As an added attraction the two hest parochlal school teams in Tor rington and Waterbury have Teen hooked to play, meaning the St Francis boys from the New City and the undefeated St Joseph lads of this city, winners of nine in a row fhis season. The contest VIII start at 7:15 p. m., followed by the Torrington- Crosby reserve game at 7:45 D. m. and the varsity contest an hour later.
 Hit Their Stride
 Both Torrington and Crosby have had plenty of team trouble tnis season but right now the boys are going "on high" and will possibly present one of the best contests im- aginable. Crosby showed in It's easy win over Wilby clicking team that Torrington will find plenty hard. to outpoint, particularly at the Wilby gym, the homo court Of the Blue and White. Crosby has beaten Torrington on the latters court by the narrowest of margins, a hoop by Wilmot turning defeat into a one point victory in the last five seconds of play. Which should indicate the comparative strength of the teams.
 Able Defense
 Successful application of the zone defense will probably be the objective of the Crosby team, which has gotten that type of play down to a smooth-working plan that has proved effective against high class opposition. Torrington, with Long, hi, Hoystradt and York has been proving plenty tough for major op- ponents within the past four weeks and should Crosby be 8 bit "soft" they are quite able to take a lead and hold it,

NEW YORK, Dec. Is Q.N.SO'
Revolutionary headquarters were
secured by police today for two
of four aSsass1ns who stabbed
Archbishop Leon Tourian to death
as he walked down the aisle Of
Holy Cross Church to celebrate
Christmas mass.
Two men already are in GUS

archbishop was stabbed three
times with an eight-inch butcher
knife. Police grilled the men
throughout the night in an effort
to elicit some information con-
cerning their companions and also
the motive behind the assassina-
ton.
Meanwhile, parishioners Of the
Georgian (Arlnenian) Church, Of
which Archbishop Tourian was
primate, planned elaborate fu-
neral services with fullest rituals
of the church.
AS Boys Chant
Archbishop Tourian was in the
center of long procession march

The choir boys were chanting a
hymn reserved only for high
ecclesiasticals when the four men
suddenly leaped from their pew
and plunged the knife into him.
The patriarch was making one
of his periodical visits to the
church and there were many

city in the congregation. account

entered the church unnoticed by
regular members.
Police announced they believed

Immediately after the arrest OF
the two prisoners, who had been
severely beaten by members of the
congregation, police raided two
revolutionary headquarters here

other raids today.

SILVER GROUP
To WATCH
RESULTS
Wheeler and Followers Seen
Ready to Push More Radi.
cal Demands Later
BY International News Service

Leaders of the silver groups
in Congress today awaited actual
operation of President Roosevelt's
limited bimetalism plan before
deciding upon a legislative course
for the impending session.
Coinage Of newly-mined silver
was scheduled to start at the
mints tomorrow. with producers
receiving approximately 64.5
cents an ounce for their metal
and the Government retaining
one-half as "seignorage."
Wheeler Not Satisfied
The Presidents order author
izing Government coinage of half
the domestic silver output at the
64.5 cent price delighted the
congressional group led by Sen
ator Key Pittman (Dem0, of
| ~Nevada.- -
It failed to satisfy the unlim-
tied group led by Senator
Wheeler D.) of Motana, although
receiving their Endorsement as an
important first step" toward bi-
metalism at a fixed ratio.
Critical study of the order
strengthened the belief, however,
that silver's status has been ire
mendously improved.
It was pointed out that, with no
change in the established Govern
ment valuation of $1.29 an ounce
for newly mined domestic silver,
the price paid to producers could
be increased from time to time by
Presidential decree. The Treasury
merely would take less toll and
pay the producers larger share,
in minted dollars.
Thomas Hints Hopes
Wheeler and Senator Thomas
(D) of Oklahoma declared that
agitation for a bimetalic currency
base would be intensified rather
than snuffed out by the Presi-
dents action.
Thomas predicted the President
would take further steps to in
crease the use of silver as money.
The generally favorable recep-
en- accorded to the Presidents
plan by business and financial in
terests was cited by Thomas as
proof that even the Sound
money" advocates prefer bimetal-
ism to other forms of initiation.
