CURTIS WRITES WIFE
 OF HURRICANE SCENE
Letter Received in Bantam Gives Vivid Picture
 of City

Bantam, Sept. 12 P-Charles B. Curtis, American minister to the Dominican Republican, in a letter to his wife, graphically described the damage done last week by tho hur- ricane which swept over Santo De- rningo.
 An otherwise tragic recital of death and ruin is relieved by Min ister Curtis by several facetious references to the personal discom- fort forced upon him and his neigh bors by the hurricane.
 I am considered remarkably lucky as I have at least two good suits" Mr. Curtis said in his letter, which was written September 4. Mrs. c, has one dress, Mrs. F. one dress and M. said he was wearing borrowed clothes"
 T have not seen a single street through which a vehicle could pass corrugated iron sheets, doors. ma sorry, etc, are everywhere. To pay that 99 per cent of all the houses are badly damaged is conservative. Only the very few fiat rooted rein forced concrete houses and very old buildings with very thick walls have remained unchanged. Not single roof to be seen from here.
 There is now (since the hurri- camel view of the ocean from the front veranda."
 On the morning of the hurricane Mrs. Curtis said he had gone home from his office, ''as it had begun to rain hard and blow bit at ii a. m. and I had asked Ramierez{ le- gation clerk) to lunch.
 "The wind got stronger and the rain heavier, but the barometer re- mained exactly where it had been the night before-769 nm (3o.2S inches). At about o'clock, after we had seen numerous branches blown from the trees, we saw the roof of the Damiron house next door begin to lift.

 ness Turns Upward ORDERS ARE STILL SP0TTY
Buying Expected to Be Conservative and Cautious For Some Time Manufacturers Hope End of Dull Period Is At Hand.

That the worst of the financial de- pression is over aud conditions will improve in this city within short time, is the opinion of most c7 the manufacturers in New Britain, ac- cording to partial survey made by the Herald today.
 While no local factory reports the receipt of any large orders or any particular quantity of small orders, there is a general feeling of opti- nlism which makes business leaders believe that the brighter side of the dark cloud has been turned and the silver lining .is coming into view.
 While New Britain factories pro- ducing builders hardware will be among the last to get back to nor malcy due to the fact that hardware generally is the last purchase on construction job, more Activity has been noted in steel products in gen. eraL
 Stating that he thought that ex- pectations were more substantial than were "whistling in the dark one local manufacturer said: While we have not noticed any change in conditions, except that they do not seem to be growing any worse. we all feel better than we have for some time. and we expect within the next two or three weeks to see things begin to pick up con- siderably."
 Another manufacturer reported that although good orders may come in one day the opposite condition is experienced the following day and there arises some doubt as to how rapidly the change will take place.

New Britain Residents Turned Over to State At
 Night E
NELSON AND G0NDOLF0 REMOVED TO HARTFORD
Efforts to Obtain Statement at Head quarters Of Local or Connecticut Authorities Futile as Lips Are Closed On Reason For Taking Pair Into Custody-Report Points to Distilling Plant.

Surrounding their movements with q cloak of strict secrecy, the state police at Hartford are working on case of alleged violation of the liquor law and yesterday and last night two local residents were taken into cus- tody by the local police, who refused point blank to make known anything concerning the matter.
 Late yesterday afternoon Sergeant T. J. Feeney of the detective bureau took Nels J. Nelson of 1e5 Jubilee street into custody and turned him over to the state police. About mid night Detective Sergeant P. J.. O'Mara and Sergeant E. M. kiely routed Vincenzo Gondolfo of 27 Franklin street out of bed and brought him to the police station, where he was held until a state po- liceman called about 1:15 o'clock this morning and took him to Hart ford.
 Nelson Not Under Arrest
 All inquiries concerning the ar rests were referred by the local po- lice to the state police and Lieu tenant Paul Lavan, in charge of Hartford headquarters, would not comment. Asked if Nelson had been arrested. he replied negatively. Ask ed if he had been taken into cus- tody for questioning he declined to reply. His attitude in Gondoho's case was the same. We want noth- ing said about the matter whatever" Lieutenant Lavan said. When the right time comes we will release a story but not until then"
 It was learned from sources in Hartford and New Britain, how ever, that another New Britain man has been sought by the state and local police for the past three weeks or more in connection with the case. It is said liquor 1istilling plant in Granby or. nearby has been | operated by New Britain bootleggers and the state police are striving to run them down.
 GondoIfo Denies Connection Gondolfo is said to have denied to the state police that he was connect ed with the case in any way. Nell son, who was a pioneer in the avia- tion industry two decades or more ago, is said to have worked on the distllling plant as mechanic, but whether he had any other connection with it or not could not be learned today. The local police professed to know nothing of the next move and Nelson and Gondolfo will be for mally charged and arraigned in court, or merely held for further questioning.

Suggestion that a course in invest ments be introduced into the pub lie schools will be made at me et- ing of the school board this after noon by Committeeman Joseph M. Ward.
 MT. Ward has discussed the sub- ject with Superintendent s. H. Holmes and the latter is said to have agreed that the project would be for the benefit of the children.
 New Britaipas an industrial city, has always prepared as carefully as possible, for the future of it's children, believing that the majori- ty of them would be connected in some way with industry" MT. Ward said this afternoon. But we have never taught them to invest their money. Thrift is advocated but nothing has been said on the sub- ject of investments after the ac- emulation of money by thrift.
 No Text Books Available
 When I suggested the introduce ton of a course on investments to MT. Holmes he agreed with me that it was deserving of consideration but he also said that at present there are no books on the subject suitable for the minds of children. It is my idea that the absence Of textbooks could be balanced by a series of lectures to pupils in the high school and in the two upper grades of the junior high schools.
 T would like to see group Of men representative of the invest ment world brought together to consider the matter. We could have men from banks and other instltu- tions which concentrate on invest ments and we might gain from them ideas on how the project
