Pape Forces Win Victory In Second
 Ward Conference
Meeting Held in Attorney Engemans Office-Regular C. 0. P. Members Walk Out on SessiOn-Judge 'McGrath Declared to Be Advising Harmony Within Ranks

Members of the faction within the local republican party, sup porting the campaign of William J. Pape, local publisher, in his eff fort to gain control of the g. o. D.. city, town and school conventions so that he may dictate who shall be nominated on the ticket to be placed before the electorate in the coming city election, gave several well known republicans the cold shoulder last night at a meeting of second ward leaders.
 The meeting was held In the office of Attorney Herman Engel- man. The well known lawyer is not considered a member of any fac ton but as one of the second ward leaders permitted the use of his office for the gathering.
 After clever maneuvering the Pape forces of the second ward succeeded in making conditions so disagreeable for the regular republicans that several of them were forced to leave disgusted with the propositions made by the Pape forces.
 According to authentic reports, among the regular republicans who left the meeting in disgust were Judge John F. McGrath and Peter DiCicco, president of the Italian Republican club and city court interpreter. Judge McGrath, when talked with, stated that he did not know anything about the meeting. It is a we'll known fact that Judge McGrath. like several other well known and highly re- spected republicans of Waterbury. has been working to bring about harmony in the s. o. D. ranks and has attempted several times to

STERILIZATION
 OF CURRENCY IS
 SIDETRACKED
England Is Some Disap- pointed Over That Meet- ing of MOntagu Norman and the President

London, Aug 29-(UP)-Any currency stabilization agreement between England and the United States probably is out of the ques- .tion at least for several months. financial observers believed today. They were greatly impressed by the failure of the meeting between Prsident Roosevelt and Montagu Norman, governor of the Bank of England, to live up to the over optimistic and apparently unjusti- fled advance forecast which had been made here. Financial author ities generally held the following view:
 l. An agreement to steady dol- lar-sterling fluctuations is not worth while and probably would not work.
 2. Stabilization of the sterling dollar rate without relation to gold would be unwise because Britain is unwilling to link the pound to the dollar unless it is known where the dollar Is going. A question which even Mir Roose- welt is unable to answer.
 3. Sterling-doIla stabilization on gold is impossible, in view of Mir Roosevelt's determination to hold his infiationary powers in reserve.

MAN WELL KNOWN IN HARTFORD WAS
 SHOT TO DEATH
Harry Macklay and His Companion Killed in Gang Fued at Holly- wood Last Night

Hollywood, Aug 29-(UP)-A woman was questioned today in connection with the death of Harry Macklay, 29, New York, and r. Keller, St Louis, victims of a mur- derous fusillade at the exclusive Bella Napoli cafe last night. The execution squad, composed of three well-dressed men, shot them down and then retreated to the street whre a sedan driven by a fourth man waited.
 Miss Sonia Dresnick was taken into custody at her residence in Long Beach after police found Macklay and Keller had driven to the cafe in car registered in her name. The girl denied knowing the pair, declaring a friend had bor- rowed the car a few nights before.
 Selecting a list of possible mo- lives, police checked off as most likely gambling warfare or gang land retribution.
 The gambling theory was sup ported by the discovery of cards of gaming establishments on their persons. They were said to have been well acquainted at Long Beach and Mexican border resorts.
 Macklay was a familiar police figure in Hartford, Conn.,, Kansas City, New York and Los Angeles, officers said.

Gloves For Glamor, Fans For Flirting
King Tut Wore Gloves in 1850 B. C.]Pharoh Dis.
 cussed Uses of Fans

waiting for her maid in waiting to hand her her nightgown when, suddenly lady of the court en- tered and claimed the privilege. The court lady, however. had to re- move her gloves before this service could be rendered, and while she was taking them off princess dropped in to ask for the same privilege. She took precedence over the court lady, but likewise had to remove her mittens. In the mean. time, poor Queen Marie was get ting gooseflesh standing on the mat stark naked! A modern, and quite unrecorded remark she probably made in other phrasing was prob ably, For the love of Pete, will somebody hand me my pajamas be- fore I catch pneumonia?
 Now about fans. Pharoh had an idea that their use was three-fold: {: as an accessory of religious cere- mopial. an everyday necessity and an Implement of coquetry. All the Greek poets put a fan in Venus hand, and if you are up on your sirens you will know that Calypso. the tender, Circe the seductive, and Penelope the virtuous all toyed with palm leaf to enhance their charms
 The fan is said to have come to Europe from Japan, via China, in the course of trade, as in both of those countries it is held to be of the greatest antiquity.
 There was a 18th Century fan that played an historic role, when in 1927 the Dey of Algiers allowed his temper to run away with his reason at an audience of the his ears with Q fan he was holding. France refused to swallow the in- suit and replied by the conquest and annexation of Algiers.
