 Hopkins dissatisfaction with the
 present program was emphasized in speech in New York last night.
 He characterized it totally un- American way of meeting the prob- lem which should not be con- tinued day longer than is neces- sary. It is in this direction-the elim. ination of the necessity of relief through vital social and economic innovations - that other admins tration efforts are progressing. The president appointed over the week end a 19-member coun- cil to assist his committee on economic security in recommenu- ing a program of social insurance This would put unemployment in surance, old age security and ade. quate health care on permanent basis.

Workmen Razing Old
 Cooke St. Landmark
St Margaret's School Building Erected in 1864 May
 Be Replaced By Modern Apartment House

1 of the womens department of the Madison university, Wisconsin.
 Chartered in 1875
 The undertaking, although very useful to Waterbury, was not fi- nancially successful and a debt of $50, 900 was incurred. Then n gen. eral subscription among the citi- bens of the city and vicinity was started and a sufficient amount was raised to pay off the debt. A charter was obtained under the name of Saint Margaret's school for girls in June, 1875 and Rev Fran cis T. Russell, then associate rector of St Johns parish, was named rector. It was opened under the name of Saint Margarets School for Girls in 1875.
 The late we'll known Miss Mary R. Hillard was in charge of the school from 1895 to 1908 when she esta blished the Westover School for Girls in Middlebury.
 Prominent Graduates
 There are many Waterbury wo- men prominent in the life of the community who during the past 10 days have viewed with regret the raging of the old structure at the corner of Grove and Cooke streets. The new Saint Margarets school for Girls is now located on Chase Park Boulevard.
 It is understood that the tract made vacatn by the raZing of the old structure will be used for an apartment house.

THOMAS J. MOONEY TO GET HIS CHANCE
fContinued from Page l.)

fContinued from Page 1.)
 The proceeding itself was un- usual. The court frequently is ask ed to review habeas corpus pro- ceedings in the lower courts but these are appeal proceedings. The tribunal in such instances is barred from studying the facts of the case but must confine itself to the law.
 In the original proceedings in- voked by Moneys counsel the court was asked to consider all the, elements surrounding his trial in- cluding the alleged use of per- iured testimony by states ottorneys who prosecuted him for the alleg- cd murder of Hetta Knapp by set ting off the preparedness day par ade bomb July 22, 1916.
 Mooney contends that in keep ing him in San Quentin after the discovery of evidence that much of , the testimony on which he was convicted allegedly was perjured. he is being deprived of his liberty in violation of his constitutional guaranty of liberty and fair trial.
 In support of his petition he , submitted a complete summary of the numerous resorts to the state courts and executive clemency which have marked his fight for freedom. This, it was charged, showed he had exhausted every re- course under California law.
 CalifOrnia's Status
 San Francisco, Nov. 12-UP)- The state is not expected to offer concerted resistance when the U. s. supreme court considers the case of Tom Mooney who is serving life in San Quentin penitentiary. It was pointed out that the court will merely determine wheth- CT Mooney is entitled to a review of the California supreme courts refusal to grant Moneys lawyers writ of habeas corpus.
 If the decision is favorable to | the prisoner the state then Is ex- | pected to muster its legal forces | for what probably would be Moon | ey's last court fight.

John Brickel, veteran of the de- partment, is considered almost cer- tain of appointment as captain, while Lieut. John Dunphy is also in the field fo. advancement.
 The situation at present is fur ther confused by the fact that Mayor Frank Hayes is out of the city and will not be here when the police and fire boards meet on We'd nesday. The general belief is that the appointments, if any, will first be made in the fire department ranks, though the police vacancies have existed longer.

TWELVE MEN ARE

Toledo, O., Nov. 12-(UP)- Twelve men who left Toledo early yesterday in a 22-foot cabin cruis- CT to spend the day fishing in Maumee Bay, were reported miss ing today.
 The coast guard sent a vessel in search of the party. Great Lakes Dredge & Duck Co.,, ordered all hands to maintain a lookout.
 The fishermen, whose names were not immediately ascertained, put out from the boathouse of William A Reiter. They were to have returned last night.

 following for the honor, though 1t
 is believed that, once appointed chief, he would not care to hold it
 long, but would retire and let the
 chiefs job go to a younger man. The ultimate chief, it is believed,
 at least in the ranks of the fire de- partment, will be Captain Thomas
 Cavanaugh, veteran and well liked officer. Captain Cavanaugh will
 most probably be advanced to dep- uty chief when that position is to be filled. Also considered as can didate for deputy chief are Captain
 Martin Campion, department drill-
 master, and Captain stephen
 Bloomfield. both of whom have
 strong backing.

tion of our population would make up this loss to the treasury through the payment of income and inheritance taxes which would be made productive by the rivival of business"
 Eccles said wealthy persons might be frightened by his plan but insisted it was necessary to ob- tain an immediate better distribu- tion of wealth in the United States.
 Unification Program
 That program brought leccles to Roosevelt's attention and a year late MT Roosevelt sum- moned him to the treasury as special assistant. It was his first political job. AS head of the fed eral Reserve System he will urge unification of the American bank ing system which now comprises:
 l. More than 5000 Federal Re- serve (private) member banks.
 2. About 10000 (private) non- member banks.
 3. About 600 also privately owned) mutual savings banks.
 No other nation possesses so mixed and numerous a bank set Eup. Unification means simply that the Fedora l Reserve System would absorb the member state banks which now are not re- sponsible to it.
 The 1883 bank act put teeth in the law. The reserve board can compel removal of unsoundn bank officials. There was only the fic- ton of real and effective control before the 1893 act was passed |. Therefore, absorption of the num- erous state banks and a centraliza- tion of authority in the board board would be more than a ges- ture. It seems reasonable to be- lieve that is what MT Roosevelt has in mind-it would be the sub- stance if not the form of 8 central bank.
 Almost All New Dealers
 With Eccles. five of the eight board members are enthusiastic New Dealers. There is no reason to doubt that the board will do as MT Roosevelt suggests. Eccles' appointment makes the board de- finitely if unofficially part of the New Deal administration. Legally the board and any administrator are distinct although the secretary of treasury always has presided as ex-officio board chairman.
 Senator Carter Glass, d., Va, who sponsored the Federal Re sreve act in 1914, tried year ago to separate the Federal Reserve system from the government alto- gether by removing the secretary from board office. MT Roosevelt evidently is going in the other di- rection.

l. Unification of the banking system.
 2. Control of the accumulation of capital by high income and ln- heritance taxes.
 8. Prohibition of child labor; provision for minimum wages, old age and unemployment insurance.
 4. Reservation of real property and sales taxation to the states and income and inheritance taxation to the federal government.
 5. Creation of a federal agency to pass upon all foreign and dom estic securities before they are sold to American investors.
 z. Creation of a national econ omic planning board.
 8. Federal payment of deposit ors in banks closed in 1930-31-32- 33.
 g. Cancellation of war debts.
 His Claim for Cancellation
 Eccles suggested cancellation i'll exchange for foreign currency sta bilization, armaments reduction and certain trade concessions.
 He argued that:
 "No one would be as greatly benefited by cancellation as Amer ican agriculture and American la bor. A comparatively small DOT

Bridgeport, Conn, Nov 12-(UPl -J. Nicholas Dang, suspended president of the Connecticut Fed eration of Labor, has been sum- moned before an executive com mittee here Saturday to show cause why he should not be removed from office for attacking the can didacy of Gov Wilbur l..

Razing of the building at the northwest corner of Grove and Cooke streets, which since 1864 and up until few recent years ago was used for educational purposes un- der the name of Saint Margarets S School for Girls, has been partial lv completed. The work has been going on for the past ten days or more and is expected to be complet- ed shortly, thereby laying bare the huge tract of land at the point mentioned which holds fond mem ories to women throughout the United states and other countries who received their educationn in Waterbury.
 Saint Margaret's school was, Tn 1864, founded under the auspices Of the Waterbury School Association, private organization of citizens. The association had a capital paid in of $26,500 and the school was established through the influence of Rev R. O. Williams, deceased. The property where the raging IS now being conducted was bought from the late Samuel Cooke and the building now being torn down was erected. Rev and Mrs Will Hams, with much teaching experi- ence, conducted the school for four years and were succeeded by Ellz. a beth E. Earle, previously prinipai

industry to remove many workers from unemployed ranks. It is proposed that the government guarantee industry against possible losses from increased production.
 In effect, a factory owner would be told to start his plant operating at full capacity. If he could not sell the additional products, the government would take them off his hands for use, possibly, in re- lief or would compensate him for his loss.
 Proponents believe that wide scale move of this kind would stimulate industry so thoroughly and give so much employment that the cost would be small con- pared to the benefits. Suggestions were made that as many as 5,00O,- 900 might be re-employed. Many intricate details, however, remain to be determined.

 the liquor control board. Senator Bergin is chairman of the board. However, Senator Bergin did not resign from the board, pending ratification of his presidential ap- pointment by the U. S. senate. The confirmation did not go through so he dropped out of the district att torney's office and kept his place on the liquor commission.
 At the time more than 10000 recommendations from all parts or Connecticut were received by Gov Cross urging the naming of ex- Senator McGrath of this>city to the | liquor control board. Had Attor- ney Bergin been confirmed by the board it is practically an assured l fact that eX-Senator McGrath | would be on the board to-day fill l ing out the unexpired term of the | New Haven man.
 When the liquor control board | was set up Governor Cross, to show no feeling of partisanship. named | two republicans and one democrat to the commission. They were Sen- ator Bergin, democrat, to serve a
 term of six years, Major John
 Buckley, republican, to serve term of four years, and ex-Lieu- tenant Governor Spencer. republi- can, to serve for two years.
 The latter's term is up in July and Governor Cross is expected to give the democrats a majority on the commission at that time by naming member of his party. Ex- Senator McGrath is understood to stand strong in the governors es- timatoin in view of the many es- dorsements given him a few months ago for the Bergin place. l The appointment in July will be flor six years as the liquor board is continuing body.
