Washington, March 13 Rl-At- tempts of the senate coalition of democrats and republican independ- cnts, to obtain reconsideration of the increase in the sugar duty and the vote placing a tariff on cement were repulsed today in the senate.
 With hardly the loss of a vote, the new majority of republican reg ulars with q scattering of democrats, held it's ground. Todays decisions keep the increased sugar rate and the cement duty in the tariff measure.
 The sugar duty is two cents a pound on Cuban raw, in place of 1.76 in existing law and 2.4O pro- posed by the house. Cement, which is now on the free list, is protected by d six cents q hundred pounds duty under the senate measure. The house bill asked an eight cent rate.

Fulfilling the expectation of dem- ocratic leaders that he would be their standard bearer in the city election next month, Attorney P. r. McDonough, today issued the follow ing statement:
 After due consideration, I have decided to become a candidate for the office of mayor of the City of New Britain
 Mr. McDonough, after nearly a quarter of century in public life, will seek elective offlce for the first time, and after campaigning for more than 10 mayoral candidates Of the democratic party will soon take the stump in his own behalf.
 The candidate declined to amplify his statement with announcement of campaign plans, platform, etc., and when asked whether he would prefer to have his party endorse Tax Col lector Bernadotte Loomis and City Treasurer Curtiss L. Sheldon, rep'lb- lican incumbents who have been as &ured of renomination, he inquired oi the interviewer:
 They are honest, aren't they" They have proved their efficiency as public servants? Then, believe they should be reelected"

His birthplace was on Grove street, in what is now known us the fifth ward, but was then con- monly designated as the Horace Booth farm. His boyhood playground was the district which has seen rapid development in recent years as the former farmland gave way to the expansion of the city and became the site of many residences, factories and the Sacred Heart church.
 Living directly opposite the Bart lett school, he received his early primary education there, later en- tering the parochial school In a reminiscent mood today, he recalled his first business eXperience' to be that of Herald newsboy. proud Of the fact that his route was one Of the largest in the city.

Louis Niedzwiecki of This City and William Duntz of Plainville Be-
 ing Questioned By Po-
 lice Former Carried Two Loaded Weapons.
House of Thomas F. Little, 92 Brighton Street, En- tered by Key Worker Who Is Seen Driving Away With Pal in Un- lighted Automobile.

JeWelry valued at s1,000 was stolen last night at the home of Thomas r. Little, 92 Brighton street, and both floors of the house were ransacked by key workers who entered through the front door and left through the rear, speeding away in a high powered automobile with headlights dimmed. The bur- glary is one of the most serious of the many perpetrated in this city by ransack robbers during the past year.
 Two Held on Suspicion Two former inmates of states prison at Wethersfield were held by the police today, although they steadfastly denied any connection with the burglary. Louis Niedz- wiecki, p. of 9G Concord street. was found hiding behind tree on Allen street, a short distance from Brighton street, by Officers Peter C. Cabelus and William Cronin, and , when searched was found to be carrying a nickle plated 45 caliber automatic pistol and black re- volver, 3S caliber, both fully loaded, besides two masks. a large black i kerchief and two boxes containing several dozens of bullets for both guns.
 i Early today William Duntz, 26,
 of Orehill, Conn.,, was arrested on 8 chicken farm on Pennington ave- nue, Plainville, where he has been employed for three weeks, and was questioned at local police headquar- | ters, denying that he and Niedz- wiecl>i knew anything about the burglary. He admitted that he was with NiedzWiecki last night and is said to have given Detective Ser geant c. C. Ellinger a detailed -ac- count of his movements.
 Niedzwiecki was presented in po- lice court today on the charge of carrying concealed weapons and a plea of not guilty was entered by Prosecuting Attorney J. G. Woods, who recommended that the case be continued until March 17 in bonds Of $1,000. Duntz was not presented in court and up to this afternoon no charge had been placed against him.
 Crooks Escape in Auto Sergeant J. c. Stadler, who was detailed to investigate the report that the Little residence had been entered, learned that a sedan was seen speeding north on Brighton street after having started in front of the house, and for some distance the lights remained dimmed. The police believe the burglars were in it, and it is possible that one stayed in the car so as to be prepared for a quick getaway. while the other ransacked the house.
 i The jewelry included three strings of pearls, one diamond ring, one ring set with two pearls and one ruby, one brooch with four pearls. one cuff link with moonstone

 Washington, March 13 R-Alonzo Stags, who has won his way tc by coaching the big Maroon clevens of Chicago univer- sity, was recorded today before th house judiciary committee alon with a group of prominent busincs men of Philadelphia as sharing tn same view that the 18th amend ment should stand.
 The white haired athletic director, whose voice has parked sharp com- mands to youthful athletes for 3S years, said that it was his observa- ton that the young men and women of today were fortunate in growing up in a land where the sale of in- toXicants was prohibited.
 "Trcmbles to Think" of Results
 With the breaking down of home life and with all the complexities of new opportunities for being misled, I trcmble to think" he said, what this revolt of youth might have led to were prohibition laws not in op- eration."

Briand Predicts Failure Within Fort night-Enolish Insist There is Yet Hope to Save Situation-Morc Conferences Called.

London. March 13 R-Thc dcleGa- ton of three countries at the five power naval conference were ad herring tonight to the position that some solution was possible, despite the cricis growing out of the French big navy demands.
 The situation was extremely grave this evening but Premier Macdonald and Secretary of State Stimson upon whose shoulders the brunt of the problem has fallen were still trying to persuade France to alter her views. They continued their con- the crisis growing out of the French Foreign Minister Aristide Briand.
 That France might not be per suaded was freely admitted on all sides, but the other delegations at the same time refused to admit that the case was hopeless.
 Three Power Plan Possible
 Those close to the inner workings of the conference reiterated that if all else failed there still was a pos sibility of three-power agreement between the United States, Great Britain and Japan. All the three delegations were anxious that Italy make some more specific declara- ton than the rciteration of her de- mand for naval parity with France in the hope that this might alleviate the situation somewhat by giving France another road to explore to see if it might lead to concessions.
 London, March 13 (P)-Thc heads of the delegations to the five power naval conference strove vigorously today to find a ground for reconcil- ing the seemingly insurmountable differences between France, Italy and the other powers on naval limitation.

 Germans for Cooperation
LIQUIDATION PACT TENDS
Calls On People 10 Rcunitc Under Historic Slogan of "DcutsChland Uber AtIcs"-Iirst Political Move Since He Denied War Guilt.

Berlin, March 15 P-President able president, today set his hand and seal to the Young plan despite t he urgent appeals of his one-tine folloWcrs-many of them men who had fought shoulder to shoulder with him and others who had helped elect him president.
 The president who otherwise is extremely punctilous about not mixing in political situations, cast aside his reserve at this critical hour and penned d declaration in which he gave clear indication of his dcvo- ton to his duty as he saw it.
 Only once before did he thus ey- pose himself politically-When in conjunction with the unyeiling of the Tenne nburg monument on Septem- Der 19, 1 y27, he told the world that lie rejected the charge of Gcrmany's war guilt.
 His present declaration, in which he made an appeal to all Germans for cooperation ill the common task and to rcunitc in one thought, Deutschland Uber Alles.' was looked upon as one of the most im- portant documents in German his tory and as a great force in reuniting the German people.
 The associated liquidation agree ments have not yet been signed, as the president is formally obliged to investigate whether any of these agreements arc in conflict with the constitution.
 The presidents delay on the asso- Ciated measures was directed solely against the Polish agreement con- corning which he desires to satisfy himself that it is not tantamount to a constitutional amendment. President Von IIindenburg imme- diately requested the chancellor and the cabinet ministers concerned to render opinions on the Polish Ger man agreement lquidating all out standing questions between the two countries.
 Should the Polish agreement prove tantamount to a constitutional change, it will need q two-thirds nll- iority in the Reichstag for passage.
 After he had signed the Young plan, President Non Hindenburg is- sued the statement, explaining his reasons and appealing 10 the Ger man people 10 forget party strife and to work together for Gcrmany's re- construction.

Court Never Tried to Put Me On Right Path. All It Did Was Put
 Me Out of Way" His Indictment of Society.

The story of q young man who tried to stick to the straight and narrow path but failed, who was re- formed by the love of a good girl but who backslid again; who felt that all mems hands were against him and life held nothing but dark and cheerless prospects until in despera- ton he resorted to d. bullet as the only way out, are contained in a letter teeming with pathos and tragedy written by Florian Laskow- ski, 21, of 435 Burritt street to his lawyer, Attorney Monroe Gordon.
 Laskowski had been tried with William Mason of this city on a charge of burglary. The local police court bound him over to the superior court. Tuesday morning when he was scheduled to appear in superior court he locked himself in the living room at his home and fired a shot from rife into his abdomen. He is at the New Britain General hos pital where he is expected to re- cover.
 Police learned Tuesday that Las- kowski had written a letter to At torney Gordon but that the letter already was in the custody of the postal department and not availa ble to the authorities.
 It was learned today that Las kowski, who spent all Monday night crying, had decided the night before that he would commit suicide.
 Letter Rev calls Depression
 The letter, addressed to Attorney Gordon was written Monday evening and dated March 10, 1880.
 I'm sorry. I can't go through with it. You might think Pm a coward. No, no. It's just this. I'm sick of everything. It takes more courage to shoot yourself than to face two or more years in prison. When l got out of Cheshire I made up my mind to do my parole and I went as far as nine months. And somehow l slipped in my last three months.
 "I can't get over it Monroe. my freedom meant so much to me. l met a wonderful girl. She changed my life. She put me on the right path.
 But it's too late now. Somehow I don't care what happens to me now.
 There is no use me going to trial. I haven't a chance in the world. Whenever get pinched I always get the dirty end of everything. 1 never got a decent break, I always got a ride. Of all the trouble I've been in this is the first time that I'm really sorry for what l have done. I'm 21 years old but I've been through Hell in and out of jail. I'm sick of it.
