Lyman Says Possession Is Nine Points of Law And Thinks Super- natural Guidance Is Tenth.
Insists on Remaining Where He Worked 20 Years Without Pay Tells of Talks With Dead Employer.

East Hampton, Conn, Jan, s. Herbert Lyman, farm hand who claims to have served 20 years on the farm of the late Phoebe Simon, without pay, and who has refused to leave the farm because of spirit ualistic conversations he claims 10 have had with hts former employer, declared today that he would never vacate the farm until forced to do 90 by the hand of the law. Pro- ceedings in the local justice court, brought by the administrator of Mrs Simon's estate to oust Lyman, are assigned for hearing on Satur- day.
 Possession Is nine points of the law" said Lyman, and with the spirit of Mrs. simon to guide me I shall remain here as long as the law permits"
 Four Conversations.
 Lyman declared that he had had four conversations with the spirit of his former employer.
 The first he said was about two weeks after her death when she ap- peared 10 him in his chamber ofthe old home, he said.
 Herbert come with me, you are too good to stay here," Lyman says Mrs, simon's spirit said to him. He interpreted this 10 mean that she had missed his many kindnesses to her while she was alive.
 The second appearance of the spirit came sometime later, Lyman said, when he was addressed in these words:
 Don't leave your home. They can't drive you away from here"
 Lyman said that he interpreted this message to refer to Mrs. Simon's statement to him before her death that he should have the farm be- cause of his faithful service.
 The Other Two Visits.
 The other two visits of the spirit of Mrs. simon to him, Lyman said, were to call him at 5 o'clock in the morning to get lip and do the farm work.
 With reference to the statement of the administrators of Mrs. simon's 8 estate that he had been offered the farm and stock and implements, Lyman declared that he had worked in local factories before going to the Simon farm and most of hld savings while a factory worker had been spent in maintaining the farm build ings and In purchase Of much of the stock and farm implements. It was for the reason that Mrs. Simon had been unable 10 pay him wages that she had promised him the farm, Ly- man declared.

CURTIN TO RUN DOWN BROADCASTING FIEND
Believes He Can Stop In- terruption of Radio
 Program

Electrical Inspector Cyril J. Cur tin announced this afternoon that he has worked out plan whereby he feels certain he can locate the person responsible for interference with ra- dio programs in this city, and he be- leves his system will be productive of results within a few hours after it Is put in operation.
 The interference is generally be- lieved to have been caused by some radio amateur who has constructed or purchased a sending set which he puts In operation nightly. His broad castings sent in amateurish fashion, have resulted in steady interruption of programs during the entire period .ot his experimaRts Hundreds of complaints have been heard and rro- testations sent to newspapers in the hope that the amateur sender might be brought to realization of the annoyance he causes other radio fans have been of no avail. Each night the interference goes on for 1 varying lengths or time. Last night the broadCaster was considerate enough to "cut in" for only a short period.
 The electrical inspector believes Ithe source tf these broadca stings can 1 he traced by means of an inside an- tenna earned in an automobile, the va riations of sound indicating the proximity of the moving automobile to the sending station. When the immediate neighborhood Is located, which Is believed to be somewhere in the eastern section of the town. overhead wires will give away the hiding place of the amateur sender, | Curtin believes.
 Since a state law requires that all radiocasters be licensed, 1t will be a simple matter to end the activities of the annoyer, in the opinion of the electrical inspector.

NAVY SECRETARY
 BROWNS ON PLANS
Wilbur Does Not Recommend
 Gun Elevation
OR NEW CONSTRUCTION
Explains to Congress That He Would Like U. S. Navy To Be On Strict 5-5-3 Ratio But It Would Be loo Costly For Administration.

Washington, Jan. 8.-Although he declared the nary department want ed a navy that would accord with the 5-5-3 ratio all down the line, Secretary Wilbur told tho house na- val committee today that because of the administrations economy policy he could not recommend a gun ele- vation program nor endorse a pend ing s70,000,00O bill for new con- struction.
 Takes Navy As Whole
 Reaffirming his previous state ments before a house appropriations sub- committee, Mir. Wilbur declared it was the policy of his department to apply the treaty ratio to auxiliar- ies, as we'll as capital ships, so that the navy as whole would be the equal of that of Great Britain and proportionately stronger in every class than that of Japan.
 With the completion of certain re- rairs on the battleship Florida, he said the battle fleet itself would be in first class condition. The Florida, he added, would be put in condition as soon as money is available.
 No Reason For Alarm
 On that basis, he asserted. there was no ground for alarm that the battle fleet was falling below the 5-5-3 ratio.
 In a letter signed by him and pre- sented to the committee at the same time he said he could make no rec (Contlnue on Tage 1G
