For the first time in the memory of some Of the oldest graduates at the New Britain High school, the promenade for members of gradu- ating class scheduled for tonight, has been cancelled. Failure on the part of students 10 back up their en- thusiasm with the necessity fnan- cial support has made it necessary for the administration to abandon plans for the affair.
 This year the administration agreed to have the promenade only after q sufficient number of subscrip- tioE for tickets had been received. Tho junior and junior mid-year classed also combined with the grad uating class, and between the three classes enough subscriptions were re- ceived so that plans would be made for the affair. To insurt an even break financially, it was necessary that 50 tickets at s2.50 be sold. AL though So subscriptions were receiv- cd, an amount equal to this in money vas not taken in yesterday so the event was called of.

Was Spending Money Freely and Roasting That He Had Morc-In- vestigation Disclosed Source of Finances

Belgrade, Jugoslavia, Jan. 22 P(--- A discovery of a plot against the lives of King Alexander and his cab inet ministers is believed to be be- hind the sudden decision of Premier Pachitch to return from the Riviera, where he went on January 10 for an announced lengthy stay for his health.
 Widespread Raids Continue
 The police are continuing their widespread raids upon the homes of known communists, and the number of persons arrested had increased this morning to 800.
 The plot against the king and members of the government is said to have been revealed by the arrest of 8 workman In Zagrab.
 The man was spending. money lav- ishly, boosting that he had received 250,O00 dinars from Moscow as part payment for the work to be eXe- cuted.
 He declared, according 10 the po- lice, that he received the funds through NJ. Philipovich, a leading Jugoslav communist, who for the last year has been resident of Mos COW.
 This is the first intimation that the ,alleged communist plot in Jugoslavia was directed against the lives of the ruler and his ministers.
 Belgrade dispatches last night said more than two hundred suspects had been taken into custody in connection with a movement to overthrow the government. Syndi- calist workmen attempted 10 hold demonstrations in front of the na- tional assembly building in Bel grade, turning out in such force that the use of mounted troops was needed to disperse them.

 Announced Settlement

Philadelphia. Jan. 22 Pe-Anthra- cite operators annouced today that the Scraton Times plan 10 end the coal strike "did not meet any re- quirements of the situation"
 This statement was Issued;
 Regarding reports that the an- thracite operators had accepted a strike settlement plan proposed by l.. J. Lynett of the Scranton Times the Philadelphia office of the an- t.racite operators conference states that MT. Lynett's plan did not meet any requirements of the situation and had not been accepted by Mir. Inglis or the operators"
 w. w. Inglis is chairman of the operators wage negotiating commit tee.
 No announcement was made as to whether the operators would meet the miners and use the proposed plan as a basis for negotiation, but the mine owners position on this is expected later.
 The Objectionable Part
 The part of the plan on which the operators are said to look unfavor- ably is that which provides that the two sides may consider changing the wage rate during the five years con- tract and If no change is agreed upon the men shall Fmain at work at the old scale.
 Arbitration Is not provided, 1t was . pointed out. Operators said they do not thing the miners would volun- tarily agree to wage reduction, If one were proposed as justified by economic conditions and that, there fore, the proposed new agreement would virtually be a five year con- tract at fixed wages, something the operators are opposed to. They fla Ior & flve-year agreement with an opportunity to readjust wages during the period.
 Informal conferences have been held by operators on the Scranton plan, but there have been no formal meetings.
 Blow Up Is Definite.
 Philadelphia, Jan. 22 Pl-The latest effort to end the coal strike has apparently blown up.
 Anthracite mine operators made known here today that they will not re-enter negotiations with the mine workers to end the long suspension on the basis of the plan proposed by the Scranton Times.
 President John L. Lewis Of the miners union, announced earlier in the day at Scranton that he was will ing to again go into conference on the basis of the latest proposal with certain suggestions to make.
 "The plan" the operators an nounced. "did not contain anything that had not been thoroughly thresh- ed out in previous conferences. For this reason it does not afford basis for renewal of negotiations.
 The reply of w. w. Ingis, chair man of the, operators negotiating committee, last night left the lln- precision in the mining regions that he was favorable to renewing nego- tiations on the basis of the plan,
 After Mir. Lewis announced he was willing to re-entor negotiations the operators made their position clear

NANTUCKET ELKS
 ARE IN HOT WATER Dry Law Violation Causes Charter Suspension- Exalted Ruler Ousted

Providence, Jan. 22.-The charter Of the Pawtucket lodge, B. P. 0. E. will be taken up at o'clock today for sixty day period by State deputy James N Stover of this city under ruling from Judge William H. Atwell of Dallas, Texas grand exalted ruler of the order, who or dered the two month suspension be- cause of violation of the Volstead act"
 At the same time under order from Judge Atwell, William w. Woodcock. exalted ruler of the lodge, will resign.
 Officers of the lodge have thus far refused to talk about the case. denying that they have received any official notification. According to mmbers of the lodge, the trouble dates back to the annual election of officers and dissension among some Of the members and even back 10 last June when some of the members complained to national headquarters regarding the alleged sale of home brew at the lodge home.
 Investigations were made by both District Deputy Leslie w. Lawton. following the June complaints, and by Deputy Stover as a result of the recent complaints which were re- neWed after Judge Atwell was in- stalled as grand lodge ruler. AL though an announcement from Texas said that q complete change Of officers had been ordered by Judge Atwell, Deputy Stover men, toned Exalted Ruler Woodstock as the only resigning official.
 The Pawtucket suspension is the first such action taken against a New England lodge and the second In the country, the previous instance being against the New York lodge following the padIocking of the bar and the club by federal officials.
