 Broad street delighting sightseers
 with their sign language are defend ants in a suit brought by abutting property owners, on file in the supreme court today.

$5OO,OOO AVAILABLE
 FOR STATE HOSPITAL
K O c K efe1ler Foundation
 Would Finance Adjunct to Yale Medical School.

Hartford. Sept. 9.-That. the gen. eral education board of tho Rocke- feller Foundation will endow the pro- posed state psychopathic hospital with a fund of $500. 1000 for salarizing the teaching staff. provided such a hospito. is established in connection with the Yale Medical school and a suitable hospital building is provided by the state of Connecticut or by Yale school was the information obtained today in quarters conversant with the situation.
 wisn tho salary cost of the teaching staff assumed by the Rockefeller gift which will be a continuous source of income for this purpose, the question remains for the pysochopatic hospital commission to find some plan whereby either the state or the Yale medical school, or both pay the initial cost of providing suitable clinic quarters.
 It Ia understood that there will be the cicsest connection between the proposed psychopathic hospital as part Of the Yale Medical school and the New Haven general hospital in regard to psychopathic cases.
 The Rockefeller offer is not yet for rnally before the Yale corporation and will probably not be presented until lt has Eeen formally presented to the bodies including the newly appointed commission who would be concerned with arranging for meeting the con- dition of the gift of providing a hos pital building. As soon as the way seems clear that such building Will be erected and both sides are equally confident about that, moro formal ovcrtures will be made by the Rocke- fetIeF Foundation.
 Dr. Paul Waterman of Hartford, who is chairman of the psychopatic hospital commission appointed by Governor Lake about six weeks ago, said today that he will soon call meeting of the commission to investi- rate the situation. The other mem- bers Of tho commission are pr. M. C. winternitz. of New Haven: pr. C. Floyd Haviland of Middletown; John Cavannugh of South Norwalk. and George S. Palmer of New London.
 Dr. Waterman said he had heard in an indirect way that a Rockefeller Foundation offer would be made in connection with the proposed state psychopathic hospital, but that he was not in a position to give details.

Delegate Believes All Other South American Nations Would Flock
 to Harding'S Standard
GENEVA ASSEMBLY GETS
 APPEAL TO AID RUSSIA
Equator. Find That Virtually All Questions Before League Are Pure 1y European in Interest, While Theirs Is Common With Those of United States.

Geneva. Sept. 9, (By Associated Press) ).-Should President Harding see fit to create a new society of na- tions. Columbia will be among the first to apply for membership.
 A. F. Restrepo, chief of the Co., lombian delegation to the league of nations assembly made this declara- tion today in discussing a report that Colombia, among other South Amer ican states might withdraw from the league because of its rejection of the Argentine amendment to the co--e- nant of the league. providing that all sovereign states should be members of the league unless by their own volition they abstained from mem bership. He said Colombia did not regard the rejection of the amend ment as sufficient reason to leave the league.
 Others Will Follow.
 Senor Restrepo added that he be- lieved all the other South and Cen tral American states would follow Colombia into the new society, should it be formed. Asked if this could be construed as meaning these states would withdraw from the present league in such event, Senor ReStrepo said:
 We would have to wait and see. but, nevertheless, it is a question if rublic opinion in South America would suppor- two leagues"
 "The South American countries are finding that virtually all questions be- fore the league are purely European in interest" continu,d Senor Res trepo Nearly all our interests.

Unfair Not to Have Mi- nority Party Repre-. sented in Matters of Such
Underwood Prominently Mentioned-Root Likely to Be Fourth Member of Delegation

Washington, Sept. 9.-President Harding has made it known that the main American delegation to the armament conference probably will not have more than four members and that one of the four probably will be a democrat.
 In reply an appeal from Representa- tive Jeffers, democrat, Alabama, that | a former Serviceman be named as one of the American commissioners the president. under date of Septem- Der wrote MT. Jeffers that "it does not seem likely that it will be practical to bring an ex-service man of tempor- ary experience into the conference be- cause of the very limited number in the delegation and the further fact that the larger military and naval information necessary to justify pru- dent action will necessarily come from actual service men who devote all their time to naval and military prob- lems.''
 Small Delegations
 The president also told MT. Jeffers he was writing the letter lon the presumption that the main delegation would be a very small one probably not exceeding four in mem bership."
 After commenting on the selection of Secretary Hughes as head of the delegation and Senator Lodge as one of it's members MT. Harding said:
 Looks at Questions Fairly
 Because the matter is wholly pa- triotic and national in scope should be very. dissatisfied if I could not have outstanding representation of the present minority in congress"
 No mention. however, was made as fo yyhn fo o&or Hughes and Senator Lodge, probably would be chosen as members of the delegation but the belief prevailed in Washington today that Elihu Root, former secretary of state would be given a place. One report was that MT. Root actually was offered place at his conference yesterday with the president and Secretary Hughes but this was without official confirmation.
 Senator Underwood of Alabama democratic leader of the senate has been prominently mentioned every time the question of democratic repre- sentation on the delegation has arisen.

HARDING INTENDS TO NAME DEMOCRATAS ONE OF FOUR
 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
$20O,O0O ISSUE OF
 BONDS IS NECESSARY
Water Boards Project For Pumping Station is
 Expensive One.

The issue of bonds to the amount of $200,00O will be necessitated for the completion of the first installment in the water boards plan for the extension of the city's water supply, but at the office of the commission this m orning it was stated that funds other than that derived from the sale of bonds will be used for the work.
 This appropriation of funds is felt advisa ble on account of unfavora ble conditions in the bond market. It is possible that the entire job can be completed without the bond issue. In this event the cty's bonds must ben placed on the market at a later date so that several accounts which will be drawn on may be reimbursed. It is hoped, however, that the sale can be deferred until the market is more favorable. The common council has approved contracts for the installment and the work will be undertaken at once.
 The first installment provides a method of pumping ground water into thepipe lines near White Bridge, Bristol. Because of difficulty in reach ing a-satisfactory a agreement with the electro power company, there is a possibility that oil engines will be used in place of electric power. Twelve wells are to be sunk, all to be operated by one pumping station.
 Chairman w. B. Rossberg of the board admitted this morning that the extension of the storage facilities is more to be desired than the pumping apparatus since the use of the latter is deendent upon the completeness of the former. When Shuttle Meadow is fairly high, there is no occasion for pumping, he explained, but there are times of draught when such a system is very desirous.
