IRVING BERLIN NOW
 IS APR0UD FATHER
Blue Eyed Daughter Ar. riyes at His Home
 Thanksgiving Day

New York, Nov. 25 R11rving Berlin. the king of Tin Pan Alley. and his wife, the former Ellin Mackay of the fashionable world. are the parents of a seven pound, blue eyed daughter. She has been named Mary Ellin Berlin.
 The baby was born yesterday in York house. a private sanitarlum just east of Fifth avenue on 72nd street. while Berlin neglected his Thanksgiving dinner to pace the hospital corridors. Franklin F. Adams, known to newspaper read CTS of his humorous column as "F. P. A." who paced the corridors on his own account week ago when a son arrived. was with Berlin.
 Mrs. Berlin's father. Clarence Mackay, president of the Postal Telegraph company. who was re- ported to have disinherited his daughter because of the marriage, was duck hunting on Gardner's Is- land. in Long Island Sound, at the time. Her mother. Mrs. Joseph A. Blake, was one of the first to ar- rive at the hospital to congratulate Mrs. Berlin. however. Mrs. Blake ex- pressed great pleasure at becoming grandmother on Thanksgiving day.
 municipal building last January caused a sensation from the jazz palaces of Broadway to the fash ionable apartments of Park avenue. MT. Mackay expressed his complete surprise" and declared the marriage took place without his consent or knowledge.
 After their marriage. MT. and Mrs. Berlin spent week at Atlantic City, and then sailed for prolonged honeymoon in Europe. Reports that Mir. Mackay had changed his will disinheriting Mrs. Berlin could nev- CT be verified, although he did au- thorize a statement that no effort was being made toward a recon ciliation. Berlin has denied that Roman Atholic ceremony to win his favor was in prospect.
 Before sailing, Mrs. Berlin ad- mitted that the love ballads of her husband had won her heart. Upon their return to New York incog- nito by way of Canada in August, they sought seclusion. however, from the publicity that had attend ed their European trip.
 For the past few months. the Berlns have been living at a quiet apartment hotel in the East Fifties. but after his daughters birth yes- terday. Berlin ordered their belong ings returned to his apartment in the roaring Forties." where he gained his fame.

HAMDEN PROSECUTOR
 DENIES CELLS DIRTY
New Hampshire Man Pro- tests to Governor of
 Alleged Treatment

Hamden, Conn, Nov. 26 P-The cells In the Handen jail are "as clean as any in this section of the state," declared Hamden officials this morning in denying statements made by W. Wallace Redish. exec uttve secretary of the chamber of commerce, of Keene, N. H., that he was treated like gutter rat" and thrown into cell 'reeking with dirt, filth and vermin" when ar rested in Hamden.
 Redish, who was delegate to the recent New England conference in Hartford, and who was arrested for speeding after the close of the con- ference, has written to Governor Trumbull complaining of the treat ment he alleges he received in Ham den.
 Prosecuting Attorney B. B. saltz- man, who figured in the Redisa case. said this morning: ..s
 "In tho first place. the statement about the cell room being dirty Is untrue. There is no vermin there. Modern equipment was installed two years ago and the place is cleaned every time anyone occupies cell. It is better than any cell room in these parts." ...
 Redish said he was offered his re- lease upon payment of s3S but as he had but $34.O7 in his pockets. he was forced to go to jail. The pros- ecuting attorney, commenting on this phase of the case this morning, said:
 q was awakened about midnight when Redish came to my home. l told him he could wait until court opened in the morning or settle for s25 and costs amounting to $35. He picked up his hat and coat and said he would stay in the station house. He did not explain who he was but denied he was driving his car 50 miles an hour.
 "The following morning, when court opened. another case. which we believed would be short one, was put on, but there were a great many defense witnesses and the case stretched out until noon. when the judge called a recess. called the judge back so that the Redish case cou.I be disposed of The man did not have enough money in his pockets to pay his fine Of slo and costs and was released upon his promise to send the money upon his return home. This has not yet been received.
 There was no discourtesy on the part of the police department and the officer on the desk did nothing but follow out the regulations.
 George W. Warner. first selectman also deuied that the cells at the town hall were unclean. He said they are located on the first floor of the building. are lighted by three or four windows and are kept clean. He emphasized that the four steel cages are in building which Ia practically new.

 If Mrs. Hall and her two brothers are acquitted, and if no other evil dence is found to solve the mystery l shall be doomed to a life of cyni- cism concerning justice, for I am convinced that the whole thing could have been cleared up four years ago if the authorities had really wanted to do it.

COURT 0F HONOR
 ESTIMATE SS0,000 Hamlin Says He Has Figures
 From Architect UnkelbaCh CAN BE BUILT, HE SAYS
Alleged Engineering Difficulties Do Not Exist In Fact, Is Claim Made By Champion Of Campaign Against $16O,O00 Shaft.

The memorial arch and court of honor at the entrance to Walnut Hill park can be perpetuated in granite for not r jre than Ss0,000 in the opinion of Max J. Unkelbach, engineer who designed the tempor- Iary memorial.
 This information was made pub lie today by George V. Hamlin spokesman for a group of citizens who are signe:1 of a petition asking the common council to lay out no money on the proposed s160,o0o memorial shaft until an expression of preference can be had from the general public,
 Engineering difficulties which were pointed to by the memorial committee in their claim that 1t Is not possible to make the present memorial permanent, do not exist in fact, Hamlin writes with Engineer Unkelbach as his authority for the statement,
 Hamlins statement follows:-
 Upon further investigation of the present memorial arch and court of honor at Walnut Hill park. I find that the person who worked out the original idea and designed the struc- ture is Max J. Unkelbach, a local architect and civil engineer. Acting on the suggestion Of sev- eral persons, I interviewed him with reference to the practicability and feasibility of duplicating the present layout in granite. and also as to what the probable cost might be.
 "At the time the West Main street sidewalk along Walnut Hill park was lowered {, the street level. J understand the soil was very dtffi- cult to excavate and In fact Is as hard if not harder than any soil to be found in the city.
 ."'Mr. Unkelbach states that the project is entirely practical and feasible, and estimates the cost Of the arch with the twelve accom- panying pillars. together with the tao smaller pillars in the Court of honor at not to exceed sse,ooo, as an outside figure.
 If the majority of the citizens of New Britain. as is my belief. would prefer to have the Memorial Arch and Court of Honor made per manent and fitting memorial, is 1t not worth while to pause moment and reconsider the action already taken by the committee and con- mon council? This in view of the fact that the appropriation already voted is practically twice the cost of perpetuating the Court of Honor,
 Tt has also been suggested that the roadway to the park could be built to the west of the Court of Honor, leaving the present approach for pedestrians only and in this way providing safety and privacy in the Court of Honor.
