PLOT TO MURDER
 HIGH OFFICIALS
Terrorist Letter UnCoVerS Killing Plans in Juee.SlaYia

Belgrade, Jugoslavia. July 16 R, All Jugo SlaNia statesmen were marked for death by Macedonian revolutionists according to a letter found on Momcilo 1yanow, a young Bulgarian member of the Comitjad who last Friday mortally wounded JlvoJin Lazitch, chief of state po- lice here. Ivanow turned his wea- pon upon himself and is now hover- ing between life and death.
 The police assert that the plot mentioned in the letter had wide ramitications. They found traces of it in Sofia, capitol of Bulgaria. Js- kub, Serbia and Zagreb, traditional capitol of Croatia. The letter was written in Bulgarian and signed in the name of Gregor Milchinow, who is described as a noted Macedonian terrorist. The missive ordered Ivan ow to proceed to Belgrade and kill NJ. Lazitch, and it added:
 "The severe oppression of our brethren in Macedonia by the Ser bian oligarchy must be avenged. Every Jugoslav statesman must die. We must show the world that Macedonians do not fear death and that they can go to the scaffold with a smile on their lips"
 The government has offered re- ward of 100000 dinars tabout s1S,- U00) for the capture of Gregor Mil chinow, dead or alive. There have been several other arrests of Comit- jadis in Zangreb and in this city.

Electric Power Gains
 69 Per Cent in ' Years

l Boston, July IS UP)-Three in- dications of growth-electric power production. population. and bank clsarings-were cited by the Boston Chamber of Commerce today in a report designed to show the general progress made by New England in recent years.
 In seven years, electric power, the barometer of manufacturing activ- ity, has increased 69 per cent in
 New England. according to the chambers statistics.
 Population figures showed an in- crease of lamost 9 per cent for the seven-year period. The chamber pointed to the fact that while this was not rapid increase, it repre- sented a steady and healthy growth.
 That New England's place in the financial world is advancing is clear ly demonstrated by the trend of bank clearings in the past seven years" the report said. "The volume of money cleared has grown from $l7.S4o, 100000 in 1921 to $3O,359,- 100000 last year, an increase of 75 per cent"
 The report concluded that the three indexes mentioned denote the favorable position which New Eng land holds and point to a future of continued progress.

ERR|NG HUSBANDS BROUGHT TO BOOK
Warned by Judge to Behave or
 Expect Punishment

Three cases of marital disagree mont were before Judge M. D. saxe in police court today, and in each instance a suspended fine was or dered. with warning that the err ing husbands must behave or accept severe punishment on their next conviction.
 Louis Zdanuck, aged 40, of g Pennington avenue, denied that he kicked his wife but admitted haN- ing seized her by the arm as a remonstrance against her failure to prepare his meals and also in pro- test against the rapidity with which his home brew has been disappear ing. He accused his wife of having affection for him only insofar as his money Is concerned, and there would be no trouble at home, he declared, if she would fulfill her marital ob- ligations instead of sending him away hungry day after day.
 Mrs. Zdanuck. however testified that she is submitted to a beating practically every month and on Sat urday her husband kicked her in the side. She called the police and Officer Patrick Meehan made the arrest. Judge Saxe imposed fine of s15 and costs, suspending execu- tion of the sentence, and placing Zdanuck in charge Of the probation officer. There are three children in the family.
 Louis Raczkowski. aged 25, Of 1os Fremont street. who was arrested Saturday forenoon by Officer Han ford Dart on complaint of Mrs. Kaczkowski. was fined $10 and costs on the charge of breach of the peace. execution of the penalty sus- pended. Mrs. RaczkoWski testified that she came to New Britain from Brooklyn, N. Y., about three weeks ago to join her husband. and Satur- day he ordered her and her seven years old daughter out of the made complaint to the police. She said she realized since Saturday that she was probably too nasty.
 Raczkowski told an entirely diff ferent story, however. His wife in- sisted on leaving the house and he locked the door to keep her in, still she obtained a master key and started to use it. He made every effort 10 keep her at home but she insisted on going out. so he stepped aside and let her go.
 Frank Gray. aged 45. Of BIO Main street, charged with breach of the peace, was fined s15 and costs, execution of the penalty suspended. and Judge Sake ordered him to stay away from his wife's home on Grove Hill as she stated she did not want him there. According to the testi- mony of Mrs. Gray. her husband called yesterday forenoon and en- tered through a window when she did not open the door. He abused her verbally and used improper lan- guage towards her. she said. Last fall he was ordered not to go to her home. by Judge Roche, but he has disobeyed and annoyed her several times. she said.
 Gray. who was represented by At torney Maurice Rosenberg. testified that the reason he went to Grove Hill was that he had seen his wife going 10 church with a man and he considered it improper for her to do so, whether she lives with her hus-

 "Shush.' whispered Emily quick ly. Here comes old Gallop."
 Miss Fenton, Mr. Ralph Armi- tage wishes to see you in his office" !" said Miss Gallop.
 Lynda looked up quickly, but the face of the office superintendent told her nothing.
 Tremblingly she tapped at the door of her employer Ofle III.
 As it happened, although Ralph Armitage had been back in the of flee for some days, she caught her first glimpse of him as she opened the door to his private office. So this is the young boss" she said to herself. He was called this by all the employees among them selves, 10 distinguish him from his father, who in reality ran the busi- ness. Ralph had just lately come into the office to learn it. She had good chance to observe him, as she hesitated just inside the door. but he did not look up from what he seemed to be doing.
 You wished to see me, MT. Armi- tage? ?"
 Sit down, Miss Fenton. I do want to see you.'
 Lynda took a chair at the other side of the splendidly carved desk, and then, with what courage she could command, raised her eyes to Ralph Armitage's face. She saw d man with rather light brown hair, a Somber mouth. and gray eyes, in which either sadness or boredom lurked. Which it was she could not tell.
 The only thing she could read was that he was not happy. Under his silent scrutiny she blushed scarlet. and the sensitive mouth trembled. Ralph Armitase leaned further forward over his desk, and ghost of smile touched his thin Iips. (TO BE CONTINUED)

was a dreary prospect from his
viewpoint as grave digger in the
JuareZ municipal cemetery, across
the boundary line here, so Thomas
Navarro, ~, shot himself.
Navarro had been digging in
the bleak poverty stricken Juarez
graveyard for nine years. His oft
traced beat had been from the
gruesome hut, where foul-play vic
TINS are held overnight. to the
patched. cracked mounds from
which weather beaten crosses hold
watch.
As he bent over the graves, the
laughter of dance hall girls and
the gay music of tin pan phono-
graphs came floating to him from;
the zone of tolerance, which ad-
joins the graveyard.
Depression preyed upon the man
as he worked among the dead
within sight Of the bright lights.
So he went to the zone of toler-
ance. watched the girls do the
fandango. ordered a glass OF te-
quila. and there in the splendor
of the gay life. he shot himself.
