 sBefeCe a court Of equity can stay the hands of police officers and off. cials of state courts charged with the enforcement of criminal statutes, it must aflirmatively appear that the property which the pcti- tioner is praying the court to protect is not only legal in itself. but also that it is not with his knowledge used as d medium of fraud. espe- cially where the aid of a federal Equity court is sought. The petition CT claims that unless an interlocu- tory injunction issue. he will be de- prive1 of his property without due process of law. But it seems 10 me that the petitioner is seeking the aid of this court to prevent due process of law in the state courts, where an adequate remedy already show no illegality.

 'One told me how to make a telescope. During the long winter months when we were showed in monkeyed around with astronomical things. I even made a rude tele- scope, grinding my own lenses from directions out of this book.
 Sisters Prophecy True
 T guess my kid sister sized me up right in the high school prophecy St Burdette, Kansas, for she had mo discovering a new world.
 One day last fall l just decided was going to do what l wanted to do most in the world. l had al ways been interested in Lowell Observatory at Flagstaff, I had read a lot about what they had done there. So I just wrote 10 Dr. Slpher snd asked for job. telling him I would do any kind of work. And they put me 10 work on the dome in which l later took tho picture which revealed this new planet.

 Liquor in Connecticut

Hartford, March 14 (UP)-Its still safe in Connecticut to man. ufacture liquor for personal use at home if one watches out for the federal agents.
 Superior Court Judge Newell Jennings made this clear while instructing a jury considering the case of Joseph Jvanauskas of West Hartford. charged with manufacturing liquor with intent to sell.

and the Franco-Italian problem.
 Secretary of State Stimson, who shared the task of pulling the con- ference from the brink of deadlock with Prime Minister Macdonald yesterday. today was assuming an even more important role in the di- rection of the negotiations.
 A meeting between the sccre- tary and Foreign Minister Grandi of Italy this afternoon featured re- newed energies of the conference. The Italian foreign minister later will see Foreign Minister Briand of France.
 From all directions pressure was being brought to bear on the Fran co-Italian deadlock. The British prime minister yesterday pulled the conference from the brink of a precipice, not as head of the British delegation but as chairman of the conference charged with keeping the machinery going, and today Sec rotary Stimson was hard at work on the negotiations.
 Meetings Have Vast Significance Today's talks may have a Hateful bearing on the conference although no official meetings of the dclega- tions have been arranged. Prime Minister Macdonald plan ned to go 10 Chequers this after noon and tomorrow will attend the annual British Scottish rugby game in London. Sunday has been set aside for an important conference with Premier Tardieu Of France at which the British and French states men will review the whole confer ence position.
 The renewed life of the confer eicc was signalized today by thu ap- pointment of a new techhlcal con- mittee 10 study what changes may be required in the rules under the Washington treaty for scrapping old ships.

Plans For Wcek-tnJ

IIOnuOn. MdrCll HE-A supreme and possibly last attempt will be made over the coming weekend 10 bring the five power naval confer ence out of the stalemate into which it has fallen and find the way for effecting a five power cruiser limi- tation treaty which will not involve such high figures as in realty to smack of q building program agree ment.
 A new, and possibly all important factor, will be lent the conference Saturday with the arrival of Andre Tardicu, French premier. for the | first time in nearly a month.
 | Intensive efforts to lead the con- | ference out of it's difficulties began | yesterday. They eliminated after a round of almost continuous private meetings between delegates in a statement by Premier Macdonald that he was encouraged by the days S events. Aristidc Briand, French for eign minister. jovially announced also that he was not at all discour- aged. and that he had been misun- derstood when quoted as saying that he was leaving the conference. Grandi Gives Statement ! A new approach to the problem presented by the French demands was seen in the part player here yes terday by the Italian delegation 1 head. Dino Grandi. Grandi was ask cd, it was understood, for q state ncnt of Italian naval demands cx- pressed in figures, rather than in the less tangible parity with any other continental powrr.'
 The strategy of this move was that if the Italians could be induced to set some figure sufficient for their needs. there might be an added in ducemcnt to the Paris government to slash it's estimate of 7@4. .O00 naval tons by the end of 1886.
 There were indications that the French have assumed an attitude toward these new efforts expressed in the words of a conference ob- server: We must have either the l tonnage we believe We need, or the security pact which you won't give us; we are waiting most respectfully [ for some proposal which will show Us a way out Of the difficulty.' 1 American Japanese negotiations i on a big cruiser ratio still arc being considered by those delegations al- though their negotiations arc some what in the background owing to the bigger issues of the conference. If was understood from reliable sources that compromise virtually has been reached but is dependent on the out l come of the French impasse.

 Three persons were named by the deputy sheriff as keepers of the place and business has been con- ducted there. Two of the keepers Miss Anna Bristol and Charles Schultz, reside in New Britain.
 No Clues Found
 Constable Fuller said today that he had no clues to the identity of the person or persons responsible for the destructiv.> fire. He could devise no reason for the action. He stated that he had learned, not definitely, that the place had been open as late as o'clock this morn ing but he had had no time to inter- view those present in the building at the time. He stated that he in- tended to turn .n an official report that incendiarism had been the cause of the fire and it is possible that the state police might be called in 10 investigate.
 Dog Valued at $500
 Tho German police dog that was burned to death in the fire was q valuable canine, according to per sons who knew the animal. Som. placed his worth as high as $500. The animal had apparently been chained in one of the rooms and was not discovered until his charred body was found in the ruins later today.
 No estimate of the loss was given this morning by the officials at tll scene. The building itself was |, large frame structure of two stories. Originally the plot was used as h home by George k. Macaulcy, now of New Britain. This building was destroyed by fire about eight years ago. It was not rebuilt.
 About two years later, another building was erected on the spot an.i when completed. it was called tn, Triangle Inn. Within the past two years, the ownership changed and it became known $ the Colegt Highway Inn.
 Besides the building itself all the contents of it were destroyed except ing about a dozen chairs. q few ta. 1 bles and the small partitions that separated the booths, Included ill the loss are the furnishings in the rooms, the kitchen apparatus and : other furniture.

The milk room and equipment were saved, but quantity of furniture was destroyed. The loss is covered by insurance.
 The fire was atill blazing at press time, but the wind was blowing the flames away from other nearby buildings, which were not consider cd endangered.

 Evidence "Purcly 'Hearsay"

In S1 page typewriter opinion, Judge Mott held that much of the new evidence on which the plea for new trial was partly based was purely hearsay" and was admissi- blc.
 In answering the plea that the police and the district attorneys office had withheld testimony at the trial which would have been favor able 10 the defendant, Judge Mott wrote:
 "I am unable to find that either police or the district attorneys of fee has suppressed or concealed any ing to show that the defendant was innocent of the crime"
 Edel did not call any witnesses or take the stand himself at his trial, but previously had told po- lice that the clothing and jewelry found in his room at New Haven or being worn by women to whom he had given it had been sent him by Mrs. Harrington shortly before her death.
 | At the time of the murder Edel was on probation here after con- viction on q charge of carrying a dangerous weapon. He was tried in New Haven in 1927 for the murder of John Mastriano, ir., of Meriden, Conn.,, but was acquitted.
 Several years ago Edel, who was residing in Meriden at the time. was the center of interest in the David ! Dudley murder case. Edel and Dud- ley were seen together in a Pratt street lunch car. Some time later 1 Dudley's murdered body was found near Middlefeld. Edel claimed he knew nothing of the crime. He was also prominently idcnti- 1 fled with a Cheshire bootleg racket which ended fatally for one man but again Edel knew nothing of the | killing. he said. He was tried and acquitted on this charge.
