GETS
TREATY ROW

The next move in the Franco.
American tariff controversy was
placed squarely up to President
Coolidge today.
Rejection by France of Washing
toms proposal for a commercial
treaty on most-favored-nation
basis left only two courses open
to the Government. The negotia-
tions could be brought to an end,
thus leaving American shippers and
manufacturers virtually out In the
cold as far as the French market
is concerned: or the President could
fire the opening shot In the ex.
pected tariff war by bringing sec
ton 3i7 OF the tariff Nv into play
Section 317 gives the President
the right to increase by so per
cent the duties on goods received
from any country which discrimi-
mates against American goods. II
the discrimination continues, the
President can put down a complete
embargo on the goods Of the Of
Tending country.
Meanwhile. with Secretary KEEL

Secretary Castle was framing this
country's reply to the French re-
lection.
The answer. which Is expected to
go forward before the end of the
week. will be brief and to the point
1t will state without qualification
that the Fordney-McCumber tariff
act makes 1t Impossible for the
United States to negotiate a com
mercial treaty on any hut a most

duires that all countries be treated
alike. thereby preventing a special
arrangement with France that
would give that country preferential,

 LaudatOry.

Los Angeles, Jan. 2s LN - The
 home of Lita Grey Chaplin today remained under the watchful eyes of Beverly Hills police as the result of threats made against the film com- edian's wife and babies. Last night detectives were station- ed in the neighborhood of the resi- dence recently rented by Mrs. Chap lin when she left the home of her grandparents.

 The letters, some of them bearing |scrawled and almost illegible warn- |ings of death to Mrs. Chaplin and abduction of the two children If she did not drop her suit, came from various parts of the country. The majority of them were anonym ous.
 One of them, typewriter and post llldI hcQ lOllhSIS, IN. 1os

NOTICE TO PUBLIC

In reading the New Britain Her- aid Thursday evening I noticed an article regarding the garbage situ- ation in this city which is matter of great importance in town of any size especially in warm weather. There is one and only one way to eliminate this nuisance to each and every family and that is to install a Pyrofuse Incinerator which in thir- ty minutes will cremate without odor by a connection arranged with a gas burner and is inexpensive as it only takes about forty cents worth of gas per month. This ma- chine comes in four sizes, half bushel, one bushel, two bushel and four bushel. The four bushel is de- signed for apartment houses and public buildings. The other three sizes are for residential places. They will last for years and l might say for lifetime as there is nothing to wear out. I have one of these machines at Claude J. Leroux plumbing store. 174 Arch street, on exhibition if interested and I know you will be when you inspect it.
 Respectfully yours,
 E. P. LAMPHIER. Agent.

PARSONS'S. HARTFORD

Every life is more or less the pro- duct of environment. Moulded by the conditions in which we live, we form our own ideas und philosophy. Just so did Cynthia Pemberton, fas- cinating heroine of Sinner the new play by Thompson Buchanan which Richard Herndon (by arrange ment with w. Herbert Adams) will present at Parsons's theater next Monday, Tuesday and twice on We'd nesday. In her own home she knew her father to be faithless to her motheA, Among her friends she saw romance crushed out of life by the routine of matrimony. Having acquired wives she saw men get the idea they possessed them body and soul. So Cynthia deciled she would protect her first great love forever and forever by refusing to subpect it to the trials of matrimony. And thus became the lovely, earnest, honest Sinner, heroine of the new comedy by that title. She will be played by Claiborne Foster. who won every heart last year In her charming performance in the title part of "The Patsy" Allan Dinehart will play the man she loves.

JACK HOLT AT RlALTO THEATER

A swift, exciting Zane Grey romance will head the program at the Rialto theater tomorrow evening when this popular authors "For- lorn River" with Jack Holt in the major role comes to this section or New Britain. The story recreates one of the most colorful and violent periods in the building of the west, that rip-roaring era when the Ia" abiding minority clashed with the forces of outlawry in a desperate struggle. Those were the days when a quick trigger and a fast horse were a mans best friends. There IS no other author who can write as Grey does about his beloved west, and in "Forlorn River" he has fairly outdone himself. Holt has the pie turesque part of a "good-bad man who turns against his rustler pals to save a girl. If one is looking for real adventure he should not miss this photoplay. Arlette Marshall plays the part of the heroine to per lection. A detective story called Out of the Storm" as well as short CT subjects will also be shown. The two features which will close their engagement at this theater this eve ming are "The Dark Angel" a grip bring postwar comedy drama with Ronald Colman and Wilma Banky, the Hungarian beauty in the leading roles, and Texas Terror fast ac- ton drama starring Al Hoxie. An other chapter of the serial as well as a comedy and news reel Will also be shown.

CALL 'TAY PAY ID
 GLADSTONE TRIAL
Irish Nationalist Will Be Wit-
 ness in Noted Libel Suit

London, Jan. 2s RHLively testi- mony is looked for next week with the resumption of the Gladstone i trial. for among those expected to take the stand is T. P. O'Connor. veteran Irish nationalist. whose gift of sparkling humor has never failed him in the many years he has been a public figure.
 The father of the house of con- mons" as he is known, became member of the commons in 1880. He was closely associated with the late William E. Gladstone, the emil nent British statesman, whose 72 year old son. Vincent Gladstone, is being sued for libel by Captain Peter E. Wright. "Tay Pay" has postponed a trip abroad 50 as to be on call should his testimony be ask ed for.
 The suit grew out of a book writ ten by Captain Wright, Portraits and Criticisms" in which the moral character of the elder Gladstone is assailed. Viscount Gladstone resent cd the charges made against his father and denounced the author as ia liar. coward and fool"
 Another witness whose testimony is eagerly awaited is Frank Froest, who resigned as head of Scotland Yard in 1912 after filling the post for 34 years, during which time he is supposed to have learned many secrets of the private and political life of prominent personages. The disclosures" in Captain Wrights book date back to the eighties-nine- ties period. about the time when Gladstone was serving his last terms in the premiership.
 Before the case was adjourned yesterday to be resumed on Tues- day, Captain Wright, cross examined mercilessly by counsel for the de- fense, withdrew his intimations that the elder Gladstone had an illegiu- mate son. He insisted, however. that the statesman was an "arch hum- bug" and said that the "astonishing thing about Gladstone" was that The had these affairs between seventy and eighty" The latter statement was made when counsel reminded the author that Gladstone's alleged intrigue with Brassine, noted French actress of the time, occurred when he was 72 years of age.

The performance was held up for some reason or other and the program didn't get under way until about 1 1 o'clock. We wish to hand it to MT. Cross, however. He covered himself with glory. He told all he knew about the opera, which was considerable, and then he talked of the cast, the theater, the taking of pictures, the scenery and many other things. It's no cinch to try to kill time for half an hour be- fore the microphone. It's necessary to keep talking, and when an an- nouncer can do that steadily, it's q sure test of his worth. We didn't finger for the opera.

 That's all for today, thanks!

 The big production The Fire Brigade" comes to the Capitol soon as one of the really and truly big photoplay productions of the year.

It is now on Broadway for the past two months, breaking all house records and at prices ranging to S2.oo.
