ASSERTS ACTION AGAINST RADICALS
 PURELY POLITICS
Statement Made By Presi- dent Hopkins of
 Dartmouth.

Hartford, Conn, Jan. 22-In an ad- dress at the dinner of the Dartmouth Club of Hartford. at the University Club last night, President Ernest M. Hopkins. of Dartmouth College, de- clared that "the present activities against alien radicals in this country is purely political byplay to enhance the political aspirations of the at- torney general
 Dr. Hopkins arraigned the govern ment campaign against the Bolshe- vists and other radicals and supple mented 1t with bitter criticism of the policy of the United States toward Russia.
 Certain people, he said, "sre at- tempting to make a reputation for conservatism. As Q result their cen sorship and propaganda have been actively at work to such an exten: that freedom of thought and speech such as the constitution of the Unit ed States expressly guarantees, are impossible.'
 President Hopkins declared that many of the war powers granted the government were still being exercised and that the country was living in a period of ceniSorship. T have every reason to believe, although I cannot prove it, that letters sent me from Russia have been withheld, and I am very sure also that letters to others have not been delivered. Men who have come back from Russia have said that the allied blockade is starving hundreds of Russians who have nothing to do with the soviet government. England has had her eyes opened in this matter before the United States
 People returning from Russia say there are untold food stores there awaiting the lifting of the ban,'' said Dr. Hopkins Referring to arrest of alleged reds" the speaker said:- Raids on these alien groups have been made under the guise of ridding the country of people who do not ap- preciate freedom. The spirit behind the arrest of these aliens is somewhat the same as that which produced the know nothing party and the attack on fraternal organizations
 President Hopkins asserted that il was the prevalent belief among Dem ocrats that the raids and deportations had been ma 6e largely to enhance the political aspirations of the attorney general. He said it was all simply political by play.
 l 'FWe seem to be using extreme naTShnesS 10 cover up a record Of eX- | treme leniency," he said. F"There should have been lots of it earlier and less of it now. People talking or street corners just to hear themselves
 stalk are not proper subjects for de fportaion. Where the country gets rio by this policy of one man who may be dangerous it creates g. hundred more, the speaker declared. If this sort o1 thing had happened in 1857 Hawthorne and Thoreau would probably have been arrested and all of the Shaker colonies deported. The proposed sedi- tion act would have kept Carl Schuri out of the country"
 President Hopkins said that in hi
 opinion the late war was being fol
 lowed by an attack on economic aNb solutism, which he believed was il force in this country.

The AZ towns that had not protested have a total population of 660,000 while that of the protesting towns is 5000. He said Bridgeport and New Haven should not be considered because only Lighthouse Point residents of New Haven had protested and Bridgeport refused to consider anything but a flat five cent fare. The city rider paid an average of 5.92 cents under the six cent fare, MT. Berry said. Now he pays 6.53 cents The attorney showed that several lines in the city of Hartford were more than six cent lines. The average fare paid in Mo- vember, 1919, the first month the zone system was in operation was 7.7s cents.

N0RWA ALK POLICE SEEK TO OBTAIN
 WAGE INCREASE
Member of Fore Has Brought Suit Against City
 In High Court.

The question of whether members of the Norwalk police department are to get an increase in pay will be fought out at the trial of the suit brought by John L. Roberts, a member of the force, against the City of Norwa,lk. In papers filed today in the Superior court the city is asked to provide the money for the proposed increase.
 It Is stated that in September, 1918, the Aldermen of Norwalk passed an ordinance increasing the pay of pa trolmen from $3.25 ito $3.75 a day and of sergeans from $S.75 to $4.25 8 day.
 This increase has never been paid, the complaint states. The city of Norwalk claims the increase was not paid because the Board of Apportion- ment cannot spend more than the amount 1t has on hand and 1t is claimed that there was not a sufficient amount of funds available to pay the extra stipend.
 The entire police department of Norwalk is back of the present action and Roberts was named as plaintiff because his name was drawn.

TALKS ON OIL BURNERS

The members of the Stationary Engineers Association were given a very interesting talk by A. B. Coop of the Hammell Oil Burning Equip ment Co.,, of Providence. R.. l., at their meeting last night.
 According to the speaker Russia was the first country to use oil as a fuel in 1881 and the United States followed in 1862.
 MT. Coop showed slides of the early types of burners and furnaces and gave a detailed explanation of the Hamel burner, Peabody HammeI pa- tent furnaces for Babcock, Wilcox and Sterling boilers He also explain ed the pump sets and the single and double heater boilers
 Views of the boiler rooms showing first the burning Of coal in the fur naces and then oil burning were dis played One of the most interesting slides presented was that of the au- tomatic oil stoking system which is a method of controlling the supply of oil to the boiler, the supply of steam for atomizing and also the control of dampers, each one being so interlocked with the other that ii gives the greatest possible efficiency to the boiler and a correspondine saving of oil

PERMIT TO
 TAKE GIRL
 NOT ISSUED
fcontinued from Page one)

When Superintendent of Charities Angus Thorne was called this morn ing he stated that he did not know that the case of Julia had not been acted on and then claimed that as long as the court had decided that the father was unable to care prop erly for the other children that ha had no moral or legal right to Ju- lia.
 It was the superintendent's con- tention, carried out by the court records of the hearing, that Julia (Jasko) Petkowitcz was born in To- ronto, Ohio, on June II. 1904. It is then claimed that her father left her mother and was thought to be dead. A few years ago Mrs. Jasko went to
 live with Joseph Petkowitcz and came to this city. She had four children by him before she died 8 few months ago.
 At that time Julia was attending the fourth grade at the Longfellow school, Bostwick avenue, and shortly after her mothers death Julia told Miss Stap1etonI principal of the school, that she had to remain at home to take care of the other chil- dren as she was IS, the oldest, and
 the others were merely babies. It
 was then that the Charities Depart ment acted and a petition was filed in
 the Probate Court for the removal
 of the four children and NRS acted
 on by Judge Miller but Julia's name
 was scratched from the petition and the judge took no action on the mat ter.
 Despite the fact that Julia was 15 and entitled to be heard as to whom eI, 44I T. oV-f1i a n both her real mother and father being dead, no action was taken and she was given to MT. and Mrs. c. E. Dowd who tried to give her a home. Superintendent Thorne states that he does not know where the girl is. It is now said that Julia's real fa- ther has appeared on the scene again ! and is prepared to defend his rights in the courts if such a course is neceS- sary.
 Following conference this morn | ing between Judge Miller in the Probate Court and MT. Thorne it was 1 stated that Julia's name had beer crossed out of the petition because 1 the girl was already taken care o1 by the department and Judge Miller | had been convinced she was in good | hands. It was due to this misun' derstanding that no legal court ac. ! ton was taken of Julia's separa. l ton.
 According to the legal side of the | case the selectmen, under a towr 1 charter, have the right to take and 1 care for destitute children and un. der a city charter the right is con | ferred on the Board of Charities. II view of this legal authorities say that 1 the Board of Charities had at leas
 a moral right to act pending cour l action and that the father who ha
 no legal or moral claim on the girl ! as he is no relative either by blooC
 or marriage, has nothing to say il 1 the matter.

YOUNG WOMAN
 HELD IN ATLANTA
 NOT MISS DEKAY

Atlanta, Ga, Jan. 22.---Later devel- opments practically have nullif1ed the assumption of the police that the young woman held here is Jeanne Anna DeKay, missing protege of Jane Adda1ns, of Hull House, Chicago. The woman, who was arrested at local hotel for masquerading in an aviator's uniform, at first told the police she was Miss DeKay, then contradicted herself. Under cross examination, the police claim, she told several different stories. In the last of these she again said she was Miss DeKay until her marriage to Harrow DeLonge, who is now at a New York hotel.
 A description of the woman under arrest was sent to Chicago and word
 was sent back that it did not tally
 with the missing settlement worker
 for whom a nationwide search has
 been made.
 Among the names given by the
 young woman, the police said was
 Jeanne Lalonge," Belgian widow Of
 French soldier. The police of Charlotte, N. C., reported that a woman of that name claiming to be an aviatrix had broken jail there where she was being held charged with fai1-
 ure to pay a hotel bill. The Char Iotte police claimed she was accom- panied by a companion, who said sha
 was not a Belgian widow, but Helen Wiley, of Morgantown, w. Va. Chicago, Jan. 22 - Miss Jane | Addams today said she felt certain that the young woman held at At lanta, Ga, was not the missing | Jeanne Anna DeKay.. but "an adVsn- | turess'' named Larue, who was in Chicago Jan. 5. 'She called me up and said she | could show me where Jeanne was, I said Miss Addanns. "An appointment i was made and kept by Mrs. Gertrude | Howe Britton and John DeKay. l Jeannes' brother. A few minutes | talk convinced both she was an ad-
 venturess seeking notoriety."
 1 Miss DeKay came to Chicago short | ly before Christmas to undertake so- cial service under Miss Addams al
 Hull House. She disappeared a few days later, taking only a few personal | things and leaving no word. Her
 wealthy father lives at Lucerne | Switzerland.

JULIUS GERBER
 FIRST WITNESS
 TO TAKE STAND

Albany, Jan. 22-Julius Gerber, sec retary of the New York local of the socialist party, was the first witness called today at the trial before the assembly judiciary committee of the five suspended socialist assemblymen charged with disloyalty.
 As soon as Gerber had been sworn, MT. Stanchfield obtained crom him copy of the constitutional platform of the socialist party in 1917, which was introduced in evidence witho l! objection by the defense.
 MT. Stanchfield drew from Gerber information that the New York Call with the flaming torch, the social ist emblem, at each corner of the front page,"- was an organ of the so- cialist party in which official news was recorded. Gerber said he was secretary of the membership corpor- ation which published the newspaper, and that S. John Bloch, state chair man of the socialist party and an att torney for the defense, was another officer.
 The Call Gerber testified, is owned by the Workingmen's Cooperative Publishing Association, which he de- scribed as a membership corpora 1 don." A person may become a mem-. Der of the association by payment of 1 $5. Some persons own more stock than others, but regardless of the ! amount of stock owned, each member | is allowed but one vote. The socialist 1 party organization had no control or authority over the publishing asso-
 citation, nor had the publishing asso- 1 citation any control over the party.

TO TRY WOMAN WHO IS HELD
 FOR FORGERY
Is to Be Taken Before Fed eral District Court in
 February.

The trial of Ella H. Roy, the rural free delivery carrier of the Westport Post Office who Is charged with theft and forgery, will be tried by the Fed eral Court in February.
 Mrs. Roy is charged with stealing a letter from the mails and forging the name of Gladys I. Stone to an al- lotment check which was enclosed in the letter.
 At the time of the arrest of Mrs Roy she told the Secret Service men that she remembered the Stone let ter and that she had delivered it to a strange woman at the Stone house. That the following day this same woman gave her the check with the endorsement of Gladys I. Stone written on it and asked her to have 1t caShed when she went to town and bring the money out the next day.
 Mrs. Roy said that she did as re- quested and the next day gave the money to this same woman.
 In company with the secret service men she went to the Stone domicile and after every member of the Stone family had written the name of Gladys I. Stone, Mrs. Roy was re- quested to write the name five times. The first three signatures did not re- semble the fraudulent endorsement but the fourth and fifth were excel lent reproductions of it.
 At the Westport post office, Mrs. Roy acknowledged that she had forg- ed the signature and said that she did not because she had been unable to support her family on the salary she was receiving and she had a hus- band who did not work.
 The secret service men discovered that her statements were true. At a hearing before Commissioner Lavery Mrs. Roy was held for the federal grand jury which indicted her, and she is now awaiting trial.
 Much sympathy is expressed fof her and her friends hope that tho court will deal 1eniently with her.
