ASKS CHANGE IN ZONINC LAWS ON
 COOKE STREET
Charles GreenbIatt Wants His Property Transfer
 red in Business Zone

One of the most interesting and important hearings on the question of having the Waterbury zoning ordinance amended, which has come before the board of aldermen in the past couple of years, will be given a public hearing Monday night. The petition is that of Charles Greenblatt for permission to have his property on upper Cooke street transferred from the Presidential section to the No. l business zone.
 The hearing on the petition will take place before the full board of aldermen and will be public. A year or more ago petition in- volving a similar change for the property was heard by the zoning board of appeals. Despite opposi- ton from residents of the Over- look Cottage Park section, the pe- tition was approved. The residents of the district appealed to the su- perior court and the tribunal re- versed the order of the zoning board.
 This time, though, the hearing will be held before the entire per sonnel of the board of aldermen
 MT Greenblatt, one of the citys leading businessmen, points out in his new petition that he merely de- sires to rage the present wood structure in which one of his stores is housed and build a permanent structure which will be much more benefit to the entire upper Cooke street section, which is an impor- tant part of the Overlook Cottage Park district. In view of the past controversy and the new petition, Monday nigh's hearing is expected to be 0 very interesting one.

Murder h Chicago Is Not Yet Cleared Up

this stand was not taken in the confession.
 Dougherty said he is willing to cast aside the entire confession, confident that the positive evil dence which is in our possession at this time would enable us to go to trial tomorrow and secure a conviction of Dr Wynekoop on the murder charge"
 Ut is the theory of Dougherty that the staying was a result of a plot between Earle and his moth- CT and the motives ascribed by the prosecutor are:
 1. Earle's dissatisfaction with welded life.
 2. Need for money which would be provided through insurance on Rhetas life.
 Embittercd Father
 Indianapolis, Ind, Nov 25.--UP) An emb,ttered father to-day laid the mutilated body of his beautiful 23-year- daughter, Rheta Gard ner Wynekoop, into a grave beside her fathers in Grown Hill ceme- tery.

 Gardner had succeeded in bring ing the body to Indianapolis after a controversy with Dr Alice Lind. say Wynekoop as to where it would be buried.
 Members of the Gardner family said they were relieved to hear that Dr Wynekoop had "confessed.' Gardner's family consists of Rheta's stepmother and brother and a sister.
 Mrs Gardner said: T remember that Rheta said to me one time that she wished she had had a woman like Dr Wynekoop to have guided her when she was a moth. erless girl. believe Rheta loved her mother-in-law."

'CAVEAT EMPTOR'
 WAS OUTLAWED
Responsibility Was Placed on the Seller By a Rul=
 ing in New York

New York, Nov 25.-(UP)-The rule of "caveat emptor"-"Let the buyer beware" was outlawed today by judicial interpretation which placed responsibility on the seller.
 Federal Judge John M. Woolsey invoked the rule of "caveat ven- dor''- Let the seller beware" in a decision on a motion to dismiss charges of using the mails to de- fraud against three indicted off, cers of the Manhattan Electric Supply company and two others.
 The decision outlawed the prac- tice of pool operations to raise the price of securities listed on the stock exchange.
 Richard H. Brown, president of tho supply company, and Charles H. Mccarthy, alleged operator of the pool, were immediately sched- uled for trial Monday by Assistant United States Attorneys Joseph F. ,Finnegan and Jacob J. Rosenblum.
 Charges against Charles Petree, manager of the Reading, Pa, branch of Prince & Whitely; Nor man B. Ross, and Charles Woram, customers man, were dismissed.

GANG MURDER
 YET UNSOLVED

Stafford Springs. Conn, Nov 25- (UP)-Police appeared no nearer d solution of the gang murder of Albert Silvers. New York hoodlum. than they were last week when his nude body. stabbed and beaten. was found on back road near Somers.
 Three men arrested in Provi- dence and returned here for ques- tioning to-day were in the Holland county jail, serving To-day sem tences on vagrancy charges. They are Sidney Hines, Brooklyn negro, and Abe Goldberg of Brooklyn and Franwky Marshall of Manhattan. Police were unable to connect them with the Silvers case.

Henncssey, school teacher boarder in the big brick home of Dr Alice l.. Wynekoop, and Stanley Young personable young friend of Earle Wynekoop, were subjected to in- tense questioning by police to-day at an outlying police station.
 Police sought from these two important material witnesses in the mysterious operating room staying of Rheta Wynekoop, clues that might serve to explain the "con- fession" made yesterday by Dr Wynekoop.
 The confession did not satisfy Captain John F. Stege, who is in vestigating the murder mystery because it declared that after all signs of life had gone from the body of Rheta a rshot was fired into her back. This, said Stege, Is illogical, and he added that blood stained blankets found in the pri. vate operating room of the elderly woman physician convinced them that the shot was fired before the girl died.
 Miss Hennessey ate dinner Tues day evening with Dr Wynekoop a short time after the hour when she said Rheta was slain. Young reportedly was with Earle on his western trip at the time of his wifes death.

 New York, Nov 25-(UP)-Quiet strength in stocks today was &C., companied by steadiness in the American dollar, irregularity in commodities, firmness in bonds and favorable business reports.
 Stocks slowly advanced to net gains of fractions to more than a point: wheat sagged off alrer a low CT opening: cautious operations in silver brought that metal down and affected mining isGues to some ex- tent: cotton was firm and so were sugar and rubber, while hides and coffee ruled steady.
 Three bright spots stood out in the business situation:
 1. Operations of steel mills in the Youngstown, Ohio, district at the beginning of next week will be at 35 per cent of capacity. an 1n- crease of points over last week.
 2. Exports during October reached the largest total for any month since October, 1881; were 21 per cent over September, and 27 per cent over October, 1892.
 8. Prices and purchasing power of farm products increased in the second week of November, the Bu- reau of Agricultural Economies re- ported. Farm price index as of November Is, was Fl per cent of pre-war, against 70 in the previous week and 54 a year ago.
 Canadian stocks were active and strong. Rather heavy dealings in Canadian Pacific was a feature of the rails. The stock rose neraly a point. International Nickel also had Q heavy turnover, rising frac- tionally.
 Wet issues recently under pres sure recovered part of their losses, but others of the group were mixed with U. s. Industrial Alcohol a loser. National Distillers at one time was at 25A up B and Schen- ley 27h up 1ss.
 Utility issues were unperturbed by the order of the New York Pulp lie Service commission directing an emergency reduction of 6 per cent in electric ompany rates. Consol- dated Gas, the company directly affected by the order. touched 38A in the earyl dealings where it was off 4 point. It later came back to the previous close.
 Commonwealth and Southern came out 25,0O0 shares at 9 up ls and later increased it's advance. Gains ranging to more than a point were noted in Standard Gas, Ma tional Power x Light, American Power & Light, North American. and Columbia Gas.
 American Telephone & Tele- graph held a small gain in the com- munication group where Western Union fluctuated around the pre- vious close and International Tele- phone ruled firm.
 Steel shares were featured by a rise of more than point in Ma tional steel. Bethlehem at one time touched 34 5-S up 1-2 while U. S Steel also made a half-point gair to 45 3-S. These issues were aided by the pickup in operations al Youngstown.

Abandonment of open market government bond purchases by the rese ve banks more than a week ago had raised vague .rumors that the reserve board was working at "cross purposes with the admin istration.
 Withdrawal of reserve bond pur- chases after nearly $500. 900, 900 of them had been acquired through the summer months, contributed to a sharp decline in government bonds when this support was with drawn. This had led to reports that the reserve board was delib- erately opposing the administra- tion's program.
 '"There is absolutely no rift be- tween the reserve board and the treasury" Governor Black said to- day.
 s He emphasized that the aban- donment of open market opera tions by the reserve banks had no connection with the monetary pro- gram and that the slight decrease in holdings of governments. by banks during the past week was due solely to operations of re- purchase agreement between the Kansas City reserve bank and an agricultural agency which in no sense represented selling by the reserve board.
 ''Since May f." Governor Black continued, i've have bought $594,- 100000 of governments to put ex- cess funds into the market. Those purchases, together with our prior r,ao n of $S50, 0,0O0.
 These funds were put into the market to stimulate credit and fur nish ample funds for credit ex- pansion and in. an earnest effort to make money go to work.
 "That is about $250,000,0 900 more than the excess reserves were last year, and ample for all credit pur- poses. It appeared that further purchases would furnish excess re- serves to an extent that they could not be employed in business, and certainly were not necessary for any credit demands.
 "In that situation there has been a gradual tapering off of reserve bond purchases for the last five weeks. Such purchases dropped from $35,00O,000 week to $25,- oo0,Ooo to s1s,OOO, 900, to $12,oOO,- 900, to nothing.
 All this tapering off started be- fore there were any changes in any government department, and before there was any announced departure in monetary policy; so thae this tapering off progress could have no connection with any event of the past four weeks"

Bridgewater, Nov 25-Connecti- cut workers have shared generous ly in the upbuilding of an Ameri- can merchant marine, A. E. Mac Kinnon, director of the bureau of shipping information, New York, told members of the Bridgewater Mems club last night.
 Everybody benefits from the building of Q ship" said MT Mac Kinnon, 'the factory worker, the farmer, the manufacturer. There is hardly a city in the country that does not produce something used in ship construction. There is hard ly an individual who has not gained, in some way or another, as q result of the merchant marine program of the past five years"
 MacKinnon took the state of Connecticut as an example of the wide diffusion of shipbuilding or- ders. Hundreds of Connecticut firms have received orders from the building of vessels. he said, citing 27 cities which supply materials to the shipbuilding industry.
 "Forty-three Connecticut firms recently received orders in the con- struction of a single ship" MacKin- non said. That meant for the manufacturer orders toatlling sew eral hundred thousand dollars. Ii

 Eighty per cent of the money spent on ship construction goes into the pockets of labor. This is a larger precentage than is shown by almost any other American indus- try. Only 40 per cent of the money is spent in the yard itself. The rest goes for materials and equipment drawn in from every state in the union."
 The speaker said that AZ fast new ships had been added to the Amer ican merchant marine within the past five years. The cost more than S2O0. 100000, of which $160,OO0.O0 went to labor. The ships were built with the aid of government loans, provided as result of the Jones' White Act of 1928. This.legislation has also kept American ships in operation through the letting of mail contracts over routes deemed essential to the proper develop- ment of foreign trade.

Registration will con- tinue all next week, with present indications showing that the lists will number about 5000 or $500 names.
