They are accused of being fugitives from justice. A bench warrant charg- ing them with perjury is the in- formation upon which they will be arraigned.
 County Detective Roland c. filling of the office of States At torney Lawrence l.. Lewis and Lieutenant Joseph P. Stevens of the detective bureau arrested the couple last night after a clever bit of sleuthing. They received in- formation here that the couple was in Albany and the hurried trip was made yesterday afternoon to the New York capital.
 The local detectives with the aid of Albany officers made thorough but fruitless search for the couple last night but did not succeed in making the arrest until this morn ing. The local officers heard Big. ger was working In a fish fertiliz- ing plant, so they planted them selves outside the company gate early this morning.
 When Bigger appeared he evinc- ed no surprise at sight of the off, cers and unhesitatingly led the police to the apartment where his companoin made her home.

 Authorities

Boston, Jan 24-(UP)-Stricter discipline and better armed guards at Norfolk prison colony, and abandonment of Charlestown state prison, have been recommended to Governor. Ely by w. Cameron Forbes, former U. s. ambassador to Japan, after an investigation of Massachusetts penal conditions.
 Forbes, who was selected to make the inquiry because of his sound psychological system in the. Philippines while he was governor general, also advocated more dras- tic punishment for regulations vio- Iators at Norfolk and greater barbed-wire protection against es- cape.
 After a better organization has been effected at the colony, Forbes believes, Charlestown prison should be abolished and a new punitive institution established adjoining the colony. Both the colony ana the new prison would be under one road.

 St Paul, Jan 24--t uP)--An at- tempted delivery of $200,000 ran some for the release of Edward Bremen, 36, kidnapped banker, was believed to have failed today when two automobiles containing mem bers of the abduction gang fol- lowed the wrong automobile.
 The kidnapers and their victim were believed to have been in two automobiles which bottled up the automobile driven by Harry Bach man, St Paul businessmen, near iIinckley, Minn, last night.

 The two 1nysteriously acting au- tomobiles were jockeyed back and forth alongside Bachman's car. The latter was mystified by these attentions. After 15 minutes of such maneuvering one of the sedans edged Bachman toward the side of the road and several shots were fired in the air.
 While Bachman remained at the wheel of his car, the two automo- bile loads of men surveyed him

Fire Marshal
Says Local Tavern
 Order Is Contrary
 To City Fire Code
Kept Closed Lahey Contends Board Responsible For Any Serious Results in Case of Fire

contends that iteis contrary to law and holds the commission respons- ible for any, ,gerious results in event of fire. #
 Chairman Frank s. Bergin of the liquor commission in acknowledg. ing the fire fnarshaPs protest holds his board as a purely administra- tive body and puts the proposition up to Corporation Counsel Charles s. O'Connor or his assistant, Attor- ney Timothy Sullivan.
 Fire Marshal Lahey's letter ex- plains the situation Tn 0 most iii- teresting manner. His communica- ton reads asr follows:
 The State Liquor Control Board.
 Hartford, Conn.
 Re; 1647 East Main street. Gentlemen: el
 We understand that you have is- sued an order to one George Lauria, the owner of 6 so-called tavern, Rs described under the state law, to mail and keep closed" the rear door of this institution, under the pain of action by you men, con- stituting the state board. Of course we know you act, as we take it., under the terms of the law, as pass ed at the last session of the Gen. eral Assembly, and noted lawyers that at least two of you are, we also take it that such action would not violate any fire code or power vest ed in the municipality by the same authority which granted or passed the so-called control act,
 But here in Waterbury this off, flee, the office of the fire marshal, would like to know if you will as- sume full authority for such an or- der, in case fire breaks out in the front of the establishment, and holds whatever occupants are there to the mercy of the flames, by req son of a closed exit in the rear, and upon order of your honorable This city does not allow such a condition, that is, the office of the fire marshal does not permit such & situation, insofar as it's power goes. but if you claim the legal right, because after all, we of this office, are only common ordinary laymen, and therefore bow most gracefully to legal minds of a great institution, like the state liquor control board.
 {, If you insist. upon such an order being put into effect, we desire to inform you that you endanger every patron of the place in ques- ton, and similar other places. So we write in advance, .;as a matter of evidence of projection for this office in any defense which we might be called upon to produce should a fatal fire occur because of the lack of proper exits in this or any other tavern within the limits of the City of Waterbury.
 The Fire Marshal of Waterbury,
 Lahey by Name.

 From the outside, the whole atmosphere of the home is given through the windows, day and night.

observers, after studying Mr. Yawkey's
new Red Sox with care, began to hint
that it wasn't such a ball club after
all. Nice pitching, sure. and a few
hitters, but what was Mr. Yawkey
going to use for an infield? And
the Browns were feeble, and the In
dians were fighting among them
selves like a congressional committee,
and the AS were shot to pieces, and
the White Sox weren't going to win
any pennants just because of Earn
shaw, and the Tigers were pretty
fair, but nothing more.
The gist of all this comment was
that the Yanks and the Senators
would be up there exploring the
stratosphere again and the rest of the
clubs would be following their move
mentS with telescopes. Last year, you
remember, Washington and New York
finished with averages of 651 and
GOT, respectively. The next best thing
was Connie Mack's third place figure
of .523.
Hades began to pop as soon as the
American League magnates threw
open their doors to the public
that is, from the point of view
of the Yanks and Senators. Prob
ably the most startling development
of the first lap in the race was Bos-
tons double killing against Wash
ington on Patriots day. 1t was ac-
complished without the use of mir
rors or Robert M. Grove. The Red
Spats hit the ball all over their new

themselves. The public suspected as
much last December, but there has
been so much talk since then about
the prowess of the Yanks and the
Cronin cannoneers that the public be-
gan to scratch its head. The public
can now remove the finger from the
scalp. 1t was right in the first place.
The rise of the six downtrodden ball
clubs in the American League is the
result largely of improved artillery.
Young hitters have been coming along
who can match the Yanks and the
Senators in the matter of mayhem.
The AS have a collection of verv
lovely hitters. The White SoX have
new powder-keg in the person zeke
Bonura. and Mr.. Yawkey seems to be
fortunate in the possession of Julius
Solters. Life is becoming a tougher
proposition every day for the Gomezes
and Whitehills of this country.
