Prosperity Not
Too Enjoyable

BRIDGEPORT, Conn, Dec. l..
W.P)-The $25 check which Marie
Dressler, film star, sent to her old
seamstress, Miss Mary Fuller, 81,
brought the recipient more trouble
than help in her fight against
poverty.
Someone informed Miss Dressler
at Hollywood that Miss Fuller was
in dire need here but refused to
accept charitable assistance. Short
ly afterward Miss Fuller told a
friend she had received a check
from Miss Dressler. Rumors spread
the check was for $1,000.
Since then the bewildered old
lady has had to fend off con-
stant stream of panhandlers, sales
men and curiosity seekers.
Almost ignored few weeks ago,
her shabby tenement is now be-
sieged by persons seeking to share
her prosperity"

 Today police were informed the brothers had sought refuge in the cottage. They massed on the place. After rushing the house, firing into the windows and the doors, the officers opened 8 bar rage of tear gas bombs.
 Acrid fumes filled the house.
 Suddenly from within the house were heard three shots following which came the shout:
 Come and get us--we're dead"
 When officers entered they found Jennings dead. Harry Young had been shot through the chest and was taken to Q hospital.
 Detectives began at once to question him regarding the identi- fication of his companions in the Springfield massacre, in which Sheriff Marcel Hendrix and five other officers were moved down by concentrated machine gun and shotgun fire.

why he should be permitted to cover Judge Prewitts court.
 To make 6 test case, the News Sentinel Monday asked that Jack Bryan be permitted to report the court proceedings. Judge Prewitt denied the request.
 Moutoux appeared Monday night ''to show cause," but his counsel, W. Fl. Townsend of Lexington, sug- gested to the court that in view of his ruling on the Bryan petition, the Moutoux hearing was unneces- sary.
 q want to hear what Mir Snyder has to say about this man, the court replied. Il may want to find him in contempt of court yet"
 Snyder was called as the only witness of the commonwealth against Moutoux.
 Snyder represented Moutoux as declaring on several occasions that he did not think the Harlan de- fendants were receiving fair trial. The prosecution counsel told of an incident when q fellow prosecution attorney was told by Judge Prew- 1t not to "Mr" negro witness in his court.
 MT Montoux told me he didn't sec what show a man had under those circumstances, that he want- cd to see the defendant get fair trial, and that he wasn't getting it." Snyder said.
 Moutoux denied saying Judge Prewitt was unfair, but contended he had said and had written that In his judgment Judge Prewitt was the fairest judge he ever saw on a labor case. He never criticised the court, he said, but he did cri- ticise the prosecutlons final argu- ment in one of the cases as "un- fair."
 Phillip Kinsley, staff correspon- don't of the Chicago Tribune who , covered the Jones trial with Mon- toux, testified Montoux several times had commented upon the court's fairness. He cited in- stances.
 "personally am very much in favor of q free press and freedom of speech" the court said In final ly ruling on the case, but think such editorials are unfair to this court and other Kentucky courts 4 have no feeling in the matter, aAd as far as know, this man Is all right. But so long as he works for this paper, he cannot report In this court until 1t retracts its libcl- ous, slanderous, false statements"
 The court asked counsel for Moutoux # they represented the News Sentinel.
 If you do, I want you to pro- duce that editor here next Monday morning. There would be Q differ ent ruling in this case"
 Attorney Townsend said he rep- resented oniy'Moutoux.
 Moutoux, therefore. was not hold in contempt of court, but was barred along with all other News Sentinel reporters.

renomination of a president since the Taft days In 1912. The dis inclination of practically all in- fiuential leaders to take any action has made thus far this talk of little effect.
 The most open declaration has just come from Mrs Ruth Hanna Mccormick, former republican congresswoman from Illinois, who in an editorial in her Rockford, H., Register Republic, said MT Hoover is not 8 popular leader and urged the republicans to select a candidate with a fair chance of winning. Much Dawes talk Is said to be circulating in Illinois. His close friends, however, doubt if he would permit the use of his name so long as he is connected with the admin istration.
 It is said that the faction headed by Former Mayor William Hale Thompson has been interested In persuading Senator Johnson to en- ter the Illinois primaries. Johnson told the United Press no proposals had been made to him and that he was not concerned with politics at this time.
 In addition to these. there are several outright insurgents such as Governor Pinchot of Pennsylvania and Senator George w. Norris of Nebraska who may be entered In several state primaries.

Critics of Hoover
 Hit at Delay
(Continued from Page 1.)

Mir Hoover in Q special message yesterday called for speedy non- partisan action, and 1t appears he may get a measure Of what he asked.
 An exception Is the tariff bill, in- troduced yesterday In the house. This constitutes tho democratic answer to the republic tariff stand, regardless of whether or not the bill is vetoed.
 The bill, to be taken up to-day by tho ways and means committee. probably will be reported with all speed, as there appear to be few witnesses either for or against. It provides:
 1. Authorization of "perman- ent international conference to be called by the president for the purpose of negotiating reciprocal tariff reductions;
 9. Transfer from the president to congress of the power to alter tariff rates on recommendation or the tariff commissions;
 3. Authority for the tariff com- mission to recommend changing commodities from the free to the dutiable list and vice versa; t..
 1. A peoples counsel, as a conversational agent, to represent the consumer at tariff commission hearings;
 5. Restriction of tariff changes to those recommened by the tariff commission, eliminating periodic tariff shake-ups.
 6. An express ban on discus sion of debt cancellation or re- duction at the proposed interna- tional tariff conference.
 House passage of the bill appears certain, and it would seem to have an excellent chance in the senate,
The Waterbury Democrat., 1932-01-05

where anti-administratio forces are in the saddle. Both democrats and insurgent republicans favor the tariff commission reform. and the international conference is the only new idea.
 After the tariff the house is to take up the reconstruction finance corporation bill. Taxes will fol- low, with the ways and means committee beginning hearings on Thursday. To-day the house ex- poets to pass the first definiency appropriation bill, calling for $125,8S6,262.
 On Capitol Hill today there were rumors circulated that Mir Hoover might relax his opposition to fed eral unemployment relief. It was suggested that if he signed the Capper bill giving 35,000,000 bushel of farm board wheat to the hungry he might also agree to other forms of federal aid.
 The Capper bill is in house com mittee to-day after having passed the senate yesterday. It is looked upon by many persons as g. trial horse"

 letter addressed to Mrs Lenhard of Waterbury. The authorities re- fused to divulge the contents of the letter, which might possibly supply q definite and conclusive answer to the query as to whether Miss Burkle fell or jumped to her death.
 Miss Burkle had been stationed in Philadelphia for the past two years. She was associated as & director of modern German Graph ic Arts exhibit at the Carl Schurz Memorial Foundation, Inc, whose offices are located in the Lewis Tower building. She was seen alive about o'clock working at her desk. Two hours previous she had declined an invitation of an associate to attend Q theater, stat ing that she had planned to visit friends in Germantown. Miss Bur kle was scheduled to lecture in Washington, D. c, to-day and was to visit Swarthmore college.

 The deceased, who was well known in Boston, Baltimore, Phil adelphia and Washington as an authority on German history and arts, was a graduate of the Beg nal grammar school, the Crosby high school and Smith college, She had travelled extensively and had studied and lectured for sever- al years past. She won many hon. ors for her accomplishments and held decorations from the Ger man government for, her interest and success in promoting friendly feelings between Germany and the United states. Only recently she received an autographed photo graph of the former German ruler In her latest letter to Mrs Lenhard she made mention of the message from the ex-kaiser and forwarded the photograph. Local relatives to-day denied very emphatically that she had reason to feel Respondent over conditions here or the welfare of her relatives.
