NEW HAVEN JUDGE
 THRICE ATTACKED
Justice GilSOn Reviews Attempts
 Made on His Life

New Haven. Sept. 15 lP-That three attempts have been made on the life of Probate Judge John L.. Gllson came to light today when the judge. scouting the theory that a drunken man was responsible for
 wrecking his court Tuesday night, declared that the intruder was prob ably some person whom he had ad , judged insane or committed to an asylum.
 Judge Gilson said: Several per sons have threatened 10 get me, and three almost succeeded. Mat thew Phclan who h now in the North Hampton hospital for the in-
 sane, pressed a pistol into my ribs as entered the city hall year ago but friend of mine who was just
 behind me wrested the pistol from Phclan's hands,
 Another man, he said. chased him with an axe in West Haven and
 was cornered by police only after he had frightened every one in the vicinity. On another occasion, said the judge. the city hall was the scene Of another attempted as aault. A man who was under cX- animation attacked him with a
 baseball bat as he left his court room but the mans aim was poor and instead of hitting the judge. he smashed the bat on an iron stan
 chion.
 The judge also declared that there
 are persons in this city at the pres
 as cured from the insane asylum 10
 which he committed them and who
 have declared their intention of
 averaging their supposed wrongs.

 Of the 50 species of trees which have any commercial value he said so per cent of all the lumber made is produced by seven species.
 One thing many men who handle lumber in it's completed stage do not realize, he pointed out. is that of the two kinds of lumber hard and soft. the hardest kind of soft lumber is much harder than the softest kind of hard lumber. and vice versa.
 He described the method of treating soft woods. which, he said. make up n to S0 per cent of all the timber in the country.
 The oldest living organism in the world, Mr. Brown stated, is q tree. He said there are trees in the big tree section of the Pacific coast that are more than 2.00o years old.

Work on the first unit of the build
ings included in the expansion pro
gram Of the Acacia Mutual Life Assoc
citation, whose headquarters are in
Washington, has been started at the
First street and Indiana avenue site,
and rapid progress is being made on
construction of the framework of the
1o-story edifice.

completed. it was announced yestey.
day, and work on the steel construc.
ton IS well under way. The basement
and about one-third Of the first floor
have been finished in this respect. 1t
is planned formally to open the build
ing on April l, 1928.
Elaborate Dedication Planned.
Present plans Of Acacia call for
elaborate dedication ceremonies at
this time. Representatives of the
company from all sections Of the
United States will participate in an
important program, details of which
already are being discussed.
With work on this building now
we'll started. attention is drawn to
the broad program of expansion which
the life insurance association has
under way. 1t is proposed eventually
to construct a group of three. and
perhaps even four buildings which
will adequately take care of the asso-
cations needs for the years to come.
At present occupying quarters on
several floors of the Homer Building,
Thirteenth and F streets, Acacia has
outgroWn many successive Offices dur
ing the more than S3 years presidency
of William Montgomery.
Provide for Development.
It is the plan of the officers of
Acacia that the building program will
be broad enough to allow sufficient
room for the companys future de-
velopment. However. this program
has been made purposely flexible so
that every possible need of the asso-
citation for a considerable period Of
years can be accommodated.
Plans for the first unit of the group,
the one now under construction, call
for the erection Of a 10-story fireproof
structure, with detailed equipment in
the most approved modern office build
ing style. There will be, in addition
to various offices and 'workrooms,"
a large assembly hall. lounges and
recreation rooms. Every possible
step will be taken to insure ideal
working conditions for Acacia en-
ployes.

Restriction of Activity Emphasized

The tendency toward restriction OF

to shut down a week or two weeks
