SENATE REPEAL
VOTE ECOMING
BY MARCH 4

Hopes for submission of pro-
hibition repeal to the States this
winter were revived today, despite
the House defeat of outright re-
peal, when Senate Democrats
agreed to vote on the resubmis-
sion issue before March 4.
An International News Service
poll already has disclosed a 7-to-1
Senate majority for submission of
repeal, provided the resolution re-
tains authority in the Federal
Government to protect dry States
against wet States.
= Draft 1t Next Monday
The Senate judiciary Commit
tee will meet next Monday to
draft such resolution.
If the Senate adopts a reSub-
mission resolution, Democratic
lea ders predicted the House
would be given another oppor-
tunity to vote on the issue.
They also were confident the
House would approve repeal sub
mission, provided the resolution
carried some protection to dry
States. The same leaders argued
that the House defeated the Gar
ner plan Monday simply because
1t called for naked repeal.
Ready For Beer Vote
The Senate Democrats likewise
were ready to vote on a beer tax
bill, provided it is initiated in
the House. This decision sounded
a death knell for the half dozen
beer measures proposed in the
Senate.
The Democrats agreed also to
support all appropriation bills,
to secure a vote on Philippine
independence, to enact agricul-
tural, tax, and unemployment re-
lief legislation, economy meas
ures and ratification of the World
Court,

Waterbury Day Will
 Be Here Tomorrow

1 the leanest of the wallets. Every cent of the big dollar will count tomorrow when the motto will be "A dollars worth for every dol
 lar!"
 The Chamber of Commerce, pub
 lie utilities, telephone companies, theaters, restaurants, Waterbury
 Democrat, are all working in con-
 junction with the merchants to
 have MT and Mrs Shopper, King for tomorrow. Clerks will be on their very best behavior to make the public feel at home in the
 various cooperating stores. Cour-
 tesy and attention will be by words.
 Tomorrow should take on the appearance of a carnival--a circus day, when the crowds of shoppers | throng the shopping districts of the city. It will be remembered that last October, when the last | Waterbury day was held, one of | the largest turnouts in the shop | ping history of the city was on | hand. The merchants at that time did not disappoint the people and | from early morning until the stores | closed at night the crowds had Q
 big time in canvassing the cooper | ating stores for the purchases they | needed.
 The same should prevail tomor- row. The merchants have even done better this year that last fall. l There are more bargains of really
 worthwhile merchandise being of | fered. Better plans are laid and
 ideas that worked last fall have ] been improved upon for the con-
 venience and accommodation of
 the shopper.
 When the doors of the stores
 are thrown open tomorrow morn l ing it is expected that the same
 crowds will be gathered at the en- frances waiting to enter and feast
 their eyes upon the bargains after bargains. People were happy to
 be down town and taking part in
 the festival. Arm in arm, women | in twos and threes winded their ways about the streets and in and | out of the stores with arms laden down by many purchases. The only | thing that will be missing tomor-
 row to make it a real circus or
 carnival day will be the band.
 However the music stores with
 radios and victrolas will take care
 of that angle.
 | Stores cooperating in the event
 tomorrow will have large banners
 conspicuously placed on the front
 windows, announcing that they are
 official Waterbury Day stores. Trol-
 ley companies will have free trans
 portation to down down points on
 all lines, up to II o'clock. Parking
 spaces will reduce their rates from 25 to 15 cents. Restaurants will
 have specially reduced menus for
 the accommodation of those who
 do not have to go home at noon time.
 | .Theaters will keep matinee prices in effect until o'clock, and incidentally, there are some very | good bills being played tomorrow.
 Telephone operators have been calling subscribers to inform them
 of the big event tomorrow. Milk
 companies today carried collars ad-
 vertising tomorrow's event on all deliveries.

"No one knows when present conditions will change. Any forecast as to when and how rapidly an upturn in busi- | ness will occur is of no practical value. Rather we believe the New Haven's task is to cut our coat as nearly as possible to the cloth we have available.'
 "In other words, our immediate problem does not concern what gross revenue we have had in the past or what gross revenue we may expect in the future, but rather to make the most net income out of the largest amount of gross rev. enue which we can secure under present conditions.
 Although it is true that the diff fculties experienced by the rail- roads during the past year are att tributable in a large measure to the worldwide economic condi- tions, these difficulties have been severely accentuated by the com petition of unregulated forms of transportation"
 Pelley asserted registration fees for commercial vehicles are so low in some states that owners of pri- vate automobiles and the public in general "are, in effect, subsidizing the commercial vehicle operations. Speaking for a company which owns BOO trucks. Pelley advocated such taxation and licensing of commercial trucks and busses as to pay the cost of wider, heavier highways.
 He spoke in praise of the inter- state commerce commissions re- port Monday. favoring federal reg ulation of trucks and busses in in- terstate commerce.

 It was stipulated in the act of congress that the flour should be distributed under the direction of the National Red Cross. Therefore, William M. Harris, chairman of the local unemployment relief committee, and Mrs Edith M. Ladd of the local Red Cross, wired to Washington, D. G., for carload of the flour. Since the word was received that the local request had been approved the arrival of the flour had been keenly awaited.
 Chairman Harris will supervise the distribution of the flour in con- junction with Mrs Ladd. He stated to-day that when the relief com mittee issues it's next weekly sup plies to the needy the governments flour will be included in the bags of food.

and securities market the re- mainder should easily be re- alized. The appraisal of the stocks, bonds and securities was made as of the market on last December 23, the date the bank suspended business. The market at that time was very low.
 The statutes of the state of Connecticut provide that cer- tain assets shall be segre- gated for the prior protection of savings depositors and if these assets are first applied to savings deposits and if the unpaid remainder of savings deposits share equally with the commercial deposits in the remaining assets, the re- suit would be that savings deposits would be worth 98 per cent on the dollar and commercial deposits worth 90 cents on the dollar, as de- termined by the appraisers values.
 The funds set aside to se- cure savings deposits are ap. praised by the appraisers at approximately S4 per cent of the amount of deposits in the savings department, and the total commercial assets are appraised as being worth 115 per cent of the commercial deposits, but as the shortage in savings shares with the excess in the commercial de- partment as above stated, the corrected computation would indicate 98 per cent values in savings and 90 per cent com mercial accounts. In other words, the 84 per cent values in the savings department is balanced by the 115 per cent value in the commercial de- partment.
 A statement of the appraisers, accompanying the report, says, "In arriving at these values we have considered the present econ omic condition of the country as we'll as the fact that they. are 10 be collected under a receiversnp

, Hines, veterans administrator, the first administration figure sched- luled to appear in opposition to the
 measure, will testify tomorrow. Castle said a group of war vet erans active in American Legion affairs in St Louis and Kansas City
 had pledged him their support. He read their telegrams to bolster his
 claim that the 100000 veterans
 are decidedly divided" on the
 bonus issue.
 Among. those signing the mes-
 sages were Ralph B. Innes, Kan
 sas City; L. V. Freeman, Daniel
 Bartless and Colonel J. W. Skel- ley, St Louis.
 Freeman wired "the American Legion executive committee of St Louis county, through a convention
 of delegates from all posts in the country, has moved that no action
 be taken now on the bonus ques-
 tion.
 Castle charged that "self-ap- pointed leaders of the veterans had promised to lead the men into the lush fields of the. federal treas
 ury" and that veterans had been miSled. Representative Vinson, democrat, Ky, questioned Castle as to the identity and personnel of the "cost
 of peace'' committee he represent ed. The witness said it was com posed of ex-service mems groups in New York, Baltimore. Kansas City, and St Louis, with total
 membership of several hundred. Captain Knowlton Durham, New
 York, said the purpose of the orig inal adjusted compensation certifi- cates was to 'see that the veterans
 obtained the money at an age they were likely to need 1t most, name ly, in 1945."
 Durham is chairman of the New York ''cost of peace" committee. The committee adjourned until

Bonus Measures
 Will Not Pass
(Continued from Page )

With the presidents full backing, administration officials are waging a major part of the attack on the bonus before the house ways and means committee. Veterans admin istrator Frank T Hines was sched- uIed as a. witness to-day. President Dawes of the Reconstruction Cor poration, Chairman Meyer of the Federal Reserve Board and Secre- tary of Treasury Mills will appear later in the week.
 They will combat the argument of bonus advocates that payment of $2 40O,0OO,O00 (B) of new cur rency to the ex-soldiers would be- a sound method of expanding money ed credit and bringing the dollar down to average value.
 President Hoover thinks that con gress might have passed the bonus and sent 1t to him to veto had he not conie out so firmly against it from the time h eaddressed the American Legion convention in De- troit last fall.
 The president is anxious to dispel any conception in the minds of the people that the bonus will become a law. An idea reported to have caused uneasiness in financial and industrial centers.
 The president feels that the law enacted last year permitting veter- ans to borrow up to 50 per cent of the face value of their adjusted service certificates was a liberal grant.
 The administration points out that the certificates were not to be paid for 20 years under the original bonus law. Hence 1t considers un- fair the demand for full payment of these certificates now, years be fore they mature.

and not as assets of going con- tcern, this being an important fac tor in determining their value.
 The statement reads as follows:
 I've the undersigned. apprais- CTS of the Merchants Trust Com pany, herewith submit our report as follows:
 we have examined each indiv- idua1 item as set forth in the in- ventory as filed by the receiver and have placed upon each item its present fair value.
 In arriving at these values we have considered the present econ omic conditions of the country aS well as the fact that they are to be collected under a receivership and not as the assets of a going concern, this being an important factor in determining their. value.
 We have examined financial and credit statements filed by bor- rowers, inspected all offsets, ex- amined all collateral and placed a figure on the value of such coila- teral, both collateral which IS list ed on exchanges and unlisted col lateral. We have examined each DlGCG OI IGdk SStaiS WAASh Ao R~ curity for mortgages, we have con- suited with directors and officers officers and employees of the Citf- zens and Manufacturers National Bank, the receiver. We have ob- tained the opinions of individuals on certain matters and we have drawn our own personal informa- tion and knowledge.
 In determining the value of un- listed collateral we have carefully examined financial and credit state ments of the companies and have made exhaustive inquiry on to the marketability and sale value at the present time of each of these items of collateral.
 Tn cases in which we had some doubt as to the true value of mort gaEes, We have called in real es- tate experts, have gone over the matter with them and have con- sidered their opinions in arriving at our figures.
 The present low values in the stock market, of course, cause large losses on stocks and bonds owned, and on collateral loans. and any improvement in the mar ket will be reflected in the ability of the receiver to realize substan- tially than the appraisal.
 We have filed with the receiver a detailed appraisal of all the items as set forth in the inventory on file.
 Pursuant to the direction of the court, we therefore submit here with our appraisal in the form of schedule.
 Dated at Waterbury, this goth day of April, 1882.
