broke into the Cremo Brewery build- ing on Belden stre¢t and stole a press, and in the cellar of his home were found tools of various sorts, an anvil, two vises .and automobile tires, He is said to have admitte] that the articles were stolen from various places in Newingten, Berlin and New Britain.

Whether it is the President and Mrs. Hoover stopping along a coun- try lane to consume a basket lunch- eon, other celebrities sipping tea at the horse show, or groups of well knoewn folk strolling through the gardens of old Georgetown on a specially arranged pilgrimage, there is & glamor not to be found else- ‘where. Efen with the showers that have fallen almost every d this feature of Washington life is attractive, and late this week Mra. Hoover under- tcok a pilgrimage of her own. She left the White House early in the atternoon and motered with a party of friends to Mount Vernon. Again there was a basket luncheon and the first lady and her friends jour- neyed all over the old mansion and grounds. Mrs. Hoover Relaxes Having about completed the list of officials she is expected to rg- ceive, Mrs. Hoover has found an op- portunity to relax her arduous pro- gram of activities. Mrs. Edward Ev- erett Gann, sister and offictal hostess of Vice President Curtis, meanwhile, is maintaining her Wednesday after- noons at home, and' this week an unusual number of diplomats called. Among her visitors also was a crowd of Philadelphia school girls each armed with an autograph book, and she took time now and then to in- scrbe her name, *Dolly Curtis Gann.” Another of the pilgrimages was to Oak Hill, once the home of Pres- ident Monroe situated near Lees. burg, Va. the construction of the house was superintended by Thom- completed in 1823. Its first prominent guest was General Lafayette. The old mansion holds many relics of its owner while the gardens are filled with plants and' trees from Mount Vernon, Mon- ticello and other famous places that flourished in that time. Luncheon parties engage society at thi on and most of them are entertained on the terrac { coun- |try clubs. But these events are con- sidered far more informal than stch events as the big reception which the Ambassador of Cuba and Ma- dame Ferrara are planning for Mon- day afternoon in celebration of the twenty-seventh anniversary of the independence of Cuba. All of the cabinet, the diplomatic corps and the more important members of so- ciety will congratulate the Ambas- 4ador on the event. Howards Going to New York The Ambassador of Great Britain and Lady Isabella Howard who re. cently returned from a trip to Princeton, N.

A prince can get ex- cited over a horse show, too, and there were no more attractive fig- ures at the show on opening day than Prince Albert Deligne, cousin to the king of Belgium and ambas- sador to Washington, who joined Princess de Ligne and their daugh. ter in applauding their favorites. Princess Elisabeth Deligne rode in several classes. « Visit Georgetown Gardens Groups of notables spent one day this week making piigrimages through the historic gardens of Georgetown, which was a city with 4 customs house befere Washington was feunded.
