JAMES [. WEIGH HELD
 UNDER LOTTERY LAWS
State Police Arrest New Britainite as Ticket
 Distributor

Bridgeport, Conn.,, Nov. g R- After two weeks of surveillance, State Police Sergeant Frank Virelli last night arrested James c. Welch of New Britain as the alleged head of a ring of lottery ticket sellers who have been flooding this section of the state. Welch was released from custody last night after a real estate bond for $5,OOo had been fil- ed at the home of the superior court clerk.
 Welch IS charged with violation Of chapter 64S6 of the state laws.
 "Welch has unloaded a large number of his treasury balance tickets in this county" Assistant States Attorney E. Earle Garlick stated today. He has taken con- siderable more money from Bridge port and vicinity than has ever been returned. We have not molested the agents hired by Welch in this case as that avails little. It is the brains of the system that we are after" ..... ...

CITY PARKING SPACE
 BELIEVED NECESSARY
Common Council Com mittee Applovees of
 Buying Sites

The parking problem is one of the
 most important with which munich
 palities have to deal and it is time
 the city of New Britain became &C.,
 tive toward it's solution by provid- ing large spaces for the accommoda-
 tion Of motorists, S. M. Davidson, local merchant, told the special com- mon council committee appointed 10 look into the advisability of provid- ing such a space, at the initial meet ing last evening at the mayors of- flee.
 He said the city should obtain, by purchase or condemnation, at least one sizeable place in the north end and another in the south end and maintain them for the accommoda- ton of local motorists who come into the business district and residents of rearby places who trade in New Brit ain. It is not enough to lease spaces, he said, because eventually the growth of the city will demand that all centrally located property be utilized for business. He doubted that any merchant on Main street would seriously object to an increase ir taxes because of the establishment of parking places. Personally he would not consider an increase of $500 per year in his taxes unreason- able because there is no question that the accommodation and con- venience of the public at large de- mand that the situation caused by lack of parking space be met.
 Councilman W. s. Warner, who introduced the resolution for ap- pointment of the special committee, said available parking space is rapidly disappearing and he believes New Britain should take steps to overcome the situation that is fast becoming serious. It is impossible to find parking space about the center of the street on Saturday night, and at other times. especially in the and evening, motorists cesiring to patronize the mercantile establishments or attend to business in the banks and other business houses are obliged to leave their cars some distance from the city or take the alternative of riding around Main street in the hope that a space may be found along the curb.
 Councilman Warner said the city property on Washington Place might be combined with nearby property on Washington street and space pro- vided for a sizeable number of cars. There is large space between Elm and Main streets, behind the school which might be utilized, and he also mentioned the space in the rear of the New Britain Trust Co. property on West Main street. He said the city charter does not al- low a venture such as he has in mind but he favors discussing it with view towards obtaining the necessary authority if the proposal Is considered to have sufficient merit to warrant it's adotaion. The charge and gasoline con- ,ession price could be worked out when the proper time arrives.
 Alderman w. H. Judd said a parking place, to be worth while, must be central. Motorists want to park as near as possible to he places where they do their busi-

SAW DEFENDANT IN LANE

Somerville, N. J., Nov. s.-I won- der. if today's session of the court will provide so dramatic a moment as yesterdays when Detective Gar win identified Ralph Gorsline as the man who came to him four years ago and confessed he saw Henry Stevens in De Russy's lane the night my mother and Dr. Hall were murdered.
 For a moment in that tense at- mosphere almost forgot that was so vitally concerned in the case. It was as If I were watching a play on the stage and when MT. Garvin pointed his finger at Ralph Gorsline, my heart jumped within me and a little shiver ran up my back.
 MT. Garvin was telling his story about how man came to him just after the murders and said he had seen Henry Stevens in the lane that night, and how Henry Stevens had fired two shots and told him in pro- fane language to go away. This man told MT. Garvin what he had seen and said he had to confess because his conscience worried him.
 Yesterday when Mr. Garvin was on the stand Senator Simpson order ed that Ralph Gorsline be brought forward.
 'Is this the man" he demanded.
 Everybody eased forward in their chairs. My heart was pounding furiously.
 That's the man." cried the de- tective.
 I was so thrilled that tears came into my eyes.
 Then a feeling of resentment and bitterness filled me. If all this is true; if Ralph Gorsline saw and recognized Henry Stevens that night: If he actually confessed that fact to a private detective; then why didn't he come forward like man and tell what he knew.
 That would have saved me all these four long years of doubts and

JEROME ST. LINE
 ASKS 8 CENT FARE Fred Romani, Owner, Petitions
 P. U. C. for Rate Increase CLAIMS IT DOES NOT PAY State Board to Receive Statistics On Income and Cost of Operation to Support Claim He Is Losing Mon- ey on Project.
CLAIMS IT DOES NOT PAY

Fred Romani, owner of the Jer- ome street bus line, today asked the public utilities commission to ap- prove an increase from six to eight cents fare on his route. and pub lie hearing will be held at the of- flee of the commission in Hartford, November 16.
 The operator, through his attor- ney, will present a financial state ment prepared by William H. Day, accountant, to prove that the line is operating at a loss under the pres- ent fare. At the office of the &C., countant today 1t was said that Ro- mani might consider a scheme for the sale of tokens or tickets at somewhat reduced rates if purchased in numbers and this would make the rate less than eight cents to regu- lar patrons of the line.
 Romani, in company with opera tors of other lines, was before the commission last year with a request for one cent fare increase. The commissioners ruled that in the few cases where there were accurate rec ords, they covered a period too short to be indicative of the proportion of costs to earnings Accountant Day has installed system of accounts on each line and Romani will pre- sent figures covering a one-year pe- riod when he goes before the com mission next week.
 This is the largest fare increase ever sought by local bus line, amounting as it does to 33 1-3 per cent. One cent increases have been asked from time to time in the past and have, in some instances, been allowed,

WITNESSES RECANT | IN SECOND TRIAL
Bridgeport Garment Workers Will Not Identify Gangsters
FRIGHTENED, STATE SAYS
Prosecutor in Bridgeport Maintains That Friends of Convicted "Cue Thugs" Have Threatened Those Involved in Case

Bridgeport. Nov. R-Garment workers who were assaulted in this city on September 30 last by New York thugs armed with sawed off billiard cues, repudiated on the wit ness stand in city court today their Identification of their assailants, with the result that no probable cause was found for holding the accused on two counts involving as- saults on Samuel Siegel and Abe Entzweig.
 The three men who were picked some weeks ago by Siegel and Entz- weig as their assailants are Max Baer, 2S. of 140 Lewis street, New York; Samuel Rosenberg, 23, Of 9S0 Gates avenue, New York, and James Corti, 29. of 666 166th street, New York, all now serving terms in the state prison at Wethersfeld for as- saults committed in Stamford short ly after the Bridgeport assaults.
 Asks Continuance
 Defense Attorney Henry E. Shan non asked that all counts against Baer, Rosenberg and Corti be drop ped as result of the failure of Siegel and Entzweig to identify the men as their assailants, but Assist ant Prosecutor Clarence o. Lister asked that the cases against the men be continued on two other counts involving alleged assaults upon Da- vid Goldstein and David Eager, who have disappeared since the assaults took place and who are believed by Lister to be at some place in New York. Attorney Lister wants to To- cate these two men in an effort to have them identify in court gas the three men accused of assaulting them. Continuance on these two counts was granted to December IS. In the meantime the three alleged sluggers will be returned to Weth- ersf1eld.
 Prosecutor Lister said in court: There has come to me authorita- tive information that these witnesses are being threatened and intimidat- ed and That attempts are being made to purchase them. They are absolutely frightened to death, here and in New York city. I have re- ceived information that they have been followed and threatened. Up to half an hour before court open ed this morning they were ready to identify the prisoners as the men who assaulted them. Yet on the witness stand they say they cannot identify the men. They say one thing outside of court and another thing in court. I feel that they should be given an opportunity, however. to do just what they have themselves publicly on record as failing to identify their as- despite the fact that they had identified the men to the police as the ones who had beaten them"

Copeland's Rcbuke

SoDtIdINl lASp'Hc
 Atlantic City, N. J., Nov. g lA9-- Senator Royal A. Copeland, of New York, in a statement here today turned his guns on the republican administration with bitter denun- citation of President Coolidge's ad- vocacy. last night, of an additional o5 per cent tax reduction.
 Calls It Smoke Screen
 "President Coolidges advocacy of an additional and immediate 25 her cent tax refund at this time Is nothing less than a smoke-screen thrown up." he declared, Ito divert public attention from the over whelming defeat suffered nationally by the republican party at the polls last Tuesday"
 The New York state senator also announced himself as an unquali- fled supporter for Governor Alfred F. Smith, of New York, for the deHl- ocratic nomination for the presiden- cy in 1928; declared that Senator's elect Ware of Pennsylvania, and Smith, of Illinois, would never be & ,ted in the senate, and asserted that the results of the wet and dry referendums twas 2 mandate to congress which congress cannot ig- nore."
 He states that last May he intro- duced a bill calling for 25 per cent reduction in taxes in addition to that already contemplated by the admir- istration.
 Had "Cat's Fit"
 "When President Coolidge, Sec retary Mellon and Senator Smoot, chairman of the senate finance com- mittee, heard about 1t they had eats fit'," he declared. They said 1t was an impossibility.
 And now-six months later when 1t Is plainly seen that the peo- pie of the country are dissatisfied with the republican administration. President Coolidge comes out and urges such a move.
 His advocacy at this time Is nothing more than a shrewd polit- cal move, intended to avert public attention from the overwhelming re- publican defeat last Tuesday. ] am, of course still in favor of such reduction. It would be legalized larceny to keep from the people money which the government does not absolutely need in the conduct of its business. But the adminis- tration's urging of such a reduction no sooner than the curtain has been rung down on the election Is mere smoke screen"
 Scores Religious Prejudice
 'Tf 'Al' Smith was a Protestant" Senator Copeland continued, This nomination as the democratic can didate for the presidency in 1928 would be unanimous. That he is a Catholic should not prevent him from being the choice of his party | Religious objections should not and |

Wants Non-PartiSan ConSidera. tion of His Proposal to
 Make Refund
SENATOR COPELAND OUT
 WITH SCATHING REBUKE
New Yorker Says Coolidge Now Ad- vocates What He Himself Sug- gested and Saw Killed By Admin istration-Washington Also Sees Senatorial Factions Lining Up For Battle On Seating Ware.


 Washington, Nov. R-President Coolidge today asked for non-par- tisan consideration of his tax re- fund proposal. He made known through the White House spokes- man his desire that party lines be forgotten in consideration of the proposal by congress.
 Not Final Proposal
 It also was disclosed that the in- come tax credit plan announced yes terday by Secretary Mellon was not the final proposal of the administra- ton.
 The president will confer with members of the house ways and means committee before recom- mending how the surplus should be returned to the taxpayers Would Avoid Politics
 The White House pronouncement did not refer directly to democratic charges that the presidents move was a political one, but 1t was said that MT. Coolidge felt politics must be avoided at all hazards.
 If the tax credit l,toposal becomes Involved in political controversy at the short session 1t will be diff cult in the presidents opinion to work out any relief for the tax payers at this time.
 The president thinks the best means of action by congress would be that pursued In the last congress when a non- partisan agreement was worked out for passage of the rev. enue act.
 While the president has not en- tirely accepted MT. Melons propos- al for a line of credit on next years taxes, he does approve the idea Of having the plan go into effect in some form or another next year.
 In his first announcement for a cut the president proposed an lm- mediate refund on this years taxes, but Mir. Mellon thought that plan too costly and cumbersome from an administrative viewpoint.
 As to the extent of the tax credit, Mir. Coolidge feels this Is simply matter of mathematics, to be con trolled by the amount of the surplus which is now estimated at S25O,- 900 GOO. On this basis MT. Mellon yesterday said the tax credit should amount to at least 12 1-2 per cent
