No New School Buildings Possible
 For Four Years, Bartlett States

After former Alderman Donald l.. Bartlett had advised a gathering Of parents and teachers in the Lincoln school auditorium last night that, in his opinion, no new schools can be built for at least four years the agitation for a junior high school for the western section of the city took on new interest, that of protecting the elementary school accommoda- tions now available.
 Several men and women promi- nent in the Parents and Teachers association preceded Bartlett and all agreed that the need for junior high school accommodations in the west end of the city was evident.
 Some of the enthusiasm cooled after Bartlett expressed his views on the matter to the effect that all money available for the expansion of the school system had been ex- haustcd. He further stated that to the best of his knowledge it would be at least four years before any more schools were added to the sys- tenn. He advised against any agita- ton that might tend to gain facil- ties for pupils of the higher grades in the present building of the Lin coin school, expressing the fear that any such action would create in a

 NEAR S7TH BIRTHDAY
Resident for Many Years Cast First Vote for
 Lincoln

The man who cast his first vote for Abraham Lincoln is dead today.
 Henry r. Haslam of 1l5 Bassett street, who had been 8 resident ot this city for more than threc-quar- ters of a century, died this morning at his home. Had he lived until next month he would have Celebrat- ed his S7th birthday.
 Born in England, Mir. Haslam came to this city about 7S years ago and had resided here since.

few years congestion far more acute than that being experienced now.
 Miss Elsie Miles, principal of the school, spoke against the idea of concentrating the needed facilities in the present building, saying that such action would defeat the de- partmentalized program on which the school system is operating, and would tend to throw the pupils back to the old methods of education that have been discarded as passe by the highest authorities on efficient edu- cational programs.
 After listening to all the argu- ments a resolution was pa~5ed which authorized the appointment of a permanent committee whose function will be to seek all the in formation possible on the subject and to keep in closer touch with developments on the matter. It will devolve on this committee to make known to the school board the districts needs and desires.
 After tho meeting an interesting lecture on art was delivered by Dew cy Van Cott, director of art in the schools.
 [ Several musical numbers were rendered by a string quartet be- fore the meeting.

LEVITT MOVES TO HAVE LAW '0BEYED' Asks New Haven Road, as Stockholder, to Remove
 Crossings

New Haven, April 1 6 P)-Profes- sor Albert Levitt of Redding, Conn, as 8. stockholder, in the annual
 meeting of the New York, New Ha- ven &s Hartford railroad company
 today. moved that the acts of the
 directors, approval of which was an
 item of business, be approved with
 the provision that they be instruct
 cd to remove grade crossings ac-
 cording to Connecticut law. The mo-
 ton, a verbal one, failed for the lack
 of a seconder.
 Professor Levitt is seeking to have the public utilities commission re- moved for failure to enforce the law which would require the railroad company to remove one grade crossing for each 50 miles of track. The question of custer is now in the courts.
 Prof. Levitt made his motion as an amendment to the item of busi- ness concerning the acts of the di- rectors. He said there had been no grade crossings eliminated between 1925 and 1880. ..
 This would mean, he said, re- moval of 50 crossings each year.

New Hartford, April 16 P-Cor- oner Samuel A. Herman, today be- gan an investigation into the death of John Asco, 50, a farmer whose body with a bullet wound on the right side of the head was found last night on the highway near the victims home in the Nepaug section
 While Medical Examiner J. R. Lee at first inclined to the theory that Asco had committed suicide, police are now considering the possibility that the farmer was slain.
 A revolver was found in Asco's left hand. State police today went to Hartford where they hoped to dis cover the source of the weapon.

Association Against Prohibition Head Tes- tifies Society Spent $427,2l3 Last Year Working for Repeal Helped Wet Victor.
Dodges Direct Answer to Query on Use of Armed Force'' to Stamp Out Law-Parries Thrusts of Caraway With Nimble Tongue.

Washington, April 16 (P) - Con- sons in the United States were in revolt against prohibition, Henry H. Curran, president of the Associa- ton Against the Prohibition Amend- ment, testified today before the sen- ate lobby committee that his organ ization had spent $427,213 last year in working for repeal of the dry laws.
 Aided In Massachusetts
 Part of the money was used, he added, in working for candidate in the recent primary in western Massachusetts and at the present time the organization is advocating the election of three candidates for office in Pennsylvania.
 He said it had not been decided whether the association would par ticipate in the Illinois senatorial election, in which Representative Ruth Hannna Mccormick. repub- ncan dry, and James Hamilton Lewis, democratic wet, are the com- peting candidates.
 TestifyinS in an even tone for the most part, MT. Curran predicted that prohibition would be repealed and denied that his organization had engaged in lobbying activities" :"
 He was directed to rcappcar again tomorrow for further questioning.
 Dodges "Armed Force" Query
 Asked if he would favor armed revolution" against the prohibition law, Curran replied that i've will cross that bridge when we. come to it.
 He added that there already was "armed revolution so far as some of the prohibition officers were con- Cerned.
 Five states were in "revolt,' he said, maintaining that the rights of the people ought to be defended in any way, that becomes necessary
 Challenging Curran's statement that the people were in revolt against prohibition, Senator Robin- 
 seven men had contributed more than 60 per cent of the associations S funds this year.
 Robinson read from a record that the total for the first two months of this year was S16G, G,554. He added that among the contributions were Irene Du Pont, s5O,000; Pierre Du Pont $12,500; Lammot Du Pont, s17,50O; Richard T. Crane, $12,500; Arthur Curtis Jones, s12,5oo; John J. Raskob, $17,50O; and Charles II. Sabin, $7,500.
 "Looks Like Du Pont Subsidiary
 Ut looks like it is a Du Pont sub sidiary," Robinson commented.

 mick Victory in Illinois Primary
 to Be First Case Invcstigated-
 Curtis Faces Hard Work.
 Washington, April 16 P}-Ap- pointed today to serve on the senate campaign funds investigating com- mittee, Senator Bingham, republi- can, Connecticut, declined because of the necessity of leaving the coun- try this summer on the Samoan commission.
 Second Resignation of Day
 This left a vacancy in the com- mittee originally assigned to Sena- tor Goldsborough, republican, Mary ldliu, huO ItSlS llCu lOudS.
 The committee has been called by Chairman Nye to meet late today for organization. Other members are Patterson, republican, Missouri; Dill, Washington and Wagner, New York, democrats.
 Senator Goldsborough's resigna- tion is the third since the commit tee was ordered to work by the sen ate. The committee meets late to- day to organize.
 Senator Johnson, republican, Cali fornia, and Senator Pittsman, dem- ocrat, Nevada, also declined ap- pointment. Along with Senator Goldsborough they gave the same reasons-an excess of other duties.
 The committee was occupied to- day with the formulation of plans for it's investigation of expenditures on this years election.
 Its actual inquiry is to be begun next week and Chairman Nye has selected the recent Illinois primary as. the first to be investigated. In that contest Mrs. Ruth Hanna Me- Cormick defeated Senator Charles s. Deneen, for the republican sena- torial nomination.
 Received Complaints
 Nye has received complaints of excessive expenditures involving both Mrs. Mccormick and Senator Deneen. The former yesterday said she welcomed the inquiry and that she had kept an accurate account for her own work, although she had relied to a large extent on volun- teer campaigners.
 Another campaign to be investi- gated is the Pennsylvania republi- can primary in which Secretary Davis is op~osing Senator Grundy for the senatorial nomination.

Hartford, April 16 P>-The sub stantial citizen who stood on his constitutional rights and refused to answer two questions in the cen- sus enumeration forms probably is convinced that he had none in the act of congress on the census.
 He has answered both questions and the enumeration of the city has not been 'gummed up by court proceedings as it was feared for a short time.
 The persuasive voice of the United States attorney may have brought the answers.
 The citizen thought his constitu- tional rights were in article " of the constitution-the search and seizure paragraph.
 He did not believe he had to set q valuation on his home or that Uncle Sam had any business to ask him if he had a radio set.
 Every other question he answered With the greatest of courtesy.
 GO to the assessors for the valua- ton of my hQuse,' said he. So the
