FRIENDS GONFIDENT MAGINTOSH RIGHT Adberents of Yale Prolessor Hope to Win on Appeal New Haven, June 25 UM—Adher- ents of Prof. Douglas C. Macintosh, Dwight prefessor of theology in the divinity school, zaid today they ssured he would be admitted te citizenship by either the U. 8. cir- cuit court of appeals or the supreme court despite his unwillingness to take an oath that would make him defend the country in other than “just wars.” Confident of Victory Dean Charles E. Clark of the Yale Law school, who appeared for the professor before Federal Judge War- ren B. Burrows here yesterday and Prof. Jeremiah Davis of the Divinity school, who was a character witness for Prof. MacIntosh, both said that the appeal from Judge Burrows' de- cision denying Prof. Maclntosh citi- zenship would be taken “with the expectation of winning.” Their implication was that the motive of appeal was not to make a test case of the matter. Dean Clark said full emphasis would be laid on the difference be- tween the views of Prof. MacIntosh and Madame Rosila Schwimmer, who was recently denied citisenship by the supreme court. Womaen Is Pacifist “Madame Schwimmer is an avow- ed pacifist,” said Dean Clark, “and is active in advocating her doctrine, whereas Prof. MacIntosh is neither a pacifist, as evidenced by his war record with two nations, nor an ac- tive disseminator of pacifist opin- ifon. His stand is purely a matter of conscience.” Prof. Davis said that Prof. Mac- Intosh's position is virtually that of the Kellogg peace pact and that, in eftect, Dr. Mactatosh says tha€ in . case of another war, which violated the terms of the Kellogg pact, he would refuse to bear arms. MILLIONAIRE AILS YOUTHS OF SLUMS Hopes Program Will Cut Chi- 0ago Crime by One-Hall Chicago, June 25 A—Most of the| time the goid coast forgets the ghetto, but sometimes it remem- bers, and then it does something fine for its gang-breeding brother. Because he remembered, L. L. Valentine, one of the many mil- lionaires who live with crisp Lake Michigan before them and the fetid slums at their backs, is going to give his life and his millions to Chicago’s boys. Down in La Balle street, among the big banks and brokerage of- fices, he has opencd an office to direct his philanthropies in person, through the Chicago Boys' club. He hasn’t any children of his own, this 64 year old wholesale dealer in boyhood, who started life in a little Illinois town, the son of an immigrant rose to head a great furniture con- cern. “I've always and they like m haps that's why I've taken this way of disposing of my money, instead of something in stone. “Mrs. Valentine and I have dis- cussed the matter thoroughly, and we have decided that since we made our wealth in Chicagé we should give it back there. We know of no better way than of seeking to make its future secure by build- ing manhood in the present. What better monument could any man ask ? “These boys in congested dis- tricts—often the only playground for hundreds is a single vacant lot. Is it any wonder they grow up to become gangsters? “It isn't enough to give only money. There must be an invest- ment of personal interest, agsswell. T have opened this office for that purpose and T expect to be every bit as busy and get just as much pleasure out of serving boys as I ever did in business.’ Valentine started in his new job with an initial gift of $350,000 for the first 25 club buildings which the organization plans for congest- od districts, part of an $8,000,000 campaign aimed to serve 50,000 boys. Its work now includes a summer eamp, workshops—most of the “graduates” become skilled work- ers—gymnasiums, swimmin pools, game and reading rooms, and play- grounds. exclusively for the boys “back o' the yards.” In five years it hopes, through Its program, to slice Chicago crime record in half. liked youngsters, DIES FROM BURNS New Haven, June 256 UP—God- frey Dunscomb, aged 80. a retired Ne wYork broker whose clothing was set afire yesterday while he was smoking, died today.

The suspicion that the suicide who was taken from the “Lock Shop pond” at 6 o'clock yesterday mora- ing was Max Heinech was found true last evening when Mrs. Ella Richard, an employe in a rooming house of Mrs. E. E. Clerkin at 313 Main street, identified him as ome of the boarders. It had been his custom to come to this section of the country every year during the summer montha. jpent much of his time in Utica, N. Y, where he was last employed. The New Britain police and Under- taker Frank P. Dufty are still wall- word frem the police of that city. In a telephone conversation with Mrs. Clerkin today Mr. Dufty lear- ed that Heinech was a man of quiet dispesition and never confided tn others ‘any information abéut hrm. self or his history. Mrs. Clerkin believes he has no relatives. No funeral arrangements have been made. Money Due Him At Mill Chief W. C. Hart of the pelice Pz s department today received the foi- | lowing letter from Chiet Timothy D. McCarthy of the police department of Utica, N. Y.: “Relative to your telephone communication of even date, regarding the body of one Max Heinech, recovered from a pond in your city, wbuld say: Upon investi. gation we find that one Max Hein. ech, answering the description you give, did work at the Oneita Mills, this city, from April 22 to May 21, 1929, and roomed at 209 Pearl street. There are two pay envelopas still at the mill for him uncalled for, one amounting to $17.13 and the other for $5.92.~ His fellow workmen stated that he acted very peculiar and at times appeared to be demented, so much so that they let him go, fearing that he would get injured in the machinery. Mrs, Casler, who conducted the rooming house, stated that he was a Protesi- ant and attended both the Method- ist and Presbyterlan churches, but never mingled with anyone, nor told any of his business other than stat. ing that he had no relatives In Utica, and he also mentioned the fact that he was a 8panish War vet- eran, that his home was somewhere in Massachusetts but did not say what city, Up to the present writ- ing we have been unable to locate any of his relatives.” 105 Underweight Girls Go to Fresh Air Camp For the next two weeks, 1056 un- derweight girls from the city of New Britain will have the advantages of- fered at the fresh air camp under the auspices of the New Britain board of health. The girls left today at 1:30 o'clock under the supcrvision of Miss V. B. J.ogan of the Welfare department. At the end of two weeks they will return to New Britain and another sroup will take their place. Bome of the more needy children will at the camp for an additional two weeks in the open. There will be the same ‘number of children at camp during the entire season. The camp hus been in operation for a number of years and has been greatly appreciated by the children and backed by the men of the city. MARRIAGE INTENTIONS Applications for marriage licenses have been filed by’ the following: Gerald Bergeron of 470 Arch street and Marie A. Laverdiers of the same addre: Francis E. Higgins and Mae Z. Bowles, both of 91 Farming- ton avenue; Edward D. Farley of 59 East Main street and Elvera P. Bloom of 63 Connecticut avenue. GOSIDER THE JUOE GROOM %0 the small map. Washington, June 25 P—A bil- lion dollar, 10 year job—the build- ing of a second canal to link the At- lantic and Pacific oceans through Nicaragua—Ilooms as the next tre- mendous engineering task for Uncle Sam's government. ‘With congressional approval of the project, President Hoover was empowered to take the preliminary steps for the huge engineering feat with the appointment of a joint army-civillan commission of engi- neers to make a survey. The chief executive advocated the canal in his conferences with the presidents of Nicaragua and Costa Rica during his South American good will tour. The Nicaragua canal will be 183 miles long, three times the length of the Panama waterway. Coms pared to the 50 mile length of the Panama canal, the proposed Nica- ragua route is 113 miles by land and 70 miles through Lake Nicaragua. However, the water supply on the Nicaraguan route is much greater than that of the Panama canal, which, the engineers believe, will mean that fewer impounding locks and works will have to be con- structed. Lake Nicaragua has a watershed of 12,450 square miles as compared . [t0 1,320 square miles of Gatun lake, the chief body of water on the Pa- nama canal. The Nicaraguan route would start at the Atlantic énd at Greytown and y [run along the San Juan river, which is 50 miles long, to Lake Nicaragua. It would pass 70 milés across the lake and then the engineers would encounter their most difficult prob- lem—piercing the Cordillera moun- tains of the centinental divide for some 70 miles with a waterway deep enough to carry the largest steam. ers. The Pacific ocean would be reachéd at the harbor of Brite The commission is expected to while it can travel by boat along the 8San Juan river and acroas Lake Nicaragua, it will strike an almest impenetrable jungle for the last stretch over the mountains to the Pacific.

The canal would take the route laid out by the Isthmian commission of 1901 (above). Its relation to the Panama Canal over the difficult terrain. Although the Panama canal is 133 miles shorter from ocean to ocean, it is estimated that there would be a great saving in time for much inter-oceanic commerce in passing through the Nicaraguan water way because it is ot more direct lines of sea travel. Through a treaty ratified February 18, 1916, Nicaragua granted the United States the right to construct the canal and the Central American republic was to receive $3,000,000. Goodriches File Suit To Clear Old Mortgage | An action to settle the title to a piece of property on Arch street and a judgment declaring a mort- gage null and void, has been brought by Frederick H. Goodrich and Hen- rietta Goodrich of this city against the New Britain S8avings Bank and Building association, a defunct banking corporation. Attorney E. T Ringrose represents the plaiftiffs and the action is returnable in the bity court the second Monday in July. Constable Francis served the papers. The plaintiffs are the owners in fee of the property and the de- fendants claim an intercst in it by virtue of a mortgage deed from Henry Gceodrich of the New Britain Savings Bank and Building assocja- tion, for $1200 dated Sept. 13, 1886. No payment on account of the debt secured by the mortgage has been made by the plaintiffs or their pre- decessors in title, for a period of more than 17 years next prior to the date thereof, according to the writ, nor has any other act been perform- ed by the owners of the propert; within said period of 17 years, in recognition of thée mortgage as a valid lien. ‘The defunct corporation wound up its affairs in 1862, according to a deposition by Attorney Ringrose.

The question of serving intoxicat- |ing beverages in American missions in foreign countries has long been a debated one and many letters of inquiry have been received at the state department from dry law ad- vocates on the subject. Hughes Ruled “Yes” Charles Evans Hughes, when | secretary of state, stated in a let- |ter to a United States senator that he considered the privilege of Ii- quors being ° served in American missions abroad to be one within the rights of the diplofats. Mr. Hughes argued that the Vol- stead act did not prohibit the use of intoxicating liquors legally ac- quired. Since the liquors which are |served in American embassies and legations are legally acquired, their use, he contended, could not right- fully be prohibited by this govern- ment. ing to letters from private individ- uals since that time has followed a aimilar trend. The department also has pointed to the case of the Cunard Steamship Co.. Ltd., vs. Mellon in 1923 in which the su- preme court of the United States held that the term “territory” in the phrase of the dry act meant “thedregional areas—of land and adjacent waters over which the United States claims and exercises dominion and control as a sovercign power.” Believes Question Answered The department has believed this ruling and subsequent rulings ap- peared to dispose of the question of applying the dry measures heyond the territorial limits of the United States. No information on the subject has been received by the depart- ment from Mr. Dawes. 8o far as is known here officially. this would be the first instance in which an American diplomat abroad had de- cided to not serve any intoxicating beverages im” his mission. It was emphasized, however, that some diplomats might have foregone their privilege without having {made public announcement of | their action.
