Last Step Taken To
 Restore Paper Mill

Holyokc. Mass, Dec. aS LP) - The last step in the restoration of the American Writing Paper con- pany, long in receivership, to it's original owners took place in the offices here today. when the prop critics, under foreclosure action au- thorized by the United States dis trict court, were sold to John c. Hart and Williston Harrington, rep resenting the original owners, for S1,90o,000. This action was supple mentary to that of yesterday at Windsor Locks, Conn.,. when the properties were sold to Hart and Harrington as representatives of the reorganization committee In connection with today's action Sid ney L. Wilson, receiver and presi- dent, said that he would have an announcement of importance to make tomorrow.
 Yesterdays sale was subject to mortgages held by the Old Colony Trust company of Boston and it was that company's foreclosure sale that took place today.

The heav- fest day on outgoing parcels was De- cember 91. when the parcel post sta- tion dispatched between 4,500 and 5000 packages In the five days there were sent out and received between 60,000 and 100000 parcels. The vol ume of business showed an increase of more than 20 per cent over any preceding year.
 Packing of parcels was somewhat better this year, MT. Grace noted. and today there are only five pack ages left which cannot be delivered. The full Christmas crew worked Monday handling the influx of mail over the weekend.
 Tt was the system, the thought fulness of the postmaster and the way the job was planned" said sev- eral of the men. "Applesauce," said Postmaster H. E. Erwin, when told about it. Tt was simply teamwork. that's all."

 Judge Alfred c. Baldwin said: Tn disposing of case of this character there are several phases that must of necessity be taken Into considera- tion. We must not forget that the general assembly of this state has passed laws with the intention of eradicating just such an evil as this and which evil l am assured has continued over long period of time.
 Engaging men in transactions Of this character Is also a crime. The fact that the accused has pleaded guilty to the charges against him entities him to some consideration. I don't feel. however. despite the fact that there is q certain popular ity to this type of crime, that the court should overlook it's great growth. particularly among the class of people who can Ill afford to pur- chase the tickets issued weekly
 Lewis was fined s100 on each of 15 counts and was sentenced to enc month In jail on each count. Judge Baldwin anouced, however, that the jail sentence was to end after the fourth month and that the remain ing eleven months be suspended.
 Lewis was given until December 31 to arrange his business affairs The case of James P Welch of New Britain on Q similar charge will be taken up tomorrow.

 Another step in the dispute be- tween the society and the priest was reported when in the midst of a meeting in the Sacred Heart hall, Father Bojnowski sent one of his assistant priests to the meeting and ordered the society to put the presi- dent. secretary and treasurer out of office. The reports which the Her aid received also stated that when the society failed to obey his com- mand he ordered the meeting dis banded.

ALLING ID RETIRE
 FROM COURT BENCH
(Continued from First Page)
Became Judge in 1923

From 1910 until 1920, Judge Alling was prosecuting agent of the local police court and from 1921 to 1923 he was assistant judge of the city and police courts. On July 2, 1923, he succeeded Judge klett on the bench. In 1922 he was elected representative to the general assembly and was a member of the judiciary committee. He was re- elected representative and became leader of the house of representa- tives in the session of 1925. As house chairman of the judiciary committee in this session he came into state wide prominence. Be- cause of the illness of the senate chairman, Judge filings duties were greatly increased and he worked necessarily throughout the session.
 Nominated Attorney General
 He won the nomination for at- torney general in the state republi- can convention after his candidacy received 1lth hour support, and he was elected with the balance of the republican ticket in November. In addition to his activity in politics and in the courts, he has served as exalted ruler of New Britain Lodge of Elks and for a short time he was president of the Lions club of this city.
 The only setback he has suffered since he became active in politics was his defeat for mayor by Angelo M. Paonessa In 1924. Against his will, he became a candidate on the republican ticket, and fell short of election by 6S6 votes.

to 4 advance. and provisions varying
from seven cents decline to rise of
five cents.
For at least the time being, no SELL
ing pressure was apparent today. This
situation contrasted sharply with yes
terday. Considerable anxiety in some
quarters was evident to get wheat the
delivery of which outstanding Decem-
Der contracts called for. According to
current gossip the majority of traders
expect December wheat prices to be
erratic tomorrow, the last day for De-
cember deliveries.
A fair export demand today for
wheat from the United States and
Canada helped at times to strengthen
values. Kansas City sales of hard
winter wheat to be shipped to Europe
by way of the Gulf of Mexico attract
ed special notice.
Oats were chiefly governed by the
course of other grain.
In the hoge values. the provision
market was easier.
