number of patients who leave the hospital owing their entire bill or a very generous balance" Work ing under these conditions has made 1t very difficult to meet our current expenses. We are pray ing for the dawn of a new era in "bill collecting"
 The outstanding strain upon the hospital. during 1881, was the epi- demic of Poliomyelitis. We ad- mitted our first patient on August 10th and until we discharged our last patient on November 24th, we had treated 77 active and II sus- pected cases. We reported IA deaths from Polio.
 The very generous gift, to the hospital, of the Drinker respirator, by Dr and Mrs Andrew Jackson, made 1t possible to prolong the life of several very i'll patients. We are deeply grateful for this splendid gift.
 cannot let this opportunity pass without saying a word of apprecia- tion for the very splendid coopera- tion given by the medical and nurs- ing staffs during this anxious period.
 The epidemic, more than any thing else, emphasized the great need of a special isolation unit, owned and operated by the hospi- tai. It could be in use nearly the whole year through as we are very frequently called upon to isolate a patient. This expansion should be given due consideration when the hospital is in position to carry on another building program.
 Our principal Improvements dur ing the past year. were the laying of a Stedman rubber floor on the corridor of the fourth floor, in the first building. This need could not be met the same year the other floors were re-laid. We sincerely hope the floor will give us the serv- ice that it is supposed to give.
 The second expenditure was the installation of Morse Bulger rubbish destructor in the old boiler room which affords splendid facility for burning rubbish and if need be, the garbage. The quick and easy disposal of waste Is a great help to keep the yards in a sanitary condition.
 The out patient department has done splendid work for the "poor of Waterbury during the past year. It has treated 18,187 patients, this represents an increase of 3,144

 Admiral M. M. Taylor, com manding American naval forces in China, radioed he was continuing to augment the patrol on the Yangtze river. He shifted the de- stroyer Smith Thompson from Shanghai to patrol the lower Yang tze. It Is assumed the Smith Thompson later will proceed to Ranking.
 The destroyer Edsall has been moved from Ranking to Wuhu, about 70 miles farther up the river.
 From Manila the department was advised the large auxiliary ship, Goldstar, had arrived from Hong Kong and would stand by to await orders to move back to China to evaculate Americans if necessary.
 Moscow Is Silent
 Moscow, Feb 10-(UP)-The government continued it's mysteri- ous silence to-day on Japan's seizure of trains on the Chinese Eastern Railway in Manchurla, and the occupation of Harbin, and the silence was regarded as an Omin- ous sign.
 The situation was tense. The Japanese activities contin- ued to hold first place in popular interest and in the press.
 Foreign political observers espe- cially pointed out the failure of off, ficial organs to comment on the Japanese spectacular capture of Harbin, Soviet Russia's chief center of influence in North Manchuria and headquarters for the Sino- Soviet controlled Chinese Eastern railway.

He opposed the French thesis that security must precede dis armament. The facts show that without disarmament there can be no security" Grandi said.
 "The task of this conference is to fortify justice, and not to justify force"
 Matsudaira outlined Japan's dis armament policy as acceptance Of the league of nations draft dis armament convention as a basis for negotiations, consideration of geo. graphical position as affecting ma tional security, and willingness to collaborate on workable proposi- tions for reduction of air and land armaments.
 Japan favors reduction of the size and gun caliber of battleships, reduction or total abolition of air craft carriers, regulation but not abolition of submarines and pro- hibition of air bombardment and the uses of poison gases and bac- teria in warfare.
 Matsudalra referred to the "un- fortunate situation" in the Far East and said that as Japans position had been fully communicated to the league, he would not mention it further.

But. the present course of the foreigners in allow ing Japan to land forces in the set tlement and use the same as 8 base of operations against the Chinese smacks of foreign disregard of the neutrality of the settlement, the statement charges in effect. The statement concluded with an appeal to the world to force the foreign troops not to carry out their announced intention of firing upon the Chinese if they invade in flight or pursuit--or endanger the settlement.
 (The Chinese pronouncement tends to throw light upon the weeks events. Shells have been falling in the settlement, close to British and American residences and establishments. These shells are reported to be Chinese-their fire drawn by the Japanese attack.)

|M0RTUARY FIGHT
| GETS NEW START
Wisconsin Avenue Site Near
Gateway Opposed by
16 Groups.

New impetus was given today to the
fight Of Is civic organizations in the
District and Montgomery County, Md,
against the erection of mortuaries On
Wisconsin avenue just inside the prc-
posed new monumental gateway to the
city when it was disclosed at the Dis
trict building that an application on
file in the building inspectors office fer
q permit to erect funeral parlor on
the west side of Wisconsin avenue be-
tween Jenifer street and Belt road in
wolves property already zoned to permit
the erection Of a mortuary.
Zoning Change Opposed.
The civic organizations had centered
their opposition on proposed amend
ment to the zoning regulations which
would permit the erection of a funeral
parlor on the east side of Wisconsin
avenue. The application for the permit
to build one, however, affects property
on the west side Of the street, which
already is properly zoned for mortuaries
and other commercial establishments.
The rezoning of the east side of the
street was sought by Joseph Gawler
Sons. The application for the building
permit on the west side was filed by
Mrs. Louise B. Mazza The name of
the firm intending TO build there was
not disclosed
The Zoning Commission at its meet
ing tomorrow morning at 10 O'Clock will
act on the application for a reZoning
on the east side, and the protesting civic
organizations have marshaled their
forces for vigorous fight against its
adoption.
Objections Already Filed.
Already 16 civic organizations, in ad-
dition to numerous residents OF the
community, have filed objections with
the commission against the proposed
change in Zoning. The principal ground
of opposition is that funeral parlor
would detract from the esthetic ap-
pearance of the proposed monumental
boulevard TO the city on Wisconsin
avenue.
1t was pointed out that the pro-
posed change in coming would permit
the construction of a crematoriurn, al
though the mortlcian requesting the
change, has notified the coming COM
mission that the deed to the property
would carry covenant prohibiting
such an establishment
The commission tomorrow also will
decide ON Is other applications for re-
zoning discussed at a public hearing
February 8, in addition to two amend
ments to the zoning regulations.

RAIL MERGER HEARING
MAY CONCLUDE TODAY
Senate District Committee Is Given
Last of Facts-Paving Be-
tween Tracks Considered.

The Senate District Committee may
finish its hearings on the question OF
street railway merger this afternoon.
William NICK. Clayton Of the Fedora
ton of Citizens Associations, who is
urging Congress to provide definitely
for universal free transfers and for
clause to safeguard continuance OF
reduced fare for school children, Will
present his arguments today.
The committee also will consider to-
day the objection of the District Com
missioners to the provision in the pend
ing merger resolution relating to the
cost of street paving between car tracks
The Commissioners favor the principle
OF merger, but believe the track paving
provision as it stands transfers too much
Of the paving cost from the companies
to the taxpayers. The Commissioners
have no objection to relieving the COM
panies of the payment Of crossing po-
licemens salaries.
If the committee completes taking
testimony today it will begin consider
alton of the various amendments that
have been suggested during the hear
ings.

SPAIN ASKS END
!. Of WAR AVIATION
Geneva Spokesman Outlines
Plan and Joins in Plea to
Outlaw Arms.

BY the Associated Press.
GENEVA. February 12.-Luis zu-
lueta, foreign minister OF Spain, pro-
posed total abolition of military avla-
ton and nternationalization Of civil
aviation to the World Disarmament
Conference today, in an address outlln-
ing Spain's suggestions.
He also joined the spokesmen of the
great powers in urging the outlawing
OF all arms of an aggressive nature.
He asked the conference to amend the
draft convention setting out the pro-
cedure of the conference by inserting
a provision for the limitation of war
materials in stock and for publicity for
war materials acquired.
Limit for New Vessels.
The Spanish government, he said,
recommends limitation Of new war YES
sells to 10000 tons, with 8-inch guns as
the maximum, and the limitation OF
submarines to 1000 tons.
The conference, he said, should adopt
a treaty for the control of lnterna-
tional traffic in arms and treaty for
private and state manufacture OF arms
and munitions.
Foreign Minister Edward Benes OF
Czechoslovakia accepted the proposals
made by M Andre Tardieu OF France
last week and Endorsed the draft con-
vention as the basis of the conference
work.
We must determine not to sepa-
rate finally" he said, until we nave
signed the first convention for llmlta-
tion and reduction of armaments."
Confidence Essential.
The essential condition for success,
he said, lis confidence among our
selves and in international insutu-
tions" CzechoSlovakia, he added, Will
agree to supervision of electives and
armaments and manufacture and trace
in arms on a more comprehensive Scale
than is provided for in the draft con-
vention. His government, he said,
would pledge reductions in the period
of army service in agreement with
other powers, and the Czech delegation
would consider the possibility OF reouc-
ing the army budgetary expense.
P Munich, Danish foreign minister,
proposed that equality of armamentS
between victor and vanquished nations
be reached by gradual disarmament
and budgetary limitation. He advo-
Gated total prohibition of offensive
weapons and opposed the French plan
for an armed international police force
under the League of Nations.

ABUSE OF POWER
|. CHARGED TO JUDGE
J. H. WiIkerson Denounced
for Injunction Methods Be-
fore Senate Committee.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Judge James H. Wilkerson Of Chi
cago was charged today with "an in
tolerable use of the injunctive power"
at hearing before Senate Judiciary
Committee considering his nomination
Tor circuit judge
Donald Richberg, representing the
Railway Labor Executives Association
and the American Federation of Labor
added that the future of labor organi-
cations may depend on whether such
extremists" as Wilkerson are made
judges.
He said Wilkerson. in q series of
cases brought against the Musicians
Union in Chicago in 1923, issued re-
straining orders which appeared to
forbid men who had no contract of
employment from leaving their employ
ment without the consent of their en-
ployers"
He said he and other lawyers took
the risk Of being cited for contempt by
advising the workers they did not need
to comply with the order.
We were forced to take this RESPONSE
bility,' he said, ''or else see an organi-
Zatlon OF workers made helpless by an
outrageous abuse of judicial power"
Calling attention to legislation now
before the Senate to restrict the use Of
nlunctlonS in labor disputes, Richberg
said
TO pass law restraining unfair
judges from abuses of power and then
at the same time to place on the bench
and to promote judges notorious for
their intolerance of such restraints is,
In effect, to enact a law to curb tyranny
and then select tyrant to enforce it"
Friend Declared Favored.
Richberg charged Wilkerson had ap-
pointed his political sponsor" and for
mer law partner. Edward j. Brundage.
as receiver in two different cases, in
one of which, he said, extraordinarily
large fees were allowed TO receivers"
Turning to WilkersOn's conviction Of
AL Capone, Richberg said "hoodlums,
boOtleggers and racketeers' had proved
great menace" to the labor move
ment in Chicago by squeezing into it.
This activity, he said had been pro-
NOTED by "so-called injunction judges. "
THE United States District Cour. a.
Chicago actually attempted to protect
the injection of racketeers into the
labor unions" he added.
Sought to Prevent Injunction.
He told OF appearing before one Of
the district judges, not Wilkerson, to
prevent the Judge from issuing an in
junction to protect a union controlled
by 'one of the most notorious gunmen
in Chicago"
When such judge" Richberg said.
has participated in a very anti-social
effort and then sends a few racketeers
to prison it seems to me he is hardly
entitled to paeans of praise when hun
dreds he had helped to gain power are
still active"
