FAIGEN IN AGAIN FOR BEATING POLICE AGENT
Denies Assault, Given Time to Produce His
 Companion

Edwin Faigen, aged 20, of 227
 North street, who was fined s10 and
 costs by Judge filling in police court yesterday morning for assaulting | Edward McGrath, a police agent on Commercial street, faced Judge Alling again this morning on the
 same charge. He was arrested last
 night about II o'clock by Detective Sergeant George c. Ellinger on com plaint Of McGrath, who went to the police station and displayed marks
 on his face indicating that he had
 been given a severe beating. He was
 positive that Faigen assaulted him
 on Elm street after following him in
 an automobile, but Faigen, through
 Attorney Monroe S. Gordon, denied
 the charge, and Frank Abramson of
 g. Willow street. who testified that
 he was with Faigen last night, said third party left the automobile in
 which they were riding and evident ly assaulted McGrath.
 Judge filling imposed a jail sen- tence of six months, suspending four months with the remark that Fai- zen has caused enough trouble and McGraths story is entitled to as much credence as that of Abram- ! son. After court, however, the judge suspended execution of the sentence Until next Wednesday pending inves- tigation of Faigcn's contention that his companion committed the as- sault.
 Sergeant Ellinger testified to mak- ing the arrest on McGrath's com plaint. Officer William J. Mccarthy testified that shortly before 9:30 o'clock he was standing at the cor ner of East Main street and Spring street when an automobile driven by Faigen pulled up. Faigen called, Hey Mac" and the officer went over to the car. Faigen asked him for McGrath's address, which the off cer did not know. The officer told | him he had sseen McGrath pass a short time previous but as Faigen's | car started away the officer called to | Faigen not to follow McGrath. Fai- | gen evidently did not hear the warn ing. for the car continued.
 McGrath testified that he was in l a Main street restaurant shortly be- fore o'clock and saw Faigen and | others. Someone remarked: What do you know about that?" as he en- tered. He feared he would be fol- lowed so he went out and up Main street, down East Main and over Hartford avenue. On Elm street near Paradise park, an automobile pulled up and Faigen jumped out, McGrath testified.
 You got me this morning and I'm going to give you yours now" Fai- gen said, as he proceeded to assault Jim, according to McGrath. Trying 0 defend himself, McGrath seized Faigen and in the scuffle Faigen bit NcGrath's ear. McGrath's face was iwollen and bore marks of the as- 'ault. In reply to Attorney Gordon, IcGrath said his occupation is a window washer, "Oh. so that's what

UNITED STATES TO
 OFFICIALLY DENY
 FREE TARIFF IDEA
Statement Will Declare Recent Manifesto Does Not Apply
 to America
AGREED HOWEVER, IT IS
 GOOD THING IN EUROPE

Pronouncement Is to Be Made by
 Secretary Mellon Who Has Dis
 cussed Matter In Detail With
 President-Afust Protect American
 Living Standards Is View of Com
 merce Chamber.
 Washington, Oct. 21 UP) -- The American government is preparing to declare publicly that it does not consider the recent fnanciers' mani festo against world trade restrictions as applying to the United States.
 At the same time the government is expected to give support to the suggestion for a leveling of customs barriers .mong European nations.
 The pronouncement is to be made by Secretary Mellon, who discussed the subject today with President Coolidge. The secretary advised his chief that he considered the mani- festo sound so far as 1t applies to Europe but there could be no thought of lowering the American tariff.
 To Protect Standards
 Coincident with the white house conference it was made known that the American section of the interna- tional Chamber of Commerce, con- members of the Chamber of Con- merce of the United States, had a tariff report saying that business and American la bor had come to the studied de- cision" that American living stand ards mus: be protected and that mo action which will tend to lower them can have any than an unfortunate effect.
 The f1nanciers' manifesto. recently made public in New York. advo- Cated leveling of international trade barriers, but made specific reference to no individual nation. It carried the signatures of an impos- ing international group of business men, including J. P. Morgan.
 In deciding to set forth clearly the position of the American gov arnment, the president and Secre' tary Mellon were influenced by con- .inuing speculation whether the sug yestions of the tinanciers were in tended to apply to the American protective tariff, as we'll as to the customs barriers erected between European nations since the world var.
 The full text of the protective ,ariff report prepared by the Amer can section of the international Chamber of Commerce will not be made public until the Stockholm meeting of the international body lext June.
 It became known, however. that { would say that "the American committee believed that the central committee (of the international hamber) must, of necessity, recog- lize that the question of tariff pol cy, to be pursued by nation is q natter of domestic concern"
 When there is equality of wage cales and living standards Ameri- an manufacturers will not be dis ,osed to ask for protection in se- uring to themselves the extensive .ome market" the report continues.

Their first stop will be at Newport where they will take on munitions. It had been planned to sail from Newport as soon as the munitions were loaded, but q change in plans was made necessary this morning when Lieut..

 The two submarines will be held at Newport where Lieut.. Badhan will join them within the next few days.
 Panama Next Stop

 The submarines are the only ones in commission by the Peruvian navy, two old French vessels of the French type having been decommis- stoned some time ago when the or der for the RI and R-2 was placed. The latter vessels are of the Holland

Miami But Slightly Af- fected But Hurricane Now Is Headed for Nassau -- Communica- tions Broken.

Miami, Fla, Oct 21 LF-Dawn found damage from the sixty mile wind which struck Miami last night confined to a small amount of de- bris in some streets, with no other wreckage apparent. There was no reported damage to shipping.
 With the last favorable weather report this morning, hundreds of persons gathered before the post 1 office and took part in a celebration at Miami's escape from the storm.
 The hurricane apparently passed to the south and east Of Miami
 or Toward Nassau
 Meanwhile. efforts were directed to get into communication with Nas- sau, capital of the Bahama Islands, toward which the hurricane was veering after flashing its fury on Cuba yesterday. Radio operators at 3 q. m. had been unable to establish communication with the Bahamas.
 While crippled wire service pre- vented an accurate checkup on the storm area, only one death was re- ported in Florida as result of the storm. A pedestrian in Miami was struck by falling signboard last night and succumbed a short time later.
 The Florida East Coast railway arranged to resume service this morning between Miami and Key West. Train No. 76, due to leave Key West at 7:50 o'clock last night, was delayed when 1000 feet of track near Woodall was washed out. Re- pairs were made during the night. Woodall is on the tip of the lower peninsula.
 Warned yesterday by government weather bureaus, residents fled to public buildings for refuge from the storm which was expected.
 A rising barometer at a. m., however, and a diminishing in tho force of wind and sea caused police 10 believe all danger had passed, and the people were advised to return to their homes.

MYRON BOONE WINS
PRIZE FOR BEST ESSAY
CONTINUED from page u

vest their money in Building and
Loan. Any child can make his week
ly earnings amount to more than
twenty-five cents a week One dol
share will mean that you have TO
pay one dollar month. Twenty
five cents put away every week will
cover this. If a child will work, he
can keep up his payments. In the
future, if he wishes to go to col
lege, he can rely on the money from
the Building and Loan.
Sometimes a boy or girl may
have some money that they do not
want to spend and don't know just
what to do with it. If he or she
invests it in shares of Building and
Loan, that will mean one step tow
ards life's future needs. The boy
and girl of today should have some
thing such as this to work for, for
it prepares them for the future.
We should start young in things
such as these because they help
train us for the business transac-
tions we shall deal with in time to
come. Having shares in Building
and Loan gives us more interest to
work. We will think twice before
we spend, we will plan how to
spend our money so as to save
enough for our monthly payments.
1t trains us not to be spendthrifts.
If we wish to go into some busi-
ness after we finish college, we will
have something to start us off. If
we wish to invest in other things,
we will have money to do so. After
we have started in business and
wish to build home, we can do so
with the money which we . saved
while children, and we can look
back with the satisfaction of know
ing that we spent and invested
wisely.
If at any time we wish to borrow
money, we can go to the Building
and Loan and borrow it on our
stock. There are times when we
have to have money. We can bor-
row from the Building and Loan by
paying back the money plus interest.
But, if we start when we are
young and begin in life by putting
away twenty-five cents each week,
we will be convinced in the future
that we have taken a wise step.
