Butterworth Says Newspaper Charge
 Was Exaggerated

New Haven, Conn. Feb. 2s-stats Treasurer F. S. Butterworth of the American Legion in a statement made today criticized as an exaggerated and unfair presentation of the facts. A story printed in a Hartford newspa- per today, which told of the payment of bills of $124.15 and $109.05 respec- lively from the state fund for ex-ser- vice men, for banquets at the Hotel Taft in this city. at meetings of the local distributors of the funds throughout the state.
 MT. Butterworth declared that the meetings were of the chairmen of the various local committees about the state, numbering from 50 to 75; that the men who attended paid their own expenses in coming to this city and the only expense occurred for the 1uncheons which were furnished at the meetings. F'urth ermore he said that the state auditors in going over his accounts had passed upon these expenditures as fair and reason able, in their recent audit of the dis bursem ents.
 MT. Butterworth intimated further that the whole criticism of the man. agement of the state fund was based on an attempt to divert it's manage. ment into political channels.

 Prosecutor Heating made a plea for the commitment of the men to the county jail, stating that he thought the only way to stop this form of ''sIow suicide was a impose could not be done for the men to stop their craving for liquor. He stated that, although he did not think drug store owners sold the alcohol with the knowledge that it was to be used for internal purposes. he did think that they might use a little more discretion in handling their trade.

Crowds Flock To
 Local Office Of
 Bankrupt Brokers

New York, Feb. 23.-Suspension of S s. Ruskay and Company, stock brokers of Az Broadway, was an- nounced from the Consolidated Ex- change today. The company was de- cIared bankrupt in the United States District Court following an invoIun- tary application made fby Zalkin and Gohen, attorneys for the petitioners. Liabilities are listed at S2,50O,OOO and assets at $1,50O,0OO
 As soon as news of the failure reached this city the local office of Liberty building was besieged with creditors looking for some informa- ton as to the truth of the report.
 The crowd that stornmed the office was of such large proportions that the Times man found it difficult to enter the office. There were people from all spheres Of life from the scfons of wealth down through the middle class of clerks. men of affairs, to the low ly foreigners who reside in the East Side. These men had placed their confidence in the s. s. Ruskay Go. and the hurt came as a complete sur- prise.
 A true statement of the case as made to a Times reporter this morn ing was that the fires was suspended and that an involuntary petition in bankruptcy was filed against the con cern. It was said that they conSid- cred the matter in an unfortunate light but that there was no cause TOT alarm as every cFe1llof Wouid De paid dollar for dollar upon his inves-- ments. The following exclusive state ment that was received direct from the New York office was also given to The Times.
 District Attorney Jackson gave out the statement in part follow:
 So far as at present aScertainable the tangible known assets of s. s. Rus kay & Co. are in excess of a million and half dollars. The liabilities ap- proXimate $2,50O,O00 and may be less than that amount. The receivership while unfortunate in it's effect upon the good will and business of the firm is fortunate in that it will materially aid in hquidating the assets and prevent preferences which necessarily arise out of an historical run upon a. brok- craze house by it's clientele. The mem bers of the firm are all prepared to stand behind the house and make good to every one of its creditors.

Chief Says Craft O. K.

Newport News, Va, Feb. 23.-By A. P-)-The statement was made to- day by lieutenant Colonel A. S. Fisher, chief of the lighter than air service at Langley Field, home station of the ill., | fated Roma, that 'tthere was nothing | wrong with the craft when she left 1 here Tuesday,
 1 The statement of Colonel Fisher re- ferred to assertions made in Chicago 1 last night by Dr. J. M- Nicholson, quoting from a letter written by Lieu tenant Clifford F. Snythe, a victim of the disaster, after the Roma's trip to Washington last December. In this connection Lieutenant Fisher said:
 Knowing Lieutenant Snythe as I did I cannot believe that he has been correctly quoted in Chicago rel ative to his letter to his father in which he is said to have declared the R Oma. unsafe"
 Climate Affected Engines.
 Relative to the Washington trip of the Roma the colonel added q desire to say that she behaved very
 nicely under most trying weather wrong except our speed, which was a trif1e slow at times on account of the Italian engines not working well in this clamate. These motors were replaced and there was nothing wrong with the craft when she left here Tuesday on what proved to be her last flight.
 "Lieutenant Snythe returned from Washington by steamer after making the flight from Langley Field to the capital on the Roma, because he was ! ordered to do so. Several higher of ficers wanted to make the return flight for experim entta1 purposes and Lieutenant SInythe and others were sent back to Langley Field by steam CT to make room for them. No Criminal Negligence. feTHere must be some mistake some where, for am certain there was no criminal negligence and don't believe Lieutenant Snythe would have made such a charge even to his father.
 ''The Roma disaster, has cast a pail of gloom, not only over Langley Field and vicinity, but also the whole nation,a nd charges ref1ecting on the men who went to their death Tues day should not be lightly made.
 t'The air service Is making a thor ough and searching investigation of the Roma disaster. and thus far there has been nothing found to indicate criminal negligence recently or at any other tirne-the machine was in first class shape"

Solution Of

 On A Divorce

Boston. Feb. 23.-Solution of the strange marital tangle Of MT. and Ms. Elmer R. Antc1iffe and Parker c. Mosher today hinged on a divorce for one of the Antcliffes.
 Friends and Hyde Park church as- sociates of Mrs. Antcliffe have pledg- ed her their support conditiona1ly- the condition being that she secure a divorce and marry Mosher. The laws of Massachusetts prevent her from doing this because she has for ten yesars lived as the wife of Mosher and borne him a child.
 Antcliffe is anxious to secure a di- vorce that he may wed Miss Helen Boates of Walthan. But he is serv- ing 30 day sentence for perjury. Ant cliffe, who said he was single. was ar rested when he sought to marry Miss Boates. The girl says she still loves him and will become his wife when he is legally separated from his wife.
 Mrs. Antcliffe has been called the gift wife, Of Mosher because of the wording of a peculiar document drawn up by Antc1iffe purporting to give her marital freedom.

DISAPPOINTMENT
 PLEASES IRISH

months while others acqu1eSce in 1t, as a matter affecting principally the Irish themselves. It is noteworthy that some of those which have re- fterated with much insistence the necessity for an immediate election raise no objection to the postpone ment.
 Dublin, Feb. 2s.-(By The A P.)- General satisfaction seems to be felt in southern Ireland over yesterday s months adjournment although some staunch supporters of the treaty arc disappoin and inclined to believe that the agreement between tine two Sim Fein factions was a Republican victory.
 One question much discussed was the probable fate of the treaty bill nov before the imperial parliament which, it is cOntended, is shattered to a great extent by the Ard Fheis de- dision.
 The political correspondent of ehe Freeman's Journal writes:
 Election In Foreground
 .rThe fact that the leaders of both parties were able to rise above their differences and seek ground for agree ment may be taken, one hopes, as a good augury for the future. De Val era's attitude toward an appeal to the people at this stage brought the ques- ton of a general election to the fore front as the main issue at the private conference.
 Personalities Crushed.
 "One may imagine that Arthur Griffith and Michael Collins were not convinced by argument that this was either an unwise or und esirable course, and they had, it would seem, to sink their personal views for the sake and in the hope of unity.
 'The new agreement will certainly take away the slightest vestige of justification from the officers of the south Tipperary Brigade whose proclamation against the Dali and their own general headquarters caus- ed a sensation yesterday as a step toward anarchy"
