PAINTER INJURED
 IN ARCH ST. FALL
Elisha Joseph Taken to Hospital
 in Serious Condition

Elisha Joseph, a painter, employ cd by the John Boyle Co, was se- roiusly injured this afternoon short ly before o'clock when he fell from scaffold at the second story of the Turner building on Arch street and landed on his head on tho pavement below. Other workmen employed at the building gave him first aid treat ment, q hurry call was sent for the New Britain general hospital ambu- lance and the Injured man was taken there
 Samuel Johnson, the foreman working on the job, narrowly es- caped Joseph's hurting body in ifs descent. He was working on the sidewalk below and was standing under the scaffold, moving away only seconds before the unfortunate man came tumbling down. As it ;, was, Johnson escaped without injury al- though two full cans Of paint fell on him, one of them capping his head while a creamy colored second coating paint poured over his head, face, neck and body.
 No one could explain just how the accident happened although from the appearance of the scaffold, it appears that Joseph slipped up in making painters hitch in the side ropes. After he fell, the south side Of the scaffold was held tightly in place but the north side had given way, leaving the scaffold at an an, gle of about 45 degrees.
 Joseph was preparing to start painting the window castings on the second floor and had come from the center of the board to the north side. He stopped over to get pail or paint when, without warning, the end of the scaffold gave way and catapulted him to the ground.
 Immediately large pool of blood formed all around on the sidewalk and Joseph was unconscious. His heIpmates hastcned 10 give him re. lief while others went for assistance
 The distance of the fall is esti. mated at little over 20 feet

Chicago Finds New Way
 To Make Better Smoke

Chicago, May 2S.-(AT)-A long horizontal gas burner playing a stream Of fire into a pile of hard wood sawdust creates the smoke for curing hams and bacon in Chcago's packing plants. At one time wood fires were smudgcd to produce great quantities of smoke which came in direct contact with the meat, but this system has been discarded.
 Under the present method the hardwood sawdust becomes pulver- ized and shoulders and produces what is said to be a superior smoke for meat packing purposes. Another of the retinemcnts is that the tem- pcrature of the meat is brought up 10 the proper point before the smok- ing process begins. This is accom- plished by allowing the gas 10 burn q short time before the sawdust is added.

MORE DEBT TALK
Suggestion Is Revived That Govern mrnt May Supervise Private Loans Carefully.

Washington, May 2S.---(AP)-The manifest desire of the American gov crnmcnt 10 put additional pressure upon the debtor nations Of Europe has revived the suggestion that Washington might hereafter exercise stricter scrutiny of proposed pri- yate American loans abroad.
 There is no tangible evidence that such a policy actually is in prospect, but particular significance attaches to the suggestion because of the re- cent conference between Secretaries Kellogg, Mellonand Hoover, all mem- bers of the war debt refunding com- mission, at the state department. It was disclosed some time ago that President Coolidge was willing 10 make use of the loan scrutiny lev craze if any serious move toward debt repudiation took shape among the debtor countries.
 While the federal government has no legal authority to prevent the ex~ tension of private American credits 10 foreign governments and their na- tionals, proposals for such loans are submitted 10 Washington in nearly every case for advice. Should the administration express disapprovaI of further loans by American bank ITS to the countries hat have not funded their war debts, 1t Is taken for granted that the action would be sufficient 10 put an end 10 European ! borrowing in America,

HOUGHTON GIVES
 DIPLOMATIC TALK
Not Officially, But in Sense That
 No Pledges Are Made

London, May 2s.--(AP)--Ambas- sador Alanson r. Houghton. speak Ing at luncheon given in his honor, by the English speaking union today. said 1t did his heart good 10 sec tens of thousands Of Americans scattered about Eng land 1t had tendency to bring the United States and Great Britaln closer together, and at tho same time It gave the travellers insight into some of the European problems that confront the world today.
 Ambassador Houghton said 1t was always mystery 10 him why so many Americans came across the Atlantic. It was almost d migra- ton. .t
 Some come 10 study. some 10 work, some to play, others because 1t Is habit and still others. l sus- pect, because their wives make them come." said the ambassado or.
 But whatever the reason, l re- joice in the fact of their presence, and 1t does me much good 10 see Americans swarming over England and over continental countries. for l believe when they return home, they will be much better qualified to play their part az citizens of the republic"
 In welcoming Ambassador Tough ton, Lord Birkenhead said the new American envoy had arrived in England at time when the diplo- mstic, social and political relations of the United states and Great Brit ain never had been more harmoni- ous.
 In remote times 1t was a com mon practice during election cam raigns in the United States to en- gage in what is known. in England as twisting the lions tail" said Dirkcnhead, but l don't recall that the lion ever has been seriously in commoded by the process.
 We in this country never ven- turc 10 pluck feathers from the great American eagle"
 England is watching the eXperi- ment with the greatest interest, but without the slightest desire to try 1t ourselves was Lord Birkenhead' s shot at American prohibition.
 Neville Chamberlain paid tribute 10 Ambassador Houghton by saying Americans were not accepted in England as foreigners, but more as fellow countrymen.
 The high commission Of Aus traIia, Sir Joseph Cook, assured the smHassador that the American fleet would be given q hearty welcome on its visit 10 Australia this summer.

MOTOR SHARES IN
 MARKET VAN TODAY
Speculative Interest CenterS on
 These Stocks

New York, May 2s (AP)-The upward movement of stock prices proceeded unchecked at the open ing of todays market. with specu- lative interest centered chiefly in the motor shares. New high rec ords were established by Mack trucks and the Maxwell Issues and s good demand was notsd for White Motor, Willys-Overlsnd and Plerce-Arrow shares. Laclede Gas, with Nh initial gain of S1a points, led an advance in the public utili- ties.
 Under the inbuence Of an i'm proved trade outlook and profess slonal operations. industrials and speclalties forged steadily ahead during the first half hour of trading, Motors maintained the leadership of tho forward movement, which was broadened to include a variety of public utility merchandising and oil shares. Renewed buying of |. s Cast Iron Pipe, based on the belief that foreign competition would be regulated by a recent marketing agreement. lifted that stock points, while early gains of ? to 3 points were recorded by Tide Water oil, Fisher Body, Maxwell "B" Certif- cates, May Stoss, International Telephone and White Motor. Mod . crate advances in U. IS. Steel and American Can reflected better de- mand for standard industrials. For cign exchanges opened steady, with sterling slightly easier at $4.S5% and French itancs unchanged at 5.o11:.
 Erratic fluctuations in Maxwell B certificates, which scared 915 points to 113ia and then broke precipitate- ly to 1Q3la, later chilled specula- tive sentiment and caused general reactions of to points on nasty proft-taking. Trading in the Max well Junior shares was suspended on the stock exchange because Of the reduced supply of the stock, called for deposit under the recapitaiza- ton plan, and transactions were con- fined 10 the certificates. Constructive interests subsequently marshaIled their forces and came to the support of the public utilities, merchandising and chain store issues and toward noon the entire market was again tending upward. Before midday, gains of 2l4 10 points had been registered hy American Can, Nash Motors, Scars Roebuck, Shattucli Stores and Robert Rels first pre- ferrc1. C1ll money renewed at 4 per cent,

CHARLEY BRICKLEY IN
 DENIAL OF ACCUSATION
Former Harvard Football Star De. nies Charges of Forgery
 Preferred

Springfield Mass. May 2s. (AP)-- Charles E. Brickley. former Harvard football player. on trial in superior court on indictments of forgery and larceny in connection with alleged stock manlpulations, took the wit ness stand in his own defense today and fatly eontradlcted the testimony of previous witnesses that he au- thorized forged signature to Bige- low Hartford Carpet Co. stock cer- tihcates owned by w. J. Hines, an Iofricial of that company by whom Brickley was at that time Gin 1922) employed. He further denied that he was present when the forged power of attorney was signed by Kurt Sternberg. a former employe of the now defunct brokerage firm of Gibson and Co.
 Brickley further contradicted the previous testimony of w.. J. Hines that he had never speculated through Gibson and Go. Brickley said that Hines gave him a check TOT SZ,OV0 with which 10 trade and later turned over 10 him the stock certificates as collateral for further trading. Brickley was the last wit ness and the arguments will be made this afternoon.
 It Is alleged by the commonwealth that HiDss gave Brickley 50 shares of Bigelow-Hartford stock when BrickIey told him 1t would be easier for Brickley to purchase more of the stock for Hines if he had certificates to show that he already owned some of it. This stock, 1t Is alleged, Brick ley pledged with the Commercial Trust Co. here as collateral for a loan. When Hines, who had been in Europe returned he was com pelled to resort to litigation to re- cover his stock.
