SERVE THREE DAYS
 FOR AUTO THEFTS
St0ckWell and Miller, H. s
 Youths, Given Warning
--- -"- -n.-->

Suspended jail sentences Of six ;nonths were handed down by Judge Booth in superior court late yestcr- day in the cases of Donald Stock well and Burton Miller, 16 year old New Britain youths, who were found guilty Of the charge of taking auto mobiles without permission of the owners. Their arrest in this city hcv- eral weeks ago caused a mild scnsa- ton, as the boys had good reputa- tionS and were not suspected of be- ing implicated in the numerous in stances Of taking cars from the city streets and driving them short dis tanccs before abandoning them.
 Judge William r. Mangan, who defended them. told Judge Booth the new state law which permits the issuance of operators licenses to ap- pllcants lG years and over, acted as an incentive to the boys and in or der to learn 10 drive they fell into the habit of taking cars. They did not etcal or damage thom.
 When the cases came before Judge Booth three days ago he remanded the boys to Hartford county jail. and yesterday he warned them that un- less they conduct themselves proper ly in the future they may expect to spend some time in jail.
 John Sonk of New Britain was fined $20o and costs and sentenced 10 Jail for 50 days for violation Of the liquor law.

EXPLODING SHELLS
 THREATEN DEPOT
Fire Near Ammunition Store. house MenaceS Countryside

Baltimore, Sept. A P) Fire which ragged for more than an hour in an ammunition pit at the Curtis Bay army ordnance depot, several miles from here, threatened for a time tonight to wipe out that dis trict in disaster similar to that at Lake Denmark, N. J. in 1926.
 Shells dumped into a Is foot pit .or salvage purposes were detonated n a series of explosions heard and felt within a radius of a mile. The number of explosions was variousy stimated at from 50 to 100 by resi- lent of the neighborhood. A silent alarm summoned Baltimore fire ap- paratus and Coast Guardsmen also were called upon for aid.
 The fact that the main amuni- ion storehouses, containing hun dreds of thousands of shells and shrapnel and 1000 tons of powder. were situated some distance from The pit, afforded the workers oppor- unity to seal them as soon as the fire was discovered
 When the first explosions oc- cured, alarmed residents Of Curtis Bay hustled what belongings they could take into any available vehicle md started for Baltimore. They returned, however, as the fire was brought under control.
 Washington. Sept. c4 P)-Major Charles A. Harris, Jr.. executive of 1cer of the Ordnance Department was advised about 9:50 D. m to- night that fire and explosion at the army depot at Curtis Bay, near Baltimore, had been brought under control.
 Major Harris, who was in com muncation with the depot, said he vas told a check up of the person. mel so far had disclosed none IS in iured, and that property damage had been slight.
 The explosion was caused by heat from q fire which started on shell loading platform, he said, and be- fore it could be brought undor con- trol about ten siy-inch Stokes mCr- tar shells exploded.
