ANTIQUE SWINDLER
 MAKES NO DEFENSE
Max Katz Fined S25 After Plea of Nolo.-Parents Present
 In Court
Taken to East Providence for
 Arraignment

Max katz, antique swindler. has settled with the law of Connecticut for his fraud operations. Those who were victimized by the smoothly talk ing youth have received their prop erty hack. In the city court. Satur- day morning. Ratz. through his counsel. Attorney Louis Woisard of Danielson. entered a plea of nolo to the complaint. The allegation was that he had received an antique table from Miss Nellie Stone of Putnam. ostensibly as loan. and that he had failed to return the table.
 After he had told Judge Geissler the facts. concluding that all goods taken had been returned and that the people were satisfied, Proseeut- ing Attorney Johnson asked Attorn- ey Wo'sard to make a statement. katz's lawyer said that he thought that fine of $25 and costs would meet the ends of justice. In this Attorney Johnson concurred. He ad- ded that Katz did not get along at home and that his parents had about given him up. However. when he got into trouble his father and mother, who were in court. had come for ward with money and were willing to have him come home as he had promised to live an honest life in the future
 Includes Board
 Judge Geissler imposed the fine of S25 and added costs of $19.40, in cluding nine days board in Brook lyn iail at fifty cents a day.
 After the defendant had left the court room Attorney Johnson re- turned and said, "Ratz is on the way to East Providence to answer simil- ar charges there"
 katz operated by appearing at a home where there was woman alone and asking about antiques. If shown one that appealed to his fancy he would ask for the privilege of talk ing it for five hours that photo graph or copy might be made of it. For the loan he paid S5 or Si0. The piece taken in Putnam was val ued by the owner at sl50. making it apparent that profits were large when the swindle was successful.

NOTICE

To all it may concern
If the person in public service
who wrote Miss Southall the anony-
nous letter will be man enough to
come and explain to her face what
he means, she may be able to
answer his question and also ex-
plain some things to him about her
position.
She cannot think IF any man in
public service in Stanton who
could be so unmanly as to write
an anonymous letter, and then on
a piece of an old envelope. She
has always thought that men in
public service in Staunton were
gentlemen, and there was nothing
harmful to say about them. She is
at home, 191 Tams Street, and will
be pleased to confer with the Man
in Public Service on the subject he
feels himself aggrieved.

(Port-Au-Prince Hayti-). (CNS)- The
women of Hayti prafer to be moved
down with their men by American ma
chine guns rather than submit to the
rule of president elected by the appoint
i've Council of State, declared Madame
Brun Ricot with flashing eyes when she
appeared before the Hoover investigat-
ing commission, representing the patri-
otto association of Haytian women.
Turn your machine guns on the women
she said sharply, her eyes flashing. In
the hearts of the women are encrusted
the feelings of husbands and sons. We
know they have decided to die. All Hay
tian women share this sentiment. You
bands and son, but we would not aban-
don out men.
Madame Rcot was followed by several
other outstanding citizens who urged
the commission to ask the American
government to declare it would refuse
to reconize any president named by
the Council of State. Such action, it
was held, would block President Louis
Borno's plan to have the council APP
pointed and controlled by him, choose
his successor on April IA.
Unless the Council is unsurpassed, the
oppositionists warned, theHaytians are
ready for 3arifice,' of the nature sug-
gested by Madame Rcot. They declared
that popular sentiment is so hostile to
to the Council of state that everyone
would be willing to be killed rather
than continue "the farce of rule by
President who elects himself, makes
the laws and reappoints himself.
Madame Ricot's statement came in an
swer to question by the commissioners
as to whether president elected by
the Council would be acceptable to her
association. She electrified the COM
missioners by her reply.
