Over $100,00 has been contributed by the people of Waterbury to the Mutual Aid Unemployment fund since it was established a month ago, it was disclosed to-day in an augmented report made public by Treasurer Lewis s. Reed This fig ure, when announced, caused consid erable comment, to think that in such a short time such a great amount had been raised, with no noticeable sacrifice on anybody, to care for the needy of Waterbury who are suffering as a result of the business depression.
 Yesterday afternoon at meeting of the relief committee Treasurer Reed informed the body that since the drive to aid local unemployed had been started, he had received in donations, contributions and through other sources a total of $93,747.
 Since these figures were compiled, however, it was stated to-day. more than $7,OOO more has been received by Treasurer Reed, jumping the to- tai taken in to date over $10O,00O.
 The committee yesterday after noon expressed it's satisfaction with the progress made to date. At the meeting F.. J. Daley offered the com mittee wood on land he owns on Oakhill avenue so that 1t may be cut and distributed to persons in need of fuel A check for $10 was received from an out-of-toWn woman so that gloves might be bought for the men shoveling snow.

BANK CASHIER IS
 NOT YET FREED OF ALL BLAME
Officials Do Not Place Full Credence He Told About the LOOting of the Vault

Chicago. Jan )-Federal bank examiners. working over rec ords of the only National bank closed in this district in 25 years. admitted to-day they were puzzled over the strange story of Assistant Cashier John C. Malloy. who con tended the bank was robbed
 "We don't know whether to be- lieve his story or not" said Chief District Examiner Alfred F. Ley burn.
 Malloys story was that four men, posing as examiners. called him to the Lawrence avenue National bank on New Years day, footed about 30 safety deposit boxes. forced him to fix the time lock so the vault could not be opened until Sunday. then took him to Milwaukee and set him free.
 The assistant cashier was held yesterday under $7,500 bonds on a charge of embeZzlement of $10,00O Examiners said the amount lost probably would be much larger. 1t was difficult. they said to straighten out the records because several inn portant ledger sheets were missing Malloy said the robbers had used the sheets to wrap up silver coins they stole. The examiners said that was strange, since other papers could have been obtained more easily.
 An attempt to show that Malloy has spent money in ways not in keeping with his $3,O00 annual salary was disclosed yesterday with questioning of Mary C. Curran "A, telephone operator at the bank.
 Officials said Miss Curran admit ted going to night clubs with Nal Joy, who is married, but she denied he had spent money lavishly and said her brother always accom- panied her when she went out with the banker.
 While the investigators were pug zlcd over Malloy's story, the banker himself was confident he could prove 1t true.
 ''It seems" he said, that it's sometimes tougher to be held up than il is to do the holdup yourself. Next time I'll ask them to cut me in on it. Sec, l know all the terms noW-learned them from the detcc- lives

 Down on Policy
(Continued from Page 1)

When Patrolman Daniel J. Carson Of the emergency squad and Ser geant Albert Wilton and Patrolmen Joseph Clark and Daniel Namack crashed into the restaurant at 273 Bank street they seized two .gambl- ing machines and arrested the pro- prietor, Pic Cuiffoil.
 Within an hour after being booked all of the accused were released un- der bonds and ordered to appear in police court at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning.
 With friends rushing to the assist ance of the accused and number of others attracted out of curiosity police headquarters presented a very busy and lively scene during the noon hour. Sergeant James Gib- bons, desk officer, booked the vari- ous ones taking in charge. Captain Richard Leroy was in charge of headquarters as acting deputy super intendent of police.
 Sergeant John Bowling in his visit to the North Main street esta ablish- ment was assisted by Patrolmen Patrick Moylan, Patrick McCabe and Timothy Hurley.
 Lieutenant Wagner and Patrolmen Matthew Noonan. Gene Blodgett and MlCnael CarrOll made the raid at Coogan's. Sergeant Gibbons also paid a visit to a place on Phoenix avenue, but found no evidence of gambling.
 The raids to-day, so it was learned, have been contemplated for some time past by the police. A number of places suspected of being receiv- ing stations for policy players have been under surveillance for several days past
 The five machines brought to headquarters appeared loaded with nickels and quarters. The jack pots" were well loaded and ready for a killing. Several of the fre- quenters brought in were on their way home to dinner and stopped to make a play. The hard luck gig" should be good.

PROPOSAL TO BUY
 TERRITORY NOW
 OWNED BY MEXICO
Senator Ashurst Wants the United States to Pur= chase Lower California and Part of Sonora
BY JOHN R. MORRIS (Unfted Press Staff COrresuondt


 Mexico City, Jan 6-(UP)- The proposal of United States Senator Henry r, Ashurst that the United States purchase lower California and part of Sonora from Mexico was received with coldness in official circles here.
 Such transaction would be en- tircly against Mexican public opin- ion, even if the government had any desire to con9ummate such a real estate deal, some officials said. The government is understood to be far from receptive to Ashurst's suggcs- ton however, and is actually con centrating on a program to Mex icanize" the district which the Ariz- ona senator thinks the United States should buy. -.
 The governments program of Mexicanization is opposed primarily to the AmericaniZation of lower Cal ifornia and includes the changing of names of cities and streets Which ch may reflect the United States infu- ence.
 Exemplifying this program. Pres ident Pascual Ortiz Rubio recently appointed governor of the northern district of lower California Carlos Trejo Y Leredo De Tejada, who is such an ardent nationalist that he recently attempted to banish santa Claus as "unMexican."
 Washington, Jan 6--tUP) The senate foreign relations committee had before it to-day resolution proposing that the United States en- ter into negotiations for the pur- chase of lower California and an area of 10000 square miles in the state of Sonora.
 The resolution, introduced in the senate yesterday by Senator Ashurst, democrat, AriZ, was received with surprise by many senators who were inclined to regard the proposal lightly, recalling that similar pro- posal a decade ago was dropped when it was found that the Mexican constitution forbade any alienation of present Mexican territory.
 Senator Dill. democrat, Wash. favored the resolution saying, low CT California is now an Achilles heel to the United States"
 "Some of the finest land in the world is in that region. and the bay would accommodate the navics Of the world" Senator Watson, rcpub- Iican, Ind, commented.
 But Senator Copeland, democrat, ". Y., commented lightly "Why don't we buy all of Mexico?"
 Other influential senators, who would not be quoted, were appre- hensive that the resolution might be resented in Mexico, but deprecated any possibility of passage. They felt the real purpose of the proposal was to point a possible way to avoid the problem of the distribution of water and power from the Colorado river, since the mouth of the river would

! ONCE strawberries are so plenti-
I - full this year. it may be we'll
/ worth the time and effort it takes
/ to can and preserve some for next
I winters use.
The aeidity of strawberries
makes them very easy to can in
the average home kitchen. They
will keep" if canned by the old
fashioned open-kettle method, but
they lose their vitamin C content.
The heat-controlled oven provides
one of the easiest means of cam
ming many fruits and tomatoes.
The water-bath canner, steam-pres-
sure cooker and any of the steam
ers" and "water~less cookers" on
the market are suitable for the
canning of Strawberries.
Fruit for canning or preserving
should be perfectly ripe but not
the least bit over-ripe. So sort
berries carefully and use the large
perfect ones for plain canning and
tine preserving and the imperfect
berries requiring cutting for old
fashioned strawberry jam. The
canning and preserving processes
aannot correct any imperfections
In the fruit. Consequently bruised
and blemished berries must be
trimmed and made usable.
How to Wash Berries
When washing berries, do no;
pour water directly onto the fruit.
Drop berries into big pan of cold
water or into a deep colander plac-
ed in a larger pan of water. Lift
colander gently up and down into
the water, letting berries settle
slowly together without any vio-
lenee. Change water several times
until all traces of sand or grit are
moved. Drain, and fruit Is ready
for use.
Strawberries must be handled
very carefully, for there is gos-
samer-like covering over the berry
that is easily broken.
After berries are thoroughly
washed pack them into sterilized
jars, adjust tested rubbers and
pour over medium syrup to cover
fruit. Half-seal and process &C
cording to rule-quart jars 16
minutes in hot water bath, 35 min
utes in heat-regulated oven at
275 degrees +. and minutes in
cooker at to 10
pounds pressure. Remove Jars at
end of processing period, fully seal
and cool quickly.
Pack fruit closely but dc not

EXPERIENCED COOKS
PUT UP FRUIT IN
SMALL QUANTITIES
Hills Bros. Follow Similar
Rule by Roasting Coffee a
Little at a Time

BY adding the halves of fruit to
the hot syrup a few at time, the
boiling temperature is maintained
and the fruit cooks to firm, tender
goodness.
This principle is apparent in
Hill Bros process of roasting coffee
and the result is a uniform, deli
cious flavor no other coffee has. A
constant stream of expertly blended
green coffee is introduced into the
roaster in automatically measured
lots of about three pounds. AS it
passes through, uniform heat roasts
it little at a time. When the op-
GRAFTON is over, every berry is
roasted to an even degree that could
never be secured by any bulk
method of roasting coffee.
This process is fittingly called
Controlled Roasting. 1t was orig
mated and patented by Hills Bros.
and develops a savory, delicious
favor that no other process can
equal.
Because Hills Bros. Coffee is
packed in vacuum, it is always
fresh. By this process, air, which
destroys the flavor of coffee, is
taken out of the can and kept out.
Ordinary cans, even if air-tight,
do not keep coffee fresh. Ask for
Hills Bros. Coffee by name and look
for the Arab-the trade-mark-on
the can. Sold by grocers every
where.
