 Disturbance at Home.

A local man, pronounced in need of treatment for mental trouble after an examination today by Dr. C.. W. Dunn and pr. G. II. Dalton. admitted to Sergeant P. J. O'Mara before being taken 10 the state hos pital at Norwich, that he rang q false alarm last night from Box 433 at Fremont and North streets.
 Sergeant O'Mara learned that off ccr William Cronin had stopped the man as he ran through Spring street last night, and sent him 10 the police station because he was acting queer ly. Later he was sent home but caused a commotion and was taken 10 the Town Home by the public welfare authorities, pending todays examination and commitment.
 Captain Edward Woods of Co.

ACTION FINALLY POSTPONED
Lads Who Killed Ansonia Child Be fore Milford Town Court-Dis- position of Youngsters Pcrplcxes Judge, He Admits.

Milford, Oct. 2S Lm-Postponc- ment of action for 50 days was an nounCcd in town court today in the ease of the two young Mullgan brOthcrs-John and James [ of Watcrbury-who confessed to slay- ing three year old Albert Mikenas of Ansonia.
 Judge Robert C. Stoddard who an- nounced the postponement said the Yale Institute of Human Relations had been invited to study the case. The decision to defer action was made after a closed conference.
 Judge Stoddard, saying he was finding difficulty in deciding what to do with the boys, called the confer cncc with Prosecutor Omah w. Platt, David r.. Fitzgerald, Jr., of New Haven, attorney for the young Mulligans, and the three county commissioners.
 It was understood the plan of placing the boys with two different famllies-so as to separate them N"H i''iilS NpllSINtItu. JhuBt olDI- dard had before him today the re port of the Yale clinic. which ex- amincd the boys shortly after their arrest on October II.
 It was said this report indicated the boys to have been normal and that acts that took place at the time they stiflcd young Albert to death in marshland near Myrtle beach on June 20, were committed out of imitation rather than from innate impulse.
 Tho three country commissioners were called into the case because of the fact that the boys were wards of the county having been inmates of the New Haven county home at Allingtown before and after the crime. At the time they were liy- ing with Mrs. Elizabeth Schread at Prospect beach.

 HEART IS MISSING
Robert the Bruce's Desire Before Death Thwarted
 Again

London, Oct. 2S R}-Tho heart of Robert Bruce, the great Scottish chicftain, is missing.
 Eight years ago the caskct be licVcd 10 contain BruCc's heart was taken from excavations at Mclrosc Abbey and given over for safe keeping to the public works de- partment at Edinburgh.
 It was intended eventually to comply with the chicftain's dying request that it be conveyed to the Holy Land. But in some way it now has been mislaid or purloincd, and it appears that Bruce, dead, may be no more successful than Bruce living, in the holy pilgrim age.
 Robert the Bruce died just GOO years ago at Cardross, after win ming Scottish independence from England in the battle of Bannock- burn on June 24. 1914, and con- tirming his own right to the title of Scottish king.
 He was unable personally to full fill a VOW to visit the holy scpul- chre and requested his faithful fol- lower, Sir James Douglas, to carry his heart there.
 Sir James pcrishcd on the way 10 battles against the Moors in Spain. Sir William Keith recovered the heart of Bruce and found its resting place at Mclrost where it remained through the centuries.

Washington Bureau, x. B. Heraldl
 Washington, oct. 2S-SubmisSion by the CaraWay committee of it's special report on the Bingham Eyan- son intrigue whereby q paid lobbyist Of the Manufacturers Association of Connecticut was given ertrec to the secret sessions in which the senate finance committee agreed on tariff rates, has brought the United States senate face to face with a perpleN- ing question. II is a question which many senators privately admit is dis quieting and few senators will dis Cuss publicly.
 Shall the senate discipline Senator Hiram Bingham of Connecticut If it is decided that discipline is war rantcd, what form shall it be? Believe "Somc:hing Should Be Done Investigation clearly indicates that senators generally feel that Senator Bingham, first in hiring Charles l.. EyanSon. assistant 10 the president O. the Manufacturers Association of
 
 Bingham's personal adviser on tariff matters, and second, in having him placed on the government payroll Is clerk to the committee on territories and insular possessions. has done such violence to senatorial proce- dCre that something should be done about it. What to do is the more difficult in determining because about nine out of every ter senators believe that Senator Bingham's mo- tivcS were proper and honest, how ever improper his methods and how ever dishonest was the effect of the intrigue.

 Washington, Oct 2S LP)-Scnator Reed, republican, Pennsylvania, re itcratcd in the senate today that he saw no hope of the house and sen ate reaching an agreement on the tariff bill at this session and in his opinion, the measure was "dead".
 Calling attention 10 the success of the coalition of democrats and western republicans in placing the export debcnture plan in the bill and also of revising the flexible provisions, Reed said it was evident that a majority Of the senate was opposed to d majority of the house on those propositions and that a hopeless deadlock was in sight.
 Would Stick to Position
 Even though he was opposed 10 both actions, he asserted, if he were chosen conferce he would insist the scnatc's position on both unless the senate instructed the confcrc"S otherwise
 Reeds statement was prompted by demand from Senator Johnson, republican, California, that those in charge of the tariff bill tell the sen ate 'Whcrc we are at on this qucs- tion."
 Johnson said he had head news paper accounts that the coalition was attempting to write the measure in accordance with the views of President Hoover and only yestcr- day read a statement by Reed in Philadelphia that the bill was dead.
 We ought 10 be advised Wheth- CT the president stands for this bin as reported by the finance commit tee or is desirous Of what the coal ition is attempting to do with it," the Californian asserted.
