CHILD LABOR HIT
 IN MINISTER'S TALK
Rev. ". H. Anderson Opposes Employing IA Year Old Boys
SAYS CITY SHOULD BLUSH
More Children in Factories in New Britain Than Any Other New Eng land City Of Equal Size, He Points Out.

If I were an employer. regard less cs the state law relating to the matter, there would be no place in my factory for 14 year old boy to work. except in special cases where the family needs demanded his earn ings," said Rev. William H. Alder son. before the Mems Bible class at the Y. NJ. C. A. last evening. Mir. Anderson began q series of talks on the parables of Jesus, interpreting the parable of the Good Samaritan last night
 We ought to call Jesus Master, if for no other reason than his ability to tell short stories" he said. They were not only for Jesus day, but be- come the more full of context as civilization has become more con- pleX. Today these stories have a meaning that can be applied to every day living.
 Business Or the Family
 "The trouble is that We are hid ing behind organized charities and eyade our individual responsibilities. The cultivation of the spirit of neighborliness would make this a better world. When I hear a man complain that he does not have time to get acquainted with his family. then I know that he thinks that building up his business is more i'm portant than to take time to build up the character of his boy.
 We don't concern ourselves with conditions that should demand our attention. Safety First is a general welfare policy of many ministers. as well as in q dozen other professions which I could mention.
 Favors Propaganda Campaign
 "We ought to stir up things and spread propaganda against such con- ditions as breed a generation of boys and girls who, because they are en- ployod at fl years of age, go through life half educated.
 According to the United States labor commission report. the city of New Britain heads the list of New England cities where. in proportion to population, more boys and girls of l4 go to work. It ought 10 bring I blush of shame to the civic cheeks Of this city,
 Tt is the business of legislators 10 change the law so as 10 keep children of If in school.
 If our foreign population is the cause of New Britain's place at the head of the list. then the foreigners of our city should be made to know the high standards of living that obtain in America. and should be taught to keep their children in school'

ROW OCCURS AS GOULD HEARING IS STARTED
Senator Walsh Refuses to Act Under Legal Rules
 of Evidence

Washington, Jan. LP--The sen ate's investigation of bribery charges against Senator Gould. re- publican, Maine. got under way with q row at the beginning provoked by the question whether the legal rule Of evidence should apply to the in quirv.
 The committee finally agreed the rule was not applicable to a senate committee hearing but counsel for the Maine senator noted exceptions
 Senator Walsh, democrat. Mon resolution, precipitated the dispute when he offered the Journal of the New Brunswick. Canada, house of assembly, containing an opinion of Judge Mckeown, who held that Sen ator Gould had participated in a $100.00o bribe of a former premier of the province,
 r. w. Hinckley, chief counsel for Gould, objected on the grounds that it was not legal evidence, and Sena- tSl tI4e4 '! 4ISE Itp4D4lNuIlr Ntill- fornia, acting chairman of the com mittee, ruled the objection was well taken as the rights of men have suffered by senate committees not adhering to the rules of law on ad- instability of evidence"
 T don't propose to sit here and have a mans character besmirched by hearsay and scandal" Shortridge added.
 You may quit any time you please, but the technical rules of civ dence do not apply to senate hear ings," reported Walsh. Usually a judge waits to hear arguments be- fore he renders an opinion. l despaired from making any impress sion on the mind of the senator from California, in view from what he said"

RADIO TELEPHONY
 USES NEW CRYSTAL Doesn't 0scillate and Holds
 Wave Length Constant CARRIER BAND NOT USED
Other Than These Improvements, It Is Similar to Ordinary Broad- casting-Rcpresents 50 Years of Human Voice Transmission.

New York, Jan. 2 LP Trans Atlantic radio telephony Is based on the same fundamentals as the broadcasting you pick up on your receiver at home.
 But only certain refinements and improvements make it possible to project the voice across the Atlan- tic.
 The two chief developments, ex- perts say, are development of 6 crystal capable Of holding the transmitter to it's exact wavelength, and the elimination of the carrier wave and one of the side bands used in ordinary broadcasting.
 Piczo Crystal Used
 The Piezo crystal. as it is called. is q bit of quartz ground to speci- fled thinness and shape. Ii holds the wavelength 10 5000 meters in the present case, preventing oscilla tions that would make it difficult, if not impossible, to keep the re- ceiving apparatus tuned to it.
 As for the carrier wave and the two sidebands, these in ordinary broadcasting consume nearly 60 per cent of the energy used. The sidebands carry the actual voice vibrations. The engineers working on the trans Atlantic radiophone have, it is said, worked out a sys- tenn whereby these two parts of the original wave are whittled off the parent wave at the sending station, and the single sideband is sent on it's way carrying the voice.

Change Would Eimi- nate "Kickers" Now in Flock, Sacred Heart Church Pastor Says.
Promoters of Movement Call Meeting to Be Held Monday Night in Hall on Broad Street.

Preliminary steps toward the divi sion of Sacred Heart Roman Cath olic parish into two parishes will b. taken Monday evening at a public meeting which will be held at Rat ner's hall, corner of Broad and Washington streets.
 Announcement of the meeting Was made today by members of Sacred Heart parish who explain the move ment on the ground that accommo- dations in the present parish plant are inadequate to house the 16,00O or more residents of Polish birth or cred Heart church.
 At the meeting, which will open at 7:30 o'clock, petition will be drafted asking Rt. Rev. John J. Mi Ian, bishop of Hartford, to author i2o the establishment of a second parish.
 Would Eliminate "Kickcrs"
 T would be very glad to be the first signer of a petition to organize q new parish among the Poles" Rev. Lucyan Bojnowski, pastor of the Sacred Heart church declared today when informed that such q move mcnt will be gotten under way at a meeting Monday night.
 Father BojnowSki, who presides over the only Polish parish now in existence, explained his willingness to assent by remarking that through such change the "kickers" in his congregation would be eliminated.
 The clergyman, who has been the center of several disagreements among his people in recent weeks will cooperate only on condition that the new. congregation assumes all costs of building and equipping their DGrochial institutions, not calling on the existing church to give none tary aid.
 Calls Accommodations Adequate
 Father Bojnowski disputes the claim that the present church has not adequate accommodations for the parishioners. Three masses are sung each Sunday and while all are we'll attended there has not been call for additional masses, otherwise they could easily be arranged, the pastor assures.
 The clergyman issued statement Hot hp ho 0j.a Sa\-pro1 at rompts in the last 20 years to bring about a division of the parish, the last being about two years ago when ho received the consent of Bishop Milan but found insufficient backing when finances were mentioned. Father Bojnowski had feared the congregation would not remain in a colony in the northwestern section of the city and he urged that new church be built. Several sites were considered. Accompanying his an- rouncement was statement that the new congregation must finance itself, not looking to the existing parish for aid. Only one person indicated a willingness to proceed nnder those conditions, he said to- day.
 The priest would not attempt to forecast what Bishop Nilan's view on the movement at this time might be. admitting of the possibility of change of sentiment in the past two years.
 The Polish people of New Britain will be very hard to suit in the loca- ton of new church," Father Bo1- nowsN predicted today. pointing to the fact that the Polish colony, while still densely populated. embraces only a part of the Polish popula ton, which is now spread throughout the citv

ASSESSMENT BOARD
 CONTINUED INTACT
Charter ReViSers DisapproVe Of
 One Man Commission
PROJECT LACKS SUPPORT
Attorney General Alling and Senator Hall Voice Disapproyal of Change Hinder to Become Chairman of New Commission

The one-man board of assessors plan was formally sidetracked by the charter revision committee last night when that body, with the acquies- cence of Mayor Weld. decided against asking the general assembly to permit abolition Of the present board of three men.
 The administration shift from its original plan to place Thomas Lin- der in sole charge of the department was forecast several days ago by the Herald and came as a surprise to city officials who had regarded the change in system as definitely agreed upon. Mayor Weld alone offered suggestions as to possible changes, while the remainder of the commit tee warned against revamping the assessing system and declared in ia yor of the board Of three members. which is the system in vogue in practically every city and town in the state.
 Linder to Become Chairman.
 As a result of last nights action, MT. Linder, who is now engaged as appraisal engineer, will become chairman of the board, succeeding Frank NJ. Zimmerman. Linder will be under contract as appraisal en- gineer concurrently. The mayor re tains the power to displace him as chairman and i'll the event of such action he reyerts- back to his posi- tion as appraisal engineer, it is eX- plained. That such an evcntuality is farthest from the expectation of the charter rcviscrs was evident last night by their approval Of the plan to place Linder in control.
 The mayor opened discussion of assessing systems by remarking that under the present scheme two part time assessors receive S250 a year and do not come near the office eX- cepting to sign their names to the grand list. He opined that these salaries might be eliminated, as well us the salary of appraisal engineer, and that Mir. Under could be made assessor. This might effect saving and might take the office out of politics, he suggested.
 Alling Objects to One Man
 Some other cities have had their experience with one-man assessors, Attorney General B. ". filling, a member of the committee, remarked with tone of disapproval. Judge Alling then cited two instances in which the one-man board had not
