The national income from

On the surface it looks like 9

TURTLE To BE.
THEFT-PROOF !

Believe it or not" but the
board of regents at the Univer-
sity Of Maryland is looking for
a burglar alarm for turtle.
Naturally, it is no ordinary
turtle to warrant a burglar alarm,
but then this one, Bishop"
weighs 600 pounds. In another fea-
ture he is no ordinary turtle,
either. He is made Of metal.
Bishop should sit out on the
campus on a stone pedestal. But
several weeks ago some Johns
Hopkins students decided that
Bishop" would look fine in some
body's dormitory room and pried
him loose, Bishop" was re-
turned the next day by Johns
Hopkins officials.
Since then, the famous turtle
has been in hiding. Yesterday
school officials began studying
how he was to be placed back on
his pedestal so that he could not
be pried loose. Today Bishop"
may be back in place, but if the
board Of regents has its way he
will have an individual burglar
alarm on him for his own pro-
lection.

DAD
MAKES CHARGE
= Of .SWINDLE

: MOORESVILLE, Ind, June %
NN.S0.-John w. Dillinger, re-
spected Quaker father Of Amer
1ca's public enemy No. l, revealed
here today that an attempt had
been made to swindle him out of
his 60-acre farm to pay an alleged
$500 medical bill for his son to
insure further medical treatment
for the fugitive.
The attempt, according to the
elder Dillinger, was made on June
IT and 10, about a week after the
outlaws father received a letter
from his son informing him he
was alive and well. Said the
father today:
"A stranger, fairly we'll
dressed, about so years old,
came here on foot from town
and told me he had been sent
by Johnny. The stranger said:
Johnny is in a bad way. He's
got to have continued medical
attention but owes the doctor
n bill Of $1,000 now. The doc
tor won't treat him further I'M
less he is paid immediately"
The senior Dillinger was pick
ing raspberrieS in patch on his
farm here as he related the in
cident. Wiping his face with a
faded blue handkerchief, while
small, bright aluminium kettle
half filled with berries hung from
the crook of his elbow, he went
on:
''I told the fellow I didn't
know him. He said If / doubted
! his word he could take me to
John. The fellow pretended to
be afraid of Federal men and
kept looking around all the
time. 1 told him / couldn't
raise the money unless sold
or mOrtgaged my farm. The
man then left"

ROTARIANS HEAR
 CLUB DIRECTOR
Louis Fitch Urges Support to Set Up Small Claims
 Court Locally

Members of the Rotary Club we're urged to lend their support toNthe movement to establish a small claims court in Waterbury, by Louis Fitch at an open meet ing held to-day at the Elton. Ac- cording to MT Fitch there will be . s'small but organized opposition, " tosthe court, at the hearing to be held Monday night in the alder manic chambers.
 A communication read at the meeting from an official of a Wa terbury organization, the name of which was withheld expressed dis satisfaction with the small claims court proposal on the grounds that it gives ''too much latitude to col lection agencies to practice law"
 Mir Fitch said that although there had ben a whispering cam pa6gn' against the movement here, it was his belief that 9S per cent of the members of the bar in this city were in favor of the institu- tion of the court. He related sev- eral cases where such court would, in his opinion, have been valuable and said that the court was the "only natural outlet for cases of this kind"
 Announcement was made of a lecture to be given next Tuesday night at S:15 o'clock at the Wa terbury Women's Club, when Up- ton Close will discuss Japan, Rus sia, and America" MT Close has been a special investigator of the ASiatic situation as an agent of the United States government.

LEADER BURNS UP
 OVER ACCUSATIONS

Charles Campbell, communist or ganizer, not only escaped dunk ing in the swamp adjoining the Park road construction when work CTS objected to his methods of ap- proach last week, but narrowly missed being cooked previous to his immersion, Mutual Aid officials said today.
 MT Campbell made vigorous denial in city court yesterday of the report of the episode published Thursday in which it was said the men threatened to escort him to the swamp unless he saw the error of his ways. He said further that $50 per cent of the workmen on the job," were members of his or ganization.
 According to several of the men present when MT Campbelrs flight into the higher spheres of oratory was so rudely grounded, several handbills which he held behind him during his address were ig- nited with a match by someone in a playful mood.
 Considering MT Campbell's asser- ton that most of the boys present were "brothers in that great frater- nity," one of the men said today, 1 the whole procedure may have
 been just part of an installation | ceremony,

 TRIP RECALLED

St. Louis-CUP)-Roy Knabe- shue, Washington, D. C., here to receice an engraved plaque com memorating his achievement sf being the first man to successfully pilot a dirible in this country at the Worlds Fair here in 1904, has stopped flying, and at the request of President Roosevelt, he related as he recalled his historic flight.
 "I quit flying because President Roosevelt told me I was too old and I'd better stop. He is an old friend of mine met him while trying to sell him a dirigible when he was Assistant Secretary of the Navy" Knabeshue said.
 "My flying that dirigible the first time was somewhat accident a1," he related, was here from Toledo operating captive balloon when Capt. Thomas Baldwin, wfo has built the ship in California, asked me to go into partnership with him ad try to fly it around three mile course at the Worlds Fair grounds.
 "I accepted. so he had it shipped here. We assembled the thing and installed a Curtis motorcycle motor. It wouldn't lift Tom's 220 pounds and we decided as I carrie6 only 120 pounds, I should try 1t. "We put the sausage on two sawhorses to keep the propeller off the ground and started the motor, It shook so I could hardly hid on and just as I was about to yell hold it. Tom ordered let her go.'
 "I just missed the Brazilian building. finally got over the Ferris | wheel, and was cruising along all right when .he motor died. It was a free balloon flight from there on out. I landed somewhere in Tlli- fornia's fair was 459,SS1.

His detention this nor ming. according to police, climaxed three days of queer behavior on his part. On Sunday, 1t was learned today, he had to be led from q church in the center of the city when he attended a service wear ing straw hat and attempting to drink liquor from a bottle.
 In his pockets were found six shotgun shells, and a notebook itemizing, apparently, money he has made and spent. He claims that he is employed by the state highway department. The name he gave is not listed in the direc- tory, while the address he gave one on Starview avenue, is not listed as his.
 When taken into custody, he was wearing brown leather puttees brown trousers, a sweat shirt, and a gray cap. Efforts to find reltaives up to press time had proven futile,

STUDENTS WANT
 MORE FREEDOM

San Francisco, Cal.-UP)- Sixty-seven years observation of educational trends in America have led Rev. Allen Manderville Elston to the conclusion that pres ent-day college and university students want only good time from their school careers.
 Rev. Elston, who will be 90 on Christmas Day, recently was noti- fled by officials of the University of Missouri, the oldest university west of the Mississippi River, that he is the institution's oldest living alumnus.
 The pastor graduated from the University of Missouri with the class of 1867.
 Looking back over a span of 67 years. Rev. Elston observed:
 Tn my day, young people went to college to study-now they seem to want only good time"
 Union soldiers were quartered on the university campus and Gen eral Prentiss maintained his head quarters there when Rev. Elston entered as a freshman. Glasses could not be held in some build ings because they were in use as military prisons.
 Rev. Elston was ordained for the ministry at the University of Ken. lucky. came to California in 1871 and has six children and 10 grandchildren. Four of the latter now are students at the University of California.

YOUTHS RUN AWAY FROM INSTITUTION

It looks very much as if Joseph Delgarbo and William Grenier, two 1S-year olds, like to wander much more than staying at the Chil- dren's Community Center in Ham den, where they're supposed to stay.
 Last night, they ran aRay again. and so far they haven't been found. Police, however, know that the boys will turn up somewhere in the city and expressed no worries over them to-day, for it's the third time that Joseph and William have fled from the Hamden institution.
 One night lasht winter they were found huddled in a blanket near St Mary's hospital early one morn- ing and returned to Hamden. Then just few months later they turned up in Waterbury on bicycles, on which they had made the trip from Hamden.
