The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-01-10

A letter sent out yesterday to customers of Boody, Mcclellan & Co, will undoubtedly be of interest to all concerned with the stock mar ket. The letter follows:-
 It has been many months since we communicated with our friends through the medium of market letter. Since that time the high prices of securities and the difficult ties in the credit situation as evil denced by high money rates. to which we alluded. have been cor- rected.
 We have for a considerable time had the thought that we might be of assistance to our clients in try ing to determine the approximate point where a turn in speculative security values might be expected. We feel that there are evidences that the greatest effect of the liquid- ation has been felt and that low prices have been reached. We write this letter to you and to our clients in order that you may know of our decision. Stocks have rallied some- what from the extreme low of some days ago. After all, stocks decline because of the urgent pressure of sellers and they rise because buy CTS are more aggressive in their attitude. On that basis of reason ing. we feel that after a decline of so many months in the market, after so many weak spots have been eliminated through the selling of recurities. after so many speculative accounts on margin have been liquidated, we cannot expect to see the market reach new low levels

 Confident Of Future
Letter Sent Out to Clients Expresses Opinion That the

unless some added impulse is giv- en to further liquidation. We can- not see anything on the horizon to give the added push necessary to force prices down to their recent low levels.
 We feel prices of securities will advance before it Is definitely shown that general business condi- tions are improving. We believe that people have been putting their affairs In order and the great pro- gress made along this line in the past year adds much strength to the present situation. We believe the next step will be forward step. We feel the future of American business enterprise has not been dimmed particle by the severe depression which has visited us. In fact, we feel that we will go forward in a surer and safer way because of this temporary obstruction to our pro- gress.
 We recommend the purchase of speculative securities of the better sort both by traders and by those who wish to hold speculative se- curities over long period.

He denies the charge. The author ities, however, are of the opinion that the youth will confess and aid them in recovering the guns. Thir- teen revolvers packed in a box were hidden in the doorway of the Armory, apparently to be taken away later, but the idea was aban- doned.

FREEZING PIPES
 IN COLD WEATHER
Supply Should Be Shut Off When Closing House for
 Few Days
AVOID AMATEUR RELIEF

With the height of the winter sea- son approaching. officials of Connec- ticut water supply utilities have is- sued warning to their customers throughout the state to take precau- ton against the freezing of water pipes should they leave their homes for winter vacations. They state that there is only one certain method of avoiding frozen pipes and that is to shut off the water supply at the main outlet and to drain all water from the pipes before closing the home even for a few days.
 In closed dwelling where the heating plant is shut down and where the above precaution is not taken, a sudden cold snap is almost certain to result in frozen water pipes and large plumbing bills. This Is especially true in the New England climate where Q prevailing moderate temperature, giving the impression that draining the system is unnecessary, is very apt to be followed quickly by spell of ex- ceedingly frigid weather. Frozen pipes are not only likely to burst, but to ruin the entire water system.
 Tn case the water supply is not turned off and the freezing of pipes does take place, water company of- ficials caution against the employ ment of amateur methods of cor recting the situation. It is best to call an expert plumber rather than to attempt the old fashioned method of thawing the frozen pipes with candles and other means of apply ing heat

Relief Bill Is

 consin, offered federal program far | broader than any previously ad- vanced to relieve distress both in the cities and on farms.
 In the house, administration lead CTS still bottled up the one relief measure that is before congress- for action, the bill to furnish loans for farmers in drought-stricken areas.
 Democrats and a lone republican. Representative La Guardia, New York. still were attempting to get consideration of this bill in such a way that they could add provisions for food Administration leaders, un- alterably opposed to this, were intent upon preventing direct vote upon the food loan proposition, fearing they could not hold their lines.
 Bitterness is growing among house factions, and there is feeling the lid will blow off unless republican leaders act soon. There were indica- tions to-day they would devise a method for consideration early next week.
 Pressure will increase upon them with the enhanced drive for more comprehensive relief measures in the senate. They are finding their po- sition more difficult because of re- action from the demands in the sen- ate. Senator Caraway, democrat, Arkansas, has introduced the $15,- 100000 food loan revision, which is included in the senate bill now be- fore the house, as an amendment to the deficiency bill now pending in the senate. He will seek to add it to that measure If the house votes down the appropriation.
 The Wagner and LaFollette pro- pOsals attracted interest also in the house, especially among democrats and insurgents, who seem to be com ing together on both sides of the capitol in a move that may result in more radical legislation than hither- to considered.
 Wagner's bill calls for federal and state cooperation in unemployment insurance. It would provide a $100,- 100000 annual appropriation to be added to state appropriations for an insurance fund. Federal contribution woud be limited to one-third of the state fund.
 Wagner proposed that state funds for unemployment insurance be ob- tained by appropriation of the leg islatures, contributions from munic- qualities and from private individ- uals.
 LaFollette's four-point program calls for appropriations for food and clothing in drought-stricken areas; federal aid { local relief movements: pubic building program ''so great the government can prevent a repe- titioE of the present situation next winter" and mobilization of finan- cial and industrial leaders to solve the problem of distribution and pro- vide direct relief for unemployment.

Gang Business Had
 Begun To Suffer
(Continued from Page 1)

Having crossed the northsiders, Lingle was murdered in pedestrian subway, apparently at the dictatlon of Jack Zuta and Joe Aiello, since assassinated, so the illicit activities of Capone's gangsters on the south side would be curbed by the subse- auent outbreak of public indigna- tion.
 Tn gang vernacular, the "heat was turned on" after Lingle's death Capone's profits shrank to the van- ishing point under police drives. His saloons were closed. Gambling houses and vice resorts which had poured wealth into Capones coffers, were darkened.
 Capone's machine gunners struck back.
 Jack Zuta was attacked one Aug ust night in a police automobile In brilliantly lighted State street. Later that month the cringing Moran gangster was murdered by machine gunners in a Delafield, Wis, dance hall as he dropped nickels into a mechanical piano.
 A few days before the November elections. Joe Aiello was ambushed in his northwest side hiding place by two gangs of machine gunners. It was the most spectacular gang kill ing since the St Valentine day mass acre.
 Although Zuta and Aiello, the "big shots'' of the northside had fallen victim to Capone's vengeance, police still suppressed Capone's "busi- nesses." Gangsters were hailed be- fore Judge John H. Lyle. and held on bonds so high even a gangster couldn't raise them. Several were sent to jail for carrying concealed weapons, almost an unprecedented thing in Chicago court history. Sev- eral gangsters were convicted on vagrancy charges, bow at a gang

 ed decision on the arguments.
 The decision states: The verdict as rendered cannot be held to jn- clude damages beyond fair and req sonable compensation to the plain tiff. nor cen it be held to shock the sense of justice so as to compel the conclusion that the jury were .n- fiuenced by partiality, prejudice, mis take or corruption" The decision points out that counsel for the de- fendant agreed that the damages were excessive but reserved the right to argue that the amount was against the evidence. The decision further adds "The defendants coun- sells claim that the plaintiff deliber- ately failed to use rouge and lip stick and other claimed aids to a woman s facial appearance in order to en- nance her claim that she had aged in appearance as a result of her 1n- Juries, was no. founded on any evil dcnce in the case and it certainly cannot be said the jury could have been unduly influenced thereby"

ster's vanity. In addition, Ralph Capone, brother of Al, Jake Guzik. his business manager" and Frank Nitti, a cousin, were convicted of evading income tax payments
 The gang business, which had fiourished for 10 years, seemed doomed to succumb to the drives of law and order.
 Then, according to information obtained by the United Press, Capone hit upon plan to point out the killer of Lingle on the theory that law and order adherents would consider the battle won and turn their attention elsewhere. permitting illicit gold to flow again into Capone's strong boxes.
 Accordingly, it was learned. Capone deviously communicated with Pat Roche, head of the Lingle "clearing house" investigators, and offered to reveal Lingles murderer but only after the Capone "execu- ton squad" had taken the slayer -"for a ride"
 Roche is said to have refused to bargain for only the body of Lingle's killer. He wanted the murderer alive. Capone finally yielded and Brothers was the man and told where he could be found.
 Acting on that information, Roche trapped Brothers in south side apartment. but he has yet to be charged formally with the Lingle killing.
 Roche and States Attorney John A. Swanson were victorious late yes- terday in their efforts to keep Brothers in a secret prison despite efforts of an attorney, a former friend of Lingle's to have him re- leased on Q writ of habeas corpus.
 The attempt to gain Brothers freedom was made by Attorney Tyrell Krum, former employe of the Tribune, who said he was hired by Brothers mother, who lives in St. Louis.
 krum's plea that the writ hearing be held at once was denied and it was set for January IA. By that time, Roche said, Brothers will be indicted and held without bond.

Change in the
 Personal Tax Term
(Continued from Page 1.)

This latter period expired on Jan- uary 2nd, last, and while it has been learned that Mayor Hayes plans to re-aDpoint Attorney Stokes as per- sonal tax collector no formal action has been taken due to the lack of de- cision, to date, on whether to make the appointment for two or four years.
 Attorney Stokes has built up his office routine to the best it has ever been in the history of the city and the proceeds realized through this branch of the municipal governm ent, have been the best, in proportion to the amount expended, annually, that Waterbury has seen.
 Therefore, Mayor Hayes has de- cided to re-appoint Attorney Stokes, it is reported, but the whole ques- tion is that of how long the term will run. Action Is expected to be- come due in March.
 Heretofore it has been erroneous lv believed by most persons that the term was a four-year one. But the act creating such an office does not SO signify but merely states that the term must not be for more than four years. Therefore, ik is now said that the present mayor may cut tho term In half. Definite developments are anticipated in the next week or so.

Market Continues
 Encouraging Tone
Brisk Demand for Securities in Early l93l Trading
 Taken as Sign of Improvement

New York. Jan 10-Following closely the forecasts that have been made Tn well-informed quarters, the first week of the new year has re- flected rather encouraging prospects In both business and financial fields. The outcome has been an attitude of growing confidence, and a good tone in buying that had not been apparent at any previous time with in recent weeks. Not only was the tax-selling burden lifted from the market, but encouraging news of a number of kinds has tended to make investors feel that they could now with safety purchase securities in which they had previously hesitated ot make commitments. The result has been a brisk demand for shares, and a marking up of securities all around that has afforded a real basis for growth in the future. Business

Proposed City
 Manager Plan
(Continued from Page 1.)

Senator Reeds standing in rela- ton to the proposed city manager bill will be of interest, due to the fact that he has been prominently connected with the finance boards of both the present and past adminis- trations. He is in a position, 1t is felt, to see where such a plan as that proposed by the supporters of the city manager plan would aid Waterbury and. also. to see where the plan would be unnecessary in the face of many reforms put into effect in the city government during the year 1880 by Mayor Frank Hayes and his administration.

Increase in Rates of Parcel Post
 May Be Fought

Washington Jan 10-UP)-An in- crease in parcel post rates, sponsored by Postmaster-Gener Brown, may meet with senate opposition next week from members who believe the proposal benefits express agencies at the expense of public service.
 Senator McKellar. dem., Tennes- see, said today he would press for a vote Monday upon his resolution blocking Browns action.
 "I am convinced, McKellar said, "that higher rates would harm the parcel post service while aiding ex- press companies. It would tend to take the business from the govern ment."
