Salesman Blames Bad Connections
 for Troubles

From the sudden quieting of com plaints registered in New York
 against the Sunshine Homes & Con-
 crete Products company, Stratford
 it is apparent that the New York au-
 thorities are marking time until the expiration of the 10 days period by which the company was warned something tangible would have to be forthcoming in the way of houses or refunds, or that an investigation by the New York grand jury would fol- low.
 As the daily papers bring forth new angles from which the Sunshine Homes project may be viewed new people are also brought forth who are able to give additional infOrma- ton on the methods of the now ap- parently Gloomy Homes company. Yesterday there appeared in The Times an interview had with one of the salesmen who formerly sallied forth to spread Sunshine" through out the world.
 Another of the salesnnen who was cause of his severing his connections with the company said: q thought I saw the writing on the waH' and rendered my resignation"
 T believe, however. that Simon Lake was sincere in his efforts to pjlace upon the market the product of his fertile mind. but that the pres ent state of affairs of the company was brought about by the associates with whom Lake was connected It appears that every project under taken by him thus far has been one worthy of consideration but that he makes connections with people that do not prove themselves big enough to manage the project which they undertake.
 ''In but one instance do I recall any associate who was big enough to handle successfully the idea of the famous inventor. That was the pro- ject which was taken up by the late Frank Miller who evidently was big enough to put over the idea that was brought him by Lake,"
 The statement of the other sales man who said that they were given all sorts of promises and inducements to offer to the prospective purchasers was corroborated by the second Sunshine Disp penser."
