Willing to Do What Will Aid His Candidacy Most Says if State Demo- crats Want Another Committeeman It's All Right With Him.

Hartford, April 21 R-"I am for Governor Alfred l.. Smith for presi- dent and l am for whatever will aid him most in Connecticut to bring about his election" declared Thomas J. Spellacy today, when in- terviewed relative to the movement being made to oust him as national committeeman from Connecticut, and which is said also to include a plan to oust from the state central committee Chairman James J. Walsh of Meriden and Secretary Sidney A. Lynch of New Haven.
 T have never requested anyone to vote for me as delegate to the national convention" said MT. Spell lacy. II have never requested any, one to support me for national com mitteeman and if it is desired to have someone else as national con- mitteeman and as delegate, they are perfectly welcome to do so," he con- tinued.
 "If what they want is control of the democratic party in Connecticut. they are welcome to it so far as I am concerned" said MT. Spellacy. For the last 25 years I have been working in the interests of the democratic party and I will continue to do so. Just now I am interested in working for Al Smith for presi- dent and I will support any man think will carry the state of Con- necticut for Smith.
 MT. Spellacy's statement was prompted by rumors of movement for the reorganization of the party in the state with view of having former State Senator Archibald Mc- Neil of Bridgeport as national com mitteeman in place of MT. Spellacy.

HEAVY LOSS WHEN
 PAPER MILL BURNS
S75,O00 to StW,0O0 Damage at
 North WetCheSter Plant
C. H. NORTON, INC., FACTORY
Concern, Located Near Colchester, Manufactured Heavy Cardboard and Wall Board-25 Employees Are Out of Jobs Now.

Norton, Inc. makers of wall- board and heavy cardboard. in North Westchester was burned early today with a loss roughly placed at between $75,0oO and s100,000. A closer estimate depends upon the condition of machinery which was in the building and in the amount of stock destroyed.
 Twenty-Five persons were em- ployed in the plant and they will be deprived of work for the time being.
 Gets Out of Control
 The fire was discovered in the stock room. It got out of control of the company's tiremen, who had bumper and East Hampton and CColchester sent over their com- panies. The fire, however. had at- tained headway beyond the ability of the firemen to save the buildings and annexes. The boiler house and an ell only were saved but em- ployes' houses close by were pro- teCted.
 On Salmon River
 The plant had a two-story main building to which had been built annexes used for finishing. drying and handling of stock. It stands close b ythe railroad station in the center of the village and on the bank of the Salmon river. It had been in operation many years and about IS years ago there was a stock room fire which destroyed the building. When rebuilt 1t was at tached to the main plant
 Plans to Rebuild
 MT. Norton, who established the business 70 years ago. said after the fire that he expected to rebuild. The loss is partly covered by insur- ance.
 After Peter Friez. night watch man. had noticed the blaze he gave an alarm which brought out the 'illasers. ,apd they aided fn fire lighting by means of a bucket bri- gade.

JURY IS CHARGED IN SINCLAIR CASE
Judge Warns Accused Must Be Guilty of Specific 01ense
OTHERWISE HE'S INNOCENT
Justice Explains That Even Though Accused May Have Committed Other Wrongs, One Charged is Only One Before Jury.

Washington, April Fl Rl-As the trial of Harry F. Sinclair reached the jury stage today it drew an un- usually large crowd to the District of Columbia supreme court building to hear Justice Jennings Bailey de- llVer his charge to the jury which will decide the fate Of the lessee of Teapot Dome.
 Two-thirds of the crowd were women, some of whom were on hand an hour before the court was to con- vene. Counsel for both sides said that the outcome of the case de- pended largely upon the judges charge.
 To prevent any attempt at rushing the court room doors. United States lnarshals on guard were doubled to hold in check prospective specta- tors,
 Charge to Jury The justice in his charge told the jury the case had been presented clearly.
 As you perhaps know" he said, under our system the court deter mines what is the law and 1t is your duty to take those instructions re- Sardless of your personal opinion, but you alone decide the facts in the case.
 The burden i'll a criminal case is upon the government to prove every fact beyond a reasonable doubt. A defendant in criminal case is pre- sumed to be innocent until found guilty. The government to prove its case must prove beyond a reason- able doubt.
 "A reasonable doubt, after you've considered all the evidence in the case is that there be no doubt of his guilt" Proof, the justice said, must satisfy each juror that Sinclair was guilty beyond the reasonable doubt. Tt is no matter whether the de- fendant here in your opinion is guilty of any other crime" he said. He is charged with only a certain crime and must be tried upon this charge and this charge alone. Moth. ing else must be considered"
 The substance of all this," the justice said after reading the indict- ment. lis that Fall and Sinclair en- tered into an agreement that Fall would give the lease to Sinclair in consideration for gifts" Justice Bailey said that every agreement was not conspiracy, ex- plaining that conspiracy was an agreement to do something wrong.
 Tt is not necessary to constitute a conspiracy that two or more per- sons enter into agreement in writ ing but it is sufficient that they come into an understanding" he con- tinued.
 Tt is not necessary that you find that the conspiracy was accom- plished. It is only necessary that the government prove one overt act. But no act of Sinclair or Fall shall be considered by you an overt act unless you find it was the result of a previous agreement"
 The case was given to the jury this morning after charge requiring 50 minutes.

 and Hunger NATION FACING CRISIS
teltef and Construction Work Be licved Beyond Resources of Coun- try-Death Toll May Reach 300 Hundreds Injured.

Sofia, Bulgaria. April 21 R- More than 125,0oo homeless families in southeastern Bulgaria today en- dured misery. cold and deprivation in terror as intermittent earth quakes continued to rock the al ready devastated region.
 The government and yolunte, r agencies devoted every effort to tending the more than $50 persons injured in the region around Philip popolis. The utmost was being done to supply refugees with food. The death toll was variously estimated at between 150 and 300 persons.
 Facing Great Problem
 Bulgaria faced a tremendous prob lem in relief and reconstruction. be- yond the resources of the country.
 The valley of roses near Philip popolis was turned into a sandy waste when waters burst through the ground or poured down from the hills. The buds of the roses, which are one of the chief crops of the region and furnished 90 per cent Of the European supply of altar of roses, were almost ready to open when the quake brought disaster. Thousands of rose bushes were ob- liberated in the valley which is one of the beauty spots of Europe.
 Terrible Devastation
 The devastation at Philippopolis, the industrial capital of Bulgaria, alone presented q task of reconstruc- tion which seemed almost hopeless at present. More than a score Of villages scattered through the fer tile countryside around Philippopois in what is Bulgaria's choicest gran ary were in q fearful predicament
 Three-fourths of Philippopolis it. self was destroyed.
 Fearing to return to the cities and villages many families are encampcd about the countryside. sleeping in oxcarts, farm wagons and automo- hiles.
 Fear Food Shortage
 The government, in trying to re- assure the people. has promised that there will be no shortage of food. A bill will be introduced in the chamber of deputies to appropriate i0,000.000 levas for foodst uifs.
 Political Uphcayal
 London, April 21 R)-A Vienna dispatch to the Daily Express today said political upheaval might re- suit from the earthquake which de- vastated southeastern Bulgaria.
 The people of PhilippopoIis, hold the government responsible for the disaster because. for the first time in history, a session of parliament was held at Sofia on Good Friday. The people are convinced that the ca tastrophe was punishment for this impiety.
 Procession of inhabitants passed continuously around the outskirts of the ruined city chanting expiatory psalms and calling upon all to re- bent their sins.
