POLICE HUNT DOWN
 DEFECTIVE LIGHTS

QUICK REPAIRS ORDERED
Dirty Number Plates, and Absence of Taillights and Windshield Wipcrs to Result in Arrests Next Week, Chief Hart Warns.

The police department last night lights on motor vehicles and fol- lowed it today by a campaign in- tended to compel the equipment of automobiles with proper windshield cleaners and markers that are clean and unobstructed from view. Chief Hart said today that the drive is in the nature of warning at this time, but commencing next week, ar rests will be made and all motorists will be presumed to have been given adequate notice that the cu,lip- lnent on their machines must be in proper condition to pass inspection within the limits of the city of New Britain.
 Patrolmen last ] ight stopped cars having headlights or taillghts not tunctioning properly and gave the drlFers tags requiring them to have the necessary repairs made and re- port at police headquarters not later than today to prove that they had obeycd the warning. The intent of the drive is not to prosecute, Chief Hart said, but the laws relating to motor vehicle equipment will be strictly enforced and it will be the fault of the drivers themselves if they are caught in the net after the warning.
 Today, cars having no windshield cleaners were stopped and the same procedure gone through. Attention was paid to the condition of mark CTS, many of which were found to be so dirty as to be practically invisible while others were battered and twisted to such an extent that they were useless for the purpose for which they are intended, according to the police.
 In "A cases the police found last night that there were defective lights. The great majority of the offending drivers hastened to replace broken bulbs and repair the wiring where necessary but some had not reported today. In the cases of the latter, they will be awaited until q reasonable time today. Chief Hart said, and if they persist in ignoring the warning they will be arrested One woman driver, stopped at 1:15 this morning, pleaded that she was so sleepy she could not go to the police station and the officer al- lowed her sufficient time to have the lights repaired.

It was recalled that the treasury cut in excess of s225, 1000, 900 would endanGCr the governments fiscal re- sources and that President Coolidge had expressed belief that the treas ury figures represented the maxi mum reduction advisable.

 Yes" said Klug.
 Tn what way?"
 John Clippinger, the assistant prosecutor, said to me, You have been boob for George Remus long enough. You couldn't open your mouth down In federal court. Don't be boob for him now or you'll go to prison at Columbus"
 He then said he had been given five minutes to say he had driven Remns to the Pennsylvania station after Mrs. Remus was shot.

 He handed Klub notes purporting to be an account Of the disputed in- terview.

 But didn't you tell me 10 the contrary in an interview we had in the prosecutors office?"
 Then 1t was that Remus objected.

 MT. Epp admitted that the row of the farmer is not an easy one to hoe,
 but added, neither is that of any other industry here. The people who come here to be farmers must have the pioneering instincts of the set tiers, who made agricultural history of the great American desert, who made prosperity from what was known as bleeding Kansas. The profits will not show the first year, they will not be big in five years or perhaps even in ten years, but they will have estab- lished homes, they will have made working base for their children; and
 in the growth of Alaska which will come, they will ultimately come into their own.
 "The spirit of country can never
 be entirely separated from it's people. I have made a great many acqain- tences here; the people are most gen. erous and their actions are whole hearted; the results are friendships and happy memories; but have learned to love Alaska. I have tasted of the fruits of its soil and found them
 nourishing, have breathed the invig-
 orating air at every breath and gaz-
 ed long over the great open spaces and dreamed dreams of land that
 is to be. Yes, I intend to come back some time"
 MT. Epp will remain in Seward for
