Only Two Insurance
Companies Admitted
Stringent Requirements Of State Insurance Dept.
Keep Out Nineteen Applicants in 1888

Twenty-one insurance companies
applied for admission to transact
insurance business in Connecticut
but only two were admitted by the
Connecticut Insurance department
in 1898. One of the two, the Me-
chanics and Trades Insurance COM
pany, a naffiliate of the National
Fire Insurance company of Hart
ford, moved its domicile from
Louisiana to the home offices of the
parent company.
The fact that only two COM
panies were admitted during the
wear is due to the stringent re-
Iuirements of the Connecticut in
.urance department which conf
panies must meet before authority
is granted them to deal with Con-
necticut residents.
Not Hardship
Insurance Commissioner Howard
P. Durham, in statement on the
admission of companies, pointed
out that the granting of licenses
to only. two companies and the
barring of the other 10 which APP
piled will not work any hardship
on Connecticut residents. There are

DOUBLE GUARDS
WATCH CELLS0F
KILLER BANDITS
Weapon Passed to One OF
Two in Dedhanl-TWO
Helpers Jailed

Dedham, Mass, March 22.-(CP)
Guards outside the cells of MUIR
ton and Irving Millen and Abe
Faber, the trio awaiting trial in
the Needham bank robbery muir
ders, were doubly alert today after
a. plot to help Faber escape or
commit suicide had been frus-
trated.
Two Dedham Jail inmates who
/ allegedly conspired with Faber-
the inventive Massachusetts Tech
graduate-to provide him with an
Instrument of some sort were IN
solitary confinement.
The contraband, believed to be
blunt weapon, was smuggled into
Faber's cell by Fred Holmes, who
has cleaned the cells OF the three
murder suspects daily since their
incarceration. A guard seized the
instrument as Holmes was about. to
pass it to Faber.
At the same time, outside the
cell. a negro inmate became en-
broiIed in a fist-fight with another
guard, Deputy Sheriff Lawrence
/, Dewar. 1t was believed the encoun-
ter was instigated by the negro to
distract attention from the SNUG
Cling of the weapon into Faber's
cell. State troopers interviewed to
halt the alteration, but not be-
fore Dewar suffered nose injury.
Because of the virtual impossi-
bility Of escaping from Dedham
Jail under present conditions. 1T
was generally believed that Faber
intended to use the mysterious
weapon to take his own life. He
is alleged to have remarked to
Holmes recently that IF I were
left alone for just Is minutes, they
wouldn't have to putt me on trial."
The discovery of the plot occur
red at about the same time that
Attorney Stanley Harvey was filing
special pleas declaring that the
Millen brothers were mot guilty
by reason of insanity, at the time
of the commission of the alleged
crimes with which they are
charged" A similar insanity plea
has already been filed upon behaIf
of Faber by Attorney William Il.

II have no sympathy with those
violating the present liquor law,
said Judge Edward A. Mascolo this
morning in city court as he mi
posed a fine of 500 and costs on
Arthur Baranuk. AZ, of IS Hill
street, charged with violation OF
the liquor law and keeping liquor
with intent to sell. Attorney John
Whalan entered an appeal and
bonds were set at $500.
Rihki Discharged
! A discharge was given Sam
Rink, ST, of the same address,
when it was brought out that he
was but an employee at the grocery
store and meat market operated by
Baranuk. Rink was arrested last
Friday when Captain Daniel Car
son and members of the vice squad
raided the store and found a jug
containing about three quarts OF
colored alcohol, drinking glasses,
and empty bottles. Arraigned yes
terday, Rink was given continue
ance and the arrest of the owner
was ordered.
Raranuk was then arrested late
yesterday morning on liquor law
violation charges. Attorney Whalan
claimed that the< liquor was for
Rihik's personal use and was not
for sale. His move for discharge
Of Baranuk was denied.
Dealers Handicapped
II am inclined to impose a
severe penalty" said Judge Mas
colo, because these liquor law vio-
lators make it difficult for law
abiding dealer, who has to go to
the expense of securing bond and
following the regulations, to do
business"

the mound than he did as batter
or backstop.
Disappointed In his hurting staff
this Spring, Ryba, 29-year-old
graduate of the Pennsylvania coal
mines, decided to do the rescue act
himself rather than try TO get
requirements. That was the be-
ginning Of o string Of victories
which had reached nine by late
July.
Ryba Is no stranger TO the box.
In fact, the st. Louis Cardinals
originally signed him as a pitcher
in 1923, sending him to Dayton in
the Central League. Next year,
with ScottSdale in the Middle At
lantic League, he unleashed a .440
batting attack which led the man
agement to train him as a receiver
so as to keep him in the lineup
every day.
In 1890 Ryba was catcher al
most entirely with Scottdale, hit
ting .356, but found time to pitch
four games and win three Of them.
Transferred to Springfield next
season, he batted .342 and pitched
three victories besides.
He spent 1882 with Houston IN
the Texas league, as catcher and
third baseman, then came back to
Springfield to stage his big batting
rampage as the clubs flrst-string
catcher. He kept his hand In at
pitching, however, by winning
three games out Of four.
