JOB FOR COOLIDGE
Poland And Switzerland Want To Know If He Would Be Willing To Act As Mediator.

Washington, April 16,-The Swiss and Polish ministers in Washington today asked President Coolidge through the state department wheth- CT the president of the United States would he willing to accept the re- sponsibility of appointing chairmen for conciliation and arbitration trib- unaIs in possible future disputes be- tween Poland and Switzerland.
 The request is the outcome of a treaty signed last March between Switzerland and Poland in which it is specified that a permanent court of conciliation consisting of i've members he appointed for the settle ment of any dispute between Poland and Switzerland.
 The treaty provides that should the commission members be unable 10 agree upon a chairman then the duty of appointment shall devolve upon the president of the United States.
 Should President Coolidge accept the invitation the duty of appoint ment would naturally deyolve not only upon himself but on his suc- Ccssors.

FREEMAN DENIES
 AVIATION WASTE
Declares Howl at Washington Is ], Simply Propaganda

"The recent gossip about $400,- 100000 having been spent on ayia- ton by the government, and nothing here to show for 1t, Is an overflow of wartime German propaganda and not real Americanlsm." This statement was made to the New Britain Rotary club today by Major Talbott o. Freeman, state commis- sloner of aviation and commander of the 23rd division of the aviation service.
 Major Freeman opened his ad- dress by referring to "Garbled re- ports about air service" He said the alleged injustice of the cross H. cense agreement, whereby the manufacturer of one type of air plane could use the invention of an- other during the war, was pure Ger man propaganda.
 All this bowling about the tre- mendous waste of $400,O00,000 is largely bunk, and a carefully pre- pared propaganda program to keep the United States air service as low as possible"
 He said he did not like war and believed that the best way to pre- vent war was to be prepared. "The best and cheapest way to be pre- pared is through air service" he added.
 He explained General Mitchell's statement that the United States has only IS airplanes, by stating that there are only IS planes in the country of the type which can com pare with French and English war machines. These machines, he said, are capable of going 175 to 1S0 miles an hour and can land at the rate of 60 miles per hour. He said the American stream line plane can travel at the rate of 266 miles an hour, while the French machine can make 2T5.
 Most of the s4OO,0OO,000 has gone into the development of diff ferent types of airplanes," he ex. plained.

BUILDING DISPUTE
 NOT YET AT END
Commissions Report on An. dreES' House Is Not Adopted

The dispute over whether a build ins erected by Charles s. Andrews at 20 Lake Boulevard Is two or three family dwelling Is not yet at an end. despite report of the building commission In which 1t is claimed the house Is a two family structure and in accordance with Andrews permit.
 When the building committee sub mitted It's report to the common council last night, Councilman Arthur N. Rutherford. a former building inspector and building commissioner moved that 1t be ac- cepted for printing in the minutes without any further action. The vote to print the report was unani- nous. Tn view of Councilman RItherford's statement at the last council meeting in which he said, unqualifedly,s the house Is of the three family type. The councils failure to adopt the commissions re- ! port Is taken as significant.
 Secretary Thomas Firth of the building commission submitted the following report at last nights meet ing:
 'The building commissioners have inspected Charles & Andrews buiild- ing located at 20 Lake Boulevard which he obtained permit for, and have also inspected plans which call for two tenenIents with four rooms on the third floor and find he is strictly abiding by his. plans. a-
 The commissioners went over the electric lighting system very care fully and found that the house was wired for two families, also car penter work, and found the third floor ceilings were tso low for house. keeping unit.
 Plumbing was found to have no connection for sink or tray on third floor. but bathroom which is per fectly' all right. The hot water for this bathroom must be heated from the second floor range boiler which Mir Andrews understands"

CONFUSION MARKS
 EARLY DEALINGS
No Definite Trend as Wall
 Street Opens Today

New York, April 1ss-The confu- sion of speculative sentiment was in- tensincd at tho opening of today's st tock market, with prices churning about considerably and failing to deSelop definite trend. oil shares worked lower in reflection of another increase in crude output and rumors of intending price cuts, and Butte & Superior Copper fell If points to a new low price for the year. Willys- s-overland was in good de- mand.
 Motor shares turned reactionary in the subsequent dealings despite heavy acc,Anulation of the Willys- Overland issues. Both the common and preferred touched new 1925 high prices at 15B and 94, respectively, in expectation of favorable develop ments at special directors meet ing. Prices of popular industrials generally were shaded. U. s. Cast Iron Pipe fell from its early high of 169 IA to 162S, with a 3-point break between sales. Baldwin, American Can, Hudson Motors, Max we'll E and Republic Steel were among the issues to decline a point or more. Several high grade spe- cialties were strong, Western Union, Postum Cereal and United States Realty moving up about points each. Nickel Plate responded to the progress made in the merger hear ings at Washington. Foreign ex- changes opened steady, sterling holding around SAYS IA.
 In the morning the main body of stocks drifted downward under fair ly active selling, oil, sugar and cop per shares were reactionary in re- sponse to the lowering of commodity prices. U. S. Cast Iron Pipe, which has been feeling the effects of French competition, broke to 160 be- fore it encountered buying support which sent 1t back to 166. Butte & Superior extended its loss to 3 5-g points. Maxwell, Willys Overland and Fisk Rubber issues were accu- mulated on a large scale. Good buy ing also was noted in Radio Corpora tion, Tidewater oil, Otis Elevator and U. S. Realty. The rails dis played a firm undertone. Call money renewed at 3kper cent.
