Only about rs Of the institutions
reported fewer graduates. In everv
other instance the figure was about
the same as last year, or showed
q slight Increase. Graduatlons ex-
ceeded those of 1881 which were
the most numerous to that date.
Some educators suggested in
creased graduations were the result
of larger enrolment four years ago
at the height Of the prosperity
period. This was the view Of Chan

President Thomas ID. Baker Of

factor In the increase In graduates
might be unemployment. forcing
students to return to school who
might otherwise be employed.
Some who dropped out Of college
no doubt have returned on this
account"

He was taken to the cell block In

Russo appeared calm when he
was brought before Judge Jen-
nings. Through his counsel. Attor-
ney James NJ. Lynch, Russo
waived the reading of the informa-
ton charging him with embezzle-
ment and pleaded guilty.
States Attorney Lewis explained
to the court that there were num-
erous counts of embezzlement and
one count of taking money under
false pretenses against Russo but
that the state was only prosecuting
on three counts of mbezzlement.
He recalled the history of tho
case, pointing out that the accused
had fed the country after his
place of business on Bank street
Bhad been closed. He explained
Russo had been extradited from
England, and was being arraigned
on u bench warrant issued In Janu-
airy. He said Russo had no record
and had been in Waterbury a long
time where he and his father be-
fore him conducted a money for

embezzlement but that only three

Lewis said there was $4,000 de-

charged Russo with having used
the money for speculation pur.

said if the state decided to try
Russo II would cost considerably
to bring necessary witnesses from,
Italy, to prove all the allegations.
He recommended the other counts
be nolled and that sentence be two
to five years on each Of the three
counts.

unaccountable reason the accused
