PROUD OF HIN

Of interest to millions of Americans,
golfers and non-golfers, is the retirement
OF Robert Tyre cones Jr.,, king of the
game, from competitive golf.
With gesture as dramatic as any
match he ever Won, the popular Allan
tan yesterday announced that hereaft fter
he will moi appear IN amateur competi-
ton. and will Immediately start on the
production of number Of motion pic
lures designed to stimulate interest in
golf and to help the play Of those who
are participants in the game.
Jones craftsmanship, never even
shadoWed during all his years Of compe-
tition, comes to the forefront in his
statement announcing his Withdrawal as
an amateur.
Declaring that he is not certain that
his action in signing up for motion pie
lures is a violation of the amateur rules,
he admits that there is plenty OF room
for argument on this point. and wishing
to avoid it. has decided to withdraw from
amateur competition.
He also remarked that he has played
as an amateur, not because he considered
honest professionalism in golf as discred-
liable, but because he has had other am
bitions in life, and by playing as an anna
teur there could be no question of sub
terfuge or concealment.
With miniature war ringing around
our ears Just now over coast college foot
ball, it seems pity that those connected
with the glidiron sport cannot be as
sportsmanlike, as honest and as clean
cut about amateurism as Bobby Jones is.
He has he'd the respect of all through
his years of competition and he leaves
the amateur game an American and
sportsman of whom the country may
well be proud.

 Statement Blaming Resentment of
 Trustees for His Dismissal.
 Meriden, March 2t R)-Arthur r. Smith, supervisor of the Laundry at the Connecticut School for Boys. has severed connections with the insti- tuition, according 10 Supt. Edward S Boyd. MT. Boyd this morning con- firmed rumors to that effect but de- nied that any other employees, with the exception of Farm Supervisor James $. Peck, had been 'let go."
 Smiths discharge is believed to have been occasioned by facts brought out during the investigations at the school which arc now draw ing to Q close.
 "Quick TcmDcred'' Man
 The superintendent admitted that Smith was a quick tempered man and said that he believed the former laundry boss was to go into private business and not continue in insti- tutional work. Smith, according to the superintendent, was one of the men against whom charges had been made by present and former boy in- mates of the school.
 While discussing the situation rela- tive to the former laundry supervisor Mir. Boyd stated that he, personally, is under charges and intimated that he stands ready 10 answer for the all leged wrongful acts of his subordi- mates.
 He stated that if any of the charg- es are proven they will reflect direct ly on him as superintendent and that his official capacity is one in which it is his duty to know at all times what is going on at the school.

SAUL SUSPECTED OF
 NEW YORK SPINDLE
Sharper May Not Be Allowed to
 Return to This City
WANTED IN SCHENECTADY
Man Who Is Accused of Obtaining S8,000 Traudulcntly in New Brit ain May Be Held in New York to Answer Charges There.

Peter Saul, 3f, of Everett, Mass. who is alleged to have swindled Miss Mae NJ. Booth of Cedar street, this city, out of more than $S,0OO in stocks, bonds and cash, may not be brought here for arraignment in court for some time, it became known today when Chief W. C. Hart of the police department re- ceived a communication from the New York police, stating that Saul may be wanted in Schenectady, N. Y, and if so. it would be inadvisa ble to permit him to come to Connecticut because he might prove difficult to extradite back to New York state.
 Saul, according to the communica- ton, was arraigned in first district court, New York, on March IT, as a fugitive from justice from New Brit ain and Boston, Mass, and was held under 5000 bonds for the Boston charge and S2,500 for the New Brit ain charge, pending examination on March 26. In the meantime, an in vestigation will be made into the pos sibiltv of his being wanted in Sche- nectady.
 John Sinclair, alias John Wander burgh, who is held in New York with Saul, is wanted in Boston and Schenectady, and his bonds were fixed at $7,500 on March 17. Because the men are believed to have oper- ated together in many cities about New England, the authorities sus- pect that Saul was with Sinclair in Schenectady.
 Sergeant P. A. McAvay of the To- 1 cal detective bureau went to New | York yesterday to bring Saul back | for trial but indications are that he will return without him, because the Boston complaint may be ahead Of 1 the local one, with the possibility that Schenectady may get the alles- ed sHindler before either New Brit ain or Boston.

The machine, the property of Dr. William T. Mor- rissey of New Britain, had been taken earlier in the evening from in front of the owners home on Vine street and had been reported as stolen.
 The quartet had driven into Ebb's place 10 obtain gasoline. and while there Officer McNamee recognized the registration number as that of the car reported stolen. He saun- tered up to the machine and quer- jed the occupants as to it's owner- ship. Not satisfied with their re- plies, he informed them that he would have to take them to police headquarters.
 He attempted to enter the auto. but as he did so one of the group. allegedly Brophy, shot him from be- hind and the officer died almost in- stantly. The car sped off, one mem- Der of the quartet who had alighted, running after it and dropping his revolver as he jumped aboard.
 Captured After Gun Battle
 This weapon, found by woman on her way to work the next morn- ing. yielded fingerprints which con- tirmed the suspicious of New Brit ain police that the murder had been committed by Brophy and group of his companions. Bristol and New Britain officers went to known 'hangout" of the gang in Water bury, where Brophy came face to face with several of them and es- capped after a gun battle in which Officer William Thompson of Bris- tol narrowly escaped being hit.

COMMITTEE TOLD
 OF UNEMPLOYMENT New York Labor Head Says
 Situation in State Serious SEES POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS
Miss Perkins Says Conditions Worse Than at Any Time Since 1914- Appeals for Aid Increase - Sug- geStS Economic Study.

Washington, March 2l R}-Hold- ing unemployment conditions in New York were comparable only with those of 1914" Miss Frances Perkins, industrial commissioner of that state, today testified before a senate committee that appeals for charity had increased 200 per cent in the past six months.
 She said such an increase in ap- peals was an indication of a condi- ton that in her opinion was "strik- ing and shocking"
 First Witness Today
 Miss Perkins was the first witness as the committee resumed it's in- quiry into the unemployment situa- ton. Chairman Johnson has des- cribed the hearing as a search for the truth" about those out of work. The increase in appeals, she as- serted, represented requests from families in need as tie result of unemployment, and it does not in clude appeals from unemployable persons-those who from sickness or other causes would not be ex- pected to be employed"
 Bread lines have increased in size, Miss Perkins said. but added | that these more dramatic" evi- dences of distress were not so de- pendable as the statistics that have been collected by the labor depart ment, with which she is connected. Unemployment can be made to disappear from American industry" Miss Perkins said. We have solved other problems. The infant mortal ity rate, that seemed an act of God a few years ago, has been met, and we have stamped out scourges. I be- lieye we can reduce unemployment in our industrial structure to a de- gree at which it would be neglig- ibIe."
 Senator Couzens, republican, of Michigan, who conducted an inves- tigation of unemployment condi- tions up to January of last year. asked what could be accom- plished if federal planning agency, such as has been proposed by Senator | Wagner, democrat, New York, were set up.
 Readiness to Help Seen
 There is everywhere a disposi- tion to plan far ahead in industry responded the witness.
 Many industries, he added, were seeking to spread employment over a regular period instead of hiring a great number of workers for a brief period and then discharging them.
 Couzens interposed the comment that recently there was a confer ence here of radio manufacturers who had an output of 15,000,00C sets a year, whereas the consump- tion of this country was estimated at 3,000,000 sets.
 Miss Perkins said that evidences of suffering from ployment ir New York are even "more striking now in view of the publics present disposition to give to charity agen. cies. In 1914, she said, this was nor
