SCOPES AT MARS
 AND ITS WIGWAGS
British Observer Thinks This
 Talk Is "Bunkum"

Greenwich, England, Oct. 26 R- Efforts to pick up wigwags from Mars are all "bunkum," In the opin- ion of Dr. W. H. Stevenson, astro- nomical observant at the Royal ob- servatory, who contends that Moth CT Earth is a generation or so ahead of the times.
 Discussing the theory that Mars might be reached tomorrow be- cause 1t will be slightly nearer to the earth than during the rest of the year, Dr. Stevenson expressed skepticism as to the possibilities of communication.
 Tn the first place." he said. i've had better make certain whether the Martians really want to get &C., ouainted with us. As for the posi- tion of Mars on Wednesday, it is not likely that Mars will give any bet ter opportunity for contact For all practical purposes, Mars has been about the same distance for about a week or more. At the ob- servatory we have been making ex. haustive studies since August and these will continue through Novem- Der and December. All we hope to do and gain in 40 to 50 years is some definite idea of the climate and physical conditions and after ward by deduction decide whether the Martians really exist"

 He dwelt at length on the aualifl- cations of Senator Bingham for of- fee. and described Governor Trum- bull as an honest conscientious, efficient businessman" The local candidates for the general assembly are men whose qualifications are known, and they are deserving of the voters consideration. he emphasized.
 Councilman Donald L. Bartlett, who opened the meeting, addressed the gathering as Fellow Stanley workers" He commented on press reports that the voters are apathetic concerning the election. .If this is a fact, the balme can be laid on you and me, because we have the in- alienable right to vote and to de- clare who shall represent us in of- flee.

START FLAW HUNT
 IN FOUR BUILDINGS
New Haven Expert to Begin In.
 VestigatiOnS on Friday
Feeling 1t is unwise to wait for

Feeling 1t is unwise to wait for a slack period in building to begin in- spection of several structures sus- pected of being unsafe, Inspector Arthur N. Rutherford today an- nounced he would have Engineer Vincent Barry of New Haven. in this city Friday for the purpose of examining the buildings which are under suspicion.
 Barry Is regarded as one of the foremost engineers in matters of construction in New Haven. He is consultant for the New Haven building department, and by vote of the building commission last week, he has been named adviser to the local department. Inspector Ruther- ford had reported to his board that four buildings are under suspicion, one of them for nearly year.
 Until the inspector and engineer prepare their report for the build ing commission no information rela- tive to the location of the structures will be made public. Two of the buildings are new and two have been standing for many years.

 Lawyer Conway was obviously perplexed and he looked toward | Councilman Donald L. Bartlett, chairman of the rally and then to Cavanaugh. Before he could make reply. Cavanaugh continued: And I also wish that you would tell us when we who live in Con- necticut are going to have some of that seven and eight per cent stuff that you have down in your home city (Philadelphia). You know up 1 here we are all tee-totalers; We have never ratified the 18th amendment in Connecticut"
 Invites Public to Highban
 Attorney Conway then arose and informed the crowd that he was heartily in favor of referendum on the "dry" law. "The people are the power that creat s the law; the people created the constitution. and they are the ones ,ho should make its amendments" he declared. Con- tinulng, he said: When the day comes that t stuff is brought back, I will be glad to put my foot up on the bar with you and have a highball."
 T don't agree with you," Cavan- augh shot back. "The bar had had it's day and now it's gone. it's out lawed." Conway and Cavanaugh finlly reached an agreement appar- ently satisfactory to both-unison of sentiment for modification of the dry statute.
 In his talk this noon, Conway im- pressed upon his listeners that If ployment. their present schedule of wages and their homes, they must vote protection, or in other words straight republican ticket. He charg- ed that 5,000,0O0 workmen were thrown out of employment in 1920 because the democratic party was placed in control of the government, and he declared Connecticut's con- gressmen are required to sit up all night safeguarding the country from return to democratic control and those same conditions.

more than three days to convict the

COUNSEL for the defense electrified
the court with the words that he
had no evidence to offer, Superior
Judge Bollinger ordered the re-

out during the night and part of
this morning.
The jury was agreed upon convicY
tion but could poll only a 10-to-2
vote for the maximum sentence.
After reporting once that they could
not decide upon recommendation
for a penalty they returned with the
final verdict.
Principal evidence being used by
the state is that furnished by 3
