acres of desert, every square mile of

This challenge for the future follow
ing upon glorious past was hurled
at the high school graduates last night
at the commencement exercises by
Mary Hickox, valedictorian. Her adj
dress, although brief, was impressive
and carried with it the spirit of youth
setting forth to conquer.
Hiss Hicl1ox spoke as follows:

have passed We are entering a new
and broader life, which requires Il
stronger effort and a more definite
purpose to meet it's responsibilities, if
it is to benefit humanity No higher
nor happier possibilities, if it is to
it is to benefit humanity. No higher
nor happier possibilities for such serv-
ice are found than those of our own
state We cannot work with an en-
ergy of purpose too steadfast nor a
faithfulness of zeal, too ardent.
we throw away the richest part of
our endowment if we do not profit by
examples, if we do not mold into our
beings the patriotic principles of IL
lustrious men of the past, and bear
such loyalty to those principles as
will not surrender them to any ambi-
ton for personal advancement, nor to
any fear of personal consequences.
We need to learn that it is shame
full to desert and that it requires
courage and strength to stand for
the right.

 House Plans

Architect Delbert K. Perry, who drew plans for the Naples house on Hart street which is the storm cen ter af a row in which the owners, neighbOrs and city departments are now involved, intimated today he will refuse to follow the building departments suggestion that the plans be changed.
 At a special meeting of the build ing commission yesterday following an inspection of the premises, the department decided to ask Architect Perry to alter the plans in some respects. the change being intended to give the building the appearance of a single family dwelling, which is the type for which q permit was issued. Neighbors and building authorities who examined the house, declare it resembles a two-family building in some respects, and q three family house in others, but has little indication of intent to use for one family.
 Asked today If he would alter the plans as requested by the building department. Mr. Perry replied:
 "I haven't been asked to chang" ,he plans, either by the city or the owners. If the owners ask me, ] probably will.
 "The building is being erected in accordance with the plans and spoci- tications approved by the city at th' time the permit was issued"
 What the effect of the architects virtual refusal will be is problem atical and probably will not be de tqrmined until the building com, mission holds it's next special meet ing, scheduled for Monday night There is talk Of reyoking the Qermi OH the ground that three rooms am q bath have been placed on thu third floor though not provided to' in the plan, and il Is claimed Una this is sufficient ground for revoca ton of the permit.

NEW BRITAIN POLICE
 AGAIN ARE ASSAILED
Testimony in Chapman Trial Partly Basis of
 Renewed Fight

Hartford, March 19 (P,--The fight to save Gerald Chapman from the gallows on April is not over. aC- cording to counsel who are planning nc" moves to prevent the state from executing the convicted murderer of a representative Of the law.
 In face of the declaration of Gov crnor John Trumbull that he would not again grant Chapman & repricvc, a fourth stay of execution will bo sought in order that the bandits at torneys may have time 10 carry out the program of court procedure they have in mind, Ray M. Wiley Of Springfield, Mass, a member of the defense counsel. has said.
 Should the governor refuse anoth- cr rcprieve, it is planned by the criminals legal staff 10 seek an in junction in the federal court to pre- vent H. K Scott. warden of the state prison from hanging Chapman until the new issue are decided.
 Contemplated also is q move foI a new trial on the ground that three New Britain policemen gave inac' curate testimony against Chapman during his trial year ago here il the superior court for killing one o their number.
 At the same time counsel eXpeC to pay the foundation for an appca 10 the United States supreme cour on the constitutional question as 't whether the condemned man had { fair trial.
 A conference 10 be held Saturda, afternoon at @he office of Attorne! Joseph M. Freedman will determin, the first step to be pursued in th' 1 continued battle for the Afe of thu gunma@.
 1 Chapman's lawyers are coniiden i their planned legal moves will keel the case in the courts for a perio, much later tn; April 6, and wil resort 10 the federal courts 10 kev' the man alive until they have oN ! hausted every legal means at thei disposal,
 It is rather anticipated that th conference will decide on the tilin of motion for q new trial, whiC will be done in all probability O Tuesday or Wednesday. If this denied. the petition for a writ c habeas corpus will be submitted i Judge Edwin s. Thomas Of the fed
 eral district court on Thursday C
 Friday. That would give the wee
 of March 29. the last full Calenda
 week before the date set for th
 execution, for determination of :
 issues as presented, and the perfct
 ton of appeals in the state and fec eral courts.

 New Ring

New York. March 19 Rl--Mannie Kessler, who returned from Atlanta penitcntiary last summer after serving two years on bootlegging charges, has again been charged with implication in new. huge bootlegging conspiracy
 United States Attorney Buckner has filed complaint against kossler, who is reputed to be worth millions, Maurice SWeetwood an old friend Of Kessler's who was q fellow convict at Atlanta, and 21 others.

N. J. Officials say it is the biggest plant of it's kind yet seized, its still alone being valued at about $40,0O0.
 Intensive work of under cover prohibition men, acting at Nr. Buck uer'S direction, began with the re- ,eipt of an anonymous Communica~ ion last October and required five months to get at inc bottom of the workings of the south River Chem iral company.
 Mr. Buckner said the specific basis Tor his present charges arose from the seizure on March 4 of a truck containing 13 drums of redistilled, denatured alcohol, and seven drums of ethyl acetate. The driver of the truck told the federal agents the drums contained banana oil,' but he was arrested and the full signi' ficance of the arrest and seizure kept secret at the time.
