It is possible that at Tuesdays hearing several changes in the pro- posed bill will be suggested by var ious residents of Connecticut. The measure as 1t now stands does not limit the number of licenses that can be issued. This means that anybody and everybody can pro- cure permit. There is likely to be a recommendation made that the number of licenses be limited in proportion to the population, just as the ssachusetts beer law provides. The question of adver- tising the petitions for licenses when they are either entered or when they are granted is also like ly to come up for a hearty dis cussion. Advertising was necessary before prohibition when licenses were issued.
 Tuesdays hearing will take place in the old senate chamber of the Capitol. The arguments for and against the present bill will be heard by the members of the ju- diciary committee. of which Sena- tor Joseph A. Hackett and Repre- sentative John D. Thoms of this city are members. The hearing will be public and is expected to be a very long one with numerous crit icisms of the bill as 1t now stands assured. Senator Frank Bergin. who helped draw the bill as pre- sented yesterday. is senate chair man of the judiciary committee. also.

 CHINESE FROM
 THE GREAT WALL
Battle Started Long Be-
 fore Dawn and Was Bit-
 terly Fought--Many on 4. Both Sides Killed

Shanahaikwan, China. April l. (UP) - A corps of major-general Iwata's infantry routed Chinese troops from Shihmenchai today af ter bitter light that began long before dawn. The Japanese occu- pied the town ... 9:30 a. m., seven hours after hostilities opened.
 The Chinese kept up a sporadic fire as they retreated, leav- ing the Japanese well inside the Great Wall. Their position ad- vanced the possibility they may be planning to extend their occupa- tion as far south as the Luan river. Casualties were reported heavy on both sides.
 The Japanese encountered stub born resistance. Supported by ar tillery units, the Nipponese troops advanced slowly in the face of a steady fire of the defenders. Fre- quent hand-to-hand encounters were reported.

 Tokio representatives of Occi- dental firms cited recent order of the Japanese Kwantung army as an indication of impending tariff action. Five leading petroleum com panies, all Japanese owned, were compelled to subscribe 500,000 yen each, while the South Manchuria Railway was assessed an addition al 500,000 yen, to erect a petroleum refinery.
 The refinery probably will be built near Hulutao, and will be equipped to supply the entire Man. choukuo market. Such interests as Standard, Dutch Shell and Sinclair, 1t appeared would be barred by tariff walls. Manchoukuo would get it's crude oil from Russia.
 The oil incident has been direct significant because the Kwantung army which will make 1t effective Is responsible only to Sadao Araki, the scholarly war minister of Ja- pan, and is the dominant force in Manchoukuo.
 Some observers believe that Arr aki intends to establish what he considers "an earthly paradise"- about a different paradise from the Occidental conception of equal op- portunity. Capitalists, both of Ja- pan and the Occident, will be dis appointed, for the lords of the Kwantung army have informed them that the "evils' of capitalism are not to be tolerated, and that Manchoukuo must be developed for "the forgotten man" of Manchuria and Japan.
 The oil incident has bene direct ed to the attention of American Ambassador Joseph Clark Grew. Standard Oil Company representa- tives are making a report to New York headquarters. Socony has en- joyed heavy sales in Manchuria.

 Reports of an authentic nature still indicate that Attorney Henry J. Freeman will be named prose- cutor. He Is a democrat and is supposed slated to displace the re- publican incumbent, Attorney Jo- seph E. Talbot. However. it is un- derstood that strong efforts are being made to save Talbot's post for him.
 Representative William J. Me- Dermott now appears to have the inside track in the race for the post of clerk of the court. He is democrat while the incumbent, John M. Sutherland. Is a republi- can. The democrats are willing to leave the probation officers's post to the present incumbent. William J. Nixon.
 Senator Joseph A. Hackett and Representative John D. Thoms of this city, member of tine Judiciary committed, maintain right along that no 'vote has yet been taken on the Naugatuck judgships al- though numerous executive ses- sipns of the committee have been held.

The amount of milk involved was not ascertained but was believed to have been a large quantity inasmuch as it represented the production of at least half dozen large producers in Amston, Westchester, Hebron, Coiumpla and other nearby communities.
 "We want cents quart or we won't ship" shouted one of the producers.
 An agent of the New Haven conn., pany was present during the dem- onstration but made no attempt to interfere or bargain with the angry farmers.

"Jerusalem-this way" some of the signs read. Others pictured bearded patriarchs painted over with swastika signs and bearing the crudely scrawled words, "Be- ware, Jews."
 In many shops where Jewish proprietors have gentle wives, or vice versa, the proprietors vainly tried to negotiate with Nazi pick cts. Many presented birth certifi- cates and Identification papers to claim gentle origin.
 One leather goods store dis tributed handbills. evidently in- spired by employees, which said: "This Is a Jewish shop. The pro- prietor pays his employees starva- ton wages. He goes by the name of Nathan Schmidt. This is in- tended to convey the impression that he is 8 gentle. Avoid this shop. Buy only German"
 Offices of Jewish lawyers and doctors were boycotted in desul- tory fashion by the pasting of strips of of paper over their name plates.
 "Consult German professional men!" the pastors read.
 Throughout the morning, Nazis paraded the streets in trucks chanting the refrain-"Don't buy Jewish goods--buy German"
 Trans and busses bore flags enl- blazoned with the NaZi swastika, interwined with the black and white flag which additionally honors Bismarck's birthday.
 Reports received in Berlin from other cities indicated similar ac- tivities were in progress every- where in Germany.
 In Munich the boycott was be- gun yesterday because many cus- toners tried to buy weekend sup plies last night. knowing the shops would be closed to-day.
 In hospitals and morgues Jewish doctors were permitted to partici- pate in postmortems only on the bodies of known Jews.
 In Frankfurt am Main, tho larger Jewish shops were closed, and only occasional purchasers ap- peared at the smaller places of business.
 In Dresden, placards in rhyme told would-be customers of Jewish shops that "whoever gives Jews his money weakens German econ omy." -
 Following reports in Hamburg that communists intended to make a demonstration and possibly to loot the stores, the police joined with storm troopers in covering the city with fast-moving protec- tive cordons.
 All shops remaining open in Cologne were picketed by storm troopers who bore placards an- nouncing that "all who buy here will be photographed"
 At noon, pickets entered the stock exchange at Frankfurt-am- Main and demanded that business be transacted only by gentle brokers. They announced, how ever, that all transactions hitherto completed must be honored.
 Tickets prevented Jewish stu dents from attending classes at the university.

of the latter firm and died by hid own hand on the day his trial was to begin. Lewis. F. M. Brady, Rosedon-Foote, who was named as Foote in the writs, and J. Clyde Heath of Lancaster, Pa, were in- dicted by a federal grand jury for using the mails to defraud in oper-. ations termed as an advance fee swindle. over $2,000,000 Is said to have been taken in this manner.
 Rosedon-Foote obtained $5,000 bail through the Independence In- demnity company of Philadelphia on the day of his indictment and then came to Bethlehem, Conn, to "Windhurst" the Rapsey estate.
 He had been told by Rapsey that he had home there at all times and it would be best for him to rest in the interim until his ar- raignment. The man followed this advice and was Rapsey's compan- Ion through the hectic days of the stock market drop and in his sub- sequent adventures, which culmin- ated in an automobile ride after midnight on August 15, 1882, and Rapsey's suicide sometime between 3:30 and 6:05 a. m. on August 16 in stable at his estate. Rosedon- Foote was the man who discovered the body of his friend dead in the stable.
 Accroding to -Foote. Rapsey had "cornered" a promin- ent Wall Street broker, whom he would not name, in Warner Broth- CTS stock and later the broker and several others, becoming piqued at Rapsey's rise in market manipula- tions, trapped him and he lost his fortune. Rapsey had been great believer in the occult and almost a fanatic in his followings of the signs of the Zodiac in his daily life and his stock dealings, Rosedon- Foote revealed. On the investment of the funds of Messina Clark. he had seen a propittous sign and could hardly believe himself that the inclinations of the stars and moon had failed him at the time of his smashing fall.
 After the suicide of Rapsey, Mrs Rapsey went to Newfoundland to live and Rosedon-Foote went first to a Waterbury hotel and later to a private home in Elizabeth street. that city. In the meantime. the bond given by the surety company had expired. His brother, George A. Foote, in whose hands the renewal of the bond has been entrusted, died and with his death also went the source of funds on which Edward Rosedon-Foote de- pended. Upon the. expiration of the bond, the government again sought Rosedon-Foote and Agent Carroll trailed him to Waterbury. It is the intention, according to Postal Inspector Hawksworth of Philadelphia, to bring Rosedon- Foote back to that city for trial

 Posters were attached to large display windows explaining the boycott.
 Numbers of furriers' shops, fesfaurants, cafes and other com- mercial houses, anticipating the boycott remained completely closed. Among them were the well known department stores, Herman Tietx and the Kaufhaus Des Westens.
 Nazi pickets pasted big black and yellow signs on the closed shops, but withdrew their pfckets when 1t was seen that they would remain locked.
 ' The noted shop of Wertheim's was open through the morning. but its aisles were almost empty.
 The boycott was less severe than had been anticipated, however, for | United Press correspondent was able to enter at least nine stores known to be owned by Jews, with out molestation from pickets. He was warned, not to make any pur- ehases.
 Jewish shops were open in the Fashionable west-center of Berlin, but there were no customers. V In many shops, the hardy soul who entered was greeted with the surprised expression, Good morn tng--you're the first one to come in to-day"
 \ Early in the day only clusters of the curious sightseers surround ed the pickets. As day wore on, however, the crowds grew so dense that the squads of Nazis. patrolling doorways, Haunting their swastika emblems. were hardly visible in the milling mobs.
 Would-be customers had to fight their way through these crowds. $ In some streets of the eastern section, where Jewish shops pre- dominate, nearly every shop was closed and shuttered.
 Some of these shops were pla- carded with signs advising cus- toners that it was dangerous to life to buy here."
 In some instances where official Nazi troops were unable to reach the shops, volunteers soaped Jew dsh windows with ribald inscrip- lions.

Pope Plus Opens
 Holy Year To-day
tContinued from Page l,


 a display of richness only exceeded when a pontiff is raised to the throne, began with a magnificent procession to the holy door. which had been blocked by solid masonry since the holy year of 1925.
 Every cardinal in Rome, a nun dred bishops and scores of arch bishops and patriarchs, with violet robes relieved by rich laces' ana jeweled mitres on their heads' sur rounded the pope during the sol- emn and impressive pageant. ' Lining the route of the prlei procession, and acting as spec. tacular bodyguard, were the papal guards in full dress uniform.
 In accordance with Lenten cus- toms. the predominant color of the prelates' robes was violet. The pontiff wore a precious miter.
 The climax of the ceremony came when the pope arrived be- fore the sealed holy door, at the right entrance to the Basilica, and was rendered a golden hammer by a servant. He knocked once or the masonry, crying aloud, "Aper' ite mini portas justitiae," ((Oper the door of Justice to Me)
 After a moment of silence. the pope struck the door with the golden mallet twice, reciting ir Latin, "I will enter into thy house 0, Lord!"
 Again there was an impressive silence, and for the third time the pontiff knocked, this time with tho ritualistic phrase, "Open the doors to me because God is with us, he who made virtue in Israel"
 At this signal, the masonry o1 the long closed door fell, and pre- lates sprinkled the threshold witf holy water, while specially ap' pointed workers cleared away tht portal and took away the debris.
 AS the regal procession passed through in his train, the cardinals stopped and each ceremoniallJ kissed the sides of the door. Int diplomatic corps and the Roman aristocracy followed, and aftel them the general public poured through into the edifice.
 Inside St Peter's 8 te deum wal sung. The pope then retired tt his apartments.
 The days ceremony began wher the cardinals met the pope in the SaIa Dei Paramenti, where the in- vestiture took place. A guard oi nobles. clad in red uniforms re- sembling the picturesque cos tunes of eighteenth century Brit. ish generals, followed the pope al he descended the stairs of Con. stantine to the right portico oi the basilica. Five thousand of the faithful had gathered in the vast space adjoining the papal throne at the left of the holy door, and all of them rose as the pope en. tered the loggia.
 At the beginning of the te deum within the church. the glitterinf miter was removed from thu pope's head. and the triple crowr of St Peters was substituted. To. days ceremonial was one oi those rare occasions when thu triple crown is used. Ordinarily Il Is seen only on the anniversary ol the p0ntiff's accession to thu
