 To Relief Fund

According 10 an estimate made today by Dr. Joseph Potts who, with Dr, Frank Zwick. arranged with New Britain high and Vermont academy for the benefit football game at Willow Brook park Thanks giving morning. the net proceeds will be approximately s1,S00.
 The amount taken in was below what was expected Cold weather was one of the principal reasons for the small crowd. The advance sale of tickets was not large. football fans preferring to wait until game time.
 The only expense in the entire game was $3 paid for posters print ed by the New Britain State Trade school. This work was done at the least possible cost. It was necessary 10 pay only for the paper and ink. The school did not make charge of labor. In making the s3 charge the school authorities were acting in accordance with state law re- quirements.
 - The field was used without rental expense. Vermont academy paid it's expenses out of one-third of the gross receipts. The balance of the third will be used to aid New Brit ain boys 10 pay part of their schol- arships expenses next year. The police service was gratis.
 There are many tickets in the hands of members of service clubs and merchants that have not been returned. Until these have been ac- counted for. it would not be possible to give official figures.

MALTB|E ASSUMES
 HIGH COURT OFFICE
Becomes Chief Justice Of State
 as Wheeler RetireS
YOUNGEST TO HOLD POST
New Jurist Began Legal Career in
 190J-Bccame Member of Super
 for Bench in 1917 and Associate Justice in 1925.

Hartford, Dec. 1 lP-Willam Maltbie, justice Of the supreme court of errors. who began his public life as a member of the general assem- ply in 1913, today became chief jus tice of Connecticut. George Wake man Wheeler of Bridgeport, who has reached the retirement age. has retired as chief justice after service in that office since 1920.
 This was the date for the change, although when the supreme court came in recently for it's sitting, Jus tice Maltbie took the place of the chief justice, that Chief Justice Wheeler might complete his work and refrain from sitting on cases which would be unfinished when his retirement came.
 Just Past 50 Years
 Chief Justice Maltbie is just over 50 years of age and it may be said that youth has taken the helm Of jurisprudence in Connecticut. He is probably today the youngest man ever to become chief justice Of his native state and in natural order of life he has before him more years to serve in the highest office, before in turn. his retirement shall come, at 70. than any other chief justice.
 Retiring Chief Justice Wheeler, on the other hand, was probably the nt tn appointed to the superior court bench when this office was given by a democratic governor. Luzon B. Morris, in 1893.
 Chief Justice Maltbie, a graduate of Yale Gs0O and the law school in 1905, was appointed executive sec retary by Governor Marcus B. Hol- comb. when the latter began his term in 1915 and received an ap- pointment as judge of the super for court in 1917. He was advanced 10 an associate justiceship in the supreme court in 1925.
 Chief Justice Maltbie has been regarded by those at the bar as an advanced thinker, Recently in an address he gave his opinion on jury service for women, a privilege which the general assembly has re- fused to grant. that the question would not be settled until that right is granted. adding T am by no means advocating it myself but I find myself put to it 10 give any sound reason why women should not serve on juries."
 He noted that the new court house in Hartford had accommodations in anticipation that some day women will do jury service.

Losses Blamed.
 NorwaIk. Dec. R--The Central Fairfield Trust Co. of this city was suspended today by means of a re- straining order issued by State Bank Commissioner Lester E. shippee. The order forbids the bank from paying out any funds or receiving deposits until hearing is held before a judge of the superior court. The ac- tion follows an examination of the bank, just completed. by A. F. Aus tin, chief examiner of the state banking department.
 Christmas Checks Delayed
 Christmas club checks, to the amount of s30,000. which were to be received by depesitors today, have been held up.
 The banks present difficulties are largely the result of a heavy shrink age in commercial deposits. This steady drain has naturally forced liquidation of quick assets and has weakened the reserve position to a point where suspension was neces- sary.
 During the past 10 days. the di- rectors of the bank have not only made every effort to place it in a more liquid condition, but also have pledged themselves to add sl50,000 to the surplus account of the bank, a large part of which has already been paid in in cash. This money was voluntarily advanced for the protection of depositors,
 Plan Reorganization
 According to a statement issued by Commissioner Shippee. the sus- pension will be temporary one, as negotiations are already under way with we'll known banking interests, looking towards the reorganization of the bank.
 The directors today issued a statement declaring that they were bending every effort toward a speedy reorganization of the bank along lines which will merit com- plete confidence. They assure de- positors that they are fully protect ed.
 The bank has a capital of s200,- 900. The company was incorporated in 1923. A statement in the state manual for 1880 gave the company's surplus as of last year s100,000 and undivided profits of s69,594.42. The savings deposits were given at s1,- 496.156.21 and the commercial de- posits at sl645,72342.
 Officers of Concern
 The officers given were Emile Hemming. president; $. L. Weed, secretary, and I. P. Spining, treas urer.
 In an official statement, published on October 2, 193O, showing the condition of the institution at the close of business on Sept. 24, the de- posits of the Central Fairfield Trust Co. were listed as s964,000, with as
