Needed Money for Trip
All this cost money and 1t was a
red letter day IN her life when
she sold a signed article to a big
London paper and got $25 for IL.
In this she said:

She went to Sir Granville Ryrie.

The very idea Of her attempt
handed him a big chuckle.
Then she sat on the doorstep Of

HENDERSON TALKS
 ON l93O PROGRESS
British Foreign Minister Gives
 International Broadcast

New York, Dec. 22 (UP)-Six events of major importance in inter- national relationships are, in the opinion of Arthur Henderson, Brit ish foreign minister, indices of the worlds marked progress toward peace and harmony during 1880.
 In an internationally broadcast speech, Henderson named the London naval conference, the Hague economic conference, the Balkan conference, the Indian round table meetings, the paratory dis armament barley at Geneva, and im- provement of conditions in China as evidences of international desire for better relationships.
 In almost the same breath, how ever, Henderson sounded a warning that unless the nations Of the world can build a structure of peace on a firm foundation, cataclysm will come upon the world which will en- gulf everything We care about in the western civilization we have in- ,herited from the past"

 Men Who Set Fire Unconcerned
Merchant Asks for Insur- ance So He Can Pay Men Who Burned Store and Hire a Lawyer.

Chicago, Dec. 22 (UP)-Four men, apparently little concerned over the deaths of two children whom they are accused of murder ing, told today how they arranged a fire in meat market so the pro- prietor could collect s3,800 insur- ance on $500 worth of equipment.
 "Can l collect the insurance 2" asked Harry Golvarg, proprietor of the shop. q need the money to hire an attorney and to pay the men who set the fire"
 Golvarg implicated Jacob Tatel- man, restaurant proprietor; Jack Rosow, a waiter in Tatelmans cafe, and Martin Borard, said to have been dupe in the case. Police were searching for an unnamed wealthy business man who set Col varg up in business and assertedly suggested the fire to get his money back.
 Funeral services were conducted today for the victims, Jerome, 5, and Homer, 4, children of Irving Israelson, whose home next door to the butcher shop was destroyed.
 Tt wasn't our fault" each of the men insisted when told of the funeral plans. We never thought the fire would spread"

 The cold also was felt in central and northern California.
 Frost was reported at Eureka, Sacramento and Paso Robles.

It asserts that since the recent Polish election campaign the position Of the Ger man minority has grown materially worse, particularly in Pomeralia.

night at the corner of South Main and Mill streets by Policeman Will liam Hayes following an accident between his automobile and one driven by William E. Beers of 37 Pearl street.
 His request through Attorney Lawrence Colon for continuance until Saturday morning was granted by the court.
 According to the police version of the accident Cassolini caused dam age to the Beers machine when he ran the latter off the road as the two were proceeding in a northerly direction on South Main street, when he suddenly turned into Mill street without first signalling his intent to do so.
 Speeds Past Five Cars
 Harold L. Birdsey of Lexington avenue, Middletown, who was arrest ed Saturday by Policeman Edward Muszynski and charged with reck- less driving in police court today pleaded not guilty and requested a continuance until December 27. The continuance was granted.
 Birdsey's arrest followed his de- lection passing five cars on South Main street at a speed alleged by the policeman to be in excess of 40 miles per hour while traffic was moving in the opposite direction.
 Frank Semus of 47 Thorniley street, charged with non-support was granted a continuance of one month by Judge Sake after a request for such disposition was made by his counsel, Attorney Charles Tamu- lonis.
 Hopes for Reconciliation
 The case of Ferdinand Ferris of 45 Curtis avenue which was scheduled to be disposed of today by Judge Sake was further continued, this time until Saturday morning.
 In suggesting the continuance Judge Sake remarked that it was his hope that the matter might be set tied by effecting a reconciliation be- tween the husband and wife for the sake Of the child involved.
 Knew Why He Was There
 Albert Lundquist, a former resi- dent of this city but of late, an in- mate of the Soldiers Home at Noro- ton furnished the court and the large gallery in attendance with con- siderable amusement during the course of his trial on a charge of drunkenness.
 When the charge was read by the clerk, and he was asked to state whether he was guilty or not be astounded the entire assemblage by stating "Of course I'm guilty or l wouldn't be here today"
 The laughter had barely subsidcd when he sent the crowd into merri- ment again by answering a question put to him by the judge as to wheth- CT he wanted to go back to the Noro- ton home by stating: DO l want to go back? I've got to go back your honor, I'm only out of there on fur lough.'
 He told the court that he had come to this city Saturday and while here had taken a few drinks. With out any hesitation however, he modi- fled his last statement to say that he had taken a whole lot of drinks" "
 After listening to the mans story and finding it hard to suppress his own mirth Judge SaXe finally dis posed of the case by ordering the man to return to his station at the Soldiers home.
