 The party's program as outlined by Senator Jonnart in his speech ac- cepting the presidency, includes declaration against a dictatorship no natter from what quarter it might come; a policy of reconstruction Of France by unity and hard work; the substitution of the solidarity of the classes for class hatred, and law and order with abolition of the right to strike except for special reasons It is regarded as definite that none of the leaders aspiring to be the suc- cessor of Premier Millerand is in cluded in the new party.

:4~ CCOHt1nued rom Page One.}
 The new building of the Army on Elm street will be opened Satur- day. The rooms are being furnished by donations from the various mer- chants in the city and supply of groceries and wearing apparel have been put in on the ground floor Over two hundred pair of shoes were ob- tained from the Walk Over Boot Shop as a result of discount they allowed their customers on the re- turn of old shoes. These will be re- paired and distributed to the needy at the building on Elm street by the Army.
 As part of the program to be caf- rIed out Saturday when the building
 will be opened Commandant Der mody has arranged for the local
 members of the organization to meet the National Staff band when it ar
 rives from New York at the local railroad station at 2:30 p. n.- An es-
 cort of police will parade with the band. The line of march will be up Fairfield avenue to Main street, down Main to Wall and from there to the Plaza where a concert will be given by the band. On Saturday evening
 a concert under the auspices of the 1 local lodge of E1ks will be held in the duultOTlun1 at the ftlSn SCHOOL. ] Rev. G. H. Beard addressed the fol- lowing remarks to a representative of The Times this morning:
 My attention has been called to the | fact that you are publishing my name with many others in a Times adver- i tisement of the Salvation Army. 1 Please remove it, as it has been placed there without my knowledge or con sent, and appears to commit me to a m lAf d of a-s-iy1 71,or hi f1Yr,6 6S
 that I believe to be both morally
 wrong and illegal, and certainly shall | not promote.
 ! One of the worst evils from which we are all suffering today is the crazy l desire to get something for nothing,
 in place of honest work and legitimate business. Gambling, of course, is the
 most conspicuous form of this evil
 It is the enemy of all industrious ef- 1 fort. Bad enough among those who
 fatten on it professionally, it is many | times more harmful when fathered by
 a religious institution.
 | ''The obvious attempt in this case 1 to veil the lottery feature of the en- terprise; by the plausible misuse o1
 the word gift, which is sacred te friendship and charity, for what are | really lottery prizes, is itself a con l fession of weakness. It serves alse | to poison the spirit of true and unset
 fish giving to worthy charities, whicf has been so fine 8 thing in our city by mixing with it the lure ~e 2 chance of getting oneself unearned and unde served money and calling that benev | olence.
 1 Our Connecticut law clearly rec ognizes the moral hurt to society O. this sort of thing by imposing a pen ! alty on its practice of maximum fin' of a thousand dollars or years i'm i prisonment. To enforce this law
 against low down gambling joints 1 while yet tolerating it in supposedl. respectable and religious societies, i
 unjust and easily becomes a bit of hy pocrisy."

LOMBAIDA AND
 SAKO MAY BE
 GANG MEMBERS
tcontinued From Page one.)

Sako and Mrs. Lombaida were ar rested in Quincy last December on charges of keeping disorderly house and selling whiskey. They were sentenced to six months in jail and fined $10O on each count, but for feited $500 bonds when the case was appealed to the higher courts.
 The police are now endeavoring to establish Sako's and Mrs. Lombaida's $ connection with a gang in New York city. It is believed that Sako is a member, and possibly a leader of 3. crowd of 1aw-breakers who have been operating in New York and vicinity Both the man and woman have
 prison records, and Mrs. Lom baida s son is now serving a life, sentence in
 New York for murder.
 Inasmuch as Mrs. Lombaida is wanted as a witness in the Sako case which will be heard in the City Court, Saturday morning, she will not be turned over to the Massa chu- setts authorities until next week. In the City Court today her case was continued from day to day under bonds of $500. Mrs. Lombaida is said to havs a husband living in New York city.

THIN DRESSES GET ADMIRERS
 BUT NOT JOBS

"A man does not like a foolish, frittery girl about his office. A girls costume should not thrust her upon his notice. Hs may like to go out with a geOrgette girl after business hours, but in business hours he wants to think about business Such is the advice of Miss Flora Taylor Young, E,duca tional Director in one of the large department stores of Chicago, to high school girls attending a Y. w. C. A. Vocational Course "A girl is dressed well for business when she wears a simple. stylish dress tfs [ is becoming but unobtrusive. 1rlodEsda but not exaggerated in style. Thin seorsette blouses are not business like.'
 The subject of appropriate business dress for girls is being included in most of the Association business and vocational courses as the matter of suitable dress is believed to be a large factor in the success or failure | of women in the business world

 With the latest developments in the case both the police and the Cough1ins have abandoned the theory that the baby was kidnapped for ransom They are inclined to be- lieve that revenge was the motive Charles Eller, chief of the Norris town police, said he had a definite clue and expected results within a day two.

The reason for the "vice sqaadysSz nan 5 B littse sor enes; against 5hEaft of tshatiie Chaplin and Douglas Fairbanks was all brought about yesterday afternoon when the officer was fooled into believing that he had chance to become a hero,
 While at his home in the East Side. the vice squad" man was at tracted by the shouts of children who were evidently ..Deing frightened out of their bt-overbiaI Seven years growth Glancing out of the win dow our hero saw a young. woman with her hair streaming down her back attempting to ward off the at tacl<s oe two thugs,
 Grabbing his, trusty automatic the twice squad sr1an started to the res cue. He got as far as the front porch, and halted there in amaze ment Coming around the, corner at a dead gallop was a foreign -looklnS gentleman clad in uniform whlch would have done credit to the most gorgeous rainbow. While the officer stared in aston:shment at this un- usual sight, the "admirar' com pleted the rescue of the young woman by drawing d gleanling saber and putting the ruffians to flight
 As the1policenlan stepped forward to congratulate the brave gentleman for his zIrnely action, his attention was attracfed by the clicking of a motion picture camera in the offinG. Before he could recover his compo- sure sufficiently to speak, the officer was left fat-footed on the sidewalk by the hustlirg movie" actors who had "shot" the scene and made their departure-, ggFrom. now on, this par ticular vice sHtiAd' man is ."off the movies" |"
