ADOPT FLAG SYSTEM
Willimantic and Dsnielson Impressed
 With Putnam's Display

The city of Willimantic and the borough of Danielson have both adopt ed the flag system of decoration. and the work of installation is now being done. Putnam took the lead in Wind ham county in this mode of decoration and people from other cities and towns who viewed the effectiveness of the decoration and realized the economical side of the plan were most favorably impressed and carried the idea home with them so that they were boosters for the system when the proposition was broached in their home towns
 The Danielson Transcript, in an nouneing the adoption of the system there. says:
 "rhe effect of the symmetrical rows of flags is very pleasing. as those who visited Putnam on Armistiee Day dis covered. The system was adopted there and hastily installed a few days before the celebration. proving most satisfactory Other Connecticut cities which use this plan are Hartford. Bridgeport. New Maven. New London. Willimantic. Meriden. New Britain. Derby. Stamford. Middle town and Manchester It has been placed in New York. Philadelphia. De- troit. Chicago, Columbus. Toledo. Springfield. Worcester and other large cities. Installation in Providence isI to begin in the near future"

PLEA FOR MORE SPACE
IN U. S. DEPARTMENTS
Public Buildings Commission,
Headed by Senator Smoot, to Re.
port on Crowded Conditions.

A comprehensive survey of office
space in the Government departments
in Washington will probably be made
by the Public Buildings Commission,
of which Senator Smoot of Utah is
chairman.
At a meeting today held in Senator
Shoots office the commission heard
pleas for more space from representa-
tives of the various departments.
These representatives were said to be
unanimous in reeiting crowded con-
ditions and inadequate quarters in
which to carry on the business of the
United States.
Although it is said that the COM
mission earnestly desires the removal
Of all temporary buildings on the
Mall, it is regarded as unlikely that
these structures will be done away
with until some plan Is worked out to
provide additional space either In new
buildings or in the present ones. Fol-
lowing the meeting today Senator
Smoot admitted that conditions de-
manded immediate action.
The commission is expected to meet
again in a few days to 20 over the
arguments advanced by the repre-
sentatives today and to determine it's
future actions.

Declares Fraud UnprOven.
APPEAL is EXPECTED.
Both Sinclair and DOheny Cases
Likely to Go to Supreme Court.

By the Associated Press.
Harry F. Sinclair's victory in the
Governments attempt to cancel the
Teapot Dome naval oil lease probably
will result in throwing that case, as
well as the one decided against h.
l.. Doheny, involving the Elk Hills
reserve, into the Supreme Court of
the United States.
The Doheny case, in which the Gov
ernment won, already has been ap-
pealed, and Government counsel have
given notice that they would carry
the Sinclair case to the higher courts
in the event their efforts at Cheyenne
resulted in failure.
Although the situation presents an
apparent conflict of judicial opinion,
it is pointed out here that some of
the circumstances in the cases differ
and they were fought out on their
individual merits.
One point, however, on which a
sharp division was presented in the
decisions of the judges who heard the
two cases was that involving the
Presidents right to transfer the oil
reserves to the Interior Department.
In the Doheny case this right was
denied, while today at Cheyenne it
was upheld. This point is expected
to furnish basis for a long legal
battle.
The tempest of Teapot Dome had
its inception In Washington early In
April, 1922, when reports became cur.
