(Continued from Page 1)

Sandland's ability, they pointed out, that they nominated him for mayor four times. He was elected twice and holds the record of being the only republican in the history of Waterbury who succeeded himself as mayor.
 In addition to serving two terms as mayor, MT. Sandland was nom- mated by the republicans as city clerk on three different occasions and served three terms in that of- flee. Besides this, he served three terms as assistant city clerk.
 Any man who has served four years in the mayors office and 12 years in the city clerks office should know the city's business from every angle," said man close to the mayor this morning, and he added that 1t was the ex-mayor's expert ence which won him the appoint ment.
 "If Mayor Hayes has made. a mis. take in the appointment of MT Sandland, the local republican party has made many of them in honorine him." said this man.
 In addition to honoring him To. cally, the republican party has also honored MT. Sandland statewise. He has served for the past four years as state factory inspector, working under State Labor Commissioner Harry Mackenzie. MT. Sandland wil resign his state position within the next two weeks so as to be pre-. pared to start on his work a. assessor on March list.

Ter, U. s. M. C.
 Butler case Is based upon a story
 he allegedly told at luncheon in Philadelphia to the effect that Mus
 sohni, while motoring with "an
 American friend" ran down q child,
 leaving the scene without giving aid. Vanderbilt Is supposed to have been
 the American friend" The letter was forwarded by Van derbilt from Tucson, Ariz. where he
 now Is, to Secretary of State Henry
 l.. Stimson. It reached the state de-
 partment yesterday. The depart
 ment has refused to reveal its con- tents.
 Word from Los Angeles that Van derbilt had written friend there saying that 1t was true that incidents he reported after a visit to Musso-
 lini in 1926 were described by Butt
 Ter at Philadelphia caused comment here.
 Navy officers and others closely following the case were of the opin- ion that the truth of the statements Butler made could be but a small
 issue in the case. They pointed out
 that Butler is charged with making
 statements which--true or false
 should not have been made by an officer in active service. Hence the truth of the statements could be nothing more than perhaps an ex- tenuating circumstance and the question might even be kept out of the trial entirely.
