become a protectOrate of Great Brit
ain. At this writing 1t all seems to
depend on Zagloul Pasha, whose party
won a great victory in the elections
but whose return to the premiership
will scarcely be tolerated by the Brit
ish government. The situation is ag-
gravated by the action of the Egyp

quilted six out of seven persons ac-
cus2d of political assasSinations and
other crimes. Judge Kershaw, Brit

in protest, and the British govern

government that it does not accept
the courts judgment and reserves
full liberty to take what steps it con.

Of foreigners. AS a precautionary
measure a warship was sent from Nal

London was that the situation was

back to the murder of Sirdar Sir Lee
Stack in November, 1924, by National

Chicago, Oct. 19 Pl-Pending a visit to national headquarters at h. dianapolis, Ind. Howard P. Savage. the new commander of the American Legion, would commit himself and his administration upon only three subjects yesterday-the ballot, dis abled and needy veterans, and mem bership.

CLAIM FERGUSON
 RECEIVED MONEY
Hint at Abuses in Award of
 Highway Contracts

Austin, Tex, Oct. 19 P-With the November election regarded as a routine matter as far as major state offices are concerned, democratic party leaders today centered their attention on the investigation of charges by a legislative committee that James E. Ferguson, husband of Governor Miriam A. Ferguson, re- ceived money in connection with the awarding of highway contracts dur ing his wife's administration.
 Charges of irregularities in high way affairs, major issue in Texas politics since Ferguson was busted as governor several years ago, fur nished the basis of one of the hard est fought campaigns in the states history when Mrs. Ferguson was de- feated for renomination for gov ernor by Attorney General Dan Moody in a run off primary.
 With the democratic nomination considered equivalent to election, party leaders carried the highway fight into the special legislative ses- sion called last month by Mrs. Ferguson to validate s10O, 100000 of state road bonds declared invalid by the United States supreme court. In her proclamation calling the special session. Governor Ferguson invited the legislators to Investigate any state departments they might desire" the legislature adopted a new road bond measure and before adjournment last week appointed the committee which yesterday be-
New Britain herald., 1926-10-19

gan its hearing of the charges of acceptance of bribes by Former Governor Ferguson.
 Ferguson in a statement last night declared every member of the com mittee is bitter partisan against me personally, as well as against the administration"
 As the highway investigation started yesterday, Governor Fergu- son pardoned Murray Jackson, one of several men convicted by Moody in Ku Klux Klan fogging case three years ago. It was Moody's vigorous prosecution of the case that brought him state wide attention. Moody. then a county attorney, was elected attorney general two years ago.
 Jackson had served one year of a five year term in connection with an attack on R. w. Burleson, kins- man, of Former Postmaster Gen. AL bert s. Burleson. The victim of the attack was flogged and tarred and feathered by masked men. Governor Ferguson, who declared the Klan was responsible for her defeat. said she wanted to "see justice done" re- gardless of what organization Jack son was affiliated with.

BOSTON POLICE ROUNDING
 UP ALLEGED GANGSTERS
Six Men Are Arrested On Charge of Being Involved In Two
 Killings

Boston, Oct. 1s Pl-The police to- day held six men. after a night. roundup of the North End, as su- spects connect. with two assassi- nations. Charles (Big Brooklyn) Gaglione, alleged gang leader, was killed Friday night when a man leaped on the running board of his automobile, poured several shots through the window, and escaped. Yesterday his lieutenant, Michael Di Pietro, dropped before a cross fire of revolvers as he left the home Of his chief. All Of the six men ar rested disclaim any knowledge of the shootings.
 Di Pietro, who was known also as De Caro, had been a visitor in the flower-banked room where lay the body of Gaglione. He had not walked ten feet from the doorway of the house when, according to witnesses five shots were fired in quick succession. A hundred per sons on the streets saw him fall to the sidewalk and saw a young man hurl a revolver at the body and es- cape.
 Examination of the revolver show ed that only three shots had been fired and the police concluded that two men actually had participated in the shooting.
 The police expressed the opinion that yesterdays shooting would not be the last in the present gang feud. Rumors reaching detectives were to ths effect that the fight would be carried on.

Through he Static

Conditions seem to be returning to normal and last night was quite a bit more satisfactory than those that preceded it, just as Sunday night was slightly better than Saturday night, and Thursday night was much worse than Wednesday night. The system worked both ways. There was no static last evening, although the cleo tric light buzz was with us "one hundred thousand strong" limiting our field of endeavor to some extent. Volume was better than on any of the five previous nights, fact that gave us added hope for the next few evenings. We didn't accomplish any distance to speak of.
 We had the pleasure of listening to pretty fast boxing exhibition, and right in the afternoon, too, or rather late afternoon. The announc- CT seemed to think the entire affair was quite funny and he got lots of laughs out of the whole business, but
  found ourself chuckling at his ire pressible giggles. The fights were impromptu affairs, but they were chock full of action. These battles of the century emanated from some body's barn, as near as we could make out and they were broadcast by an amateur station, LANE or LAME, we don't know which. The station belongs to a young fellow down the river somewhere, we be- lieve it's near Middletown, and we pick him up quite occasionally, broadcasting on d wavelength ap- proximating 250 meters. He never broadcasts at night, so no interfer- ence with regular broadcasters is created.
 This young fellow started off very seriously, his talk being full of "di- rect from the ringside," champion ship bout" and other phrases much used by sports announcers. However. his descriptive abilities appeared to be limited, since he confined himself to saying, Well. Frankie, got one right in the face, that time" or The hit him in the head that time" Later, the announcer started to laugh and he had tough job enun- ciating clearly. The bouts seemed 10 be impromptu affairs, since the an nouncer didn't seem to know from 1 bout to bout, who was going to fight next. He gave us his opinion as to the winner of each round and he also bade us stand by" until the judges had decided upon the victor, meanwhile giving his own dope on the fracas. At the end of the broad cast he announced that the cham pion had been apparently taking them on one at time, was still champion, having secured three knockouts and two draws in the course of the festivities He announc- ed that the station would again be on the air with e-fghts this afternoon.
 And that shows, very clearly, just how progressive the younger gener- ation is.
 Honestly, folks, we forgot all the trouble we had been having with radio and we felt repaid thousand times for something or other, just by listening to that young boys eff forts. It certainly was worth while. Such things as that add to the charm of radio.

rather ragged. for some reason or other. We listened in while the chill dren's period was in progress. A little girl, Naleria Choun, was in- troduced by Uncle George, the gen. tleman who conducts the children's programs, and she spoke a few words. She addressed herself, by means of cheery Hello" to Jan ice Clark, daughter of Mir. and Mrs. Earl Clark of Garden street, this city, among other things. The chil- 'dren used to be playmates in Bridge port, according to our information, and Faleria recently wrote to Janice and told her she would say Hello" to her.
 We accomplished something last night that We can never duplicate again in an age. We tuned in WJAR, Providence, while WTIC was going full force. Try it yourself, If you think it's so easy. When you con- slider that WTICs wavelength is 476 meters and WJAR's is 4S5, you have something to think about. That brings WJAR just one meter above woe. Davenport. We didn't hold the station very long, but we heard the announcer tell the people to stand by for further announcements from WJAR's studio and then we heard WJAR's announcer begin q lengthy explanation of something in his readily recognizable nasal.
 Well. we went through the same old line last evening, WTIC, WPG, WIZ, WHO'D and WGY. That is, it's

Japan Starts Drive on
 BObbed Hair, Shirt Skirt

Tokyo. Oct. 19 R, A cam- paign against bobbed hair and tho short skirt is being waged in Japan by newspapers and societies, who assert that these ultra western styles are immoral and not suitable for Japanese women.
 Within the last few months the short skirt has become more and more noticeable on Tokyo streets, but the department stores and modistes say that the style will never gain any real popularity in Japan because Japanese women as rule have not the figures for the modern innovations.
New Britain herald., 1926-10-19

the same old line with the exception of WHO'D. We can't figure out yet how that station comes through so loud on comparatively poor eve ming. But it does, so why worry about it?
 WTIG, among other things, offer ed talk on the theater, given by Fred G. Blakeslee. We can't review the talk here beyond saying it was pretty fair. He traced the history and development of the stage from the beginning to the present day, and he did it thoroughly and interesting ly. He conveyed his thoughts to lis teners in a well modulated voice and he held our attention from the beginning to the end. He was fol- lowed by the Monday Merrymakers, and we heard violin, banjo and yo- cal selections, the mast named being in an apparent imitation of the in- imitable Fran Frey of George Ol- sens orchestra. The imitation was not an imitation, 1t was a crime. No, not exactly that. but it wasn't so good, really. The fellow sang ''Ka- tinka," and we think he would have been more appreciated at least by us, if he had used his own style, whatever that might have been.
 WHO'D, Miami Beach. came through loud again. We cant figure 1t out, that's all. The male quartet of the Frst Christian church offered well balanced program of songs, including Rocking on the Pillows of The Deep All four voices were

brought out we'll. This program was followed by George L. Jackson's con- cert orchestra which rendered Baby Face"
 WCWS offered a program by the Banioliers, which proved to be en-, tertaining. There were four per formers, and We enjoyed especially Hawaiian Medley" and Southern Airs"
 Our last stop of the evening was at democratic rally at Rochester, N. G., to which we were attracted by lot of shouting and loud speaking. Governor Al Smith was the princi- pal speaker and he delivered a real old fashioned stereotyped political speech, in which the speaker was on the right side of the fence and all those who didn't believe as he did. on the wrong. The talk pleased his listeners, so why should we crab? WGY broadcast the event.
 That's all for today, thanks!
