LOADED FROGS IN THE ANNUAL
 JUMPING CONTEST MAY CALL
 FOR THE OLD NECKTIE PARTIES

our old custom of holding necktie parties. Of coure, now, the persons will get a fair and square trial af- rewards. If we aren't too busy with the jubilee."
 The committees pledge set at rest fears of trainers who are putting the 1b0 croakers through the hurdles in preparation for the contest next Sunday. They remembered the ex- perience of the original jumping Calaveras frog, as described by Mark Twain.' Some miscreant loaded the frog with buck shot and he. got slug gish about hace time.
 To make sure there will be no trickery when the leaping frogs toe the mark, trainers will be allowed to shake their charges three times be- fore the race.
 The entry list is the biggest in years and includes the best jumpers from the United States, Germany. Canada and other frog-conscious na- tions. The race. has been an annual event of the mother lode country ever since Twain's story "put the town on the map."

By Invoking Sanitary Code Officials Are Able to Keep Undesirables on the Move-NO Trace of Vamp Who Filtered Roll From Thomas Smith

waterbury police broadcast a warn ing about the gypsies and asked that a band riding around the state in automobiles equipped with Ohio state markers be stopped and ouizzed about the robbery here, they received word from Bristol. Dan bury, Newtown and other towns that machines with Ohio markers oper- ated by gypsies. had just" passed drought that section. There are apparently 90 many gypsies in the state at present that the authorities are inclined to believe that a na- tional convention is about to be staged. Word, however. was re- ceived from the state police depart ment headquarters in Hartford that the presence of the rowing bands will not be tolerated. Too many complaints of theft and robbery have been received concerning them and the official orders are to keep them moving.
 By invoking the sanitary code the police are in Q position to keep them from conducting fortune-tell- ing business and living in stores.

Mayors From 19
 American Cities
(Continued from Page 1)

"It may seem like taking a ham sandwich to a banquet" said Mayor George l.. Baker, of Portland, Ore, but you'll notice that all of us who have wives are taking them along, too. The party is sure to be digni- fled, and the ladies may lend some grace to an otherwise motley assem- blaze. All classes, kinds and politics are represented here. But we're go- ing to try to sink our political diff ferences over there."
 The mayors and their wives were guests last night at a formal dinner on board the He De France, given as a "bon voyage" party by Jean Til- Der of Commerce. Representing the French government, Jules Henry, counsellor to the French embassy, spoke happily of the events the party will witness.
 "The significance, of the Interna- ional Colonial exposition you will see," he told them, rests in the fact that the new France to-day is in her colonies and protectorates." "It is there, especially in Tunisia, Algeria and Morocco, that our fu- ture greatly lies" he said. "and every Frenchman realizes it." M. Henry referred genially to the fact that the Americans may have an opportunity to "teach their pal- ates" something of French vintages, and said he hoped the American electorate would understand.
 At D. m. to-day, the mayors were received by Mayor James J. Walker at city hall. Walker, who has been a frequent visitor to France, was called upon to give his fellow municipal executives some choice advice as to the paths they should follow.
 The mayors party includes: MT and Mrs J. c. Porter of Los Angeles, Calif; MT and Mrs Victor J. Miller, of St Louis, Mo; Mir and Mrs Will liam F. Broening, of Baltimore. Md; MT and Mrs Daniel W. Hoan, of Mill waukee, Wis; MT and Mrs T. Scanned Walmsley and Miss Wa1m- sley of New Orleans, La; MT and Mrs Bryce B. Smith and Miss smith, or Kansas City. Mo; MT and Mrs James l.. Key and Miss Key, of Att lanta, Ga; MT and Mrs Richard L. Metcalfe of Omaha, Neb; MT and Mrs R. B. Marvin, of Syracuse. N. r.; J. F. Bright, of Richmond, Va; MT and Mrs Walter E. Patterson. of Hartford, Conn; Frederick W. Don- nelly, of Trenton, N. J.: Mir and Mrs R. D. Thomason, of Fl Paso, Tex; MT and Mrs Franklin D. Lane. of Phoenix, Arizona: MT and Mrs James F. Pope. of Boise. Idaho; and MT and Mrs Alvin P. Gray, of Pasco, Washington.
 Representing other cities are: Henri Prince, New York; Judge Frank M. Padden, Chicago; Sylves- ter Andriano, San Francisco; and E.. Kirk Mckinney. Indianapolis.
 Mayor James M. Curley of Boston sailed last week, and Mayor Benja- min F., Stapleton of Denver sails next Friday, both of them joining the party in Paris.

Connecticut is being invaded by a small army of gypsies and the car- avan on wheels has given the police in various parts of the state no little trouble.
 To-day the local police served no- tice on a band of nomads. who had pitched their tents on the old Rye lots to keep on moving. They also visited a store on Grand street and served an eviction notice on sev- erai members of the same outfit and informed them that they had better seek new quarters somewhere be- yond the city's boundary lines.
 As the result of a gypsy girl robbing Thomas Smith of South Main street of $280, the Water bury authorities are determined that the unwelcome visitors will not be permitted to remain here.

COMPROMISE AIM
OF Power FARLEY
Pepco Officials and Members
of Utilities Commission
Meet Monday.

Potomac Electric Power Co. officials
will meet with members Of the Public
Utilities Commission next Monday in
an effort to compromise on the dispute
between the two on the matter of Wash
ington power rates without resort to
court action. The decision was reached
at meeting of the Executive Commit
tee Of the company's board of directors
late yesterday, when it accepted the in
vitation of Corporation Counsel Will
liam W. Bride, for the commission, to
enter negotiations.
The commission, when setting the
present rate, found the current arrange
mentS for fixing rates under decree of
Equity Court, which has been in force
since January l, 1925, yield the COM
pany an excessive rate of return on it's
agreed valuation. Mr. Bride has pre-
pared for the commission a petition to
the court to modify the decree to leave
more money available for rate reduc-
tons out of the company's excess
profits. The commission is holding the
petition up, however, in an effort to see
if its ends cannot be accomplished by
negotiation instead OF by expensive and
slow litigation.
After the committee meeting yester-
day, the company would make no state
ment as to what it would accept, if
anything, in the way of a compromise
decree. The present decree calculates
the rate reductions each year at fig
ure to equal one-half of the excess
earnings of the company above 71a
per cent on its fair value.
