either because the bull was mis-

mortgage wasn't filed for rec

story Of a missing bull mort

The Hon. John B. Irwin of

Twin City Milk Producers
Association, owner of the r.

lage of Richfield, and evidently
on intimate terms with several
influential politicians, had a
bunch last spring that he need
ed a few hundred Yankee pesos
for numerous purposes. The
bunch developed rapidly and on
May 25th, last, it had reached
the stage where he was ready
to sign on the speckled line and
he did.
He had confessed his need of
currency in such pathetic man.
ner that officials of the Regional
Agricultural Credit Corpora
ton (soft-hearted old dubs of
bourhonite persuasion) agreed
to transfer to his sole posses
sion a bundle of crisp bank
notes to the amount of eight

to receive in return Jawn' s

ton to chattel mortgage on
five Holstein cows. two of which
he declared to be 5 and one
half years of age, one Of 4 and
one-half years and two more
youngsters Of 2 years and six
months each. There was also

years and a bay gelding aged

WAGNER RELIEF
 BILL WILL AID UNEMPLOYMENT
Millions of Dollars Ready to Be Thrown Into States When Congress Takes Some Action

Washington, Feb 23-(U.P) = Millions of dollars in government funds are available to be thrown into the battle against unemploy ment as soon as congress approves liberalization of the Reconstruc- ton Finance Corporation rules. The Wagner relief bill, containing a provision designed to expedite con struction work by granting selt- liquidating loans on a more liber- al basis, was passed by the senate last week and now is awaiting ac- tion by the house.
 At present 14O loan applications totaling $363,277,000 are pending before the corporation. Liberaltza- ton of the act would speed their authorization, corporation officials said. Self-liquidating features oi the R. F. c. act have proved dis appointing from the standpoint of creating jobs, according to officials tho believe the law too strict. The Wagner bill would make any type of state and municipal construc. tion eligible for loans and would reduce interest rates.

 In Vicious Tragedy
That Deal Specter" Raised Its Head So Successfully the Chamber Was Turned Into Shambes Of ll1- sulting OratOrica Epithets

ate when the IS democrats stood together for it's adoption after 1t had been received on an unfavor- able report from the judiciary committee.
 When the judgeship fight broke in the senate with Senaotrs Joseph P. Cooney and Cornelius D. Shea. of Hartford, and William D. Hagearty, New Britain, switching their support to the republicans. Frank S. Bergin, New Haven, ma jority leader, loosed a vitriolic at- tack on Thomas J. Spellacy. Hart ford old guard leader. David Goldstein, Bridgeport, president pro tenn, joined him. and in the houses John A. Markham, minor ity leader, told the republicans that "a bribe given is equally as guilty as bribe taker.
 Bergin asserted Spellacy's share in the "judgeship peddling" would be four county commissionerships He said Spellacy was interested in two breweries and, with beer on the way. back, the Hartford leader wished to establish himself as a "beer baron"
 "I can understand the desire of a political leader to build up his party" Bergin said, "but here we have disloyal leader desiring to reward only those base enough to join him in his disloyalty."
 Senator Cooney defended his stand and declared the new guard CTS were guilty of numerous deals in the organization of the senate. He said the Constitution provided for the selection of judges by the general assembly and accused his fellow democrats of inconsistency.
 Let him who Is without sin cast the first stone," cried Cooney as he sat down.
 When the judgeship resolution to appoint Senator Hagearty judge of the city and police court at New Britain was before the house, Rep. Samuel S. Googel, democrat. New Britain, said he could not let the measure pass without an objection.
 "A man who will sell his party will sell his court" Googel said. Representative Francis w. Hogan. Torrington, likened Hagearty's &C., tion to his party to that of Behe- dict Arnold toward George Wash ington.
 The Hagearty resolution was but one of 40 rushed through the house in a wild session which did not end until nearly 4 o'clock.
 The senate, after debate, passed resolutions for the appointment of the following judges:
 Nehemiah Candee, city court, Norwalk; stephen L. Radford. bor- ough court, Greenwich; Brien Mc- Mahon, city court. Norwaik; Rob- .ert l..

the bill sought to cut the educa~ ton fees for outside students at- tending Waterbury high schools from $152 annually to $1OO..
 Waterbury delegated Attorney Edward J. Mcdonald of the Cor poration Counsels office to attend the hearing and oppose the meas- ure. Representative Cowdeil ex- plained to the committee that the measure affects towns whose grand list is less than two and a half million dollars. It asks that the state repay to those towns two- thirds of the amount spent by them for education, provided 40 per cent of the taxes collected are used for educational purposes. It adds further, that the state shall not pay more than $10O per stu- dent back to these towns. Attors ney Mcdonald offered no objec- tions to the measure when he was assured that the fee for outside students would not be altered.

DEATH OF PAUL
 BERN IS UNDER
 ANOTHER PROBE
Real Cause of End of Mo- ton Picture Man, and Husband of Jean Har= low, Hidden

Los Angeles, Feb 23-UP)- After unexpectedly reopening in- vestigation into the death of Paul Bern, motion picture executive and husband of Jean Harlow, the crim- inal complaints committee of the county grand jury will hear "new evidence" to-day, said to have been uncovered by private investigators. Decision of the jury committee to hear evidence to determine whether the case should be heard by the jury as a whole, was reached at a conference last night.
 Present at the conference were District Attorney Buron Fitts and his chief deputy Robert P. Stew art; w. w. Widenham, foreman of the grand jury, o. G. Lawton, grand juror, and an unnamed per- son.
 Presence of Miss Harlow at the inquiry was asked by the two grand jurors. Her attorney in- formed them Miss Harlow would testify if and when called, and that she had nothing to conceal.
 At the same time, it was learned that District Attorney Fitts had asked for and received a small book in which Bern's suicide note was penned.
 Bern's nude body was found in the dressing room of his Beverly Hills home on September 5, pis- tol by his side. A coroner's jury at that time agreed he had com- mitted suicide.
 Dependency over his married life with the beautiful Miss Har- low was generally ascribed as the reason for Bern's suicide.
 A few days after Bern's death, his brother, Henry Bern, of New Rochelle, N. Y.. arrived in Los An- geles. After lengthy investigation, he declared he was satisfied his brother had not killed himself.
 Later it was reported he had hired a private detective agency to conduct further inquiry.
 Bern telegraphed District Attor- ney Fitts last night that he was prepared to fly to Los Angeles at once if his presence were desired.
 Bern's death last September ended two months of what Holly wood termed an ideal married life" with Miss Harlow.
 A cryptic note to Miss Harlow was found beside Bern's body. The note read:
 This is the only way to make amends for my abject humiliation. You understand that last night was only q comedy"
 The note never has been ex- plained.

Hartford, Conn, Feb 23.-(UP) The senate of the general assem- ply, in which such names as traitor, Benedict Arnold, {, "Bribe Giver" and similar epithets were called yesterday afternoon, was to receive 40 judgeship resolu- tions from the house today, which are to be passed by a coalition bloc formed by the republicans aided by three "old guard" democrats.
 The deals between republicans and the old guard democratic fac- tion came into the open yesterday when judgeship resolutions were taken up. The ensuing verbal tilts were packed with strong language and harsh charges.
 The "dear judgeships were con- sidered after the senate passed the district court bill and sent it on to the house, where it soon met the defeat for which it was slated. The republicans voted it down 188 to 67, with one of their own party. Rep. J. Mortimer Bell. Salisbury, advising them to submit the ques- tion of popular election of judges to a referendum.
