NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 1930. DANCER SAYS SHE DINED WITH JUDGE Denies Knowing Missing Jurist —Thought He Was Normal Youngstown, Q., Sept. 24 (UP)— | Sally Lou Ritzi, dancer of “Artists and Models,” gave her own version last night of the dinner in New York at which Supreme Court Jus- tice Joseph F. Crater was last seen. Miss Ritzi denied knowing the | missing jurist personally. Shd said she and her parents were dining with William Klein, theatrical attorney, when the justice entered the restau- rant. Klein invited him to dine with them, and introduced him. “He told us he was going to West- chester for a swim and was going home early because he was going to Maine the next day to join his wife,” Miss Ritzi said. “I had never seen | him before although I learned iater | that my father had met him. “We all talked about business con- ditions, a little about the theatrical business and just things of ordinary interest. The men talked mostly among themselves. Now and then my mother or I would join in, but I was not greatly concerned about | the conversation and took only a casual part in it. “I could not tell whether there was anything unusual about, Judge Crater's actions as I had never seen him before. Apparently he was not excited about anything, for he laughed and talked easily and seemed in a good humor.” Miss Ritzi’s account of the dinner corroborated that of Klein, given a New York grand jury seeking to learn the whereabouts of Crater, who disappeared August 6. COMPOSER PLANS CHILD"S CONCERTS Ernest Schelling Says Paderew- | ski Will Appear in Program Paris, Sept. 24 (UP)—Ernest Schelling, American composer and conductor, sailed for New York on the Tle De France today to conduct | a series of junior concerts with the | New York philharmonic symphony | orchestra. Schelling manifested thusiasm for his coming tour. The programs will be especially con- ceived for children and young peo- ple. “The complete plans are not worked out yet,” he said, “but one program will be based on the his- tory of instruments, another on the fdea that all symphonic music origi- nated with folksongs; another on the history of dance music since the 15th century, another on Beethoven, another on Wagner and others pos- sibly on Berlioz, Franck and De- bussy. At least one program will feature Anglo-American artists. Cities already selected for concerts sre New York. Boston, Philadelphia Minneapolis, Chicago and Newark. “One of the high spots of the venture will be the appearance of Paderewski in an all-Polish concert for children on December 29 in New York. I consider it the great- est possible compliment to me per- sonally.” Schelling appeared ruddy-faced and healthy after a summer on his estate at Celigny on the north shore of Lake Geneva, broken by trips to Bayreuth with Fritz Kreisler and a voyage on the Graf Zeppelin with his boyhood friend, Capt. Ernst Lehmann, in command. Paderewski also sailed on the Ile De France. great en- | Central School Pupils Speak on Citizenship “Qualities of Good Citizenship” was the subject discussed at the as- sembly of the pupils of the seventh grade in the Central Junior high school this morning.

Santiago De Chile, Sept. P — The government today maintained an official secrecy regarding events of the last three or four days at Concepcion, where Sunday an at- tempt was made to bring about a revolution.

It is now learned that names of the two American aviators arrested atter having brought the rebel chiefs from the Argentine here, are given as Edward De Larin and Reid Smith. Investigation is heing made .of their part in this attempt to bring about rebellion at Concepcion.

CANADIAN TREATY Plan Way of Preventing Boats Sailing Withont Lights Washington, Sept (A—A pro- posal for a mutual American-Cana- dian agreement, to strengthen en- | forcement of prohibition along th seaboards and at the same time eli- minate menaces to navigation ma be made shortly by the state depart- ment {o the Ottawa government. Brought prominently to the fore by the Canadian government's pro- test recently against the seizure within the 12 mile rum smuggling treaty limit of the Canadian vessel Fire Light for running without lights, the whole question of coastal navigation may become the subject of diplomatic conversations between the two governments. While department officials con- | sider the American government's ac- | knowledgment of Canada’s protest closed the incident of the Fire Light, it is felt here that some steps should be taken to protect shipping against possible collisions near the coasts with vessels running without lights, whether carrying rum or other com- | modit The Canadian protest was not | made against the seizure of the ves- |sel, since the boat was later releas- ed. The Ottawa government did stress, however, its feeling that the American action in seizing the Ca- |nadian vessel for violation of a do- | mestic American navigation law un- der the terms of an anti-rum smuggling treaty constituted a breach of principle. Coast guard officials have already discussed the question with legal ex- perts of the state department and {have suggested that steps be taken to protect navigation along the coasts. One of the principal diffi- culties which has confronted the coast guard in the enforcement of prohibition is that many rum run- ners ply the coasts without lights and it is believed by coast guard of- ficlals that an agreement under | which a nation would refuse to sup- port the master of a vessel running without lights, whether carrying rum or pot, would discourage tha practice and facilitate the work of enforcement along the coasts. St. Laurent’s Church & A Scene of Celebration Meride: Sept. 24 (@) St. Laurent's church was crowded to its capacity at 10 o'clock this morning when the three-day golden jubilee !rolehrallon of the parish was open- | ed with a pontifical high mass.

TARIFF BODY GETS READY FOR WORK Preferred Goods Will Be Among First for Gonsideration Washington, Sept. 25 (UP)— . President Hoover's new tariff com mission, which opens a series of 11 hearings next month, is giving first attention under the flexible tariff provision to those commodities which received increased protection under the Hawley-Smoot tariff law. Although the commission said jthere was no significance in the | priority given these particular in- | quiries, the manufacturers of the | products concerned will be placed on | the defensive and in the position of defending their new rates rather !than seeking higher ones. The re- {sult may be the first recommenda- tions of the commission will be downward. | In addition, all of the commodities | en which the hearings will be held are among the 60 referred to the | commission for investigation by the senate. Most of the inquiries were asked by coalition members who were seeking to have the rates re- | duced.
