ON THE THIRD page OF yester-
days Herald there appeared an
nouncemeni that contracts had been
awarded for The Herald's new home.
at Thirteenth and Adams streets.
In the opinion Of this column. the
story and the architects sketch Of
the front and side Of the building
should have appeared on the first
page
But the editor who makes up the
paper asserted that since The Herald
had not published pictures Of any
other building on page I, there GER
tainly was no reason why The Her
aid should take advantage Of its
position to do something for itself
that il has not done for any one
else. lie thought that the fact that
this column was permitted on page
] was sufficient
That's one way OF looking at the
matter of course. Still. this column
thinks that it was worthy 81 first
page notice, and Il taking advantage
OF the space allotted to il. to an
nounce that building. This column is
right proud that The Herald is go
ing to have nice, new building.
PERHAPS THAT building and the
machinery that will go into it will
be considerably ahead Of the situa-
tion in Brownsville. but then that
policy of being just bit ahead Of
the situation has been characteris-
tic of The Herald ever since it was
established, thirty-five years ago

dried leaves rustic and listening to
the paws OF the rabbit gentleman as
they hoped toward the field the
ears of corn, hearing all this, said
among themselves:

Ell CENTRO'.S NEW SPORT

tonight the Ell Centre Indoor Baseball League gets
under way.
It's is as yet problematical and undoubtedly
those who of and for it will have more or less diff
flculty before the wrinkles get ironed out and the
league functions efficiently.
Inc name is something OF a mlsnomer, for the game
is played outdoors although under rules governing
indoor baseball To all ntents and purposes it is the
leNl national game slowed down somewhat by
larger bail, smaller ba and shorter distance be-
tween the bases. Aside from these and few other
minor changes it is the healthy sport as the or
igina game from which it is derived.
For several years past there has been considerable
discussion IN FL Centre about the lack of proper
atlonal facilities The indoor league will assist in
remedylng the dearth of sports in which young men
can participate. The games will be played at night
and therefor will not interfere with the private bus
mess of the players.
Use of the Wilson schoolg rounds has been
sanctioned by the school trustees are heartily in
favor of the project. The grounds are in sec
central and the contests will interfere to anv de-
precabe degree with the peace and quiet of the COM
munty.
With the exception of the druggists no person is
making any money from the league. The druggists
profit will from the large amount of arnca and
other lniments they will sell when sore Joints and
muscles affct those who have done very little phys
cal exercising in years Even the sporting goods deal
ers will derive but little gain only limited amount
OF equipment is needed for the indoor game.
AS at present constituted the league has an enroll
ment Theoretically of $50 players. 1t will provide
excellent sport and exercise for these and plenty of
wholesome entertainment for unlimited number of
spectators
No finished exhibitions are expected in fact those
actively connected with the league expect a major
portion of their will come from the errors
thatswill be committed.
No admission will be charged at any of the games,
and the public is cordially invited to show its interest
In providing good clean sport for Ell Centro by turn
ing out to the games III goodly numbers.

Remus, the Cincinnati bootleg king who killed his
wife the other day, reveals curously interesting bent
of mind. Asked Immediately after the shooting wheth-
it worth the trouble it caused him." Remus
replied
Certainly. 1t matter of principle. | am a
man of principle. | never smoked, drank in
my life. | couldn't stand for the sort of thing that
woman had been carrying on.
why didn't | run away? Why should | go about
the country fugitive from justce--a man with
price on my head? If you have clear conscience,
you have nothing TO fear. who feels that he
has performed a duty to society and that he has
mitted no moral wrongs would not away from the
consequences of his act, but would do just what !
have done--give himself up"
This self-righteousness must leave most readers
gasping The who made and sold 800 900 gallons
of whisky and made millions of dollars out of it, de-
flying the laws of his state and country and conducting
business notorious for the robbery murder, perjury
and other crimes associated with it, who has spent
most of his time latterly in Jail for his crimes and
who ends his notorious career by hunting down and
killing his wife in cold blood, uses such language as
the bameless Socrates used before the tribunal that
condemned him to martyrs death.
Remuss conscience may be clear, as he says
There's no accounting for conscences in this queer
age He may regard the bootleg trade vrtuous
philanthropy, and hi-jackers but little lower than
the angels But to call shooting ones wife, whatever
her faults, "a duty to society! We give it up. This
is job for master psychologist.

FRENCH REAL FRIENDS

Those who have returned and are returning from
the Second A. E. F. have only the highest praise for
the hearty welcome given the American Legion in all
parts of France and their reports bear out the wisdom
of the Legion officials in refusing to call off the pro-
posed trip to Paris for the Legons annual convention
Because OF few minor disturbances in France oc-
casoned by the execution in Massachusetts, of couple
OF radical murders it suggested that the Legion
had better call off its plans somewhat strained at
mosphere because of the French debt also point
ed out for abandoning the Paris trip.
But the returning veterans enlphatcay state that
the convention accomplished much good. Just Col
one Lindberg lionzed by the French, and helped
smooth over trying period, too, every American
veteran to the French but another returned hero
and the French went out of their way to show their
friendship.
France and America have had and perhaps always
will have minor differences and what might be termed
strained relations. So too do good many brothers
and sisters who love each other devotedy, have their
spats and their quarres.
The two great sister Republics possess affection
ate friendship for each other that cannot be nufied
by differences of opinion 1t had its birth in the
bIesome days when this country struggling for its
existence, and it has been strengthened by innunler
able ties in the years that have passed
Some day, in the not distant future, Frenchman is
going to succeed in the daring enterprise that
the lives of Nungesscr and Col and when he does this
country will have opportunity to demonstrate that
its love for France is not myth.

 They said plans called for a take off from Langn Field. near Wheel ing. to Roosevelt Field. N. Y., as the first leg of the journey. The select cd course calls for 2,600 miles of overwater flying, bringing the plane over France before it flies over any other part of Europe.

sl95 0F BANK LOOT
 RECOVERED BY BOYS
Mushroom Seekers Find Part Of
 Bandits Money
Special to the Herald)


 Southington, Aug. 22.-Constables Thomas Murphy and G. R. Thomp- son, assisted by Captain James Burke of the Meriden police depart ment Saturday, recovered S195 of the money missing from the Plants vile National bank since the holdup of that institution last June. The money has been identified as part of the loot taken by the men who staged the daring act. Three are awaiting trial in the Hartford coun- ty jail as alleged bandits in connec- tion with the holdup while fourth is being sought.
 Two young men from Southington found the money buried in the woods near Graniss' pond where the bandits were trailed after driving away from the bank. The money was taken from them only after sev- eral hours grilling by the police.
 The youths told the police that they had been searching for mushrooms in the woods when they saw the roll of bills which evidently had been dropped by the bandits after they had divided the loot.
 Constable Thomas Murphy re- ceived information that the mush- room seekers had found some money. He brought them in to headquarters and the pair at first denied that they had any money. After grilling, however, they ad- mitted that they did find some bills and they had split it among theln- selves. The bills were in Plants vile bank notes of s5 denomination, bore the signature of Clarence Cowles. president of the bank. and

 The two youths were not held but were released on their promise that they would take the police to the spot where the money was found. A search was made yesterday morning but it was fruitless. Constable Mur- phy is of the opinion that the roll of money was dropped by one of the bandits when he became hard press cd by the pursuing posse.
 Tho three men arrested as bandits or accomplices are Thomas DeMar co and Albert Meyer of Chicago, H., captured shortly after the holdup and Stuart Florian of Southington. who was implicated by the other two. They are being held under bonds of s50,O00 each and their case will be heard in the September term of the superior court in Hartford.
 A fourth man is being sought and it is thought that he has $1,5oO in his possession. The total amount of money taken from the bank was S4,463.62. DeMarco. when arrest ed, had approximately S1,500 of this on his person. Meyer had $75 and he told the police he buried the remainder in the woods. The po- Ice believe that there is approxi- mately s1.200 still buried there. but no trace has been found of it all though a number of searches have been made.
