Hickey, the case of Max Honeyman, local automobile dealer, will be nolled in superior court. Honeyman was sentenced to jail for 60 days by Judge John L. Bonee in | Hartford police court last month on the charge of attempting to in- {timidate Michael Delaney and Abe | Shimelman, officers of the Builders Mortgage Corporation, of Hartford, | by writing letters to them threaten- |ing to have them “taken for a ride” land filled with bullets because they pressed him for payments on a loan. |, Honeyman denied the allegations and took an appeal, through Judge William F. Mangan. It is under- stood that State's Attorney Hugh M. Alcorn, after an investigation, was not satisfied that there was a case against Honeyman. ford men were written on a type- writer, and experts were engaged to determine whether the machines in Honeyman's local offices had been used to prepare them.

Station WDS New Orleans, wave length, 850 kilocycles, and will endeavor to prove WDSU performs a more satisfactory service than “Hello World,” which is known as KWKH. Henderson's counter to this action was to apply for unlimited use of the 850 kilocycle wave length which he now shares with station WWL. Supported Al Smith “Hello World” and its band were notable among the adherents of Governor Alfred E. Smith during the 1928 presidential campaign. Hender- sod urged Smith upon all voters within reach of his 10,000 watt sta- tion. the governor's candidacy, he was be- laboring chain stores, to which he attributes many faults and no vir- tues. There were protests that Hen- derson’s style of expression was not suited to acrial dissemination. The commission Monday also will begin hearings on application for 50,000 watts of power from stations in the second radio zone. Hearings on first zone applications were com- pleted yesterday after a statement of commission policy which will pre- vent most of the stations from ob- taining the increased power owing to the former's insistence that distribu- tion of high power stations must progress slowly.

FURNITURE FASHIONS English oak is fashionable. It is particularly adapted to bedroom or dining room furniture. Substantidl and permanent, it requires rich carvings to reveal its heauty — floral and linen folds, in the spirit of the 17th century. Cherry—our own American cherry—has risen to rival maple as the wood medium for simple Colonial types of furniture. The results are delightful pieces — in perfect taste, rich in tra- dition, sound in style. Probably the most popular of period furniture at pres- ent is Queen Anne—and it has every appearance of continuing to be. Its sim- plicity of line is suited to any type of home. But its graceful, curving lines pre- vent its being too dignified and formal. The shell motif, swell front, tear drop han- dles, simple hardware, and cabriole legs are details to add an air of distinction and comfort to the most humble cottage or the most formal mansion.
