Three Firms Buy
City Funding Bonds


waterbury's 100000 funding
bond issue, authorized by tfe re-
cent session of the legislature, was
disposed of last night at a special
meeting of the board of aldermen.
A premium of $305 was realized
on the sale, which Is considered
good in view of the times. Three
companies bid on the issue but did
so jointly.
The bonds were bought Jointly,
therefore, by the r. f. Griggs COM
pany of this city, Halsey, Stewart
and company of New York and
Christensen, MacKinnon and COM
pany of New York.
Today City Clerk John Fitzmaur-
ice left for New York to sign and
deliver the bonds. The issue carries
an interest rate of 5 IL per cent
This is also considered a fair rate
for the present time. in view of
the fact that Hartford and Bridge
port have been obliged to attract
buyers to recent sales by Offering
per cent.
The $500,305 realized on the sale
of the bonds will be applied tc
, the $4,000 interest and redemp-
| ton item falling due this year on
| the city's outstanding bonded in
debtedness. BY floating the issue
the mayor was able to cut the lo-
cal tax rate for the present year
Another 100000 issue of fund
| ing bonds will be sold next year
and this money also, vii be used
to retire that much of the 1884 in
terest and redemption item. This
it is expected, will enable the ad-
ministration to keep the tax rate

erty, that the use Of the passway
by Maurice O'Connell, a predeces-
sor in title Of Mrs Cream, was by
virtue of an agreement with him
and was not supposed to be in any
way adverse to the ownership OF
Mrs Hayes. Mr. O'Connell confirm
ed this in his testimony and said
that he never had CLAIMED that his
use Of the passway was under any
claim Of a right to do so, but pure
ly by agreement and consent.
On these facts, counsel for Mrs
Brady claimed that there was no
adverse possession for the period
required by the statute and, there
fore, the plaintiff had acquired no
right to use the land In question
as a passway. This contention
Judge Simpson has sustained and

BITTER FIGHT
DR. Alfred Hugenberg May
Resign From Cabinet
and Make Protest to

By PAUL KECsKEMETT

Omitted Press STAFF Correspondent
Berlin, June 22-(UP)-Chan-
cellor Adolph Hitler faced his first
formidable opposition in his thar
monization" Of the fatherland to-
day.
DR. Alfred Hugenberg, leader OF
the powerful nationalist party and
influential industrialist, was al
most certain to resign as minister
OF commerce and agriculture in
Hitler's cabinet and to protest dis
solution Of the nationalists eight
ing squads to President Paul Won
Hindenburg. although he has CO.
operated fully in the ratification Of
Germany, has the power to dis
solve any cabinet at any time and
enforce his commands with the
might Of the army. Such a posi-
bility was believed unlikely. how
ever.
Hindenburg at present Is away
from Berlin and will not return
for several days.
Hugenberg's resignation would
force Hitler to recall the reichstag
to extend the terms of the author
ization by which cabinet DEGREES
have replaced legislative functions
In ruling Germany. Hitler's au-
thorization is for a cabinet of the
present composition"
Hugenberg conferred until late
last night with Hitler. He protest.
ed vigorously against the order
dissolving his green shirted fight
ing squads, an organization similar
to the Nazi storm troops, and the
organizations of youth affiliated
with 1t.
Besides Hugenberg there are
four nationalist cabinet ministers

foreign minister; Franz Guertner,
Justice; Baron Eltz Won Rue
benach, posts and transportation,
and Gunther Guerke, re-employ-
ment commissioner.
There was no word Of their at
titude. but observers believed they
would be forced by Hugenberg's
retirement, either to resign or dis
claim afiiliation with the national
list party.
The order dissolving the green
shirts and AFFILIATED bodies was q
sensation even here where sensn-
tions have been many since the
rise of the Nazis. Several hundred
men af1iliated with the green shirts
were arrested. All but forty had
been released last night. One Of
those arrested was Horst Hugen-
berg. a sub-editor of the Deutsche

CONNECTICUT MEN
 CAUGHT IN RAID
Snowy Roadhcuse Catch Nets Two Wanted By
 Nutmeg State

Boston, Oct 27--(UP)-In a spectacular ear1y-morning raid on a Wrentham roadhouse, police and state troopers to-day captured two suspects sought in connection with the slaying of Adolph Somnner, S2 year old millionaire Cambridge ifl-, ventor. The suspects, Marshall Bowles and James Deshler, and a young woman companion, were brought to Boston police headquar- ters, along with a confIscated au- tomobile believed to have been used by the gang that shot Som- mer last Friday.
 Only a few hours before the Wrentham raid. police had an- nounced they were investigating a theory that Sommer was not a victim of bandits, as previously supposed, but of hired gunmen. The motive for the murder, if com mitted by paid killers who faked Q robbery, was not wholly clear, au-' thorities said. Mrs Emmaline Son- iner, 63, the widow, and David P. Israel, counsel for Sommer, have been engaged in a legal battle over the inventors estate, valued at $1,0O0,000 or more.
