claimants now represented in the

since last July, when President Har-
ding issued a proclamation OF peace
with Germany, to get back the seized

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Dec. 17.--Shall

This is the question which is sgitat-

majority of the citizens on one side
and the city officials on tho other.
After the fire in the Rialto Theater
which cost nine lives on Sunday, No

While Coroner Eli Mix began his
inquest which is to determine respon-
sibility for the fire, state police In
spectcd all the theaters in the city and
promptly closed one, the Globe, mo-
tion picture house, on the charge that
alterations had been made without
proper permission.
A few days later Mayor David e.
FitzGerald ordered Chief of Police
Philip T. Smith to revoke all theater
licenses and give the owners forty
eight hours to obtain new ones.

be safe in case of fire, and complied
with all building regulations in effect
at the time Of their erection, they did
not come up to the standard of the re-
vised building code which became effec-
tive March i, 1920.
Counsel for the theaters asserted
that if the code were retroactive on
the show business it certainly must
have equal effect on the other build
ings in the city. City officials, how
ever, remained obdurate in their stand
that the theaters must close.

not take kindly to this, and no atten-

Sent Commissioners From
Both Sides of Hudson
Meetings Will Be Held
Outlook Is New York and
Jersey Legislatures Will
Find Approval Is Desired

The Port Authority's general. project
for the development of the Port Of New
York, judging from letters and COM
munications received by the commits
sioners constituting this interstate
board, is winning support from all
sides, making it probable that when the
adoption of comprehensive plan
comes before the next legislatures in
Albany and Trenton public sentiment
will be backing it solidly.
The commissioners and the engineers
have been in conference siace last July
with representative organizations and
individuals from the entire area to be
embraced in the development. There
are not only the chambers of COM
merce, civic associations and kindred
groups of public-spirited citizens, but
virtually all of the women's clubs
throughout the metropolitan area, and
the various state federations. The
Port Authority also has been in touch
with every agency of business within
sympathy with the principle of CO.
ordinated development of the port.
Various conference committees which
Tor months have been studying phases
OF the subject will hold meetings this
week to discuss the Port Authority's S
plan. Tomorrow at ] o'clock in the
Hotel McAlpin committee of the silk
trade will meet at luncheon rendered
By George Post and Benedict Erskine.
These men are interested in the devel
opment of the metropolitan district.
The manufacturing establishments of
the men who will be present at the
luncheon are in Paterson and other
Jersey places, while their offices and
reason they are not only concerned
with better freight transportation
through railroad belt lines but they are
specifically concerned in the plans for
motor trunk line highways which the
Port Authority has tentatively laid
down on its maps.
Ex-Governor Alfred E. Smith will de-
liver an address on the transportation
question. Mr. Smith is q member of
the Port Authority He is expected to
outline some of the newer recomnen-
dations TO be made to the Legislature.
Tomorrow afternoon at 3:45 a meet
Ing will be held in the Congregational
Church, Plainfield, N. t. to discuss
port plans.
Tomorrow night there are to be con-
[erences on the Port Authority's plans

BE PUT IN STORAGE

1t has developed that the 1929 to-

ped. is estimated at from 10000 TO IS
600 hogsheads of tobacco larger than
usual The result is that the only al
tentative to an embargo ON tobacco
by the State Tobacco Warehouse is
the securing of additional warehouse
space for the time needed.
The Board of Public Works has.
accordingly approved a contract to
lease space in Mccormick Company's
warehouse. adjacent to the State To-
bacco Warehouse. which will afford
ample facilities for taking care of the
entire crop. The proximity of the
leased quarters TO the State Tobacco
Warehouse enables the Tobacco In
spector to use in the leased quarters
the existing labor and equipment. The
rental will be paid from the State
