MACHINES
HELD ILLEGAL

A drive to rid Montgomery
county of slot machines will be
launched within the next few
days.
Chief Moxley ordered police to
warn county merchants who have
the machines in their establish
ments after States Attorney Sted-
man Prescott yesterday ruled that
the operation of the machines was
a violation of the county law.
The States attorney said he
felt that the majority of the mer-
chants operating the machines
were not aware that they were
violating the law and recommend
ed a friendly warning.
If the warning is not heeded' all
persons found operating the ma
chimes next week will be prose
cuted, Mr.. Prescott said.

SOMETHING TO BLOW
ABOUT"
From the way that yacht
race for Americas Cup is drag
ging along, it looks as though
they may have to finish it in
Ice. boats.
Everybody has become a
yachting expert, but the only
way most "landIubbers" can
really tell the difference be-
tween 'starbOard" and port"
:. is to look for the labels on
the bottles.
Americans are surprised by
the way the EndeavOur crossed
the line winner, on the first
two heats 80. Evidently, the
British aren't so slow in COM
ing across in their boats as
they are with their notes.
so REMEMBER:
The reason they always refer
to SailbOats as "she" is prob
ably because they make q bet
ter showing in the wind.

Boston, Feb. -(UP).-With liberal supplies of quarterblood tops available at slightly lower prices, the price of Ohio quarter blood fleeces was easier in the Bos- ton market today. The going price is now Al cents pound, and sell CTS who have asked 42 or more were actually offering to sell at Al today, which was considered sig nificant in the trade.

Will Soon Have Several Hundred Hands in Its
 Employ

Waterbury will welcome the Benrus Manufacturing company, which has taken over the former crystal plant of the Waterbury Clock company on Cherry street and will make jeweled watches and employ several hundred hands. most of whom will belong in Wa terbury.
 The factory is well equipped for Ghe business and under good man. agement, which is said to have the business in hand there is no req son why it should not succeed.
 The company will manufacture a different line of goods from that of any of the local concerns and therefore will not be in competition with any of the older concerns. Waterbury has enough skilled help to meet the requirements of the company, so that it will not have to go elsewhere for as many hands aS it will need.

BY ELMER 0. WALZER United Press Financial EditOrl

New York, Feb. 13-UP)- Weakness in alcohol stocks and strength in mining issues were the features in a dull stock market sesslon today. The main list be- haved well in Wall street opinion, a majority of stocks registering moderate gains.
 Pressure on the alcohol group resulted from proximity of the senate investigation into the sharp rise in the group prior to repeal. Buying of the silver mining shares was predicated on anticipation of some government aid for silver metal in the near future. Copper shares benefited by formulation of a code for the industry.
 Aviation stocks were still under the influence of the cancellation Of all air mail contracts. They ral- lied from their early lows, how ever, and selling frightened in all sections of the group, including United Aircraft which at one time tauched 17 5-8, off 7-8, from the previous close. Amusement shares made gains ranging to more than a point on outlook for improved earnings. Rails firmed on techni- cal grounds. Steels were steady to firm on a rise to nearly 40 per cent in the nations steel operations Oils gained fractionally. Utilities, motors, can stocks and rubbers were higher.

Among the socialist leaders ar rested were three women borough councillors, Therese Sieb, Leo- poldine Hummer and Marie Ikrasinger.
 Despite a communique to the contrary, suspicion arose that the governments occupation of the City Hall at noon yesterday was accompanied by violence. A United Press correspondent observed half-washed bloodstains on the staircase today.
 However, the new municipal die tator, Richard Schmitz, said at a press conference:
 "We encountered no resistance when we removed the socialist officials from the City Hall"
 An official communique remin- isccnt of war time announced that the municipal apartment houses called Schlingerhof in the Floris- dorf district of Vienna and had been captured by the authorities after the socialist residents capit- ulated to the threat of artillery bombardment.
 A similar block of apartments in the Gartenstadt district rejected the government ultimatum and a battery of artillery has been train ed on them.
 AZ motorized army battery ar rived at Steyr and, supported by a Heimwehr battalion personally commanded by Starhemberg, pre- pared to assault the socialist strongholds.
 Paris, Feb. 13-(UP)-The pos- sibility of an international army being organized to defend Austria's s independence in case of necessity was discussed in French circles to- day.
 Conversations between the gov vernments of Rome, London and Paris, were suggested to prepare for the possible offer of army units through the League of Nations to Chancellor Engelbert Dollfuss as the Austrian government desires.
 Such an international army, ac- cording to the French view would march only in an extreme effort to protect Austrian independence of all other attempts fail.
 Henry Berenger, chairman of the foreign relations committee of the
  newspaper Agence Economique ct Financiere, insists that France, Italy and England, must protect Vienna without the loss of a min we by force or international arms if need be-"
 "If not" he writes, it is the end of the league and the start of a European war, Disarmament is put into second place at Geneva, because the Austrain problem Is now dominant.
 "Italy may occupy Vienna If need he like Tirana (Albania). France associates herself with England in a firm effort to maintain Aus trias independence.
 "Concerted international occupa- ton of Vienna, If 1t becomes indis. pensible, should take the form or mn international army put at tho disposition of the Austrian govern- ment."

REPUBLICANS OF HOOVER REGIME
 BEGIN TALKING
There Is a Few Things That Please Them in
 Present New Deal

New York, Feb 13-UP)--The bitter denunciation of the Roosevelt new deal here last night by two republicans prominent in the Hoover administration was &C., cepted in political circles today as another g. o. D. move to strengthen it's position for the next congress fsional elections.
 The attack was delivered at the 18th annual Lincoln day dinner of the National Republican club by Representative James M. Beck of Pennsylvania, and Arthur M. Hyde, secretary of agriculture in the Hoover administration. Mean while, in Boston, former Senator George H. Moses of New Hamp- shire, was launching an arraign- ment of Roosevelt policies, even more severe than the Topeka, Kan, speech of Ogden Mills, former sec- retary of the treasury.
 Hyde asserted that the American people never had voted for the new deal as promulgated by the Roose- welt administration.
 "No majority could have sanc- toned it," he declared.
 Only one persons, Hyde said, 'saw the danger and warned that was Herbert Hoover, he said, "who some day will be understood and acclaimed, not only for the high patriotism of what he did, but tho lofty devotion to American insti- tutions in what he refused to do."
 The MIRA, the former cabinet officer declared, was a surrender by the states of their independence. There has been regimentation not only of men," he said, "but of thought"
 Hyde admitted "there are some good features" of the new deal, "but I do deny" he added, "that only good has been accomplished which could not have been achieved within the limits of the constitution, in harmony with American institutions, and with the full knowledge and approval of 0 majority of the American people who are ou ronly true sovereigns." :" Beck also attacked the MIRA as unconstitutional and called upon all republicans to fight the policies of the democratic administration (which have compromised the honor of the nation by violating its solemn promises, or are destructive of the form of government under which this nation has grown great"
 The congressman complimented President Roosevelt as "a great leader"
 Few of his predecessors have ever surpassed him in swiftness of decision or courage in action," he added. "We do not question his qualities as a leader, but we do feel greatly concerned as to where he is leading us."
