herself into a stream when some- thing bad happened to her chil- dren." Something bad has hap- pened to the Alcorn children through the medium of the gover- nor," he declared. First the weep ing had been for Little Hugh and now he weeps over Howie and well may he weep" MT. Fitzpat- rick challenged States Attorney Alcorn to show ''one solitary bit of progressive legislation" sponsored by his son, Senator Howard Alcorn while the latter was in the legisla- ture.
 The speaker also read police bulletin which included complaint that Colonel Anson T. McCook, g. o. p. candidate for congress, has been pestered by panhandlers, a store had been robbed of some hams and bacon and ladder had been stolen. q don't say Coloned McCook is responsible for the bur glary of the First National store by his refusal to contribute to the needy, but I greatly fear that the boys who took tke ladder sought a means to reach Colonel Me- Cooks pockets"
 Child Labor
 MT. Fitzpatrick also ninquired if "the distinguished editor of the Hartford Courant would say no apology is needed for" or whether MT. Alcorn would repudiate Judge William c Hungerfard of Water town, who is running for the sen, ate on the g. 0. D. ticket in the 32nd ticket, who refused to &C., cept a plank of the League of Women Voters against unemploy- ment of children under 16 years of age.

Answering States Attorney Hugh M. Alcorn's declaration that he wears no mans collar and stands in no mans shoes, James William Fitzpatrick of this city, speaking last night in Bushnell Memorial hall, Hartford, declared that If the s. o. p. gubernatorial nominee keeps on ''he will be running as a nudist." MT. Fitzpatrick told his 1istepers that he understood Big Hugh" was to speak in the hall to- morrow and that "knowing he has not sufficient material in the polit- ical issues to talk about" he would like to have two questions an- swered namely, what were the con- tributing causes to the law challenging jurors who had served on panels within five years, adopted in 1925, and to the amendment of this law in 1927.
 Mr. Fitzpatrick challanged At torney Alcorns claim that he does not believe in calling names. How long since?" he asked. He also asked if Attorney Alcorn had not, with his knowledge of the libel laws, ''by implication called the milk control board "a crook He charged that the g. o. D., nom inee is ''too cowardly" to make the actual accusation. Continuing, he Said that Attorney Alcorn had called Governor Cross a "Dr. Jekyl and Mir. Hyde." "I don't suppose he intended to call the governor murderer" he stated. What li- cense has a man like that to com plain of what names he is called,S he added.

 that presentation of the contract, demanding a 25 per cent pay in- crease, two weeks vacation, and certain changes in methods of store operations, hinged upon the ap- pointment with company officials.
 This is just the first battle IF our efforts to improve the lot of grocery store clerks" he said. "In a week or so we will present simi. lar demands to every other chain. The work will be done quickly" He declined to say what store chain would next be approached.
 Butler Company Unionized strongly represented in at least "half a dozen other chains" adding that clerks employed by the Butler organization were S5 per cent un- ionized. Company officials said they had no figures on union strength, but believed it to be be- low this estimate.
 The James Butler Grocery Com pany operates 665 stores in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. OLAhSAAAo VI b1lC CooOSIdIlOL 0lAA this was a prelude to an intensive drive to unionize and improve con- ditions of employees in all chain stores first in the east, then in all the United States.
 The drive will include all stores of the Great Atlantic and Pacific Tea Company, by far the largest of the operators of chain groceries. While it was formulating, directors of the A. & P. called in its super visors from the Cleveland district to help decide whether to accept terms of a peace plan under which it would reopen its 30 0Cleveland stores and re-engage 2,200 dis charged employees. The ycompany's decision probably will not be an- nounced for several days.
 Some of the Demands
 The grocery chain store execu- tives and employees association is affiliated through the Retail Clarks international Protective Association with the American Federation of Labor. From the Butler chain. which association officials said had been 85 per cent unionized, it will demand 25 per cent increases in pay, two weeks vacation TOT all employees, and elimination of "un- fair' practices in employer-em- ploye dealings.
 The same demands will be made upon all chain stores in the east and within 8 short time on all in the nation, R. D. Denies. eastern representative of the Retail Clerks International announced.

Samuel HsuU WU !. Face Ordeal To-day
tContinued from Page I,

Insull offered the story of his life. He asked the jury to consider mo- tives and to decide whether character of "A years formation should not outweigh circumstantial evidence.
 Very Weak Old Man
 The gray-haired defendant was pale and seemed weak as he pre- pared to tell for the first time of the days after 1929 when he fought with millions of dollars against ruin overtaking him. His shoulders, once arrogantly erect, were stopped in weariness. His voice was weak. Only the white which showed occasionally at his knuckles as he grasped his chair arm disclosed the fight left in him.
 He glanced occasionally toward his petite, aristocratic wife, sit- tators' area, from which she was absent during much of the gov ernment's testimony.
 "I didn't want to hear the other sideof this,' she explained. T know him better than they do."
 Insults plan of defense was re- vealed yesterday when his attor- ney admitted in an opening state ment that everything the govern ment had charged was true except that stock of Corporation Securi- ties company was misrepresented and that any of the Insull group profited in the company's debacle.
 'Insull was wrong," Thompson said. His judgment was bad. He couldn't stand the tide that set against him on that black Friday in october, 1929. But when the ship went down with all his for tune of 40 years he did not get out from under. He was on deck at the last.
 My clients do not ask for sym pathy. They ask only that a fair appraisal of their actions be made in the light of conditions and cir cumstances at the time they were acting"
 Attorneys for 15 other defend- ants who lost motion for directed verdicts of acquittal followed Thompson with statements in be- half of their clients-Staniey Field, nationally known financier and philanthropist; Harold and Charles B. Stewart of Halsey, Stuart & Co, investment brokers; Frank K. Shrader, Clarence T. MacNeille, Clarence w. Wills, George A. Kemp. Robert w. Waite. Frank R. Evers, Waldo F. Tobey, Philip J. McEnroe, John F. O'Keeke and Edward J. Doyle.

 Mrs Insull daubed her eyes with handke kerchief in the front row of 5 spectators seats.
 "Thomas Edison's first wife was a charming, elegant person. 1nsu said after recovering his compo- sure. "She was very kind to q homecick immigrant boy who was !. without friends"
 He described Edison as "a most unusual man who worked all hours of the day and night" : Once. he said, he wrote a paper on Edison for London publica- tion.
 Insull told of his birth on Lon dons east side, the day school he attended at Westminster Bridge and a private school he later att steEded at Oxford.
 When I was IA my father thought I ought to be looking around for a business career and , he took me into Lendon to Thomas Cook x Son." Insull said. 'He thought I might go into the tourist business
 When asked his age, Insull said:
 ''I'll be 75 next Sunday week."
 Mustered His Strength
 Mastering ebbing strength for the greatest ordeal of his career sthe white-hai former million aire, talked rapidly and clearly as he began his story. He told of his birth in London 75 years ago as the son of poor preacher, of his meagre schooling, and his youthful ambition. Words tumbled from his lips as his attorney, Floyd E. Thompson, guided him.
 He appeared eager to reach the climax in an effort to convince the jury that he may have been guilty of bad judgment but that he never deliberately swindled a half mill lion investors, as the government charges.
 For a month Insull has sat in Judge James H. Wilkerson's court room with 16 co-defendants, in- cluding his son, and heard pa rade of witnesses testify that he engineered a $143,000,000 mail SWlilult tHEOuSH lIie OpcIdllOIS Ol his Corporation Securities com pany.
 Heard His Record Told
 Through 25 court days Insull had heard himself described to d jury of small business men. clerks, salesmen and laborers as crim- inal, robber of men and women who trusted him, an industrial em- peror who used his power for his own profit and to the ruination of thousands.
 Government prosecutors and wit nesses charged Insull and his son and 15 associates took $143,000,- 900 out of Corporation Securities company. apex of the great chain of operating and stock concerns, while investors lost every penny entrusted to them.
 Against mountain of expert Testimony the stopped and pinch faced old man opposed defense that reused the jury from its 1ethargy and filled the meagro seating space of the courtroom long before Judge James H. Will keyson took his seat.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.- The tropics are calling nautical-minded President Roosevelt and if he can finish with Congress in time he will be off soon after April on a 15,0O0-mile cruise to Americas out lying possessions.
 The President has in mind a cruise that would take him first to Puerto Rico, thence to Panama and the Hawaiian Islands, and back to the mainland at San Francisco or Los Angeles He probably would return by train to Washington.
 Preparations already are pro- ceeding at these points and in Washington and the President can be certain of receiving whole hearted welcome on the first swing around the great tropical circle ever made by an American Presi- dent in office.
 The projected trip would require at least a month. The President already has before him an invita- tion to extend his cruise to the Philippine Islands, and he has ex-
