TWO IMPORTANT
 CASES so FAR

Action in two of the most important cases on the docket for the short cal endar session of Superior court, held this morning by Judge John P. Kel- logg, was deferred for one week. The grievance committee of the Fair field County Bar Association asks for Ia postponement of a week in the ac- tiOn against Charles A. Smythwick, colored lawyer, on the defendant $ motion to eXpunge and a motion for Ia more specific statement and de- murrer. The delay was due to the absence of States Attorney Homer s. Cummings.
 The other delay was in the divorce action of Blanca West Bishop, Bridgeport, against William D. Bishop, New Haven. The putting over for a week of this case was due to inability of both sides to as yet agree upon the personnel of the committee that is to hear the case.

Clever Woman Traps Blackmailing Gang
 That Stole Child

New York, June 3.-Tapped by the clever work of a pretty young woman detective five members of the gang of bIackmailing kidnappers of a fve-year-o1d Italian boy were put on the grill at police headquarters today and two of them confessed, but the gang leader is still at large, keeping the boy in hiding. The police flung a dragnet across the metropolis and surroundings. The child's parents are frantic with the fear that the abduct- ors, frenzied over the Squealing of his conSpiratorS, will vent his fury by killing the boy. It was on May 24 that young Giuseppe Varotto was kid doors from his own. on E. 18th street. The father of the still missing kid napper is among the prisoners, but disclainaS all knowledge of the plot.

 Chairman VoEtead of the House Ju- dietary Committee, urged on by Wayne B Whe eler, Ant+Saloon League head, has rushed to completion his re- port sustaining the anti-beer bill, and today he began work on the House leaders to win their assent to an early consideration of the bill.
 It is Volstead's plan to jam the bill through the House as quickly as pos sible, follow it to the Senate and se- cure early action there on it that it may become a law before much real beer is manufactured under permits to be issued. The fear of the pro- hibitjon forces iS that unless the law prohibiting beer is speedily placed on the statute books the brewers will flood the country with beer containing a quantity of four per cent. alcohol and good work done in prohibition en- forcern ent will be undOne in large measure.

Tokio June 3 Construction seems to be the watchword for the Department of the Imperial Navy in Tokio during the years 1922 -23.

PARIS, June 2O.-Great Britain and
France, sitting as a jury, failed again to-
day TO determine Germany's fate.
The conferences here between Lord
Curzon and Premier BRAND came to an
end with the upper Silesian situation and
the Rhine customs barrier unchanged.
Lord Curzon argued strongly for dis
solving the customs barrier, declaring
that Germany has shown her good faith
by making the first PREPARATIONS payment
Good faith retorted BRAND con
temptuously, hasn't paid US frame
yet"
The British representative told Brian
he was convinced the allies should
evacuste Dusseldorf, Ruhrot and Duis-
burg and give the Germans full freedom
IN paying OF their debt.
Lord Curzon also outlined British
opinion on the final division of Upper
Silesia. declaring that the plesbiscite vote
should be followed by awarding the in
dustrial regions to Germany. Both were
left open for consideration by the Allied
Supreme Council which probably will
meet in mid July.
The conferees, however, reached an
agreement regarding the Near East.
With the approval of the Italian govern
ment, a note was sent 10 the Greek gov
eminent proposing that it should consent
to a peace with Turkish natiOnalists to
be arranged by the allies. The basis Of

Douglas street, had bad luck Saturday
and Sunday, and today another affidavit
was sworn out charging him with
operating a blind tiger. This makes the
second charge Of this kind lodged against
him in three days.
Big Sinners" bad luck started when
the Marion county grand jury indicted
him on the charge of perjury. Those
charges grew out of a blind tiger" case
tried some months ago.
Sergeant Chitwood and a squad Of po-
lice raided The Fame livery barn 636
West Court street at noon Saturday and
found twenty nine one gallon tin cans Of
white mule" whisky hidden in the hay
NOW. They arrested George Atkins, ne
gro, 53S Bright street. who is employed
at the barn and charged him with oper-
ating a blind tiger"
Atkins declared the twenty -nine gal
Ions Of moonshine was the property Of
big Sinner" Middaugh, and had been
brought to the barn by two Of Big
Sinners" friends Friday night in an au-
tomobile after Middaugh's car had broke
down west of the city. Atkins said he
gave the men permission to store the
liquor in the barn until Saturday night.
The police were unable to find Mil
daugh until he appeared at police head

He was SLATED" on the charge OF operat-
ing blind tiger" Hyman Unger, SO2
South Illinois street, signed Middaugh's
bond.
Motor Policeman Wilkerson was off
duty last night and was enjoying an
automobile ride in West Tenth street
when he saw two men IN an automobile
driving east in Tenth street near Glen
avenue. The men recognized the police
man and tried to crowd him into the
ditch, the officer says. He turned his
car around and started a pursuit.
AS the leading automobile approached
Mt. Jackson cemetery 1t slowed down and
one Of the men hurled a sack over the
wall. Then the policeman swung mis-
auto ahead of the other one and blocked
the road. Wilkerson says the men III
the car were Charles Middaugh and VIII
liam Roach. Taking the keys out of both
cars the officer went back and got the
sack that had been thrown away.
1t contained five one gallon cans of
white mule" whisky, of the same kind
found in the livery barn. When the po-
liceman got back to the automobile Big
Sinner" was not there He arrested
Roach who is charged with operating a
blind tiger Roach, 20. 1872 North Black
IOEU street, WAS released On DOnu
signed by Panal Shaneff 1856 North

out an affidavit against Middaugh charg
ing him with operating a blind tiger.
The automobile was ordered held for
the Federal authorities.
Middaugh also was charged with driv-
ing a car without an automobile license.
The reason that the Inter charge was
placed against him was that the license

issued for an Overland, but was used on
a Flo. !. Middaugh said the automobile is
owned by Kress.
Middaugh was released from custody

Harding Outlines PIan
for World Association

resentatives for report on the Harding
association. The salient features of the
plan were:
The association would have no written
constitution.
1t would function through a council Of
representatives of member nations whose
decision would be advisory, rather than
binding.
The present allied supreme council
could be used as a nucleus for the asso-
citation. The associations plan calls for
an international law court, but without
compulsory arbitration of disputes and
without penalties for failure to abide by
the courts judgment
The word that such diplomatic reports
have been sent closely follows informa-
ton that an association Of nations has
been put on paper.
Harding has not worked out all of the
details of his plans. the diplomats re
ported but they expressed the conviction
that be will base suggestions for an as
ISOLATION solely on cooperation between
members for world policy of good fell
loxship and mutual helpfulness.

States to the allied reparations commits
sion TO prevent Germany from paying
large reparation sums and drafts on
New York banks and using American
financial institutions rs a credit full

The reason for the request Is that the
recent action Of Germany in paying huge
sums to the allies through American
banks has played havoc with the ex-
change situation, to the detriment Of
American foreign commerce, 1t was said.
Last weeks drop in the price of wheat
is blamed on the exchange fluctuations
caused by the German action.
Authorities here say no benefit is de-
rived by the sudden purchase OF huge
sums Of dollars and then the gradual
withdrawal of the credits thus gotten.
