MCAu|iffffe Taken To
 ford County Jail
ested Late Yesterday by Federal Authorities on the Charge of Accepting a Bribe.

Hartford, Oct. 6.-Thomas F. Me Auiiffe, former federal prohibition chief in Connecticut, was arrested by the fed eral authorities late today on a charge of accepting money to influence a public prosecution while he was an agent of the government. His bonds were fixed at $15,ooo. Unable to produce bail, Me Auliffe was taken to the Hartford coun- ty jail.
 The arrest of McAuliffe followed a conference in the federal building be- tween state and federal authorities. Mo- Auliffe was released from the jail last night when friends furnished S15, ,0G0 cash bonds required in connection with charge of accepting bribes, lodged against him by state officers. At the conference today were Harry E. Mac kenzie, prohibition director for Connec- ticut; United States District Attorney Edward L. Smith. and his assistant, George H. Cohen States Attorney Hugh M. Alcorn, of Hartford county: Henry J. Calnen counsel for McAuliffe; United States Commissioner Corbett and oth- CTS.
 The conference was lengthy. McAuliffe sat in an adjoining room watching a newspaper scorebeard showing the plays of the worlds series game.
 The conference, it was understood, al- so took up questions of prihibition en- forcement operations under Ralph H Blakeslee of North Haven this week as a result of thearrest of McAuliffe.

INDICTMENTS AGAINST
 TRAVIS ARE DISMISSED

New York. Oct. 6-Supreme Court Justice McAvoy today dismissed indict- ments charging St;:fe Comptroller James A. Wendell, his predecessor, Eugene NJ Travis and Albert L. Judson, with mal- feasance in connection with the sale of bonds to the state.
 The indictments claimed that the bonds were sold to the state for sink ing fund purposes by Judson, a broker, through Wendell and Travis at a profit in excess of that possible at the market price.
 Justice sNfcAvoy declared there was no proof or inference of gain to any of the defendants save Judson, and that ,arcely could not be charged under the conditions of the sale
 The activities of Wendell" said Jus tice McAvoy, were such as to wholly relieve him from any supposta'ble charge of conduct indicative of criminality."
 Justice McAvoy added that the con- duct of Travis amounted in law to whether misfeasance or malversation ha dbeen committed and that such charges were not criminal. but punish able by removal from office, which ii was not now proper to determine.
 Judson's part in the dealings, he add ed. was that of a vendor of bonds whose receipt of the state funds in exchange for bonds was bona fde, unless it coul1 be proved the gesuTt of a conspiracy tc steal, arranged with either Wendell or Travi1

INVITATION TO HOLLAND
 HANDED DUTCH MINISTER

The Hague Oct (By the A. P.)- Americas invitation to Holland to par ticiDate in the forthcoming conference on Far Eastern questions in Washing ton today was handed to the Dutch foreign minister by William Phillips American minister to the Netherlands
 The fact that Holland has been in vited to take part only in the discus sion of Far Eastern and Pacific prob lems, and is excluded from the confer ence on the limitation of armaments has created disappointment in government circles. A high placed official said to- day:
 'The disarmament question is of vi- tal importance with respect to Hollands position in the colonies. especially as with view to the defence of the East Indies, the Dutch government is consid. ering an important increase in the fleet"
 Although nothing would be decided until foreign minister Van Karnebeek returned from Geneva, where he acted as president of the league assembly the official added
 fIt is uncertain whether the Dutch government twill accept the invitation to the Washington conference, where Hol- land would assume only a secondary position''
Norwich bulletin., 1921-10-07

your request for my resignation indi- cates that you accept them as being true. Simple justice seems to demand that I should be acquainted with any charges that have been made against me and that I should be Drought face to face with the person or persons mak- ing these charges in order I may have an opportunity to deny and refute them.
 My people have lived in what is now Connecticut continuously for a De- riod of nearly four hundred years and there has never been a blot on the name of any one Of them
 q therefore refuse to tender my res- ignation under existing conditions un- less you accept the suggestion ,that I have made. and I make this refusal with the full realization that the pres ident has the unquestioned right to sum- marty remove me from office, but in the firm belief that he will not exercise this authority unless any charges that have been made against me are proven to hi sentre satisfaction.
 Respectfully,
 WILLIAM R. PALMER, United States Marshal" Mir. Palmer said he had mailed cop ies of his letter to President Harding and United States Senators Brandegee and Mclean, cf Connecticut In addi- tion he wrote a personal note to each ! of the senators.

New York. Oct 6.-National indus fry today Is in the early sDringtime of recovery. having onte ed the period of easier credits, SeC- tary of Commerce Hoover told mem5, rs of the American Manufacturers Export Association at their annual dinner tonight. This was marked. he said by the rise in the price nf bonds and the fall in federal reserve and interest rates generally He empha- s'zcd that he did not wish to be under s.oo das saving that the country is on Inc threshold of a boom.
 We have a long way to go to get back to economic stability" he said. We hsvA yet Co go through with much rcadiustm'nt in price ,evels but we are definitely vn the road"
 Tho dcsu uctive effect of violent fiuc- nations in foreign exchanges, he said. was the first obstruction to American foreign trade and until some measure of stability could be secured from each. there was little hope that the foreign trade of this or any other coun- try would recover to normal The in- f'viduai nations of the world he assert ed, must balance their budgets and cease the processes of imitation, as this was the urinary basis upon which sta b.lity must be erected.
 
 added. that we should not interest our se'ves as government in stabilizing tre budgets and establishing sound cur. -encies in foreign countries. but unless our commercial community Is willing ir some way to interest itself m the coun tries struggling with fiscal und fran r'al problems. we must expect to pay many thousands of dollars in the loss 0f export markets and in the employ u-ut of our people"
 Secretary Hoover said there had beer great response 10 rhe recommcnda. H07v sent out by the unemployment conference last Saturday and the pres ii-7ts appeal that they should be '-11efo-mod into community action.

Army of the Unemployed Tir- ed of Chasing Cameras Bud Taylor Leads New Di- vision.

Washington, Oct 6.-Urbain Ledoux, who calls himself MT. Zero" and "The Champion of the Unemployed' saw balf his followers desert him today in front of the capitol.
 The labor auetioneer of Boston Com mon fame with his little army of unem- ployed, augmented by sightseeing bus full of former service men from New York, appeared at the Capitol to ask Senators Wadsworth and Calder to ob- guard armories in New York as sleeping places for unemployed. The senators told Ledoux the request was a matter for state action.
 Then came the division in the ranks. Bud Taylor. leader of the new arrivals from New York, mounted the bus and addressed the men substantially as fol- lows:
 I'm tired and sick of following this fellow Zero. It isn't doing us any good to pose before tHe camera; we are not moving picture actors. What We want l is work. This chasing the cameras here is not getting us anywhere. If any of you want jobs come with me ano We will do our best to land them. 1 Half of the party thereupon startet with Taylor toward the union station while LedoUx and the remnant of hi! forces proceeded towards the White i House for their daily visit
 LedouX later issued a statement deny ing that the break in his ranks had beer serious and asserting that none of hi! band had followed Taylor back to New | York

The jury, which was slort two members when today's session began, was quickly completed and States Attor- ney Ernest A. Inglis made his opening address, The indictment alleged that Schutte caused the three deaths by shoot ing and arson, was read.
 The witnesses were Louis F Quirk. a civil engineer; Oscar B. Welker a phe- tographer; Andrew Seckla, of Moodus, an dhis wife. The location of the Ball home was described by Quirk, while Welker explained photographs of the site where the house had stood. Pictures of the house before it was burned in 1915 were introduced by the state, one of which showed Joseph Ball standing near the house.
 Mrs Seckla testified that she and her husband lived with the Ball family for two months in 1913. She described the house, saying there was no floor downstairs except the ground and a lad der was used to get to the second floor. Gustaf Carlson, counsel for the defense, cross examined her as to the location of stove in the house. Seckla was on the stand when adjournment was taken until next Tuesday.
 Schutte's four sons again were in the court room. On one occasion they walk ed past their father, but none of the sons looked at him or spoke to him.
