TO EXTRACT HIS PAY

dren in Woodland st,
Home Scuffle

Mrs. John Bakanis Of "A Woodland
street has a way of her own for COM
Ing into possession OF her husbands
pay envelope. She does not wait for
him to retire and then steal about
and empty his trousers pockets. She
knocks him down with the assistance
OF her children. and it was because
OF this that the police were called in

her husband came home partly in
toxicated. she asked him for some
money and he gave Ter 81. She said
that was not enough and he gave her
81 more. declaring that he was going
to 60 out and get drunk on the bal

and In the scufflc. Bakanis tore his
wife's dress. The dress was an old
one and tore very easily. she told
jude Roche, apparently having
cooled Off considerably since insisting
that Officer Thomas Woods make the
arrest
Judge Roche told Bakanis he
would fare better all around if he
had less love for strong drink. A
continuance for one month in charge
of the probation officer was ordered,
and upon his behavior in the interim
depends the final disposition of the
case.

JOHN Coolidge TO
BE MADE A MA LOR
Expects Appointment to Sia1
Of Governor Tiumbull
MEASURED FOR UNIFORM
Chief Executive Refuses to Deny or
Confirm Report While Presidents
Son Says Legislature Must Ratify
Amendment"
BY Boyd Lewis


Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
New Haven, Conn, Dec. 81 (UP)-
A New Haven railroad clerk will be
known as Major John Coolidge"
after Jan. ., the United Press
learned authoritati,ely today.
John Coolidge, the presidents son,
will be nominated to the staff of
Governor John H. Trumbull, his fu-
,ture father-in-law, when the gen.
eral assembly convenes on that date.
Won't Comment
While the governor refused either
to affirm or deny the intended ap-
pointment. it was definitely learned
here that John expected the honor.
In fact. he has even gone so far as
to be measured for his uniform,
which will be one Of the new blue.
brass-buttoned. fancy-dress affairs
with which the army has recently
been equipped.
News Of Johns expected military
status caused speculation as to
whether his forthcoming marriage
to Miss Florence Trumbull would be
a military affair. with John and the
governors daughter marching away
from the altar beneath the unraised
swords of the II other members of
the gubernatorial staff.
Both Of the engaged parties how
ever. dislike display and have been
quoted as desiring a simple. home
wedding"
Interviewed at his New Haven
railroad office, where he is hum
BILE clerk In the department Of op-
Grating statistics. John hesitated TO
make any statement concerning the
report Of his proposed nomination..
Up to LEGISLATURE
"1 don't e~pect to know definitely
until after Jan. O." John told the
United Press correspondent. "The
legislature has to approve the NOM
ina''on before 1t goes into effect"
1t will not he the first time a
Coolidge has held military title as
member Of the staff of a governor.

president, was Colonel John Cool

Presents Difficulty

London, Dec. 81 R-The ex-
hausted condition In which King
Georges prolonged serious illness
has left him is presenting a difficult
problem to his physicians which
they frankly acknowledge In this
mornings official bulletin.
Five Of the seven principal doc
tors who have been attending His
Majesty signed this mornings report
which was more detailed than re-
Gently and although 1t recorded a
rather disturbed night 1t announced
some improvement in the kings ap-
petite and that he is holding his
own as to general condition.
All five doctors were in Bucking-
ham palace before 10 o'clock this
morning. but the bulletin was not
issued until after 1890 as a long
consultation followed the examina-
tion of His Majesty.
Today was one of the coolest and
most disagrecablc of the winter, but
a large crowd was outside the
palace anxious to learn the news
from the royal bedside.
There was general qualification
among the public that the king had
had no setback and that the bulletin
was not without satisfactory fea-
lures, but public anxiety is bound
to continue while the patient re-
mains in the present state Of ex-
treme weakness.
In palace circles It was indicated
the bulletin was not regarded In
too satisfactory light. 1t was
pointed out. however. that there was
no definite setback and that the
doctors are satisfied with the way
things are going except for the
patients weakness.
There was an expression Of hope
fulness that the increased readiness
Of the king to take nouriehment may
help to remedy this condition which
is felt to be the real crux OF the
whole situation at the present time.
The di"ouiet'rg feature Of the
bulletin WIS the stress laid on Hts
Maiestv's state o. exhaustion which,
az previously indicated and II now
reiterated. u hnff''rg the efforts
which his big -+ofF 81 er,i1 ont med!-
cal attendants are making to over

FROM Il. S. ON FEB. |
Exercises in Auditorium of
Central Junior High
School

The next senior high school grad
uation will be held in the auditorium
of the Central Junior high school
instead Of in the senior high school
auditorium which K being razed in
connection with the construction Of
the addition on Bassett street. It will
be held on Friday evening, February
].
Because of the loss Of the audi
torium and gymnasium the school
administration had been forced to
make several arrangements to care
for the extra-curricular activities.
The class night program will prob
ably be given In the auditorium OF
the Central Junior high school, the
class banquet will probably be held
in the auditorium of the Walnut Hill
schoo, the senior club and the school
orchestra will use the girls gym
nasium in the vocational building,
and the Amphion club will probably
continue presenting its plays in one
of the school auditoriums. probably
the Central Junior high school.
Principal Louis P. Slade who has
permission of Supt. 8. H. Holmes to
make arrangements for the activities
this month. will negotiate with Prin-
cipal w. C. French with a view to
using the Central Junior high school.
Since the new senior high school
addition will not be ready until next
February. at least one other gradu-
alton and possibly two will be held
away from the school.
Mr.. Slade estimates that l25
pupils will be graduated from the
senior high school. This 10 the larg-
est mid-year class ever to be grad
uated and 1t doubles in sixe the first
laid-ysag graduation class Of 1854.
