Bank Door Locked
 And Trouble Starts
(Continued from Page 1)

I Russo had left town he is said to have gone to Summa & Summa to | make his complaint.
 George Veneziano. son of John Veneziano of 51 Jefferson street
 made a formal complaint to the To- cal Chamber of Commerce office. He came to the office of the Water bury Democrat and told q reporter
 that his father had deposited $2OO in this Russo exchange about year ago. He said his father believed the office to be a bank and exhibited a book, which resembled bank book. The book showed several withdraw als had been made and an entry of "$43S."
 Frank J. Green, secretary of the lccal office of the Chamber of Com
 merce, said Russo has no license to conduct banking business but that | he has license to conduct money | forwarding business. Veneziano's
 son said his father never ordered any money sent to Italy. It is un- derstood that all of the other "de- positors' never ordered any money sent across to Italy.
 MT Green said his attention to the
 case was only called this morning. He said he had no knowledge that Russo was not conducting legit- l innate steamship agency business. It is expected that Deputy Bank ing mmissioner Baldwin, Secre- tary Green and States Attorney Lewis will cooperate in their inves- legations so that an announcement
 will be made within q short time.

Radio Broadcasting
 Stole March On The
 Newspaper Business
Publisher of st Louis Star Says the Publishers Watched It Being Done Without Protest, Until It Was Too Late

1 the United Press associations, called l New Empires" from which Rob- erts quoted as follows:
 "Once let the radio become di-
 rectly and seriously competitive with | the newspaper, as news distributor
 as we'll as an important creator of
 advertising energy, the issue will be | joined and the newspaper will fight bitterly with all its power and its
 varied resources to protect It's very life. There are to-day unfortunate
 ly plenty of indications that this
 struggle may be inevitable"
 A vigorous defense of the United | States senate as "the most democra- tic and the most useful institution we have" was made by Paul Y. An
 derson, Washington correspondent oi | tho St Louis Post-Dispatch.
 Anderson said the unpopularity ot | the senate outside Washington was
 due to unfamiliarity with its true | character.
 Relations between cong ress, par l ticu!arly the senate, and the press are satisfactory in direct ratio to | their their intimacy" he said. Discussing faults of the Washing ! ton correspondents. Anderson said: "The most conspicuous fault of 1 the Washington correspondents, in my judgment, Is an inferiority com plex in dealing with public men, es- | pecially with those in exalted posi- | tions. When a railroad lawyer goes | to the supreme court; or when the leading Buick dealer of Trenton, Mo- becomes secretary of agriculture; or when a successful promoter of min | ing stock companies enters the
 White House; it is extremely doubt full that any magical transformation occurs. But the first step of the average correspondent is to build up a series of romantic myths about
 their respective qualities and achieyements-whi presently he finds himself believing"

Atherton, Danbury. A resolution calling for appoint ment of William A. Kelley as asso- ciate judge of the town court of Darien was passed under suspension lof the rules. The house reimbursed the New Haven Railroad $4,0o0 for removing a ledge. The most important bill passed by
 the senate provided for increase of the state estate tax from 60 per cent
 to 80 per cent, This was in accord lance with a suggestion made by fed- era1 tax officials after State Tax Com- missioner William F. BIodgett had
 declared the United States was
 holding Connecticut up with shot, Igun.'
 The senate tabled favorable re- port on a measure which would au-
 lthorize towns and cities to abolish ielective assessors and substitute one Appointed assessor. Bills which would have increased
 the amount of liability in an automo-
 bile accident from $5.000 to $10,000 land provided for appointment of ad- ditional state referees were rejected lby the senate.

Princeton, N. J.. April 24.--(UP)
 The problem faced by the press of the nation in the competition of radio broadcasting was detailed to-day by Elzey Roberts, publisher of the St Louis Star, in an address before the conference on the press given by the school of public and international affairs of Princeton university.
 Roberts. who as chairman of the American Newspaper Publishers as- sociation radio committee has spent much time examining the radio problem as related to newspapers. said that newspapers reached out and grabbed the radio infant, and Through forced feeding and careful nurturing, raised it to fuli-fledged manhood in about ten years
 The problem of competition prob ably would never have arisen, Rob- ierts said, if radio had been per- mitted Ito develop normally and na- .turally' instead of being nurtured by newspapers.
 Newspaper publishers, according to Roberts, did not regard the mat ter seriously until recently, when in 1880 the radio chains carried nearly $2s.000, 900 in advertising.
 with the revenue from radio ad- svertising coming in." he said, "the br0adcasters began to get more am- bilious ideas. Why not become news papers of the air?
 "All we have to do, reasons the broadcaster, is read what they print into our microphone. Better still, we'll make arrangements direct with press associations to broadcast their bulletins before any newspa- per can possibly put them in type. And again. the newspa pers in the role of indulgent parents, failed to protest and paid the bill"
 That newspaper men are beginning to realize the inroads of the radio is shown, Roberts said, in recent book by Karl A. Bickel, president of

Tied to Tree 3 DAYS

Pittsburgh.-When Frank Sopoliski
hired saddle horse and had not re-
turned it two days later George Fas-
sinder, owner of the South Hills riding
schools, figured something was wrong.
A 12-hour search located Sopoliski at
his home.
Then, Fassinder told Humane society
officials, Sopoliski thought of the hose
for the first time since he had gone
swimming in South park pool. He
wasn't quite certain where he had left
the horse, Fassinder said. but they
finally found it in clump of woods
a quarter of mile from the pool.
The horse, its owner said, had been
tied to tree so closely that it had
not been able to reach food nor water
during the &c hours 1t was there.
At a hearing before Add Patrick
Cawley. Sopoliski was fined $40 for
cruelty to animals land posted $1,000
bond for a hearing on the criminal
charge of failing to return a rented
horse.
