TEMPERATURE UP
DESPITE PROMISE
Relief, With Thermometer at
70, Seen for Tonight by
Weather Bureau.

Cooler weather and fair chance"
for thundershower late this afternoon
was predicted today by the Weather
Bureau here.
Weather officials gave out the COM
forting assurance that the mercury
would drop to 70 degrees tonight and
that tomorrow would be cool and ex-
hilarating, breaking the record-smash-
ing heat wave which has gripped the
Capital for the last 10 days.
The promise of cool weather was the
only solace the average Washingtonian
could find early this afternoon. At
2:30 o'clock the official temperature
reading was 96 degrees, five degrees
warmer than yesterdays maximum. The
weather man says the temperature
might rise approximately two degrees
more during the afternoon.
Crowds continued to hang around the
weather kiosk on Pennsylvania avenue,
watching the little needle zigZag and
climb. At 2:30 O'Clock the kiosk read
ing was 103 degrees, and spectators
were predicting the needle would touch
los degrees during the afternoon.
A mercurial thermometer in the same
booth was registering one degree warm
err than the little mechanical jigger.
There will be no return of high tenn
peratures during the next week." the
official forecaster added, and fastened
to explain that this does not necessarily
mean that the heat wave will come
back at the end of that brief period of
respite to plague Washington. A week
ahead, it was said, is about as far as the
Weather Bureau cares to predict
Death Laid to Heat.
One death traceable to the heat was
reported in Warrington today despite
the lowered temperature. Former Rep
resentative Charles r. Davis of Mime
sofa, 80 years old, died at his home, 1854
Monroe street.
Before thundershoWerS come to the
relief of still sweltering city, the mer-
curry will advance to about 80 degrees
or lust a trifle lower than the maximum
of 81 yesterday. Washingtonians awoke
this morning early to find cool breeze
stirring, and by 10 o'clock the official
thermometer was registering 81 degrees,
or 8 degrees lower than at that time
Yesterday. The humidity at 8 o'clock
was 80 per cent, it was said, or points
lower than the percentage which yes
terday added so much to the general
discomfort.
Market men coming into the city
from Virginia early today reported
severe rainstorm last night between
Fredericksburg and Richmond. The
Virginia capital registered rainfall of
az inches, but nowhere else in the
state did rain occur last night, the
Weather Bureau reported. In Mary
land the drought that has caused much
suffering remained unbroken.
II the rain materializes this after
noon there will be particular rejoicing
in the nearby Maryland communities
where the water supply is still cur
tailed after 10 days of economizing.
THE Weather Bureau stressed. how

DETROIT, July 29.-Police vice
squads yesterday added AZ to the scores
Of speakeasies, breweries and gambling
houses which have been raided since
the killing last Wednesday night Of
Jerry Buckley, radio orator of Station

The raids have been what is known

gone to places known as saloons and
gambling houses. wrecked the furni-

These ak raids, conducted by the re-
Gently revived precinct vice squads,
clamped the lid on numerous beer
sellers and experienced observers say
that Detroit is more nearly dry" now
than at any time in its history.
The precinct squads were recreated
by Police Commissioner Thomas G.
Wilcox during the excitement which
followed the killing Of Buckley and the
recall of Mayor Charles Bowles. In
taking this step, Wilcox abolished the
central vice squad, which was one Of
the principal police policies of Bowles.

SHAPIRO INDICTED
ON TWO CHARGES
Grand Jury Acts Against
Head of Real Estate Firm
on Two Complaints.

Jacob Shapiro, president of the Jo-
seph Shapiro Realty Co., was indicted
today by the grand jury on two charges
of false pretense in connection with the
sales of real estate, said to have been
encountered by hidden trusts" The
complaining witnesses are Walter Fris-
bic, a Government clerk, who bought
premises 1718 Irving street, and is said
to have discovered an alleged hidden
trust of $4,000" on the property after
he had paid $500 in cash and second
deed of trust for $6,45O; and DR.. w.
Calhoun FUR, who bought premises
It's Hobart street, said to have on it
a hidden trust" for $4,000.
Shapiro is at liberty on bail OF $10,-
600. awaiting a hearing before United
States Commissioner Turnage.
According to Assistant United States
Attorney Renah F. Camalier, who pre-
scented the cases to the grand jury,
nine other similar transactions were
presented to the grand jurors, but they
are not prepared to announce the dis
position in these cases.
The indictment in the Frisbie case
charges that April 8, 1928, Shapiro did
falsely pretend and represent to Walter
S. Frisbie and his wife, Mae M. Frisbie,
that he owned lot 5 in square 1888,
subject only to a first trust of $4,000
and "by color and means of which
false pretenses and Misrepresentation
on April 80, 1928, did obtain from the
Frisbies $500 in money and written
obligation for the payment of $6,45O,
with intent to defraud them" The in
dictment declares that the Frisbies
turned over the cash and written obli-
CATION or note to Shapiro relying upon
the false pretenses, which they be-
lieved to be true and being deceived
thereby" The indictment also sets
forth the fact to be that Shapiro knew
that the property was subject to another
and additional trust for $4,000.
Furr Case Similar.
In the Furr case similar alleged false
pretenSeS are set forth, and the charge
Is made that Shapiro knew that there
was another trust of $4,000 when he
represented he was the owner of the
Hobart street property, subject only to
first trust. There was no cash pay
ment in this case, it was stated.
Robert E. j. Whalen, local lawyer,
is charged with the embezzlement of
$4,000 from Miss Annie j. Hurley of
Hyattsville, a client, in an indictment
returned today by the grand jury. The
indictment is in 10 counts. five charg-
ing the incorporation of five differ
ent sums of money belonging to Miss
Hurley and the other five charging the
embezzlement of checks for the same
amounts covered in the first five counts.
The first count alleges that Whalen,
while attorney for Miss Hurley, had in
his possession $4,000 December IL, 1927,
which he secreted with intent to APP
propriate to his own use. The second
count deals with the alleged conversion
of $4,000 June 4, 1928. In the third
count the lawyer is said to have mis-
applied $1,000 December Is, 1928. The
fourth count covers an alleged defal-

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, July 29.-Officials Of
the Amtorg Trading Corporation were
headed for Washington today to seek
the lifting of the embargo against
Soviet pulpwood.
Barring of two vessels here was the
first application of the embargo i'm
posed by the Treasury Department on
the ground that forced labor was used
in loading
Peter A. Bogdanov, head of AM
tory, Soviet trade agency in this coun-
try, warned that curtailment of i'm
ports of Soviet products would bring
with it corresponding reduction in
Russian purchases here. He denied
there was any justification for any of
the embargoes demanded on Soviet
products.
40 Ships En- Route to u. s.
The two ships denied entry were the
Grelisle, a British vessel with a load
consigned to Garcia & Diaz, New York
shipping agents, and the Christian Bors,
a Norwegian ship, whose cargo was con-
signed to Amtorg A third ship carry
ing pulpwood, the Queen Olga. which
arrived before imposition of the en-
barge, was permitted to discharge her
cargo. A feet of 40 ships Is en- route
here with Soviet pulpwood.
In a statement issued in behalf Of
Amtorg, Bogdanov said, 1.-The statements
that Soviet imports constitute a menace
to American industry is not warranted
by the facts" Soviet imports. he said,
consist almost entirely of such products
that the United States either does not
produce at all or in insufficient guam
titles"

Commenting on protests against
Soviet trade by Matthew Vol, vice
president of the American Federation
of Labor, Bogdanov said Vol, had
sought to establish business relations"
with Amtorg three days after publica-
ton of the "Whalen documents" which
linked Amtorg with Communist propa-
ganda when as president Of the Union
Labor Life Insurance Co., he wrote to
B. @. Grafpen, an official Of Amtorg,
named as a propaganda in the docu-
ments, soliciting the insurance business

details that should worry no one. They should be gone into thoroughly now without delay, so that the Legis- lature in 1881 can have before it a complete annexation bill to be pass ed into law. We feel confident that the city of New Britain will never regret the addition of two such natural suburbs as Maple Hill and Elm Hill. It is remarkable indeed that they have been left to roam alone as parts of the town of New ington.
 Now suppose no action is taken. What will happen is that in a short time Hartford, afflicted by metro politan mania, will gobble up New ington, including Maple Hill, and Elm Hill. Hartford, we feel certain, will not hesitate a moment over the incidental financial problems"
 New Britain cannot afford to hold back in this matter. Its prestige and reputation for progress is at stake. It has never lacked courage to pro- ceed in the carrying out of mani- fest duty to itself and it's neighbors. It should not lack the courage now.

 One belief was that he was seized with one of his frequent spells of melancholia and jumped to commit suicide. Another theory was that he fell from the window while try ing to get fresh air after feeling a sudden dizziness.
 Persky. former Yale student and brother of City Corporation Counsel Samuel A. Persky, was killed instantly when his body struck the roof of the Quinnipiac club.
 While Persky's body was hurt ling to death at the rear of the hotel. his wife and mother waited impatiently for him in front of the hotel They lived at the Taft

Arrested After Near Collision
 With Motorcycle Policeman

Leo Jagloski of 27 Lyman street paid fine of s100 this morning and heard execution of a 60 days jail sentence suspended after he had pleaded guilty in police court to the charge of driving an auto- mobile while under the influence of liquor.
 Hhe was arrested yesterday after noon about 2:30 by Officer David Doty who barely escaped being run down on his motorcycle on Wash ington street.
 When Attorney Monkiewicz, coun- sel for Jagloski, stated to the court that his client had never before been before the court a short re- cess was ordered by Judge Sake to investigate. The mans record card showed that he had been arrested ir November, 1920, and had stood
New Britain herald., 1930-10-08

trial in the police court for the same offense.
 At that time he was fined s25 and costs and the case was re-opened in January, 1921, at winch time the charge against him was nolled.
 Upon this discovery Judge Sake remarked that Jagloski would have to be considered as first offender and imposed the minimum fine.
 Driver Overloaded Truck
 Clyde MAnnill of 20 Royal street, East Haven, was arrested at 7:30 o'clock this morning when he was discovered by Officer Hayes and Doty driving an overloaded truck was granted a continuance until Thursday morning upon request of his employer. who telephoned to the local police during the court session.
 Mannill was driving a truck on which were supplies for several large chain stores.
 Drive Without Licenses
 Gordon Whitcomb, IT of 46 Lau- rel street, Hartford, was fined s5 when he pleaded guilty to the charge of operating a motor vehicle without having obtained drivers license. He was arrested on West Main street last night by Officer Thomas Blanchette whose attention was attracted by the course of the car which he was driving. When he caught up with the car he found the youth changing places with an- other man who was in the car. After questioning the boy and re- ceiving the answer that he was not under instruction he placed him un- der arrest.
 Bertram Arbour of 56 Whiting street was also assessed the s5 for driving without a license after he had been arrested last night by Off, fcer Joseph Curry.
 Louis Casertano of Town Farm road, Cheshire, was discharged on the count of driving without a license when he presented his cer- tihcate to the court this morning. He was fined s5 on the charge of failing to display the maximum ca- pacity and speed of the truck he was driving.
 Casertano was arrested yesterday morning by Officer David Doty as the result of a complaint lodged at headquarters that a man was ped ding fruit in the vicinity of High street without having a vendors license

TIME FOR ACTION ON MAPLE AND ELM HILL

No desire by New Britain to in- . flate its population total through the unnecessary addition of contiguous municipalities turks behind the movement to incorporate Maple Hill : and Elm Hill within the city limits. /. The wish to be added to the city comes from the. suburban towns themselves; and these, be it added, are largely populated by former New Britainites who continue to possess a . loyalty to the city and would be pleased to be numbered among its inhabitants A large part of them are employed here or naturally think of New Britain when shopping, and their children attend the local schools.
 No two municipalities anywhere have more in common with the near est city than have Maple Hill and Elm Hill with New Britain.
 When the question of annexation was brought up recently we unhesi- tatingly seconded the proposal despite the fact that certain officials at the time suggested that annexa- ton would create an expensive prob len, to the city. This problem is one Of extending city conveniences, in- cluding police and fire protection. ~ This angle didn't impress us then and it doesn't do so now. The city is constantly on the alert to add i'm proved realty to the grand list so as to increase its taxable income, and 2 frequently projects are started costing money-with no other ob- ject in view than to stimulate the value of property or it's improve ment.
 Here are two towns that are smil-
 
 Ing vistas on the landscape, They are | delight to the eye to all way farers between New Britain and Hartford. They realize fully that their future lies with New Britain rather than with Hartford, and are virtually demanding entry into the city 50 as to share the advantage oi such annexation. They surely should not be rebuffed merely because il will cost the city little money tc have them part of it. Hartford, we feel certain, would not hesitate fol any similar reason.
 Mayor Quigley seemingly has beer fully converted 10 the idea of an nexation despite the few technica difficulties regarding splicing the town debt of Newinston and sucf financial accoutrements. These art
