 ON STOCK DEAL

and, according to her statement to Sergeant McCue. told her she was entitled to 195 shares of Splitdorf Bethlehem Electrical Co. stock at sc3 a share. The company was be- ing reorganized or for some similar reason, according to his alleged representations, the stockholders were to be allowed to buy additional stock at this figure. In the event that she did not wish to take ad- vantage of the offer, she would be required to sign waiver which would prohibit her from making the purchase later.
 Having five shares of stock in the company, Mrs. Hubbard was inter- ested. and Dubrin continued his sa.; ,alk by pointing out that the stock was certain to be worth $30 within 30 days. The rise would give her a profit of $1365. he said. which was certainly we'll worth taking ad- vantage of. He assured her. she said. that ft would be decidedly poor business for her to neglect the op- portunity.
 As the talk continued, Mrs. Hib- bard mentioned her inability to pay for the 195 shares outright as it would involve more than $4,000 Dubrin is said to have told her he would accept collateral if she was in 8 position to post it for thirty days. and at the end of that time he would dispose of the 195 shares of Splitdorf at 33o per share and re- turn her the profit and the collater- al. She Is said to have shown him a list of securities in her name. and he remarked that 16o shares of Landers. Frary & Clark stock would be acceptable security. Fi- nally, she agreed to accompany him to the New Britain Trust company this morning and complete the deal. which meant she would turn over to him approximately $14,000 worth of Landers. Frary & Clark instead of approximately 5000 cash.
 After Dubrin left. Mrs. Hubbard is said to have become suspicious of his offer and brought it to tl1e attention of President F. G. Nib- berts of the New Britain Trust Judge B. r. Gaffney was consulted and later Sergeant Nc Cue was notified and it was decided to look into the entire affair be- fore permitting Mrs. Hubbard to the negotiations.

on the money invested. This is g perfectly legitimate and logical req son. It is the natural thing to do.
 But the tendency today is to SC tho other way. The tendency is to stop business for money on Sunday and put Sunday aside as day of worship.
 T have seen the result in other countries when Sunday is just like any other day. There Is gradual demoralization of the people. If the movies have the right to do business on Sunday then 1t won't be long until other businesses demand the same rights.
 "The fundamental ideals of the country are based on religious con. victions, regardless of what our faith is. If they are, not. there can be but one result-degeneration.
 Religion cannot enter into the same kind of competition that other business must enter into. We don't want any connection between the state and tho church but the state should see that the rights of re- ligious life are protected"
 The minister explained the differ ence between commercialized sports and amateur sports on Sunday. He said he would like to see more municipal golf and tennis ground. and baseball diamonds open to the public on Sunday, but that the law should see that these sports are not held for the purpose of making money.
 He said the movie interests now have six days and seven nights a week and they should have more re- gard for traditions than to ask any thing further. He characterized them as "the interests who want to use the Christian Sunday for the purpose of making money. Sun day" he said ''is day for rest. rec reation and worship. I hope you will see that business stops on that day. One thing that all human kind needs Is a deeper sense of reverence and respect for the Sab bath"
