American Brass Co.
 Filed Quit Claim Deeds
Action Speeds Up ThomastOn Paving Project
 PWA to Finance Work

Quit claim deeds, involving i've pieces of property, were filed today in the office of Town Clerk Dora A. Egan by the American Brass Company as a further step in speeding up the Thomaston avenue paving project. The work is to be financed by the PWA. and will be under the direction of the state highway department and the fed- eral highway bureau.
 With the spring weather fast approaching, the work on the highway will be started soon. A few weeks ago the city deeded back to the American Brass Com pany certain property on the Thomaston avenue route so as to allow the latter concern to turn the land needed for the layout over to the state.
 Today's quit claim deeds were from the American Brass Company to the State of Connecticut. Two of them involved property at the corner of West Main street and Thomaston avenue. A third con- cerned property at the intersection of Thomaston avenue and the Wa tertown- -Winsted branches of the New Haven road. The fourth piece involved is located 2,00O feet north of the overhead bridge of the New Haven road on Thomaston avenue.
 The fifth piece of property in the deal was mentioned in a separ- ate quit claim deed. It is located on the westerly side of Thomaston avenue at Hancock Brook, ESQ called"
 John A. Coe, president of the American Brass Company, and Joseph Wilhelm, in charge of the real estate division of the concern, were among the signers of the quit claim deeds.

ARTHUR JONES IS
 STILL WITH PALS
Negro Has Until Saturday to Board Boat for
 West Indies

It may be that spring is in the air or it may be that boat fare to the West Indies is a bit high-but Arthur Jones is back in town once more after having bid the city, es- pecially the police, q fond farewell.
 Arthur, a negro, was last week given until this Saturday at II q. m. to take his leave of Abbott ave- nue and Waterbury. Yesterday he was reported to have started for the West Indies "where colored boys dive for quarters" even bringing his bag into the detective bureau as he paid his last respects.
 This morning reporters saw re- splendently garbed figure strolling through the city hall. Sure enough, it was Arthur. but he disappeared before he could be interviewed.
 Saturday is still a few days away, but woe unto Arthur if he is in town at II o'clock that day. Instead of the West Indies he will then be given trip to New Haven county jail where he can, muse over his troubles for six months.

Death Chair Haunts
 Man After 20 Years
Former Oklahoma Governor, Designer of Death Seat,
 Wishes He Never Had Invented It

ing his short term as governor, some charging he had turned loose dozen and scores of hardened criminals on society.
 "Id like to be shown an execu- tive whose confidence and trust was never violated" he asserted in his defense. ,
 Walton refused to reveal what his attitude would be toward the sinister piece of furniture he de- vised, should his comeback cam paign prove successful, and after II years of trycp; political strife, he be elevated once more to the Oklahoma governorship. My rec ord speaks on that" he said, in- dicating he would prefer again to save men from the machine of his own design.
 Walton also served as general construction engineer and locomo- tive engineer and conductor on Mexican trains. He is now @ mem- Der of the state corporation com mission,

/ FNlANM United Press Staff Correspondent
 Oklahoma City (UP).-The grim shadow of Q chair J. c. (Iron Jack) Walton designed 20 years ago fre- quently rises to haunt him, the former governor of Oklahoma has revealed.
 "Ive often wished I'd never de- signed it," said Walton, who has been locomotive engineer, con- sulting engineer and holder of several offices in bis colorful ca- reer.
 The chair is in the state peni- tentiary at McAlester-an electric chair-and some 40-odd men al- ready have gone to death in it. But none went during .the design CTS term as governor, the office for which he nok is staigng a comeback" election campaign.
 Designed in 1914
 Walton planned and designed the electric chair in 1914, under Gov. Leo Cruce, though he never had seen one. At that time, the fu- ture governor was consulting engi- neer on state projects, and was called in.
 Tt was easy" he said. "It is the amperage which kills. One-eighth ampere Is enough to kill. The main thing is in figuring out your amperdge and designing the con trol units, arranging the rheostats to provide enough resistance and develop the amperage."
 Before Walton was impeached q scant 10 months after taking office as governor, he was forced to in- tervene to save at least five men from the piece of furniture he had devised.

MURAL DEPICTS
 LIFE ON FARM
Gilbert White Painting to Be Placed in Agricul-
 tnre Building

Paris (UP).-The Gilbert White mural, destined for the Depart ment of Agriculture building in Washington, D. C., probably will bring about rush to the country by city folk, so adroitly does 1t de- pict the pleasure and beauties of rural life.
 Far from the turmoil and strife of the great cities, White paints with ease and skill the virtues of the fields. His previous paintings already adorn public buildings in Oklahoma, Utah and Kentucky, and the agricultural landscape he has just completed for Washington may be counted upon to evoke none but the happiest of senti- ments.
 Cybele, the Good Earth, Po- mona, the Goddess of Gardens, Ceres, the custodian of the crops, Flora, the Flower priestess, Pan with his flute, the children of earth, and the Father of Wisrom all are ably portrayed by White in such way as to give the most hardened city cynic an acute nostaglia for country life.
 The canvas is 13 feet by 3S and the four female allegorical figures arc distributed evenly about the painting, Pan seated at the feet of Flora, 0 man with plough. a hunter, an aged woman spinning, young maiden crushing the juice from grapes, and barnyard animals wandering about.
 The Man of Wisdom takes rather a central position in the painting and flocfs are outlined faintly in the distance.
 White is 6 native of Oklahoma. He expects to superintend the placing of the mural in the Agri- cultural building in Washington.

Omaha, Neb. (UP).-Despite their evident pride In the new steamlined, aero-dynamic, Deisel engine powered, revolutionary type passenge train, most old-time Western railroad men still believe that steam is the best locomotion.

Union Pacific. "This Is nothing. You should have been aboard when we sent that silk train over my line 197 miles in 166 minutes. We got better than no on all the straight stretches during that run.
 Why on some of the Eastern roads, 11O miles isn't considered anything at all. These gasoline and distillate burning things are all right, but they can't compare with steam for real speed"
 All were forced to agree that none of the riding comforts such as they were enjoying went with steam trains eXcrtcd to the limit.
