Recover Seized Liquor Through
Local Court

Efram Noveck OF 1913 Hartford

superior court for the return of
three gallons of liquor as the police
court of this city has no jurisdiction
in the matter, Judge NJ. d. SAKE
ruled today. Some time ago. No
week took an appeal from finding
of guilty in police court on the
charge of violation of the liquor law
and the charge was nolled in SUI
perior court. Later, Attorney Mon
roe S. Gordon made an effort to
bring about the return of the liquor
but the question of jurisdiction arose
and Judge SAKE took the matter I'M
der Amusement for a week.
A further postponement occurred
when Attorney Gordon was not in
court the day the decision was to
be made, and Judge Sake continued
it until today. The attorney was not
present but Judge Sake disposed OF
the matter, saying any motion with
/ relation to the liquor must be made
in superior court.

TRADING SUSPENDS
IN STOCK MARKET
Wall Street EndeaYoring to
Catch Up on Records

New York. Nov. "a P)-Tradirs
on the floor of the New York Stock
Exchange was suspended today as
the clerical forces of brokerage
houses attempted to catch up with
the Hoover Market"
The suspension was ordered dur
ing q record breaking day which
saw 6,942,300 shares traded in,
greater by more than 100000 on
any previous day in the Exchanges
history.
The work has been piling up in
ever increasing volume since No
vember 7 and all other departments
of the Stock Exchange were going
at full force today in an effort to
restore the books to some SEM
blance of order.
Although the human machinery
Of the Exchange was expected to
catch up today, there was little hope
that anything further could be done
to speed up the ticker. All sales
volume has been left off the tape
but despite this precaution the tick
er ran almost an hour behind the
market yesterday. The new high
speed printers which have been or
dered will not be ready for opera
ton before next fall
Many brokers saw in todays ac-
ton in suspending trading a prece-
dent which probably will be follow
ed SO long as the market continues
on its present rampage. There also
was movement afoot to reduce the
trading day an hour but majority
of the members OF the Exchange are
said to frown on this proposal. pre-
ferring the Saturday suspensions
when necessary. The trading day
was shortened an hour during one
week last May. but it did not meet
with general approval.
Although the November markets
have exceeded those Of last spring
by hundreds OF thousands OF shares
each day most brokerage houses
said they were In better shape now
than they were then. Their cleri-
cal forces have been expanded since
then and new employees have had q
chance to learn their jobs. Even
SO. many admitted they were almost
hopelessly behind with their work
and doubted If even today's suspen-
sion would give them sufficient time
| to catch up
The sensational increase In trad
ing also attracted greater demand
for seats on the Exchange. A new
! record of $550,000 was esta blished
yesterday on the last Of three seat
sales. 1t was said 100000 later was
bid for seat with no offer.
There was much profit taking yes
terday. which held gains below
those forecast at the opening Of the
market before it ~as known the
/ Saturday suspension had been or
dered. In the first half hour OF
trading there was turnover OF
1.327,2O0 shares, which was at the
rate OF more than 100000 shares
for the day. 1t was the most tur-
bulent buying session ever seen on
the floor old time members said.

any OF the hotels or clubs.
Gov. Fuller was fighting mad
when upon his return to Boston
from a business trip to Detroit. he
learned that Bates had not abided
by the governors ideas as to what
should be done to clear the prison
of threatening conditions.
On Tuesday just before Gov. Full
Ter left for Detroit. he had an audi
ence with Commissioner Bates, who
called at his office to ask the gov
ernor for advice and assistance in
plans to ascertain whether any
weapons were concealed in the state
prison.
Il told him." the governor said
that l would instruct the state po-
lice to assign eight men to the prison
to assist the prison staff in making a
thorough search. At the time the
commissioner remarked that this
method of search might create some
resentment among the prisoners, but
| told him not to pay any attention
TO that but to go right to it,"
When Fuller returned yesterday
afternoon he was asked. incidental
~, II there were anything to be said
about the state prison situation. He
replied that it had been cleared up
but the search of the institute had
been completed without the aid of
f,tN 81
Bates was seen soon after as to
whether he had anything to say re-
garding the completion of the
search. Then it developed that the
search as directed by the governor
had not been made. Bates explain
ed that he had decided not to go
ahead with it as Deputy Warden
James Hogsett. in temporary charge
of the prison, had felt it might Gre
ate a delicate situation.
To say that the governor was
displeased when this was brought to
him is putting it lightly. He reach
ed for the telephone on his desk
and asked that Commissioner Bates
be sent to his office. 1t developed
that Bates was not at the state
house then.
Fuller got in touch with Edward
Bagley, deputy commissioner of cor
rection, and learned that Bates had
departed for New Haven by automc-
bile. He advised Bagley of the direc-
tons he had given to Bates earlier
in the week. He instructed Bagley
to find Bates and have him get il
touch with the governor at his
house. Bqgley confessed he did not
know how to locate Bates, as he had
left no information as to whether
he would so to a hotel in New Ha-
Ven or stay with friends or relations.
THAT search must be carried out
at once" were Fuller's closing words
to Bagley. Bagley called on the
state police to try to help locate
Bates.
: Leaving the telephone, the gov
ernor said, IF the commissioner OF
conditions at the state prison We
will step in and do it for him"
Bates was appointed commission
er of correction by Gov. Coolidge
at the time of the reorganization OF
the Massachusetts state depart
ments nine years ago. Not long age
he was reapponted by Governor
Fuller. after having been allowed to
hold over for some time after the

EXPERT DESCRIBES
lightning FRANKS
Champions Use Of Rods as Means
Of Protecting Property

People who say lightning rods are
useless are mistaken in the opinion
of w. L. Lloyd. Jr. electrical expert
from the high voltage department of
the General Electric Co, who spoke
to the New Britain Electrical club
last evening at the state trade
school.
Mr. Lloyd called attention to the
fact that many people make state
ments that lightning rods have no
value as protective agents. He show
ed by means of charts and steropti-
siderable value.
According to Mr.. Lloyd. if a bolt
Of lightning strikes in proximity to a
lightning rod. it will hit the rod and
be conducted harmlessly into the
earth.
This has been proven by expert
ments which have enabled experts
exact location OF rods in order to
assure safety and protection. In
considering the location of rods the
average height of lightning clouds
and the relative height OF the rod
must be taken into consideration. In
case OF low clouds only small areas
are protected by single rods, while
With higher clouds wider territories
are taken care Of by the same rods.
A rod 100 feet above the ground will
protect an area of ESQ to 800
feet. the speaker explained.
Mr.. Lloyd told of the experiments
In the Pittsfeld laboratories of the
General Electric Co. in creating arti-
fetal lightning. making bolts which
carry as much as three and Il half
million volts. These experiments, ac-
cording to the expert, are to deter
mine the power of nature in a thun-
der storm. He illustrated the IN
creasing power of the lightning
flash by explaining that while a
flash Of one million volts jumped
nine feet. fash of two million volts
jumped 20 feet. On the basis of this
knowledge, he pointed out. experts
are figuring the power of the flashes
In summer showers.
Although man has created light
ming flashes UP to three and a half
million volts. the speaker admitted
that this was weak example of the
tremendous power of natural flash
which equals hundred million
volts. He described the flow of cleo
irons In the electrical flashes, show

As denotlng the lack of tension

afternoon. Word also was passed out
from the palace that his majesty
