President Of Directors Claims
 Specific Charges Of Brutality Have Not Been Proven
fAYORS SENDING CRIMINAL
 INSANE TO STATE HOSPITAL
spokesman for Administrative Board i Points Out That Patterson and E Other Witnesses Admitted They
 Knew Of No Cruelty Instances Recommendation That Mental
 Cases Be Moved Made Last Fall.

Hartford, Nov. 2S tF) - Col. Nor ris G. Osborn. of New Haven. pres iIent of the directors of the state prison, today gave 1t as his opinion mat the specific charges on which inc present inquiry of the admins tration of the prison had been based, lad been met and disproved. He aaid he spoke for the directors as well as for himself.
 Colonel Osborn said former Dep uty Warden George Patterson and other witnesses, in response to ques- tons asked of them by Chairman Homer S. Cummings Of the gover- nor's committee, said they knew of 10 instances of brutality in the treat iacnt of inmates. The inquiry was asked for, the colonel said, because o' assertions made that inmates had been inhumanely treated.
 Other Points Irrelevant
 AS to the other aspects of the ad ,ninistraton, as brought out in the investigation, Colonel Osborn said these were entirely apart from the .ctual reason for the request for the Inquiry. As to segregation of the in- s,ne in some other institution, Col orel Osborn said this recommenda- on is in the report of the directors which was prepared in September md submitted to Governor Trum- bull. The directors had urged that the general assembly be asked to make provisions for this change.
 Colonel Osborn said that having got rid of women inmates at the prison after many years of effort, he directors, as a step toward bet rcr conditions, had begun their de- uand for a legislative special act to rave the insane removed.
 We have always held" he said, that tre surroundings for insane in Ne prison are not right and that .nese people should go 10 another institution for treatment. The new tate hospital at Newtown will ar ford the accommodations for the criminal insane. We shall be inter- ,sted in the report of the experts InOSen DN NlS AStliilll'tN" t'tiI anticipate with keenness their re- port.
 Conditions at the prison were described by pr. Harold A. Ban croft, consulting prison psychlatrlst' and they are those which the dlrec- .ors for long period have been em- ,,Aasizing in their effort to get more ..ipport from the legislature. It vas t..cause of these conditions that the .eed of a new prison has been ITged."
 Urges Support
 Colonel Osborn said it was his Aope that whatever the report shall ,e. the next general assembly will come to the support of the state prison by providing it with appro- ,riations which will enable the directors to carry through plans for letterment which they always have lad but which could not be accom- pllehed for lack of funds.
 Colonel Osborn said that while Inc report of the directors had been prepared, approved and submitted

DENIES ACTION SUNDAY
George Mcintyre Says He Caused Blaze Last Year But Was Not Re sponsibIc for Second Fire-Statc Police Present Signed Statement
Special to the Heraldl

'SpeClal 10 lns tte1dlul
 Berlin, Nov. 2S-George Mcintyre Of kensington, who was apprehend- ed a few days ago by the state police. was tried this morning at a special session of the town court on charges Of arson in connection with the burning of George B. Carter's barn last Sunday night on Hart street, Berlin. Mcintyre, who has been occasionally employed by Car ter, Was charged specifically with wilfully setting fire 10 the property Of another.
 The defendant was brought 10 court by Lieutenant Paul Ldvin and State Policeman Carroll Shaw, and Officer Shaw submitted a confession sworn to by Mcintyre, that he had set fire to Carter's barn which burn cd on May 23 Of last year. Though Mcintyre confessed to igniting this barn which burned last year, he nevertheless denied having any con- nection with the fire of last Sunday.
 May Be Unbalanced
 Feeling that be could not deal with the case as amply as it descrv cd, Judge George G. Griswold bound the case over to the superior court session which opens Tuesday. The bond was fixed at $500. The court felt that Mcintyre was mentally un- balanced and that the superior court could deal with a case of this kind more directly than could the local court. A finding Of insanity would necessitate the affirmation of two doctors.

 Hours Daily
5 DAY WEEK ADOPTED
 TO STRETCH OUT JOBS
bearable - Even Veterans CoT- plk wea,her-cost of Motor Trucks Reduced in New Public Works Department Program.

Effective next Monday laborcrs in the employ Of the street and sewer departments Of the board of public works will work eight hours a day, five days week quitting al D. m., with no work on Saturday, The present working schedule is nine hours a day, six days a week. Men employed in the street cleaning gang, dumping grounds patrol and maintenance Of the sewer beds are not included in the new schedule.
 Extends Working Period
 City Engineer P. A. Merian said today that the principal reasons for the reduced working hours are the fact that dusk settles soon after 4 D. m., making it practically impos- sible to accom- plish anything there after. and the necessity for extend ing the period of employment of many temporary employes. ObVi- ously, he said, work being done by hand labor will not be completed as quickly on a 40 hour weekly sChed- ule as on the 54 hour arrangement and the reason for doing some of the street work this year is to pro- vide em ployment for men who have been thrown out of jobs in the fac tories. Their weekly wages will be reduced but they will be employed longer. provided the weather does not become so cold as to neCessitate a general discontinuance Of new work, and the city will receive a greater return for the money ex- rended because there is little pro- duction between 4 and p. m.
 Truck Cost Reduced
 A reduction in the price of hired trucks will also be effective next Monday, those for which $25 day is now being raid to receive s2o, and the sl5 and SIP a day trucks to be ts-id SIP and $10 2. day respec- lively.
 The sudden cold snap Is having it's effect on hundreds Of laborers who heretofore spent their winters in well-heated manufacturing plants and never had experienced the rigors of pick and shovel work in the wintry blasts from which there IS no protection. Even veterans whose resistance to the cold has been stiffened through their years of ex- posture felt the weather today, but to the newcomers it was well nigh unbearable.
 City Engineer Merriam said It will be impossible to keep the gangs en- ployed on the streets if the cold cor tinues, because the ground will be frozen and digging will be prac- tically out of the question. The percentage of return on the money paid for labor will be greatly re- duced because inexperienced men cannot make progress, he said.

Nip Scheme in Bud When Ofi-
 CiaIS Grow Suspicious

 Bloomingdale police had been notified that two suspicious men had been lettering around the bank for the last week, and were anticipating the bank would be robbed.
 Awaited By Police
 Two automobiles bearing six men this morning sped into the business district and when they were about 100 yards from the bank, Foster Hargreaves, Bloomingdale chief of police, and Thomas Spring, chief of police of Butler together with two state troopers, ordered the drivers of the cars to halt.
 Instead, the leading car lurched ahead, increasing it's speed, and the other car did likewise. The police then opened fire from doorway.
 Both automobiles halted as the police fired, and it was learned that one of the suspected robbers had teen wounded in the side. All of them carried rcyolyers.
 They wers disarmed without of fering resistance. and the wounded man was taken to hospital, while the others were locked up in the city jail at Pompton Lakes.

 Quizzed Bank Official
 Two strange men entered the bank last Tuesday and asked an employe a number of questions that aroused his suspicion.
 When this employe saw the same two men on the following day standing in front Of the bank, he notified Chief Hargraves, who sought Springs assistance, and started keeping the watch which today is believed 10 have averted robbery.

CARAWAY UPBRA|DS
 WICKERSHAM BODY
Calls Crime Commission "Cold
 Storage Device" in Tirade
APPROVES HOOVER STAND
Arkansas Democrat Says Statement On Prohibition Should Be Made by President-Charges Executive Wants to Keep Issue "On Ice"

Washington, Nov. 2S (CP)-Sen- ator Caraway, dem. Arkansas, to- day described the Wickcrsham crime commission as a cold storage de- vice" created by President Hoover to escape taking a definite position on the prohibition question.
 T presume" Caraway said 10 the United Press, that the Wickersham committee is carrying out the wishes of it's creator.
 Tt is a cold storage commission. President Hoover was vague and un- determined on prohibition during the campaign. He is suspected now by both tthe drys and the vets.
 But the president wants to keep this question on the ice until he de- cides there is a settled public opin- ion with regard 10 it And I believe he would be satisfied to accept eith- CT side os the prohibition question after that.
 Declaration Needed
 There are many questions before LII country SOddN. IHtlt IS iloL oil- other on which there is more UT gent need for an intelligent, honest declaration by the president of the United States than on this question of prohibition.
 The WiCkersham commission was supposed to report for the informa- ton of this session of congress. 1t should refuse to be a smoke screen or 2. cold storage box any longer"
 Caraway is an uncompromisinS dry. He will be found this winter supporting Senator Glass, dem., Va, who is expected to inaugurate con- gressonal bombardment of the com- missions efforts to solve the prohf- bition problem. At the last session Glass succeeded momentarily in eliminating an appropriation for the

her lovely hair!

Millions of men and women
know how Danderine helps stop
falling hair and dissolves the
worst crust of dandruff; how
easily it changes dull, lustrelesS,
brittle hair into hair that is soft,
sparkling, vigorous.
With Danderine it is so easy to
train" a child's hair; to keep it
orderly, sparkling, clean. Dan
derine accentuates the natural
curl of a child's hair. A girls
waves" look more natural when
set" with it. And they stay in
longer
Use Danderine with children to
overcome the evils of frequent
washing. 1t puts back into hair
and scalp the natural oils re-
moved by soap and water.
Danderine isn't, sticky or oily,
doesn't show. It is no trouble to
use. Just put a little on the
brush each time the hair is ar
ranged. That will keep the scalp
healthy and encourage the growth
of long. silky and abundant hair.
Five million bottles used a year
is proof of Danderine'S effective
ness.

II you live on what is usually known
as moderate income or possibly on an

probably feel that you have few or no

income Is spent for necessities. Yet
even poor folk nowadays have some
Injuries, comforts and conveniences,
many of which would have been out of
the reach of the richest folk two or

that might be less expensive If pre-
pared at home. LuxurieS Of dress in
clude any garment or accessory bought
merely for the sake Of style, trimmings
and fine materials. Shelter Injuries
include, according to the experts, pri-
vate bath room, single bed rooms, as
well as living in house or apartment
that is in any way larger than abso-
lutely necessary to health and decency.
Other So-called Injuries include
candy, tobacco, flowers, social clubs,
