| 1s  in room at Hotel Hixon in North Attleboro, Mass, this morning and shortly afterward was brought to Providence county courthouse for questioning.
 i After questioning Hathaway for half an hour, Attorney-General Nc | Lyman announced that the youth had admitted that the highwaymen story which he related so graphical 1 ly to close friend soon after the girls death was purely product of the imagination.
 The attorney-general declined to reveal further details of his ques- tioning of the murder suspect at this time.
 "The big task has been accom- 1 Iplished. We have the man. We haven't time to go into the details, McLyman said.
 Fall Rivers popular playboy, who had led a gay and carefree life as the son of an independently wealthy politician, was sorry figure as he lappeared at the county courthouse here to-day.
 His tiny moustache and his big raccoon coat, the two principal items by which police had hoped to iden- tify him, were both missing. The moustache had been shaved off and the fur coat had been discarded ir favor of an inconspicuous gray cloth coat.
 looked extremely nervous. He was so nervous, in fact, that the attor. general said he had been obliged to obtain Hathaway's version of the girls death through the youths lawyer, Attorney Samuel I. Jacobs who accompanied him to the court house. Also in the party was Dl Louis F. Hathaway, Jr, Springfield physician and brother of the suspect | On their arrival at the courthouse here, the party entered by the little. used Benefit street door and of the crowd waiting in anticipation o! Hathaway's surrender, only one newspaper man saw the group go into the building.
 McLyman, Hathaway, and the other two men were closeted for 3( minutes, during which the suspect is alleged to have admitted the fals ity of the highwaymen story anf during which the attornrey-genera obtained the youths version through his lawyer.
 After this conference, Hathaway in custody of Trooper Marceau ant Assistant Attorney-G Sigmunt w. Fischer left by automobile fol Newport, where he was to be ar raigned before District Judge Maj Lavy on the first degree murder charge later to-day.
 It was. reported without confirma ton that enroute to Newport thu party might stop at Tiverton to viev the scene of the crime.
 Louis E. Hathaway, Massachusett legislator and father of the murde suspect, when informed by tn Limited Press that his son had sur rendered, said: T am glad to know where my sol lis. I am sure he will be able t Iconvince the authorities that he hat nothing to do with this crime"
 Mrs Mary A. Hathaway, the boy mother, said:
 "Oh! I am so happy"
 Shortly afterward, Representative
 Hathaway left his Fall River homo flor an undisclosed destination, be llieved to be Providence county court house.
 "Of all the evidence I have a hand" Attorney General McLymal said. "the girl was strangled in al lattempt to criminally> assault her IThe jealousy and hold-up motive are out.'
 The attorney-ge general added tha lHathaway's version of the girl ,death, as related by his lawyer would not hold water"

 Early reports from hospitals where the injured were taken said 33 per- sons had been treated. Some, it was said, probably would not live.

 interest rate to "A per cent a year. Senator Lewis s. Reed of Waterbury, senate chairman of the committee, presided.
 Commissioner Shippee held that the AZ per cent rate is a fair one in responding to the Burns bill. In opposing the Thoms bill he de- clared that the discontinuance of the present small loan companies that are licensed under the state the gates would be opened to a flood of loan sharks who, unrestricted by law have charged rates as high as 500 per cent.
 The bank commissioner presented to the committee an analysis of the 173 loan companies in the state. He said that 50 per cent of the gross income of Connecticut loan com panies is expended on overhead. He also revealed that the average loan in this state is about $120 and brought out that loans as small as this are the least profitable.
 The committee was also told by the commissioner that he would fa- vor increasing the minimum capital of loan companies from the present requirement. of $25,000 to $50,000 and, in towns of less than 10000 pop ulation, from $10,000 to $25, No bill to this effect is before the legis- lature, though.
 Professor Clyde Fisher of Wesley an university. nationally known economist, read a paper in which he urged the gradual reduction of the present rate of interest. He ad- mitted, though, that this is not the proper time 0 start. He suggest ed the increase in capital require ments in order to better the small loan situation. John J. Egan, sec retary of the Connecticut Federation of Labor, spoke in favor of 36 per cent rate per year. He declared that aL small loan company should not re- uuire a borrower to be employed and then charge AZ per cent on a loan. The borrowers job, he said is good enough security for a lower rate.
 Judge Alexander W. Creedon ap- peared for the small loan companies opposed the reduction. He said that the Russell Sage Foundation set uE the and one half per cent monthly rate. No other state has given the drastic safeguards to the borrower that Conencticut now provides, he said.
 Clayton S. Boies of Seymour, rep resenting the Association of State Banks and Trust companies, ap- proved the reduction to 3 per cent a month. Gustave Fischer of Hart ford opposed any reduction. Sena- tor John Cooney of Hartford, Rep resentative Daniel J.. Mahaney oI Waterbury. Representative Francis Hogan of Torrintgon and Representatives Joseph Jackson and Hugh Burns of Naugatuck also went on record favoring the reduc. ton. Attorney Thoms favored the entire elimination of the small loar act.

Dear Sir:

Dear Sir: During my tenure of the office Of mayor, I have regarded the inter ests of our taxpayers as the princl- pal influence in city government. For this reason, I have introduced into the legislature bill embodying certain revisions in the City Charter which, in the light of experience. l am convinced are desirable for the better conduct of our municipal ai- fairs.
 am unwilling that these pro posals should be considered by the legislative committee Cat a hearing scheduled for Tuesday, April p, without first being explained to those Iwhose interest in this matter should be most vital.
 May I ask you. therefore, to at tend a meeting in the Aldermane Chamber at City Hall, on Friday March 27th, at 2:30 D. m., for the purpose of a frank discussion ol these measures?
 Your presence at this meeting would be most welcome.
 Very truly yours.
 FRANK HAYES. Mayor.
 MayOr Hayes udS dhAouAASNN - nublic invitation to each tax payer to attend the session if he so wishes to hear the proposed new changes and listen to the discussion, taking part if he so desires. This, stated the mayor, is for the purpose oi getting the opinion of the water bury taxpayers. The changes of the charter and inc new recommendations were enumerated in last nights Democrat with the exception of the recom- rlendation that the mayor be given the veto power over the actions oi the board of education, a seat on the board of aldermen, without a vote however. and would give him the power to regulate the pay ot clerks and employees o9 the City Hall and departments and additional power in the appointing and re- ,noving of officials.
 There is no change which states that the city controller and city tax collector shall be appointed. This has been dropped entirely and the ositions will remain elective ones.
 Back taxes. it was said. received from the first of January of each year to the first of May, shall go into the city treasury instead of the sur plus resource sinking fund.

MYRA HESS CONCERT
VERY SATISFACTORY

A woman played a piano in In
dianapolis yesterday afternoon. She
played with a great understanding
of the composers work, which she
had selected for her concert. She
played with forcefulnesS, and a
fiery temperament that is most
fitted for the concert stage.
This woman is Myra Hess. She
has been here before, last season
she was here. but this was the first
time 1 had ever heard her, and it
was indeed a pleasant and enjoy
able experience.
I was late in arriving at the con-
cert, and did not hear the first
selection from Cesar Franck. I
missed little of the Bach number.
italian Concerto" but heard
enough Of it to know liked the way
she plays Bach.
The third number was from
Brahms, and the fourth consisted
of Nocturne, and six EGudes of
lChopin's. Miss Hess played Chopin
beautifully and with great feeling.
1t was a real treat. Several en-
cores were demanded by the audi
ence, after she had finished her
program.
Myra Hess was brought to this
city by the Indianapolis Maenner-
Choir. (By Connell Turpen.)

the life of this family reminds one
Of riot. It is not necessary for
me to go into the story of THE
Royal Family" because I went to
Cincinnati over a year ago to see
the original New York company and
recently the Civic theeter of Indi-
annapolis did fine job with it.
In considering the movie, / will
deal with the cast, direction, sets,
Photography and the like. The oil
rector took certain liberties with
the story and I think the changes
have been better for screen plr-
poses.
You are concerned with Grand
mother Cavendish, as played by
that good veteran. Henrietta Cros-
man; Tony, the hot screen lover,
who always is getting into trouble,
as played by Frederic March; Julie,
the big creature of the family, as
played by Ina Claire, and Gwen, the
daughter of Julie, as played by
Mary Brian.
The movie director has dropped
the other members of the royal fam
lily and the way the action is de-
veloped they are not really needed.
The director has completely
changed the ending; instead of per-
hitting Fanny Cavendish to die in
the chair in her home, they allow
the old soul to go back trouping and
die in her dressing room.
I think the ending is effective for
movie purposes, but not for the
stage. In the stage version, Fanny,
as played so wonderfully by Hsidee
Wright, dies in her chair and ac-
cept5 death by dropping her cane.
The way she dropped the cane made
the scene famous.
Miss Crosman is marvellous in her
version of the part, although it is
basicly different from that of Miss
Wright. March certainly looks and
acts like John Barrymore. And he is
a hit in the role.
Ina Claire could not be improved
upon as Julie. Her emotional scenes
are immense. would classify the
entire cast as nearly perfect

because he killed the head of the
crime commission as a holdup was
in progress. Then the law turns
loose on Little Caesar. Even the
law finds it hard to reach Rico, but
the sap gets the big head and as
usual plays right into the hand Of
the law and order. The police know
that Caesar started from the gut
ter and returned to it, the return
being marked by the only difference
that Rico was alive when he left
the gutter. The police are good
shots sometimes in the movies. But
the law gets its man.

dramatic theater In fact. it is
bully, noisy gang life entertainment.
At times you would think that the
war started all over again.
From the standpoint Of a gang
land story, Little Caesar" is most
exciting and most interesting. That
was to be expected because the
novel, a serial now being published
in The Times, is an entertaining
knockout.
Admitting that Little Caesar
has the goods as far as material
is concerned, must admit that the
cast, headed by Edward G. Robin
son as Little Caesar, and Douglas
Fairbanks Jr., as Joe Mascara, has
much to do with the Knockout bang

son fits this one. He knows how
to play these crook characters in the
right manner. And he is a good
artist. He knows how to make you
