WOMEN'S WORKING HOUR BILLS FAIL
Senate Also Rejects Meas ure for One Cent Tax

State Capitol, Hartford. March .l LP-The senate rejected the two women's working hour bills today, in concurrence with the house. The bills would have reduced from Jl | to 4S and 49 F the weekly hours of women and girls over 16. The house concurred in the rejection of the bill which provided a commission to in- yestigate conditions among the de- pendent aged poor and to report 10 the 1881 general assembly with re- commentators on old age pensions. Rejected, in the senate. as in the house, was the bill providing a one cent tax on every package of ten cigarettes.
 The proposed pensions for Mar garet T.

 Choice for Post

Boston, March 21 P-The Boston Herald says today in a copyrighted story that it's Washington correspon- dent has learned that Alvan T. Fuller, former governor of Massa : chusetts. has been tentatively picked to succeed Myron T. Herrick as this country's ambassador to France.
 Fuller, long regarded as possible choice for the coveted post. will ar rive in Washington Saturday after noon and, the Herald adds, it is hardly by accident that his arri- val will coincide with that of Henry L. Stimson, the new secretary of state.
 The former governor has been in Palm Beach and is motoring north.
 Now Up to stimson
 Apparently the only question un- settled is whether Stimson will ap- prove Fuller's choice for the Paris post, the story says, but declares that should Stimson fail to, it is consid- cred almost certain that Fuller "otAo b' OAASlSo otil'l Iil4fcl tant embassy as consolation. Fuller is known to have decided leanings toward Paris where he is exceedingly popular through many visits.
 Am bassador Herrick. in common with all other diplomats. has sub mitted his resignation. and it has been reported that President Hoover has decided not to reappoint him be- cause of the envoys known ill health. II is conceded by Herrick's closest friends. the HerJld corres- pondent says, that he is no longer able to stand the vigorous activities of diplomacy while the president is represented as desiring to attem pt the experiment of sending success full business men, rich in political experience, to some of the major European capitals.

CHARTER AMENDMENTS
 MOVE ALONG SLOWLY
Committee on Cities and Burroughs Reaches No
 Conclusion

Hartford. March 21-The New Britain charter amendments are more of a stumbling block to the legislative committee on cities and boroughs that at first anticipated by legislators. Bills which have been given a hearing before the New Britain charter amendments have already been reported and acted upon and Senators K. J. Smith of the cities and boroughs committee stated today that his committee has not finished with the affair.
 It is generally conceded that the nine per cent feature instead of the present 12 per cent for back taxes clause is a stumbling block which proves embarrassing to the com mittee. which is striving in every way possible to back up Senator F.. W. Christ of New Britain. who wants the lower rate.

Mackenzie Comes Back With Half
 Million and Murder Confession

Chicago, March 21 Rl-John Mac kenzie has come back. his tattered grip sack bulging with bonds and mortgages worth s450,000. and with a confession that he killed . man last October.
 Mackenzie said his conscience had troubled him since October 24 when. as he phrased it, he was provoked to the point of shooting Arthur Glanke after long years of wrang- ling, legal and physical. over a spite wall"
 More surprising than his confes- sion was the discovery of his wealth. Always he had lived frugally. He was known as real estate oper- ator. but police had no knowledge that his operations were sufficient to produce nearly a half million dol lars.
 Glanke was slain in front of a West Side Y. W. c. A. after Mac kenzie had made a final appeal to him to remove the spite wall' be- tween their adjoining properties. Prior to that Mackenzie had gone as high as the state supreme court in . vain effort for relief. The two

had brawled frequently on the streets, police recalled.
 A coroner's inquest into Glanke's death blamed Mackenzie. but he had disappeared. He said today that he had been in Aurora and Blue Island. H.. and in Milwaukee. He returned to Chicago. he said. to arrange for the posting of bond after which he planned to give himself up. Po- lice. however, suggested he may have been preparing to turn his se- curities into cash and then to flee.
 Mackenzie. who is 45 years old. said he was in Milwaukee Christmas eve and that he chartered an air plane. with an electric-lighted cross built under it. and had 1t fly over the city as part of the Christmas cele- bration.
 Police found Mackenzie living in a $9 week room. He had a small grip, packed with a scant wardrobe, and the old fashioned. we'll worn telescope crammed with valuable se- curities.
 Glanke. who was 70 years old, named Mackenzie as his assailant. He died after the shooting.

Many personal friends of Tobin were pres ent from this city and he was the center of happy group after the decision was rendered.

Quigley had made numerous complaints against the place and testified that he had seen countless people come out of the place under the influence of liquor. He said that the place undoubtedly sold liquor but when questioned by Judge William F. Mangaa, counsel for Tobin. he ad- mitted that he had never personally seen liquor sold at the place. He ciaimed that Tooin had a number of packages hidden in the bushes at the rear of the roadhouse and that the New Britain man visited the bushes very frequently.

 Value of Production Since "A

by Gorton James, chief of the do mestic commerce division of the de- partment of commerce.

 Wages paid these workers totaled S21, in 1925 as against only s7,354,7s1 in 1914, while the cost of materials entering into manufacture rose from the 1914 level Of sS,3S4,- e42 to SPA, 4,0o2s36.

Dr. Schacht Will Leave for

FIGURE REPRESENTS
 SIZEABLE REDUCTION
Cut of Upwards Of 100000, ,OO0 Gold Marks in Present An. nuities Under Dawes Plan Is Ef- fected-Mccting Of German Lead CTS Will he Held to Consider Ac. ceptance of Proposals.

Paris, March 21 R,-Dr. Hjalmar Schacht, president of the Reichs- bank. will take with him to Berlin tonight, it is learned. the offer of the allied experts on reparations to ac- cept 1,75O.O00,O00 marks (about S420, ,00O,000D as the figure for the German reparation annuities.
 The figure of 1.150, 900. 900 marks is understood to represent reparations payments of all cate gories. This would entail a reduc- ton of the present annuities under the Dawes plan of between seven and eight hundred million.
 Other Conditions Unrevealed
 The allies offer carried with it various other conditions which were not revealed.
 Dr. schacht has given no indica- tion that the German government will accept the allies offer. He has telegraphed Dr. Rudolf Hilferding. minister of finance. to call a meet ing at Berlin of the great provincial industrialists and heads of the Ger man institutions so that he may ex- plain the present situation of the. reparations negotiations.
 The German banker asked this meeting deliberately. 1t was under stood. so that responsibility for ac- ceptance or conditional refusal would be widely shared not only by the government. but by the great leaders of German industry and finance.
 Figures Closely Guarded
 The 1,75O,000,000 marks figures was guarded with the greatest se- crecy; consequently when it was learned there was no attendant ex- planation or comment to indicate the number of annuities. or as gen. erally supposed. it was the first f1g- ure of a schedule of rising annual totals.

An electric japanning kiln in building in the rear of Center and East Main streets and known as the vacuum bottle unit of Landers, Frary & Clark's manufacturing plant exploded shortly before o'clock last evening from causes which had not been determined today. Four persons were injured and the dan- age to the kiln, finished products. paints and the building itself, In- cluding the fire and water damage, will total approximately $l0,v00, ac- cording to the estimate of Chief w. J. Noble of the fire department. Vice President Joseph F. Lamb of Lan- ders, Frary & Clark said today that the damage would not be more than that figure, and probably less.
 Factory Buildings shaken
 The explosion came without warn- ing and blew out the walls of the metal kiln as though they were made of cardboard. Windows went crashing out in tiny bits, the glass clatterng to the ground below as though propelled by the force of cannons and the detonation was clearly heard more than mile away. The various buildings that make up the Landers plant on East Main, Elm, Center and Commercial streets were shaken and number of employees in the office and other units were thrown with great force to the floor.
 At fire headquarters on Commer- cial street, several hundred yards away, the explosion was felt so strongly that Lieutenant Hugh Clark detailed one of the firemen to ln- spect the cellar to determine the possibility of a boiler explosion. A lnotorist had just pulled up in front of the police station and had one foot out of his car when the ex- plosion occurred and he was thrown backwards with such violence that he almost fell to the floor. In the office of the Stanley Rule and Level plant, a piece of re-proofing ma terial was knocked out of the ceiling and struck Merton J. Clark of Ridgewood street on the head. Throughout the business section buildings were jared. and a collapsi- ble sign in front of a store was fold ed like piece of paper.
 Few EmplOyes Near Kiln
 Fortunately. there were com paratively few employees in the room near the kiln. Had anyone been very close to it, there might have been fatalities, for the sides of the kiln came out with great force. Many of the female employees in the build- Ing ended their days work at o'clock. otherwise they would have been in the room. The men whose duty it is to go into the kiln and set the instruments about five min- utes before closing time might have been caught by the explosion had it occurred a short time later.
 Simultaneously with the explosion.
