The discussion was general at
the last nights meeting and vari-
GUS alleged injustices were brought
before the meeting. The main at
tack centered on the retail price
Of lumber. Two representatives of
local lumber retailing firms de-
Tended the prices, as did. Col.
George e. Breeze. who alleged that
in many instances retail lumber
prices here were lower than in
other cities of this section of the
country.
1t is expected that representa-
tives of a of the retail lumber
companies in the city will attend
the meeting next Friday evening
to meet the charges made that un-
fair prices are being obtained for
this important home building ma
terial. Retailers last night claimed
that overhead expenses were so
high that they were not making
more than per cent on their in
vestment.
Railway freight rates, labor
costs, material costs, doctors fees,
the price OF bread and clothing
and many other important econo-
mic questions were discussed at the
meeting and will be continued.
Houses Needed.
The need Of more homes in AL
buquerque to accommodate the
rapidly increasing population was
conceded by all persons at the
meeting. Action of some type, it
was decided, must be taken to
speed up building in order that
normally may return and that the
city may have its opportunity of
development.
Two questions seemed to be
agreed by all present as main fac
tors In the case. Building costs are
either at level or can be placed
at level where the builder will
know that he will not lose any of
his investment. If a level has been
reached. and the public realizes it,
1t was believed by the persons at
tending the meeting that needed
building will be started at once.
If the level can be lowered and
Is lowered to a standard for the
near future, at least, and the pub
lie realizes the situation, the same
result, 1t was conceded, would be
obtained. 1t Is the object of the
meeting next Friday to find the
correct answer to these questions.
Albuquerque Is growing by leaps
and bounds and Is three years be-
hind its normal building program
according to real estate men who
have been studying the situation

Albuquerque Fortunate.
Albuquerque, according to re-
ports made by various businesses,
has been but little hit by the de-
preston which has followed the
war. 1t was stated by a number OF
men at the meeting that this city
has weathered business depression
better than any other city in the
United States of the same size.
Building, which has been practical
~ at standstill In the other cit
les of the country, has continued
here-but not at sufficient rate
to meet the requirements Of the
citv's expansion, need and oppor-
tunity.

Three Held Guilty
For Death of Nine
In Theater Tragedy
New Haven Building Inspect
or, With President and
Manager of Rialto, Found
CriminaIly Responsible

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Dec. 27.-City
Building Inspector Joseph f. Austin,
Lawrence f. Carroll, manager of the
theater, and Alfred S. Black, president
of the Connecticut Theaters Corpora
ton, which controlled the thcater,
were held criminally responsible for
the deaths of nine persons in the
Rialto Theater fire of November 27, in
finding by Coroner Eli Mix to-day.
The coroner's inquest was based on
the death of Everitt T. Case, which
was taken as typical Of all deaths as
an outcome Of the fire.
The coroner, after finding Manager
Carroll and A. S. Black criminally re-
connected with the operation of the
theater and others. and the presenta-
ton Of a prologue to moving picture
film, which prologue, he holds, was
the direct cause of the fire, and finds
them negligent but not criminally re
sponsible. Burning incense to give
atmosphere" to the prologue ignited
fimsy stage draperes.
The coroner finds that violation of
the law in the theater included absence
of an asbestos curtain, lack of water
curtain, an automatic sprinkler, casks
of water on the stage, hose connections.
lack or trepr0of scenery and wood
work.
Chief Of Police Philip T. Smith and
members of his department also are
criticized for having failed to see that
the theater was legally licensed and
in having permitted the prologue to be
given.
Coroner Mix says that had Building
Inspector Austin done his duty in ap-
plyinc the building code when altera-
tions we're being made at the theater in
June, 81 am quite certain that this
particular fire could and would not
have occurred. for there would not have
been the conditions present that made
it possible"
Percy b. Maxon, general manager Of
the Theaters Corporation, John f. C.
Kelly and James Carter, employees,
and Moses A. Coan, the contractor,
who made alterations in the build

Miss Frye Isn't Crippled

WHITE PLAINS, N. Y, Dec. 27--
Supreme Court Justice Addison j..

against Professor Walter b. Gage.

at Iarrytown, an automobile injury
case, adjourned to dark cellar under
the courthouse to-day aud looked at
evera! hundred feet Of motion picture
tilm introduced by the defense to Offset
Miss Frye's claims.
Miss Frye's charge is that her pelvic
bone was fractured when she was
knocked down in November, 1920. by
the automobile Of Professor Gage
Women detectives who say they made
the acquaintance of Miss Frye during
the period since elapsed have testified
that they have walked and ridden With
her, that she exhibits no lameness and
has been seen to run up forty steps
without the slightest evidence of in
convenience.
Attorney r. j. O'Neill for the plain
tlff interposed objections on her be-
half, pointing out that motion picture
films were easily ''faked" and could not
be regarded as trustworthy evidence in
a court Of law. judge Young overrulcd
the objection.
Efforts to get an adequate projection
Of the pictures in court failed. Judge
Young ordered all the blinds down and
the room darkcned as much as possible,
but there remained too much light, so
an adjournment was taken to the eel
lar Those permitted to witness the
pictures were the Judge and jury,
counscllors and members Of the press.
The pictures were distinct. They
ostensibly showed Miss Frye on August
20 last at Pier |, North River, where
she had been taken by Lillian zeldt,
private detective engaged by the de-
Tense. The cameraman had been sta
toned IN advance. When Miss Frye is
said to have begun her descent of the
stairway leading to pier from which
Coney Island boats leave, the movie
man began to grind. He asserts he re-
corded every step of Miss Fryes prog
ress.
During the showing of the pictures
Judge Young and the jury displayed
keen interest. 1t is the first occasion
in the history Of Westchester courts
where films have been used in evidence.

In the magistrates courts no one is
put on probation until thorough OK

from probation officer given to the
magistrate before sentence
when a probatiohor breaks the
terms of his probation he is at once
arrested. He cannot be discharged
from probation until he has gone be
fore the probation court. There is not
sufficient overlook in the case of per
son under suspended sentence.
THE only trouble with our probation
system is that we have not sufficient
officers, because these people must be
overlooked in their daily lives con-
stantly, and this is not done with those
on whom sentence has been suspended
The gulf between probation and sus-
pended sentence is immeasurablc.
Az one time there was an attempt
made to begct in this city centralized
probation system for all criminal
courts, high and low, but it fell
through.

District Attorney elect Joab H. Ban
ton expressed disapproval last night of
the proposal to license bondsmen. He
said:
"Such a system would do away with

I'VE have had a quicter time in this
office during the few weeks preceding
Christmas than we have had in any
similar period in recent years. The
cause of increased criminal activity
during Christmas season is that Grim
inals know there is more money in cir
cuiation and there is greater oppor~
tunity.
High bail is not the answer to crime
prevention. 1t will not prevent crime.
Moreover, Federal and state constitu-
hons prohibit excessive bail"

"Plcasc let me hear from you prompt

The only comment which could be

increases if arything," would be main
tained.' He said the public had more
to fear from the threat of a lockout
on the part Of the employers than from
possible strike plans of the unions.

An old-fashioned negro preacher in
the South once related how he was
called to preach. He said that one
night after stealing a coop full of
chickens he passed a field where an
ass was braying. The old negro in
sisted that the braying of the ass was
saying go preach-a, go preach-a!
And so he went to preaching. Asses
are funny. 50 are a lot Of people.
Ebert Hubbard has said that
human beings are endowed with six
senses instead Of five. But few peo-
pie ever discover this sixth sense 1t
is the sense of humor. With it, no
hardship but that bit Of humor en-
Iivens it. No tragedy but that a
monkey-like or ass-like joke mischiey
ousIy appears to redeem it. No stress
of business or finances but that it re-
veals somewhere something to laugh
at.
And | repeat Human beings are
funny They are funny when they
take life too seriously. They are funny
when they do not take it seriously at
all They are funny when they pose
Ike the fly on the spoke of wagon

funny when they stand around like
posts and watch the snails go Whiz-

Their sense of humor is absolutely
