HARDING MARKED
 LONERCAN'S DESK
Former Presidents Ina
 scriptiOn Found in In-
 teriOr of Drawer

Washington, D. C., Jan 20-Sen- ate traditions, carefully preserved, including the use of ancient snuff boxes no longer in demand, and special sand which no longer blots the ink from the pen of statesmen, have nevertheless revealed some interesting information to Senator Lonergan, demo, Connecticut.
 Learning recently that among other traditions it has been cus- tomary for each senator to write his name on the interior of the drawer of his desk in the Senate kchamber, Senator Lonergan be- came interested and upon opening his desk found there inscribed the name of the late Warren G. Hard! Eing," former president and senator from Ohio.
 Other names of prominence, ir- cluding some senators still active on the floor, were also found in the desk drawer by Senator Lonergan, many of them republicans. The large representation by democrats in the Senate has made 1t necessary for many of them to use desks usually assigned to republicans. More people in Mexico are buy- ing shoes than at any time in the past year.

CWA projects in Waterbury were at standstill today as a re- suit of the order issued yesterday from Washington by National Ad- ministrator Harry l.. Hopkins cut ting down the weekly hour basis from 30 to 24 hours. The order concerned the entire country and became necessary due to the fact that CWA funds are quickly di- minishing. A week ago today the Democrat carried the information that the funds would be exhausted by February list. Administrator Hopkins is seeking to avoid this and keep the CWA work going by cutting down the number of hours. Tn this way the present funds will last until about February 18th.
 Mayor Frank Hayes and other municipal officials throughout Con- necticut are now urging congress to supply the additional $350,OO0,- 900 CWA money that President Roosevelt is asking for. If the money IS appropriated, and there | Is every reason to feel sure that 1t

Forty thousand personal tax bills are now being prepared for mail- ing from the City Hall. Personal Tax Collector Attorney George Stokes stated to-day that the work of preparing the bills will be com- pleted within the next two weeks. The first batch of bills will be placed in the mails very quickly.
 The 10000 personal tax bills, If all paid, would bring into the city treasury a total of $80,000. How ever, this amount is never taken in during the course of a year due to removals, deaths, changes of ad- dress and so forth.
 The budget for 1894 only sets up an estimated income from person. al tax collections of $45,000. There- fore, if 22,000 of those receiving bills settle up the estimate in the budget will be balanced practically.
 However, 1t is estimated that the

IO'NELL'SPLAY TO | BE SERMON THEME
Rev Moses K. Lowell to Preach Tomorrow on
 Days Without End

Eugene o'Neill, Americas fore most playwright, has at the present time three plays appearing on Broadway-two on the legitimate stage and one in movies. His last play which now has only been playing for some two or three weeks-"Days Without End" is probably one of the best that he has ever produced. Rev Moses R. Lowell will preach a sermon Sun day morning at the Second Con- gregational church at 10:30 a. m. suggest. by his recent witnessing of this great drama.
 Eugene O'Neill stands pre-em- inent among the dramatists of the world. The originality and the in- tegrity he brought to the American of dignity and rich experience. His service to the theater of the read er's imagination is even more note- succession of plays which are read ever-growing public.
 Critics speak as follows of the play: "In what will become the AANoS SOASA ONOA 0AeSA PAoy AAO AAeSo WI written, Eugene O'Nein achieves in Days Without End" not only a profoundly moving drama of re- ligious faith, but also a psycholog- ical study as penetrating as it is convincing. Bold and modern in theme and treatment, it captures an ecstatic mood and compels readers of every shade of religious experience and conviction to @ new consideration of their own spirit ual values.
 As a contribution to the dramat- ic literature of our troubled times when men seek gropingly amid conflicting doctrines for faith and solace, this drama, which he calls modern miracle play, will add tc Eugene O'Neill's stature and con- firm his position as the foremost dramatist of the world. It vii create @ host of new followers and will stir up violent partisan dis. putes. Days Without End" vii leave no one cold and unmoved.

will be, CWA activities can be con tinued until about the middle of April. This will carry people over the winter months.
 Following National Administra- tor Hopkins order yesterday all purchases of materials and sup plies, locally, ceased. The order passed yesterday cutting the num- Der of hours that CWA employees could work left Waterbury in a l better position than some of the surrounding towns.
 A total of 24 hours week | ly, is permitted in towns of 2,50O inhabitants or more. In
 towns under 2,500 in population
 only 15 hours, weekly, are per
 mitted.
 It was stated today that no more
 persons will be hired for the CWA
 until the present problem of fi- nances is cleared up. There are still about 150 places open on the local quota but the Hopkins order stop ping hiring of any more persons will prevent Administrator Will liam M. Harris or Director Arthur
 Maloney from filling any more | jobs.
 Throughout the country yester- day afternoon and today protests
 were made against the Hopkins order. However, the latter explain ed, the curtailment is necessary
 until congress acts on the proposal
 to appropriate $350,000,000 addi- | tional for CWA activities. State Aviation Commissioner Charles Morris declared last night
 that the cutting down in the hours
 that CWA employees can work is
 going to greatly hamper the air
 port construction plans in Connec.

 United States Senator F. c. Wal

Attorney Charles R. Hamilton, of New Haven, today filed notice of an appeal to the supreme court of errors from the $9,927 judg- ment in favor of Mascolo, Me- Knight & Dauch, against the es- tate of James Gizzi. MT. Hamilton who appeared for the defendant has several more days in which to file the reasons for appeal. The case was tried in superior court here. The law firm sued to recover for services rendered in the defense of Gizzi, who was charged with first degree murder. After several days trial, Judge Newell Jennings handed down a lengthy verdict in which he found the plaintiff law firm was entitled to $10,O00 but there was no book keeping record of about $1,1OO which was claimed to have been expended during the course of the trial.
 Judge Jennings made it very clear that the plaintiff law firm

income from personal taxes will be practically up to $60,000 and some
 what beyond this figure, possibly. A very hard drive will be made this year to collect personal taxes in view of the fact that drastic
 steps have been taken to get in de- linquent real estate and personal property taxes. Therefore, it was
 said to-day, the personal tax office
 will peruse the lists closely and in-
 stitute immediate proceedings to
 make delinquents "settle up" as soon as the dead line on paying has
 been passed.
 The bills are payable during
 February. In March a penalty of
 $1 will be taken in, in accordance
 with tn. state statutes. The pen alties so collected do not go into the city treasury but are forwarded o the state in view of the fact that ! the personal tax law is state sat- ! ue rather than a local ordinance.

It was this which gave birth to the Liars
Club. Manuel Hahn and I, both newspaper
reporters and working on opposition papers,
"made" the police station couple OF times
daily and we formed an appreciative audience
for the high-powered yarns which Chief Beler
and his cronieS used to spin about their fishing
and hunting trips.
The result was a story quite without founda-
ton in fact, that each year the chief and ms
nails got together on New Year day and lied
for the championship of Burlington. That was
back in 1929, and since that time the story has
grown like lucky doughboy'S two bits in an
Army crap game.

ciation began calling to find out If con-
