SOFT BALL LEAGUE
 BEING ORGANIZED John COnlin Returns to Arena as
 Diamond Manager TWO NIMRODS IN COURT
New Britain Had IS Hooks On Lines-Apple Growers Warned to Take Precautions to Preserve Ex- port Market-Circus Tonighta

Following two games of indoor baseball played last night at the Percival avenue grounds between the Bottle Alley" nine and team from St Paul's Social club, which resulted in no decision, as both teams split even. final plans were made for the inauguration of a soft ball league in Berlin.
 The two contestants of last night made formal application as mem- btrs of the league and John Conlin became so worked up at the pros pect of being able to win further 1 honors that he completely forgot ! his stand of few months ago, when he stated that neither he nor any of ther competition until next fall, and decided to enter his outfit from down Blue Hills way as the third entrant.
 Officials of the league mulled the matter over for time and came to the decision that it would be to the advantage of the league 10 pick a team that would not be too tough as the filling entry on the league roster and decided to send formal invitation to the team from New Britain headed by Judge Mangan.
 They felt that the invitation would be accepted and left for home con- tent that the league could start its schedule not later than next Tues day night.
 Rules were drawn up to govern the conduct of the league and 1t IS understood that the only stipulation made was the recommendation of Mir. Conlin to the effect that the St Pauls not be allowed the use of any players who appeared with an- other team. He explained this ac- ton by stating that on past oc- casions his team would be sched- lled to play one of the teams and the next time they played they would find the same faces in the lineup of the opposition and that the name of the team only would be changed. He felt that the rul- ing adopted would change this phase Of the matter and also weaken the chances of the Kensington boys and enhance those of his own clubs winning the bunting or whatever they are to play for.
 Jack Giana. manager Of the St. Paul outfit, stated this morning that his team would not be hampered by any such ruling and prepared to make any concession asked of 1t by Conlin if it would assure his entry into the league.
 There is some bad blood existing between these two teams and some hot games are in the works when they clash.

 The facts of the case as presented by Attorney Tracy, Judge Donovan asserted. made the charges minor of lenses with the exception of reckless driving and attempting to evade re- sponsibility. The representing attor- ney said that there was a question as to whether his client was drunk be- fore or after the accident this being the reason for his request for nolle and the ultimate recommendation of the assistant prosecutor that the charge be nolled. An informal posse which gave chase to capture Lincoln on the morning in question, July 4, apprehended him, so the defendant figured, about a quarter of mile" from the scene of the accident. Judge Donovan thought that the distance was a mile.

 Enormous Drop Recorded
 According to the monthly report of uperintendent G. Earle Lourie Of the water department submitted at q meeting of the board Of water commissioners held at the offices on Riverside avenue last evening, 761,- 500 gallons less a day of water had been consumed in Bristol during June of this year than the same month Of last year This great de crease is due, it is believed, to the industrial depression and the fact that many persons have left the city. The average daily consumption of water during June was 2.125,000 gallons. the lowest figure in years.
 The commissioners. at their met ing, voted 10 sink approXim 40o feet of eight-inch main on Melville street. southerly from South street extension. The petition for this main from residents of the street was presented at the March meeting. but action vas deferred until sidewalks, curbs and sewers had been laid on the street. The commissioners voted to replace the current four-inch line on Oak street, from South to Elm street. with an eight-inch main. Eight-inch main will also replace four-inch line on Riverside avenue, extending from Henry court to about 100 feet east of the east line of Mel lon street.
 Bills rendered for water during the month was $l5.SS8.S7, or $2.401.6& less Ahan during June Of last year, At the present time, superintendent Lourie reported, all reservoirs eX- ccpting No. are filled to capacity. q true indication of the fact that there will be no shortage this year, No. l is 9 inches from the top.

Managers Loudly Protest That Establishments Do Not Begin to Pay Until 3 o'Clock-Dancing Girls Face Poor Pickings" Prospect.

Shanghai, April s, R1The night life of the Paris of the Far East" as the various Shanghai Chambers of Commerce call their city, is threatened by new menace,
 The city administrations which SO casinos of the international settle ment last summer by sending the proprietors to prison, has decided to make matters as uncomfortable as possible for the bars and cabarets by closing them up at o'clock in the morning.
 Surprise to Managers
 The regulation comes as distinct surprise to cabaret managers and hundreds of charming Russian, Chi nese and Japanese dancing girls who make their living tripping the light fantastic at so much per trip" It is the consensus among the night owls that both the cabarets and the slrls are doomed to slim pickings," unless the municipal council relents and rescinds the order.
 The order also means that the in ternational settlement will lose most of it's glamour for routist parties and tired" and wealthy business men who visit this part of the world to have a Took -scc" at the life of this allegcdly wicked place, for the cab- arcts are to Shanghai what night life is to Paris.
 ? Not Late in Shanghai
 To the ordinary human being, , o'clock may seem late closing hour, but not according to Shanghai calcu- lations. Most people who go out for an evening start their merry-making at any one of half a dozen hotels which usually close their bathrooms about one o'clock. From the hotels the revelers go to the all-night caba- rets where professional dancing part ners are to be had at a dollar mex for three dances.
 The cabaret managers have voiced a strong protest against the munich pal councils action. They point out that the real business is not done until we'll after 1 o'clock and that the psychology of the Shanghai cab aret frcquenter is such that he will not go out for one or two hours en- tertainment in the evening, but pre- fers to make his nocturnal jaunt an all-night affair.

 The manager of the largest foreign cabaret in the international settle ment is credited with making the

CHURCHMEN URGE BIRTH CONTROL
Ask Change in Restriction Now Enforced in State

New York, April (UP) - Birth the first time officially by any Meth odist body when the New York East conference of the Methodist Episcopal church yesterday unani- mously adopted a report of it's so- cial service committee.
 The report suggested that fin the interest of morality and sound scientific knowledge" the legisla- lures of New York and Connecticut remove existing restrictions pre- venting physicians from communi- eating birth control information.
 The report also recommended that marriage licenses be issued only after public notice and the lapse of a stated period of time.
 Tt is the clear duty of the churches the report said, Ito offer to their young people an opportu- nifty to consult some qualified ad- viser--thc minister, perhaps, or a physician, the director of religious education or other specialist-who, besides having 6 clear grasp of the fundamental principles of sex mor- ality, would have also an apprccia- ton of modern tendencies and would be in a position 10 offer ra- tional advice.
 Tn the interest of morality and sound scientific knowledge we favor such changes in the law in the states of New York and Connecticut as will remove the existing restric- tions upon the communication by physicians to their patients of im- portant medical information on birth control.'

SCIENCE, REVEALS
 NEW DISCOVERIES
Cold Substance May Have Con-
 nerCial House Uses

Atlanta, April 8 (UP)-Applica- ton of the science of chemistry 10 the problems of the human race made the 18th annual convention of the American Chemical Society yesterday something distinctly out of the ordinary.
 More than 1000 practicing and research chemists were here to an- nounce, discuss and demonstrate .the latest achievements of their science.
 Definite meaning, buttresscd with hope for a struggling world, was given to such otherwise mean inglcss terms as ''xyIose," "fluoro- chloro- bacillus del brueckia." "Vitamin G." and scores of other chemical tags that sound high and really mean much.
 The girl with a persistent sweet tooth and the cotton-seed grower ot the south found rear news in the announcement of Dr. w. T. Schre!- Der of the bureau of standards, Washington, that "xylose," a noa- fattening sugar, has been made from the waste of cotton seed hull bran, of which it is estimated there is something like 100000 tons an nually.
 Bran Can Be Used
 It has been shown in a plant built and equipped by Theodore Swann at Anniston, Ala, that the bran can be converted into ''xyloso'' on a thus far semi-commercial basis.
 "Aylose" heretofore has been sol1 for experimental purposes at the prohibitive price of s100 a pound, but hope of ultimate commercial production came with the an- nouncement,
 As for ''fluoro-chlero- -methane' it holds out lot of hope to swclter- ing mortals on hot summer nights. l. is newly discoveerd refriger- ant, perfected in the laboratories ol the Frigidaire Corporation, Dayton which possesses the property of boiling at IS degrees below zero, Fahrenheit.
 To Conquer Heat Problem
 Through its ultimate application to domestic use, scientists expect 10 conquer the heat problem.

talk things over with Teddy. He would understand.
 She was having her swift whrl- | wind rush into life with a capitl Il L. and it had brought her d certain amount of excitement and breath | less pleasure
 It had brought her some good things among others the friend ship of Teddy Montrose. And th's she felt was very beautiful thing, | though it could not last for long. II could not, for instance, possibly last longer than her money lasted. 1 When that was gone she must go also, and Teddy must know of her no more, except as memory.
 But 1t seemed now that things had gone entirely wrong. Now she faced arrest, disgrace, imprison- ment.
 | There was loud tap at the door The tension of her nerves WAS such that she almost shrieked. She made one wild grab at those wicked looking gems winking up a. her from the carpet. She hal just time to snatch them up and 1 thrust them into what she called her V, when she heard the door open.
 She stood literally petrified with fear. Her heart seemed to drop cut of her body. The police. She dared not turn around.
 If you please, ma am"
 She Whirled around. It was a small boy in buttons-the age-boy with the red hair.
 The sense of relief made her feel faint. But the relief did not last for long.
 If you please, ma'am, there's q gentleman down below what's ask ing to see you. He says can he come up here because he wants 10 see you private?' ?'
 Her first wild thought was that it was Teddy Montrose. But she had only left Teddy about half an hour ago. Perhaps he had come back.
 '1s he a very tall man with broa ] shoulders, fair hair cut very short, and blue. eyes? A - handsome man?"
 The red-headed boy grinncd. NO, ma'am. Hes dark and not so terrible big. Hes got black eyes sort of piercing" Jacqueline's heart sank. Bring him up here" she said wearily and resigned herself to the ordeal of | facing a Scotland Yard detective fo:' she was convinced it was no one else.
 She did some quick thinking. In her view there was only one chance or escape. To hide the diamonds and deny everything.
 Fo.cing herself to be cool Ja.- queline looked around for a hiding place. She knew all about these detectives from much promiscuous reading, and a more or less regular attendance at the cinemas. And she knew that there was very little that escaped the hawk-eye. As for secreted jewels, it was uncanny the way these detectives walked straight to them as if by scent. I She had only a few seconds 70 make up her mind. A couple of minutes at the most before the red-headed boy would return with 1 the hawk-eyed one.
 She stood perfectly still in the middle of her pleasant sitting room, looking slowly round. Who would have thought, few days ago, that she would be in this de- llghtful room, trying to hide the fruits of her innocent crime from the eager eyes of Scotland Yar1" What a life. No ordinary place would do.
 She thought of one hiding place after another. The clock, the vases on the mantelpieee, the coal scuttle; under the carpet; under
