TURNER IS FREED
 Of FRAUD CHARGE
Match Silanal Not Gully on
 False .Prttass Count

Harry R. Turner, e5, of 46 Iin- den street, Plainville. was disrhars- cd by Judge N. D. saxe after hear ing in police court today on the charSe of obtaining money under false pretenses, the court finding that reasonable doubt existed. He warned Turner, however. that if he was making a practice of withhold ing money which he collected he should cease doing so at once or he would find himself in very serious difficulty.
 Turner was arrested on complaint of Harry Gold proprietor of gaso- line filling station at 33: Park street. the allegation being that he took an order from Gold on February 25 for 1000 books of matches and accepted payment of ts.5O in full. but did not deliver the matches. Gold wrote to the Star Match Co., of St. Louis, Mo, about the matter and received a reply that Turner was not authoriz- ed to represent the concern and no order such as Gold mentioned had been received. Gold had communi- cated with Turner when the matches were not delivered two weeks after the order was given. as promised. snd he could obtain no satisfaction, Turner telling him it might be . month or more before delivery was made.
 Sergeant T. J. Feeney, who inves- rant sworn out. testified that Turner told him he represented the Reliable Advertising O., and admitted having taken the order, from Gold, but he could not recall whether or not re- call whether or not he had turned in the money and the order Turner, according to the sergeant. is want ed" in Hartford.
 Gold told his story, and added that Turner last night offered him a check for &5.5O drawn on Attorney Monroe $. Gordon's account. At- torney C. W. Tamulonis represented Turner, and the former told the court the check was offered pending the trial.
 Turner, who took the witness ttand after Judge Save denied Cor don's motion for d discharge. tcsti- fled that he was doing business un- der the trade name Reliable Adver- Using Co.," and certificate of regis tration of the name was offered in evidence. He also offered letter from the sales manager of the Star Match Co.,, complimcnting the Re- liable Advertising Co. on sending ill business.
 Turner said he believed he had forwarded his check to the Star Match company in payment for the matches to be delivered to Gold, and Judge SaAe found that inasmuch as Turner actually was representative of the Star Match O., when he took the order. he could not be found 0Iilty of false representation as charged, and he was entitled 10 the doubt existing on >the point whether CT not he had turned in the money. If he did not turn in the money as he claimed 10 have done under oath, he committed another offense for which he could be severely punished, Judge Sake pointed out.

 tending ihe convention at the shuttle Meadow club. President Dyson is presiding and Sturman R Dyson is officiating for his third term as sec retary.
 The convention opened at 10 o'clock this morning with reeistra- tions in charge of the secretary. At 1o:30 o'clock the formal opening took place. with the presentation of the report of President Dyson. The report of the secretary and treasurer followed.
 At 1l;l5 the jewellers were wel- comed by Pardon C. Hickey, presi- dent of the Chamber of Commerce. Addresses by Charles T. Evans. sec retary of the American National Re 1ail' Jewellers association and Ed ward F. Lilley, vice president of the national association, preceded lunch- con.
 Wants More Drastic Laws
 Mr. Dyson's report was as follows:
 In submitting to the state usso- citation my third annual report as president, there are several very im- portant things that want to call to your attentioh.
 II an very much pleased 10 say that nothing has occurred or been brought to the attention of the ssso- citation that has had any unpleasant feature connected with it, which has been the case in the past. Therefore. from indications. the state associa- ton is doing effective work in a very quiet way. The members Of the state association. and come jewellers who are not members. have been willing to cooperate with the asso- citation in correcting some of the abuses that continually creep into the jewelry business.
 Prom my past observations. and l spoke Of it Il year ago. Connccticu, needs a much more drastic auction la W than it has on the statute books at the present time. Of course. the auctions are conducted within the law, but the law should be made more specific. that is, in regard to the amount of merchandise that can he sold at an auction. Also. time limit should be set for the disposal of this merchandise according to the inventory. We have had strik ing example of that in New Britain where a stock was inventoried at sl,500 and the auction has been run ming from the early part of April 10 the present time and all kinds Of rubbish and junk have been di.pos- cd of to the unsuspecting and gull ible public. Something will have to be done if legitimate jeweler ex- poets to continue in business.
 Would Control Itincraht Vendors
 Another law should be enacted enforcing cooperation with the ad- vertising clubs Of the state in refer ence to the itinerant vendor. At the present time there is no state statute governing this tradcsman. The only thing that really controls the itin- erant vendor is the local condition. and it seems 10 your president that state law should be enacted cover ing this situation.

/ Of their annual battle, Sched-
uled for unfolding before
10000 spectators at the Yankee Stad-

With toys laid away at most foot

coaches and graduate managers swept
into the city for the double purpose of
seeing what promises to be a great game
and of learning what they might from
the play of the two traditional rivals
Although facing the game without the
services of Tim Moynihan, star center,
Notre Dame remains prohibitive IA
vorite, but the Cadets cling to the hope
of an upset.
Despite the apparent disparity in the
strength of the teams, tickets were
practically unobtainable at any price.
Spectators held very few, which were
quoted all the way to 500 pair, with
owners holding out for even more
money.
Even though Notre Dame and the
Army Spreadeagle their field in the
East and the Nation in foot balls grand
finale, other important games will be
played in the Atlantic Coast sector to-
morrow-games which will attract
other tens of thousands of spectators.
Indications at Philadelphia are that
almost 10000 will enter Franklin Field
to watch the Navy and Dartmouth bring
their seasons to a close as Villanova
and Temple struggle before another
large crowd in another section of the
same city.
Up at Boston, all eyes will be upon
the annual struggle between Holy Cross
and Boston College, where two evenly
matched elevens will fight it out.
