attempt to redeem property on
East Main street, formerly owned
by Teresa D'Ambrosi, against
whom a $4,000 foreclosure judg-
ment had been entered in the COM
mon pleas court. The Merchants
Trust Company held a second mort
gage on the property amounting
to about $1,000. The Waterbury
National Bank secured a foreclos-
Eure OF its first mortgage and the
Merchants Trust Company was
given an opportunity to redeem the
property in order to save its
$1,000. TO redeem would mean
the receiver would have to pay
over $4,000, which the court did
not believe advisable.
The receiver was ordered to
make the necessary bookkeeping
records to affect the change from
the savings department side of the
item representing the purchase of
the Leavenworth street property.
In the exchange the receiver was
ordered to take the notes of the
City of Waterbury from the COM
mercial side and place them in the
savings side.

The Charles Island Retreatants
Band met last night at the Colon
made on State street and heard en-
lightning addresses on the good
work being done all over the coun-
try. by laymen in bringing large
numbers together with a view to
keeping them In mind of the flu
ture state and realizing in the full
est measure their duty to their
fellowmen of all creeds and races,
the only plan of life on which a
nation can prosper. The principal
Speakers were Judge Edward p.
O'Meara of New Haven, president
of the Laymen's Retreatant Band of
the state, a man who has devoted
much time to the movement, Rev
James j. Tyler, assistant pastor at
st AIMS parish of this city;
Patrick Walsh, retreatant director
at Charles Island; Rev John Logan.
OPP. of New Haven, who repre-
scented Very Rev Edmund Baxter.
O.P., of New Haven, head of the
Charles Island Retreatant Band,
who was absent on account of sick
ness.
After partaking of the good
things set on the tables, William
Nolan, president of the local or
ganization expressed much pleas
ure at the large attendance, well
coined the visitors and introduced
Attorney Vincent Miller, as master
of ceremonies, a position which Mr.
Miller filled in a very satisfactory
manner.
Judge O'Meara reviewed the
work of the Retreatant Band in
New Haven, explained how it came
into existence, described how well
Charles Island is located for the
purpose to which it is now devoted.
He said three days spent on the
island is more than a religious re-
treat, adding that it also is a pleas
ant. vacation from the exacting
duties of the year and gave a glow
ring description of the parcel of
land, two miles from the shore, but
so far as seclusion is concerned it
might as well be in mid-ocean.
Patrick Walsh, who meets Wis
itors to the island and makes them
feel at home while there. said that
the first number that came from
Waterbury was small, but it is in
creasing so that last year the num-

there would be at least fifty this
summer. which is about the capac-
ity of the island, but in an emer-
gency they can manage to accom-
modate fifty persons. He paid a
high tribute to John F. White and
those who had accompanied him
on the retreat from Waterbury.
Rev James Tyler delighted the
audience in an address in which he
reviewed the great labors of those
engaged in retreatant work here
and in other places, pointed out
how much man owes to his neigh
Dor and the good that can be ac-
complished for society by willing
cooperation on the part of honest
sincere laymen.
Rev John Logan said he was
born in New Haven, and as a boy
he often looked across the water at
Charles Island, never dreaming
that some day he would come back
there. as a priest when Charles
Island would have ceased to be the
scene of questionable amusements
and be dedicated to the service OF
God. Father Logan dwelt at some
length on what Father Baxter has

VETERAN OF THE
/ WORLD WAR HITS
BONUS DEMAND
Richard O'Neill, Congress
siOnal Medal Hero,
Gives Some New Rea-
sons and Explanations

Washington, April 29-(UP)-
The $2.ooo.ooo,oQo Patman bonus
bill was attacked before the House
Ways and Means committee to-day
as "class legislation" discrimin-
atory to the rank and file Of the
unemployed.
Richard O'Neill, who at 20 re-
ceived the Congressional Medal Of
Honor for heroism in the World
war, made the assertion.
There are thousands of veter-
ans like myself who do not need
such aid" O'Neill said, ION the
other hand there are thousands OF
unemployed not veterans who de-
serve such add
O'Neill, however, said he dis
agreed with other opponents Of the
bill that cash payment would
ruin the currency Of the coun-
try"
The bill provides for issuance Of
50, 000.000.000 In new currency.
The witness, New Yorker. said
he was not representing any or.
ganization, "only myself"
More than $1,6O0.000.000 under
the bonus bill would 60 to veter-
ans not in dire needs this fair p
asked O'Neil1. He cited figures
which he said showed only one out
Of five veterans was unemployed.
Some legislation should be en-
acted to aid these unemployed vet
Grams, however," asserted the wit
ness.
Professor Irving Fisher, the
Yale university economist, told the
committee the bill would "pay
what is not due to the veterans
and might further impair con-
fidence."
Touching on the currency as
poets Of the measure, he said the
country is suffering from defla-
ton, but Justified imitation can
best be secured by controlled
credit expansion"
In his statement Fisher said the
Patman bill would increase "pock-
ct money" while what is needed
''is an increase in bank deposits
subject to checks
What we need is to bring de-
posts back by restoring confidence
in banks and confidence of banks
he said. This can be done by
controlled credit expansion such as
federal reserve banks are now
bringing about. I agree that such
expansion is capable of bringing III
out of the depression even faster
than the corresponding deflation
has brought England out during
the last six months and enabled
her to balance her budget as well
as to start business going"
