SLAVE ID DRINK
 S1AR1LES COURT
Penitent DtclarS He Would "As
 Soon Be Dad

"I'd as soon be dead If l cannot stop drinking. I can't % on this way, Your Honor" was the start ling statement of Harry Higgins aged 26. of 74 City avenue. to Judge NJ. D. Sake in police court today. Higgins had left the witness stand where he assumed full responstbil- ity for a fracas at North Main and Beaver streets at 2:s0 this morning. and exonorated William Latham, aged s1. of 5Ss Main street. who was arrested with him. T was drunk. caused all the noise and used the bad language" Higgins said. "The man who was with me was not drunk. He had not had 8 drink all night. He was trying to take me home" Judge Sake dis charged Latham. who admitted having had two drinks of wine. but denied he was intoxicated. He had never been arrested before. he said. and his arrest this morning was the result of his efforts to take Higgins home. the latter having been in no condition to go alone.
 Judge Sake told Higgins he be- lieves he can leave drink alone If he determines to do so and fights hard against the habit. He noticed tha. Higgins had bowed his head tn shame as he stood in the pen, and he told him he gave him credit for his truthful story and wanted to have him take immediate steps to remain out of police court. He tm- posed a suspended jail sentence Of 30 days.
 Officers Anthony rstach and Wli- liam Politis testified that they made the arrests at 2:35 this morning at North Main and Beaver streets. They heard loud and vulgar lan- guage and on tracing it, they found the two men in the gutter fighting each other. They charged each with drunkenness and breach of the peace and assault.
 Latham and Higgins testified that they had spent the night in . local hall. About o'clock Higgins re- marked that he needed "the air" before going home and Latham took him out. intending to walk him about the city for while in an es- fort to have the effects of the drink wear off. Harry wanted to fight, Latham said. He was in that mood last night He started after me and was trying to defend myself and that is how We happened to fall down."

dsnce of guilty. he contended. be- cause 1t was only natural that he should b. in mortal fear" of Ser geant o'Mara, having been arrested only . short time prior to that day.
 Prosecuting Attorney Woods claimed that there was sufficient evi- dence for binding Laskowski over to superior court. He stressed the fact that stolen goods had been found in the young mans room. and in his letter to Sergeant O'Mara. he men, toned the burglary although he had no reason to know he was suspected of any connection with it.
 Relative to the bond. Mir. Woods asked for S1.oOo. Attorney Gaffney said the present bond is $500 and Laskowski had returned to New Brit ain of his own volition. Mir. Woods was agreeable to a $500 bond but Judge Sake said he felt s1,000 should be posted.
 Must Support Child
 William Swanson, aged 24, of 73S East street, pleaded guilty to the charge of non-support and was or dered to pay s5 week to Probation Officer Connolly for the support of his 1-e year old child. The case was continued for three weeks un- der this order. Judge Sake prefer ring not to order a bond posted be- cause Swanson said he did not be- lieve he could raise bond and Judge SaXe wanted him to hold the job he started on last Saturday. Should he fail to make payments during the next three weeks, he will be obliged to post a bond or go to jail.
 Probation Officer Connolly testi- fled that Mir. and Mrs. Swanson do not live together and the child is in a foster home. Mrs. Swanson is en- ployed in hospital in Hartford and receives $50 a week and her board. She wants support for the child only.
 Mrs. Swanson gave similar testi- mony. The cost of boarding the child is s a week, she said.
 
 PrObationer Reports Intoxicated
 Louis Berti. aged 25. of 255 Wash ington street. who is on probation. reported in an intoxicated condition last evening, Probation Officer Con- nolly testified, and fearing he would be unable to reach home safely. MT. Connolly had him locked up.
 Berti expressed regret over the in cident. He started for Hartford to work yesterday but because of the rain he did not go. He met some friends who gave him some drink. Judge Sake continued the case for one month and warned Berti that he must abstain from intoxicants while on probation.

thinks that an air survey OF this dis
trict offers the best prospects of
finding the dirigible since every
archaeological condition seems to
point to the Italia's being north or
her base.
Captain George Vt. wilkins and
Lieutenant Carl 3. Eielson, who flew
from Alaska to Spitzbergcn, volun-
teered their services in the search to
Premier Mussolini Of Italy. They
also participated in conferences
planning expeditions as did other men
with knowledge OF the inhospitable
polar regions, such as Roald Amund-
sen and Captain Otto S~verdrup.
Captain Wilkins believes that the
Italia landed before its fuel was cx-
hausted, General Mobile allowing it
TO drift as a free balloon until 4
landing place was near and then
using the reserve fuel supply 70
bring the drigible to il.
Captain Sverdrup retains the hope
that the Italia is still drifting and
may be saved, while Captain Eiiser-
Larsen believes that the airship was
lost but that the crew may be alive
