NATIONWIDE ACTION
IS HELD NECESSARY
IN BANKING CRISIS
Financiers Seek to Provide
Means For Transacting

New York, March 7.-(R-Concert-
ed efforts to tranfuse enough life into
the nations money arteries to finance
ordinary Observation-Disclosures business
were fastened in the second day Of
Americas uaomentous banking holiday
Tuesday.
A nation which had developed q
highly-organized and efficient system
|of settling 80 per cent Of its business
with bank checks, found that once
disrupted, the highly complex proce-
dure was not easily restored.
Most Of the leading corporations in
the country do business in almost
every state. Therefore. q form Of
emergency scrip used In Kansas City,
must be 50 drawn as to be redeemable
by q furniture manufacturer in
Grand Rapids, unless the manufac-
turer Is prepared to extend almost UNI
limited credit to distributors In Kan
sas City and other points.
Therefore, the banking problem is
being dealt with nationally, insofar
as possible. Individual cities and
states are working on separate
schemes, while Washington authori-
ties are trying to piece them together.
Governor Lehman has worked out
statewide pan for New York state,
while the New York clearing house
has developed New York City plan,
which may piece In with the state
plan. At the same time, Governor
Lehman explained that his state plan
might be absorbed by q national plan.
Seek to Avoid Discounts
What banking authorities are par
ticularly anxious to avoid Is q sort Of
foreign exchange market in the funds
|of various cities, commanding various
degrees Of premiums or discounts,
which would make business costly and
uncertain.
But while Americans concentrated
upon the emergency measures to fl
nance more readily the ordinary day.
to-day business Of the land, the finan-
cial world at large watched develop
ments intently, concerned less with
the emergency measures, but in the
hope Of finding clues to the policies
to be pursued when the emergency Is
past.
For the suspension Of dollar trading
has removed from the international
markets one Of its most important
guide posts. While the pound ster.
ling long held the distinction Of being
the international standard Of value.
the British suspension Of gold pay
ments In September Of 1891 robbed 1t
Of Its stability and the gold dollar be.
came one Of the chief measuring
sticks in foreign exchange dealings.
While American banking authorities
mostly insist that our holiday on gold
payments has not removed the United
States from the gold standard, Wall
Street international Banking quarters
find that many Europeans are finding
sc difficult to interpret the action
here and are ir,sistently asking what
we proposed to do about gold pay
ments after the holiday expires.
The American holiday on gold pay
ments, it was apparent In European
foreign exchange dealings Monday,
has aroused uncertainty over the
French franc, the other leading gold
currency. for the switching Of funds
from French francs into pounds ster-
ling developed in large volume, al
though the pound is already off gold.

AMBASSADORS AT
 PARK BALLROOM
ROmanO's Orchestra to
 Furnish Armistice . Night Music

Frank Romano and his 12 Royal Ambassadors, Waterbury's latest dance orchestra sensations, have been selected to play for the big Armistice night dance at Hamilton Park tonight and from all accounts the Park will be the mecca of a record Saturday night gathering of music and dance lovers.
 Park patrons were so loud in their praises of the Romano band following its first two appearances at the beautiful east end ballroom that the management was prompt ed to present them for the big holiday affair tonight. Twelve men comprise the band and each and every one can toot a sax, blow a trumpet, or play his respective in- strument with the dexterity of big timers.
 Speaking of libraries, the music library of the Romano orchestra is the most up-to-date of any band in the city. Whether it's a tune from the movies, hit from the stage, or 8 smash success from radio, you vii lhear it on the Am i bassadors program. Several weeks ago, MT Romano introduced the Big Bad Wolf' number for the first time in any local ballroom. Tonight he will feature the new Cotton Club Revue hit, "'Twas On a Steamer Coming Over" Listen for it. For the football fan, the Ambassadors pianist has arranged a stirring medley of college tunes that will be sure to score.
 Join the merry throng of holi- day pleasure seekers at the Park tonight. Dancing starts at S:3O Sharn

Palace Back In Fold
 Of Sylvester z. Poli
City to Greet COlorfm Theatrical Luminary To-day
 His Return Revives Memories

Waterbury today prepared to welcome once more into its enter tainment fold, Sylvester z. Poli, and to see once more the famous sign "Poli Palace" heralded in bright lights across the famous theater on East Main street. For today, it is believed, the necessary legal steps will have been taken to bring the popular EastNMain street house back into the managerial reins of the Poli interests.
 Waterbury has played an inn portant part in Mir Polls rise to managerial fame, from his first leasing of a theater here, in 1897, to his building and opening, on Jan. 2S, 1922, of the costly and capacious Polls Palace. A review of the various steps leading MT Poli from humble beginnings to a position of unusual prominence and success reads almost like a romance and has all the color of a romantic novel. He was born in Lucca, Italy, Dec. 31, 1859, and at the age of 13 left home and went to Paris where, as an apprentice to sculptor, he learned modelling in clay and wax. Becoming an ex- pert in this art he served in the Museum Cravan and in September, 1881, came to America and joined the staff of the famous Eden Musee. Here he had charge of modelling wax figures depicting historical and current news events. Here, also, he met and married Miss Rose Leverone and found in her through all the rest of his life a ready helper in his enterprises.
 From New York MT Poli went to Philadelphia and worked there for the Egyptian Museum and Carn- cross & Dixey. When the famous Haymarket riots of Chicago oc- cured the ambitious young mod eler obtained permission to model the seven anarchists involved in the riots who were sentenced to death, and with these figures and others he established a travelling show of his own. He soon formed a partnership with a snowman named Robinson and they opened a theater and museum in Toronto and operated summer entertain ment places at Rochester, N. r., and Staten Island.
 MT Polls next move was to take over, in Troy, N. Y., an abandoned church, establishing there a com- bination theater and museum which he ran for over a year. Fire destroyed the building and MT Poli transferred the scene of his show manship erdeavors to New Haven. Here he opened museum in the old Hoa dlexy h11i1dinp at Church and Crown streets, presenting in nine performances daily such acts as fireeaters, sword-swallowers and bar bending strong men. This took place on the upper floor, while in the basement was an attraction popular in those days, known as the "chamber of horrors"
 After a successful year in the Hoadley building the snowman leased from Healy & Bigelow, the Kickapoo Indian Sagwa medicine men, Music hall on Church street,

Monzani and members of police department to obtain additional witnesses to yes- ,terday afternoons trolley-auto col- lision on South Main street in which two men met their deaths and two others so badly injured ? that their recovery is still a matter of doubt.
 John Robello, 38, of 8 Pond street, Naugatuck, was instantly killed and Antonio Francesca, 40, of the same address so badly crushed that he died within an hour after being admitted to St Mary's hospital. Mario Tavares, 26, of 8 Pond street and Manuel Foares, 25, of High street. Nauga,- tuck, suffered fractured skulls and are presently on the danger list.

Accord ing to Motorman Levy, whose car was due in Exchange place at 2:45 o'clock. he had slowed down to permit a truck to pass at the point where the trolley tracks swing from the west side of the road tc the center of highway.

War On Economy Act
 Urged By Veterans
Repeal One of " F. w. Obectives in Current Program
 Caused Many Fardships

Armistice Day, the 18th anniver- sary of hte ending of the World war, is the signal for the beginning of a new "war." according to Com mapder Vincent P. Mahoney, Wheeler post No. 201, Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States.
 The "war' will be directed against the Economy act, passed by congress on March 20, 1883, and against the anti-veteran groups, which obtained it's adoption, Com mander Mahoney said today.
 Repeal of the so-called econ- omy act is one of the most import ant objectives of the V. F. w. 1885, 34 program" said the commander. "This act has caused untold hard ship to thousands of overseas vet erans. It has resulted virtually in the cutting off of pensions and compensation payments, which were all, in many cases, that stood between these disabled veterans and out-and-out charity. The econ omy act has not balanced the federal budget. It has not accom- plished any of the benefits its pro- motors promised tit would accom- plish but it did destroy, in one moment, carefully thought out veteran legislation which had been passed by congress after years of study and investigation.
 As a means of achieving the re- peal of the economy act, the V. F. w. plans a unified, countrywide campaign for membership, design ed to increase its numbers in such proportions that the bloc of votes represented will be impressive and powerful, declared Commander Mahoney.
 The drive, to be known as the Veterans Defense Rally, will be di- rected by National Chief of Staff A. D. Vandervoort of Lansing Mich. Under his supervision, each state department will be assigned q quota of increased membership tc be achieved between Nov. II and June 30 of next year. Each depart

The front windows were shattered and the seven passengers aboard not only shaken up, but badly startled. The automobile was reduced to mass of wreckage.

New Haven, on the site later known as the Bijou theater. He remodeled and renamed the place, calling it Polls Wonderland, and almost immediately it became a widely-known center of entertain ment. The Iowa giantess c feet, inches) walked up and down the aisles, holding aloft dollar bill and challenging any man or wo- man in the audience to reach it.. The Indiana giant, the Siamese twins, Barnum's Zip and the Dog faced man were other exhibits. It is a matter of record, also, that the first motion pictures shown in New Haven, and almost the first in America, were brought to his Won derland by MT Poli. This was the French cinematograph and so suc- cessful was the three weeks show ing that other moving picture con- tracts were entered into at once.
 Waterbury supplied the second link in the Poli theater chain, MT Poli leasing 8 theater here in 1897. Others were added in rapid order until finally he was operating 23 theaters, with something like B. 900 employees, not including the actors. His payroll was $1,0O0 a week in the old Polls Wonderland days and it had advanced to $30O,- 000a week when he sold the theater chain in 1927 to the Fox interests.
 MT Poli holds the title of Cheva- Her, bestowed by the Italian gov ernment some years ago. He holds membership in the Elks, the Union League club of New Haven, Knights of Colum bus, New Haven Chamber of Commerce, Automo- bile club, and the Bald Head Club of America.

railroad to decide on the way in which to share the cost. Under the state law the railroad must aid in the upkeep of bridges crossing the company's rails.
 The failure of the work to be completed on the bridge caused the South Main street to Baldwin street route to be cut in two. Hun dreds of motorists taking "short cuts" so as to avoid heavy traffic in the central part of the city have been forced to turn back when reaching the bridge. This caused considerable inconvenience and los of time@
 After the coming hearing it is expected that the work of repair ing the bridge will be pushed ahead quickly. The city is ready at any time to proceed but is merely awaiting the decision on the ques- ton of coSt-Sharing.
