 PARTY LEADER, DIES

New Haven, Sept. 8 P-George M. Gum, president of the Nationa i Tradesman bank of this city, z resident of Milford, long an active figure in democratic politics of the state, died today. Recently his leg was amputated because an infection of the member had made his con- dition precarious.

He had then just observed his 18th anni- versary. While he had been in fair health for some time he had sev- eral years ago period of illness When he entered the hospital last month it was for observation and the operation was decided upon with every encouragement that he would recover normal health.
 MT. Gum was a member of the general assembly in 1907 and was democratic leader in the house al the time John Q. Tilson was speak, CT and Elmore S. Banks was re- publican leader in that body. It was a session in which party lines were sharply drawn and MT. Gum had many parliamentary battles with his political opponents. This was a session also when Governor Woodruff had made an effort to se- cure adoption of a bill creating a public utilities commission and when also the New York, New Ha- ven and Hartford railroad com pany was seeking amendments to its charter to broaden its corporate powers. The session is looked back to as one of the most active on record.
 Through his party leadership MT. Gum became very well known throughout the state and many times later the party sought to have him permit use of his name ah candidate for nomination for state office. including the governor ship, but Mir. Gum, following his legal practice and later entering into finance and banking, refused to seek political preferement.

Had They Done So, Gen. Harbord Tells Kansas Legion, World Would Have B e en Better Off Today
Predicts in Few Years Veterans Will Control Government - Deplores Americas Insistence on Debt Settlement.

Fort Scott Kansas, Sept. 8 R- The world would be better off to. day if military leaders of Germany and the Allies had drawn up tho plans for world peace instead of the politicians who framed the Ver- sallles treaty, in the opinion of Mai. General James G. Harbord. presi- dent of the Radio Corporation of America, expressed before the state convention of the American Legion in session here.
 Would Have Succeeded
 "Foch, Pershing, Haig and Petatn. With Hindenburg and Ludendorff and a dozen stenographers, a few maps, a minimum of the so-caIled experts, in a months time would have made more enduring peace for the world than was accomplished by the conference of statesmen which sat in Paris for two years and played and plotted with the possi- bilities which were created by the valor of armies" he said.
 Future For War Vets
 General Harbord also predicted that within IS years a veteran of the A. E. F. would be seated in the presidential chair in Washington, and that ex-service men Of the World war would predominate in state and federal governmental cir cles, That time will find you majority in both houses of con- gress," he said, "and in the cabinet, and with one of your number in the presidential chair"
 DepIores Debt Demand
 The World was was the result of "banilrupt diplomacy and self serv- ingSstatesmanship." the general said. He also deplored the governments demands for payment of the French debt, and expressed concern over the apparent indifference of the aver- age American citizen to the vote, The primary system in elections encroachment by congress upon states rights, and the prevalent be- lief that laws are panacea for all ills were against the best interests of the country in his opinion.
 Confusion over the present debt situation he laid largely to the fact that the average voter does not take the trouble to have an opinion on the foreign policy of the country.
 Accumulated III Will
 You have permitted a settlement to be offered to France that will bring to your grandchildren tho accumulated III will of 62 years" he asserted. "One wonders if oun debt commission, In making that deal, had in mind the fact that q million and half of the verN flower of French manhood lie be. heath the sod, dead so that France might live, dead, hundreds of thous- ands of them.

KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS
 TO BUILD AUDITORIUM
Committee of Five to Con- slider What Steps
 to Take

Plans for an auditorium to be erected in the rear of the Knights of Columbus home on Franklin square were started last night at the annual meeting of the Knights of Columbus Building association held after the anual meeting of Daily council, No. 12, K. of C., in Judd's hall on Main street. The association voted to instruct the incoming presi- dent of the association to appoint committee of five members to look into the advisability of the project.
 The association elected board of directors and this board will meet after the first regular session of the council in October for the election of officers. Upon the selection of a president the committee will be ap- pointed.
 It has long been planned to utilize the area in the rear Of the present home for the site of an auditorium and gymnasium, but nothing definite has ever been done towards it's real ization until last night. Concrete ac- ton will probably be taken in the matter after the committee becomes organized and investigates the situa- tion.
 It is understood that an estimate of the cost of a building had been made some years ago and a price of s200.000 was placed on the proposed building. These plans will probably be utilized if the association votes to build, but the entire project will not be attempted at the first step. It is understood that a building costing about S25,000 will first be erected, but will be built in such a manner that in later years the original plans will be carried out.
 The attitude of the. members at the meeting last night, which was the most largely attended of the year. indicates that that the project will be carried through. The motion to appoint the committee was re- ceived with warm enthusiasm and was carried with hardly a dissenting vote. This will be the second project undertaken by the members of the Knights of Columbus in this city.
 The council originally occupied quarters in Hanna's Black on Main street and after the war, these be- 1

Fire Board to Defy Tadesmen;
 Votes to Repair Ciity:s Trucks
Turns Down Request to Keep Bremen Exclu- sively Fighting Fires Tilt With Architect.

Disregarding the request of the tradesmen that it reconsider it's ac- ton of a previous meeting relative to the installation of an index sys- tenn showing the occupation and trades of the firemen, the fire board at its meeting last night, voted to go ahead with it's plan and to in form the tradesmen of their deci- sion.
 The communication from the tradesmen was read. They said they learned in a recent issue of the Herald that the flremen were to be used to do the work of tradesmen and it was their belief that flremen should fight fire and not engage in other occupations.
 This came as the result of a pro- posal of Chairman c. J. Dehm that an index system be installed which would be handy for the department to take care of repairs without the expense and trouble of calling upon outside help.
 Immediately after the communi- cation was read, Commissioner Shanahan moved that the clerk be instructed to inform the tradesmen that the board will continue in It's present system. He said he thought that the commission had a right to know about the ability of it's men,
 The board apparently intended to follow this course for earlier in the meeting it voted to locate tiremen who have experience in the automo- bile repair field and use them to repair the Seagraves truck at head quarters. The board also voted to appropriate sufficient money for hlr- ing an expert from the factory 10

 New Hampshire Primary
 Manchester, N. H., Sept. s P}- Senator George H. Moses, republi- can, president pro tempore of the United States senate, today stood re- nominated by a plurality that was expected to reach 10000 votes.
 With returns from 261 of 294 towns and wards in yesterdays primary election complete, he led his nearest opponent, former Governor Robert P. Bass. by plurality of 17,SG7 votes, the vote was Moses 32,S59; Bass 15,492; Former Judme James W. Remick of Concord, has 8G9.
 The senator's victory ended one of states warmest campaigns, during which Senator Moses stood firm on his record in Washington, while former Governor Bass flatly charged him with failure to support the ad- ministration's policies. The sena- tors adverse vote on the world court question. despite a request from Governor Winant for favor able ballot, and his proposed investi- gation of the Box peace awards came in for severe criticism, as did his to the 1924 tax bill and farm relief measures and his votes to override the presidential veto of the postal salary and pension bills.

KING, THOUGH DEAD, HAS PART IN CASE
Jess ". Smith, Also Deceased, Mentioned ill Daugherty Trial
EVIDENCE IS OUTLINED
Dist. Atty. Bucllner Tells Jury It Will Prove That Daugherty, Miller, King and Smith Accepted Bribes of S441.000.

New York, Sept. 8 (P)-The names of two men now in their graves, will figure prominently in the trial of Harry M. Daugherty, former attor- ney general, and Thomas w. Miller, former alien property custodian, on charges of conspiring to defraud the government while they held high public office.
 King and Smith. This was made clear today when | United States District Attorney Bucgner presenting the prosecu- tion's case, mentioned repeatedly the names of the late John T. King, of Bridgeport, once republican na- tional committeeman from Connecti- cut, and the late Jess W. Smith, aid and confidante of Daugherty, who committed suicide in 1923.
 They Pulled the Strings.
 King and Smith, Mir. Buckner charged, pulled the strings in ringing about the transfer to al legedly German claimants, of ST. ! O00,000 realized from the sale of American Metals company securl- | ties seized as enemy property when | the United States entered the great war.
 Richard Merton, German metal magnate, is another man who will figure prominently in the trial, ap- bearing as a government witness. lie and his family, the government con- l tends, controlled the two German firms and the supposedly Swiss firm | that were involved in the transfer or the $7,000,000.
 We will show by government rec ords of hotel travel, and other ex- pense accounts" said MT. Buckner, that Miller, Smith, Daugherty, John 1 T. King and Merton met in New York city on April 19, 1921, and that Miller, Smith and Daugherty came here for the purpose of meeting Merton"

 This, the prosecutor said, was liter Merton had come to this coun- try to find some one with political pulp that would assure approval of the claim to the $7,000,O00. John T. King was the man he finally chose, and the conference of the five men consequently was arranged, MT. Buckner asserted.
 MT. Buckner declared that when Merton later visited Daugherty in Washington to take up the case, the German metal magnate did not have with him a single document or scrap of paper as a basis for the S7,000,000 claim"
 Met at MCAIpin
 "The government will show sad Mr. Buckner, that Smith met Mer- ton and Merton will testify that he was told that it would be a good thing to meet Colonel Miller and that he, Jess Smith and John T. King went to the hotel McAlpin where Smith introduced Merton to Miller and Miller told Merton to come to Washington to see him.
 within the next week Merton made the trip to Washington and Jess Smith took him to Miller's of flee. Miller sent for his chief as- sistant, R. E. Williams, a man whom he has promoted to a job that paid a larger salary than his own. The

Identity of Auto Which Brought Wounded Murderer to This City May Lead to Gang Quarters
Startling Disclosures" In- timated by Hartford Au- thorities if They Find Owner of Automobile.

Hartford, Sept. OP - Every branch of the Hartford police de- partment was pressed into service this morning in an effort to locate the mysterious truck that carried Cozare Barberi, confessed slayer of Carmelo Tiralongo, from New Brit ain to Brooklyn, N. Y, Saturday night.
 Questioned as to their reason for attaching such importance to the truck, the police admitted that upon the establishment of its ownership would hinge the exposure of (. giant bootlegging and high-jacking ring that has been operating in this section of the state. Disclosures that may later be made, they in- timated, will be startling.
 Chief Garrett J. Farrell, was in close touch with the detective bu- reau in it's work on clues to the whereabouts of the truck, which the police have for the time being designated "the truck of mystery"
 Lieut.. Frank Santoro, head of the detective bureau, departed from his usual custom and this morning left his desk to accompany Detective Sergeant Nicholas Gallicchio and John F. Madigan in their search for the truck. The three officials were away from the police station for several hours but it was not re- vealed where their clues led them, or whether or not they remained in the city or went to New Britain.

Caught Through Local Tip

The arrest yesterday afternoon in Corona, L. l., of Cezare Barzeri confessed murderer of Carmelo Tira- longo, Torrington bootlegger, in Hartford was made possible through the activity of the New Britain po- lice in wringing from Carmelo Bon giovanni of 56 Beaver street, this city, admissions that he accompanied Barberi on an automobile truck to Brooklyn, N. Y, Sunday night, 1t was said at police headquarters to- day.
 Immediately on obtaining Bon- Ciovanni's admissions, Detective Ser geant William P. McCue told De- tective Sergeants John r.
