The Daughters of the Revo-

very POLITICALLY inclined. Their
gift giving ceremony the other
day showed their bright and
tender attitude toward the sor-
did matter of money. When
the time came for each State
regent to announce her chap
ter's annual offering to the con-
vention-at-large she stepped up
to the microphone, probably
the first time many a regent
had associated with the brutal
instrument. and in accents
which proclaimed the part of
the country her Revolutionary
ancestors came from, said
something like this:
"Twenty-five dollars for
snowballs from Pittsfield,
Mass"
This statement was no indi-
cation that the regent meant
real snowballs or that anybody
in Pittsfield wanted to aim one
at anything or anybody. It was
just a pretty way of saying that
Pittsfield wanted to give a little
present of $25 to the National
Society.

Twenty-Five dollars for Trailing

Writing and producing a play
In two languages seems an i'm
possible achievement. To the
group of Russians of the old
regime who are clinging to
their traditions in the midst of
an active new Russian influence
in Washington, it has been
pleasant winters undertaking
for the benefit of the Russian
Church of st. Nicholas.
On Saturday evening the
Russian Dramatic Committee Of
Washington will give a "Hov
Do You Like this Country" at
Pierce Hall, Fifteenth and Har-
ward Sts., under the patronage
of H. I. H.. the Grand Duchess
Marie, and a group Of prom
inent Washingtonians.
Nathalie Scheffer. who wrote
this play, is the wife of Paul
Scheffer, an internationally
known journalist. Herself a
member of an aristocratic Rus
sian family, Mrs. Scheffer is
also the author of Twice
Born in Russia" her own ex-
perience in the Russian Revo-
luton. Nine. Mishtowt, wife
of the military attache Of the
old Russian embassy, a niece
OF Rimsky-K -Korsakoff, and a
great niece of Tschaikovsky,
will have an important role in
the play. Nine. Mishtowt is
the business manager of the
undertaking.
DR.. Paul S. Galtsoff, who has
a principal part, was a famous
biologist in the Crimea before
he came to America. He is now
a biologist in the Department of
Commerce. The Russian expert
ences of DR.. Leonid Strakhovsky,
who plays an interesting char
acter in the play, would make a
thrilling drama. DR.. Strakhov-
sky is now teaching interna.

School in Georgetown Univer-
Sity.
Mr.. Vladimir Gsovski is stag
ing the drama.
How Do You Like This
Country" tells the vicissitudes of
a group of Russians, not unlike
those actually endured by the
actors in Mrs. Scheffer's play
before they come to America.
Although the first two acts are
spoken principally in Russian,
the role of an American, played
by Wilbur Belts, carries a story
for a non-Russian audience.
The third act, spoken in Eng
lish, unites the Russian exiles in
happy American life.

 The woman, Mrs Lillian Dawson said four men in an automobile drove up alongside their automo- bile and ordered Arbona to "stick 'emaup."
 When Arbona had rolled down the window in the automobile, one man thrust in his gun and fired she. said.

 Assets WiU Be Sold
Judge Els Renders Decision To-day Reorganization of New Corporation Under Private Direction
 and Not Receivership

Sale of the assets of the Boards ley and Wolcott Manufacturing company, as final step towards reorganization of the corporation under private direction instead of the present receivership, was au- thorized today by the superior court in a decision handed down by Judge Arthur F. Fills. The sale of the as- sets is to be made to the trustees representing 95 per cent of the amount of the common claims but the sale is not to take place, that is, title is not to be transferred to the new corporation, until sufficient evi- dence is submitted to show that the preferred claim of the city of Wa terbury for taxes has been paid.
 The city claims $55,000. All the personal property taxes must be paid at once. The balance will be paid on the real estate in period satisfactory to the municipality, Judge Els ruling sets forth.
 The sale of the assets to the new corporation cannot take place, further, until the superior court is furnished with additional evil dence of all the receivers expenses such as the receivers fee, the fee (Continued on Page 4.)

COSS HELPED TO BEAT BILL THAT
 IS DANGEROUS
Manufactured Articles in This City Would Have
 Been Injured

National legislation which, if passed. would have enabled the federal government to manufac- ture it's own locks for mail bags and other equipment for the post office, much to the detriment of Waterbury factories, has been de- feated. Congressman E.. w. Goss of this city. member of the Sco- will Manufacturing Company, but, at the same time, representing the entire industrial Naugatuck valley, a part of the fifth congressional district, has successfully led a fight against a bill personally backed by Mrs Roosevelt, wife of the presi- dent.
 Congressman Goss's action was hailed today on all sides locally and through the Naugatuck valley with' much satisfaction, not only by manufacturers but also by the workers in general.
 The entire personnel of Connec- ticut in the national house of rep resentatives. irrespective of party lines, joined in opposing the pro- VlSlOn III tne pOobciA-NO bill providing for a government factory to take care of the manu- facture of locks and so forth.
 The factory, as proposed, would be set up at Reedsville, West Vir- ginia, and would be erected with public works money.
 As originally passed by the house, the bill was worded so as 10 prohibit the disbursement of any omney carried therein to the fac tory advocated by Mrs Roosevelt. The senate amended the bill to per- init the postoffice department to purchase mail bags and locks from the factory and have repair work done there. By a ballot of 275 to 110 the house defeated the amend ment. Connecticut's congressma voted, 100 per cent, to reject the senate amendment. Therefore, 1t is unlikely that any local factories or other plants in Connecticut are capable of handling the work will be deprived of the right of com petitive bidding. If the govern ment factory was set up, 1t Is argued, the local and state industry would be robbed of an opportunity to compete in the field.

CONFESSION OF
 DIR WYNEKOOP
That Is Center of COn- tentiOn To-day as Trial
 Was Resumed

Chicago, Mar. 3-CUP)-The much disputed confession of Dr. Alice Lindsay Wynekoop was the center of contention today at her trial on charges of murdering her daug law, titan haired Rhe- ta Gardner Wynekoop.
 The frail, 63-year-old physician appeared on the verge of a collapse as she was called to appear for another day of gruelling cross-ex- animation concerning her many versions of the operating table" staying.
 Against the advice of physicians who had watched at her bedside through most of he night after she had fainted in the jail hospital she was determined to continue her desperate bid for freedom.
 Her collapse at her first trial six weeks ago forced the judge to grant a defense motion for a mis- trial as the state neared com pletion of it's case. Since then the only time she has been out of bed was during her appearances in court

Daughter of Minister Was Placed Under Arrest
 During Night

Boston, March 3-(UP,-Norma Brighton Millen,- cultured and vivacious young minister's daugh- ter and a four-month bride, was held in jail cell under $50.0O0 bail today as an alleged accessory after the, fact to two of the most cold-blooded murders in Massa- chusetts history.
 Conviction would keep the 19- year-old beauty behind the bars for perhaps as long as 10 years. Her arrest came suddenly last eight as result of her reputed ad- missions that she assisted in burn ing the. stolen Packard sedan which her husband, Murton Mill len. his brother, Irving, and Abra ham M.

BOTH THE LOCAL PARTIES 10 HAVE
 SENATOR FIGHT
18th and 10th Districts Will Be battle-ground
 for Primaries

With republican and democratic primary battles apparently sched- uled in the 18th senatorial district and the possibility of democratic fight in the 18th district. local af- fairs, as far as they concern the coming state election, today prom ised to give Waterbury very ex- citing political picture, The. demo- crats will definitely fight in the 18th district. It is likely that the republicans will do so, too. In the 18th the present democratic incum- bent is apt to have opposition from independent forces.
 From the republican angle, the battle in the 18th is expected to be between Attorney Robert D. Lark1n and Captain J. William Carroll. The latter has already received the in- dorsement of the local veterans or- ganizations. The former, it IS un- derstood, is being supported by members of the Waterbury bar and many other g. o. p. chieftains in the 18th.
 On the other hand, the sfignt among the d. ocrats will involve the present senator, Attorney Jo- seph A. Hackett and George Gull hane, head of one of the city's well known brokerage houses. It Is un- derstood that Senator Hackett will fight to have the senatorial pri mary in October or late Septem- Der set up ticket of delegates to the 18th district convention favo: able to him for renomination. On the other hand, MT Cuihane will make similar efforts.
 Both the democratic and repub- lican organizations will make an effort to iron out the difficulties be. tween the various candidates o1 their respective parties in the in terest of harmony subsequent
