New York Lawyer to Preside at
 Sesqui-Centennial

Colebrook, Aug. 15-Robert Kel- ley Prentice, senior member of the law firm of Prentice & Townsend of New York, who has had a summer home in Colebrook for about 20 years, has been chosen to preside at the sesqui- exercises at Colebrook Saturday afternoon, Aug. 31. Wyllys P. Smith of Colebrook has been appointed marshal of the day with powers to appoint his own assistants.
 One of the early industries of Colebrook was the chair shop at Robertsvile which was named for the Roberts family who made the chairs there. They conducted a wood turning mill on Still river where there was a valuable water power near the close of the 18th century and soon began making chairs. John Roberts native of Colebrook was manufacturing chairs long before Lambert Hitchcock started his fla nous chair shop in Riverton in 1918.
 Samuel inherited the business from his father with whom he had been associated and in 1888 formed a partnership with Rufus Holmes of Colebrook, who put in some much needed capital (s1,0o0) under the name of Holmes & Roberts. Rufus Holmes was grandfather of F. R.. and R. W. Holmes of Winsted and lived at South Side district in Cole brook near Wyndecrest farm. After

 AFTER SEEING JAIL
Geek Decides He Will Not Stay
 as County Guest

A short ride to Hartford under the care of Officers Kiely and Liebler cost Martain Geek. 40, Middletown farmer, exactly s3.25. Martain was going to jail. Yesterday morning he had been found guilty of driving his small, broken down truck on the streets of New Britain while it had defective brakes.
 "Ten dollars and costs" Judge Stanley J. Traceski had said. CzeCk stood on the witness stand, mutely appealing to the court. The court was adamant.
 Cant pay the fine. judge. Cant pay. Crops bad, No money. Cant pay."Then he was led to the prison- CTS pen at the rear of the court room.
 Somehow his story had touched police officers. After telephone con- versations with authorities at Mid dletown, Captain George Kelly and Sergeant Patrick J. O'Mara arrang- ed probation for the man so that he could go back to his Middletown farm and pay the fine when he had the money.
 To Czeck, this was not so appeal ing. He chose the alternative. He would go to jail
 Wednesday afternoon, under the custody of Officers kiely and Lieb- Ter, bronzed and beaten, started for Jail, All the way to Hartford he be- moaned his fate.
 But when they arrived at Hart ford jail, Czek had q sudden change of heart. He inspected the jail, It was not to his liking. Digging down into a hidden pocket of his clothes, he produced money. He would pay his fine after all.
 First he tried to give kiely the money, but the officer would not take it. Instead he paid an atten- dant at the jail paid him S2115- his fine, costs and transportation. He came back to New Britain and went to his Middletown farm.

The owners were proprietors of large general store in Winsted and did business with people in all the sur- towns. Residents of Rob- ertsville who worked at making chairs took part of their pay In groceries and other merchandise. The Union Chair company made many kinds of wooden chairs for 32 years, 1850 to 1882. including Boston rockers and baby Boston rockers. William Raidart was foreman of the factory. The mill did thriving bus mess from 1870 for several years. It was sold in 1882 to A. l.. Rapp X Sons of New York for s7,400

 Halts in Address
 "A great deal of unjust criticism of Bishop Cannon" MT. High said, has been coming from the vets in order to divert the issue-".
 A jeering cry from the audience interrupted him. In a moment cry was taken up by others until it ap- peared that the greater part of the audience was given vent to feeling of disapproval MT High turned to others matters in his address when he started speaking again.
 MT. High was defending prohibit tion, engaging in quasi debate with Governor Albert c. Ritchie of Mary land, who attacked the 18th amend ment. Both speakers were applaud ed generously and except for the ref erence to Bishop Cannon, the ad- dress by Mir. High was uninterrupt- ed and followed attentively.
 There are doubtless those who believe the 18th amendment can be enforced" declared Governor Ritchie in his address, but surely there is no one who thinks it is being en- forced"
 The Maryland executive asserted that congress never will make an adequate effort to enforce the law. Cost Would Be Tremendous T mean adequate" he continued lin view of those who think it pos sible to enforce it. MT. Doran, the prohibition commissioner, told the committee of congress that this would cost the government at least 1 S300:O00,000 year Congress will never appropriate any such sum and it will never create the gigantic en- forcement machinery which would | be required.
 MT High contended that "liquor defies regulation and demands de- struction.'

WILHELM HAS NEW
 FINANCIAL KEEPER
Former Kaiser Makes Changes
 After Series Of Rows

Doorn, Holland Aug. Is (P}-Ey- Emperor William II once again has changed managers: Baron Ulrich von Sell until now responsible for all publicity emanating from Doorn Castle, has been put in charge of the ex-kaiser's financial affairs.
 The appointment comes after series of disconcerting experiences which the former emperor suffered. His first general manager, Excel lency van Berg, who in 1917 and 1928 had been the chief of his civil cabinet, quit shortly after the final settlement between state of Prus sia and the former ruling house was perfected and adopted.
 One version is that the Hohen- zollerns were dissatisfied that von Berg did not succeed in obtaining even better terms than he secured with unusual skill. Another yer sion is that he declined to invest 1,00O,000 marks each of the 30,- 0O0, 1000 cash paid out by the state of Prussia, to the credit of the ex- kaiser's four step-children-the children of Hermine.
 Shortly before this conflict with von Berg. Adj. Gen. Hans von Gontard, marshal 10 his majesty's household, also had quit because of differences with Hermine.
 "Kaiserin" Hermine then per oJo1 how cporco 1ot her assume the running of the Doorn estate. As her only two as- sistants she chose a private secre- tary and the custodian of the crown properties Herr Nitz
 Things seemed to run smoothly until, quite recently it was dscov- cred that Nitz had been victimized by a swindler from Vienna, who proposed to harness certain elemen- tary forces of the universe. Nitz had given him about 100000 marks for his fraudulent scheme
 The eX-kaiser put his foot down on the mismanagement of his af- fairs. Nitz was dismissed and Hermlne's sphere of influence was greatly reduced. For William II de- cided to call in a man after his own heart and having his full confidence.
 Baron von Sell, the new manager, is 45 years old He was formerly an officer of the imperial guards. His wife, nee van Brauchitsch, is a social leader at Potsdam. Von Sell is said to be an excellent busi- ness man, also possessing winning social graces.

 Two Men and Maid" the Tiffany Stahl Tiffany Tone produc- ton showing today to Saturday at the Capitol theater, goes to Algeria to follow the adventurous romance of two members Of the French Foreign Legion. One is an English gentleman who has had his ideal of womanhood rudely shattered; the other is roughneck and bully who hasn't a notion of what an ideal is and doesn't need one, for gage, by right of might, on the af- fections of one Rose, a cafe girl who is proud of her conquest of the mighty adjutant.
 But Rose learns, when the Eng lishman responds to the power of ing without her heart, and when the heart is touched and the pas sions aroused. love is something beautiful and craftsmanship that demands a sacrifice. It is through the nobility of this Rose of an Algerian gutter that the sensi- tive youth learns how really human it is to err and how divine to forgive.

New York, Aug. Is (UP)-Rev. James Emprigham, national secre- tary of the Church Temperance so- ciety and former state official of the nti-Saloon league, stood accused by the health department today of violating state medical laws by pos ing as licensed physician and con- ducting alleged physical examina- lions of disrobed girls.
 Episcopal church authorities re- fused to comment, but it was under stood that copies of the charges have been referred to Bishop Will liam T. Manning as well as to the state health department.
 Dr. Empringham, an Episcopal rector before he became an Anti Saloon league executive and again when he relinquished that work fol- lowing enactment of the Vblstead law, for years has been in opposition to Bishop Manning.
 Now Ardent Dry
 This antagonism is the outgrowth of Dr. Emprngham' activities against "bone dry prohibition in which as an official of the Church Temperance society he has been as energetic as he formerly was in be- half of prohibition. One of his activ- ities was the conduct of the Health Educational society, Inc, at 8S5 St. Nicholas avenue. This office has been closed by the Health department after an extensive investigation.
 pr. Louis I. Harris, former city health commissioner, said today that the investigation was begun before he left office. and added he was glad it had been brought to a successful close.
 Dr. S. Dana Hubbard, chief of the legal bureau of the health de- partment. said: Rev Dr. Empring- ham is through posing in this city as a medical doctor and his place is closed.
 "As a protection to public health, this department does not intend to permit him or any other unlicensed person to assume the professional privileges of medicine and to ex- anime men and women disrobed.'
 Dr. Empringtam now is in Reno, New, where he has brought suit for divorce, charging desertion. As head of the Health society he ad-
