BRUNSWICK, Ca, July 30.-When

COAST. GUARD AS
 PIRATE OUTFIT
Witness Tells of Sinking Boat,
 Stealing Cargo

New York, Jan. Il P) = How the crew of a coastguard cutter sank rum runner with which it could not do business" and then sold it's seized cargo has been told in federal court.
 Frank J. Stuart, government wit ness in the conspiracy trial of Frank and Edward Costello and 16 others, testified that while com mander of coast guard boat 12o, his men removed the cargo of a captured rum runner "The Dawn" " and then sank the boat by shellfire. The cargo was landed and sold for s3,700, he said, and divided among the crew.
 Stuart also told of accepting a brbe of s2,00O from Philip J. Cof- fey, one of the defendants in the case, for permitting several small liquor laden vessels to run into Fort Pond bay, Long Island, and unload. He said he kept $500 of the money and gave each member of his crew $500.
 Rotten conditions" in the coast guard service were blamed by Stuart for his dereliction from duty. Before taking the witness stand Stuart pleaded guilty to a charge of conspiracy. He is also under indictment for alleged piracy.
 Stuart said he~was courtmar- tialed and sentenced to six months imprisonment for his rum running activities, but that after serving 2S days he was discharged upon the of a telegram signed by Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Andrews.
 After Stuart had testified, Judge Francis A. Winslow on adjourning court for the day, ordered the jury locked up for the balance of the trial. Court attendants said it was the first time in 10 years that federal court jury had been locked up before receiving the case before

[. OF [. REMAINS IN
 FINANCIAL SLOUGH
May Increase Dues to Wipe Out
 Inherited Deficit

An increase in dues totaliins s2,500 for the year, is necessary to keep the Chamber of Commerce functioning this year, according to 0 proposed budget submitted to the board of directors. by the finance committee. Special committees will canvass the members for their vote
 The report was as follows:
 "The secretary has submitted to your committee a proposed budget for the current year. This amounts ] to S9,510 which, in our opinion, is a very minimum amount on which the 1 Chamber of Commerce can continue for this year.
 "The committee also realized thar really. at least another thousand dol lars should be spent, if we are finan- cially able in order to carry on the Chamber to the best advantage.
 At the beginning of this fiscal year, November l, the liability of the Chamber was $7,3S3.33, as shown by the report submitted to us The assets at that time, out side of furniture and fixtures, and amount due on last years dues, were $2,1Sl03, making the net liabilities S5,252.30. Adding to this amount the budget of $9,510 makes a total for the year of s14,762.30.
 "The committee estimates, that during the year, in the ncighborhood of S9,700 can be collected from the dues, of which amount S6,52S had been collected up to December 24. This shows that the current in come will just about equal the cur rent expense, and little or nothing can be paid on the liabilities. Either We must raise a considerable amount from increased dues or new mem- bers, reduce the expense below the minimum amount needed, or end the year in practically the same finan- cial condition that we started.
 Tt seems to the committee that some effort ought to be made to increase the dues by at least enough to clean up half of the deficit of the first of the year. That is, by at least S2,5OO.
 Tn going over the membership list. we find that many of the indus trial members and also many of the mercantile members are paying much less in proportion to the others. We think any increase of dues must come almost entirely from these two classes.
 We do not believe that any large amount can be realized from the dues of last year which are still unpaid.

PAUL E. MOREAU HOME ON VISIT
Shell Shocked Victim Of Arsenal
 Explosion on FurIough

Paul F. Moreau, son of Mrs. Augusta Moreau, who resides with her brother-in-law and wife, Dr. and Mrs. E. T. Fromen, of 323 West Main street arrived in New Britain Saturday night on a 30 days con- bination furlough and sick leave from the |. s. Marine corps.
 Moreau was missing following the explosion of |. S. arsenal in New Jersey last August. After q nation wide search had been instituted he and another Marine were found wandering about the suburbs of To- ledo, O., in a daze, he said. It de- veloped that the men had been swimming when the accident occur red and had been shell shocked. Their minds total blank they fol- lowed instinctively the direction. to- wards the others boys home in To- ledo. They were recognized by rela- tlves of the other man, about 110 miles from the latter's home.
 Both men were taken to the De- troit hospital for several weeks. Lat

GENERAL FUNERAL
 FOR FIRE VICTIMS
Montreal Police Meanwhile Question Theater Owners

Montreal, Que, Jan. II LP - Stunned by the horror of Sundays catastrophe, in which 77 children were crushed to death or asphyxi- ated while trying to escape from the burning Laurier Palace movie theater Montreal is seeking to learn how such tragedy coold have occurred.
 Not more than four or five of the victims should have been admitted to the film show, in the opinion of Coroner McMahon. Provincial law forbids the attendance of a child under 16 at a theater unless &C., companied by an adult. The coroner yesterday adjourned his inquest un- til Thursday after hearing two wit nesses.
 Pending the resumption of the inquest, Ameen Lawand, owner Of the Iaurier Palace, and three of his subordinates are at liberty un- der bail.
 All the dead have been identified, and majority of the 30 injured have recovered sufficiently to be re- moved to their homes' One boy, Louis Philippe Tremblay, 13, is still missing.
 Monsignor Le Pailleur, rector of the Church of the Nativity. who knew most of the little victims, will preside at a general mass for them today. Many of the bodies were taken to the church yesterday.
 The children were of the poorer classes, and celebration of gen. eral mass will save their parents the expense of separate services.
 There is much speculation as to the cause of the fire which started the panic It is generally believed to have been surreptitious cigar cite smoking or to a match dropped in the balcony There are electric wires near where the fire is thought to have begun, but these are en- closed In a conduit, and electrical inspectors cannot trace the flames to that source,
 The ire broke out, detectives say, under a seat in the center of the balcony. The floor was a thin one. they declare, and a cigarette or match would soon start blaze if it fell into a crack.
 odd shoes and torn bits of cloth ing were among the reminders of the fatal stampede found on the stairway leading from the balcony by which the children sought to es- cape.

CT they were removed to a New York hospital where they remained for number of months. The other man developed diphtheria and al most lost his life as result of his illness. Moreau, a short time ago, re- turned to the New York navy yard, where he is assigned to special duty operating motion picture machines. The local marine is reluctant to speak about his experiences. T real ly don't know anything about them. 1 don't remember getting to Toledo, nor do l remember the first few weeks in the hospital" he said. All I know is that even today when l try to think about it, l get dizzy, my head swims and I feel sick. It was d terrible shock. My nerves are all up- set and I feel shaky all the time"
 Moreau is still under the care of the marine corps medical depart ment and there is a possibility that it may be found necessary to dis charge him from the service because of his narrowing experiences and his physical condition.

Before Taking S.S.S|

Pathological laboratories do not
depend upon guess-work. They
have means BY which they can
count the number Of red corpuscles
in a drop Of blood. Every cubic
millimeter Of the normal, healthy
humans blood should contain APP
proximately 100000 red corpus
cles - those tiny red particles
which flow along the blood stream,
giving color to the blood, carrying
nourishment to the cells Of the
body, and working against disease.
Recently, in one Of the PATHOLOGY
cal laboratories of our country, the
skilled scientists made tests to de-
ternaine whether SIS. really does
what its proprietors claim for it;
namely, whether it actually in
creases the number Of red cor
puscles in the blood. They secured
. number of persons in q rundown
condition, examined their blood
and found the red corpuscles count
low. Without letting the patients
know what they were taking, they
put them on a course Of S.S.S., and
made constant new counts to de-
termine the result.
