TRINDER NAMED IN PROBE OF SCHOOLS (Continued from First Page) sion’s books and records. Never- otheless it is understeod, at least :m$100,000 of the total half million re- . eeived went to channels that violat- B od the provisions of the federal act. e Trinder is Surprived Mr. Trinder, informed of the ait- uation this morning, expressed sur- standing. The administration of the federal grant was very much ' involved, he sald, and was “one which might give rise to all kinds of situations in a mind not schooled in that sort of thing, no matter how intelligent.” He declared the administration of " the fund, according to the Smith- = Hughes act, was divided into thrce L parts, agriculture, trade and indus- =¢ry and teacher training. Involved Under trade and industry, he said, - was work in home economics. In “this fie'd, he explained, the state had spent a large sum of its own | money over and above the federal allotment because there was a de- mand for such a policy. He refuacd Would “Show Up Graft” Of West lhrtlord Cops (Special te the Herald) Bristol, June 20 — George W. Hull, prominent local realtor and a candidate for the office of mayor in 1911, announced this morning that he would attempt to “show up" the “grafting” procliv- ities of the officials of West Hart- ford insofar as autoists were con- cerned. Mr. Hull was arrested yesterday afternoon near the Hartford reservoir as he was pro- ceeding along at a speed estimat- ed at 40 miles an hour. Mr. Hull stated that he believ- ed autoists were being imposed upon by West Hartford authori- ties, and he expressed the det: mination to take his case to the supreme court if necessary. N R Officer Peter C. Cabelus has re- sumed duty after an illness. Laurel Court, O. of A., will meet Friday at Masonic Temple. A social will be held in the afternoon at 2:30 with supper at 6:30 and the regular meeting at 7:45 o'clock. Sponsored by the women of the Hunter Road mission, a spaghetti dinner will be served tonight from 5 to 8 o'clock in the dining rooms to go further in the matter at pres- {of the South Congregational church, ent, pointing out that he had ms| records on files to refer to and 4id mot fully understand the specific na- ture of the criticism, Governor Governor Trumbull said today “This situation must be rectified. Although the actual damage done may not be very large, it is the < principle involved. The matter has " got to be cleared up, regardless of where or whom it strikes. T am not ~ going ‘o sanction any such business - in this state.”” " Commissioner Hall has taken ateps to remedy the situation at once. He has authorized Ernest L. Bowman, Mr. Trinder's successor, to confine his report to the government for the year 1928 to the actual expenditures for all three classes of work. The result is that the state will receive $20,000 leay than it would get if Mr. Bowman followed )(r Trinder's pro- cedure. . The Smith-Highes act specifies exactly how much the state should spend on its vocational education program to meet the requirements _of the federal grant. Instead of complying with these provisions, it s alleged, Mr. Trinder ‘“doctored™ his reports in a desire to get the entire fund despite the fact that re- quired sums were not spent on part- time trade instructions or teacher training. Well Known Hers Frederick J. Trinder was formerly @irector of the state trade school in this city. He was credited with its progress up to the time he was ap- pointed director of vocational ednuca- tion in the state, when he removed to Hartford. He was removed from office without notice last January, although Dr. E. T. Meredith, direc- tor of state education, declined at that time to offer any explanation. Mr. Trinder resides in East Hart- ~ ford. “YALE AND HARVARD CLASH TOMORROW (Continued from First Page) nounced choice in pre-race calcu- lations. 8ince the strong silent man from Washington took command at New Haven to bring the Elis’ boat out of the doldrums in 1923, Yale has lost only one race to Harvard's varsity. That was in 1927 . when Ed Brown's first product broke the rule jinx and snapped a Imix year winning streak for the ~Elis. Last year Yale retaliated with & 10 length trouncing of her an- clent rival. Time trials and workouts by Yale's lighter and trimmer boat- loads have been impressive. In fact the most reliable information fis that the Crimson’s best time test was not within four boat lengths of the best Eli trial. Nevertheless, Harvard's oarsmen have acknowl- edged power. They outweigh their rivals about seven pounds to the man. The added stamina that this may mean in the long pull up- stream from the railroad bridge to Bartlett's cove is a factor in Har- ~vard’s favor, especially if the water 48 rough or if the weather stays as - hot as it has been for the last week.

T told him I had taken a veronal tablet as T had not been feeling well.
