NORWICH MAN DOOMED TO SUCCEED T0NE'
WIDOW OF JACK LEGS DIAMOND
 IS WIPED OUT
"Her Tongue Wagged Too Much," Said Detec. lives, So Two Gangsters Did the Trick

New York, July = (UP) - Mrs Alice Kenny Diamond, widow of the notorious gangster, Jack (Legs) Diamond, was rubbed out by two of her late husbands cronies because her tongue had been wagging too freely in the Brooklyn speakeasies, detectives believed today. Either Mrs Dia- mond was displaying her knowl- edge of Legs intimate business dealings to too large an audience, or was plotting the assassination of the torpedomen who filled Legs with lead in Albany two years ago.
 Mrs Diamonds body, a bullet hole through the head, was found in her Brooklyn apartment yester- day. She had been dead two days and her two dogs, locked in the apartment, were weak with hum ger. On the kitchen table were three half consumed cups of cof- fee. On her dressing table was a tinted photograph of Legs in a silver frame.

STATE GAS PIPE
 LINES EXTENSIVE
'2,60O Niles Now in Use- lz5 Miles Are Laid
 Annually
25O,OOO CUSTOMERS

Records of the Connecticut pub lie utilities commission show that in normal years, in order to keep pace with the demand for gas serv- ice, the public utilities in this state add to their distribution system be- tween 126 and 130 miles of new gas main each year. As in the case of most industries, the demand for extension of distribution systems for the purpose of serving new ter ritory has been cut in the past two years, but. latest records show that there is still an increase of about thirty-flve miles a year in the total length of gas pipe in Connecticut.
 At the present time, in order to bring gas to Connecticut's 260,000 domestic, industrial and conner cial customers, approximately 2,600 miles of pipe line of various sizes are required.
 Gas mains vary in size in accord ance with the requirements of dis tribution. Pipes of large diameter are used for the. main distribution lines which carry the gas from the holders to the major distribution centers. From these lines branch smaller mains which transmit it through side streets. Still smaller pipes carry the fuel directly into the customers home or conmer- cial or industrial establishment. Tho entire system, if 1t could be viewed from high above, would ap- pear like the top of huge tree With the gas holder as the trunk and the mains and pipes spread ing from 1t in much the same manner as the trees branches.

For time yesterday morning sin the course of the presentation of evidence 1t appeared ms if Hyland was to obtain the benefits of the doubt concerning his condition. The testimony of the state witt nesses favored him in this respect. Today Judge Edward Masooio re- marked that after yesterdays tes. timony there was a doubt in his mind. but after today's evidence had been presented there was no doubt.
 Hyland claimed that while being booked at headquarters last Sun- day morning he demanded that his lawyer, and doctor be notified. He pointed out Patrolman Albert Lacey as the officer he had in- structed. Officer Lacey admitted that Hyland wanted a doctor and a lawyer, but his request was made at 10 o'clock Sunday morning six hours after he had been arrested. The accused's past record was of no benefit to him.

SEEK GULF
 OUTLET FUNDS

New sOrleans --(UP)--A move has been started here to give. New Orleans shipping another outlet to the gulf.
 Leaders have indicated they will seek to obtain funds from the fed eral government.
 At d cost of approximately $1a,- 100000, it is planned to dredge out Bayou Bienverlu, connecting the Industrial canal with Lake Borgne. This would permit ships to travel through the canal and bayou, out into Lake Borgne, and thence along the Mississippi coast to gudf wa- ters. instead of proceedig 100 miles southward to the mouth of the river.
 The project, if carried out, 1t is claimed, would mean millions of dollars to New Orleans in in- creased shipping through the port.
 Among those agitating for the proposal are A. l.. Shushan, presi- dent of the New Orleans Levee board; Seymour Weiss, president of the Dock board; James M. Thompson, publisher of the New Orleans Item- Tribune; Mayor T. Semmes Walmsley and A. s. Nu- neg, dock board member.

FACTORY LIGHT.
 SYSTEM NEEDED
Quality Rather Than the Amount Important for
 Efficiency and Safety
GENERAL EFFECT BEST

Quality of light is even more inn portant than the amount of light used in industrial establishments if workers efficiency and safety is to be assured, 1t is pointed out by lighting experts of Connecticut public utilities. often, though there is plenty of light, 1t may be pro- ducing so much direct or reflected glare in the eyes of the workers that they are partially blinded. Bothersome shadows result if the lighting units are placed too far apart. These lower efficiency and increase the accident hazard.
 Light, experts say, should be thought of as a tool of industry, and, like all other tools, 1t must be properly utilized if the best results are to be obtained. Lighting a factory. therefore, Is a problem for the management rather than a task for the ordinary electrician. Adequate illumination over the entire working, area is essential; 1t may be provided by carefully designed overhead lighting sys- tenn. This consists of sources sym
 metrically arranged, usually &C., cording to bays, to produce ap- proximately uniform illumination. General lighting is far superior to local lighting, since it relieves light and dark contrasts, bright ems up the general appearance of the shop and promotes safety and sanitary conditions by lighting the areas between workspots and help ing tO keen all areas clean and free ffom hazards. When properly designed, the general lighting sys- tenn permits good vision in any To-
 cation or position. Often where extremely fine work or work in- volving an element of danger is to be don, the use of local gihting units Is desirable to obtain a well controlled high level of light, but these should be used with the gen. cral lighting system and not in w.ln >H

members fell out one by one, still the charter never was surrendered and 1t is understood that the new organization will do business un- der the old charter. The aim of the Bartenders' union, MT McAuIiffe states, will be to promote the in- terests of brewers who agree to employ none but union men and pay the rate of wages which the rules of the organization call for. Under this plan 1t is believed that the public will be well served.
 No date has yet been fixed for a meeting of the Bartenders' union. but 1t is likely that a session will be held some time during next week.
