IDEAL WEATHER
 | FOR DOLLAR DAY
Shoppers Out in Large Numbers, Stores Doing
 Rushing Business

A warm sun chased the cold waves from Waterbury to-day and made ideal conditions for the shoppers who came to town for the Dollar Day bargains in the stores. Merchants were quite pleased with the turnout of the shoppers and reported asurprisingly large num- Der of sales.
 Leading merchants of the city, cooperating with the Merchants Bureau of the Chamber of Con- merce sponsored to-day's Dollar Day sales. From early this morn ing when the cloudy skies began to clear until late this afternoon a continuous stream of shoppers piled
 in and out of the cooperating
 stores.
 Many expressions of surprise were heard from the shoppers who
 were not prepared for the many
 bargains of unusual value that were placed on the counters of the stores for the benefit of the GUS. ! toners. Needless to say the dol.
 lars that were spent brought back
 many dollars worth of goods in re- turn.

MARTIN INSULL
 IN DANGER AGAIN
Man Now Out Under Heavy Bonds May Be Re-
 arrested

Toronto, Ont, Feb. 15-(UP)- Plans to re-arrest Martin J. Insult, fugitive Chicago utility magnate, on new charges, were it was un- derstood, being made today. Insull Is now at liberty on $30,000 bail pending the decision of the appeal court of Ontario on his appeal last month to prevent his extradition. No date has yet been set for the handling down of the decision.
 Since the sudden death of B. w. Bayly K. C., deputy attorney gen. eral of Ontario, who was acting for Cooks county, the case has been turned over to the United States consulate here, and Is being handled by Damon c. Woods, vice. consul.
 Last week, Woods, made an un- successful attempt to have Insult arrested on 8 federal banking charge, but the presiding judge ruled that Woods, not being a member of the Ontario Bar asso- citation, was not entitled to act in Ontario courts.
 It was understood here that Cooks county authorities are seek ing to re-arrest the former mill lionaire, in order to have grounds for further extradition proceedings in case Insull wins his appeal.

(By United Press)

Washington, February 15 t- (UP) - The recovery administra- ton seems to be going Park ave- nue, and the Blue Eagle high-hat. Deputy administrators and clerks who were working 16 hours a day
 on steel codes and such six months ago now are taking time for whirls
 in the Capitals far-famed society. Tea dates and Cocktail parties
 are assuming increasing import ance among the MIRA chieftains.
 Tail-coated and high-hatted ex- ponents of the new deal in busi- ness are seen almost every evening in smart hotels and night clubs. Even Miss Frances Robinson. the $5.800 a year administrative
 assistant to General Hugh s. John- son, has found time to turn her talents to a series of radio speeches featuring women's place in the
 recovery drive.
 Mrs Mary Hartman Rumsey,
 socialite chairman of the MIRA con-
 sumers advisory board, announces
 a Soiree this week with MIRA of- ficials leading the guest list. Here industrial and labor leaders will mingle with junior leaguers in honor of Lucretia Bori, Metropoli-
 tan opera star.
 The general let-down in blue
 eagle frenzy since the tumultous
 days of last summer Is best re- flected in the manner and temper
 of Gen. Johnson himself.
 He is noticeably milder. His
 sporadic attacks on "dead cats"
 and "chiselers" are fewer.

Free Lynchers
OF Negro Boy
In Mississippi

BOLTON, Miss, July 25.-Four
white men who lynched a young
Negro laborer, John Sanders, on
the afternoon of July Is, were
quickly exonerated and freed by
Justice of the Peace Mason Bird
song, after having been placed I'M
der technical arrest" by District
Attorney Hugh Gillespie. The dis
trict attorney made no attempt to
prosecute the lynch-murderers.
Sanders body was riddIed with
bullets fired by c. D. Lancaster
and John Lancaster, according to
their own statement made in the
nature of a boast rather than a
confession. THE two men claim
that, together with their kinsmen,
Walter Lancaster and his son, they
rescued" the murdered worker
from an armed mob and took him
into the woods to question" him
concerning a letter allegedly writ
ten by Sanders to a Kinds County
white girl. Sanders, they say, at
tempted to escape, and they shot
him down.
In generating the murderers, the
local authorities upheld the chau-
whist principle, prevalent among
the Southern white ruling class,
that the Negro masses have no
rights that a white boss is bound
to respect, and that any of the
best white people" can at any
time undertake punitive measures"
against members of this oppressed
nation.

families and herds.
Roosevelt can be energetic and
efficient only in building battle
ships and poison gas in a two and
half billion dollar program. His
capitalist loyalty to profit, his cap
itslist defense of big capital for
ever doom him to futility and in
adequacy in defending the welfare
of the majority Of the population.
A Soviet government Of workers
and farmers could Immediately
mobilize the resources of the coun-
try for the struggle against the

Under such government there
would be ne question of defending
Wall Street investments, big land
lords boarding fodder, or encroach-
ing on the private lands of wealthy
landowners. All this would be
swept aside in the drive to protect
the majority farm population, the

farmers.
Now the fight must be for the
enactment of the measures en-
bodied in the Farmers Emergency
Relief Bill proposed by the Com

relief, for distribution of fodder

enemies, the drought and Roosevelt
