CARY COOPER AT CAPITOL

seven Days Leave opens at the Canitol thcatcr Wednesday for three days.
 Here is q play. q daring play. For it has not the slightest hint of boy andgirl love in it anywhere. But not alone for this courageous omis- sion of an hitherto pct formula of movicdom are its producers descrv- ing of praise. seven Days Leave is worthy of the current movie sea- sons biggest laurel tiara for the req son that it is one of the most poig- nantly human pieces of audible screen production ever projected 10 the eyes and ears of American au- dicnccs.
 Gary Cooper is starred as the soldier-hcro, the lanky Canadian of the "Blacll Watch," who is adopted as her sin by a pathetic Scotch char woman of London. He plays the part admirably, and of course looks every inch the hero that he has come to be in the eyes Of movie audiences cv- erywhcrc.
 In sum, if your budget allows you to sec but one picture this season spend the allotment on "Sevcn Days Leave" If it allows you 10 see two pictures. go twice. to sec seven Days Leave"
 The Co-fcHturc will offer Colleen Moore in "Footlishts and Fools with Raymond IIackett and Frederic March.
 Beginning Saturday the Capitol will offer the talking and sound yer sion Of The Phantom of the Opera" with Lon Clancy.

Mayor Quigley Discov- CTS Three Days Notice Must Be Given Before Notes Can Be Offered for Sale By City Clerks Work in Vain.
Finance Board Approves of S1OO,OOO Issue for Public Works Depart ment and s15O,OOO for Sewer System-Welfare Work Cost Up 200 P. C.

After the city clerks office staff had worked at top speed preparing notices to the members Of the con- mon council for special delivery last night, so as to abide by the charter requirement of A hours notice for special council meetings, it was dis covered today that tonight's special session cannot act on the proposed issue of $100,000 street fund notes because the law requires that such issue be advertied three days prior to the meeting. The notices were delivered in time last night but to no avail, and it is necessary to call an- other meeting of the council, which will be held next Monday, Mayor Quigley said.
 Finance Board o. KS Notes
 The board of finance and taxation, at a special meeting in the mayors office this noon, voted to recommend that the notes be issued and that they be paid off at the rate of $20,000 per year for five years. Chairman William H. Judd, who presided, in- formed the board that the $105,000 issue, which was approved by the common council on Sept. 17 had been held to be illegal by a firm of Boston lawyers because the legis- lative act of 1921, under which the issue was made, specified that the ret grand list rather than the gross grand list must be used in estimat- ing the city's bonded indebtedness. and $105,oO0 would exceed the city's' 1 five per cent debt limit.
 The Boston lawyers, Chairman Judd said, would not commit them- selves as to the legality of issuing short term notes payable out of tax ation over a five year period, but the state banking commissioner and the states attorneys office inform ed him that they saw no reason why the issue should not be made, from the legal viewpoint. He added that President E. N. Stanley of the Savings Bank of New Britain .s willing to have the bank purchase the notes in view of the approval of the state banking commissioner.
 Rescind Action on Issue
 On recommendation of the chair man, the board voted on motion of Commissioner Francis C. Kelly to recommend to the common council that the action be rescinded, and then Mayor Quigley informed the board that Assistant Corporation Counsel M. H. Camp had advised him of the requirement for three days advertisement of the $100,o00 issue and the consequent necessity of holding council session later. Whether it will be legal to hold the speical session tonight and adjourn

 While the newly elected Reich stag, with it's greatly increased rep resentation of fascists and com munists thus got under way in a rather more peaceful atmosphere than Mondays opening session, the Bruening government was faced with a new problem in the form of a strike by 126,000 Berlin metal work CTS, members of the largest trade union group in the world.

FISHING SCHOONER RACE CALLED OFF; FOG HIDES MARKER BluenOSe We'll in Lead But Cannot Find Second Flag
 Buoy in Mist
40 MILE WIND PROVES
 CANADIAN FAST VESSEL
Salt Banker While Search For Direction Mark Is Under Way Officials Rule Tilt No Contest Be- cause of Lost Time Looking For F1ag-Captain Pine in Hospital.

Gloucester, Mass. Oct. Is lP - The second race between the Glou- cester fishing schooner Gertrude L. Thebaud and the Nova Scotia fish erman Bluenose was called off to- day after the two boats had nearly completed the first half of the course. Thick weather which made it difficult for them to find the markers caused the postponement.
 The Bluenose was leading at the IS mile mark, but experienced diff culty in locating the marker and while it was still searching the The baud came up with the Nova Sco- tian.
 10 Mile Wind Blowing
 A rain squall, driven by 40 mile east wind, swept the sea as the boats reached the end of the first round of the triangular course.
 During much of the race the boats were hidden or half hidden by the smother of fog, rain and spume from the sea and those on the Conyngham. the coast guard de- stroyer which served as commit tee and press boat, was unable to keep track of them. The coast guard destroyer Tampa also stood out on the course and helped to guide them and report progress.
 Thebaud First Away
 The Thebaud was first to run out of the harbor for the race today and she was followed by the Blue nose a few minutes later.
 The wind was singing through the rigging as the Thebaud went out and she was not wearing her top sails.
 The race committee signalled course number one and Bluenose reached the starting line as the course signal went up. She was storming along under her four low CTS, jib, jumbo, fore main and main top.
 The dashing appearance of the big salt banker caused a cheer from even those on the coast guard de- stroyer Conyngham, the committee and press boat.
 Spectators Are Few
 The dirty weather had cut down the spectator fleet, and there were few pleasure craft outside the har- Dor.
 The number one course meant that the first six mile leg would give the schooner a beat up the eastern shore, the second leg a run before the wind out to sea and the third six mile leg, beam across the wind.
 The 1S-mile triangle was to be sailed twice and then the schooners had a mile and five-eighths wind
