PLUMBING FEE MEETS
 WITH MUCH DISFAV0R
Price of Small Jobs in Homes Increased Ma
 terially by s Permit

Dissatisfaction with the new or dlnance passed by the common coun- cil providing for the payment of a SS fee for all plumbing licenses has been voiced by almost every plumb ing organization in tt city and it is rumored that the matter will be brought to a head at a meeting, of the Master Plumbers association soon.
 The plumbers complain that the fee is assessed on all their jobs re- gardless of size with the result that some of the smaller jobs would have to bring prices that are out of the question if the plumbers take out the SS fee on them.
 Although the law has been in effect four days starting last Mon day, the plumbing department has only received requests for six per mits, four of which came in today. It is believed that the tradesmen throughout the city are going ahead with some of their jobs with the permit.
 Plumbing Inspector Phillip J. Tormay declared this afternoon that he has found the plumbers throughout the city in a very CO., operative spirit with his office since 1919, but in this instance he finds the plumbers might try to avoid ap- plying for the permit. He is mak- ing every effort to check up on them, but the job is almost impos- sible for one man since there are many small jobs which might easily be taken care of without outside knowledge.
 Those who have paid the s3 fee have not made any kick but it is un- derstood that they favor a change an assessment is made &C., cording to the size of the job rather than straight feet for all jobs.

Mrs. Butrin was in the hay loft in the barn when Officer Cabelus found her, and she said sfe feared her husband would kill her.
 Butrin said he found his wife making beer when he came home yesterday and he did not think the brew would turn out right and he said so. One word followed another and she hit him on the arm with a spoon, scratching his arm and anger- ing him so that he pushed her and spilled the mash. If you can't make beer right. you're not going to waste my money on it." he said he told her. He denied having struck her or threatening to kill her.
 Judge Hungerford asked him if he thinks he can live with his wife happily and quietly and Butrin re- piled that he had done so for 32 years Judge Hungerford told him to continue to do so and keep out of trouble

CATHOLIC CLERGYMEN
 DEMAND THEIR RIGHTS
Father Burke, Secretary of Welfare Conference,
 Issues Statement

Washington, Aug. R-Catholic bishops and priests in Mexico are demanding only the rights guaran- lteed to Mexicans under the national constitution of that country, Father John J. Burke, secretary of the Ma tional Catholic Welfare conference. said in a statement today.
 Referring to reports that the bish- ops had appealed to President Gales for restoration of their citizenship, Father Burke said the reason was apparent, adding:
 What are the civic rights denied to Mexican bishops and priests :? They are denied the liberty of speech and press. of assembly and petition. equality before the law and trial by jury, the right to property either as individuals or in corporations. the right to vote and hold office. They are denied the right to exercise their profession, excepting under suffer- ance and by executive clemency of not only federal officers, but of every village authority.
 'In the enjoyment of what little the law leaves to them, they are harassed in countless ways.
 ITO refer only to the decrees pub lished during July by Gales, the na- tive-born Mexican priests are sub jected to the following tyrannical provisions:

Judge Thomas Orders Stock Returned to Estate
 of ex-Banker's Father

Hartford, Aug. 6 Pl-United States District Judge Edwin S. Thomas, in a decision filed with the clerk Of the court today, upholds the recommendation of Edward NJ. Yeo- mans as special master in the mat ter of G. Harold Gilpatric, bank rupt, and orders Trustee Arthur E. Howard, Jr., to turn over to the pe- ttoner. George W. Gilpatric, certain capital stock Of the Whipple and Gilpatric corporation, on payment of s6,0o0. together with accrued inter- est on that sum
 In the report of Trustee Howard, to Referee in Bankruptcy Saul Ser man on January 27. the value Of the Whipple & Gilpatric stock was giv- en at s61.064, and was included in the s70,739 the trustees at that time hoped to obtain for the creditors. The court decision reduces the sum realized by the creditors by about s55,000, Judge Thomas ordering the petitioner (the estate Of George w. Gilpatric) to turn over to the trus- tee s6,000, with interest, when the stock would be returned.
 The s6,OOO to be paid the trus- tee for the stock is the amount Of lien held by the City Bank and Trust company, which was for a pledge given by the bank on the stock.
 The special master heard the pe- tition of George W. Gilpatrjc, fath- CT of the bankrupt, for the return of the stock, and recommended that the petition be granted, to which the trustee took exception. In overruling the exceptions, the court points out that the special master had made 2S findings in his report. to most of which no exception was taken, defi- nite exception being taken in but one instance.
