Landlady Stages Scene With Boarder;
 Arrests Follow
Fracas in Attorney Robins Office Leads to City Court Judge After Hearing Evidence Continues Case For Two Weeks - Broken Window Must Be Replaced

A lawyers office is no place to stage a fight. It's all right to call and explain one and to demand &C., tion for damages, but not to start one. Sophie Roma, AZ. of 991 North Main street and her boarder, Nick Boiko, 36, attempted to do it and party succeeded only to be placed under arrest. The scene opened and closed in Attorney Nor ris Robins office on Bank street yes- terday afternoon.
 Attorney Robin had been repre- senting Boilso in some legal matters Of course what is pending in the court may have some future results of value to Boiko and his success will be Mrs Koma's success for he apparently owes his landlady a board bill.
 Nick couldn't explain to Mrs Roma the reason why he had yet to realize some money on his legal action. We'll, she decided that she would soon find out and insisted up- on accompanying Nick to his law yer's office. They were courteously received and an explanation was given. Mrs Roma admits that she doesn't know much about American legal procedure. but she does know plenty about Nick owing her some money. She suggested several "short cuts." which Attorney Robin might take to help Nick and to please her. Her suggestions were declared "out of order" and not according to Blacwstone, Rigney, MacMullen or somebody like that. Still she re- fused to accept explanations and Att torney Robin finally suggested that she leave his office, in fact he in- sisted upon it. She went. She came back. She was ushered out again. She came back again and in one of her excited moments failed to become nonchalant and reached for sometihgn which resulted in a broken window.
 Patrolmen Charles McWeeney and Thomas Grady ware called into the picture and both Nick and Mrs Roma were taken into custody. Nick just to be sociable accompanied Mrs Roma to headQuarters, He had

Two games of basketball will be played at the high school gym on Friday evening when the girls and boys representing Thomaston high school and teams representing Col linsville high school will meet. The games which will start at 8 o'clock are expected to attract a large crowd. The Thomaston high school girls team have made fine showing this season, but the boys seem to play in hard luck losing most of the games played by only a few points, the main reason being that the To- cal students are So much smaller than their opponents that they are greatly handicapped. The team looks fine in practice and is one of the best drilled teams in this section, but when the games get under way the local boys tire from the extra effort they are forced to make against their much heavier opponents.

Trading Will Be Resumed Tomorrow, Friday the 13th-Wall Street Is Just Now Very Superstitious
Traders Look For a Re- action Rise of Market In Last Few Days Was Purely Artificial-BOnus Payment Is Going to Have Some Influence
BY ELMER C. WAI4ZER. United Press Financial EditOr)

New York, Feb 12.--(UP)-All financial markets were closed to-day because of the Lincdn's birthday holiday but trading will be resumed tomorrow. Friday, the 18th. when "the street" looks for a reaction.
 Wall street is superstitious. In fact, the stock exchange building has no 18th floor for that reason.
 Back to more fundamental facts. the list is entitled to a reaction on purely technical grounds. according to conservative observers. who say the rise of the last few days has been purely artificial. Numerous pools have accumulated stocks at the low prices prevailing since midDe- cember and are taking this brief period of strength to unload their holdings. When the selling is fin- ished the market for the particular stock will be allowed to shift for it. self and without pool support, may drop several points.
 Under cover of strength in yes terdays market heavy distribution was said to be under way in num- Der of issues. Evidence of this was sene in the fact that the 20 most avtice issues accounted for 20 per cent of the 4.700,000 share turn over. One stock had volume equal to more than 50 per cent of all it's shares outstanding.
 The bonus situation is still con sidered a menace to rise in the market. ogden l.. Mills, under-sec- retary of the treasury, told bankers yesterday that several bonus devel Opments were to come out within AS hours, and gave the impression q bonus bill would be passed.
 Mills argument against a large bonus payment calling for d huge bond issue was that it would cause temporary, imitation followed by pro- longation of the business depression.
 Mills said the government could not float bond issue of even bil- lion dollars without disrupting the whole bond market.
 In addition to the bonus problem the market still is faced with a deli cate silver situation. The steel in- dustry presents spotty demand; corporation reports are not measur- ing up to expectations, and car load ings continue to reflect sharp cur- tailment everywhere.
 Proponents of a bull market at this time hold that the market has discounted these factors, and is now looking forward to rapid recovery. The bonus, they say, will be vetoed by the president and will not be passed over his veto. Prospects of congress avoiding an extra session also are seen as working for the market. One observer said the mar. ket would rise immediately 10 points 1 if cong>ess adjourned with all ap. propriation bills passed and would not meet again until next Decem ber The reason given for the fear of congress in action is that it's activi- ties bring much uncertainty with which the market cannot cope.
 The credit situation is such that stocks can be carried for what di- vidends they pay.
 Incidentally, the present upswing has the same general appearance as that rise which marked the end of the last depression.

WATERVILLE
TRUNK SEWER IS
 NEAR COMPLETION
Expect to Reach Hunting- don Avenue Outlet
 Shortly

The work on the last section of the new trunk sewer now being ex- tend to Waterville is rapidly ap- difficult section of the section, the final crossing the Naugatuck river, is now being successfully negotiated in spite of the unusually difficult conditions brought about by the se- verity of the present winter. With in comparatively short time the outlet of the Huntingdon avenue lat eral will be reached and the final connection made. This will permit the discontinuance of the pumping station located at the Huntingdon avenue bridge which was installed when the carriers from the Overlook, Cottage Park and Waterville east side were laid. The station pumps the sewage directly into the river, a privilege extended to the city by the state water commission to save the city the expense of temporary fil- tering and disposal plant. Permis- sion was granted on condition that the work on the trunk sewer for Washington avenue to Waterville be pushed as quickly as possible. The city adhered strictly to the prom ise made at that time and has done everything possible to hasten the date when Waterville's pollution of the river might be eliminated.
 Driver ExOnerated
 Uriah Barrett of Waterbury. driv- CT of the truck which fatally in- jured Philip Atherton, Fairmount boy. several weeks ago, has been cleared of any responsibility by the coroner's report issued this week.

When the Atherton boy, in some unknown manner, slipped and fell beneath. a real wheel of the truck, meeting instant death.

 Engineers reported some difficulty in the broadcast, although it was excellent, they said, considering the distance and the time of day. At .he start there was some trouble because of overlapping from the transmitters of ships and because of heterodyning. In the middle of the address the same difficulty was experienced.
 The Columbia Broadcasting Con- pany cooperated with the United Press in translating the Latin and Italian speeches Radio apparatus was run n the United Press offices in the World building, where Mrs Corinna 4.
