GIRLS JAW FRACTURED
i'm MILFORD Pike CRASH
Five New Britain Resi-
dents Involved in
Collision

New Haven, July 81 R-As the
result of a crash between two au-
tomobiles on the Milford turnpike
shortly after midnight today, Miss
Alice johnson, aged Il. of 81 Pleas
and street, New Britain, suffered
fracture of the jaw and is receiving
treatment at New Haven hospital.
Constable James Fl. Beede of
Orange, who investigated the crash,
places the blame on Philip H. Reilly,
aged 40, of Sos Chapel street, New
Haven, driver of the car which
crashed into the one in which Miss
johnson and four other New Britain
people were riding. The others in
the New Britain car were Lillian
Johnson, aged 90, of % Seymour
avenue; Mildred Bush. Esther
Swanson, aged 20 and Julius Preis-
ser, aged 80, of 81 Belden street.
Reilly was accompanied by Thomas
Whelan, 40, of 391 Temple street,
this city.
The local party was returning
from Silver Beach, Milford when
the accident occurred, about a mile
and quarter west of the Orange
West Haven line nearly opposite
Planners lunchroom and gasoline
station shortly after midnight.
Preisser was driving in an easterly
direction when the other car sud-
denly cut out from behind a car
going west. and crashed head-on
into the local mans car. Preisser
did not have a possible chance of
avoiding the accident and it is con-
sidered extremely fortunate that ia
talities did not result.
According to Constable Beede.
Reilly was under the influence of
liquor and was also driving reck-
lossly, having no right on the left
side of the highway. In the opinion
o fthe constable. the accident would
not have happened had Reilly con-
tinued on the right side as Preisser
was driving at a moderate rate of
speed and was exercising due care.
Immediately after the crash, Con-
stable Beede, who was in the vicin-
ity watching for trucks with i'm
proper taillights. summoned am
balances from New Haven hospital.
4 surgeon rendered first aid to the
injured and the Misses johnson,

 VARIETY AT LIBERTY;
 IS WONDERFUL FILM

It's a long cry from such plays as Ben Hur" and "Scaramouche" to Ramon Novarros latest characteriza- ton One is the type of mighty dra- ma in which physical action rules the other no less mighty-but based on mental rather than physical forces.
 This is Lovers" Metro-Goldwyn- Mayors sensational new story of mod ern Spain shown tonight at the Lib erty-a vivid drama in which the yil- Han is an army-an army of the whis- pering tongues of slander.
 Novarro plays young playwright, innocently involved, thru islander he is unable to trace or combat, in a scandal with the wife of his best friend.
 It is a dramatic situation as power full as tho it required armies to DOT tray on the screen; it IS one of the most sensational dramas of today.
 The stars characterization is re- markable. As the young artist, cop ing against the enormous odds of the unsen enemy, he rises to the heights of acting genius. The duel scene, the only physical clash in the remark able play, is superbly done. Novarro is a magnificent swordsman, as is John Milan, and the scene will long rank as among the greatest duels of the screen.
 Alice Terry plays the heroine. Her beauty is secondary to wonderful gift of acting, and the difficult role ot the slandered wife is new triumph.

Will Put Island in Com nunication With
All Parts ofsthe World Through R. G.. A.
PTO. RICO CHOSEN AS CENTRAL
Expect New Station Ready in two
Months: New Short Wave
To Be Used.

A high powered, commercial, radio sta
ton, providing fast communication with
all parts of the world. is expected to be
in operation here within two months.
according to announcement yesterday
by Arthur A. Isbell, assistant traffic man
ager of the Radio Corporation Of Ameri-
ca.
After a careful inspection of all the
islands of the West Indies" Isbell said,
I'VE decided Porto Rico, because Of its
central location, and because it is United
States territory, is the best possible site
for the new station"
The new station is to be located in the
Ochoa building. Three antenna masts
are to be erected on the roof, and the
San Juan office Of the Radio Corporation
with be established in the same building.
Messages will be picked up here by ca.
BILE, wireless. telegraph, and telephone,
and reIayed to the central station of the
Radio Corporation in New York, from
which they will be dispatched for their
intended destination via other stations of
the Radio Corporation which reach, with
their connecting cable aid telegraph lines,
virtually all parts of the world.
The transmitter is to be of the new ul-
ira short wave length type, operating on
a wave length Of 20 meters. with 20 kilO-
watt power. This stype, perfected only
, 1927-04-13

in the last six months, has been found to
operate almost perfectly through the sta
tic conditions that made it nearly impOs-
sible to transmit efficiently in tropic
zones with the old, long wave length sys-
TEN. Recent experiments between New
York and Buenos Aires have demonstrate
ed that a Is meter equipment would
transmit clearly where a wave length OF
20, 900 meters, formerly used. was i'm.
practical.
The Radio Corporation was organized
at the request Of the United States gov
eminent to combat the British monopoly
of radio facilities In the United States
during the war. 1t was incorporated as
a subsidiary of the General Electric Co.
In 1919 it bought the American Marconl
Co., which was controlled by British in
terests and was at that time the largest
commercial radio concern in the country.
The Corporation now has high power
sending and receiving stations IN the Uni
ted States, two in South America, eight
in Europe, in Hawaii, the Philippines, in
Japan, China, French IDdo China, and
the Malay peninsula.
Isbell visited San Juan last September
as part of his general tour in search OF a
site for a central commercial wireless
station in the Caribbean. He was accom-
panied at that time by one of the techni-
cal staff of the corporation.
He has been here about two weeks on
the present visit, but made no announce
ment of the purpose of his visit until a
site was definitely secured, and arrange
ments were finally completed.
The perfection of the new short wave
type of transmitter makes the installa-
ton of easier and less expensive, lsbell
says. He expects that the new station
will cooperate closely with the lnsuIar

NEW YORK, Feb. 1.-Four
American League clubs were in the
chase after the contract of iris
Speaker, former manager of the
Cleveland Indians, and only two
clubs have shown interest in the
contract of Cobb, once the greatest
drawing card in baseball.
Before announcing he had agreed
to sign with Washington, Speaker.
in conference with Miller Huggins,
manager of the New York Yankees,
said he had received offers from
the Washington and Philadelphia
clubs and another club that he did
not mention.
Cobb. on the other hand, was said
to have heard only from the St.
Louis Browns and Philadelphia Ath-
letics.
The situation caused baseball 10

wildered

Yankees would go after Cobb now

offer, Higgins refused to answer.

In the meantime, "Silk" O'Loueh.

with Fielder Jones to President
johnson, expressing the belief that
Jones should be suspended. 1t
seems johnson agreed with him.
Package and Wire
AS the express man presented
Comiskey with the bass all nicely
packed in ice, telegraph messen-
ger handed him a wire announcing
the suspension of Jones.
Comiskey was furious, as the sus.
pension came on the day of very
important series. He looked at the
fish, then telegram, and vice versa.
He finally cooled down to the point
where he was able to dictate a wire
to Johnson which read something
like this:
Fish received, also Jones' sus-
pension. Thanks. Sorry. Impos-
Sible to play the fish In center
field"
That wire served to open a breach
that for some years caused a deep
friendship to turn to bitter enmity.
The breach finally was patched up.
Jack Quinn Case
Then, just when it seemed as If
Damon and Pythias were hitting on
all six again, another unfortunate
episode developed that killed for all
time the kindly feeling of the two
men for each other and ultimately
brought about the end Of Johnson's
career in baseball. We must go back
to the days of the World War for

In need of pitchers, COmiskey

Coast League finish the season
with Chicago. Quinn, then a vet

Chicago made a deal for Quinn,
only to discover that the New York
Yankees insisted on a prior claim.
Comiskey wanted Quinn badly. The
case was carried to the national
commission. Johnson, with the
other two members, voting that
Quinn belonged to New York.
Renews "War"
It is said Comiskey raved and
ranted for days, declared renewal
of his bitter feud with Johnson,
and said he never would be salts

baseball.
Since that time Comiskey has
been an arch enemy of Johnson in
