R 4 b} PERMANENT WAVE SPECIAL From Today to the 3ist Our Own_Method $8 Eugeno Method $10 Extra Charges BEAUTY SHOP GARRETT INQUIRY CONTINUES TODAY Pensioning Probe Needs Addi- tional Powers From State Boston, March 19. (P —With the shadow of unconstitutionality hang- ing over the investigation of the pensioning of Oliver B. Garrett, former Boston police officer, until the legislature acts on Attorney Gen- eral Warner's request for additional powers, the public hearing will be resumed today. The joint committee on rules will act on his proposal tomorrow morn- ing. The request, following the re- fusal yesterday of counsel for Al- fred Brissendon, brother-in-law of Mrs. Garrett, . to testify on the ground that the hearing was uncon- stitutional, was forwarded by Warner to Governor Allen and im- mediately transmitted to the legis- lature. Additional time, money and authority was asked. A sensational disclosure of bank deposits by Garrett and his wife totaling $122,959 during a seven- year period featured yesterday's hearing. During that time his salary rose from $1,800 in 1923 to $2,100 in 1929 and his retirement on half | pay last October. Brissendon, foreman at a dairy | farm at Hingham once conducted by Mrs. Garrett, failed to answer the call to the witness stand yesterday. William H. Shea, his attorney, arose and stated that Brissendon had de- clined to attend on his advice on the grounds that the proceeding was unconstitutional. Within two hours Attorney Gener- al Warner forwarded a message to Governor Allen requesting the granting of additional time, money and authority. PAINTINGS ON VIEW ATINSTITUTE HALL Works of New Britain Artists on Exhibition Here The opportunity to view the paint- ings of artists whose work has hung in national academies, important galleries throughout the east and the paintings of a promising new- comer is afforded in the show of three local women artists, Margaret S. Cooper, Grace C. Vibberts and Virginia Hart Low now being con- ducted in the newly decorated gal- lery of the New Britain Institute. Mrs. Cooper exhibits 14 oils, Mrs. Vibberts 14 and Mrs. Low eight. The vans” by Mrs. Cooper has been exhibited in the National Acad- emy show in Philadelphia, while more of her paintings shown here together with several of those of Mrs. Vibberts were shown recently at Morgan Memorial in Hartford. Mrs. Low makes her first bow in public exhibition although long known for her artistic talent. “Kent" by Mrs. Low, is a pleasing canvas with a tree of interesting composi- tional design against a background of snow and purple hills. *“Edgar- town"” shows a charming cottage, 1n that place, bathed in sunlight. “Frozen Brook” shows how little is necessary to complete a good picture. Trees, snow and a brook are woven into an interesting and well painted effect. Mrs. Cooper’s treatment in “Ham- burg Cove” is very pastel like and effective. The coloring is subtle and the high quality of her work is shown here. Barns, boats and water combine to make a fine pic- ture “The Old Bridge,” “Boothbay" and the *“Morgan Homestead” are typical of this artist's individual style. Mrs. Vibberts gives in her bold individual manner “Summer Sky," “Winter” and “Frozen Over” un- questionably heading the list of her pictures here. The first is a vital scene of a di: pastures, the last two as the names imply are winter subjects handled in a pleasing manner as to both color and composition. The exhibi- tion will continue until March 29. Public Health Service Works on Ginger Cases Providence, R. 1., March 19 (P)— The United States public health service, through its bureau of food and drug inspection, has taken a hand in the “Jamaica ginger paraly- sis” cases appearing here within the last week.

AMERIGANS WORK T0 SAVE PARLEY Submit Points for Arbitration in Naval Conference Stalemate London, March 19 (#—The Amer- ican delegation to the naval confer- ence, sticking persistently to its slo- gan “never say die,” met today to discuss among themselves the Fran- co-Italian parity stalemate, It was understood that Ambassa- dor Morrow and Commander Harold Train, technical experts who have been specially working on this situs tion which threatens to cause at least partial wreckage of the conference, sibmitted ideas which they thought might afford the basis of discussion between the two Luropean neigh- bors. Schemes May Die It is possible that these schemes will never see the light of day. The difficulty is said to be that the Amer- icans could not with propriety volun- teer their services as mediators be- tween Italy and France, although the American delegation is understood to be hoping to be invited to intervene by one or the other of the two par- ties. Observers say that the big problem now is to get the French and Ital- ians to face each other across the conference table. Neither has budged from its original stand, Italy for na- val parity with France, which France will not concede. What the other delegations now want is to get the French and Italians to discuss any one of numerous schemes which have been figured out as a basis for possible compromise. Prime Minister MacDonald and A. V. Alexander, first lord of the admir- alty, had lunch at the American headquarters today and it was as- | sumed the Franco-Italian situation | came under survey. The Americans present were Secretary Stimson, Am- bassadors Dawes and Morrow aud Senator Reed. Flurry Over Report During the day there was a flurry over a report printed by the Daily Express that there had been a breach of harmony over matters connected with the American-Japanese negotia- tions. The prime minister was repre- sented as having taken Secretary Stimson to task for allowing an al- leged misleading impression to cir- culate that Tokyo .was ready to ac- cept a settlement proposition and that there was likelihood of a three- power agreement should the Franco- Italian problem prove unsolvable. An American spokesman charac- terized this as “simply foolish” while Prime Minister MacDonald specially directed the British spokesman to deny the story. The spokesman told newspaper men that the report w: “absolutely and gratuitously false.” Another report circuated by a British news agency that Ambassa- dor Matsudaira had called on Secre- tary Stimson to warn him of an im- pending rejection by Tokyo of the American terms and to give notice of Japanese counter-proposals also met with emphatic American denial. Did Not Discuss Point As a matter of fact, it was au- thoritatively stated, it was Senator Reed and not Secretary Stimson who met the Japanese ambassador and they did not discuss the question of Tokyo's approval or disapproval of the Japanese-American delegations agreement. They discussed the Fran- co-Italian situation, the Japanese be ing interested from an informative viewpoint. Tokyo's reply, is was surmised in American quarters, will be in by the latter part of the week. No surprise will be caused if the Tokyo govern- ment should ask its delegation to try for more 8-inch cruisers which, it is forecast, would be refused by the Americans. Tokyo would then be informed and the opinion is express- ed in conference circles that the Ja- janese government would not be in- clined to push the matter further. BAY STATE BOOK REVISION BEATEN {“Banned in Boston” Likely to Remain as Stock Phrase Boston, March 19 (UP) —"Banned | in Boston" apparently will continue | to be a stock phrase. © A well-organized campaign to lib- | eralize Massachusetts’ book censor- | |ship law ran smack against a stone wall of opposition in the house of representatives yesterday The senate bill under which a book would have been considered as a whole and under which it. would not be possible to ban a book merely | because it contained one or more isolated passages considered obscene, | was so revised by the hour that the | censorship law will remain practi- | cally in its present form. An amendment striking out the important *considered as a whole” section of the senate bill was adopted by the house, which then proceeded} to pass the bill to be engrossed by a vote of 121 to 89 after fiery debate. | /The current law, permitting the banning of a book containing even a | phrase or sentence considered im- moral, has resulted in recent years in the removal from local bookstore shelves of many works, some of | them world famous. e | FINED FOR TAKING PHEASANTS | Torrington, March 19 (P—Josepn Grustas, 17, and Frank Kaczynski, 16, both of.
