COMES BY AIR TO SEE MOTHER ON BIRTHDAY
Capt. Mitchell Makes Trip From Washington by
 Airplane

Mrs. T. W. Mitchell of 90 Vine street had the happy surprise on her birthday which she Is observing today, of having her son, Captain Ralph Mitchell of the Marine Avia- tion Corps, literally drop out of the clouds for visit of felicitation on the happy occasion. Captain Mitchell, who is stationed in Wash ington, D. C., was piloting the plane which flew about the city Saturday.
 Some time ago. he wrote his mother and told her that he planned 10 make a visit to Hartford soon and when he did, he would fly over his home here. He asked her to watch out for him. On Saturday, Captain Mitchell remembering that his mother was to observe her birth day today, decided that 1t would be the most propitious time for him to pay her a visit. Accordingly, he selected a bi-plane of the Nought type, more commonly known as a pursuit plane, and started north alone. He made the trip in very few hours and came directly to New Britain and lowered over his home. Ills mother realizing that her son was in the air. left the house and waved to the plane soaring over head Then Captain Mitchell went to Hartford and parked the plane at the avaition field there.
 He spent today at his home and planned to return to his post today but from appearances of the wealth CT, he felt that he would probably have 10 postpone the trip until a better time.
 Captain Mitchell has teen in serv- ice for the past If years. He went 10 the naval academy in 1911 and graduated from there in 1915. He then joined the Marine corps and has been flying for about five years. He Is stationed in Washington. D. C., with the |. s, bureau of aero nautics.

Is not the present plans of the company to make an increase in It's capital stock" Mir. Holmes said to- day without equivocation.
 North & Judd is in strong position financially. With a capi- tallzation of s2,5OO,000, 1t had a surplus of s6l2,96O.35 on July i, 1925. This would be sufficient for a cash payment for all the stock of Traut G Hine, of which there are 10000 shares, at sS a share, the price agreed upon, according to a statement sent out to stockholders by the board of directors of Traut & Hine. If North & Judd paid cash and acquired all the stock in the company, the purchase would cast sS2o,oo0. In addition, it would be necessary for North & Judd to as- sume bonds of $225,0o0 issued bv Traut x Hine. According to the grand list for 1925, the plant of the Traut x Hine Co. Is assessed on $668,000.
 The theory that North & Judd VIII pay cash for the Traut &. Hlne plant Is strengthened by the tone or the letter sent out to Traut & Hlne stockholders in which no men, tion is made of any proposed swap- ping of stock or other arrangement or this nature. The letter follows:
 You are hereby notified that a special meeting of the stockholders of the Traut & Hine Manufacturinp company will bo held at the office of the company in New Britain. at 1:3O D. rn' on April 24th, 1925, to vote on a resolution of the board of dI- rectors recommending to the stock holders that the company sell sub stantially all of its assets, includinr the good will of the business, to the North & Judd Manufacturing com- pany, all as set forth in written pro- posal of the buyer to be submitted to the special stockholders' meeting. the directors estimating that from the proceeds of this sale and of the reserved assets that stockholders will eventually receive an equivalent to eight dollars per share or better,
 Tn the event that 1t is incon- venient for you to attend this meet Ing, will you sign the enclosed proxy and return it to the secretary of the Traut & Hine Manufacturing com- pany, so that the same will be re- ceived by him on or before April 2Srd, 1925. The company. acting as your agent, will affix the necessary revenue stamps.

 "I sat one morning in a railway coach. The man in front of me opened his paper and turned at once 10 the two sport pages. For nearly aD hour he read and read, devouring every scrap of baseball news, tennis, l'rize fights, the standing of the clubs and such. Only this and nothing more.

RIM CV '"Hoo pioy, HUM UlBaqp1 ,,,,. "ldsq 1' 2, ENGLAND FALLING 4 lII,'; ';'' Most Of Sir HartWell's Liquor
 Is COnfSCated
 INVESTORS ARE LOSERS
British Press, Commenting on Losses Sustained by Booze Baron, offer
 No Sympathy-Washlngton Pleas
 ed at Results.

London, April 20.-The Daily Mail asserts that Sir Frederick Hart%ell left England month ago to super intend delivery 10 an American syndicate of his seventh and largest shipment of spirits, but that the consignment has met with a series of misadventures and most of 1t is now in the hands of the American prohibition authorities.
 The paper prints telegram al- legged to have been received from the baronet by his London office, as fol- lows: "Visit discloses appalling situ- ation. Over 3O,0O0 CD seized Balance transferred to three schoon- CTS. At present safe, but cannot reach or communicate.
 Message of Failure
 Few thousand unloaded, but re- sulting funds paid out for charter ing vessels. No funds available un- less schooners land goods, at pres ent impossible owing to intensive campaign. Returning soonest pos sible. Communicate to inquirers with deepest regrets"
 The Daily Mail remarks that the 800 persons who supplied the funds 10 buy the whiskey are hardly likely to get much return. Sir Brodcrick is expected to arrive In London today or tomorrow.
 It is recalled that the baronet's circulars inviting the public to par ticipate in his ventures promised a profit at the rate of 120 per cent.
 The reported failure of his ex- petition causes another paper, the Star, to remark that previous little sympathy need be wasted" on him and his supporters, adding:" We be- lieve most of the English people will regard 1t as quite a satisfactory sit- uation."
 Would Respect Laws
 "This country" the paper con. tinues, "does not believe in prohibit ton, but it does believe in respecting the laws of other countries, and the organized effort of this British baronet and his friends to defeat the extremely interesting and respect worthy experiment of the United States is a scandal which is far toe long. xxx
 This whiskey running affair is a sneaking, furtive affront to a friend ly nation which is trying out noble experiment. We hope this blow will put an end to t."

Washington Gratificd

Washington. April 20.-The re- ported failure of Sir Frederick Hart wells latest effort to dispose of huge quantities of liquor to rum runners off the Atlantic coast was described today by Prohibition Commissioner Haynes as outstanding evidence of an increasingly successful war on the rum smuggler.
 The work of smugglers is daily becoming more difficult, Haynes said. and in time that problem will be solved. He avowed that the Hart well exploit was merely an incident in the fight.
 Profits of the British liquor syndicate, Haynes added, are known to have been "very unsatisfactory, in fact, until last year."

 By Flames Early This Morning

but so far as known there had been no one in thehouse for four days. There had been no fire in the place since September and the electric wirs were disconnected last fall. The fire, first seen at 4:40 this morning apparently started in the main din- ing room.
 Fire Apparatus Useless
 The five pieces of fire apparatus in Guilford responded to an alarm and the volunteer members worked hard to save property. The hydrant at the Point was stopped up and water could not be obtained from if. The tide was low and sea water could not be drawn through the hose. It would have been impossi- bleto save the main house as it was entirely ablaze when the apparatus arrived.
 In the hotel was much furniture, silver and linen and all the equip ment needed In maintaining the place. In the upper story also was stored. considerable furniture be- longing to the family. some of 1t having been in the family a long time. Apparently, little or nothing was saved from the main house.
 Was Very Old House
 The hotel had been previously burned In April 1897. It had been in thefamily since 1S44, when Robert Hunt camehere from Glas- tonbury and bought the Point prop erty. Mrs. S. NJ. Bryan. who now owns theplace, is a grand daughter of Mir Hunt, and her son who has assisted in the management of the hotel is of the fourth generation.
