Oriental Firm Plans Big Colony Of Japanese Farmers to Raise Cotton, Nuts Camp Hospital and Store! Established to Look After Needs of Workers’ Families. Belem, Para, April 15 () — Wa- schiro Fukuhara, organizer and manager of Companhia Nipponiea ¢ Plantacoes do Brasil, has a vision ——that-of a great colony of Japanesc in this state growing cotton, cocoa, rice and other products on farms of 60 acres each. One hundred and fifty families | are being brought yearly from thej crowded islands of Nippon to the virgin forests of this state and started on an independent life. Fu- kuhara in November, 1928, secured a concessions here of 2,500,000 acres | in five different parcels. One is of slightly more than 1,- 000,000 acres, another 1,000,000, and three smaller tracts are of 25,000 acres each. Only the first two have been deflnitely located; the others are to be located within two years on unoccupied lands in the regions specified in the concession, which, in general terms, is similar to that granted Henry Iord for his rubber plantation. The company is using local labor as well as Japanese in the devel- opment of its property, and three Brazilians, an engineer, a banker and an attorney, have financial in- terests in the company. The first Japanese were brought from a large colony in the state of Sao Paulo, but now they are coming regularly from Japan by direct steamer via South Africa. Opens Hospital At Acara, where the first devel- opment is going on, there is an cx- perimental farm and here the new scttlers buy their land, paying a percentage down and the remainder over a period of years. Cotton is envisaged as the principal crop at Monte Alegre, while at Acara rice, tobacco and cocoa are the principal crops. The first step taken 2t Acara was the cstablishment of a camp hospital with four physicians on duty. The center of the Japanese com- pany’s activities is at Thomeassu, twelve hours by launch south or this city on the Acara river. To this point the river is navigable for vessels up to 200 tons. The center of activity is the company store, where merchandise is sold only to employes at prices lower than the usual run, this acting as an induce- ment in securing Brazilian labor. At the hospital two physicians are on duty and four Japanese nurses. Medical treatment is given to all who apply, whether employcs of the company or not. Houses for the colonists are about five miles from the river, away from the malari section, and half a hundred have been built, each accommodating one family. Nearly 30 miles of roal have been built, 18 fect wide, and seven bridges. Fukuhara believes that cocoa is the most promising crop and hopes that 3,000,000 trees will be planted Within two ycars which will bear, two years later, a total of more than 4.000 tons. Silk wormg, already an important industry in Sao Paulo, “vill be another activity of the Jap- anese, as well as the production of two kinds of Brazil nuts. The company plans to markei the crops of its colonists, retaining 30 per cent as its commission. FIRE BOARD THANKS NOBLE AND FIREMEN Expresses Appreciation of Their Services for Two Years Chi:t William J. Noble and the entire personnel of the fire depart- ment, Mayor A. M. Paonessa, the common council, other municipal de- partments and the public in general were extended the appreciation of the board of firc commissioners in a Iétter sent to Chief Noble last night. It is gencrally expected that last night's meeting was the last the board will hold as a unit since the administration of which the board was a part came to an cnd at noon today. As far as is known this is the first {ime a retiring board has writ- ten a letter of this type. It was signed by the four members, Chair- man Jamea J. Butler and Commis- sioners Harfy A. Beckwith, Charles T. Dehm and Angelo Tomasso. . The letter follows: “William J. Noble, Chief, “New Britain Fire Department “Dear Sir:—The board of firc commissioners, upon completion of two years in the service of the ci ! takes this ocgasion to cxtend to you, and through you to the entire per- sonnel of the fire department, its appreciation for the courtesy and co- operation which has been shown the commissioners since they took of- fice, in April, 1925, “The fire department has been managed, we believe, as well as it is humanly possible for any branch of the city government to be conducted During this period of successful existence, it has been the pleasurc of the four members of the board to play a part, but we realize that with- out a cooperative, efficient and con- scientious department our adminis- tration would have been doomed to failure. “As chief of the department, you have played a very important part in dirccting the battle against firc loss. You have becn signally suc- cessful and the City of New Britain should feel a debt of gratitude to you. We wish you many ycars of continued success in this important branch of the municipal service. “It has been our pleasure to watch the department in active service on several occasions and we join with the general public in offering our commendation to this branch of fearless men who put aside all con- and Silk In Brazl cern of life and health to fulfill the duty for which they arc not ade- quately compensated. “As is the case wherever the human element enters, we no doubt have made mistakes, but they have been honest mistakes and, fortunate- ly, none have been of serious nature. “Tonight marks the last meeting of the board. As we meet to part, we wish to give expression to a sense | of gratitude to Mayor Paonessa, the officers and men of the department, the common council, other muni- cipal departments, and the general public.” ol Substitute Ranks Complete | With the appointment of four men last night the list of substitutes is | now complete. The new appointees are Alforsus B. Cockowska, 28, of 119 Smith street; James T. Me- Carthy, 23, of 365 Church street; Peter Fallis of 133 Tremont street; and James A. Toomey, 22, of 154 West Main street. The resignation of Cyril Connolly from the ranks of substitutes was received. He has been named a supernumerary policeman. The only other matters to come up at the meeting were reports of the chief, assistant chief, master me- chanic and electric superintendent. Mrs. Helen R. Keough, clerk, was authorized to bill the town of Berlin for two fires during the past month. BRITISH SHARES DROP IN PRICES, Budget Figures Cause Slight| Market Depression Today London, April 5 (R—Government securities declined a quarter to one| per cent in a general depression of gilt edged securities on the market this morning. The depression was| ascribed by brokers to increased tax- | ation by Chancellor Snowden in his| budget message to the commons yes- terday. g Stock cxchange members, while extolling the debt redemption pro- posal in the budget expressed fear that the increase in the standard rate of income tax will affect the ifivestment business. Brewery shares, which might be | affected as a result of the increased tax on beer, held steady, since it had been cxpected the tax would be higher. Tobacco shares strengthened considerably on the basis of having escaped any further taxation. Reten- tion of the silk duties led artificial silk shares to appreciate some. Lack of change in the McKenna duties had a good cffect on various motor shares. Moeller Heirs Lose One | Action Against Estate | New Haven, April 15,—The eforts of the nine children of Constand | Moeller, wealthy saloon owner and | beer bottler, to obtain a distribution of $400,000 not provided for in his| will, were made futile yesterday by a decision of the. county supcrior court. 1 A sccond action is pending in which the children protest payment | of $6.000 cach to the four trustees | as a consideration for a year's work. | The complaint alleges that since | Moeller’s death $412,000 has been | paid to the heirs and $284,000 in| trustee's fees. Each of the children has received approximately $45,000 and each trustee approximately $70,- 000 for his services. | Large Pimples Caused Much Embarrassment. “About a year ago pimples broke out on my face and neck. They were ugly large, red pimples which They festered and the skin around them was inflamed. The pimples made me nervous and I scratched them, causing them to spread. “I tried several different remedies but all in vain. Ihad the trouble about nine months when I tried a free sample of Cuticura Soap and Ointment. I thought it helped me so purchased more, and after using them continually for about three months I was completely healed.” (Signed) Miss Annamae Baker, 10 Oct. 8, 1929. intment 25 and 50c.

SAN MARINO HOLDS USUAL ELECTIONS Tiny Republic Jealously Guards Its Independence San Marino, April 15 (®—The smallest republic in the world, San Marino, has just held its election with the traditional ceremonics of its ten centuries of freedom. For the next six months Commen- datore Manlio Gozi and Commenda- tore Marino Lonfernini will guide the destinies of the tiny statc under the title of captains-regent. They were elected in the public palace | presence of the regency, | or council, and then escorted to the | Basilica Del Santo, to receive the blessing of the church. And thus the republic of Marino goes on every six months | perpetuating its rights. Completely | surrounded by Ttalian territory, the San Marinese have stubbornly clung to their political liberties. While Italian cities around them have given up their right to elect their own. mayors and are governed by podesta appointed by the central government, San Marino twice a year clects its own governors. Chosen From Council The San Marinese select their two captains-regent from the sixty eld- ers of the great council. This is composed of nobles, landowners and burghers or ordinary citizens in equal proportion. The captains-re- gent are assisted :n governing by a small council of twelve members selected from the great council. The small council acts also as supreme court. Italy has been carcful not to in- fringe on the liberties of the 33- square mile republic. Since the kingdom of Italy, in 1562, shortly after its own foundation, guaran- teed the independence of the repub- | lic by the act of March 22, cach Italian government has been as tact- | ful and cautious in its dealings with the diminutive republic as if it hadl a powerful country like France or Germany within its borders. When the World War began San Marino declared its neutrality, and maintained it all the time Italy was at war with Austria and Germany. Like the republic of Switzerland it was entirely surrounded’ by the | brunt of war but was itself un- touched. The republic maintains | its own little army for policc pur- poses, : San Marino is somewhat out of | the way for American tourists, with the result that nine-tenths of Amer- icans visiting Italy fail to scc it. Jt| is perched on seven hills or moun- tains, The town of San Marino, whose population approaches 2,00 —the ‘population of the republic is about 15,000—is perched on the higest, Mt. Titano, 2,437 fcet high with precipitous sides. The freedom of San Marino arises monastery around which the town started. In the tenth century \hc)" formed a free commune. The Pope | recognized the independence of the | republic in 1291. Many attempts on its freedom were made in the mid- dle ages by the lords of neighboring Urbino, Monefeltro and Rimini. The last attempt was as recent as 1853. these trials. ! | COUNCIL APPROVES PURCHASE Hartford, April 15.—Common council last night gave the puhlu'} building commission authority to buy | automobiles for the municipal gar- | age without recourse to the board of | contract and supply. It refused, how- | over, to give the fire board permis- sion to buy hose at a cost of not more than $8,000 without recourse to the board of contract and supply.
