were used as decorations at the
head of the great double stairway,
in the Hall of the Americas, where
there was dancing to the music OF
the Marine Band Orchestra, and on
the long tables in the map room.

of guests fingered in the patio,
filled with tropic plants about the
murmuring fountain, or wandered
out on the terrace for a glimpse Of
the Aztec Garden, ravishingly lovely
In the moonlight.

Jr., as the princi pal witnesses for Davey. Both Dixon and Manning blamed Tuska for the accident. Harry D. kauf- man of 691 Pennington avenue, Hartford, an aviator with the British air forces during the late war, said that Simon Davey was negligent in that he made no effort to turn his plane and in that he did not stand up in the craft so that he could see when he was taxing to the field. R. B. Bourne of 221 Oakland terrace, Hartford, who was a passenger in the Tuska plane, stated that he saw the Davey machine and that he sig nailed twice to Tuska He said that the pilot did not see him the first time and that when he did, it was too late.
 Tuska, who formerly lived In Hartford, where he manufactured radio receiving sets, said. T be- lieve that after the accident l said I was sorry and that 1t was all my fault. I had some serious business problems at that time and 1t seem- ed to me better to avoid publicity and accept the blame"

A splendid supporting cast including Robert Edeson, Tyrone Power, Lil- lian Rich and Jean Acker appear in inc film. The co-feature is Horse on Broadway" a decided novelty in screen fare.

 The charter of the new union, which was said to be the first of its kind granted this side of New York, was signed by 65 of the so teachers attending the organization meeting. Ten other signatures were received by proxy, Miss G. Bernice Rogers, president of the new local, said the other fifteen teachers attending the meeting were principals or depart .ment heads ineligible for member ship.
 The meeting was called despite R previous announcement that there would be no attempt to organize the teachers until after d citywide refer endum among the school instructors. It also preceded by six days a sched. uled meeting of the school board at which it was expected that plans would be perfected for the organiza- tion of the teachers advisory coun cil, a substitute for the proposed union.

SLEIGH USED IN FUNERAL
 AS DRIFTS BLOCK ROADS
City Snow Removing Machine Be- comes Stuck in Attempt to
 Open Path for Hearse.

Roads in the neighborhood of the home of the late, Mrs. Mary M Knowles on Fifth street, Seymour Park, were so impossible that a sleigh had to be pressed into serv- ice to carry the caskct from the home to Seymour Park avenue where a hearsc awaited it.
 The funeral was supposed to be held Monday afternoon but the storm made necessary a postpone ment until this afternoon. Efforts on the part of the board of public works to clear the roads with the department machinery failed when the machine itself got stuck in the snow. It was after much difficulty that a sleigh was found, it being procured from a Newington farmer.
 The hearse took the remains from Seymour Park avenue to Erwin chapel where services were conduct ed at o'clock. Burial was in Fair view cemetery.

AIRMEN DISAGREE
 0N CRASH BLAME
Conflicting Testimony in DaVey
 Vs. TuSka S1,500 Suit

Decision was reserved in the ac- tion of Charles G. Davey of 55 Brown street, this city, against Clarence D. Tuska Of Malvern hall, Philadelphia, which was tried be- fore Judge Newell Jennings in the superior court yesterday The suit involved $1,500 damage claim resulting from a collision of air planes at Brainard field, Hartford, on September 13, 1925.
 The Davey plane, piloted by his brother, Simon, collided with the Tuska plane at about noon on the day mentioned, as the plaintiffs machine was making landing and as the defendants craft was talk ing off.
 According to the evidence sub mitted, the Davey plane developed motor trouble, after taking off into the wind from beside the Tuska machine. It returned a short time later from the direction in which it started. and met the Tuska craft head-on as the later was speeding up to take off.
 The defense attorneys argued that Davey had violated the prac- tice of aviators at the field by re- turning to the field with the wind instead of against the wind. The witnesses for Davey contended that Tuska had been negligent in fail ing to observe the approach of the other plane.
 Simon Davey the pilot, said: My exhaust was smoking. I didn't want to take a chance. I cut my plane as much as l could so I wouldn't be in Tuska's way. I ex- pected he would start from the center of the field. The next mo- ment I saw his plane zoom above me and I shut off the switch. There was no time to do any thing"
 T waited for Daveys plane to get mp about 400 feet, and then for the National Guard plane to start" said Tuska. T looked be- hind me to see if there were any ships. There was none and I start ed. When on the ground there Is blind spot in the plane which disappears as plane rises. I looked out the side and could see no planes.
 T took off in the wind. I'm mediately I saw Davey's plane in front of me. There was only one thing to do. l zoomed"
 After that came the crash. Charles Davey testified that the value of his plane was $1,2O0.
