Japan Rescue Ship
 Aids The Lindberghs
(Continued from Page D

The Shinshiru Maru is a 2OO0- ton vessel of the Japanese bureau of fisheries patrol.
 Fog-bound in the Kurile Islands they apparently passed the night in the placid sea at the tiny little isl- and of Ketoi, half way to Nemuro, Japan, their immediate goal.
 Gasoline and supplies were un- derstood to have been made avail able for them at Ketoi, and wire less messages from Mrs Lindbergh, acting as radio operator for her famous pilot-husband, said they were in no danger or want.
 They were nearly 500 miles from Nemuro, forced down by the thick fog blanket which prevails almost constantly over the mid Kurile island section of the western Pacific.
 The steamer Shinshiru Maru reached the Lindbergh plane at 8 a. m. Lindbergh went on board. He said they had slept in the plane, awaking at a. m.
 The night was calm. he said. and both felt fit despite the difficulties of yesterdays flight and the fight with the treacherous fog which forced them to alight.
 The captain of the vessel in- formed them that gasoline was available at Muroton Bay, opposite Ketoi Isle, which he said they could use if necessary.
 Fog increased during the morn ing. Weather experts, however, said it usually clears briefly be- tween noon and 3 D. m.

He Is president oi the Charity Organization Society of New York and had a prominent part In New York city's unemployment relief program last winter.
 The task of the national organi- zation was defined by President Hoover:
 ITO cooperate with the public authorities and to mobilize the national. state and local agencies of every kind which will have charge of the activities arising out of unemployment in various parts of the nation this winter"
 The president took occasion In his announcement to indicate again his opposition to any efforts by congress to appropriate federal funds for relief work. He said:
 '"rhe task of proper assistance to the deserving Is one which will again appeal to the generosity and humanity of our whole people. It Is a task which our nation will perform, for in no people is there developed a higher sense of local responsibility and of responsibility of every man to his neighbor."
 MT Hoovers announcement fol- lowed two renewed demands that he call a special session of con- gress. One came from Governor Clifford Pinchot of Pennsylvania the other from Rep. Wright Pot man, dem.. Tex.
 Patman telegraphed congress- man of 23 western and southern states, suggesting they meet here in trump" session September l4 to discuss national problems If the president would not call an extra official session.

from the bottleneck this great 15- ton "cork" of steel and concrete. The same trolley pushed the cork into place. There arc ten such i'm pregnable doorseof all sorts. each more ingenious in conception than another, before the gold is reached 80 feet below.
 There. 90 feet under Paris, are the streets of gold. Bullion Is con- stantly arriving.
 Everything is spick and span. The gold is moved on trackless trolleys which are also used to carry visiting inspectors. Grey haired men sit here and there. Their duty Is merely to watch for possible fire. Neat old ladies, grey haired and immaculatelv aproned. walk about touching up the bars with feather dusters.
 None of the employees seems worried by responsibilities. The gold is too heavy to carry by hand; the traps for possible thief are too numerous. The minute any thing goes wrong underground, warning bells clang all the way up 10 the surface. and at police head quarters on nearby streets over Itdu d sDtSidi
 If the thief tries to run, special traps will open flooding compart- ments and shafts with water or trapdoors in the ceilings are sprung and tons of sand crush everything beneath Secret pipes carry gases and steam. Walls and doors are sa nded so smooth that 1t is impos- sible to take hold and flooded meats from which rise slippery sanded steel walls make capture certain.
 The Bank of France prepares for war in lime of peace. If an enemy invades Paris 1t will take him Ut least six months to reach the banks gold. if he ever finds his way there. In the meantime, hum dreds of bank employees will live like kings with all the comfort of home in the gold vaults. Kitchens are there 10 cook meals by steam. If the steam fails l there are electric cooking appli- ances and once the batteries run down there are oil stoves left. Fresh water comes from wells drilled below the vaults. Secret air shafts carry plenty of fresh air Store rooms underground are filled with canned and dried foods and If there is time to prepare for the siege, there is a cold-room to hold tons of beef.

interest of the missing MT Car roll. Judge Meyer was informed that the accused was in his law yer's office just across the street" ," Get him over here right away" ordered the court. It was then discvoered that Carroll was not expected to arrive until 10 o'clock. so the formality of calling the bond proceeded.
 Patrolman Dennis Carey In look ing for suspects wanted in con nection with hold-up near East Main street and Phoenix avenue early this morning encountered Carroll at the corner of Scovill and Brook streets. He demanded an explanation of his presence on the street at that hour. Carroll for some reason was unable to give a satisfa ctory answer and was placed under arrest. At police headquarters when the police cX- amined his bag they found thous- ands of lottery tickets, Triple Ac- tion," kriss krass" and other brands. He was promptly booked on the charge of illegal possession of the tickets. For time Car rol was suspected of being in- volved in the reported hold-up. but the police this morning were no. inclined to link him with the in cident or with the knowledge of the two men responsible.
 The authorities are suspicious of CarroIl's presence in Waterbury. As New Haven and Bridgeport have had their raids and contests over lottery it is believed that the headquarters may be shifted to this city and that Carroll was on the streets here early today waiting 10 make contacts with some of the local agents. In view of the fact that the court officials have taken possession of the tickets operators of the game will be very anxious to prevent them from being placed In circulation until after the draw"
 It was noted that several well known members of the gambling fraternity of Waterbury were present in court today interested in the outcome of the case.

The Lindberghs. flying one of the most dangerous legs of their 1000 mile trip from Washington, D. C., to TOkio, were forced down among the islands as dusk fell yesterday. It was the second time they had been forced to land since leaving Petropavalovsk, Siberia. from Nem- uro.
 The first forced landing was made 25 miles from Petropaval- ovsk and was because of motor trouble. While Mrs Lindbergh tapped out messages on the port able radio assuring the world they were safe. her husband repaired the motor. They were in the air again after two hours.
 They had completed more than half the 9O0-mile flight to Japan when they ran into fog banks so heavy that Lindbergh decided to turn back. After circling about for many minutes looking for hole in the fog, they dropped down safely off the Kurile Islands where the hairy Ainus" roam.
 These islands, stretching from Kamchatka peninsula toward Jap
 
 the people living on them are Of the Ainu tribe, half civilized peo- pie.
 A radio from the Lindberghs, through the wireless of the Shin shiru Maru. said they expected to complete repair of the airplane by dawn and hoped to start for Nem- uro at q. m. provided weather was favorable.
 During the evening the weather cleared and grew calmer. The I.indberghs went to their plane in a lifeboat and worked on the pro- pellor, which had suffered some damage. Later they dined with the captain of the Shinshiru Maru. after which Lindbergh planned to return to the plane and possibly work throughout the night.
 The Shinshiru Maru sent radio message at 7:10 p. m. indicating that the plane was anchored off northern Ketoi. with an additional rope run to the steamship which was anchored some distance off shore.

comedy drama that is outstanding
among the pictures produced in 1880,
in Min and Bill, - co-starring
Marie Dressler and Wallace Beery
which plays tonight at Fox Impe-
rial theatre.
Departing from the slapstick va
riety OF comedy, Miss DresSler is
seen in the role of keeper OF a wa
terfront lodging house and protec-
tor of a homeless girl. There Is
humor in it, but grim sort Of hu-
NOR that catches one in the throat.
Beery, as "her man. has some
what similar role.
An unusually strong cast includes
Dorothy Jordan. Marjorie Ram
beau, Frank McGlynn, Gretta Gould
and others.
Min and Bill' is a gem from
the sordid. Amid all the rankness
and squalor of the waterfront,
MIN manages to keep alive
enough OF her better self to make
the great sacrifice for another.
No motion picture patron who en-
joys a real story and real acting
viii want to miss Min and Bill.'
