80 YEARS ON JOB And
IS ALWAYS PUNCTUAL
Edward Conlin, ST., Half
Century in Employ Of
Stanley Works

Edward Conlin. Sr, of 104 Hart
street, completed so years of service
in the butt department of the Stan
lay Works today and observed the an
niversary by appearing at the same
old bench at which he has worked
for many years at Z o'clock this morn
ing.
Mr.. Conlin observed his 10th birth
day Saturday and that anniversary al
SO found him about his days work as
usual.
John Dunlay, foreman of the de-
partment in which Mr. Conlin works,
is also so years a Stanley Worker,
having entered the employ of the
concern a short time prior to Mr..
Conlin.
When Mr.. Conin became connected
with the concern it was a compare
lively small factory. He has on-
served its growth over the past half
a century until today it is one of the
largest in the country and the second
largest manufacturing concern in the
city of New Britain, the American
Hardware Corpora tion being the larg-
est, according to valuations as shown
in the last grand list
Through the half century that he
has been a Stanley Worker, Mr.. Con-
lin has worked continuously in the
butt department. He is regarded as
an expert on that type of work and
his services are now used as those of
a utility man, as he is able to fill in
at practically any job in the depart
ment. In recent years he has handled
all repair work coming
into the butt department and his SUI
periors speak in glowing terms of the
skill and finish with which he does
the work entrusted to him.
Though he has now passed mans
allotted three score and ten years,
Mr.. Conin is one of the first employees
of the butt department to be at his |
place every morning when the Z
D'clock whistle blows, and he is lively
and cheerful when the 6 o'clock eve
hing whistle sounds the end of the
working day. He is in good health
md of most cheerful disposition, and
S one of the most popular employees
II the concern.

Supreme Court Gives I'm
portant Decision Affect
ing Enforcement Of
Eighteenth Amendment
on High Seas
Does Rule However, Vessels
Cannot Bring Cargo in
for Use on Return Trip to
Europe.

Washington, April 30--Foreign and
t American steamships are prohibited
from bringing into American ports in
toxicating liquor under seal intended
for the use of passengers on outward
voyages, the supreme court held to-
day in cases involving the bone dry
ruling of Attorney General Daugh-
erty.
The effect of the supreme court de-
cison was to affirm to that extent
the action of Federal Judge Hand in
New York upholding the Daugherty
opinion.
At the same time, however, the
highest court held that American
steamships are not prohibited from
having aboard Intoxicating liquor for
beverage purposes on the high seas
and in foreign ports.
The ruling of Attorney Gen. Daugh-
erty against the serving of liquor on
American ships on the high seas was
overturned today by the supreme
court, which held at the same time,
However, that the ban prohibiting
beth foreign and American ships
from bringing liquor stocks into
American ports under bond was legal
and enforceable.
Can Sell Outside Limit.
The court held that the prohibition
amendment could not be legally ap-
piled to prevent American ships SELL
ing beverages when they are outside
American territorial waters. To that
extent the decision reserved a decision
in the case by Federal Judge Hand at
New York
Within the three mile limit, how
ever the court found that an entirely
different situation obtained. Sustain
ing the position taken by Judge Hand
ON that point the decision declared it
illegal for American or foreign ships
to bring into American ports or waters
liquor sealed in bond for the use of
passengers on outgoing voyages.

London. April S0.--The convention
under which Rear Admiral Colby NJ

granted development concessions in
Anatolia has been signed at Angora
the Turkish nationalist capital, says
an Exchange Telegraph dispatch from
Constantinople today.
Announcement of ratification by the
Turkish nationalist assembly OF the

sion was made at Angora on April / 0.
Intense interest was aroused by the
announcement that an American en-
terprise had been successful in OBJ
tanning development rights of such
magnitude. Opposition to anything In
the grant that might conflict with the
rights of the nationals of other coun-
tries which had made commercial or
development agreements with the
Turks has been strongly in evidence
since notably from French and Brit
ish quarters, and the subject of the
concession has been already a topic of
considerable informal discussion at
the renewed Lausanne Near East
peace conference.
While the Agency message from
Constantinople gives no details it
seems probable that the agreement
between the Turkish government and
