JOBLESS AID
FIGHT DUE
IN SENATE
Wagner Bill Seen Likely to
Pass Next Week as Appeal
For Bonus Loses Out

The jobless relief battle was
opened in the Senate today
with an appeal by Senator
Wagner (D.) of New York for
enactment of his $2,00O,O00,OOO
Federal-State program to pre-
vent suffering and stimulate
employment.
Determined to wage finish
fight on the measure, friends OF
the relief legislation blocked at
tempts to bring up Philippine in
dependence and the independent
offices appropriations bill.
The Wagner program, substitu-
ted for the Garner program,
which passed the House. thus
making possible a Senate House
conference if the Senate passes
the measure, includes $1,500,O0O,-
900 for the Reconstruction FL
nance Corporation. and a half
billion dollars for public works.
will Create Jobs
The measure provides that
funds of the Finance Corpora
ton would be loaned to states,
cities and private industry for
projects which would create jobs.
Attacking the attitude of Sec
retary of Treasury Mills, who
opposed a public works program,
Wegner declared that his plan
would give employment to 2,000,-
900 men for one year.
Citing figures of experts, he
said:
taking a conservative view
of these figures, it is plain that
the two billion dollar program
embraced in the bill should
provide one and One-third mil
lion of fulI-day, fulI-year jobs.

"By giving effect to the 30
hour week clause contained in
the bill, we increase that num-
Der of working opportunities by

"In round figures that means
that we have the power to open

be responsible for One-quarter
of that.

promise of assistance in setting

of trade once more to flow with

Shouse Predicts Repeal Plank
Such as Bingham Proposed

) Bv GEORGE r. HOLMES

CHICAGO, June 18 (EN.SO.
On the heels of the departing
Republicans, the Democrats
began moving into Chicago to-
day, eager to capitalize the
mistakes they consider the
Republicans made, militantly
confident for November-but
at the same time somewhat
apprehensive as to what the
next fortnight holds in store
for them.
For the Democrats face all the
fights that the Repuollcans
staged-and more, many more.
And with characteristic pugnaclty
the Democrats can be expected TO
show each other no quarter.
Smith in the Lead
First, there is the fight to stop
Roosevelt" It will be waged with
deadly earnestness, with AL smith
himself in the directing role.
Smith will reach Chicago next
Thursday.
Second, there will be a real
battle over the vice presidential
nomination, irrespective of how
the top fight comes out.
And, third, there is always pro-
hibition.
Most of the assembling Demo
Gratis believe the Republicans left
the door wide open on their pro-
hibition plank.
So the Democrats will have a
stronger plank-in all probability
one, that calls for reSubmisslon
to the people of straight-out re-
peal versus retention of the
Eighteenth Amendment.
Must "COme Clean
Jouett Shouse, executive chair
man of the party. and who has
been in close contact with party
leaders for two years, expressed
the opinion today that this would
be about as far as the conven'
ton would so.
The more the vets studied that
Republican prohibition plank to,
day the less they liked it. And
the more determined they be,
came that the Democratic plank
will come clean" on the issue.
That was an indirect thrust at
something that a good many
Democrats are thinking about
and talking about privately
Governor Roosevelt's physical con-
dition.
The Texan spokesman also
took a dig at the Roosevelt forces

CHRISTMAS AT

Much Activity About the Lobby By People Speak.

MONEY ORDERS DEMAND

According to Postmaster Col grove there is much activity about the postoffice at this time by peo- pie getting postoffice orders for Christmas presents to all parts of the world. The postmaster believes that the amounts forwarded this year are much smaller than on former occasions, but in any event there is unfnistakable increase in the number of men and women, speaking various tongues about the building to warrant the statement that depression has had no appre- ciablc effect on the thought that comes to people at this season.
 It Is time now to get letters in the mail If they are to reach their destination in foreign countries. Some of them have q long way to travel over land and seas, and it goes without saying that they will not be long in postoffices where they are to be delivered before they are called for. A letter from absent relatives Is very welcome, more so at Christmas than any other season, and 1t is no mistake to say that 1t adds a little to the joy 1t brings when in addition to the good wishes expressed it con- tains money order, even for small su m.

Boston, Dec 6-UP)-Obiects of q country wide search in con- nection with the theft of $500,0 900 in government bonds from the con- tenenta1 Bank & Trust Company in New York, two Boston men, described as notorious bank and bond house thieves, were held here today for New York police. The men, who identified themselves as William Downey, 38, and John r. Gallagher, 39, were arrested by Boston detectives yesterday as they boarded an elevated train. Chief Inspector John O'Brien of the New York police wired Boston police that he would send witnesses from the bank to attempt to iden- tify the men.
 A 10-year-old warrant charging Downey with the theft of $795 from the Industrial Trust Company of Westerly, +. l., was found in police files. The theft in the New York bank a week ago was adroitly engineered. While one man en- gagged tho cashier in conversation his accomplice abstracted five $100,000 bonds from a ledge inside the window with a cane with chew ing gum attached to it's end.

Offers Relics
 Of Old Tavern
for Interested Collectors Taken From Marshall Tavern

Probably the most peculiar an- nouncement ever to come from the Connecticut Highway Department was made today when the Right of Way Division made known the fact that 1t had gone into the antique furniture business for the disposal of certain fixtures of the Colonial Period to interested collectors of such relics.
 No, it isn't the result of the de- precision nor is 1t a permanent en- terprise on the part of the Right of Way Division. Tn Tact, It's just another sign of Connecticut's pro- gressiveness in highway construc- ton. Where the College Highway intersects with the Albany Turn pike at Avon, there has stood at the corner of the Junction since the middle of the eighteenth century the once famous Marshall Tavern. Since the old building now blocks the sight line between the two highways. 1t has become a traffic hazard and must be re- moved. In the building, em- ployes of the Right of Way Divis- ion have found many old relics of Colonial days which they be- lieved might be of value to col- lectors and they are now asking anyone interested in securing fix lures of this type to communicate immediately with the division.
 Among the articles are a circu- lar tavern bar, nine fireplaces with a variety of fixtures, an old wide wainscoting and several other pieces of equipment of the Reyoiu- tionary period.
 Records concerning the history of the old inn are few and vague. It is known that when a second survey for the Talcott Mountain Turnpike was made in 1912 the tavern was one of the points to which the survey was tied. Then when the College Highway re-sur- vey was made to form the present four corners one Preserved Mar shall, apparently something of q resourceful gentleman, applied to the general assembly for the right to conduct tavern even before he had secured right to the premises and before either survey had been completed.
 Marshall, 1t appears, had had experience at innkeeping. Records show that in 1795 one Preserved Marshall of Pennington was "nom- mated as a fit and suitable person to keep a house of public enter tainment in said town in the room and stead of Captain Joseph Phillips who is removed from said town" and that he continued as a "taverner" until his decease III 1843.
