New Haven. Sept. 13 (uP)-
Yale's youthful new head football
coach-Mal Stevens-isn't very op-
tlmistic about his teams chances.
Il don't know how we will shape

earnestly in the hope of moulding q

material We have on hand.
ITS going to be q mighty difficult

Stevens, who arrived yesterday to

a tried guard and we'll need all the
experienced men we can find to build
up that line"
Stevens. with but six first-string
men returned. will face severe test
in his first year as successor to Tad
Jones. He will have three weeks in
which to whip together an eleven to
face the University Of Maine Oct. 6.
Yesterday Stevens was busy ar
ranging practice schedules and
training details with Richard w.
Goss of Waterbury. manager of the
squad. Tomorrow night almost 100
candidates for the varsity and fresh
man teams will have dinner with
the coaches at the Y club.
The grim training routine will
start Saturday. There will be two
practice sessions a day. Stevens an

MELLON DECLARES
BUSINESS IS. GOOD
Makes Report to m7o,. "a
Conditions in Coun.. N,
SAYS "SP0TS" ARE BAD
But Taking the Nation as Whole
Everything Is Satisfactory, Secre-
tary OF Treasury Informs Chief
Executive.

Washington. Sept. IS P1Secre-
tary Mellon has given to President
Coolidge a report that business is
in a satisfactory condition and on
a sound basis.
The secretary holds that while
taking the country as whole con-
ditions are good, there are spots"
in the general industry which are
suffering through natural causes.
In the coal industry Mr.. Mellon
holds that economies in the use of
coal and too large number of
mines. were largely responsible for
a slump. but that the slump has
reached its bottom and conditions
will improve from now on.
In the textile industry, the sec
retary holds overstimulation during
the war was causing a reaction. The
industry also. he declares. is feeling
the effect of the manufacture of
artificial fabrics, which to some ex-
the market to the textile manufac-
turers.
There is nothing unfavorable in
prospect for the farmers" the sec
rotary said today. The year 1928
should be a good one for agricul-
ture. OF course there are farmers
who never make a profit and others
who make money every year.
II cannot foresee the effect of
the many economic laws of the
world but at present there is GER
tainly no cause for worry"
Secretary Mellon does not hold
that the high money rate has af-
fected business. He said that busi-
ness men rarely had to pay the peak
prices for money. but generally OBJ
tanned the over counter rate which
is lower.

Police METHODS
Lawyers Barred From Seeing
'ICe-BOx" Clients
OFFICER ON THE STAND
Judge Hears Testimony at Murder
Trial and Remarks That "Situa-
tion in Springfield, Mass, Must
BE Rather Interesting"

Willimantic. Sept. 13 PEAs the
trial of Roland G. Lalone and AL
bert j. Raymond. of Worcester,
Trooper Irving N. Nelson, pro-
gressed today. Judge Edward Yeo-
mans, who presided, made comment
upon the testimony of Lieut.. John
Fleming, of the Springfield police
who had refused counsel permission
to see the defendants after arrest
and until their arraignment in
court.
1t had been brought out in testi-
mony that Fleming had issued the
order which prevented counsel from
seeing the men in their cells
The court remarked: Il did not
suppose that lawyers in any civil
| lized country were barred fom see
| ing their clients. If that is the sit
uation in Springfield it is indeed in
teresting.'
Fleming after giving direct evil
dence was questioned at length by
defense counsel of whom there are
five. He was asked how long the
defendants were under fire of ques-
tons and he said that he had quest
ioned them from p. m. until he
went off duty at midnight.
Men Are Described
He was asked If when the men
were delivered to him by the Wor-
cester police he noticed that the
men had black eyes. whether III
saw marks on Raymond's throat
whether Raymond's jaw was swol.
len, whether one eye was blood
shot. and whether he saw Lalone'$
face was disfigured.
The officer said he saw none OF
these conditions. He was asked if
ne saw Lalone's face was disfisured
the day after arrest and he said he
did not see it.
This was when Laione was ar
raigned in court. He noticed that
Lalone needed a shave.
Otherwise the prisoner was in
GOOD condition. Raymond, he said
appeared to have bloodshot eye.
Mr. Moynihan of counsel asked
1T is true that the marks on the
two men were called to your atten-
ton by counsel?'
No"
How much hammerins did you

noon. and for a time was SO threat
ening that much fire fighting appa-
ratus had to be called.
An early estimate of the loss was
$4,000.
The company's plant was in a two
story brick structure with apex roof
and from 1t rose dense clouds of
black smoke which seen from the
downtown business streets gave ap-
pearance Of q conflagration in the
lumber, railroad and mill section. In
= short while flames shot through
the roof of the building making a
spectacle. However. adjoining build
ings were low In height and the fire
was held to the Atlas plant.
For more than 80 years. the place
had been used for manufacture of
various articles.
The density of the smoke was at
tributed to the burning of timbers
which had been saturated with those
liquids. The fire sarted from explo-
sion In lacquer-thinning tank and
1t spread In several ways, flames
shooting here and there SO quickly
that % girls employed on the Sec
ond floor had narrow escapes from
being singed in making their exit.
None was hurt In the wild scramble
to get outside and none saved cloth
Ing or personal effects.
Wire Breaks
An employee after the fire re-
ported having seen a blaze on an
electric wire close by the tank men,
toned. The wire broke and the end
dropped into the tank. The employe
shouted to William j. Healey. the
assistant superintendent. who ran up
stairs and guided the girls to the exit
in smoke which was then coming up
the stairway.
The intensity of the blaze was due
to burning of quantities OF oils and
materials used in finishing processes.
While some nearby property was
menaced for a time the fire fighters
were able to attack the blaze on all
sides and beat 1t out with 25 lines
Of hose.
