Mir Woods i told Judge Roche that he had inves- Ggat"d the case and reliable in formants told him Connors was not driving th" car which struck d truck dflvcll ny John W. Thompson of 2O4 Grove street on Hartford avenue. The charge is of such seriousness and the doubt so grave that Mr. < Woods felt COnnors should not be presented 10 the court. Judge Will
 liam r, Mangau, representing Con- horS, added that he. too. had infor-
 nation relative to the case, and he felt that Mr. Woods was entirely justified in entering a noll".
 Alter court, Mr. Woods said Con nofs had given the name of the man vino Was driving the car at the time ct the collision, and if he is located { he will be presented on the charge e NdlIng SponSibility.

 Arrested After Court session
 Anthony Struzinski, aged 24, Of 16 Elm street. charged with reck- less driving and evading responsi- bility after an accident at the cor ner of Clark and North streets on May %, pleaded not guilty and had his case continued until January 3, on request Of Attorney Albert A. Gre"nbcrg. The attorney wanted q continuance until January 10, but Judge Roche said he would not grant it for longer than two weeks. The attorney said the defense will be that Struzinski was not driving the car that caused the accident, and as witnesses to suhstantiate the claims are in parts unknown. it may take two or three weeks 10 locate them.
 Immediately after court, Chiet Grogan of the West Hartford police department took StruZinski into GUS tody on the charge of speeding. It was learned that Struzinski was in Brantord since May 29, and he said he was not aware that the police were seeking him.

Hartford, May 81 up - Vice
President Walter G.. JCowles Of the

from a trip to the national capital.
THAT he feels certain that Connecti-
cut radio fans need not worry about

that the new assignment will be

Since the assignment of $50 kilo-
cycles 1918 meters wave length to
VITO by the federal radio COM
mission, last week, active efforts to
secure a reassignment to the old
$50 kilocycles 1859 meters have
been made by the management of
! the local station. -
Conferences have been held with
members of the radio commission,
both over long distance telephone
wires and in Washington. The
temporary wave assigned to VITO

cided to postpone the proposed re-

CABINET MAKING
TRADE dies OUT
Fewer Thus Occupied in Spain
Today

Madrid, May 81 (UP)-Good
eastanets; the indispensable accom-
paniment to almost every Spanish
dance, are getting scarce. 1t appears
the national industry OF castanet
making is going through crisis
due chiefly to the lack OF proper
hand labor which has resulted In
paradox: the best castanets are now
made in Germany, by an emigrated
Spaniard.
II would seem simple and easy to
fabricate the pairs of little instru-
ments which for numerous people
have all the same sound. but 1t Is
rot. Castanets can produce any kind
OF expression to suit musical phras-
es If made in the right way and
placed in the hands of players who
know how to use them.
Although some the expensive hol-
low shells are made OF silver or
ivory, accomplished artists generally
prefer those of 'granadillo" cred
ebony) which render the finest ef-
fects However, other hard wood
such as guaiacum. jujube tree, box
and black ebony serve currently too.
For a long time, Seville, the
capital of Andalusia, was the cepter
OF the castanet industry controlled
by renown artisans called ''palil-
leros." Their champion. Francisco
Bonilla. made perfect cast.nets that
nobody ever equalled. Today, there
remains only ono manufacturer OF
castanets in Seville; the "maestros'
are dead and have left few initiated
pupils.
4 set Of Serious castnets fe-
male for the right hand and pro-
ducing the high sounds, male for
the left hand. and giving the low
err sounds, cost In wood, from six
to forty dollars. and in ivory from
sixty to two hundred dollars, both
according to quality and engraving.
In the old days a set Of swapping
"granadil,o" castanets could be pur-
chased for thirty cents.

men DRAWBACKS
At Least That Is What Some
Russians Think

Moscow May 81 (UP)-Three
children for each family. living to
age OF Is years, are necessary to
assure continuance of parental
names and characteristics, the Rus
sian Eugenics Society has an
nounced after thorough survey.
The chances are Overwhelming that
parents with less than three Adde'S
cent children will not succeed in
transmitting their hereditary traits
to the next generation. the Society
found.
Scientists. inventors and others Of
superior intelligence as a rule have
less than three children. the report
disclosed, with the result that ex-
ceptional talents are often lost to
the world in the second generation
because the gifted parents do not
as rule have enough children to
assure the succession Of their char
acteristics.
Prof. Koltzoff, who conducted the
survey for three years. found that
persons Of more than average in
telligence and education do not re-
produce their kind in the usual pro-
portion. The higher the degree Of
education and brain. developm CIT,
he said, the greater Is the tendency
to marry late in life or not at all
and to have few children. The in
heritable features Of highly gifted
parents in this way become wasted.
The survey disclosed that the
wives Of intellectuals are more ex-
acting in their requirements on
their husbands than are the wives
Of less educated men. In the matter
Of money. comforts and spiritual

City Invites Use of

Improvements are being made in

merly known as Buell. street which.
when completed. will open up an
improved cross-town highway which
avoids railroad grade crossings. With
the exception Of short, steep grade
near Glen street the highway will be
an inviting one and will, in the
opinion of City Engineer Joseph D.
Williams. encourage use by traffic
coming from the west and south and
bound for Berlin. By its use traffic
interference in the city will be
eliminated and time saving will be
effected. The highway may be

MR.. MELLON SEEMS TO KNOW

Every once in a while something happens which
indicates that the secretary of the treasury knows
pretty well what he is doing. Last year and the
year before and the year before that Mr.. Mellon
urged reduction of the surtax. Democratic con-
gressmen and some republicans were scandalized.
What Tighten the tax burden of the rich in this
wholesale fashion? SO they joined forces to pre-
vent the lowering of the surtax as much as Mr..
Mellon recommended, but lowered it was until the
maximum now stands at 20 per cent.
And the result? More taxes from the rich than
ever! In 1924 there were seventy-five persons re-
porting net income in excess of S1,000000. In
1925, according to the reports sent in year ago
and now made public, the seventy-five had con-
siderably more than doubled, rising to 207.
Mr.. Mellon had argued that the lowering Of the
surtax would be reflected in larger tax returns,
since money would seek productive investment
instead of tax-exempt securities But the master
financial minds were not to be fooled by such
reasoning. To them it was as plain as the nose
on your face that if you cut tax rate you cut the
tax. How could it be otherwise? They would
neevr have permitted Henry Ford to make the
disastrous mistake Of reducing prices and as a
consequence having to work day and night to turn
out enough automobiles to keep customers quiet.
The public, however, has had demonstration
of the difference between the foresight of Mr..
Mellon and that of his critics. The demonstration
will not be of any particular assistance to oppo-
nents of his financial program-New York Post
The Coconino sun., 1927-08-05

They are cold blooded business men
and are not taking any wild chances
that might result in causing them Sc
rious loss.
The law providing for the issuance
by the governor of emergency proc
lamations making appropriations spe-
officially states that if there is not
sufficient money in the general fund
20 meet the appropriation warrants
shall be issued and registered, but in
no case shall the appropriation be
made if the amount of the emergency
appropriation will cause the state in
debtedness to exceed three hundred
and fifty thousand dollars. 1t is adj
mitted by the administration that the
state is indebted to the highway cred
itors in an aggregate sum totaling
more than five hundred thousand dol
lars, an amount nearly double the debt
limit of the state. Under the cir
cumstances it would appear that this
fact alone makes the emergency proc
lamation illegal.
There can be no question but that
every fair-minded person in the whole
state will commend State Treasurer
Callaghan for the stand he has taken.
