Through tie Static

Last night was noisy. There was static galore all evening and there were several varieties Of bloopers running wild all along the wave channels throughout the evening. But, friends. there was untold vol ume. That's one consolation.
 The Radio Nature League, from WBZ, continues to appeal to us, and we were highly interested in the topics taken up last evening. Thorn ton W. Burgess spent considerable time in describing g 'freakish" fish caught recently in the Connecticut river. It resembled an eel, a bull frog and a bullhead. all at once and all at the same time. Of somebody pulls that one about the possibility of, its being Lon Clancy, the class will be dismissed at once.) Mir. Bur- gess said that the fish was not a freak, but 1t was of a variety not common to Connecticut waters, hav- ing its habitat in Pennsylvania and New York to great extent. It is known as Mud Puppy" He made an appeal for contributions to the Mississippi Flood Fund. stating that $50 from the treasury of the league will be used for that purpose. He urged members to contribute.

exhausted its last legal recourse be- fore the state courts with the re- fusal of the supreme judicial bench to grant a new trial.
 Signers of the affidavits included George U. Crocker. prominent Bos- ton attorney and former city treas- urer. Robert Benchley. dramatic edi- tor of Life. Elizabeth R. Bernkopf. newspaper reporter. Frank P. Sibley. who covered the trial for the Boston Globe. John Nicholas Beffel. trial re- porter for the Federated Press, and Lois B. Rantoul of Jamaica Plain. who represented the Greater Boston Federation of Churches at the trial.
 The statements were termed by the defense counsel as their best legal trump.
 New Light On Judge
 Benchley deposed that the judge denounced the defendants in terms specifically set forth. The affidavit declared the judge said he would get them good and proper" Touch- ing on alleged pressure on the court. the judge was said to have asserted he would show them and would get those guys hanged" He also would Hike to hang g. few dozen of the radicals"
 Benchley said he believed Goes had declined to make a similar affidavit because he was an old friend of the judge.
 Crocker met Judge Thayer at the University club where both took meals and where the jurist gratui- tously launched into a discussion of his conduct of the case before he (Crocker) was even aware of Thay- CTS identity.
 Later he went so far as to read in advance parts of his charge with re- marks such as. T think that will hold him." referring to contentious of the defense, and finally Crocker had to instruct the headwaiter to see that they were given different tables so as to avoid the 'impropri- ety. of the judges conversation.

DESIGNER OF BOWL
 ID BE REMEMBERED
Memorial Tablet to Be Placed
 at Portal 10

New Haven, May 5 R-A tablet in memory of Charles Addison Ferry, designer of the Yale Bowl. will be dedicated here June 20 next, as part of the exercises of commencement week at Yale university, it was an- nounced today. The tablet will be placed over portal 10 and the dedica- tory exercises will be held about this portal.
 The tablet will be presented to the university by Smith F. Ferguson of New York on behalf of the Yale En- gineering association of which he is president and will be unveiled by Miss Ruth NJ. Ferry daughter of the designer of the Bowl.
 Prof. George H. Nettleton. chair man of the board of control of the Yale Athletic association will accept on behalf of the university. Ely NJ. T. Ryder of New York. chairman of the engineering association commit tee on the memorial. will act as chairman of the occasion.
 The basic idea of the design of tho Yale Bowl. known widely for its explanation of psychological ef- fe0t.vt fss and engineering sim plictty <ud used as g. model for sim liar ~ >2tures, was entirely that of Mir. Ferry. who was resident engi- neer during its construction.
 Graduating from the Sheffield Scientific school in 1871. with the degree of bachelor of philosophy, he entered the office of the city en- gineer of this city and made rapid progress. He later entered private practice and had much to do with planning the details of the water. works systems of New Haven and neighboring cities. He was past president of the Connecticut Society of Civil Engineers.
 In 1891 he received the degree of civil engineer from Yale. In 1916 he presented a paper on "The Yale Bowr' before the American Society of Civil Engineers. He died July 3l, 1924. He was a native of Connecti. cut.

Cnreyealed Episode

Beffel told of 4 heretofore unre- vealed episode which occurred dur ing the trial. Marquis A. Ferrante, Italian consul at Boston. had ap- preached him with a brief statement saying that the Italian authorities were deeply interested in the trial and were confident 1t would be conducted without reference to the admitted radical affiliations of the two defendants.
 Beffel had been asked to make copies for other press representa- tives which he did and after they had been distributed at the Ded- ham Inn, where judge and report CTS customarily lunched. the judge was shown one. Beffel swore that in the presence of all the newspaper men tho jurist showed evident anger. flushed. shook his fist, and shouted as he left the room. You wait till I give my charge. I'll show 'em."
 Withheld by Reporters
 The reporters took counsel among themselves and deciding the matter was controversial decided not to publish it.
 Beffel also testified to differences between the advance copies of the judges charge to the jury which ex- horted the jurymen to seek cour- age" like a soldier on battlefield. and the charge as delivered, which omitted the reference.
 Miss Nernkopf was 6 frequent companion of Judge Thayer on the train from Boston to Dedham and the judge was voluble conversa- tionalist on the subject of the trial. she declared. The topic. like an autographed picture of himself which he gave her, was on his own initiative, and the substance of his remarks was that nobody could put anything over on him."

 Woman's Statement
 Mrs. Rantoul. the other woman deponent, recited two conversations with Judge Thayer. each at his own request.
 The first time he solicited her opinion of 'how the trial was go- ing and what thought of the gov- ernment's case" and expressed evi- dent displeasure when she replied she was not yet convinced of the guilt of either defendant.

Apparently John and Bill Mitchell

Apparently John and Bill Mitchell have concluded their programs. or possibly they were heard from WIZ and not from WBZ. No. we just re- membered that we heard a soprano and tenor duet from WIZ about S:I5 o'clock. 50 the boys must have quit. They were scheduled from both sta tions, but WBZ used talk by Don- aid B. MacMillan. the Arctic explor- CT. He told of the flowers and trees found near the pole, to say nothing of the birds up there. He said that his next polar trip will start about June 2S. He was an excellent talker and WBz reproduced his voice in good shape. WBZ came through, in spite Of the heavy static.
 We received several calls from radio fans in the city, asking where John and Bill Mitchell were last eve- ming. The only answer we could give was that stated above. We were as disappointed as everyone else.
 That saxophone octet. heard from WIZ, is out of sight. You remember, the organization used to play from WEAF and associated stations and now it has jumped to WIZ, making it easier for New Britain fans to hear the music. Well. we've always enjoyed the soft, full music of the saxophone and we probably always will. he said defiantly. sweet and Low" was played in just that man. ner. Nesting Time" in foxtrot tenn DO, was enjoyable, while the quartet of ITO Wild Rose," left nothing to be desired, to wax trite.
 WABC, NMSG, VEAL and XIV came through loud in the course Of the evening.
 WICK, Detroit, was unusually loud. even for that station. The Elks' band was furnishing the program and the soloist, accompanied by the said band, sang Tonight You Belong To Me- and "Moonbeam. Kiss Her For Me-" Then the band played on. Blue Skies"
 WEAF. New York, fairly loud, presented the National Cavaliers male quartet, a worthy organization. with excellent arrangements and de- lightful volume. "On A Night iL June" was the number we heard.
 WRC. Washington. and WLW. Cincinnati, came through well, &C., companied by static. The Night hawks at the latter station provided some steam heated dance music.
 WTAM, Cleveland, was extra loud at times and we heard a program of orchestra and quartet selections. "The Mau Who Owns Broadway" gems from ''The Chocolate Soldier" Alma, Where Do You Live?" and other old musical comedy favorites were played. Then came Q group of old time songs. including Moonlight on The Wabash Yankee Doodle Boy" and others. The program was varied and worth hearing.
 KDKA, WGY and WJR was also represented.
 The week of May brings to the audience of WTIC changed sched- ule. The Hartford station will not lessen the number of hours it broad- casts each week, but during the sum- mer months its silent night will be Saturday night instead of Wednes- day. Some new features appear on the program, foremost of which is the sport review which will be broadcast each Monday evening at 6 o'clock.
 The sports review is a detailed ac- count Of the past week in baseball and other sports and is prepared and broadcast by a member Of the staff of a Hartford newspaper. The stand ings of the various teams in the American, National and Eastern leagues will be told, as well as the

 The plea of the doomed man and the accompanying affidarits and statements of counsel added many more pages to the already volumin- ous literature of the celebrated case which has attracted international in- terest. and was the latest of many such petitic'ls which have called upon the governor to exercise his constitutional privilege of appointing a commission to determine the facts in the case.

 4 Ne~ Method of Relief
 A remarkable baby powder has now been perfected for exactly this type of irritation. Whereas ordinary talcum powders dust off almost as soon as ap- piled. Z.B.T. contains special ingredi- ent which adheres so closely to the skin as to make it almost completely mois- ture-proof. Thus a delicate, protective coating is formed against dangerous acids, irritation and chahng. Yet the powder does not cake, and allows the free, normal flow of precipitation.
 In addition, ZB.T. contains mild anti septic that counteracts the slightest in- lection and soothes the skin back to healthy velvet-like texture.
