NO ONE TO BLAME. An African
Adventure. BY Margaret Carson
Hubbard. New York: Minton,
Balch e. Co.
II blame must always be allotted
for misfortunes and sufferings. and
blaming seems to help some people
marvelously, the romantic, foolhardy
spirit of youth must be blamed for all
that was unpleasant in Mrs Hub
bard's African adventure. She and
her husband, with small boy year
old. reached Mali Farm, in Northern
Rhodesia, in October the hottest
month of the year. Their purpose was
to experiment with a wild animal
farm, where they would raise animals
for ZOOS take motion pictures and do
a little probing of animal psychology.
Quebec had been their last home and
she felt sure that the African climate
could be no worse for babies than the
frigid one into which her delicate
Davy had been born. At Mali Farm
they were miles from Tara Siding.
through which the Congo train went
three times a week. In case OF
great need, of a doctor for instance,
they could walk the miles. to a tele-
phone on a pole beside the tracks, and
get a call to Livingston to send wire
on somewhere else. If we wanted
doctor he could reach our railroad
siding in another II or Is hours at
best" Under the circumstances. it
is not surprising that her second child
was born. three days after her arri-
val at the farm. without the attend
ance of a doctor, and incidentally in
a mud hut with a thatched grass roof.
All sorts of arrows of outrageous
fortune struck the young couple, OF
which repeated illnesses were the
worst, but Mrs. Hubbard's courage
never left her in the lurch. Their
experiences with animals were the
happy part of the adventure. After
three years they were back in New
York with empty pockets, and as the
last blow found that the film they
had brought home was all out OF
focus. But Africa had ensnared them
and they have gone back to the veldt
to get another and good picture.
Youth cannot live without illusions,
Mrs. Hubbard thinks, and there Is
witchcraft in the bush.

DRUGGISTS ARE IN NEW BATTLE
 ABOUT LIQUORS
Package Stores to Bring Them Into Court on
 Recent Ruling

Hartford, Conn.,, March 12.- (CP) Package store owners in the state today were prepared to seek a federal injunction and a special legislature session to pre- vent the sale of liquor by druggists.
 The Connecticut Package Store Association. Inc, was formed here Sunday and Attorney Thomas J. Spellacy, Hartford. retained to bring action in the federal court. It also was voted to make formal demand upon Governor Wilbur l.. Cross to summon a special session of the general assembly to remedy alleg- ed discriminatory sections of the liquor control act which Spcllacy declared Twas hastily gotten to- gether and a hodgepodge.'
 Spellacy attacked the law as permitting local option in towns but excepting druggists from the effect of the vote. Druggists, he said, also were favored in not be- ing restricted to the sale of liquor in certain localities and were per- mitted to make sales after the 6 o'clock closing hour of package stores.
 A special session has been de- manded by hotel men on grounds the law does not restrict the. sale of liquor on the part of permit holders. A test case now is before the supreme court.
 The association elected S. H.. Kaplan, Hartford. president. Other officers are W. J. Haywood, New Haven first vice. president; J. R..

POLICE PERFORM TASKS PARENTS
 SHOULD ASSUME
So Judge McGrath Said in Filming Youth Who Had
 Hit Policeman

"The police are only now doing what parents should have done years ago." said Judge John r. Me- Grath in city court today as he fined two youths on charges of breach of the peace and resisting an officer and refused to admit that one of the pair had been struck by a policeman's blackjack without provocation.
 The two youths, Joseph Ma rino. 20, and Joseph Pagone, 19. both of Railroad Hill street, were arrested by Thomas Bowling, sup- ernumerary policeman in a dance hall on East Main street Saturday night. During the melee, Pagone was struck by Dowling's blackjack and it took three stitches to close a wound in his head.
 Attorney Joseph Guilfoile, de- lending Marine and Pagone, claimed that the latter was struck before he was under arrest and hence 1t was unjustified. What will it Head to, your honor," he asked, If policemen strike without real reason?"
 Bowling testified that he was asked by the owner of the dance hall, to tell the youths to leave sine they were causing trouble. He said that Pagone refused to do so

Warden James Holohan said E. A, McNab, a San Francisco felons was the ringleader. He said McNab shot and killed John H. Arbuckle. another convict, apparently because Arbuckle got in his way.
 McNab's companions were Will- jam Eagley and Lewis H. Downs, purported members of McNab's gang before their imprisonment.
 The three were performing routine tasks in the electric shop when suddenly they brandished crude pistols, lined up the others present, then calmly bound Guard Fred H. Miller and several convicts who objected. It was at this june ture that Arbuckle was shot.
 McNab disrobed Miller, donned his uniform and then, concealed by dense fog, fled from the elec- tric shop to the wall.
 McNab yelled to Guard E. L.. Williamson who was posted on the wall. The convicts opened fire and Williamson fired back. The shots brought Guards Fred Hogeboom, captain of the Jute Mill; Robert Posthumas and Nels Peterson who were armed only with clubs.
 Oblivious of flying bullets, the three rushed the frenzied convicts. Peterson was felled by pistol butt. He rose, seized a pick handle, knocked one prisoner senseless and

 THE HIGH SEAS
Son of Woman Who Is Famous in DiyOrces and
 Remarriages

"A bewildered young man under fed- eral indictment on charges of mur- der on the high seas was described today as the son of Jean Nash, now Madame Paul Dubonnett, renowned for more than decade as the best dressed woman in Europe and pa- tron of high stake gaming casinos along the Riviera.
 The relationship was pieced to- gether from the vague statements of Andrew D. Kirwan, 23.
 He is charged with stabbing Wll- liam Sessoms of Seattle, aboard the Dollar liner President Garfield as it neared New York February 10.
 A collector of weapons, young Kirwan allegedly used a strangely fashioned hair-handled knife to end 8 drunken quarrel over re- Iigion.
 The federal grand jury indicted Kirwan on the first. federal charge of murder returned here in l3 years. It is punishable by hanging.

COAST GUARDS IN EXCITING CHASE
 NAILED VESSEL
Biggest Rum Capture Made l in New England Waters l Since Repeal

Augusta. Me, March 12-(U.P.) Nine alleged msmugglers and two men accused of directing their activities by radio faced arra1Sn- ment here to-day after the biggest rum capture in New England Wa- ters since repeal.
 Seizure of the Canadian schooner Normada, allegedly loaded with 5000 cases of choice liquors, cli-
 maxed an exciting chase by coast
 guards and federal agents along
 the Maine coast last night. The ves-
 sel finally was overhauled near Seal
 Harbor.
 The capture followed a raid by
 government agents, led by Robert
 W. Coyne of the department of
 justice. on a Brooklyn radio sta-
 tion, from where operations of the
 Normada allegedly were directed.
 Two men, who identified them
 selves as Charles Harnish of Meth
 uen, Mass and Ralp Leach of Dark
 Harbor were arrested there.
 They were brought here for ar- raignment with the nine members of the crew for arraignment before a l.. $. commissioner.
 Authorities said the capture led to the belief that the huge boot logging syndicates that flourished in this section during prohibition still were operating.
 "We regard this as the most inn portant seizure made since prohib- ition." Coyne said.
 The crew of the captured vessel included Captain James Meisner, Wallace Corkum, John Wagner, Czlie Whynaucht and Calvin Young all of Lunenburg, N. S.; Thomas Lee and Stedman Wick, both of
 New foundland, and Charles An derSOn of Camden.

Washington, March 12-(UP)- Disagreement over the fedora! trade commissions powers in anti trust cases today provoked an un- usual and perhaps significant dfvi- sion in the supreme court. The conservative members were joined by Justice owen J. Roberts, con- trolling the tribunal.
 The case involved merger of two important New England electrical companies the Arrow company and Hart 6 Hegeman company, joined by stock-holdfng corporation merger in 1927.
 When the trade commission started an action against this merger, 1t was changed so that aIs- sets of the companies passed to the holding company instead of the stock.
 The commission flied new com pfaint and ordered the holding company to release assets of one of the companies on the ground that the merger tended to restrain competition and violated the Clay ton act.

 HOLD SPOTLIGHT IN ALL SECTIONS
Lawyers in Needham Re- fused Delay-Army of
 Guards Around Jail

Dedham, Mass, March 12.- UP) Abe F'aber and the Millen brothers must go on trial as al- legged killer bandits on March 26, as scheduled, Superior Judge Nel- son P. Brown ruled today.
 Motions for defense counsel for postponement of the murder trial were denied by Judge Brown in a long-distance telephone call from Springfield, where he is presiding at another case. The call was re- ceived here by Clerk Robert E. Worthington of the Norfolk su- perior court.
 Details of the judges ruling were not immediately disclosed. It was understood they would not be made public until his formal decision, In writing arrived here from Spring field by mail or messenger.
 Judge Brown, who heard argu- ments of defense counsel here only last Saturday, made known his de- cision promptly so preparations for prosecutio and defense would not lag. In taking the motions under advisement on Saturday, he had in- structed both sides not to tarry in the expectation of any delay.
 Thus, F'aber, honor-graduate of Massachusetts institute of Technol- ogy and alleged "brains" of the gang, and Murton and Irving Mill len, must go on trial for their lives here two weeks from today, charg- ed with the machine-gun killing oi two policemen in a $13,900 hold-uI at the Needham Trust company February 2.
 Defense counsel, Attorney Will jam R. Scharton for Faber and At torneys George Stanley Harvey and Albert R. Mackusick for the Mil- lens, had pleaded for a stay of trial on the grounds that:
 1-They had insufficient time to prepare the cases for trial.
 2-The sanity or insanity of the defendants could not be determined until records wree received from Russia regarding the ancestral his- tory of tn defendants.
 3-"SensationaP newspaper stor. ies have so prejudiced the minds of the people of Norfolk county that a fair trial at this time is impossible.
