At the same time she was cutting
those land-loving aristocrats of from
their dream Of Western expansion by
sealing up the newly conquered Ohio
Valley as crown lands. Washington
instructed a man who was scouting for
him in the West to pretend that he was
hunting game instead of land in def
ance Of the Kings proclamation.
As for taxing the colonists, that bur-
den would fall lightly upon the farmer

Something other than a cool calcu-

Washington to risk his life and his

 MT Stollar was the only witness against the youngster and he was inclined to dismiss the incident as a boyish prank. '"The only thing I know about it Is that I left the machine parked on North Elm street, near Water street. When I returned 1t was missing. A few minutes later saw Officer John Donahue driving it along East Mali, street"
 Officer Donohue discovered the truck going up Cherry street and became suspicious of the driver when the latter showed difficulty in shifting the gears. He received a shock to find the youngster at the wheel and two others riding on the running boards.
 His mother, who appeared In court with him, stated that she did not know that her boy could drive a car.
 There's no doubt but what he has had an ambition to drive one for years," remarked Prosecuting Attorney Emil Hummei. but guess after all. madam, you must have kept him in baby carriage '0" %rhaS lmigas De m IL l. = answered the mother. 7sss v ,9sss-@ses1 s-s'.s B
 The boy was placed in the cus- tody of Mrs Irene Piercey. proba- ton officer, for 8 little advice to curb his driving ambitions. He is credited with being the youngest operator arraigned in court Tor taking car without permission.

Penniless Plea

Frank Costa Worth S60,OOO in 1928, Unable to Pay Wife $lO Weekly-Bond Ordered as Court DecreeS $7

Attorney Frank Summa, repre- senting the defendant informed Judge McNin, that MT Costa has kept in contact with Mrs Costa for the past four years and has writ ten to her time and again to tell her not to worry that he would pay her money when he obtained em- ployment.
 That's a long time to tell a wo- man not to worry" interpolated Judge McNiff.
 It was her contention also that she Is i'll and must undergo an op- eration and is living to-day through the kindly offerings of friends. She denied that she was being housed and fed and given spending money by the family with whom she is living.
 Particular emphasis was placed on Costa's attempts to rebuild his financial status. He i9 an expert cement mixer and has worked for years in all parts of the country. His absence from Waterbury at var ious times was nothing strange his counsel argued for if he was not working on jobs he was in search of employment.
 After over three years of unex- plained absence as far as Mrs Cos ta was concerned her husband was finally located in New Britain where he was arrested yesterday and returned to this city in charge of Lieutenant Matthew Balanda She acknowledged incidentally the l receipt of letters from South Amer. 1 ica telling her mot to worry."

Frank Costa, AS, who was worth more than $60,000 in cash and se- curities in 1928, pleaded that he was penniless to-day and unable to obtain employment, although he has travelled to all parts of the Uni ted States and has worked for 50 cents a day as a laborer on South American plantations to obtain q livlihood.
 Following Q lengthy hearing in police court here this morning, Costa, who was accused of avoiding Q court order of $10 a week for the support of his wife for the past gears, was placed under bonds of b300 to pay Mrs Costo $7 a week for one year. Notice of appeal was given and Judge Miles F. McNiff ordered him held then under bonds of $400. The boom times" order of 5$10 was reduced, the court re- marked, in appreciation of present times.
 From the nature of the evidence introduced in the hearing of the charges of non-support to-day, MT and Mrs Costa are hopelessly es- tranged after 26 years of welded life. The former attempted by di- vorce proceedings to loosen the ties that bind, but decision was return ed in favor of Mrs Costa.
 According to Attorney George Crocicchia, who represented Mrs
 Costa, the accused did not go tt
 South America, but forwarded let ters to brother in that country who in turn mailed directed letter! back to Mrs Costa. Counsel for tho
 plaintiff accused Costa of openl, holding the court in contempt ant
 deliberately planning to avoid thu
 payment of the order of $10. "Ther' were no hard times in 1928 and MI
 Costa's lawyers admit that he wa
 worth over $60.000 at the time. bu
 his record of payments will show that he showed a disinclination tt contribute to his wife's support"

BEER BILL IS LIKELY
 TO BE SHELVED
Senator COuzens, Republi. can, Has Offered New Bill in Place of Hoover Measure and Bingham's Beer Bill Was Rider to Hoover Proposal
BY LYLE c. WILSON United Press Stan COrrcspondent)

 Washington, July 7-(U. P.) = The Bingham Beer Bill" appar- ently killed yesterday by a par llamentary move, Is destined to live until late to-day when the opposl- ton plans to consign 1t to the sen- ate judiciary committee, there to gather dust.
 The parliamentary move was made by Senator Couzens, republi- can who presented an amendment to the Hoover Loan bill. The Bing- ham beer bill was a rider to the Hoover bill and if Couzens is suc- cessful the Hoover bill and Bing- ham beer rider would fall by the wayside. ment to the committee is q vote against immediate beer" Bingham said to-day, and he promised to make that issue plain just before the voting.
 He thinks 1t would be good poli- tics in the northeast for the repub- lican ticket there to have republi- cans in congress vote for the beer measure. Adoption of such a meas ure by congress, on the other hand would remove the beer question as an issue In the November elections. and the democrats are reported de- pending upon their beer plank for many city votes.
 Chances of legalizing beer at this session of congress are slight. A variety of arguments are advanced aginst the Bingham rider to the loan bill. Senator Watson, republi- can, Indiana, suggested that home brew and home loans won't mix" Others complained they were re- luctant to vote on such an import ant issue in rider form.
 About 50 republicans vets of the house have joined In an effort to obtain a repeal vote at this session. But they are at the mercy of the democratic organization headed by Speaker Garner. There is no indi- cation he will consent to their re- quest for a vote.

SABOTAGE

Evidence of racketeering in the

and vicinity has been unearthed
at the Morningside Laundry of
Silver Springs, Md.
Bundles of clean clothing,
ready to be returned to the
customers, have been mys-
teriously mixedA Tags on the

said:
I'VE found the guilty parties
in time and those suspected
have been dismissed. Who was
responsible for their work is
another matter. We are, how
ever, on their trail"
Mr.. Wood says the laundry did
not suffer especially from the
sabotage but the trouble might
have been serious if it had not
been discovered in time.
He emphatically declares he
does not suspect any other laun-
dry of being responsible for the
Vandals. He says:

Make En- Spend
Confidence is the thing that increases the rate of turn
over but is confidence in things in general not conf

average spends his dollars freely or pays his bills
promptly if he confident that his income is not going
to be curtailed cut off, If he is uncertain he will
cling to the money and money be boarded in bank
account as we'll as boarded in safe deposit box" But
remark this eff the business believes that todays
dollar will be worth more. tomorrow, he will not be
anxious to spend If he believes the dollar will be less
valuable in the future the incentive is present to ex-
change it for materials which will be worth more"

it is that if want people to spend it freely,
