 BEEN SETTLED
Full Amounts Were Turned Into City Treasury-New
 Law Enforced

Waterbury's first step towards enforcing the alias tax warrant act, pasesd by the legislature, result ed to-day in having over $23,000 turned into the city treasury. Taxes on the McGrath property at 428 43O West Main street, 125 South Main street and 118-120 South Main street were paid up in full to- day.
 Over two weeks ago the city called an auction on the West Main street property. Attorney Thomas F. McGrath appeared in the case and promised that the taxes would be paid. To-day the promise of Attorney McGrath was carried out.
 Furthermore, the taxes on the South Main street parcels of prop erty were also settled. The city administration this morning ex- pressed much satisfactoin in that it was not forced to carry out the re- quirements set forth.
 The taxes on the West Main street property amounted to $12,- 900. The remainder of the city's bill was for the South Main street taxes, plus interest.
 It was stated to-day at the city hall that the results of the eN- forcement of the alias tax warrant law proved very efficacious. There are several other pieces of property in Waterbury which are listed as coming under the same law. How ever, it was explained, there is no intent to einbarrass property own- CTS long delinquent but Tax Col lector William A. Ennis is obliged under the law, to take such action and protect his surety bond.

.LONERGAN STILL
 HOLDS REINS ON
 THEPATRONACE
Senator Seems to Have Gained Full Control By
 Congress Action

United States Senator Augustine Lonergan of Hartford is now vir- tually in control of Connecticut federal patronage, judging from re- ports from Washington, D C.. Yes terday the house followed the ex- ample of the senate in approving the plan of Senator Lonergan which would give him control of the patronage.
 Last week Senator Lonergan suc- ceeded in having the senate amend the treasury and post office supply bill so that it specified that none of the money carried, in the appro- priation could be paid to persons holding office under recess appoint ments of President Roosevelt,
 The bill is directed at the recess appointees of the present, namely, Internal Revenue Collector Dr. Edward G. Dolan of Manchester, Customs Collector Mrs. Fannie Dix on Welch of Columbia and U. S. District Attorney Frank Bergin of New Haven.
 The victory of Senator Lonergan was achieved through the inser- ton and final passage of an amendment to the original bill. Further amendments are expect ed from Senator Lonergan con. cehning other appropriation bills so as to prevent retention on the federal payroll of "new guard democrats in Connecticut.

WIFE OF ACCUSED MAN MUST FACE

Daughter of Minister is Implicated in Murders
 Done in Mass.

Boston, Mar. 1 UP Norma Brighton Millen, cultured young minister's daughter, who eloped with man now accused of four murders must stand trial as an al- legged accomplice-but not until she has helped the state send her hus- band and two other youths to the electric chair, authorities said to- day.
 Irked by what he termed the "un- warranted and untimely" criticism from a legislator who hinted that the state had promised Norma im- munity, District-Attorney Edmund R. Dewing of Norfolk county as- serted that the state twill prose- cute all those. involved in these outrages, relentlessly and remorse- lessly and no quarter will be shown anyone"
 { Explaining why Norma was merely labelled a material witness and admitted to 5000 bail, the dis trict-attorney said:
 ''There are no grounds for such critisicm. The state does not in- tend to compromise with anyone involved in crime. This county will not tolerate any granting of inn munity or special favors to per sons because they happen to be women At the proper time, the proper steps will be taken against this woman if it be proved that she is guilty of the charges mad eagainst her."

CAPITAL ENDED ITS MANY YEARS
 OF PROHIBITION
Seventeen Years It Has Been Thirsty - To-day
 There Was Celebration

Washington, March 1.-(UP)- The nations capital ended IT years of prohibition to-day with a cele- bration almost as exciting as the annual chess tournament in the old folks home. Sirens screamed and brakes screeched as police raced through icy streets at mid night with the licenses which made whiskey drinking legal again. That was about all the excitement there was. There were few crowds to drink the whiskey and precious little whiskey for the crowds to drink. President Roosevelt's new dealers were conspicuous by their absence from the few places where liquor actually was being sold. The White House was dark. So were most major hotels. Twenty cent taxi drivers sought inebriated pas- sengers in vain.
 'We got our license, but we couldn't get our liquor," said the manager of the Ambassador hoetl, ''and there wasn't anybody much waiting to drink it anyway His plaint was echoed by most other hotel men who had planned drink ing parties to begin immediately after midnight The Mayflower hotel kept it's $42,000 cocktail room closed until late this afternoon. The Willard, the Wardman Park and most of the other big hotels also intended to serve no liquor until the cocktail hour. The only major restaurant with a wine list which really functioned was a white-tiled emporium on Pennsylvania ave- nue. There government clerks con- gregated to puzzle over such mys- teries as Planters Punch. 40 cents, Alexander cocktails 30 cents and Burgundy $1.30 per bottle.
 Washington missed getting its legal liquor with the rest of the country because congress and the district commissioners wanted to adopt a perfect liquor law, to serve as model for the nation. This law provides that drinkers must drink sitting down, that they can't, watch their drinks being mixed and that they can't admire the pretty labels on the bottles which must be eofi- cealed.
