Facenda has just recently been released from jail in Worcester, Mass., where he was serving time in connection with another break, enacted some time subsequent to the break in the Fort Neck yard. A warrant issued by the New Lon- don authorities Was awaiting him on his release., The arrest of Facenda followed two years of activity on the part of Captain Edward Roach and Sergeant Caleb Green of the New Haven road police farce, Sergeant Green testified Mq the night of July 19, 1919, he ana Captain Roach encountered three men removing so0ds from a frelght car in the local yards. The railroad police were walking through the yards abous midnight when they lieard & hoise in one of the cars. One ofticer stationed himself at one end of the car, from whence tre sound came, and the other officer crept around the ca. and there found a mman in cha act of re- ceiving gods which were being passed out to lim from someon. within the ear. A 75-pound bag of coffee and 2 200-pound box of candy had been ramoved from the car. When the man wa> was etanding outside the car saw Serzeant Green he starred 1o Tun. Sergeant tireen made a grab at the man as he passed Lut did not catci hold of him. S The ofticer drew his zun and shouted, “Step or Il re” The man did not stop and the officer then zrappled with the man and a tussle followsd. The man hit Green ower the head with 2 blunt instru- ment and Sergeant Green then calld to Captain Roach for help.

Charles Satti, formerly cityfi and now on the rai'roal detective force in Worcester, went into jail cell ad- joinong Facenda’s cell, got info a conver- sation with Facenda and pried out of him the information that Facenda had previ- ously lived in New London. had tended bar in Antone Leverone's saloon, Golden street and had know Victor FredericK, Detective Satti testificl Monday that Facenda had confessed to him ‘hat he had been in on the break in the Fort Neck yard, but that he had moiten away, At- tornéy Thomas E. Troland, counsel for the accused cbjected strenuously to the in- troduetion into the case of any facts col- Attorney Tro- land argued that an officer accosting a man was cbliged by law to inform the man that ke was an officer, and to further warn fhe man hat anything he might say would be likely to be used against him. Prosecuting Attorney Daniel M. Cronin argued that a railroad detestive was not a police officer to that extent, that he had to cation a men before interrogating him. Attorney Troland cailed the proced- illegal and a third degrce method of geiting evidence. The court ruled that the conversation was permissable a8 evidence. A second ciash betwsen the attorneys arose over the question of the condition cf the greight car at the time it arrived in the Fort Neck yard. To rave that the car ar- rived and was received by the raiiroad of- ficils_without the seals being broken, it was necessary for the court to take a cess while Captain Roaca retarned to his offfice, collected some remrds and re- turned with Frederick Wilbur, chie? elerk of the fraight office, who produced re. cords to prove that the car in question ud been received in perfecz condition. A thind clash oocurred wien Attorney Troind clajmed that Prosecuting Attorney Cronin bad told Detective Satti about two vears ago not to bring any more tres- passers on railroad propesiy to him to rosecute, after Detective Batti made an allezed arrest of a person who was mot guilty of trespassing. Attorney Cronin Jumped to his feet to utter a denial and to question Attorney Troland's utharity for ks remark. Attorney Troland sffered to exjlain_the sitvation outside of sourt and fmmediately acoepted the denial and withdrew the quesion. Ruling On Gambling Lesses. Gambling losses: are still deductable on the federal intome tax return, but fonly to the extent of gambling galns. Thus, if a taxpaper wins $1,000 in spec- ulation and later loses $500, he is re- quired to report only the $500 net gain as incmome. If, howsver, he is not al- lowed to deduct these losses from his income. The question of exemptions is still bothering many taxpayers, despite the fact that the annual income tax has been in force for a mumer of years. The of- ficers of internal revenue reguest tax- payers to remember that returns must Dbe filed by all single men whose incame 1hs above $1,000. whether additional ex- emptions wonld make it unnecessary to Pay a tax or not. The return must be filsd in anly case. So also with married men or the heads of families with an income excesding $2,000. Many people believe that because the average exemp- tions for a marriend man squay $2,500 that returns need not be filed unless their income {8 over that amount. This fs not the case. All earners of.income in this class must file a return. if they recelve over $2,000 during the year.

By the change it was asserted by the latter that sick leave with pay, vas cations ¥ith pay, pay for holidays and elimination of Saturday haif-holidays had Dbeen made éffective without agreement on the part of the committeo which had been in conferénce. It had previously besn stated that reduction of ages had consti- tuted anotber phase of the conferences. The rallroad statemefit is to the effect, in its introductory paragragfhs, that prior to federal contro} tte rates of Ppay, hours of serfvice and working conditions were fixed as the result of miutual understand- ings. Under this arrangement clerks were pald 0 na weekly basis. ‘They were not pald extra for overtime except under un- usual conditions, nor for work performed on Sundays and holidays, says the state- ment. It was the common practice tc relieve them from work on Sundays and holidays except under an emergency oon- ditfon. In consideration of the non-pay- ment for overtime work théy were grant- &d certain privileges in the way of sick leave and vacations, all dependent wcon the general status of the work in the of- fice employed. These were [privileges in mutual exchange for certain extra re- quirements as to service from time Federal eontrol changed all this. The rates of pay of clerks were put uvon a daily basis and the daily basis was as- certained by multiplying. the daily rate By the ntumber of days of the clerks assizn- ment per anmual dividing by 308, the lat- ter representing the basic year's work. By this provess a clerk with an aiverage as- signment of 363 days had hig daily rate increased very materially for the 306 days. If he continued to work 365 days he was paid for the days in excess over 30§ on the basis of the daily rate established 1t wiil therefors be noted that all griv. lleges as to Saturday half-h8liday, Sun- day and holiday work, vacations and sick leave were capltalized and put Into the daily rate. The clerks and the management failed to agree as to the continuation of these bases of pay and working conditions as established by the foderal railroad admin- istration. The dispute was submitted to the United State Raiiroad Labor beard under the transportation act and that board has definitély disposed of the ques- tion of Saturday half-holidays and pay for Sunday and holidays not worked by deciding that eight hours shall constitute @ day and that there shall be no pay fc services not rendered.

SEMI-BOOM CONDITION IN = LONDON STOCK EXCHANGE London, Feb. 20.—(By the A P)—A semi-boom condition prevailed in the gilt- edged section of the stock exchange to- @ay. Huge orders were exequtel as soon as the market opened and others poured in throughout the day. The recent recfiction in the discount rate of the Bank of England and U. S. rates, the withdrawal of the government's five-per cent. treasury notes and recent reports of trade conditions apparently swere responsible for turning the attention of the inveeting public to the gilt-edged section. War joans, consols, home rails and other good yleling securities wers the most active and prominent in the upward movement, which extended to a smaller extent to foreign bonds.
