BEFORE COMMISSIONER
Orzel, High Street Man. Discharged
by Corbett, Who Finds Police Used
Defective Warrant.

Another chapter in the alleged Ii
quor activities of Joseph Orzel of 222
High street was written yesterday
afternoon when the local man was
arraigned before United States Com
missioner Corbett at Hartford. He
was discharged. Lawyer Michael A.
Sexton represented the accused.
Orzel was arraigned in the local
court several weeks ago after the po-
lice had raided his home on High
street. Because of a defective search
warrant the court was unable to hold
MN guilty at that time. It appears
that the police secured a warrant to
search at 2lS High street, but finding
that the number was a vacant lot
they had it amended to 222 High
street They found nothing at that
address, but did locate some liouor at
222.
Subsequent to his discharge in the
local court, Lawyer Sexton pctitioned
for the return of the liquor seized.
Since there had been no legal seizure
the court could not order it's return
and the police declined to give up the
booze.

AN2XBEER BILL rs READY

WHEN SENA TEAPPROVESlT
FAIR OFFICIAL IS
ACCUSED AS CROOK
LandOn Said to Have En-.
bezzled Between $4,000
and $4,000.

Hartford, Nov. 1S-That Will p.
Landon is an alleged dcfarlter and
has embezzled funds of the Connecti-
cut Fair association totalling probably
$4,000 to $4,000 during his four
years service as assistant secretary
of that organization, was disclosed to-
day by Treasurer ". K. Gocher on in
formation found hy public account
ants who are auditing the books of
the association.
Mr.. Landon disappeared from
Hartford November 3. His alleged
method of defalcation was to with
hold cash which came into his hands
in large amounts during fair days
and make false entries on the books,
several of which have been found
by checking up the vouchers but
much of which It VIII be impossible
to check up because Landon had de-
stroyed all the cash receipts FOR cash
payments made to the fair associa-
ton.
The first definite intimation that
Landon might be misusing, or at least
handling the money of the association
arbitrarily Mr.. Gocher SAID, came to
him during the days of the far IN
September when he discovered that
Landon, on his own motion was max
ing rebates to persons owing the as
sociation. Items gathered on that
score amount to S1,0SG. These re
bates were mainly to persons who had
entered horses in the races bat dil
not win the race and owed the asso-
citation money as entry fee. Among
these items were rebates to John A.
Pilgard for $500 and to W. T. Crozier
for 1856.

CREENBERG TRIAL
ON NOVEMBER e
Local Prosecutor Will Face
Judge Wolfe in Court
AT 10 A. NJ.

Prosecuting Attorney Albert a
| Greenberg will be tried before Judge
Wolfe, in superior court at Hartford
on Monday morning, November IS.
The case is called for 10 a. m.
Attorney Greenberg is one of the
l 5 persons arrested in connection
with the sensational charges of rum
running, automobile stealing. etc,
which grew out of the death of the
late Louis Wrinkle. The specific
charge against the prosecuting attor-
ney is that of accepting a bribe of
$125 from Salvatore Varelli, now in
Jail in default of bail on a rum theft
charge. Vareli is alleged to have
made a confession duplicating Green
berg in the sharing of a check drawn
by Varelli and which is alleged to
have changed hands in Greenberg's
office in the presence of Former De-
tective Sergeant a. j. Richardson
States Attorney Hugh NJ. Alcorn
had intended to try Thomas F. Nc
Aulilfe first, but the latter being a
federal prisoner, additional delay has
caused the states attorney to decide
upon bringing Greenberg to trial
first, Judge Isaac Wolfe was pc
titioned by Mr., Alcorn to set the
above date for a hearing. The pc
tition was granted this morning.
Attorney Alcorn thinks he can wind
up the Greenberg trial within a few
days. Some sensational devclop-
ments are expected, and there is
feeling that a number of additional
arrests will follow the hearing.
Greenberg, who is represented by At
torneys Herman j. Weisman, of Wa
terbury, and Joseph f. Berry, of
Hartford, has waived his rights to a
jury trial.

ENGLAND LIKEWISE READY
TO GIVE UP TERRITORIAL
RIGHTS TO HELP CHINESE
WORK HELD UP ON
BRITISH WARSHIPS
All Construction Suspended
Pending Outcome of
Conference

London, Nov. 1S.-(By Associated
Press )-The admiralty announced to.
day that it had ordered cessation OF
all work on the four warships OF the
Hood type. The ship building firms
were notified yesterday not to incur
any further liabilities on new nava.
construction until further notice
from the admiralty.
These contracts were awarded only
two weeks ago.
Officials explained that the prac-
tical effect of the admiralty's order
would be the absolute cessation of all
warship work pending the outcome OF
the pending conference at Washing
ton.
The plans of the British admiralty
for capital ship construction appear
to have been modified from time tc
time in the three years since the
war. as the lessons of that conflict
were worked out, and the status of
the building program is not quite
clear on the records.
There were originally four ships of
the Hood type, only one of which, the
Hood itself, was completed. Begun
in 1915, she was launched late in
1918 and completed in 1920. The
other three ships, all of a highly pow
erful battle cruiser type, were de-
signed to meet the lessons of the bat
tie of Jutland, work on them having
been stopped in March, 1917.
1t appears from London dispatches
in August last, dealing with admir-
atty construction plans, that four new
battle cruisers were boefe 1iW9th
battle cruisers were to be turned out
as improvements over the Hood type.
to take the place of obsolete vessels.
Their completion by 1925 was ex-
pected. These ships were to have
been probably the most heavily arm
ed in the world, carrying ten to -
sixteen inch guns each in their main
batteries. The Hood has a main bat
terry Of eight Is inch guns and her
normal disracement Is Al, 200 tons.
Glasgow, Nov. 1S.--Tt is officially
stated that the contract awarded the
Clyde shipyards for the construction
of three warships of the super Hood
type have been suspended
