J0bLESS MAY CUT
 WATERSHED TREES
Mayor Quigley Considers Pro-
 feet to Provide Winter Fuel
AWAITS WATSON'S RETURN
Users Must Provide Owns TranSpOr- tation Facilities if Plan is Adopted -EXecuti,e Suggests Group Use of Hired Trucks.

Trees that are of no use on the city's acreage in Burlington, Vol colt and Shuttle Meadow where the water supply is concentrated, may be cut down and used for firewood, Mayor Quiglcy said today, and it is possible also that the same privilege may be extended on the city's parks where there are some dead trees. Before finally sanctioning the mat ter, however, the mayor will confer with Chairman James J. Watson of the board of water commissioners when he returns from trip next week.
 Some time ago. the mayor said, Superintendent Clyde Ellingwood of the park department proposed that the dead trees in the parks be cut down by unemployed men and this week the state forestry department made public, through letters to the heads of the city governments about the state. a similar plan applicable to the dead wood in the state for ests.
 Today Mayor Quigley was ap- preached by a man who wanted per mission to take this means of pro- viding himself with wood for the winter, and it is expected that many others will do likewise. The prob lem of carting the wood must be solved by the cutters themselves, the mayor said, and he offered the sug- gestion that groups arrange to use automobiles or trucks if they can do so without going to great expense. He learned of one instance of a. property owner and a tenant who intend to use the formers truck to cart the wood home after it is cut

Sake. His companion, Walter Stachalek, was booked on a charge of drunkenness and fined s7 after pleading guilty to the charge.
 The arrest of the men was brought about by complaint of someone in the neigh borhood who had heard the crash when the auto collided with the bridge. Officer James Kelly was detailed by Lieutenant Rival to investigate. When he arrived at the scene he was informed that the men had been removed to the hospital by q passing motorist

"MarrietI' Young Women

Boston, Oct. 30 R)-Ethel Kim ball, who police believe is the wom- an reported under arrest today in Cranston, R. l., has figured frequent ly in police news in New EnglanI since 1924.
 On two occasions she was arrest ed after marrying young women, while posing as a man. and was ar rested on at least two other occa- sions for posing as the husband of women.
 The two most notorious cases in which she figured involved her mar riages in Boston on November 23, 1921, to Louise M. Aechtler, of Som erville, and in New Britain, Conn.,, on March r, 1924, to Pearl Davis.

Ancona, Senigallia and Other Villages Hit-20 Dead and 100 Hurt In Latter Place Panic Results as Houses Tot ter Under Quake
Death and Injury Totals Expected to Mount Rapidly as Unheard From Areas Report Soldiers Rushed to Scene Relief Work Begun.

Ancona Italy, Oct. 30 (P)-Twenty- seven persons were known to be dead and more than 200 injured by an earthquake that shook the Adri- atic coast this morning. It was be- lieved that casualties in towns un- heard from at mid day would ma terially increase the totals.
 There were 20 dead and more than 100 injured in the town of Senigallia on the coast and five dead and upwards of 50 injured in the province of Marche, which includes the city of Ancona.
 Villages in the western part of the province had not been heard from at noon. It was there the authori- ties felt the toll might have been increased.
 Nearly Every House Damaged
 Practically every house in this city of more than 50,0G0 habitants was damaged to some extent. It was considered remarkable that there had been so comparatively few fatalities.
 Among the towns reporting in juries and damage were Osimo, Cas- telfidaro Montesicuro, Candi Di An coma, Falconara, Castel Ferretti, Fi- lottrano, Orsania. Loreto, Ostra, Belvedere, Monsanvito, Morravalda, Fano, Mondolfo, Costanzo, Montelu- pone and Civilanova.
 Detachments of the sixth infantry were sent to each place.
 The main railroad line between Ancona and the north was not in- terrupted.
 At least 25 persons were on the official list of dead with two others in isolated sections.
 Official figures at mid-afternoon placed the injured at nearly 200. The ministry of the interior said every effort was being made to reach the isolated towns with re- lief It was anticipated that a round up of figures would materially aug ment totals.
 The earthquake struck shortly after s a. m. The tremors lasted 20 minutes. Seni-Gallia, like Ancona. suffered heavy damage to property. Hardly 8 house escaped. Center in Adriatic

"ALarried" in This City

Chased as one of the queerest cases ever heard before the New Britain city court Ethel Kimball, alias James Wilson," was arrested in Hartford on April 10, 1924, and turned over to the New Britain po- lice to face perjury charges. Miss kimball at the time of her trial here was sentenced to five months in jail for perjury in obtaining the narriage license on which she married" Pearl A. Davis, alias Aubrey Pearl Hill, while her bride" received 30 days jail sen- tence. Both appealed the convic- tions.
 Nattily dressed as man, Miss lkimball appeared in court to defend herself in the case, apparently try ing to assume mannsh gestures and manner. She pleaded not guilty and told the court in detail of her Hove affair with Miss Davis.
 Obtain Marriage License On March 17, 1924, the couple ap- peared before City Clerk Thompson and asked for marriage license. Unsuspecting, the clerk issued the license on the information given him. The couple were married inn mediately afterward by Rev. Dr. George W. C. Hill of the South Con- gregational church. Rev. Mir. Hill later identified the couple in the Hartford police court when they ap- peared for preliminary hearing be- fore being brought to New Britain.
 MT. Thompson at the time of the trial declared that his only suspi- cion of the "bridegroom-to-b be" was that "he" had a very effeminate voice. The coupled had arrived at city hall in a large. expensive car, however, and a chauffeur who drove them to the place happened to enter at the office and addressed the bridegroom" as MT. Wilson," al laying his suspicious.
 Miss Kimball, or MT. Wilson, gave her age as 39, occupation real estate broker, and address as Roxbury, Mass. Miss Davis said she was 45. gave her occupation as housekeeper, and said she lived at 60 Charter Oak place, Hartford.
 Often Wears Mems Clothing
 Police at the time of the local case discovered that Miss Kimball is well known in police circles in Bos- ton and nearby cities. She has been arrested near and in Boston several times for masquerading as man. She was arrested in Lexington,

 With English Representative WORDS HEARD PLAINLY
Arno Schubert and David Swanson Call, First From This City, Put Through in Exactly 50 Minutes.

New Britain talked with Europe this morning for the first time when a telephone call from the New Brit ain Machine Co.,, was put through to London, England. This initial transatlantic call linking the Hard ware City with the Old World, thrilled all concerned in it as they realized that the voice of a man thousands of miles away was being heard as plainly as if he were only q few feet away.
 The transatlantic conversation took place between Arno Schubert, assistant salesmanger of the New Britain Machine Co.,, and David o. Swanson, a representative of the company stationed in London.
 Due to the importance of the business to be transacted, Mr. Schu- bert and company officials decided 10 use the transatlantic wire. The call was first given to the office op- orator and she in turn gave the number to the local exchange. The call was immediately relayed to the transatlantic operator at New York city at 10:20 o'clock.
 Connected In 50 Minutes
 The New York operator started 10 flash the London operator miles away and at 11:10 o'clock, exactly 50 minutes after the call left the New Britain Machine shop office, connections were made with this city. MT. Schubert, who was con- siderably thrilled by his experience, was able to hear MT. Swanson very plainly. The local exchange report ed that the call had been successful iE every way.
 Mr. Schubert and MT. Swanson talked for 13 minutes and at no time had any trouble in hearing each other. The price of the call will amount to about $130, an average of $10 minute, it is reported. Offi- cials at both the telephone and Ma chine companies were enthusiastic over the success of the call, as it creates a new era in local manufac- turing operations, practically all of which have foreign offices.
