another grand old lady Of the stage.
Mrs. Martin goes back to the good
old days when actors trooped. And
she has not forgotten the art of
acting.
She walks away with this show
and no one in the cast catches up
with her. The play itself is just a
light comedy concerning a family
quarrel. It is Just one quarrel after
another with grandmother making
matters worse and then righting
everything by her plumbers.
Freddie Sherman comes to the
front as Cyril, a youngster in the
family, who is always borrowing.
It is just his sort of a role and he
misses no chances in landing his
comedy punches.
Walter Davis last night at times
seemed to creep out Of his part, but
time will correct that. Uncle Dud-
ley has lot Of business" which Davis
has not given him yet.
Others in the cast are Jane
Wheatley, Edna Severy, Lulie Sim
mons, Donald Woods and Dick FL
lott.
And no one will blame me, not
those of the cast, when I state that
it is Mrs. Martin, bless her, who
walks away with all the honors.

OEPORTED WOMAN MAY
NEED CONGRESS- AID
Mrs. Lillian Larch Case Has
Aroused Widespread Interest.

BIZ United Press
WASHINGTON, May 5.-If the
government decides to readnit Mrs.
Lillian Larch, native-born widow of
q Canadian, who was depoyted to
Canada recently from Detroit, it
may require an act of congress to
accomplish it, it appeared today.
The case has aroused widespread
interest due to the fact that Mrs.
Larch and her four children, set
over the frontier with her, were
destitute, and also to the unusual
circumstances surrounding the de-
portation.
Under a recent act of congress a
woman who marries an alien may
regain her citizenship with little
trouble by taking an oath of al
legiance before a federal court. Mrs
Larch was not given this oppor-
tunity.

VXTEEKS Of search have failed to
w reveal the whereabouts of the
original copy of House Concurrent
Resolution II, which perpetuated
the state tax commission for two
more years, introduced by Repre-
sentative John F. White Dem, In
dianapolis).
The resolution was seen last when
it was turned over to Claude Phil
lips senate file clerk. Where the
resolution went from there is I'M
known, although there is a strong
suspicion that it may have been for
gotten in a coat pocket.
n II
If the purpose of aiding in dis
appearance Of the resolution was to
keep it from becoming effective,
then the person responsible is unac-
quainted with the legislative rules
concerning q concurrent resolution.
A bill must be enrolled after pas
sage, signed by the heads of both
houses and the Governor, to become
an act, but a concurrent resolution
need only be adopted by both houses
and spread Of record on the journal.
The house journal shows that the
resolution was introduced by White
on March and adopted that day
by voice vote. According to Leland
Fishback, senate secretary, the jour
nal shows it was adopted by voice
vote on March 4, by that body and
written into the proceedings.
From there no trace Of the reso-
luton can be found, although Fish
back remembers turning it over to
the file clerk.
II Il
Farm leaders became unnecessar-
lily alarmed when they learned that
the resolution was gone, for, through
continuance Of the tax committee
they hope to bring sufficient pres
surt to bear upon the 1888 Iegisla-
ton to effect passage of corporate
and personal income tax measures
Since learning of the legislative
rules concerning concurrent resolu-
tons, the farm bureau lobbyists are
giving the person responsible for the
disappearance Of the copy the we'll

All the blood in the office was in one large pool under the body and at some distance from the desk on which the telephone was located, said Cor rigan. In addition, the bullet was found under Gilyard's body, indicat- ing to investigators he had been shot as he lay on his back on the floor.
 Ten negroes, arrested and held since the day of Gilyard's death, will be released immediately, au- thorities announced.
 The first selectman's widow, in formed of the coroner's announce ment, declared she would "never ac- cent a verdict of suicide" She re- iterated belief her husband was shot by the negro gangsters he had sought to "clean up."
 The suicide theory had been ad- vanced first by Seymour policemen, friends of Gilyard. but the coroner had denied there was the slightest indication of anything but murder.
 Coroner Corrigan to-day was seeking the full motive for Gilyard's act. The official was due to have met a $1,20O note yesterday and had other financial worries. inves- tigators learned. He was reported to have been heavily insured.

He Telephoned The
 Fake Murder Scene
(Continued from Page D

Gilyard, virtual mayor of Sey- mour and popular among the better element of the town as an anti crime crusader, took advantage oi l. circumstances to build up murder fclues, said the coroner. He had been prominent in the prosecution of negro gangsters who attacked aged Charles Buckingham last March. Four of the six who went to trial through his efforts were discharged. Therefore it seemed highly credible when Gilyard an- nounccd he had received threaten ing letters from the negroes.
 One night Gilyard came home from an Elks' lodge meeting with a bullet hole in the side of his au- tomobile. He said he had been am- pushed. That incident was followed by receipt of another note warning wen get you next time."
 Tuesday morning Miss Edith Nayack, central telephone operator here, received a call from Gilyard's office. The first selectman. in a la bored tone, told her he had been shot by three colored men who got away" and asked her to send police and a doctor.
 They found him slumped on the floor, dead from a .45 calibre bullet fired from his own revolver. Inves- tigators found a .22 calibre revolver on the floor not far from the larger gun and dug three .22 calibre slugs out of the wall. A
 As they reconstructed the scene. the negroes had caught Gilyard un- aware, shot him with the small gun and then beaten him to his own re- volver. But Gilyard had done all the shooting, said Coroner Corrigan. He fired the bullets into the wall for the sake of realism" feined dying agony over the telephone and then shot himself through the heart, according to the coroner.
 Gilyard could not have stood up to telephone, Corrigan pointed out. for blood would have streamed down the front of his clothes, and there was blood only near the

The club is composed of a group of enterprising young men who are serving as ap- prentices in the Waterbury Manu- featuring company and are headed by Domenic Davino, president.
 In charge of last nights social which consisted of wrestling. box ing, singing. musical solos. were Norton Leonard, Kenneth Campbell, Joseph Cicchetti, Joseph Carroll and Domenic Davino.

These men are supporting over 4,OOO women and children. These families will be cut off from all income shortly after June list unless further plans are made to finance their employment.
 ''It Is my opinion that the workers of the city do not be. grudgc the small amount inc volvcd in a one per cent dednc- ton and that they will gladly renew their pledges if given a chance to express their opinion"
 Moore Also Makes Denial.
 Statement of Thomas F. Moore secretary of the board of park com is as follows:
 '"Ihe idea that the unempIoy- mcnt fund is being continued and promoted for the benefit of tho Municipal Golf Course is ab- surd and I ann sure that the Un- employment Committee would not entertain such suggestion for . moment, their primary and sole object being to relieve the need and distress which ex. ist. The golf course was initiat. cd to take advantage of such available labor assistance as could be obtained at this time, and Waterbury will build $9O, ,OOO.OO golf course for about Onc-third of that cost, chiefly because of this assistance. Again, work at the golf course, being in the nature of grading, Is not as strenuous as other types of work and lends itself to the condition of the men. Even if unemployment assist ancc were to cease entirely, the city would have sufficient funds to complete the course from the $5O,0OO bond issue which has been authorized, of which 1t is planned to use about $3O,OOO or $S5,OOO at this time and re- tain the balance for extension of the course if and when it proves . popular and profitable under. taking, as 1t should.
 ''It is regrcttable that such an impression was given for it is farthest from the facts. The Unemployment Committee has had no interest in the golf course except as an outlet for the employment of men who need work"
The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-05-14

Emphatic denials from William M. Harris, chairman of the mayors relief committee and Attorney Thomas F. Moore, secretary of the board of park commissioners, are contained in statements made to the Waterbury Democrat relative to a story in the Waterbury Republican n that the renewal of pledges to aid the unemployed were being stim- ulated for the purpose of promoting the municipal golf course work at the expense of the needy and those who contribute pledges. "It is suf- fcient to say that the committee is interested in the golf course to the extent that it forms an outlet for our labor," said Mir Harris.
 He also stated that the informa- tion and figures in the article in last nights Democrat relative to condi- tions in the city are correct. Hun dreds are in need of work and aid as evidenced in the number that are approaching charitable organiza- tions.
 Attorney Moore states that it is regrettable that an impression that the fund is being continued for the benefit of the golf course as there is sL $OV,VUV OOuu 1oSuCs pvO,VVV oh which is available to conduct the work.
 Harris Emphatically Denies Story
 MT Harris's statement follows:
 "As chairman of tho Mayors
 Relief Committee my attention
 has been called to the refer
 cncc in the morning paper to
 the construction of the Munich
 pal Golf Course. It is sufficient
 to say that the committee Is in-
 tercsted in the golf course to
 the extent that it forms an out
 let for our labor. Of course
 this is only one of eighteen pro.
 jects in which our committee is
 interested and although the
 largest, yet less than one.quar.
 ter of our men arc employed on
 it. It Is unfortunate for the
 thought of the community to be
 led Of on . tangent at this par
 ticular time. Let's get back to
 the truth and the facts.
