GAMBLING DEVICE
 OWNER PUNISHED

(Con,inued from Page 1.) story of how the sight of the ma chimes, easily visible from the street, had induced them to plan the burglary.
 Youths Sentence Delayed
 The case of the two youths were continued yesterday till this morning after they had related how they had first made plans and then actually completed the burg lary. They were captured by three policemen after chase across South Main street rooftops early Thursday morning. The machines, one of them already broken open, were found wrapped in burlap and placed in coaster wagon in the rear of Groves place at 3S2 South Main street.
 At a juvenile court hearing after regular city court this morning, Judge Mascolo deferred sentence till Sept 5th on Hebert and his l5-year-old companion, who Is legally Hebert's uncle. The date set for sentence is the day that school opens for the fall term here.
 Relatives Warned
 Judge Mascolo warned relatives of the two boys that both of them should be kept off the streets after nightfall. He stressed particularly to Hebert's relatives that the boy must be positively kept out of circulation" after darkness sets Tn.
 Relatives of Hebert said that 1t Is planned to send the boy to schol in Canada in September, and that meanwhile he would be sent to stay with relatives in Quebec. The judge warned the 15-year-old boy that the results of his first criminal offense should show him that a life of crime has no suffi- cient return.
 "I feel that there is still time for both these boys to redeem them selves" declared the judge" and am being lenient because they are both so young and have so much ahead of them in life
 With both boys technically on probation until the date set in Sep tember, it is probable that their cases will be disposed of leniently if they are in no further difficulties with police before that time. The testimony of the two, par ticularly the younger one, at the juvenile hearing yesterday, made 1t plain to authorities that the crime for which the pair were arrested would not have been planned if the lads had not been able to see the machines being played while walking along South Main street, Their testimony of this nature led to the issuance of tho warrant and the subsequent arrest of Grove for possession of the gambling ma- chimes.

sincere hope that Adolf Hitler will be able to pull Germany out of its economic crisis. The sympathy was selfish - based on sober feai that if his internal difficulties be- come too great he may seek flor. eign diversions" to keep his people in order. It was believed that Hit. Ter would necessarily base his for eign policies on the internal situ. ation the better internal condi- tions, the less chance of interna- tional trouble.
 France and other nations were watching the German army also Military experts estimate that the Reichswehr really numbers be. tween 250,000 and 100000 men in stead of it's supposed 100000, and that with a year it will have, by authority of the allied powers, a highly mechanized army of 300,00C all of whose members will be Qual- flied non-commissioned officers ir event of war.
 Here and in London the effect ol the August 19 plebiscite is dis. counted in advance. It is admitted that Hitler will be confirmet overwhelmingly as fuehrer ane Reich chancellor, but it is agreed that the vote will mean nothing Experts hold that whatever the vote, there remains dormant ar opposition which cannot bt ignored.
 As to Hitler's assumption o1 Reichswehr leadership, despite th' oath of loyalty taken by the sol diers, politicians feel that the in fluence of both army men and lant owners over the government hal been increased.

STRAIGHT TRAFFIC IN CENTER TO END
New Block Long Bus Stand Created--POlice
 Board Acts

Abolition of straight traffic in Exchange place, forbidding or parking on North Main street from Exchange place to the north end Of the Mohican store, and the estab- lishment of a full-block long bus stand on East Main street from Phoenix avenue to the center were the three most important traffic rules passed yesterday at a speciat session of the board of police com missioners. The new rulings take effect tomorrow. coincident with the beginning of bus service in- stead of trolleys on the East Main street and Cheshire lines of the Connecticut company.
 The new bus stand will be the largest one in the city and its es- tablishment means the end of the present 15-minute parking on East Main street from Phoenix avenue to a point near the center. With the additional busses, however. it was felt by the board that a con- siderably larger bus stand was needed than the present small one of the east side of the Phoenix avenue cvorner. At the new stand passengers will be discharged from the new East Main street and Cheshire lines, as well as from the Walnut street, Baldwin street and Wolcott lines.
 New parking rules on lower North Main street were establish ed because of the increased traffic that the busses will mean along that portion of the street.

MUSICIANS MAY
 ORGANIZE BAND
fcontinued from Page 1.l

(Continued from Page 1.) the state officer of the union, Ar thur S. Lee, is to establish band, and if a sufficient number of musi- cians is not available in the city, men from neighboring towns may be used. It is thought, however, that the number of idle musicians in Waterbury at this time will be more than enough to fill require ments.
 Each musician who desires re- lief money must sign the blank and file it at EZRA headquarters. Any money made within the $500 allotment will be deducted each week.
 Although the Federation has no control over the EZRA funds, they have been given free rein in the matter of selecting the personnel of the band and it is presumed that only union members will be selected.
 Organized Elsewhere
 Bands in several other cities have been organized and giving weekly concerts since early in July. It is thought that the custom of select ing cities in alphabetical order is responsible for the delay in the in- auguration of the local unit. Li- brary park is expected to be the scene of the concerts, which will probably be given each week until | cooler weather.
 Officers of the local union are Charles Durbin, president; Cosmo Venditti, vice-president; Sherwood Beardslee, secretary; and William Mclean, treasurer. There is also an executive board.

NEW ORLEANS TO
 STOP HUEY LONG
They Are Bound to Have Him Arrested and Jailed
 for Contempt

New Orleans, August 4 - (UP) - Harassed city authorities today were determined to have Senator Huey P. Long arrested and jailed for contempt Of court but couldn't agree on n method of doing 1t.
 National Guard troops remained at Jackson barracks and on guard in the office of the registrar of voters despite court order conl- manding Senator Long and Adju- tant General Raymond Fleming to demobili2e them. Long had been served with the order, but Flcm- ings troops kept the court off cers from even getting near him.
 Mayor T. Semmes Walmsley, lawyers, and city authorities re- convened their conference today to frame the evidence they will pre- sent to Judge Nat Bond Monday to prove the Kingfish should be ar- rested and sent to jail. It was nec- essary to prove that he directed Governor O. K. Allen in seizing the registrars office with the military last Monday night, in mobilizing troops at the barracks, and in fail ing to call off the soldiers and commanded by the court.
 Long told reporters yesterday that he had compiled with the court order by telling Governor Allen to call off the soldiers.
 "He told me to go to he'll" Long said.
 Allen stood next to him, bland, but silent.
 Allen is the elected governor of Louisiana and legally Long has no power. but the Klngfish has issued his orders to him openly, emphatic ally so many times that no one disputes he actually is the governor. Proof sufficient for a legal test, however, seemed to puzzle Walms- ley and his conferees.

Bank Assets Drop
 During Past Month
Affairs of Merchants Trust Co Being Cleared Up; Only

Tribute To Heroic Buddies Paid
 Bremen By Former Waterburian

izatiOn. They're a peace time army engaged i'll a war against one of mans worst enemies. And there's no armisticc for them.
 Waterbury firemen are more than mere payroll servants of municipality. They make it possible for the taxpayers and citizens of our community to rest comfortably at night.
 Lest We Forget" which is taken from a national fire pub Iicution is tribute to all fire men by Lieutenant Thomas F. Wagner, a Bridgeport news- paperman previous to his ap- pOintment to the department, and a former resident of the Brooklyn section of our fair Brass City. It is quoted here:
 'In the midst of our pleas- ures and activities let us pause here a moment to give thought and silent reverence to a charitable and fraternal and noble representations of all fircmen who have fallen in the ranks and gone beyond to the land from whose bourne no traveller returns.
 In Their Memory
 let us recall their names, recollect their lives and open \ the sanctuary of our hearts to the memory of these men who never failed in their devotion to duty, but unselfishly and without thought of their own lives, have valiantly plunged into action that you and your family might be free from the ravagcs of that death dealing demon, FIRE.
 "Stop a while in the midst of your daily work, and con- slider the acts of these men, many of whom have plunged into deadly gases and flames, and eventually have given their lives that you and yours might live.
 Lest We Forget
 'Let it not be said that you have neglected or forgotten the simple heroism of these men, whose everyday life was filled with the utmost peril, and of whomr-it might be said that they looked into the face of death and feared not, that they felt the grip of disaster and did not finch, and that when called upon to make the supreme sacrifice they gave their all, their lives that our safety might be preserved.
 "No poet has sung their praises, no historian has re- counted their deeds, but in our hearts there should ever remain a perpetual monument of love to commemorate the acts and lives of these men,"
 This was written not from his mind. but straight from his heart, to quote Lieutenant Wagner. His fellow, "smoke- eaters" are heroes, and it was with this thought, he com posed that tribute to those who fell in battle.
 There are many battle scared Bridgeport firemen who go unheraldcd, but those who braved the flames with them, never forget.

(Continued from Page 1.) street they will go to Grand, to Leavenworth and thence on tc West Main street.
 Trolleys have been operating regularly for almost exactly 4G years. The first run on that line was made on August 22, 1894. The route to Cheshire and New Haven via Mt Carmel, was begun 10 years later, 1904.
 May Lead to All Lines
 Motorization of the East Main street and Cheshire lines is but an other step in what will eventually lead to bus service as the sole means of public utility transporta- tion along regular lines here. IT the past few years several import ant lines have seen busses supplan' trolleys along their routes, notably Middlebury and Baldwin streets.
 The substitution of busses will undoubtedly speed up traffic along East Main street, while that high way will be considerably better fol motor travel when the street car rails are entirely removed.

| (COntlnueQ rom rage k.p
 the first state convention was held here last fall.
 Local Owners Petition Waterbury's tavern owners will present to the state association for approval and action set of peti- tions to Governor Cross asking for both Liberalization of the liquor laws of Connecticut and for equal rights for taverns and restaurants. It Is no secret that tavernmen are disgruntled at what they term fa- voritism shown to the restaurant and grill owners in the original liquor legislation and in rulings by the state liquor commission since that time.
 The local branch has invited Mayor Frank Hayes, Judge John F. McGrath, Judge Edward Mas colo and number of other prom inent local men to be its guests at the gathering at Walnut Beach to- morrow. Waterbury will have one of the largest representations from the state, and the already large number planning to attend from this city will probably be very ma terially swelled by scores who make last minute reservations.
 Demand More Action When the executive committee gathers during tomorrow's pro- ceedings, it is expected that Wa terburys representatives will de- mand that the state organization be more active in It's fight for lib- eralization of the law and defence of tavern owners. This city's branch has been the only one in the state which has consistently objected to certain changes in liquor law rulings and it was like wise here that the newly started petition was given birth.
 This city's branch has an almost 100 per cent membership, with only a few taverns in the city not listed on its files. Consequently representative from this city will feel that they practically have unanimous backing from Water bury in whatever measures they propose or approve.
 P. J. Reilly of Bridgeport, state organization president, will act us chairman .. the business session. President John Delaney and Sec retary William Sullivan of the Wa terbury branch will both play prominent parts in the proceedings. Among the other Waterbury tav- ernmen who will be active at the session are Chris Harmon, Gerry Mooney, and more than score of | others.
 May Take Aggresser | One major feature of the day will be the state organizations att tempt to win the approval of all individual units in it's plan to take the aggressive before the political campaigns are really well-under- way. With modification of the laws so as to allow drinking of strong liquor at bars as its main aim, the association is confident that 1t controls enough votes to re- ceive favorable overtures from both major parties.
 It seerfls probable at this time that the tavernmen will refrain from casting their lot definitely with either republicans or demo- crats until well after the party platforms have been adopted at the coming state conventions. Early this morning President John Delaney of the Waterbury group received a wire from Lieu tenant Governor Roy Wilcox that he will be present at the gather ing. Other high state officials will also be in attendance.

They Take H By
 The Barrel Now

"YO ho and a barrel of beer" might be an appropriate slogan for three mellow souls who were arrested last night us they were raising their voices in convivial song as they attempted to roll keg of ale up the steps to the ver- ando of a West Main street apartment house.
 Their songs and their bar rel rolling were interrupted by the arrival of the three police- men, who rudcly placed the trio under arrest, after it was found that the beer had been apparently secured by break ing into place at 459 West Main street.
 PatrOlman James Sammon was trying the door at 459 West Main street when he saw the three happy gentlemen seated on the running board of a car in front of the place. The door was secure, so the pa- trolmah went his way.
 \ few minutes later he heard the burst of song and went back to find the men with the keg of beer. He also discovered that the place near by which he had just tried had been broken into.
 Accompanied by Patrolman Caffrey and Dinardo, he ar. rested the three. The mcm- bers of the male trio had their cases continued in city court this morning.
