MAY LINK UP POLICE
 WITH RADIO STATION
This Is One Plan Suggested at Meeting Held at
 WTIC Today

Hartford, Conn, Aug. P}- Thirty officials representing fifteen towns and cities throughout the state attended Q meeting in the old senate chamber at the state capital today, had for the purpose of dis cussing plans for increasing the CO., operation of the various police de- partments with WTIC, the broad casting station of the Travellers h. surancc Company, in the broadcast ing of police news.
 Harris Whittemore, Jr., warden of the town of Naugatuck. who was in strumcntal in getting the police chiefs to get here, was chairman of the meeting.
 Vice President Walter G. Cowels of the Travellers Insurance Company explained that facilities of the WTIC broadcasting station which he said were at the service of the police all over the state. He said the great problem was that of establishing lines of quick contact between the broadcasting station and the various police headquarters.
 It was suggested that receiving sets be placed at all police stations with bells attached which could be rung when WTlC was on the air.
 It was voted at the meeting that Warden Whittemore appoint a com mittee of five police chiefs to make further study of the situation.
 Following the meeting a picture was taken on the norh plaza of the capitol and a luncheon was served at Hotel Bond.

 Those of Other Years.

Philadelphia, Aug. 4 Pl-A wom- an one hundred and one years old is not too old to have bobbed hair, said Mrs. Katherine Ricketts. who observed her 1O1st birthday ami versary today. But" added Mrs Ricl5etts smilingly, T advocated bobbed hair for old women like me as a means of comfort, and not for style"
 If girls want short dresses and enjoy smoking cigarettes, they should be granted those privileges, !" Mrs. Ricketts said. Women smok- ed pipes years ago and there was nothing thought of that. While I don't SC any harm in it, l never smoked a pipe or cigarettes.
 Speaking of her long life, Mrs. Mrs. Ricketts said:
 Tt is Gods will that he had spared me so long. l do not diet. but eat ice cream three times a day and drink plenty of coffee."
 Mrs. Ricketts Is said to be the oldest widow of Civil War soldier. Today she was surrounded by her seven grandchildren and three great grandchildren. She spends her idle moments reading when she does not have any embroidering or crochet ing to doS

NEW HAVEN MAN FOUND
 DEAD IN HIS MOTOR CAR
William O. StoweH, Jr., Victim of Apoplexy, Brought On By
 Heat Exhaustion.

New Haven, Aug. 4 P)-William o. Stowell Jr., president and trea- surer of the Stowell Insurance Com pany was found dead in his auto mobile in the shore drive at Fort Hale Park last night.
 Medical Examiner George Joslin said that death had been due pri- marily to apopleXy, and that heat exhaustion was a secondary cause.
 Mir. Stowell had been in business here for about nine years.
 He was married and lived in West Haven. He was 49 years old.
 Late yesterday afternoon he tran- acted some business, at that time apparently enjoying good health.
 He had complained recently how ever that he was bothered with high blood pressure which necessitated him going on diet.
 The automobile in which the body was found slumped over on the seat was just few hundred feet from the Fort Hale bath house. The car had been driven to one side of the drive near the beach. Stowells hat and coat were off and he clutched a damp handkerchief in his hand. On the beach near the car a quan- tity of gauge was found and more gauge was found in the automobile just in back of the body.
 It was believed that he had been dead two hours when the body swas found by motorists. Hundreds in other cars had passed the spot dur ing the interval. Besides his widow he is survived by his father and two sisters.

Institute of Politics at Will liamstown Hears of Wonders That Can Be Accomplished by Chemi- cal Research - World Peace Included.

Williamstown, Mass, Aug. 1 P- International peace, improved living conditions and betterment of the la bor situation all lie in the hand of the chemist, as the servant of super power, the Institute of Politics was told today.
 R. T. Haslam. professor of chem ical engineering at the Massachu- sets Institute of Technology, pie tured a future in which smokeless cities, without slums, would flourish under conditions of health and pros perity unknown today.
 Asserting that possession of oil is the principal present-day national irritant, Professor Haslam said that chemistry, by perfecting means for transforming coal into oil cheaply, would prove 8 great safeguard to world peace.
 Such conversion of solid fuel to liquid fuel by new chemical pro- cesses, he continued. would result III the ccntralization of power and re- suit in decentralization of industry.
 The Uncrowded City
 Tn this development he saw tu- ture in which cities would be un- crowded, in which power would be as obtainable in one spot as an- other, and in which an abundance of power would increase manulactur- ing efficiency and the living condi- tions of the laborer.
 The ultimate goal" he said, lis the processing of coal into the smokcless form, solid, liquid or gas- eous, with all power centrally gen. erated and distributed electrically And the ultimate goal means a cleaL in our cities, the oppor- tunity of living in less congested districts. ready access of the city dweller to the country for rccrea- tion, urban advantages on the farm, and a general increase in the happi- ness of everyone"
 Blamcs Russian Influence
 Russian influence was blamed for the boycott in China against English goods by Henry K. Norton, student of the Far East, in an address today before the institute.
 He described Russias position in China as that of chief irritator, at odds Automatically with England and Japan, and wreaking ven- geance on the former nation by arousing Chinese elements to carry on the boycotts against English goods in many of the Chinese ports.
 Professor c. H. Peake of Columbia maintained that Chinese rather than Russian malice, was the basis of the boy 2otts. The British. he said. have placed too much blame, on the bol- sheviks.
 When the British realize that 1 he boycott arises out o1 Chinese | then they will be able 0 understand the issues involved In | he boycott. The Chinese have used | he bolshevil.s because of the clever echnique they had devised to com 'at imperialism" Professor Peake

Schmidt received three cuts on the face from three to six inches long and Clarence Schmidt's arm was broken.

Soon after, steps were taken to collect damages from the company carrying Flaum's taxi cab insurance but the company went into the hands of receiver.
 So far as can be learned. Flaum has no taxicabs registered in his name in New York this year. and service In the s40.ooo suits will bc made on the commissioner of motor vehicles, as provided by law.
 Attorney Greenstein issued the writs which are returnable in super for court in September.

.MORGAN'S PARTNER
 DENIES STOCK TIP
Cochrane Radios RepudiatiOn Ol
 General Motors Forecast
MlSQUOIED, HE DECLARES
Says He Commented Favorably on This Stock but Absolutely Made No Predictions as to Price for Which it Would Sell,

New York, Aug. P)-Thomas Cochran, partner of J. P. Morgan x company, bound for Europe on the Olympic, today radioed to the Morgan firm a population Of the alleged interview which he was quoted as predicting an advance of 100 points in General Motors stock,
 Cochran's Message.
 Tn response to inquiries made of me by a ship news reporter upon my sailing from New York on a holiday" MT. Cochran said, T spoke with enthusiasm of the earn ings, management and prospects of the General Motors corporation.
 T authorized no statement of any kind as to the future price of the stock, which obviously no one can foreteu."
 The alleged statement by Mir. Cochran, printed by Q financial news ticker last Monday, astounded the financial district because of its radi- cal departure from the traditional conservatism of the Morgan firm, and immediately started feverish speculation in General Motor stock.
 Although Wall street was frankly skeptical of the purported interview and it was characterized by a Mor- gan official as beyond all prece- dent,' spectators seized upon the reported remarks of MT. Cochran as a my last tip" and bid the stocks up to record heights.
 Reaction Starts Today.
 When Mir. Cochran sailed last Sat urday, General Motors was selling at 1S912, where it closed the week for a gain of more than 23 points. When the alleged interview was published Monday noon, speculation in the stock ran riot, reaching a cli- max with the establishment of a | new high record above PA. Today, l following the announcement Of the l denial, the shares broke to POT, 1 starting a reaction in other sections of the market.
