ACCUSED
 0N MURDER CHARGE
Five Year Old Peonage-Killin6
 Case Is Revived

Monticello, Ga, Feb. Is pN Hulon and Marvin Williams, sought for more than five years on charges of murder, and peonage in connec- tion with a federal investigation of conditions on the Williams farm in 1921, were in jail today. The two brothers surrendered to authorities yesterday. Another brother, Leroy, is under bond awaiting trial in the case and their father, J. S. Williams, is serving a life term in the peni- tentiary.
 The Williams case came into pub lie notice after department of justice agents visited the Jasper county farm in the spring of 1926. The government investigators at that time charged that more than 20 ne- groes on the farm had been killed from time to time and their bodies buried or thrown into Yellow river which flows near the farm.
 When officers discovered II bodies in shallow graves on the farm. Williams and his three sons were in- dicted in the state court for murder and the federal court held them for trial on peonage charges.
 The elder Williams faced trial in the state court and was convicted of the murder charge largely through the testimony of Clyde Manning, a negro farm laborer, who told that he had been forced to aid the farmer in getting rid" of negro plantation workers.
 Manning described how negroes that were to be killed were chained together and thrown into the river despite their shrieks and prayers.
 Williams denied any part in slay- ing the negroes and maintained he was the victim of "a frame up."
 The three sons of the convicted man fled before indictments were re- turned against them. Leroy re- turned three years later and asked an immediate hearing on the murder charge. He was acquitted and later gave bond on the peonage charge.
 Hulon and Marvin Williams are believed to have remained in hiding in Florida since the investigation. No statement has been given by them as to why they returned to face their indictments.

 The past year was one of progress on which Connecticut can felicitate herself, said Wadhams. who is trans portation engineer of the state public utilities commission. It's prosperity was reflected in the growth of the society by 90 members to its present strength of well over GOO.

will not be the Kensington manager this year. If that is 50. then the man who succeeds him will have to do some tall stepping to fill his shoes. One thing is certain and that is, if Pat Buckley does not manage the team this coming season. he'll be called on to do almost as much work as he has been doing.
 A club like Kensington cannot af- ford to allow man like Buckley to stop his work all of a sudden. If he does, what'll we all do for our macaroni?
 However, our informant tells us that Kensington is out to have the strongest possible team this coming summer and that means something. Take kensington, the best sporting town in the state, and when 1t says it's going to have the best team in the state, it means just what it says.
 Answering many inquiries about the condition of Rubenstein, Nation- al Guard basketball star, We have found that he will not be able to enter into the lineup in any of the games this week, but will be avail able in case of absolute need. With Reynolds to fill in at forward, the team is still well fortified with ma tcrial until Rubenstein can return to the game.
 The National Guards play the Elmwood Endees in Elmwood Thurs day night and the Mohawks Satur- day night. Manager Lanpher hasn't filled the date for the 26th vet which was vacated by the Washing lon Palace five. This team found that 1t had a scheduled American league game on for Saturday, Feb ruary 26 and was forced to cancel the New Britain engagement. The seam will appear here on March r instead.
 Tickets for the amateur bouts at the armory Friday night, go on sale today at Bridgett's Smoke Shop on Church street. As there are no re- served seats, it will be the same as before that the first come will be first served.
 The officials of the Mohawk A. C. have arranged to have the results of the Delaney Maloney bout an- shouneed from the ringside at the state armory. The fight at Madison Square Garden will be relayed to the armory round by round. This will serve to give the fans who want to witness the amateur tournament, the results almost as quickly as through other sources.

MANY CHILDREN'S GARMENTS
ARE BEING MADE AT HOME

Women who might be a little
doubtful of their skill in making
their own clothes or those for other
adults in the family nevertheless
make many garments for children.
Some interesting points in this
connection were brought out in the
course of a survey of home sewing
practices carried on by the Bureau
of Home Economics, United States
Department of Agriculture, Among
some 1000 farm women who re-
turned the QUESTIONABLE, approx
mately half reported having no chill
dren under Is years Of age, but
many women said they made gar
ments for children even when there
were none in the family. Mere
speculation might suggest that pos
sibly a number of women get much
enjoyment out of making pleasing
garments for little people, or that
those to whom sewing is a means
of artistic expression finds this an
outlet for energies they hesitate to
apply to adult garments.
The figures brought out by the
survey, however, are confined to the
economic reasons for home sewing
for children. AS the highest percent
ages OF women making each gar
ment are found either in the $1,000
to $1,999 income group or the next
above it, $4,000 to $1,000, it would
seem that considerable savings are
thought possible if the children's
clothes are made at home. 1t must
be borne in mind that many articles
of simple design for children's wear
may be cut from parts of garments
belonging to larger persons, so that
by using her own time and labor to
remodel clothing a mother frequent
ly does away with cash expense for
such garments. The survey showed
that more than rs per cent of the
women were remodeling garments
for some member of the family. No
doubt a large proportion of this is
done for the children.
In all income groups the number
of women making children's clothes
decreases as the size of the COM
munity increases. In other words,
fewer women in cities than in rural
districts sew for their children, per-
haps because a better selection of
clothing is available within the
price range they can meet.
