Likens It to Prohibition Enforcement Act, Call ing It "Foolish Legis- lation' 'Favors Set- ting One Clock on Day. light Time
Would Be Pleased to Have Resolution Presented in Common Council 10 In. itiate Litigation Over Legislatures Ukase.

Mayor Angelo M. Paonessa favors defiance by the City Of New Britain of the act recently passed by the legislature pro- hibiting the display of any time other than standard time so that the city may start a test case to determine the constitutionality of the act, which he terms as ri- diculous and likens to the prohi- bition enforcement act as fool ish legislation
 The mayor would be pleased, he said today, to have a resolu- ton introduced at the next ses- sion of the common council to have the municipality enter into litigation to oppose enforcement of the new law.
 Mayor Paonessa asserted that many hundreds of persons who make daily trips through the center of the city have been accustomed to rely on the clocks in the First and South church steeples for the time of day. Since the enactment of the standard time act, the First church has taken the hands off the clock and the South church has stopped the clock at F o'clock where the hands will remain until the community again adjusts it. self to standard time. This works a great inconvenience, the mayor says. and he feels that the situation war rants the action he suggests,
 The mayor does not favor open and continuance defiance of the law, it is explained, but would urge the setting on daylight saving time of some pub lie clock in the center of the city. When prosecution was started he would have the city defend the indi- vidual who assumed responsibility and as the case went through the courts the powers of the state to en- force the act might readily be deter mined, it is explained.

Washington, June 13.-Informal ne- gotiations initiated by the state de- partment with various maritime pow CTS contemplate q solution on a re- ciprocal basis of the ship liquor con. troversy and of the rum smuggling through exercise of the treaty making power of the government.

 While this landing was consider ably smaller than fin the days when the fleet was without maritime guards, local runners hailed the nights work as a signal victory.
 Only One Casualty
 The smugglers suffered only one casualty. The cutter Manhattan seized motor boat and two men while it was alongside q mother ship apparently bargaining for a cargo.
 Taking advantage of the low visi- bility the runners dashed from shore in their swift craft to the liquor fleet lying 15 miles off shore. While flotilla put out if was re- ported that the liquor was loaded aboard only six speed boats the others acting as deeoys.

 Admit Guilt

New York, June 13.--Edward Full Her and.W. Frank McGee, stock oroK- CTS who starred in New Yorks most sensational bucket shop case, today pleaded guilty to the charge of buck eting an order from Franklin l.. Link of Westmoreland, Tenn. and were re- manded for sentence Friday. The brokers, members of the firm of E. NJ. Fuller and Co.,, failed sev- eral months ago for upwards of s4,- 000,0o0.
 They were committed to iail for contempt after they failed to produce papers which had been ordered by the supreme court of the United States to be turned over to the trustee in bankruptcy.
 Two disagreements and d mis-triai resulted after the men were indicted. The fourth trial was to have started Monday, and postponements gave rise to rumors that the brokers intended to change their pleas.
 Edward McManus is now under in- dictment charged with having sought to bribe iuryman in one of the three trials.
 The brokers said they had decided to throw themselves on tho mercy of the court. against the advice of their lawyers, William J, Fallon and Eu- gene F.. McGee.
 MT. Fallon yesterday declared the district attorney could never prove either of them guilty of any of the crimes charged. The two defendants professed the same confidence but there was a rumor current in criminal courts buildings that the pair had de- cided to be good fellows" and save the names of influential friends whose names had entered the case.
 This factor was believed to be the steadfast determination of District At torney Banton to keep right trying the two men until they were either con victed or acquitted by trial jurors on all of the 14 indictments returned against them.
