As the two started forward, the
porter leaped over railing and
fioored the robber with flying
tackle As the robber lay on the floor
with the porter on top of him, he
stuck pistol into the Negroes ribs
and pulled the trigger There was
click but the cartridge did not ex
plode. A second attempt to fire the
pistol also failed and the intruder
beat the porter over the head with

COL CARLETON
AT THE YMCA
Gave Reasons Why U. S.
Should Keep Out of
Entangling Alliances
HITS AT PACIFISTS

Col William A. Carleton, repre-
senting the National Security
league, was the speaker at the Y.
NJ. c. A. forum last night. What
he had to say was not in accord
with what people have been hear
ing from other orators brought
here to enlighten the public on
issues especially on the advisa bility
of the United States becoming a
member of the League of Nations
or the World Court. Mr. Carleton
would stick to the policy of the
founders of this country and keep
out of alliances with nations of the
old world. He is in full accord with
George Washington.
The speaker expressed the belief
that the United States should have
a standing army of 100000 and a
navy built up to the limit. In
other words he would have tho
country in position to defend it.
self whenever and wherever the
occasion required such step. He
showed the folly of the United
States reducing it's ornaments.
while the nations of Europe are
constantly adding to theirs.
Mr. Carleton made it plain that
he does not agree with the paci-
fists. and ridiculed the idea of
thinking that the world could be
ruled by a sheriff.

Big Advance in Art

The success of two year gas
experiment in brass annealing as
carried on by the Chase companies
in this city has been made tho
subject of a statement of nation

authority for the statement, which
reads as follows:
Just as 1t took leadership in the
construction of the unique Rocky
river hydro development and in
the introduction of the mercury
boiler and turbine for electrical
generation. Connecticut has also
demonstrated it's progressivenes
in completing the successful two
year operation of the first contin-
nous large brass coil annealing
furnace fired with manufactured
gas. The furnace installed as an
experimental unit in the Chase
rolling mills plant in Waterbury in
1929 has definitely proved its supe-
riority.
The furnace, huge affair meas
uring thirty feet in length by eight
in width and seven in height, has a
production capacity Of 5000 pounds
of brass per hour. The heating
chamber contains twenty-six gas

The depression, she said, might
affect the number of marriages
and in her opinion this is a fact.
However, she Is unable to account,
