Alderman Miyn he had often works department improvements and he had learned through experience that council members do not always get what they want from the board. Alder- iman Johnson wanted to have the matter considered in the form of an amendment but Mayor Quigle replied that it could not be so con sidered in view of the fact that the $100,000 resolution had already been passed. Mayor and Johnson Tilt Alderman Johnson, being out of order, appealed to the poration counsel for an opinion but the mayor banged the gavel and or- dered the council to proceed with othier husine The alderman re mained standing, - however, and asked that he be accorded the “same privilege that was given the councilman from the sixth.” The mayor assured him that he could have the privilege, and the alder- man asked if he might address the body. “After this other business has been disposed of,” the mayor told him. Instead of addressing the council, however, Alderman Johnson pre- sented a petition asking that streets he and Alderman and others wanted repaired, tended to. The matter was referrcd o the board of public works with- out comment and Alderman Johnson did not address the council Action Means Spectal Tax The council's action in voting th $100,000 street fund note issue brings to a conclusion another step towards providing money for str work.

CHURCH BAZAAR PLAN CONSIDERED Methodist Men’s Club Discusses Arrangements for Event 21 P he: Plans were practically completed [at the first meeting of the 1930-31 season of the Trinity Methodist |Church Men’s club, held last night at the Trinity M. E. church, for the bazaar all organizations in the church are working for, to be held in the church basement on the aft- erncons and evenings of November 12, 13 and 14. The men’s club will be in charge of the ice cream, shoe shining, hot dogs and groceries de- partments, and will assist in the erection of the booths. President Edward Kraus of the club opened the meeting, following a luncheon, and then turned the meeting over to-the pastor, Rev. William H. Alderson, who was un- expectedly requested to introduce the speaker, Rev. Richard Hegarty, pastor of the First Methodist church of Waterbury. Rev. Mr. Hegarty wi the Methodist church in Rockville Center, L. I, at one time, and he devised a plan for the operation of |the annual bazaar so that the church cleared §4,850, where usually between $600 and $700 a year was raised. He explained the plan, which was to have several organizations in the church secretly compete against each other for ten months prior to the event, in securing funds and have each make a report on the final night of the bazaar. The com- petition was so keen, he declared, that everyone in the town assisted, and a sum that assisted the church work materiaily was the result. Rev. Mr. Hegarty spoke on “Some Men Whom I Have Met.” He described an irritable man whose ride on a train was made miserable by two women, onc who wanted the window up and one who wanted it down, until finally he asked conductor to put the window up until one woman died and then put it down until the other died. | Mark Twain was his next man | whom the speaker had met in litera- ture, and he told a story of Twain's ability to speak extemporaneously upon any subject. A story about the present king of England, taken from an episode while the present king was the Prince of Wales, illustrated the adage “if we could ser our- selves as others see us.” A touching story about Abraham Lincoln was told, and an excellent resume of the Shakespeare play, | “Hamlet,” given. A wealthy |erank was described, this man be- ing a member of Rev. Mr. Hegarty's congregation in a Long Island pas- tora Herbert Spencer and an in. | cident. in his life completed the talk. | = | Losing Schooner Leaves | For Nova Scotia Waters Gloucester, Mass., Oct. 21 (P— i Captain Angus Walters of the fish- ing schooner Bluenose, who strove unsuccessfully to conquer the Ger- trude L.

In New York city, where the tem- perature was mild in comparison to that in the northern part of the state, the thermometer yesterday registercd a low of 35.5 degrees, making the day the coldest October 20 on record. The high mark of the day was 50 degrees. Caterpillar tractor plows forcing their way through snow three to four feet decp opened roads in the Buffalo area that had been snQw bound since Saturday, thus reliev- ing threat of a food and milk short- age in nearby towns. The snowfall was general through northern New York and northern Pennsylvania. Motorists caught in the blizazrd on Saturday were forc- ed in many cases to seek temporary sheiter until yesterday when roads were finally opened. Telephone and telegraph communication in many towns was disrupted. The cold spell was general throughout the east, with frost for the first time this season covering a wide arca.

WADOD WANTS WHEAT FOR POOR Says Hoarded Grain Ought Not Be Fed to Cattle New York, Oct. 21 (UP)—William G. McAdoo, former secretary of the tieasury, has proposed that the farm board’s 60,000,000 bushels of surplus wheat be used to feed un- employed persons this winter. “I note constant suggestions that since there is a shortage in the corn crop the surplus wheat can with ad- vantage be fed to cattle,” said. “Why human begin | “The farm a food board, using the money of the taxpayers of the United States, has bought some 6 000,000 bushels of wheat, which it is holding presumably for a higher price. This can come about only through a general lifting of the price level for wheat. Certainly there is no prospect that the govern- ment will soon be able to market its holding of wheat at a higher price or even at the purchase price. Why then should it be hoarded instead of being used for the benefit of the people? “When congress reconvenes in December, the first thing it ought to do is to authorize the use of as wuch of this huge wheat store as iay be needed to feed hungry and d human beings during the coming winter. It will be a vesty if deserving, but unfortunate pec- ple are permitted to suffer hunger or starvation because the govern- ment hoards more than 60,000,000 bushels of wheat bought with the people’s mone: FOR BEST RESULTS USE HERALD CLASSIFIED ADS | Shoe A golden opportunity price is— $2 kid, were formerly pr 64 West Main St. dreds of men after a 24 hour battle | highways | the smaller | McAdoo | not feed this wheat to | wear an A or B last, sizes 4 to 7 or grey kid strap pumps—these shoes were priced at from $9.50 to $11.00—their present 1930 East Still Faces Cold Wave; Western New York Roads Opened REAL ESTATE MAN TRIED FOR MURDER Case Heard in District of Colum- hia Supreme Court Washington, Oct. 21 (P —Herbert M. Campbell, Virginia real estate dealer, came to trial today in the District of Columbia supreme court, charged with the murder of Mary {Baker, navy department clerk. Miss Baker's body was found near Arlington National cemetery on the morning of April 12. She had been shot three times and choked to death. These grim facts were the basis on Which a hundred conflicting theories and developments have grown, until the case is, perhaps, Y~ashington's most puzzling murder mystery. The case against Campbell, so far as is known, rests largely on the statement of two ballistics experts that from his .32 calibre revolver | were fired the shots found in the girl's body. The experts arc Dr. Wilmer Souder of the bureau of standards and Calvin Goddard, of Chicago. Defense Has Experts The defense, however, will count- Albert H. Hamilton of Auburn, New York and his son, Robert A. Hamil- ton, who assert as emphatically that Cempbell’s gun did not figure in the slaying. Campbell himself is responsible for the theory that his gun was used in the murder and is responsible also for direction suspicion to himself. He delivered the weapon to officer: telling them he suspected an itiner- ant painter, Herman Barrere, of stealing it about the time the girl | was killed and then returning it. | Barrere was arrested in Montreal. After he told his story he was no longer a suspect but a prospective witn Campbell's arrest follow- ed. The case is being tried in the I trict of Columbia because Miss Bak- er's body was found on government property.

It was re- ported it desired to question him about a list of hoodlums scheduled for arrest as vaghants, which disap- peared from the detective bureau and later were found by federal raiders under the pillow of a hench- man of Alphonse Capone. Cited For Contempt The jury went into the case of |George (Red) Barker, alleged rack- eteer yesterday, and before it had finished John Sheridan, Jr. secre- tary-treasurer of the’Coal Team- sters’ union, was cited for contempt on a charge of evading questions about Barker's release from Pontiac reformatory after serving part of a sentense for robbery. Barker re- cently was returned to Pontiac for violating his parole. The treasury of Sheridan’s union, according to State’s Attorney Homer Dodge, furnished $11,000 in attor- ney's feets for Barker's release on a habeas corpus action at Peoria last year.
