PIMPLE ON CHIN FATAL
 TO LOUIS H. PHILLIPS
Former New Britain Mans Ailment Puzzle to
 Specialists

Five operations and the attend ance of some of the leading mem- bers of the medical fraternity in the east failed to save the life of Louis H. Phillips, 54 years old. who died in Stamford hospital yesterday af- ternoon. An infected pimple on his chin spread a poison through his system. meningitis developed and toward the end an abscess on the brain was formed.
 Physicians from Bellevue hospital, New York. and many of the leading physicians went to Stamford to ob- serve the case which is said to be one of the strangest cases with which they have contended. They agreed that the death was caused by septic streptococcus poisoning
 MT. Phillips was born in Bridge port but lived in New Britain for about 10 years until three years ago when he went to Stamford to form the Connecco Roofing Co.,. of which he was the president. While he lived in New Britain he was employed by Rackliffe Brothers Co. and the Rackliffe Oil Co where he was a salesman.
 When the pimple was first devel- oped he did not regard 1t seriously Physicians think that copper might have entered the blood when the pimple was open and that it antag- onized it. For five weeks Mir. Phil lips lay on a hospital bed while all the medical assistance obtainable was called upon. The last operation was performed yesterday.
 MT. Phillips was widely known in this city during the comparatively short time he lived here. He was af- flliated with Harmony lodge. A. F. & A. M; EveryInan's Bible Class and the Odd Fellows of Bridgeport.
 Surviving him are his wife, Mrs. Sally Phillips: four daughters. Mrs. F. W. Phelps, wife of pr. F. w. Phelps of Hartford: Mrs. Henry Hucton of Hartford: Mrs. Frank B. Rackliffe. Jr.. of Maple Hill: and Sally Lou Phillips. Is months old daughter.
 Funeral services will be held Sum- day afternoon at 2 o'clock at the home of Mrs. Rackliffe of a6 Golf street. Maple Hill. Burial will be in Newington cemetery.

The Court of Honor in Walnut Hill park will not be demolished. destroy cd or removed. lt,will be retained as long as possible
 This statement. made today by Park Superintendent Clyde Filing wood will bring cheer to thousands of New Britain people who felt that with the erection of the monument on top of the hill. the city's unique memorial would be destroyed. The statement follows closely that made to the Herald a short time ago by Arthur E.

 Next spring am going to ask for an appropriation to put the Court of Honor into condition. repair 1t where needed and repaint the posts.

CLEANING RACKET
 LEADER IS KILLED.
Chicago Ganesters Pump Bullets
 Into John Clay
SHOT SEATED AT DESK
Bitter Fight Starts in Windy City to Gain Control Of Business Which Is Worth Millions to Victor in Ever Increasing Factional Warfare.

Chicago, Nov. IT Rl-Guns Of the racketeers, mute since they dealt death to Big Tim Murphy in mid summer. pumped eight bullets last night into the body of John G. Clay, boss of the Laundry and Dyehouse Chauffeurs' union.
 Good Target
 Killers neyer had a better target than the 59-year-old man. He was seated at his desk, facing a front window of the unions headquarters on South Ashland avenue. Bathed in the bright light of his office Clay was a perfect mark for the gunmen who crept up on the porch and sent the bullets of a machine gun and a shotgun through the glass.
 The sound of running feet, the roar of a motor. the red tail light of a curtained automobile vanishing down tho street, and the slayers had escaped.
 Seven stewards of the union were in a room adjoining that of Clay's. They ran into the street too late to catch more than a feeting glimpse of the automobile in which the slayers fled.
 Key Position
 Clay according to police investiga- tors. held the key position in the Chicago cleaning and dyeire racket" as 1t is called. He was in . position to have an importan, say in the distribution of business from small tailoring shops to the cleaning esta blishm ents. His or ganization. police said, was the link between the retail Cleaners and Dyers' union and the Chicago Mas ter Cleaners and Dyers' association
 The cleaning racket" is reputed by police and by other Investigating business groups to have taken mil lions of dollars from Chicagoans. The warfare between rival groups seeking to control the business has been marked with many bombs and sluggings.
 The Aolice theory has been that Big Tim Aurphy's assassination N n f1Itributabte to his e1orts to muscle in' on the cleaning and dyeing racket"
 A number of motives for the Clay killing were advanced by detectives today. and one was that it was a re- prisal executed by friends of Big Tim. Another theory was that gangsters from other cities. attracted by what appeared to them to be biz money in the Chicago racket" had killed Clay. inaugurating a cam paign to drive out those now in con- trol.
 Capone Mentioned
 Then there was the mention of Al Capone's name. inevitable when gang guns roar. Capone several months ago became involved in the cleaning and dyeing business. being associated with the Sanitary Clean ing company. organized by Morris Beckner. a wealthy south side busi- ress man. Beckner organized the company. he said. to fight the racket" and his purpose in inter- esting Capone. he explained. was to frighten away any who might at- tempt intimidation by bombs and violence. Capone's name alone,

ELI TEAM IS CRIPPLED
Garvey Will Not Play-Replaced by Butch" Loud-Orange and Black Out for Revenge for Defeat Last Fall.

Princeton, N. J., Nov. 17.-(UP- Yale Blue challenged the Orange and Black of Princeton in colorful pageants of pretty girls. coonskin- clad collegians and hoarse. beaming old grads through the 'hospitable streets of Tigertown today. while the elevens of Captain Max Eddy and Captain Chuck" Howe made ready to resume the football rivalry of the two universities which dates back just 55 years.
 Across the picturesque Princeton shifting groups Haunted the Blue against the Orange and Black. basket parties snatched early lunches or belated breakfasts on the green slopes leading down towards Palmer stadium. and train after train from New York brought thousands to the game.
 Seasons Climax
 Today's game against Yale is the climax of Princeton's season. and the coached by Bill Roper are primed for their greatest effort. What happens against Navy next week will not worry the sons of Old Nassau, if Yale Is beaten.
 It was a crippled but determined Bulldog eleven which arrived here to rest for the battle. Johnny Garvey was not among the prospective backs which Nal Stevens will shoot in against the Tigers. In his place stood Butch Loud. who was assigned to the ball carrying during the famous Eli drives inside and outside tackle.
 The Tigers were slight favorites. Seven to five was offered by some enthusiastic Princetonians. but not by many. Under-dogs have a way of coming to life in startling and devas- tating fashion in these Yale-Prince- ton affairs. The history of the foot ball rivalry of the two schools Is strewn with the wreckage of false hopes raised on the eve of battle.
 Yale's victory last fall, after los- ing Bruce CaldVell, proved a bitter disappointment to the Tigers. and they were out for revenge this after noon. The game starts at 2 ?. m. Eastern Standard time.

New York. Nov. IT R1A mighty torrent of buying and selling orders again poured into the New York Stock Exchange today. but the price movement turned irregular as a result of heavy weekend profit-taking. early gains of s1 to $ a share were offset by losses of similar extent. although the main price tendency was still upward. The opening was not as wild as that in yesterdays recordbreaking session of 6.7l4.400 shares, but there were several blocks of 5000 to l5,00o shares changing hands in early trading.

New York. Nov. II R - The Hoover" bull market had a new mark to shoot at today-an all time record days turnover of 6.714,o00 shares on the stock exchange.
 Last spring a 100000 share market was considered a first page newspaper story. Every full trading day this week but one the market has gone over 5.0oo.0O0 shares. The five days trading also set a new record for that period of time of 27.946.900 shares,
 The record for the last five days follows:
 Monday 5,6'o.eoo
 Tuesday 5,3S7,40o
 Wednesday 5,426.soo
 Thursday 4.747.0oO
 Friday 6,714,0o0
 The strain on the human machine has led to recurring sentiment for holiday for the stock market. similar to that ordered last spring so as to allow the bookkeeping staffs of brokerage houses to catch up with their work.
 Even the mechanical facilities have been swamped. The ticker yes terday was two hours and three minutes behind the market at the close. It is hoped that the high speed printers proposed and the leaving out of sales volume up to 500 share blocks will take care of that end of the situation. But the system is not expected to be put into effect before next fall.
