Norwalk Negress Slashed
 With Razor by Husband

Norwalk, Oct. 22. - R - Mrs. Charles Stevens, negro, of South Norwalk, was slashed by a razor wielded by her husband, Charles Stevens, as she stood talking to her father in front of store on Wash ington street, South Norwalk last night.
 The woman was conversing with her parent, when her husband came by, and the father spoke to him, evidently in words that were suffi- cient to arouse the ire of the hus- band, who quickly drew a razor and siashed at the father of his wife. He missed the man but caught the blade of the weapon across his wife's hand. He then fled.

 More than year ago Don Null lally dropped a pebble into the sea of laughter that surges around Broadway. The ripple that followed became tidal wave which, last night, reached Hartford. where Mullally's three act comedy, 'Laff ThatOf." played at Parsons thea ter, The advance notices guaran- teed a clean, wholesome laugh every 20 seconds. That must have been an exaggeration and the press agent should be taken to task because last night the rate was one laugh every 21 seconds.
 "Laff That Off" is modern fairy tale of New York city. Don't take the word modern in its mod ern sense. It isn't that kind Of a story. Three good hearted fellows who keep bachelor hall adopt a girl who comes to New York with 1 big ambitions and small change and who goes broke. They treat ner with brotherly affection, all having promised not to fall in love with her or propose marriage. Then | comes the World war and the 1 draft. The events that follow i'm mediately add q touch of pathos but just when the audience gets ready to shed tears, along comes a | laugh
 The show Is in good hands The cast is excellent. Miss Wells, in the lead is adapted by personality and | talent to offer a sublime bit of act ing. MT. Oliver is as natural as if he were "Remorse" in the flesh. Miss Drake gives an impressive characterization of "Mopupus," the slavey to whom the English lan- guage is a profound mystery. Mir Matthews was applauded every time he left the stage. He is per feet. Miss Foley contributed g bushel of laughs whenever she ap- peared. Mir. Keedwell and Mr. Car gan added the necessary touches to well balanced cast.
 "Laff That Off" will be laugheG at tonight, Saturday matinee anG

 WOLF IN INDIA
Story Is That One Fights Fierce Iy Against Rescue

London. Oct. 22 Pt-Two little wolf girls" were found recently living in a wolfs den near an iso- lated village in Benga, British In dia. The story is told by the 'NWest- minister Gazette" which received It from India, vouched for by the Rev. Jal Singh, of Midnapur, Bengal and Bishop Hakenham Walsh, of Bish- ops college, Calcutta.
 Bishop Walsh relates that about the end of August, while visiting Jal Singh's orphanage at Midnapur' Singh recounted how he discovered the wolf girls" in q distant part of his district not long before and the villagers pointed out to him a
 path they avoided, because 1t was haunted by demons.
 Investigations revealed Woll den in which there were several
 wolf cubs and two girls about two and eight years of age, both ex- ceedingly fierce, running on all fours, uttering gutteral parks and living like wolves.
 The supposition was that they were abandoned as babies by their mother or mothers and were found and adopted by the she wolf With
 much difficulty the children were
 rescued, but the younger died soon afterwards. The elder child survived and Is now at the orphanage. she was gradually weaned from her saVase ways. but fought fiercely against wearing clothes, which she tore oil even after they were sewn on her, For I time she refused 10 be washed and ate with her mouth in dish But eventually she was taught to use
 her hands and say few words. She is still weak mentally and neltn"' cries nor laughs. but is gentle VIII animals. preferring the company oI

II INDICTMENTS
FOUND AGAINT
JEWEL THIEVES
(By Dispatch A. P. wiro)


NEW YORK, April 1.-The mills of
the law whirred busily Wednesday
grinding out indictments against the
Richard Reese Wnittemore band OF
jewel robbers whose depredaitons
have totaled nearly $1,OO0,O0O and
havee cost several lives. In all, 12
indictments were returned during the
day.
Indictments also were returned
against two alleged fences" in
Brooklyn after Florence Carter Gas
she was called to hide her true iden-
tity) had been closeted with the
Kings county grand jury. The names
of the indicted fences" were not
made public, but it was said they
were prominent jewellers believed to
have disposed of the loot of several
of the Whittemore robberies.
Warrants wre issued for their ar
rest, an dit was hoped through them
to recover some of the valuables.
In Manhattan, the grand jury
brought superseding indictments
against Whittemore and Leon and Ja-
cobs Kraemer, charging robbery in
the first degree as second offenders.
William Unkelbach and "Shuffles"
Goldberg received additional indict-
ments and new indictment was
handed down against an unnamed
member of the gang not yet uder
arrest.
Whittemore, the Kraemers and Mrs.
Whittemore will be arraigned tomor-
row, and according to their counsel
will plead not guilty.
Although ne windictments were
found against Whittemore with other
members of his gang today, he will
not stand trial with them here next
week. Right to prosecute him in
New York county has been waived in
favor of murder charges standing
against him in both Baltimore and
Buffalo.

TARIFF BOARD
ATTACKED BY
COMMISSIONER
(By Dispatch A. Z. Wire)


WASHINGTON, April 1.-The tariff
commission was attacked Wednes-
day as a valueless, biased and un-
fair organization by Comtnissioner
Dennis "a democrat, of Maryland, be-
fore the senate investigating COM
mittee. The flexible provision of
the law, he said, has broken down
under "miserable administration" by
the majority of the present commits
sion for the "delibertae purpose of
destroying it."
The unpublished reports of the com
mission were delivered to the COM
mittee in respo1U,e to the subpoena
! but only the one on sugar duties was
made public today. 1t contained no
important details that had not been
made public previously, the White
House.
The report showed that a major
ity, Commissioners Culhertson, Lewis
and Costigan, had. recommended
decreased duty on sugar, while a
minority, Chairman Marvin and Com
missioner Burgess, advised the presi-
dent to let the present rates stand.
w.
because of personal interest in the
sugar industry.
President Coolidge, taking the ad-
vice of the minority, announced last
June, after the question had been
hanging fire for months, that there
would be no change in the duty.
The records disclosed that after
the president had received the sugar
reports on July 81, 124, he wrote
the commission on September 27,
1924 for additional information"
The majority sent statistical data to
the president on October 8, but on
October II, the minority wrote the
president that the majority had not
"all available data
The file shows that on October "a,
G. Bascom Slemp, then secretary to
the presidetn conferred with two
members of the commission, not iden-
titled and told them that the data
need not be sent at once" On No
vember IA, the Nesident wrote the
commission to send the data and it
was sent on that same day. In his
testimony, Commissioner Dennis
charged that the breakdown of ad-
ministration was due to the bias of
Chairman Marvin, who, he said, is
backed up by Commissioners Classic,
Broussard and Baldwin.
The flexible provision, he held, has
worked only one way-upWard He
declared the only complete case or
decreased rates was on 'Iive bob
white quail" and that ten recon-
mendations for increased duty have
been carried into effect.

More Truth Than Poetry
BY JAMES j. MONTAGUE
HELPLESS.

HELPLESS.
Once lived a bachelor, calmly con-
tented
With arid, unmarried and purpose
Jess lie.
Always with sinister sneers he dis
sented
When someone suggested he need
ed a wife.
'Marry?" said he, with scott of
derision,
when 1 have lived for SO Ions on
my cwn?
No! 1 have made, once for all, my
Clear to my grave shall journey
alone"
Once, lived a spinster, whose years
were just twenty,
Who met at a party this bachelor
chap,
Of wealth she had none, but of nerve
she had plenty
luxurys lap.
She looked in his eyes, and she said
"You are splendid,
You would make great hit as a
cinema star.
L always am frank, so please don't
be offended
When 1 say what a wonderful
person you are
She patted his hair, and she smooth
ed out an eyebrow,
She Strengthened his tie with a
wonderful grace
And said, 81 am sure that you must
be a highbrow
Because you have such an intelli-
gent face"
That night at her doorway the bach
elor tarried
And thrilled when she called him
a lovely old dear,
And week after next they were hap
PLY married
And lived in that fashion for many
year.
When a man prides himself on suf-
ficient resistance
To evade all the lures that wom-
an puts out,
And lead all his lifetime single
existence
That fellow is nothing to worry
about.
No woman as yet has endeavored
to get him,
He isn't the kind that attracts
them, that's all,
But as soon as one takes any trou-
BILE to pet him
And tell him he's brilliant and
handsome, he'll fall!
