Gov ernor Tells New Haven Gather ing Reckless Appropriations
 Will Be Fought This Year.

New Haven, March 25.-Stressing state government as a business pro- ject and dehouncing reckless appro- priations which he said he would re- sist this coming winter at Hartford, Governor John II. Trumbull made his first formal speech in New Haven at q dinner session last night of the foremens and executives committee of the Y. NJ. C. A. industrial division. Representative of many of the man ufacturing interests of the city were present,
 Governor Trumbull said the posi- ton of governor had been "wished' on him and was not an office he would have sought. The governor gave 1t as his opinion that the only men to enter public life should be those willing to serve. Speaking of finances, he said: "I asked myself whether it was well for the state to borrow. l had found in my eXper- fences that it was not well. There are some communities today which are passing on to posterlty me Duf- den of borrowed money"
 It was with much satisfaction, the governor said, that he reported that the deficit of two past legislatures had been made up, the current debt providing for that, while the sinking fund will care for debts maturing fin 1926.
 "We shall hold this position" he continued, unless the present legis. lature runs wild and if have any thing to do with it, this will no' happen"

Every few weeks ac- cording to Henderson, crews Of i workmen are required to shovel oh tons of dirt from both the highway and the railroad.

U. S. Court Decides Extraterritorial
Rights of Americans Do Not

SHANGHAI. March 14.-Extrater-

Americans residing in China do not
extend to the Kwantung Peninsula,
the southern tip of Manchuria, which
japan Holds under a 100-year lease.
is the decision of Judge Nj. d. Purdy
of the United States Court for China
in Shanghai.
The case in question concerned a
charge of assault made against Capt.
A. w. Smith, a ships officer. who was
said TO have beaten a sailor at a
cafe in Dairen, the principal city on
the peninsula. At a preliminary hear
ing in 1928, United States Commits
sioner \. T.. Lurton held Capt. Smith
for trial before the United States
Court for China. ruling that extra
territorial rights of Americans in
China applied to the Kwantung

in fact a portion of China. This rul-
ing Judge Purdy reversed.

The case Of Capt. Smith was the
first in which the question was test
