NOVEL TRIAL OF JANITOR BY JURY
 OF NEGROES

New York, March 2.-(UP)- Race equality as communist doc Urine was ell right for August Yo- kinen, Finn, in theory but in prac- tice it was different.
 For instance, he said once he wouldn't care to bathe in the same tub a negro used. He was willing to be "comrade" to Harlem negroes but when they waited to attend a dance at the Finnish Workers Edu- cational club. of which he was jam itor, Yokinen baked.
 As result he stood convicted to- day of "white chauvinism" and un- der sentence of the communits. party fore he cal again become "c0mrade' either to the Harlem brethern or any other member-in-good standing of the communist party.
 The first communist "mass trial, was held in Harlem Sunday. There live thousands of negroes with q goodly representation in the com munist party.
 A jury of IA, including six negro men and one negro woman, tried Yokinen. The charge of white chauvinism" brought against him in- volved violation of the communist teuSuIS OL race eQuduLy.f IHc trlul room was packed: there were vio- lent speeches packed with commun- ist doctrines. Yokinen was accused of not only acquiescing in ejecting negroes from the Finnish dance, but also of failing to jump ,Sat the throats of those who wanted to eject' the duslsy wearers of the communist insignia, the hammer and sickle.
 Yokinen was humble enough. He pleaded guilty. and his attorney pleaded that he not be sacrificed but rather saved for the "cause'.
 Thereupon the jury of his equals deliberated briefly and decided that he could again become full-fledged communist If he would fulfil Che following:-
 Announces to the Finnish club the results of the trial in a manner to convince tEe other Films that "white chauvinisyh" was a sin.
 Work at the club to allow ne- groes equal admission with others to all parts ofsthe club. including the bathtub.
 Join the league of struggle for negro rights" and sell the league or- gan, the Ldberator.

 The trouble began yesterday when Devine refused to eat breakfast, de- claring the food unfit for consump- ton. Subsequently he ate a hearty dinner.
 This morning, however, when a breakfast consisting of apple sauce, codfish cakes. Italian bread and but ter and coffee, tea or milk, was served, Devine reiterated that the food was unfit to eat.
 So elequently did he state his case that about IA of the other 32 in- mates joined him in hunger strike. Among the other hunger strikers were Miss Edith Berkman of San Francisco. N.T.W.U. organizer, and William Murdock of Chicago, na- tional secretary of the union. They, like Devine, are awaiting hearing on the deportation warrants.
 Mrs Anna c. M. Tillinghast, im- migration commissioner, who yes- terday inspected food served to in- mates and pronounced 1t of good quality, announced to-day that tho three communist leaders would be segregated immediately in an effort to put a summary end to the hun ger. strike. She believed that with out their influence the other inmates would resume eating.

Great Vaudeville Show and Talking screen Feature Now
 Being Presented at Strand

Patrons of Warner Brothers Strand theater who visit it today or tomorrow will witness another ex- cellent stage and screen show. Audiences at Saturday and yester- days performances applauded most enthusiastically the artists appearing in the stage show and the feature picture held their eyes every second of it's 60 some odd minutes running time. It's one great entertainment bill.
 Headlining the stage show is Geraldine and Joe. ''The Interna- tional Riddle Stars. Not yet in their teens this clever pair of juve- nile artists have risen to stardom in the vaudeville world with their success here in the United States duplicated abroad. They have just returned from long tour abroad and have been playing to "rold- over" engagements at the leading vaudeville theaters throughout the cast. While they are featured as dancers, they also display marked ability as singers, pantomimists and comedians. Their act alone is worth going miles to see.
 Next of importance on this de- luxe bill is Vernon Rathburn and his saxophone quintet. Rathburn and been termed the Paderewski of the saxophone and rightly for in his act he clearly demonstrates his marvcl- ous accomplishments on this popular instrument. Together, with his assist ing artists he draws round after round of applause with the marvel- ous melodies six sazophones alone can produce.
 "Lioner' Mike Amcs. one of the most popular female impersonators in vaudeville today. has an inter- esting and highly entertaining pre- sentation with Jimmy Clark, 'The Wizard of the Keys at the piano. Gates and Claire in "Old Steps and Tunes" cleverly staged act. go over biz as do the Wilson brothers in a riotous comedy skit entitled Hello Emma"
 The feature picture on the bill is Aloha" with Ben Lyon and Raquel Torres in the starring roles. It is q rombance of the South Seas and proves thrilling, adventurous en- tertainment. An excellent cast SUD- ports these two popular stars. The feature picture starting Wednesday is Resurrection" starring John Boles and Lupe Velez.

1IARMYN MILLER IN SUNNY,
 AND "EYES OF THE WORLD'

Sparkling in it's comedy and filled with the. personality of Marilyn Miller, Sunny" the First National and Vitaphone version of the stage play, opened yesterday at the new Garden theater. From the lines of Marilyn Miller fans at the box office there seems to be but little doubt that this picture will be an even greater success than Sally"
 Sunny" is something distinct as picture type. It follows no con- ventiona1 lines. Taken from Miss Miller's famous stage success, which ran for three years, Sunny" on the talking screen is essentially a com- edy-romance. It is built around the personality of Miss Miller. who as the bareback rider in little circus at Southampton is loved by all. but loves Tom-Lawrence Gray--whom she had met in past years. He is in society and is just sailing from Southampton with his fiancees
 Every so often, there comes q photoplay that scars head and shoul- ders above the average film. Such a film is "Eyes of the World," which is the companion picture.

DOUG FAIRBANKS AND BEBE
 DANIELS THRILL AUDIENCES IN PREACHING FOR THE MOON
 NOW AT THE STATE THEATEH

NOW AT THE STATE THEATE.R
 Douglas Fairbanks has thrown aside armor, steed, sword and buck Ter for the first time in ten years has attired himself in a fitting business suit-has exchanged battle- ments for a penthouse apartment topping skyscraper-and the result is the happiest mixture of entertain ment the year has brought forth.
 The picture is Reaching For the Moon," for United Artists, written and directed by Edmund Goulding. whom they call the most versatile man in Hollywood, and at Warner Bros State theater to-day and tomor- row. with Bebe Daniels as the dag zling object of Fairbanks affections. The story and dialogue are smart ands sophisticated, the action is TO- mantle and rapid, the settings range from fashionable New York to @ luxurious liner at sea, and there is a bountiful seasoning of comedy. And when the last word is said about lovely women. it should be in con- nection with the hand-picked beau ties who glide through the scenes of Reaching for the Moon."
 They called 1t million dollar cast' when the filming was going on at United Artists, and glance at the names seems to make the sum fall short. For, in addition to Fairbanks and Daniels there are Edward Everett Horton, sure-fire farceur; Jack Mulhall. a star in his own right; Claud Allister, the comic Britisher; June MacCloy, gorgeous to gaze upon; Luana Walters, new beauty; and such veteran troupers n Iyol NTz1I 1Ir1.

Measures Now Before Solons
 At Hartford
Action Taken This Noon at Regular Meeting of Associa ton Want Supreme Court of Errors Given Per- manent Sitting at Hartford

Four of the five new bills before the judiciary committee of the leg islature were favored by vote of the Waterbury Bar association at it's monthly meeting at the Hotel Wa terbury this noon The bar also vot- ed that committee composed of the officers of the association confer with the New Haven county commits sioners on the proposed changes in the local court house. Attorney James M. Lynch presided as chair man in the absence of Attorney John H. Cassidy, president, who Is con- fined to his home with illness.
 The bar went on record as favoring the sitting of the supreme court of errors in Hartford permanently. Un- der the present system the high court meets in Hartford, Norwich, Bridgeport and New Haven. There is a new bill which has been referred to the judiciary committee of the legislature providing for the perma- nent sitting at Hartford of the su- preme court. Action on the bill by the local bar association followed the suggestion of Chief Justice William M. Maltbie who notified other state bar associations similarly.
 The local body opposed any cndUSe III lHc pEcScHI Jury Syoe~iAi which requires a panel of 12. There i., a bill before the legislature pro- viding for a jury of nine. The local bar disapproved of the bill giving the states attorney the right to at tend grand jury hearings. He is pre- vented from so doing under present law but new bill would give him the right to sit in at the hearings.
 The bar voted that a committee composed of officers of the associa- ton confer with the New Haven county commissioners on the sug- sested changes in the local court rouse. Those who will comprise the committee are: President. John H Cassidy: vice president, William E. Thoms; secretary. George H. Free man: treasurer, William M. Gillette.

 Capone's $5,000 bond will continue in force until then, permitting the gang leader his freedom.

 Monday, Mar. 2--Although native eggs on the local market were liber- al and the price trend was lower, reports from outside terminal mar kets indicated the situation general. ly was firmer and prices slightly higher for grades most representa- tive of the general supply. Supplies remaining to be sold of storage eggs held from a year ago were reduced to low levels, it was reported. and some buying for putting away this season has started. Quotations on storage pasked eggs of the better grades in New York were ranging from 21c to 25c late last week. These fgfures represented prices about Sc pr dozen higher than many were predicting last month would be the rule at this time. a
 Supplies of new carrots, cabbage and beats were continuing liberal and prices were dow nto lower levels again today. Western iceberg let tuce continued in lighter than nor- may supply and the barket held firm. Onions remained in the >eextremely weak market position which has prevailed most of the winter. Pota- toes were showing slightly firmer tone at shipping centers, but local trading was continuing at prices fully as low as a week ago.
 Supplies of early broilers were still light and demand for them ac- tions for live stock declined late last week. Little demand for either live or dressed broilers has developed yet locally, but buyers for the New York market, who truck livestock direct, have been active and kept supplies on farms mostly clearned up in this area.
