BATTLES WITH FLO00,
 WOMAN MEETS DEATH
Stricken After Railing Water From Cellar of
 Her Home

The death of Mrs. Stella Zinzalat of Newington in the New Britain General hospital yesterday is blamed on the storm of February ', which caused the flooding of many streets and hundreds of cellars in this city, according to information learned to- day.
 Mrs. Zinxalat. who was 30 years old. had been in good health prior to February 2. the day of the storm. The rain filled the cellar of her home, according to neighbors.
 In a vain attempt to empty the flood waters, she pinned up her skirts, removed her shoes and stockings, and, armed with a water bucket for bailing purposes, plunged into the water almost up to her arm pits and proceeded to carry it out. She received a chill while working. dizxy spell followed and the at tack of cerebral hemorrhage caused her removal to the hospital. Febru- ary 3. Terminal pneumonia was a contributing factor in her death.
 Funeral services will be held Mon- day morning at 8 o'clock at St. An drew's church. A requiem high mass will be celebrated. Burial will be in St. Mary's cemetery.

Women Identify Photographs of Three Detroit Grim. inals as Spies Who Used Room Opposite Garage as Lookout" Post for Days Before
 Seven Men Were Slain

Chicago. Feb. 16 R-Three Purple" gangsters of Detroit today were thrice identified through pho- i tographs . as members of the gun gang sought for Thursdays septuble staying.
 They were the spies, police said, the "spotters;" the advance men for murder. They were planted in ad- vance to observe the men marked for death. note their hours of gather ings, 50 that the actual killers would know exactly when and how to strike.
 Two women and man living across from the garage where the gang massacre took place made the Identification. From score of pho- tographs they picked three which they said were of men who had rented rooms overlooking the gar- age-rooms which they occupied during a period of days immediate ly preceding the assassinations.
 Harry and Phil Keywell. brothers, and Eddie Fletcher were the three whose pictures were identified.
 Trail Getting Hot
 After the identification police an- nounced that the trail of Chicago's hloodiest gang murder was growing hot and that important arrests were near. But even the prospect of early and definite police action was over shadowed by several sensational aftermaths of the crime.

FRESH BLIZZARD ADDS
 TO PLIGHT OF EUROPE
Cold Closes All Schools in Berlin-Seven Deaths
 in England

London. Feb. 16 RNA new bliz- gard. bringing ice and snow, today was sweeping down upon central Europe from the Siberian steppes and the east.
 Shortage of coal, gas. electricity and water developed as the intense cold from which the continent has suffered continued with little lessen- ing. Hope arising from slight rises in temperatures in Germany was counteracted with forecasts of the new cold weather.
 For England warmer weather was predicted. but present conditions caused extreme discomfort and suf- fering. Freezing of water mains has made it necessary for thousands of Britons to obtain their drinking water from temporary stand pipes in the streets.
 Freezing of gas main and the danger of artificial thaw wing left dowA town Berlin without gas tor fuel and lighting yesterday. Ice dis. abled the power station at Breslau. where 1t was 20 degrees below zero, Fahrenheit. and that city was with out electricity.
 Berlin Schools Close
 All schools at Berlin have been closed. and water and food shortages have developed. These have given rise to considerable price-raising and speculation which authorities are combating.

Moran was found. not by authorities but by newspapermen. The seven who were slain were Moran mobs- mel.
 For another thing, a fiery shaft of censure and warning was shot by States Attorney John A. Swanson at the law enforcement agencies of Chicago and Cook county.
 The states attorney called Police Commissioner Russell, other high officials. sheriff's officers and county police to his office, and issued this fiat:
 Enforce the gambling law, and the laws against vice.
 Obey these orders. or you'll go to prison"
 Swanson told them that their de- partments were to blame for the gang warfare. Those murders, he said, and the long list of unsolved ones that preceded 1t, were commit- ted for just one reason. and that reason was the easy money which enforcement agencies had permitted gangsters to collect.
 Swanson's Threat
 ''It is easier." said Swanson, who was elected last November on . drive-out-crime platform. Ito put a guilty policeman into prison than to put guilty gangster there. If you have any doubts, I'll settle them for you"

President Neubauer of Brook Street O0accFu Says Ho Has Received Invitations to Transfef Factory to Other COmmunities,

Because of the refusal of the board of adjustment to alter the zon- ing laws to allow the Acorn Bearing Co. of 20 Brook street to build an addition, to its plant. President J. Neubauer stated today that, if. at the next meeting, no favorable &C., tion is taken upon the request, the company will be forced to move to some other city.
 He stated that the company has received an attractive proposition to locate out of town and because of the fact that business has increased, officers have been forced to seek larger quarters. Every week large volume of business is being lost be- cause cramped quarters prevent them from filling orders. he said.
 He stated that more than six months ago, officers of the concern requested the change in the zoning laws 70 that the company could build an addition but the request has not been granted.
 The company was organized in 1918 and started business in a small building in the rear of MT. Neu- bauer's house. The place measured 10 by 10.

Confession by Jackson's Wife Does Not Alter Status Of
 Accused Man
CASE WILL COME UP
 DURING APRIL TERM
Coroner IAil Plans to Retain Roth Messages Until After Inquest Funeral Of Suicide Wife of De- tecttve Held Today With Burial In New Willimantic Cemctcpy- Crowds Watch at Grave,


 Willimantic, Feb. 16 R>-Trenor A. Rice. deputy sheriff and once friend of County Detective William E. Jackson. for whose murder be has been indicted. must stand trial for the staying. despite a confession signed by Mrs. Gertrude Jackson. be- lore she committed suicide this week.
 That was announced today. lis case will come before Judge l.. P. Waldo Marvin of Hartford at the April term of superior court hem.
 Rice has not been told of Mrs. Jackson's death nor that In a note addressed to his counsel, William A. King. she took full responsibility for her husbands death. A second note. addressed to Rice himself has rot been delivered to him.
 Detective Edward J. Hickey, who headed an investigation into Jack sons death. declared that Mrs, Jackson's admissions would not in- terfere with his plans to try Rice. The widow he said, had implicated the deputy sheriff in two confer- ences with detectives after the shooting of her husband.
 It has not been learned if the Rice note was opened by authorit- les or whether he will be allowed to obtain it. Coroner Arthur c. Bill. who holds both messages said he would continue to keep them in his possession until the inquest into Jackson death was completed. Then, he said. they will be turned over to state authorities. The in- quest was halted Wednesday hv Mrs. Jackson's suicide and will be resumed next week. Coroner Bill s&id he felt that the ends of justice would be best served by not publish- ing the contents now. He and several other officials were the only ones who have read Mrs. .ackson's mes. sage to King.
 Stamped for Mailing Bill believed that Mrs. Jackson's suicide. which occurred shortly aft- CT his inquest hearing. had been carefully planned. In proof, he said the envelope containing both notes had been stamped and addressed.
 Mrs. Jackson intended to mail tt that day but found no opportunity. Instead she concealed them in her stocking where 1t was found after she shot herself.
 Wife's Grave Prepared
 A grave in the new Willimantic cemetery was in readiness this morning for the body of Mrs. Ger trude Jackson. widow of Detective William E. Jackson whom she con. fessed in note left by her, she had killed. After daylight an under taker placed in the grave concrete

 New York. Feb. Is R - Mel vile E. Stone. for 2s years general manager of the Associated Press and for half a century an outstand- ing figure in journalism. died last night at hts home, 12O East 18th street.
 In his Slst year. he had been in falling health for four months. Death came quietly at $50 p. m. Wnh him were his wife and daugh. ter. The cause of death was arterio- sclerosis.
 In 1921 MT. Stone retired as gen. eral manager of the Associated Pres because of age and became counselor and secretary. He served as counselor till his death.
 His journalistic career. which be- gan when he was 20 years old, spanned one of the most vital epochs in news-gathering and dis tribution and was closely identified with 1t. The son of a Methodist cir cult rider. he was successively man. ufacturer. newspaper publisher and banker till at the age Of 45 he be- gan his life work in the direction of unbiased and accurate cooperative news gathering and distribution.
 Tributes Arc General
 Tribute to MT. Stone was paid after his death by persons promi- nent in various fields of activity. There were references to him as "a true patriot" His contribution to journalism was described as lone of the greatest monuments an interna- tional figure has ever had" Adolph s. OchA publisher of the New York Times and one of the directors of the Associated Press. said that Mir. Stone. possessing the business quali- fication of Gary. a Field or an Armour. accepted an opportunity for service to his fellow man and in old age had reason to feel that he had been fully compensated for the fortunes he sacrificed.
 "1 have lived from the lightning rod to the radio" Mir. Stone said last year." -aad ] have seen cleo tricity change the whole business of news gathering" Fa .
 In retirement, he kept in close touch with the activities of the As sociated Press and he was frequent ly consulted for his advice.
 Realized End Was Near
 "I am an old man." he said at the annual meeting Of the members in 1925. Tt is not at all unlikely that this is the last time I shall have an opportunity to talk to you.
 Y regard the Associated Press as a public duty and every public duty is . privilege. If it were not SO I should never have been with you.
 Incidentally. the Associated Press is an opportunity for you to make money. But if money getting and public service may be joined hand in hand. as l think they have been in this institution. then you have been doubly blest.

Washington. Feb. IS NeReports that another naval armament limi- tations conference was in the mak- ing have taken shape with tho an- nouncement by Sir Esms Howard. British ambanador, that his gov ernment plans to take the initia- tive toward such . conference.
 The United States and Japan both are believed to favor an armament barley. The Washington govern ment has received no direct word from Great Britain. This and the fact that the next administration probably will have to deal with the problem. has impelled the adminis- tration to proceed cautiously, but word has gone out that the United States is maintaining its traditional attitude of readiness to participate in such a movement. Baron Tanaka. Japanese foreign minister. recently suggested that 1t might be we'll to advance the date of the conference set for 1881.
 Preliminary Probable
 It is thought that the British gov- ernment will propose . preliminary conference to prepare for the 1881 barley when phases of the agree ment reached at the Washington conference in 1921 come up for re- view. The number of capital ships and their tonnage and armament were limited at the 1921 meeting. The tonnage of cruisers was also limited to 10000 tons each and their maximum armament was limited to an eight-inch gun. but no restriction was placed on the num- Der of cruisers to be built by each nation. .,,..
 It is believed that at the next conference a determined eflort will be made to limit auxiliary ships and to arrive at a different method of comparing fleet strength other than by tonnage figures and gun calibrs.
 It was considered significant that the United States in addition to out lining its attitude made known that it was willing to advance the date of the 1921 conference in case a majority of the powers that ratified that pact favor such action.
