C. Hart and all officers and detectives of the New Britain police department, were held this morning at 10 o'clock at St. Mary's church for Policeman l3dward Carroll, 29, of 34 Francis street, who died suddenly at -his home Saturday night fromi a heart attack induced by acute indigestion. Whil the elements poured rain upon the stalwart shoulders of New Britain's guardians of the peace, the cortage left his home at 9:30 o'clock. At the church, a mass in. white vestments was offered in place of the usual requiem mass in black vest- ments. Today is being observed as the feast of the Annunciation and no requiems can be said throughout the Catholic world. Rev. Thomas Lawlor was cele- brant, Rev. Walter Lyddy was dea- con and Rev. John T. Connors was sub-deacon. Rev. Matthew Traynor, pastor, attended in the sanctuary. Organist John J. Crean, a lifelong friend of Policeman Carroll, direct- ed an exceptional musical program during the services. As the body was borne into the church between two rows of Dblue-coated policemen forming an aisle up the front steps of St. Mary's church, the strains of “America’” arose from the organ. The Kyrie, sang by the choir, was taken from Millard's Mass in G. The “Gloria” and “Credo” were adapted from the Missa de Angeles. Gou- nod's “Sanctus” was sung by Organ- ist Crean. The Benedictus and Agnus Dei were taken from Millard's work. At tlfe offerotory, Miss Kathleen Walsh sang “Ave Maria.” At the communion, “Some Sweet Day” \vas tolled on the organ chimes while at the incensation of the bier, Organist Crean tolled “Nearer My God to Thee.” At the conclusion “Taps” was ved on the chimes and then sung v Mrs. Mary T. Crean. The body left the church to the strains of Gricg's “Flee as a Bird.” A platoon of regular policemen in charge of Sergeant Kdward M. Kiely, escorted the body to the grave in St. Mary's cemetery. The platoon was composed of Anthony Pechoutz, William Temple, Henry Zajkowski, John Aiudi, Joseph Gu- towski, Lovines E. Johnson, Joseph Gigliotti, Edward Muszynski, Cor- nelius Keough, Walter Wagner, John W. Riley, Charles Weare, Bugene Kieffer, Anthony Ustach, John Smi- gel and William McMurray. The pall bearers, members of {he regular force, were Stephen Coffey, William Cronin, William O'Day, Clarence Kumm, Ernest P. Bloom- quist and John O'Keefe. Tather Lyddy officiated at the In- terment services at the grave and | burial was in St. Mary's cemetery. JUDGE REFUSES T0 MAKE BATTERSON AND ALLEN SPEAK (Continued From TFirst Page) awer. Judge Jennings called on the state's attorney to make a state- ment to the court giving the reasons why he thought that Mr. Allen was not within his constitutional rights. Mr. Alcorn proceeded to say that Mayor Batterson was head of the police department and it was his duty to enforce the laws, yet he had allied himself with a bootlegger who was violating the law. Judge Jen- nings interrupted to say that that was net answering the question and Mr. Alcorn proceeded to say that he wanted to make it clear that Mr. Allen was not within his rights in claiming that to answer the ques- tions would be to incriminate him- self because, Mr. Alcorn said, in the event that there should be'a prose- cution against Mr. Allen for con- spiracy to violate the prohibition laws, the statements he might have made before the grand jury could not be used against him. Judge Jennings took a recess for | ahout matter vened 10 minutes to consider the and, when court was recon- he again called on Mr. Alcorn 170,000 PEOPLE WITH DREAMS LIKE YOURS-- ARE findfng the way to their desires through the In- vestors Syndicate Plan.

Mr. Alcorn replied that the mayor owed it to the city, the state, the nation, to assist in law enforcement. By appearing before the grand jury, he waived his privilege of refusing to testify and now that he had given some information as to the violation of the liquor laws, he should be compelled to give it all. Mr. Alcorn pointed out that day |after day in the police court, “poor | creatures without friends or money” {are fined and jailed for violating jhe | liquor law but now the mayor of the | city of Hartford comes before the |grand jury and admits that he | participated in a violation of the 18th amendment and then appeals to the court for the protection of the same constitution. This report. Radph O. Wells, foreman of the grand jury ,in the proceedings brought by the special grand jury through State’s Attorney Hugh M. der to compel both Mayor Batterson and Mr. Allen, who have been Wit nesses before it, to answer certain questions, the nature of which was unknown until the case began in court. Bootlegger Named “Murphy” The name of the bootlegger given in the report was Murphy. The grand jury, which had had a session just before court opened, made its report to the effect that it had failed to secure more details of the liquor transaction from Mayor Batterson and Mr. Allen. The jury asked the court for necessary authority to de- mand the desired testimony from both witnesses. Declined to Incriminate Self Mayor Batterson had refused to name the “frlend”™ through whom he had bought liquor, reference to which had come into the testimony taken by the jury. Mr, Allen de- clined to give the jury any informa- tion on the ground that to do so might incriminate himself. Argu- ment by counsel followed as . to whether Mr. Allen should show that his testimony would incriminate himself or whether the state's at- torney should show that such testi- mony would incriminate Mr. Allen. The grand jury report was to the effect that Mr. Batterson, as mayor of the city, was head of the police department and was therefore un- der special obligation to give the jury any information he might have as to liquor sales. The jury's report to the court said: “If the mayor as head of police department may furnish protection to his favorite bootlegger by his re- fusal to testify there is no apparent reason why any other police officer on the force should not in like man- ner furnish like protection to his favorite bootlegger; if protection may be properly so furnished, there is no evident reason why such pro- tection should not be purchased. Corruption in the police department consists in the purchase of such pro- tection A short recess was then taken be- fore the court was ready to rule on the plea that Mayor Batterson he required to name the ‘friend” through whom he had made a pur- {chase of liquors. CURB OPERATIONS SHOWING ADVANCE Buoyancy of Big Board Missing —Ticker Falls Behind New York, March 25 (#—Opera- tions for the advance went forward with vigor on the curb market to- day, but there remained a distinct tendency to take profits on advances, and this-market failed notably to develop the buoyancy of the “big board.” Trading was in large volume, the tape falling several minutes behind the market, but'was not proportion- ate to the hectic activity on the larger market. The curb remains a leading market for new securities, and as new financing remains at a low ebb, activity ‘on this market is correspondingly curtailed. American Cyanamid Rises American Cyanamid “B"” was sent up more than 2 points in active trad- ing to new high ground for the year, and Deere new stock rose 3 to the best level for this issue. Agnerican Chain and A, O. Smith penctrated further into new high ground. Aluminum Co. seld up several points in a moderate turnover. Fokker Air- craft, a firm spot yesterday, en- countered considerable profit taking in response to rumors that the 1929 earnings report would be rather un- satisfactory. | Oils continued to climb, but at a somewhat reduced rate, Standard of Indiana got into new high territory above 57, and Humble Was in fair demand. Gulf turned rather dull. Cities Service was again active but failed to break out of its recent narrow trading area. nited Gas Feature The United Gas issues were again active featurcs of the utilities, the ‘Iold,utuck selling up to record levels around 45. Llectric Bond & Share held a couple of points below its peak of the year. Consolidated Gas of Balti- more sold up moderately to new high ground. Transcontinental was a strong fea- ture of the investment trusts, rising a couple of points to new high ground. Guardian Fire was a soft spot in the specialties, dropping to a new low for the year.

Ticker Falls 45 Minutes Behind, Forcing Some Profit Taking — Many Reasons Given for Up- ward Swing of Prices. New York, March 235 stock market started out on a wild bull rampage today in which a nundred or more stocks were lifted to new high records for the year. So great was the volume of trading that the ticker fell 45 minutes be- Ihind the market, the delay inviting sufficient profit taking and short | selling to vinterrupt, but not com- { Pletely check, the advance by early |afternoon. Extreme gains in the active issues ranged from 2 to § points, but at the end of the third llo}xr scores of .stocks had dipped a point or two below their early highs, Many Reasons Given Passage of the tarift bill by U. senate, lowering of the money rate from 4 to 3% per cent and reports that operations of the | United States Steel corporation were being maintained at 80 per cent of capacity, the first time in three weeks that they had not shown a decline, provided the background for the upward movement. Short cov- ering also was an important factor in the advance, particularly in some of the high priced specialties of which there is a small floating supply. the While the call money rate dropped from 4 to 51; per cent, indicating the passing of the strain incidental to the | heavy mid-month _ federal income | tax. dividend ang interest payments, time money rates held firm, All |dealers advanced bankers accept- |ances 1-8 of 1 per cent after having made nine successive rcductions of | similar amount. | The rapid advance in the market, accompanied by unbridled specula- tion in some of the pool specialties, led to advices of caution and profit taking by several of the leading commission houscs, Ofls Rise On Production Cut Revival of speculative activity in the oils was based on unofficial esti- mates of another sharp reduction in crude production last week and the prospects of higher crude and gaso- line prices. Standard Oil of New Jersey and Houston, with gains of 3 points, were the leaders of that group. Foster Wheeler, A. M. Byers, Worthington Pump and stocks of other companies which manu- facture pipe and _oil machinery ad- vapced in sympathy. Despite the fact that the Febru- ary rairoad earnings statements now | being published malke unfavorable comparison with last year, selective | buying continued in the railroad group. Chicago & Kastern Illinois issues moved into new high ground on unconfirmed reports that the Van Sweringen interesth had acquired the Thomas Fortune Ryan estate hold- ings in that road. Union Pacific, Wa- bash, Frisco common and Lehigh Valley also moved into new high ground. Peoples Gas Riscs Peoples Gas ran up $ paints {0 a new high at 230. Vanadium Steel jumped 5 1-2 points to a new top | at 124 1-2, which contrasts with the year's low of 49 7-8, but met heavy profit taking at that level. Bullard Co., Newport Co., American Can, Air Reduction, Colorado Fuel, Eastman Kodak, Union Carbide, A. M. Byers, Foster Whegler, Worthington Pump, Ward Baking preferred, McClellan Stores and General Railway Signa} all moved into new high ground on gains ranging from $ to 6 points. Among the many other issues to reach new high ground were Ameri- can Telephone, Bethlehem Steel, U. *S. Steel, American Bank Note, Checker Cab and American Power & Light.
