INSURANCE MEN IN HOT REPLY TODAY

 'In attempting to defend his in- surance scheme. Mr. Day now states through the pre0, that it was not his contention that the city should cancel insurance on all the school bulldings, but that only the fire-re- sistive buildings be excluded
 Tn his frantic effort to justify himself he apparently overlooked statements made by himself and published in the New Britain Her aid under date of June 11th, 1927. at which time he recommended to tho school committee without quali- Acation or reservation that they carry their own insurance. At that time he aise stated as follows: It is . hundred to one chance that we will suffer . t1o.ooo loss on any school building This statement of ceurse. needs no comment.

 "In connection with tAsse re- quirements 1t is our understanding that . standard suppiy Of ! 1-s sal- lon chemical sxtinguishera bearing the label of the UndeFwritsfr La- boratorieA Inc. will bs installed throughout these buildings.

 You will note that the propod- tion which we have submitted above does not include the Monroe St. school, which is now abandoned and also does not include tho old Lincoln St. school, which we understand Is being removed.
 If sprinkiers are installed in ac- cordance with these suggestiona the rate will be reduced to Sc per year, or 200 on three year policies. mak- ing net cost on three year con- tracts of 6 3-sc per day.
 We have been unable to get . definite quotation for the cost of the suggested sprinkler installation but in our opinion this would cost somewhere between 3175.00o and $200,000.
 The agents in New Britain wish to so on record as recommending the preceding proposition.
 Rates Without Sprinklers
 ''If. in your opinion. the saving iR premium does not justify the ex- pense of the installation we are very pleased to advise that we have se- cured tentative rates for the tnsur. ance on the unsprinklered basis. which will be promulgated inamedi- ately. These rates arc as follows!

 Rome, Jan. 9 (AP)-The eternal city today entertained an oriental queen upon whose unveiled face Ro- mans gazed in defiance of eastern traditions.
 Soon after the arrival here of Ann andullah Khan, cmir of Afghanistan, and his queen, she appeared with barred face before the Quirinal palace in response to the cheers of vast crowd. The queen was revealed as . tall, ivory skinned beauty. She wore a smart black European dress and carried a great bouquet of red roses, presented her by the royal well coming party at the station. Those who welcomed the eastern potentate included the king and queen of Italy, Crown Prince Humbert and Premier Mussolini.
 During the journey here on the Steamship Rajputna both the queen and other women in the party ap- peared unveiled.
 It took l8O trunks to bring the clothes the women of the party con- slider necessary for the European tour.
 The arrival of the en,ir was marred by the collision of two planes of his aerial escort. One pilot was killed.

In the Stuck Market
lBy Thomson & McKinnonl

NEW YORK, April 28.-Develop-
ments during the week have justi-
fed the optimism of traders III rail-
road securities for with the agree
ment reached by the executive
heads Of the various eastern trunk
lines a great forward step has been
taken which should eventually re-
move much of the opposition and
delayed sanction from official
quarters. 1t is quite possible that
bullish sentiment displayed in the
market valuation of the western
roads will spread itself to other
sections and in the securities of
those carries which will be bene-
fitted by consolidation. Another
factor to consider is the optimistic
outlook for generally improved bust
ness conditions and the decrease of
unemployment. With these points
in mind it is reasonable to expect
that current unsatisfactory reports
of car loadings will cease shortly
and rails as a whole will begin re-
porting net earnings comparing
favorably with their best years.
However we can still see the adj
visibility of proflt-taking from
time to time so as to be in position
of safety should developments ap-
pear because of the credit situation.
