The articles will con- sist of . variety of reed work such as baskets, serving trays, teastands and the like: also good line of sewed, knitted and crochcted work. There will be home made candy in caramels and chocolates which are made by woman with impaired sight in Stonington. The prices Of these goods are moderate and the workmanship is good.
 These articles are made in the homes of the blind under the in struction of the home teachers of the state board of education of the blind. These teachers are blind themselves and have guides fur nished them for the work. They go to the homes of the blind and teach them to read with their fingers and to make articles such as these. The state collects these articles and sells them and the full price which Is paid for an article is given to the blind person who made it. In this way the blind are enabled to earn something ani to have employment for the hours which otherwise seem tedious.
 The persons who benefit largely from this work are the older pima who are unable to go to an instltu- ton and who have gone beyond their best working years.

Mayor Declares They Would Have Barred Jews, Italians, Irish, Swedes and Poles From Committee.

In the most slashins attack heard ! in the common council chamber in ! many years. Mayor Paonessa last
 night took from the original com- mittee On the World War memorial dedication the credit for success of the day. gave credit to the enlarged committee and directed severe criti-
 cism against Chairman George H. Dyson and Councilman Roger w.
 Whitman. secretary, both of whom
 he frequently mentioned by name. The mayor was angered when Councilman Whitman arose to spon- sor & movement. which proved un- successful. to withhold payment
 from the Savoy band and the Hard- ware City band. because their serv- ices on dedication day were not en- gagged by Mir. Dyson or by Steve Robb. chairman of the music com- mittee.
 Whitman had hardly resumed his seat when the mayor asked and was given the privilege of the floor. This bill should have had the approval of the finance committee" the mayor began. ''The bill for both bands was brought into my office by Councilman Whitman. secretary of the committee. I don't know why it never reached the finance commit tee. MT. Whitman was aware of con- ditions surrounding the bill. and if he was man enough. would get up and speak in favor of payment. It is regrettable that I find 1t necessary to tell you here tonight of the do- ings of the memorial dedication committee, things went so smooth on that day. But I want you to know that this smoothness must not be credited to the committee. If he had his way in making appoint ments to the committee, there would be no dedication!
 "Mr. Dyson was so partial in his appointments, that I dread to expose 1t. He would have appointed a com- mittee composed of one group. ] re- minded him that this is a cosmo- politan city and insisted that all OC ICCO6HlAcu. MI. DySUu had his way and if you had your way. MT. Whitman, there would be no Jews, no Italians, no Irish. no Swedes and no Poles. I asked for full representation and because I did was called 'obstructionist.'
 ''The success of the day was due to the general public. It was not because of Mir. Dyson or MT. Whit man.
 with reference to these bands, I learned that the music committee had gone out of the city to engage bands and had ignored these two. One of these bands was good enough to give us a free concert at the park in September-but you would have a few paltry dollars held from them. am ashamed of you, and MT. Whit man. you ought to be ashamed of yourself"

HUNT KILLER 0F
 NOTED GAMBLER
Police Believe They Definitely
 Know Rothstein'S Slayer

New York, Nov. 2o.-lP(-Police today for the first time since Arnold Rothstein was fatally shot Novem- Der 1 were hunting for definite person as his slayer.
 First Clue
 Mrs. Ruth Reyes, blonde young wife Of a Chicago railroad brake man, provided the police with their first promising clue when she partly identified the photograph of mo- torious gunman as that of man she had seen with George McManus. gambler friend of Rothstein, in a room of the Park Central hotel few hours before Rothstein was shot there.
 Immediately the police of Detroit. St. Louis and Cleveland-known haunts of the suspect-were asked to join in the search.
 Mrs. Reyes, brought from Chicago as a voluntary witness to aid the baffled New York police. readily identified a photograph of Me- NldlltS dS tlldt Ol llIC AhdC oilC AhSt by chance on the third floor of the hotel the day Rothstein was shot. The police previously had referred to this man as Jack" McManus has not been found by the police.
 Lured Into Room
 About four hours before Roth stein was lured into the room occu- pied by McManus she visited Mac" there, was introduced to the suspect and had several drinks, according to her story as told by the police.
 Gunmcn There
 The man she met in the room with Mac" is described by police as a professional gunman and gangster who was wounded less than a year ago in an underworld feud.
 A second gunman, police say. also was present in the room when Roth stein was shot.
 Due to Mrs. Reyes, the police had their first bright day in the investiga- tion. However. a shadow was cast over 1t by Mrs. Ruth B. Pratt, re- publican member of the board of aldermen and recently elected to congress She wrote letter to Gov ernor Smith asking the removal from office of Police Commissioner War rcn, citing the Rothstein case as evidence of "the shameful ineffi- ciency of the police and the de- moralized condition of the depart ment." M
 Common Knowledge
 Tt is 8 matter of common knowledge" she said. that the gangster and the 'racketeer' have migrated to New York in great numbers and are staying with im- punity. Although these notorious criminals must be known to the po- lice, they have been allowed to ply their trades without apparent molestation by the police. What is worse there seems to be no intelli- gent, serious effort made to hold any one of them responsible for their shocking crime"
 Mrs. Pratt listed 25 murders com- mitted in New York since the first of the year which she said are un- solved, and concluded:
 These facts are known, or should be known. to the mayor of New York. For some unknown reason he has failed to take the only action that he should take under the cir cumstances-the removal of his present commissioner and the con- plete reorganization of the police de- partment.''
