Invitations to the banquet were received today by citizens who have been interested in the campaign and who have contributed thought or time to its success. In the invitations is the statement, "The campaign has succeeded"
 The drive was carried on quietly. There was no elaborate organization of solicitors which is customary in campaigns of this kind. There were no noon luncheons. In many respects 1t was unique campaign. One Of the most outstanding features is that the goal was attained and passed without single penny being spent for expenses.
 MT. Smith and Mir. Gilpatric have been the brains of the drive. They agreed 10 take charge fl they could conduct 1t according to their own ideas. The entire project was handed over to them. They put 1t across.

ALCORN AGAIN SCORES CHAPMAN
 AND PICKS FLAWS IN APPEAL OF
 HIS LAWYERS ASKING NEW TRIAL
Maintains That Protests Are Without Legal Basis Denies That He Sought to Prejudice Jury-Re- fers to Super-Bandit's Peculiar Eyes.
[artford. Oct. 8 Pl-The annAal

Hartford, Oct. P-The appeal of Gerald Chapman from the judg- ment of the superior court of first degree murder for the killing of Po- liceman James Skelly of New Brit ain on Oct. 12, 1924, was concluded in the supreme court of errors today when the arguments for the state were made.
 States Attorney Hugh M. Alcorn reminded the court that, though 57 assignments of error had originally been made fin the appeal, all had been discarded but 13, and he pro- ceeded to reason that the 13 did not constitute a basis for a new trial. MT. Alcorn opened his argument at 10 o'clock, when court resumed fol. lowing the recess Thursday after noon.
 Remarks Chapman's Eyes
 Mir. Alcorn declared that not a real legal question had been raised by the defense In its appeal for new trial. They do not even con- tend that their client was not guilty of the crime charged" he told the court.
 In the course of his remarks, the states attorney asserted that Chapman's eyes cannot be matched anywhere. and said he had never seen anything like them.
 When the session opened none of the counsel for the defendant was present. States Attorney Hugh M. Alcorn and his assistant, R. L. Gid con, were in their places. The court waited a few moments for the ap- pearance of Attorneys Nathan O. Freedman and Charles W. Murphy.
 Alcorn Claims Errors
 MT. Alcorn told the court that the appeals, the brief and other docu- ments filed by the defendant were replete with errors in their quota tions and citations. and he thought more care should have been exer- cised in the preparation of the doc umentS. He called the attention of the court to the fact that the fourth point of alleged error, which claimed the verdict of the jury was against the evidence, had been passed over by MT. Freedman In argument.
 Mir. Alcorn referred to the de- cision of the supreme court in the Cian1one case (Renaldino murder), in which the court declined to set aside the verdict of murder in the second degree, and went even fur ther to say the verdict would not have been set aside had the verdict been returned for the crime as charged.
 "The evidence in the Chapman case is twenty-fold stronger than in the Cianfione case" said Mir. AIcorn.
 Praise for Hickey
 He related thestory of the murder of Policeman Skelly, recalling 1t was just year ago yesterday that Chap man arrived In Springfield, alone, from Parkersburg, W. Va. He told all the events of the burglary and murder and leading up to the cap

SECURITY HINGES ON
 GERMAN NEUTRALITY
Allied Experts at Locarno Strive to Meet Strese-
 mann's Demands

Locarno, Switzerland, Oct. g P)- The German delegates to the se- curity conference are insisting that they must take back to Berlin some tangible promise that wars initiated under the league of nations covenant against aggressor states shal hot be fought on German soil.
 Tn an endeavor to meet the Ger man views, the judicial experts of the conference are striving to con- struct a formula which may be made a part of the Rhine security pact or be attached as an annex, committing the signatories to sup port the German interpretation of article 16 of the covenant In their capacity as members of the league council.
 (This article, outlining the pro- cedure to be taken against an agree- sor state, binds the league members Ito take the necessary steps to af- ford passage through their territory to the forces of any of the members of the league which are cooperating to protect the covenant of the league).
 pr, Stresemann, foreign minister of the Reich, told M. Briand of France today that Germany has no binding agreements with Russia inimlcal to the allies, but that Ger many must conserve her friendship with Russia, as neighbor state.
 If Germany consents 10 join the league, the French say, solution of the problem of Frances guaran- tees for Poland will Immediately become easier.
 The security conference is expect ed to reach its ends next week, with Premier Mussolini of Italy present at the concluding session.

Manchester, N H.. Oct. Q P-An earthquake of flight intensity rocked several towns in the Merrimac Val ley about 9 o'clock this morning and lasted for several seconds, but no damage was reported.
 The shock was felt also in the vicinity of Lake Winnipesaukee, north of the Merrimack Valley, and in the vicinity of Ossipee, a consid- erable distance to the northeast and near the Maine border, as we'll as Ill South Portland Me.
 In Ossipee and Effingham Falls 1t broke some window glass and knock ed goods from store shelves.
 Came Where Predicted
 The shock was considered parti- cularly significant in that Dean kirtley F. Mather of the Harvard university observatory last year pre- dicted that the next tremor in New England would occur in the Merri. mack Valley. Other scientists have held that earthquakes usually oc- cur in spasms and follow upon one another in certain areas.
 The shock this morning was one .ot several fet in New England in the last year. The most severe was in Boston last February while tre- mors felt in Quebec last spring were held to be in the same cycle.

FASTENING TO DANBURY
 FAIR BY AIRPLANE, LEAVES IT TO
 FINISH BY AUTO AS STORM BREAKS
First Reports Were That Executive And Major Freeman Had Crashed And Plane Was Damaged, But
 This Is Later Denied.

Danbury, Oct. g Np - Goyernor John H. Trumbull had an engage ment at the Danbury fair today and he kept it even though 1t was nee. essary for him to make an asrplans landing in a field in Newto@n and finish his trip to this city by auto mobile. The governor started by the air route from Hartford with Major Talbot o. Freeman as his pilot.
 The plane ran into a storm when entering the Naugatuck valley and In order not to lose time Major Freeman made a landing in a small field some distance above the dam at Stevenson. The governor and the major hied themselves to a farm house where an automobile was ob- tained 50 that the trip to Danbury could be made without delay to the former.
 Denies Forced Landing
 Major Freeman says that the plane was uninjured, that the landing was not 6 forced one, and that neither the governor nor himself experi- enced even shake up.
 The major said that the start from Hartford was made all right but when half way on the journey the storm was proving to be worse than had been anticipated.
 A course was laid to skirt the storm to the southward but when over Ansonia, 1t was deemed best to try for Danbury rather than to fly off to get around the storm.
 The governor might have been very much delayed, in Keeping his engagement the major said SO inc course was made up the Housatonjc river. The flying conditions were worse sn a field was picked out for "a lardst 2 which was efely done. The field. however, is So small that 1t would be impossible to take off for a flight so a truck from Hart ford will pick up the plane.
 A previous ttory filed from the town of Monroe had stated that the governors plane had crashed in pasture and even described in detail the nature of the fall from which both occupants emerged uniniured. This dispatch, telling of the in- cident, quoted an alleged eye witness.
 Woman Describes Crash
 People who saw the plane flying low, apparently to avoid rain clouds noticed that something was wrong. according to the early dispatch which also said:
 One woman, mile away from the spot where the wrecked plane was found after the crash, said that 1t seemed to come down and then bounded into the air again." flying another half mile before 1t dropped finally to the ground. She hurried in her automobile to the scene bSt by the time she arrived there theN two men in the plane had made their way to the road and had been picked up by passing automobile.
 Inquiry at Brainard Field in Hart ford confirmed that Gov. Trumbuil In the plane piloted by Major Free man of the Connecticut National Guard air squadron. left the Geld there at 10:4o o'clock.
