Inurance for
 State ArmOrieS
tContinued from Page 1)


 Governor Wilbur l.. Cross. The comptroller and the quartermaster clashed cn the question of insur- ance at hearing before the ap- Iropriations committee.
 The in"Jrance matter, by lorg practice :n Connecticut. has been in the hands of the comptroller. Premiums on the Armory insurance policies amount to $12.500, annually. Senator Connor declared that the law makes his department respon- sible for the maintenance of the armories and that in his opinion in- surance IS properly a maintenance matter. No records are available in the qdartermaster generals de- partment to show how much insur- ance is carried or what kind. he said.
 Until this year, he also stated. the quartermaster general has been charged In the budget with the amount of the premiums while the comptroller has had charge of plac- ing the Insurance. In the budget for the next biennium, though, the item was omitted from both depart ment schedules but was requested by Comptroller Salmon at the hearing before tie appropriations commit | tee.
 Senator Connor charges that the practice followed out is an example of bad government. He stated that armory property in the state is worth $i. 100000 and that some of il is not insured at all.
 | Senator Connor also charged that the action in giving the comptroller control of the insurance on the buildings was nothing more thar republican "poaching." By taking the insurance out of Senator Con- nor's hands, it is said. the repubil- cans will be able to curtail demo- cratic patronage from this angle.

 Look at it." the mayor said, lead- ing the correspondent to the Win- dow and gesturing at the expanse of pork along the lake.
 "You have to lie on your back to see New York's skyline. You can see Chicago's while you sit on com fortable bench in a beautiful park.
 Well again after his operation for appendicitis, Thompson in his boom- ing voice "recollected" the past, dis cussed the present and forecast in a measure the future. He chewed at cold cigar, waving it in arches to the tempo of his talk. The Big Bill' smile and the Thompson handshake that have made him one of the most colorful of Americas politicians were back on the job for the campaign.
 What do you intend to do if re- elected?" he was asked.
 Make Chicago the most beautiful. cleanest, healthiest city in the world"
 He pointed south to where the first worlds fair buildings are being erected.
 If it hadn't been for your magyar there wouldn't be worlds fair site. He pulled 1t out of the lake"

 "Your mayor will do his duty. When he raises his hand to God to take the oath, whether they call him Kaiser Bill or traitor-what the hell does he care-Hell do his duty as the law prescribes.'
 What do you think of reform ers?"
 "Crookedest institutions on earth"
 What do you think the special grand jury Investigating the police department will turn up?"
 "They won't go to work until some dupe puts up a hundred thousand or so."
 Chicago was broke a year ago. What is the financial condition now?"
 "When your mayor took over Chi- cago four years ago from Mayor De- yer thare was deficit of $4,000,00 Now there's a surplus of $500, ,OO0. How he did it I don't know, al- though he got splendid cooperation from a democratic council"
 "To tell you the truth, I never had quarrel with King George. I had to oust w. J. McAndrews, who want ed to tell our school children Wash ington was a traitor and rebel. To prove he wasn't ro-British he went to England and still lives there"
 The mayors attention was called to the fact that his enemies call him "circus mayor"

Disciplined for the incident, which paused this government to make an Pmcial apology yesterday at the time the court martial was ordered. The Italian embassy was under tood to be satisfied with the gov- rnment's dual action, and the state *4epartment considers the interna- kional aspect of the case closed |. , S}Butler's narration of . secondhand 4ktory portraying Mussolini as a Init 1 knd-run" driver had evoked an of- kicial protest by Italian ambassador ( The marine officer himself was a belf-conftned prisoner at the Quan- tico, Va, base to-day, waiting for the charges against him to be draft ed by the navy department. Vari- usual that it was believed prepar- htions for the court martial would hot be completed for several weeks.
 That the Butler incident will arouse considerable discussion in congress meanwhile is believed cer- tain. Senator Brookhart, repn. Iowa, already has been quoted as saying he was "with General Butler In whatever he says about Musso- lini."
 Reports that the general had sub- mitted his resignation brought de- nial from Secretary of the Navy Adams and Gen Ben H. Fuller, com mandant of the marine corps. These followed rumors that Butler had signed a lecture contract with the Alkahest Lyceum bureau. However $. Russell Bridges. southern man. ager of the Lyceum bureau, told the United Press in Atlanta that no con- tract had been signed and that there had been no talk of Buffers resign Ing from the service at the time the matter was discussed last Novem- Der.
 Meanwhile, the rumor persisted here that President Hoover had talk en an active part in directing or approving the formal note of apol- Dgy dispatched to the Italian pre- mier. It was reported that Buffers story was discussed at the presi- dents cabinet meeting Tuesday. The White House, however, has remained silent about the matter.
 Buffers trial will be held either here or at Quantico, before a board If marine and naval officers. Post ponement of the trial for several weeks was believed probable because If the anticipated delay in assembl- ng. the group of officers scheduled 10 try Butler. Because of the gen. erals high rank, it was expected a jul board of 13 officers holding the Iame or higher rank would be called io sit in the case.
 Within the marine corps, there are lnly two other major generals. One Fuller, commandant of the corps tnd the other is Logan Feland, sta ioned on the Pacific coast. AL Ihough there is no regulation for bidding Fuller from being member If the court martial, officers said hat custom dictated that he, as sommandant, not serve. It was vir' tualy certain a number of naval oM- sers will be summoned here to try Butler.
 Also, 1t was pointed out. Butler must be allowed time to obtain coun- ,el and prepare for his defense. He nay have either naval or civilian at orneys, as he prefers. Thus far officials have not decided whether he trial will be open or secret.
