ONLY MINOR FIGHTS
AS PARIS OBSERVES
JOAN OF ARC DAY

Paris, May 10 (AP)-The most
Imposing police forces modified in
Paris since May Day, 1919 and the
great energy they, displace in sup
pressing incipient disorders, were
responsible for the Joan of Arc cele-
bration today remaining free from
bloodshed, which had been feared in
official quarters. Several clashes be-
tween manifestants and the police
occurred but no one was severely in
jured. A large number of mani
festants were taken to the police sta
lions but only one was detained on a
charge of carrying a revolver.
Fifty thousand persons filed past
the statues of Frances national saint
on the Place de st. Augustine and
the Rue Rivoli while about 5000
police patrolled the streets between
those points.
I'VE will no longer permit any
manifestations on the streets, no
matter from what quarters they may
be organized" the project of police
M. Morain, informed the correspon-
dents in explaining the impressive
police array. The streets must be
safe for the pedestrians, and politi-
cal factions may no longer use them
as battle field"
Mounted municipal guards were on
patrol, breaking up any attempts of
the members of the Patriots League
from assembling in marching order.
The government prohibited process
ions on May Day and enforced the
same policy today.
l. The Nationalist evening papers
bitterly assailed the police for what
they call rough work and unneces-
sary violence. Among those who
suffered was General De Castelnau.
former chief of the general staff,
who, La Liberte asserts was beat
en- by plain clothesmen.
Joan of Arc, although national
festival since 1920, remains essential
~ a day of Royalists and Catholics
and the Patriots League headed by
General Castelnau organized and
staged today's demonstration.
Throughout France the day is a re-
ligious holiday. while special servi-
, ces were held in Paris in the Made
line, Notre Dame and st. Augustine
churches.

Protests Proposed
Tipping of Seamen

Washington, May 10 American
seamen have mo liberation for the
idea that they be made tipsters,"
Andrew Furuseth, president of the
international Seamens Union of
American declared today in a letter
to President Coolidge, opposing the
proposal of Chairman O'Connor of
the shipping board for payment of a
bonus to American seamen out of
the treasury.
Wages paid American seamen are
now actually not more than two per-
cent above the foreign scales, Mr..
Furuseth said, and he contended this
differential would not exist if the
seamen's act had been enforced"
Although American flag ships do
operate under a serious adverse cost
differential as compared with foreign
ships, he said, this was largely due
to inefficiency and expense of repairs
not made by the ships own crew.

Chinese government, it is reported in
league circles, has abandoned Its
policy of insistence on seat on the

BRZUCH WITHDRAWS
 SECOND PETITION
Has Served Most of One Year Minimum For Selling
 Liquor
Board of Pardons Frees Two Life Prisoners

The State Board of Pardons, of which Dr. s. R. Overlook of Pomfret is member, met at Hartford Monday, to hear a long list of petitioners. Two men serving life sentences were uncon- ditionally pardoned by the board, Thirty-six applications were refused after thirty-seven appeals for pardons or communications had been voluntarily withdrawn.
 Among those who withdrew their petitions was Charles Brzuch of Put nam. Brzuch, a Putnam storekecper, was sentenced January 20. 1925. to from one to four years in states pris- on after he had been found guilty on several counts for violation of the li- quor law. In addition to the sentence to imprisonment a fine of si 800 was imposed. IL is understood that the fine has been paid.
 While no reason was given for the withdrawal of the petition 1t may be assumed that Brzuch, having served nearly the minimum of his term, may be paroled as matter of course within a few months. He had petition ed the board once before and the pc tition was denied.
 Brzuch was arrested with a dozen others following work by detectives brought to Putnam by the states at- torney's office and he was considered the leader by officials. Brzueh. during his trial, went to the county jail at Brooklyn and talked with one of the states witnesses incareerated there. The court was convinced that it was due to this interference by Brzueh that the witness, when put on the stand by the states attorney, took the state by surprise when he testified that he had never bought liquor from Brzuch. the states attorney claiming that the witness had told Prosecuting Attorney F. If. Johnson of the Put nam city court and others that he had bought of Brzueh many times. The sentence imposed by Judge Newell Jennings was the most severe sentence ever imposed in this state on a liquor law violator up to that time.
