Perry Caldwell, former federal prohibition agent. is held under bond on a charge of cashing an expense voucher of Sutton by forging his en- dorsement, using Suttons initialed ring and a Masonic emblem of his for identification. Caldwell refused to discuss the case. He was dismiss ed from the force in 1925 when the government was reducing it's num- Der of field men.
 Believe Man Slain
 c. U. Finley, a federal agent in charge of the case, expressed be- lief that Sutton had been slain and the body dumped into the rear of the car to be hauled to the place where it was disposed of.

Government Keeps People Informed of Progress by Means of Radio Broadcasts in Which Warnings Are Issued Against Reds.

Rio De Janeiro, Oct. 20 P) - Four American airplanes comprise part of the military equipment be- ing used by the Brazilian federal government to put down the rebel lion.
 The machines. owned by the Sac Paulo state police. were equipped with machine guns several days ago and now are doing active duty against the rebels in the state of 1 Parana, near the Sac Paulo border. | They also are used for bombing, but since they are not equipped with racks all bombs must be dropped by hand.
 A foreign engineer brought word today that the city of Campos, a sugar making center in the state of Rio De Janeiro 137 miles northeast of the federal capital, had never been menaced by rebels from the state of Minas Geraes. Previous re- ports had indicated that the town |
 was endangered by bands slipping over the nearby Minas Geraes bor- der.
 The people of Rio Dc Janoiro and Sac Paulo are kept informed of fed cral progress in the present warfare 1 by government broadcasting sta tions, which go on the air every night with communiques pointing out the situation and answering the claims of revolutionary forces.
 One point stressed in such talks is the possibility of communist trou- ble. the government warning all i Brazilians against such movements.
 Government sources said today that the federals are maintaining all positions on the Sac Paulo- Pa rama front, and advancing against the rebels in southern Minas Geraes. i Yesterday was a quiet day owing to bad weather, the stormy condi- Continued on Page Two)

LARGER FORCE NEEDED
 FOR NEW TAX SCHEME
Semi-Annual Collections Would Require More
 Clerks, Loomis Says

The proposed semi-annual collec- tion of taxes, which will be consid- cred at a meeting tonight of a spe- .cial committee of the council mem bers and Chairman W. H. Judd of the board of finance and taxation, will. if put into effect, increase the detail work in the collectors office and may necessitate extra help, Col lector Bernadotte Loomis said to- day.
 He does not oppose the plan, he said, and if the common council or ders it done, he will carry it out. He favors including in the city charter a provision setting forth the time the taxes are due and payable, there be- ing no charter arrangement in this respect at present.
 There are many details to be worked out in connection with the proposed plan, such as interest charges on unpaid balances and the effect of semi-annual collection of personal property taxes. The latter are charged in small amounts. some of the bills being for only few dol lars and in some quarters the feeling is held that it would be unwisc to split them into two payments.

REPUBLICANS TIE UP
 HALL IN FIFTH WARD
Hire Rialto for Important Dates Prior to Elec-
 tiOn Day

Stealing a march on their demo- cratic rivals, the republican town committee, through the fifth ward personnel, has rented Rialto hall on Broad street for three important dates, Sunday, Oct. 2G, Sunday, Nov. and Monday, Nov. 5, leaving the Jcffersonians in the position of being forced to hold their rallies in other halls or use the Rialto on less at tractive dates.
 It has been the custom of both parties to bring their campaigns to a close in the fifth ward the night before election, and the democrats were able to obtain the use of the Rialto hall in the last campaign, ne- cessitating the use of the Washing ton school by the republicans, who preferred the school auditorium to Falcon hall, which is much smaller. Protiting by their experience the re- publicans rented the Rialto for the three dates, much to the consterna- ton of their opponents.
 Chairman Harry M Ginsburg of the republican town committee has addressed letters to republican coun- Gil members and other city officials, inviting them to cooperate in plans for the election on Nov. 4. Tomor- row evening at 7:30 o'clock second ward representative will meet at re- publican headquarters, 269 Main street, and representatives of other wards will meet while the campaign is in progress.

A police boat put out for the trio, but was delayed when it struck a rock. Meanwhile the res- cue was effected by the lighthouse keeper. When the police boat finally arrived and only the capsized dory was found. it was feared the trio had become exhausted in the cold water and drowned.
 The rescued men today said at no time had they given up hope they would be rescued. During their more than two hours in the water, their only concern. they said, was for Harry Schmidt, whom they feared had drowned during his swim ashore for help.

FRENCH MOVE ID PROTECT MARKET Orders Checkup on Illegal Stock
 Spetulations BANKS IN DIFFICULTIES
Action Follows Tardieu's Announce mcnt That Economic and Ffnan- cial Trends Will Be Closely Watch cd by Nation.

Paris, Oct. 20 P>-The French government today ordered judicial investigation and prosecution of all persons suspected of engaging in acts endangering financial markets and illegal speculations imperiling the normal functions of the stock ex- change.
 This action followed closely upon an address by Premier Tardieu yes terday in which he said France had decided to keep it's economic and financial house in order with the same energy and determination it has manifested in preventing meet ings calculated to disturb public tranquility and national security The prime minister in his address called upon the public for united eff fort to insure the continued stabil- ity of the French government.
 One Suspends Payment
 It has been known in banking cir cles that as the result of what the Paris press describes as wild ru- mors, one or two financial houses | have been obliged to seek support and an institution, called the Vas seur bank, has been forced temper arily to suspend payments following a run of depositors. The manage ment has issued announcement that the banks assets far exceed its lia bilities and that the institution will resume business soon.
 The investigation ordered today will be pursued under an article ol the penal code which provides i'm prisonment of from two months tc two years with heavy fines for per sons convicted of deliberately at tempting to manipulate the prices ot stocks and bonds for the furtherance of their own interests.
 | Boursc Very Nervous
 ! The Boursc recently has been >ncr- vouS and irregular and often has dis l played weakness. This has been as- cribed in part to reaction to the New | York stock exchange but the govern ment observed that the movements have affected solid French securities without reasonable justification.
 This situation will be examined in the application of Premier Tar. dieu's statement that France must persevere in it's risistance to "the economic depression from which the world is suffering" and that France economic stability is due to the har- mony and stability of the French

ZONE BOARD BOSS,. K|RKHAM'S RULING.
Corporation Counsel Acts to
 Clarify Question Of Authority COUNCIL MEETS TONIGHT
Confusion Caused By Ambiguity of Ordinance Expected to Be Cleared Up-Ncw Action Recommended On Several Petitions.

Action of the common council on eight zoning matters will be chang ed at the special council meeting to- night, if resolutions prepared by Corporation Counsel J. H. kirkham are adopted, and action to clarfy Zoning ordinance so that there will be no question as to the responsibili- ty for holding public hearings on petitions for zone changes will also be taken.
 As the ordinance stands, there is a difference of opinion among city officials and lawyers as to- whether the board of adjustment or the ordinance committee is the body charged with the dlty of holding the hearings, and it is proposed to specify that the board of adjust ment shall do so. If the clarifica- ton is effected, it will be necessary for the board to change it's monthly meeting date because there will not be time between the council meet ings on the third Wednesday of the month and the board meetings on the first Wednesday of the following month to give 15 days notice as re- quired by ordinance.
 Before the ordinance can be clari- fled, however. the board of adjust ment must act and if the proposed amendment does not meet with the approval of the body and an un- favorable recommendation is made to the council, it will require a three-quarters vote of the council membership to make the change What the attitude of the board will be was problematical today.
 Would Rescind Votes | One of the resolutions prepared | by Corporation Counsel kirkhaH recommends that the action of the council on the petition of Vincent D'Agata, ct al, in changing a zone at Myrtle and Burritt streets a few months ago, be rescinded and the matter referred back to the board of adjustment because the board gave only 14 days notice of hearing instead of 15 days as required by ordinance.

The board in this instance did not give the required IS day. Continued on Page Two)

Checking Up Liquid Assets

Hartford, Oct. 20 R>-The task of finding out just what liquid as- sets there are on hand in the bus ness of Fuller. Richter, Aldrich and Co.,, petitioned into bankruptcy Sat urday night before Federal judge E. s. Thomas at his home in Norwalk was taken up by Thomas J. Spel- lacy, temporary receiver, today.
 The first cursory review of the ac- counts indicated that the troubles of the firm are primarily due to what are described as frozen as- sets," a condition which was brought to an acute point by the continued drastic fall in values of securities in line with the downward course of the stock market.
 MT. Spellacy said, in taking up his duties that the liquidation of the af- fairs of the banllrupts, would be largely upon market conditions, a rise in values giving promise that losses will be minimized while con- tinued depression will make salvage difficult and forced sales of assets would create heavy losses.

 BRUENING VICTORY Chancellor Turns From Reich
 Strife to Mendin8 Fences PAPERS SOUND WARNING
Socialistic Extreme Left Says Situ- ation is Still Precarious While Communists Paper Hints of rrcachcry

Berlin, Oct. 20 LP-Nictory of the government in the Reichstag Satur- day night produced a pronounced reaction on the Boerse today where gains up to 10 points on principal issues were recorded almost from the start
 The government of Chancellor Bruening turned today from the parliamentary strife of the past week to the task of consolidating their positions before December 3, when the Reichstag meets again. There is plenty of work to be done during that six week interval. | The chancellor's financial program and 30 supporting bills must be forced through committee, and the government, despite majority of S2 on the final vote, Saturday night, which signif1ed confidence, must look about for way to increase and make more stable its margin over the opposition.
 Although in political circles Chan cellor Bruening's attainment of ad- adjournment was viewed as cab inet victory, Albeit made possible by aid of the social democrats, tech nically opposition, it was conceded generally that the rest attained was at best just a respite and that the difficulties of piloting numerous bills through committee were just beginning.
 May Protest Adjournment Der Montag hinted today that either the nationalists, fascists or communists, or all together would protest to President Von Hinden, burg that adjournment of the Reich stag Was unconstitutional.
 That the parliamentary situation still is prccarious is admitted even i by the socialists c.itreme left news paper Montag Morgen. which warns the chancellor that many surprises are in store for him and to beware being knifed by his temporary al- lies, meaning the smaller parties, such as the populists, economic party. and the like.
 | The communistic Rote Fahne to- day says support of the government by the social democrats in Satur- days voting marked the greatest so- cial democratic treachery since 1914. The nationalists' Lokal Anzeiger finds that the government and coal : ition parties will be unable to hold their new positions in the long run against the flood of attacks from both right and lieft.
