CUT JURY PANEL TO SAVE STATE MONEY
CANCSTERS OF YOKOHAMA DID
 MUCH DAMAGE
200 of Them, Said to Be Hired, Tackle Singer Sewing Machine Co. Plan

Yokohoma, Japan, Jan 1S-- (UP)-Two hundred hired Japa- nese gangsters to-day attacked the three story Yokohama plant of the Singer Sewing Machine Go, in- turing 40 persons. Two employees were reported seriously hurt. It was believed the attack was in- spired by a strike of native em- ployes, rather than by anti Americanism. Employees in all the Japanese branches of the com- pany went on strike against al- legged abuses several months ago and were discharged.
 The gangsters destroyed files, in- cluding bills and records. Red and black ink was smeared around the accounting room. Furniture and windows were demolished. The modern building, located on Yokohama's bund, was badly dam aged inside. Employes seized chairs and ink bottles for weapons and resisted the attackers.
 An American assistant manager named Parsons led 60 employees from the second floor through q window to an adjoining roof. Guards hired by the company par ticipated in the battle. The fight lasted 20 minutes before Yokohoma police quelled 1t. The American consulate understood police ar- rested 124 of the gangsters.

ROOSEVELT AND STIMSON AGREE
 ON DEBT PLAN
Foreign Ideas Harmonious Except On War Debts, Was Result of Recent Conference
BY JOSEPH IT. BAIRD

Copyright 1888 By United Prcss)
 Washington, Jan 1s-(UP)-An unbroken progression Of American foreign policy on all major matters save war debts was assured at the recent conference between Secre- tary of State Stimson and Presi dent-elect Roosevelt.
 This information reached the United Press today from a source of unquestionable authority. It was the first comprehensive disclosure of their discussion.
 The two men, devoted most of their time to three outstanding problcms-war debts, disarmament and the far eastern policy.
 Secretary Stimson was said to have found Roosevelt q hearty supporter of disarmament and prepared to continue American cf- forts at Geneva to cut down tho worlds armies and navles. He is expected to adhere to the thesis of progressive. multilateral disarma- ment, having regard, however, to maintenance of the U. s. navy on the 5-5-3 ratio.
 The presldent-elect's public statement yesterday indicated what he already had told Stimson-that he was prepared to follow the Hoover administration'S policy in the far east. This policy is based on maintaining the "open door" doctrine in China, respect for the Kellogg pact and nine power treaty and non recognition of territorial l gains made in defiance of tho treaties.
 Knowledge of Roosevelts sup. port was behind Stlmson's roasser- ton of the "non-rocognition' doc- Urine in messages to American en- voys in London, Paris and Geneva.
 Meanwhile, 1t became known that while the administration plans to say nothing to Japan about the campaign in Jehol, any troop movement south of tho Great Wall will raise 0 new issue. The United States might then bo ex- pected to consult with other pow CTS regarding proper measures to protect their nationals in the Teiping- -Tiontsin area and to up- hold the nine.powor pact guaran- teeIng China's sovereignty.
 New force has been given the far eastern policy by Rooscvelt's public assurances of support.
 on war debts alone did Roose- welt differ from the policies now being followed by the state de- pertinent. Tho democratic prcsi- dont.olect Is opposed to tho Hoover plan to establish debt.funding commission. He was said to be- l!oye that the troublesome debt problem could Do settled more sat- isfactorily by direct negotiations between the state department and tho debtor governments.

PERFECT MURDER PRINCIPAL HAD
 TAKEN HIS LIFE
Suicide Verdict Rendered in the Case That Thrill- ed London and Scotland Yard Circles

London, Jan 1s.-(UP)-A yer. dict of suicide was returned today by a coroners jury Investigating the death of Samuel James Fur mace, accused as the murderer in London's '"perfect murder" case.
 Police indicated that Furnace hid q bottle of poison in his over- coat 90 cleverly that 1t eluded search of Scotland Yard detectives.
 A police constable testified at the coroner's inquest that he saw the prisoner drink from a bottle in his cell at Kentishtown jail. The con- stable grabbed the bottle as Fur mace collapsed. He died without giving the police any information.
 The prisoner, arrested on charges of murdering Walter Spatchett, was searched twice before being placed in cell.
 The London public eagerly awaited further details in the greatest real life "thriller" of re- cent years. It was expected that Furnace, who was almost success full in making police identify his victims body as his own, would follow the example of some charac- ter from Edgar Wallace, as he was found reading Wallace "Thrillors" when arrested after an extensive man hunt.

Adult classes of Crofts Evening school were accorded pleasant surprise last evening when visited by local state legislative members, John Thoms, Daniel Mahaney and Senator Joseph Hackett. Senator Joseph Lawlor, due to Q previous engagement, was unable to accom- pany his fellow lawmakers.
 They came at the invitation of John c. Gilmartin, supervisor of evening schools in this city. MT Gilmartin's object in inviting them was two-fold. First, he wished to familiarize the legislators with the by the teaching staff of Waterbury. Secondly, he desired to have the students meet and see the men who represented their city in Hartford and concerning whom they stud led or would study when their les son would be on state government.
 The guests were first conducted to Q beginners class, composed of women, who were unable to speak or to write English three months ago. The lesson was on Benjamin Franklin, whose birthday was bee HE CekOpTdtGu tuEOuBhous ShS country. The ability of the pupils to read; the legibility of their writing and the intense interest displayed by every one of them made e very strong impression upon the visitors. They remarked that 1t seemed incredible that an entire class could, in so short Q time, obtain such Q fine grasp of the English language. They stat cd that 1t undoubtedly was attrib- utable to the efficient work of the teaching staff and the concentrated effort of the pupils.
 Mir Gilmartin next conducted them to a class of second year pu- pills. The visitors quickly perceived the degree of graduation between the class just visited and the one they were visiting. Here the sub- feet pertained to the various modes of transportation. The answers and questions of the students showed their ability both to reason well and to speak intelligibly. In this room in addition to reading, the teacher dwelled at length on vocabulary and synonym work.
