 Secretary Adams vigorously sid- ed with the president in 8 state- ment issued just before the White House acted.
 "As secretary of the Navy,n said Adams, T wish to take this ops portunity to express any unquali- fled disapproval of the methods used by the Navy League in the pamphlet issued by 1t dated Oc- tober 28, 1891. In the pamphlet issued by 1t dated october 28, 1881, In the pamphlet the Navy League has descended from the high plane of dignified discussion to that of personal attack upon the comman- der-in-chief of the navy, the pres- ident; a procedure which deeply resent.

 The requirements necessary to fulfill to become 6 member of the cast of the "Brolic" are really quite simple. You must. of course, pos sess some talent. You must be 16 years of age or over.

The roster of successful stars of the stage and screen is fairly filtered with the names of those who received their start in just such "Frolic" as The Democrat is to stage here.

 If Waterbury has been the re. ceiving station for the stolen chic- kens more arrests will be made within the course of a day or two, State Troopers William Murphy and George Layden, with Lieuten- ant William Pollard and Detective Connie" Shannahan providing valuable local cooperation will be officially credited with the capture that has not only a local angle, but which interests the authorities and residents of Middiebury, Woodbury. Southbury and Nauga- tuck and other places.
 State troopers were assigned to investigate the case when com plaints were filed by residents of nearby towns. Local detectives succeeded in learning that some of the stolen chickens had been disposed of in markets here. The tip was passed to the state police and the automobile used or sus- pected of usage in the wholesale theft of chickens was trailed for several hours late last evening and early this morning. The state troopers picked up the trail near Middlebury about o'clock thil morning. The car of the Wagner brothers was chased. After racing along the Whittemore road into Naugatuck the two brothers leaped from the machine and fled in op- posite directions. The troopers followed Alex and captured him They later seized the machine and about 25 chickens, which appar- ently were stolen this morning. The state troopers notified the Waterbury police of the arrest oi Alex and requested cooperation in experimenting Henry.
 Pending trial either in Middle bury or one of the towns where the chances of successful convic- ton are favorable the state troop CTS will keep the Wagner brothers prisoners at the Beacon Falls bar racks.

 Jaeger didn't even have to go without his smoking tobacco. There are plenty of cigarette butts in the park. Jaeger simply stripped off the paper. roasted the tobacco on a tin plate over fire, filled up his pipe, and puffed away.
 Even when city jobs did offer, the Jaegers missed out because ap- plicants had to register their ad- dreas. The clerk refused to be- Iieve them when they insisted they lived in the park.
 Mounted Policeman Douglas Efurle, after he had seen the couple twice at the same place in the park, asked if they were picnicking.
 "Well-uh-yes," Mrs Jaeger told him.
 "How long have you been here?" he asked.
 "since June," she replied.
 After they had told their story, police arranged for them to trans fer their household belongings to the polo stable in the park. Colonel Clarence H. Higginson. command ing officer of an artillery unit whose horses are stabbed there. had extra blankets.

 Earnest Lee Jahncke, assistant secretary of navy and close friend and admirer of MT Hoover. William R. Castle, Jr, assistant secretary of state, also confidant of the president.
 Hammond, Dadsworth and Hancke were named as represen- tatives of the Navy League. ac- cording to Theodore Joslin, presi- dential publicity secretary.
 Their duty will be to ascertain from the records the truth con- corning the assertions of William Howard Gardiner, president of the Navy League. Gardiner is- sued a pamphlet statement last Wednesday in which he charged that the presidents old proposal to immunize food supplies in times of war showed "abysmal ig- norance".
 Gardiner also asserted in the pamphlet that MT Hoover's pre- iiminary conferences with Premier DacDonald of Great Britain, prior to the London arms conference. reached agreements that have never officially been divulged." :" He generally charged the president with mistreating the Navy.
 In his announcement, the presi- dent said the business of the com- mittee would be "to examine the accuracy of such statements Of President Gardiner of the Navy League as may be readily determ- ined from departmental records"
 "This inquiry" he said, "is solely into the assertions of fact made by President Gardiner in his state ment of October 28, not into his opinions or conclusions, nor into

 "Finally. as a friend of the serv- fee of which I am secretary, re- gret that such a pamphlet should be put out by an organization which pretends to be a friend of the Navy, for statements like those published can only do the Navy harm and may serve to alienate the friendship of many men who truly regard the Navy as the first line of the nations defense"
 Adams conferred with the presi- dent 45 minutes before the state- ment was issued.
 Meanwhile details of the econ omy move made by the president have not been disclosed. They probably will be made public when the budget is sent to congress around December 6.
 The committee probably will elect its own chairman when 1t meeets at the convenience of It's members within the next few days.

 The courts statement follows:
 The court at no time In any rul- ing or comment 1t has made has said that the case had established Q situation in which there was nothing left for the plaintiff to show under the right to recover damages except proof to the extent of the publication to affect the quantity of damages to be awarded, and nothing the court said justi- fled the conclusion that a verdict was framed in the courts mind against the defendant. The com- ments of the court on that propcsi- ton were qualified as to the posi- ton the case was In before any defense was heard, and the com ments, but partially reported, were offered to advise counsel of what was necessary to be shown by way of defense, if available, in order to avoid A default, in which situation the only question of fact for the fury to determine would be the. ex- tent of damages if damages other than purely nominal were sought by the defendant to be avoided.
 "Every lawyer knows that publication may be libelous upon its face which, if not avoided by defensive testimony, would make possible a recovery of nominal damages in any nominal sum within the country'g monetary measurements of values; and if t were the jury's Judgment that one cent was sufficient for nominal damages, such a verdict would be of necessity sustained by the court"

Fired After 2z Years By Light and Heat Co, He Shut Off Gas in the Mains for Revenge

Hagerstcwn, Md. Nov s.-(UP)
 Ben Gift was pretty mad lagt night, with the result that few people in Hagerstown had hot breakfasts to-day. Gift, who had been working for the Hagerstown Light and Heat Co for 22 years, was discharged recently and didn't like 1t. At 1 c. nn., when all Hagerstown slept, he turned off gas in the mains, notified the general the police.
 Because gas ranges, furnaces, hot water heaters and such have pilot lights, the gas couldn't be turned on again until every patron had been notified, and there was no coffee and toast for the working man and his wife. Gift had his breakfast in jail.
