ATTORNEY UPS0N
 AT BAR MEETING
Large Number of Members Heard Report of Judicial
 Council
AT HOTEL WATERBURY

A special meeting of the Water bury Bar association will be called within a couple of weeks for the purpose of discussing recommenda- tions of the judicial council in its report to the state legislature. The action followed the reading of a re- port on several suggestions the judicial council makes in it's report. by Attorney J. Warren Upson at the monthly meeting of the local bar as- sociation at the Hotel Waterbury this noon.
 There are IS suggestions in the councils report, copies of which are now in the hands of the printer MT. Upson said. Three of the outstanding suggestions the council recommends are: Adoption of a statute whereby juries will include nine rather than 12 in the panel; change the terms and sessions of the supreme court so that 1t will remain stationary in one city, preferably Hartford and make appeals returnable the first Tuesday of each month; establishment of district court to take the place of town and borough courts and jus tices of the peace.
 It was the concensus of opinion that a special meeting should be called to discuss each recommenda- tions of the judicial council and either go on record as approving or disproving each suggestion. It was left with Attorney John H. Cassidy, president of the local bar associa- tion to call the meeting.
 The association voted to accept the report of the committee which drew up resolution which is pro- Losed to be sent to the state legis- lature for adoption. Attorney James M. Lynch was chairman of the com mittee which drew up the resoiu- tion. Others on the committee were Attorneys Walter Monagan, Patrick Healey, J Warren Upson and J. Jo- seph Smith. It deals with placing the burden of proof of contributory negligence on the defendant, in civil actions where has occurred with no eye witnesses.
 Attorney Carroll c. Hincks whose recommendation as Federal Judge awaits approval came in for bit Of applause when his name was men toned. William M. Gillette, clerk of the common pleas court was also acclaimed when President Cassidy announced the former is beginning 40 years of service as clerk of that court. A committee in charge of to- days luncheon including Attorneys Vincent 4. Scully, J. William Carroll. John Gaffney, Perry Graicerstein and John Membrino were given a vote of appreciation for their efforts in get. ting the large turnout present.

Popular Intelligence

1t is remarked that 1t is quite difficult thing in many towns to obtain support for courses of informing lectures. It is claimed that people are not as interested as they were in making themselves intelligent about the things going on in the world. The people who manage organization work in many cit ies remark that they have to put on light and frivolous entertainments in order to please their members. They seem to fear that peo- pie will be bored if they are given substan- tial information. They claim that where people formerly listened attentively to dis cusslons of modern science. government cial welfare. travel. etc. now they want some amusing stunt that will make them laugh
 People have many more sources of in formation than formerly. They take news papers and magazines more freely. News papers enlarged. and they print far more informative stuff than ever before Much information comes over the radio. News films and other features of moving pictures illustrate many phases of modern life. There was never so much popular intelligence as there is today,
 The people who manage clubs and soce- ties should not be too sure that the public wants frothy stuff. They may simply be tired of prosy speakers who do not know how to make good subject interesting The person who can tell story of real progress of how modern ideas are being spread. and who can tell that story in clear and lucid way can be sure of an audience The peo- pie will listen and applaud. They will go home better satisfied than if they had been asked 10 take part in some child's game.

 Washington, Jan 5.-Up)-Con- gress reconvened at noon to-day af- ter it's Christmas recess, and in a little more than an hour the house had disposed finally of the admin istration relief program. It passed the joint resolution appropriating $45,0O0,00O for loans to drought stricken farmers and the measure now goes to the senate. The $45,000,00O appropriation was authorized just before the holi- day recess, but the resolution adopt ed by the house to-day was neces- sary to provide funds.
 Meanwhile in the senate. Senator CaraWay, dem, Ark, introduced a resolution to increase the appropri- ation by $15,000,000 and to make the entire $GO,0O0,000 available for human as well as stock food, thus reviving the old controversy which was sharp before the holiday re- cess.
 MT Hoover refused to permit hu- man food to be included specifically in the original measure. Caraway's s l resolution to-day was prompted, he said, by news of food demonstrations in Arkansas by hungry farmers. Senator Caraway, democrat, Ar kansas, asked unanimous consent for a vote on his motion to discharge the finance committee from further con- sideration of his bill to pay eX-ser- vice men the face value of their ad- justcd compensation certificates. Senator Smoot, republican, Utah, ob jected and the matter went over un- der the rules.
 The Caraway bill provides that the secretary of the treasury pay the face value of the certificate to any veteran making application within one year after passage of the measure.

SITE OFFERED
FOR IRvINGTON
HIGH BUILDING
Five Acres at Washington
and Emerson Proposed
for School.

Five acres at the southwest corner
Of East Washington street and EN-
erson avenue, known as the Hilton
U. Brown property, have been Of
fered to the school board as site
for the proposed Irvington high
school.
The offer, consideration for which
depends on appraisement, was pre-
sented to A. B. Good, business man
ager, by James w. Carr, president
Of the Union Development Com
pany, who represents Brown.
Plans for an Irvington high school
were abandoned after the board Sc
cured property west and slightly
south Of the Brown site two years
ago. This land owned by the board
touches no street, but will when
Pleasant Run boulevard is extended.
1t is believed the present school
board is not favorable to erection
Of the proposed Irvington school be-
cause Of the cost and because the
six city high schools will accom-
modate 1000 more pupils.
School officials point out that IA
cilities needed at Broad Ripple and
now under construction must be at
tended to before further building
projects are undertaken. Fire haz-
ards at the latter school are to be
investigated by Paul G. Stetson, SUI
perintendent, and a committee soon.

INVITATION TO
U. S. REEVES
LAFAYETTE ROW
Descendants of Famous
French Soldier Quarrel
Over Who Is Who.
BY RALPH HEINZEN
United Press stan Correspondent

PARIS, Jan. 29.--An ancient con-
troversy among the members Of the
Lafayette family has been reopened
by an invitation for descendants Of
the famous soldier to attend the
sesqui-centennial Of the battle Of
Yorktown in America next October.
The old quarrel unwittingly was
revived by the United States state
department in sending the invita-
ton, and some doubt has been raised
as to whether any of the actual
blood descendants of Lafayette will
go to America next autumn.
The American embassy in Paris
discovered there are hundred or
more Frenchmen and Italians who
claim to be descendants, but among
them there are but twenty or thirty
actual blood descendants, and they
are quarreling among themselves as
to who is who.
Agree on Real Head
All agree the real master Of the
family today is Count Louis De
Lasteyrie, last Of his line and di-
rect descendant of Lafayette's Sec
ond-born daughter, Virginie, who
married Colonel Marquis De Las
teyrie.
Count De Lasteyrie lives in the
Lafayette castle, La Grange, south
east Of Paris, where hard times have
reduced the estate to the beautiful
stone-towered castle, its drawbridge
and moat and fifty acres of ground.
The name of Lafayette actually
became extinct with the death of
Oscar and Edmond Lafayette, sons
Of Lafayette's only son, George
Washington Lafayette. Lafayette
himself renounced the title Of lar
quis when France became a re-
public.
Some years ago a descendant Of
Oscar Lafayette, M Pourcet De
Sahume, went to the council of state
and obtained legal permission to
change his name to M. De Sahune-
Lafayette.
Family Quarrel Started
That started a family war, for
after getting the courts permission
to add the Lafayette with a hyphen,
the bearer changed his name VOL
UNFAIRLY to Marquis De Lafayette,
dropping his original name entirely.
His son became Count Jacques De
Lafayette, although there never be-
fore had been a count in the family.
This angered other descendants
who look upon Count Louis De Las
teyrie as the head of the family,
holder of the family home.
Count De Lasteyrie and other
descendants indicated they will re-
use to go to America If the Mar
quis De Lafayette or his son, Count
De Lafayette, go under those names.
