 SESSIONS OPEN
Eight Indictments Asked-
 Several Are Fined

Hartford. Conn.,, Dec. (P - Judge Edwin s. Thomas presided at the opening of the December term of the federal court here to- day. Eight cases were presented to the grand jury in which indict- ments were sought. Twenty-nine of the 30 jurymen summoned re- sponded to roll call. an unusually large number.
 Rum Runner Fined
 Claude De Roberto, who was presented in court on an order of removal from Providence, R. l., was fined s4oo after pleading guilty to transportation of liquor at Will limantic on April 29. With his brothers Ernest, he was engaged in the transportation of several cans of alcohol, and when federal agents attempted to stop them. it is claim ed Ernest attempted to run them down.
 This resulted in gunfire and Err nest was seriously wounded. Ernest made his getaway, was apprehend- ed In Providence. and Is now serv- ing sentence of six years for an offense in that state. Claude. the man fined today, had previously forfeited bond of s1,0o0.
 Mrs. Yetta Klein, who had re- sided at the old ladies' home. so- called. in Winsted. was fined s15o for possession of liquor on Novem- Der l9.
 She was represented by Attorney Charles Sudarsky. who told the court the woman had been desert cd by her husband two and a half years ago.

MILITARY CONTROL IN
 GERMANY BIG PROBLEM
Investigation by League of Nations is Expected to Accomplish
 Some Results.

Geneva. Switzerland, Dec. : Pl- Solution of the problem of amelior- ating the military control 10 which Germany objects has now reduced itself 10 the question Of how many concessions the German and French statesmen can make without arous- ing such storms of protest as 10 im- peril the existence Of their govern ments.
 Nobody wants to get his hand chopped off at home" remarked one of the big five statesmen today in aluding to the difficulties confront ing them.
 While for Germany permanent military contro. is moral problem and it's continuance a blow 10 the countrys pride, for France it re- mains a question of security.
 One idea discussed by the for cign minister In their conversations, which are held outside the sessions of the League of Nations council. is that the suggested authorization for the league to investigate German armaments would also apply 10 the armaments of other European na- tions, once a scheme of limitation Of arnameRs is achieved.
 Optimism seemed to pervade Dr. Gustav Stresemann, the German for elsn secretary, this morning that Germanys request for the abolition of interall!ed military control and in- vestigation of Germanys armaments by the League Of Nations substituted was nearer realization than ever be- fore.

.SPECULAT0RS NOT EXTENDING MUCH
Few High Priced Industrial Issues in Demand

New York, Dec. 2 P-Stock prices displayed a strong undertone today. but chief speculative activity was again centered in a few high priced industrial issues.
 Trading continued to be largely professional although d growing public interest was reported in issues which hold promise of special divi- dend developments before the end Of the year.
 Relatively firm money rates also tended to restrict trading. President Coolidge's message to congress was favorably received by the financial district. the highest prices Of the day being recorded after it's recommendation became known. Wall street was particularly interested in the tax rebate and con- solidating railroad features. Another flock Of favora ble dividend develop- ments by small industrial companies helped 10 maintain bullish enthu- siasm.
 Sugar shares continued to respond
  to higher commodities prices, South Porto Rican and Maniati preferred leading the advance in that group. Some of the oils also began to show signs of activity and strength, while the motors presented several strong spots with buying influenced by un- confirmed rumors Of alleged agree ments among leading manufacturers not to cut prices at this time.
 International Harvester was bid up over four points to a new record high at 15S 3-S, United States Cast Iron Pipe jumped over points and General Motors. American Zinc pre- terred and Gotham Silk Hosiery sold 3 to points higher. On the other hand, Loose Wiles common and sec ond preferred, which recorded sen sational advances yesterday. broke [ and points. respectively, and weak ness cropped out in Continental Bak- ing A and Warner Pictures. Rails held fairly steady in quiet trading.
