was drawn off into smaller contain CTS and hidden in some brush in Newington. According to the boy's story to the police. when they look cd for the containers later. they could not find them.
 Assistant Prosecuting Attorney w. NJ. Greenstein said the cost of the drum was S20.45 but in all proba- bility, some of the gasoline had been used from it and he made the value of the stolen article less than $16, thereby giving the boys every possi- ble consideration.
 Louis Argazsi, IT. of 14 Kelsey street; Roy Gray. 16, of ess East street. and Leo White. IT, of PA Whiting street. charged with break ing two gas meters in a house at l12 Hart street, were given suspended commitments to the state reforma- tory at Cheshire. and warned that 1t was their last chance to 90 straight. They were arrested with Villa and Johnson, and admitted to sergeants McAvay and O'Mara that they broke open the gas meters and took $1 out of one of them. the other having been emptied by the New Britain Gas Light company.
 Sergeant O'Mara testified that Be- lectman L. w. Lawyer of :7 Barnet street complained on April that the Hart street house. which he owned, had been entered. There were no families in it at that time and 1t was found that . window on the second story veranda had been broken to gain entrance. The boys admitted that each took 25 cents of the dollar and spent the other quarter for candy.
 MT. Greenstein told the court that ex-Councilman Henry W. Rice, rep- resenting the Gas Light company. informed him that numerous meters are broken into and it is difficult to catch the culpriH. Judge saxe questioned the fathers of the boys and satisfied himself that they were doing all in their power to keep them out of trouble. He impressed upon the boys that unless they went to work and made themselves useful they would 70 to the refsrm- atory and they would receive no consideration at his hands If they persisted in committing thefts and other onenses.

LENR0OT RECEIVES
 FEDERAL JUDGESHIP
Senate Finally Approves; Name
 Linked With Oil Scandal

Washington, May 1s.-R-Irvine Lenroot, former Wisconsin senator. is to be . judge of the court of cus- toms and patent appeals. Persistent opposition to his nomination was finally overcome yesterday and the senate voted confirmation.
 The vote was 42 to 27 and it came only after seven hours of continuous debate by the senate in executive session, with Senator Norris, republi- can. Nebraska. continuing to the end the effort he began during the final days of the Coolidge administration to block the appointment.
 The nomination of the former re- publican senator to the lifetime post was transmitted to the senate by Calvin Coolidge but was never acted upon. SPresident Hoover resubmitted it carly in the present session in the face of the open opposition that had become evident.
 Senator Norris based his opposi- ton on the former senator's attitude as chairman of the senate lands committee during the inquiry into the leasing of Teapot Dome naval oil reserve. He also condemned his ap- pearance as an attorney before the interstate commerce committee representing power interests shortly after his retirement from the senate.
 Senator Blaine, who defeated Lem root for the republican nomination in Wisconsin two years ago. and Sen- ator Heflin. democrat, Alabama. also joined in the verbal assault on the nominee during the hours of debate immediately preceding the confirma- ton.
 Senator Golf, republican, West Virginia, asserted in defense of Lem root that his record as a senator and as an attorney was clear. He con- tended that the nominees appear. ance before the senate committee to argue against the resolution of Sena- tor Walsh. democrat, Montana. for an inquiry into the utilities com- panies was legitimate service for an attorney.
 During the debate, the recurring question whether the doors should be opened for consideration of the nomination was brought forth apd Senator Black, democrat. Alabama, announced his intention of seeking to end executive sessions during such discussions.
 A motion to open the doors lost. 3s to 34. A second motion to make that roll call public received a 3S to 36 vote in its favor but Vice Prest- dent Curtis ruled two-thirds ma jority necessary and third vote sus- tained his decree.
