BANK TO SETTLE
 GOOD DIVIDEND
 ON JANUARY 10
DepOsitOrs of Sanditz and Traurig to Receive
 Fifteen Per Cent

Depositors of the Sanditz & Traurig bank will receive q IS per cent dividend on their deposits on Jan 10. according to an order pass ed in superior court today by Judge Newell Jennings. The dividend pay ment will require about $2S,000.
 Attorney L. Russell Carter, coun- sel for the receiver, the Waterbury National bank, told the court the receiver recently received $12,000 from it's certificate of deposit at the Merchants Trust Go. The sum represented payments on the three commercial dividends declared by tho receiver for the Merchants Trust Co.
 Tn receiver was allowed $1,835 for its expenses in the Sanditz & Traurig car and the same receiver was granted $2,735 for expenses in the operation of the Kazemekas & Co receivership. The sums repre- sent amounts paid out by the re- ceiver to it's own employees in con- ducting the receivership, consisting principally of payrolls.
 The receiver thought it might be able to pay the dividend to the de- positors the Sanditz & Traurig bank by Christmas time, but there will not be sufficient cash to pay a dividend and still leave enough on hand for security purposes.

UnsinkabLe Speed Boats To Be Used By Great Britain

suggested speed boats.
 The suggestion brought nothing but ridicule from the admiralty. Lawrence induced the speed boat designer Scott Paine, who tried vainly last summer to lift the Harmsworth speed trophy from Gar ood at Detroit, to make him a boat.
 It was an armored speed boat, and it was so successful in tests that criticism was overcome and the Royal Air force immediately ordered others to be built in great est secrecy.
 Thus Lawrence again has proved himself of inestimable value to his government. It was as an obscure young officer, volunteer, that he won fame in Arabia in the World war. He refused decorations and honors and promotion, and after writing of his experiences enlisted quietly in the Royal air force as aircraftsman shaw. He has re. mained there ever since. apparent ly wishing for nothing.

New York, Dec 15-(UP)- Stocks slowly declined to losses of fractions to 2 points in tocay's ses- sion. Wheat closed slightly higher. but other grains were mixed; cot- ton held steady; silver rose 1-2 cent; rubber, tin, hides, silk and copper futures made gains. The dollar firmed up after an early de- cline, and bonds turned irregularly lower.
 There was no pressure in any particular section of the stock mar ket but neither was there any de- mand of consequence except in a few special issues. Among the lat- ter were several railroad equipment shares of which Pullman was the feature. Rails were depressed on g. decline in car loadings from the previou syear.
 Chemical shares, recent favor ties, were forced down by profit taking. Allied lost more than 2 points and Du Pont more than a point. U. S. Industrial alcohol was down 2 points in a weak wet group. Oils lost fractions to point. Mo- tors were down fractionally. Util- ities held fairly well. but communi- cation issues met selling after re- cent strength.
 Gold mining shares were de- pressed as the R. F. c. held it's gold price at $34.O1. The decision of the house of lords in reversing a gold clause finding of the chancery court on the case of Belgian unit had little market effect, although it was said this ruling might be the basis for supreme court test of the gold clause abbrogation in this country.
 Retail trade issues lost ground despite steady improvement in re- tailing reported by Dun & Brad street.
 International Telephone eased Q small fraction. It was aided during most of the day by favorable earnings report. Postal Telegraph, its subsidiary, was sold on poor earnings statement.
 Steel common touched 46 1-8 and then rallied to close at AT IA off I-8 on the day. American Can was down . point. Other issues to lose a point or more included American

MORE MODERATE
 CONN. WEATHER

New Haven, Conn, Dec 15 .(UP) Warmer temperatures reported over the Great Lakes region to-day are expected to bring more moder- ate weather to Connecticut tonight or tomorrow, according to c. J. Doherty, weather observer here.
 Meantime sharp. drop in tenn perature during the night sent the mercury falling in all parts of the state, and this morning tempera- lures generally were eight to ten degrees below yesterdays readings.
 A fall of fine sleet accompanied the change. It made driving ex- tremely hazardous. Not only were the streets and highways covered with the thin coating of ice. but windshields quickly covered so that visibility was greatly reduced.
 The prediction was that as the temperature rose the sleet would turn to rain.

POLAND TO JOIN
 NATIONS CHAIN
Will Be Governed By a Chosen Few Big Brains
 in the Future

Warsaw, Poland, Dec 15-(UP) Poland was headed toward non- parliamentary government today, to complete chain of states from Russia to Italy that have become "20th century" nations.
 Russia, Poland, Austria, and, Italy, then would be, governed by a chosen few "big brains instead of by rlian.ents-and all except communist Russia, governed by fas- cists.
 A meeting of the government par ties loyal to Marshal Josef Pilsud- ski, war minister and real dictator, decided to join Poland to the fas- cist standard.
 After long consideration of the best means of strengthening the ex- ecutive powers at the cost of the legislative, 1t was decided to make the sejm, corresponding to the house of representatives, an advis- ory body to the senate and picked council. The president-now Ig- macy Moscicki--would pick one- third of the council. Members of the Polish legion and holders of war and other military decorations would choose the other two-thirds.
 Dictatorial powers would be put in the hands of the president. How ever. Pilsudski is the power behind ffle president.

 Scuffle

John Bowling, aged 37. of S5 orange street was received at the Waterbury hospital early this aft ernoon for a fractured left arm and dislocated shoulder. He was later discharged and permitted to return to his home.
 The story in connection with the injuries of Mir Bowling sound like a prohibition tale. A tough customer sauntered in an East Main street restaurant of which Bowling is manager and started a disturbance. When the excitement was over there was work for the doctor to do on the managers arm and shoulder. There were no ar- rests in connection with the incl dent.

 Washington, Dec 1.-The wo- mems organization for national prohibition reform held luncheon here the other day to celebrate repeal.
 The women made speeches, praised Mrs Charles H, Sabin, their chief, considered reports and then ordered the waiter to lock all the doors. Mrat happened, there after, was supposed to be a secret. It remained so until today, when one of the guests reached the limit of endurance and told.
 It seemed that when the doors were locked the walters brought in special bottles, each holding a gall lon of 32 beer and the labels on the bottles bore pictures of cele- brated dry leaders. The anti-pro- hibition women admired the labels and tasted the beer, but they didn't drink much of it. They said they didn't particularly like beer. Secretary ot the president Mar win Fl. Mcintyre has large, sunny, and quiet office at the White House. Visitors of President Roosevelt use it as an ante-room. Secretary of Agriculture Wallace, frequent caller upon the president enjoys cooling his heels in it. ''Its the only place in Washing ton," he says, where l can find peace"

AND NOW THE STATE
(New Haven Registerl

\4NNW L1dtSH IcSASICTI
 Announcement that Connecticut must soon go into the loan mark ket foh funds to carry it along until tax money comes in is strange news for this state. That has not had to be done for more than a de- cade. There has always been either a surplus carried over from year to year or enough funds unneeded at the time in some department for the others to borrow from. Neither of those conditions holds now, and the state is to go outside for g mil lion dollars, said to be 'at least" that, in tax anticipation borrow ing. The states financial condi- ton is such that no difficulty is expected in getting the funds and at a low interest rate. For that there can be gratitude, considering the fix some governmental divis- ions have been or are in. But for the fact that the borrowing was made necessary there con be due something else, for part of 1t any way. Several hundred thousand dollars were to have been saved last spring by the quick enaction of the state salary adjustment pro- gram. Instead of being made to take effect at the beginning of March, to save $100,000 a month, 1t was dragged out over a squabble about a $12,500 annual item. That lost. saving per month Is one item that goes to show why the avail able cash will not stretch out until more taxes come in. The fact that a lighter highway program was not ordered is another.a How near revenues will break with expenses thereafter remains to be seen.

A Sad Ending

The end of the womens national ten his championships at Forest Hills Saturday added more fuel to the fire of criticism be- ing heaped on the United States Lawn Ten his association That organization has failed to meet with popular approval at var- ous times in the last few years In fact never in its history has it been so evident that some vital force is strangely absent than right now. Whether or not it should shoulder the full blame for the fukey ending of the tourney remains to be seen. Certainly it owes the public some sort of an apology. If we were as outspoken as some of the New York sport writers we'd prob ably say none would be forthcoming,
 Twice the U. S. L. T. A. has fooled the public this season. And both times it was at womens tennis matches. News that Helen Wills Moody would be unable to compete in the Wightman Cup matches was certainly deliberately withheld for fear that the gate receipts would suffer as re- suit. It was obvious that when the news did reach the tennisloving public there would be a greater reaction than if Queen Helen's physical inability to compete had Dtcu ASLdidcd oSiiic ddTo III odNoiSS' AS 10 also question whether Mrs Moody played in the national singles at the tennis as- sociation's demand or more to keep faith with hundreds of admirers.
 At any rate without detracting one whit from the marvellous game that Helen Jacobs displayed on last Saturday it must have been apparent to onlookers during the week that they were not witnessing the Helen Wills Moody of other years. There cer- tainly has been no exaggeration of the ex- tent of her physical ailment. This may be the beginning of the end for Mrs Moody. but if so it certainly was hastened by the desire of the good old U. S. L. T. A. to fill the stands at Forest Hills. A natural desire. no doubt. but one that should be tempered by bit of humanity and certain regard for the cash customers who after all are entitled to see physically fit play CTS compete and not those who should be under the constant care of physician.
