 Haven-At 3 p. m.

New Haven, Aug. 2S.-Two events of importance were on today's pro- gram for members of the state de- partment of the American Legion attending the eighth annual conven- tion here. The first was the busi- ness session during the forenoon al which officers for the ensuing year were to be elected and new and un- finished business disposed of.
 The other was the parade in the afternoon to be reviewed by city of ficials and invited guests.
 The three-day convention at which Col. Theodore Roosevelt was the guest of honor the first day and Col. John A. Cutchins of the Rich- mond Blues of Virginia the second day will close with the parade.
 Legionnaries believe that the parade will be the best Legion parade so far held as virtually every one of the 109 posts in the state will be represented.
 There will be four sections which will form in the vicinity of the Hotel Garde in time to start at D. m., (eastern standard time).
 A band will accompany each sec tion. Members of the ladies' auxil- iary will march with the third di- vision.
 Last night the grand convention and initiation of the 40 and 8 were held. A stag vaudeville show fol- lowed.
 Earlier in the evening Col. John A. Cutchins was the guest of honor at a dinner at the Union League club.

OBSOLETE CARDS USED
 ON CONSTRUCTION JOBS
Building Department officials Hear Rumors of Fraud and May
 Ask For Warrant,

Placards issued by the building department to be placed on struc- lures in which building operations are in progress are being made to do double service, being placed on unlicensed jobs after permitted work is completed, Building Inspec- tor A. N. Rutherford has been told.
 The inspector is investigating a report of this nature today and if 1t is found to be a fact he will ask Prosecuting Attorney Joseph G. Woods to issue a warrant, he said.
 Use of placards was determined upon as a means of curbing the practice of building without a per- nit. The cards are large and of a bright color and it is required that they be posted conspicuously on the outside of the building before work is started. In the past the presence of such a card has bene taken as prima facie evidence of the exis- tence of a permit, but the depart ment plans to make more thorough investigation hereafter.

TALKS HIMSELF INTO
 TWO FINES IN COURT
Hesiin Uses Tongue Freely But Judge Is Lenient
 Later

Howard Heslin, of 237 Corbin avenue talked himself into being ar rested for reckless driving and vio- latlon of the rules of the road this morning, and in police court he talked himself into two fines which he would not have had to pay had he held his tongue. As it turned out, Judge filling suspended execu- tion of judgment so that Heslin was charged only the costs of the court, after court, but he warned the young man against maintaining his attitude of defiance towards the po- lice and the court.
 Officer John c. Stadler testified that as he was waiting for bus to come to work at 7:45 this morning, he saw Heslin drive five ton truck loaded with crushed stone from Kelsey street into East street at a rate of speed in excess of 20 miles an hour, and when he spoke to him about it and warned him that he would be arrested if he was not more careful hereafter. Heslin said. 'Is that so?" Heslin was coasting the truck down Kelsey hill and when he made the turn he cut to the left of the intersection, the off cer said.
 Heslin pleaded not guilty of both charges and said he was not coast ing down the hill. If the officer knew anything about trucks he would not say five ton machine could coast down Kelsey hill and make the turn into East street. The speed of the truck down the hill was not more than 16 or IS miles an hour, he insisted.
 Judge filling started to say that he would fine Heslin $10 and costs for violation of the rules of the road and order him to pay only the costs, and suspend judgment on the reck- less driving charge, when Heslin in- terrupted as he heard the mention of s10 and said, "I'll appeal" Stop ping short, Judge Alling said: "All right, if you're going to appeal, I'll fine you $25 for reckless driving also"
 After court Heslin pleaded with Judge filling to suspend execution of the sentence. He said he needs his license as a means of livelihood and it will be suspended for long period in view of his conviction. The judge told him he would not have been arrested had he held his tongue, and he would not have been fined but for his defiant demeanor. He advised the young man to be more careful in his attitude towards constituted authority in the future, otherwise he would be in more trouble.

TWENTY CONNECTS IN SENSATIONAL ESCAPE FROM
 REFORMATORY IN MICHIGAN
RODGERS LAST STORY
 WAS OF HIS FLIGHT
Article Appears in Sept. Issue of Legion
 Periodical

Philadelphia, Aug. 2S P>-Probab- ly the last article written by Com mander John Rodgers appears in the September issue of the Amercian Le- zion Monthly. It is entitled "Via Air and Water" and is brief account of the thrilling adventure that cli- maxed his Hawaii an fight. It fol- lows:
 By observation of the sun and stars we found exactly our position on the Pacific ocean after the sea- plane PN-9 was compelled, on Sep tember 1, 1925. ta alight, 1S4O miles miles by air from San Francisco and 50 miles from the Hawaiian Islands From San Francisco to the Ha- waiian Islands is 2100 miles, the greatest distance over the seas with out intervening land. The ambition of our naval aviators has always been to make this hop because If a flier can make that hec an fly any where on earth.
 within a few hundred miles of our goal we had to come down, floating on the surface of the ocean we rigged an antenna and received radio messages, but we could not send because our sending set requir- ed power from the engine, and we could not run the engfine.
 "We stripped the cloth from the lower wings and rigged it as sails on the spars like the saiS of a square-rigged ship, and. because Of i the direction of the prevailing winds, ! headed for the Island of Keui, the most western Of the Hawaiian group, l 450 miles away. It took us nine days to reach our objective. Giant sharks ] followed us for days and great sea 1 birds lowered over us. We were short of food, but could not eat what we had because we had little drink ing water. We depended for our SUD- ply on a still which converted salt water into fresh water. Lacking gasoline for fuel to run the still. we
 used wood from the wings of the plane, a slow process. When our water was completely exhausted
 however, their came a heavy rain squall which revived us.
 We heard by radio the reports of the searching vessels and the news of the Shenandoah disaster. We heard a news message say that 21 | fellow aviators believed our plane lost, but were were relieved to hear the searching ships ordered to main tain their stations.
 "The wind forced us to pass the | beautiful island of Oahu where we could plainly see Honolulu, and pro- ceeded on our course to Kaui, 100 miles distant. Aa soon as we en- tered the channel between Oahu and Kaui, at a point about 15 miles off the shores of Kaui, we were sighted 1 by a submarine which had been watching for us there for eight days She gave us food and landed us at Newilewile.

l6 CASES OF BEER FOUND IN
 RAID ON POLICEMAN'S STORE

rey of this town and Deputy Sher- if Hotchkiss of the states attorneys office descended on the place yes- terday afternoon and confiscated the alleged beer.
 Kaufman has been in business here little over a year At the start of the school year last fall he was appointed traffic officer to pro- tect the children crossing Whiting street at the corner where his store is located.
 A second raid was made by the deputy sheriffs, who entered the Palace of Sweets on Whiting street. At this place, which is operated by the zahary Bros. only five or six bottles of suspicious liquid were found Samples of the alleged beer found in both places have been sent to Hartford for analysis and the storekeepers will be arrested if this shows an illegal alcoholic content.

.ONLY ONE CONTEST IS
 SEEN FOR CONVENTION
Wadhams, and Possibly Walcott, Will Oppose
 Lieut.. Gov. Brainard

New Haven, Aug. 28 P-That in- terest in republican state politics is not in sleepy conditions was indicat- ed last gAt state wide caucuses to elect delegates from towns to the state convention next month, and delegates to congressional, senator ial, representative and probate con- ventions.
 In nearly every town the republi- .can electors ( the caucus list turn out, women in most instances num- bering or exceeding the number of men present. Here and there a con- test or a rifle of unusual activity, gave zest to the gatherings.
 The republicans went into their caucuses fully aware that the state ticket to be nominated at Hartford September IS and 14, except for conclusion, that the five congress- men were to be renominated and that some of the ; Gte senators were again in the running. This left lit tie in the way of party contention ito be disposed of through selection of convention delegates.
 On the state ticket the only con- test ahes appears 10 be for the place of lieutenant governor in which present acting Lieut.. Governor J. Edwin Brainard of Branford, will be opposed by John Wadhams of Goshen, with the figure of Frederic c. Walcott of Norfolk in the back ground.
 In the Wallingford caucus a reso- lution 10 instruct the delegation to vote for Brainard was defeated S5 to S5 on he ground that precedent was against instruction of delegates.
 Two big contests which vied in party interest were those at Stam- ford and New Haven where the is- sue was local control of the party organization. In the former city the struggle was an aftermath of the eral assembly and a legacy of a still older disagreement dating back to the time when the late Michael H. Kenealy was defeated for the state chairmanship by J. Henry Roraback, a disagreement which came by inheritance to Senator
 Matthew H. Kenealy who is leader of the regular" republicans in Stamford against the Lincoln" re- publicans marshalled by House Clerk

Ace May Be Dropped as Head of Nonstop Journey But Byrd Declines to Take His PIace-Flight En- gineer Quits in Wrath.

New York, Aug. 2S tPl-The New York World says today that admin istrative squabbles threaten post ponement of the proposed nonstop transatlantic flight of Captain Rene Fonck, and possibly his elimination in favor of an all-American crew.
