HANDSOME DAN'

So Kidnapers of Yale Mas cot May Decide to Send
 Him Back to Campus

New Haven, Conn, March 24.- UP)-Handsome Dan, II, Yale's bulldog mascot, has such a large appetite his kidnapers are anxious to get rid of him, according to a telephone message received at the Yale Record office.
 The call, according to Record officials, came from Francis D. More, chairman of the Harvard Lampoon, and related that Dan would be returned ''in good shape if Record officers would attend a Lampoon dinner tonight.
 Inasmuch as the Record staff was prepared to sail for Bermuda today with the Eli rugby team, the offer was declined, it was said. However, it was intimated substi- tutes had been delegated to accept the dinner engagement and bring back Dan to his comfortable quar- ters at Ray Tompkins house, from which place he was stolen week ago last Wednesday night.
 Meanwhile Yale Athletic Direc- tor Malcolm Farmer reported he had tangible evidence" Dan would be returned soon. Farmer said he talked with a Harvard official, whom he was not permitted to name, and was told the dog would "soon be back at Yale"

TWO CIVIL SUITS FILED IN COURT
 COMMON PLEAS
$15,OOO Asked for Auto Crash and $7,O0O for
 Fall in Tavern

An automobile collision is the basis for two civil actions asking a total of S15.00O and a fall in a beer tavern is made the issue of a third action asking $7,O00 damages instituted today in the common pleas court. Martin Groody and Helen Reilly are plaintiffs in the automobile suits started against Swift & Co.
 Ernest Partridge of Southbury is plaintiff in the fall action begun against Anna B. Matzkin of Water- bury. He charges he suffered a fractured leg in the defendants restaurant, located at 115 South Main street, Feb. F.. 1884. He says he entered the establishment, to get a glass of beer and started to leave through the rear exit when he stepped into depression in the floor and was thrown. He alleges he will have a permanent shortening of the right leg as a result of his injuries.
 Attorney William E. Fitzgerald brings the suit and also drew up the complaints in the automobile suits. In those actions it is alleged that Miss Reilly was being driven to her home at noon hour of Feb. 1. 1884 along Baldwin street in Groodys car when the defendants s truck came down Pleasant street, swung cross wise across Baldwin street and collided with the Groody car. The Groody machine was de- molished and both occupants were severely and permanently injured, the complaint alleges. Both suffer- ed concussions of the brain and numerous decorations. Miss Reilly and Mr Reilly seek s7,000 dam ages apiece.

SOVIET RUSSIA SEES CRASH OF
 DISARMAMENT
Fearful of the Dangers Ahead Soyiets Try for
 the Old League
By SAMUEL DASHIELL Copyright, 1884, by United Press ]

Paris, March "A - (UP)-Au- thoritative sources asserted to-day that Soviet Russia, fearful of a collapse of disarmament efforts. was eager to lead a great move ment of world powers for revival of the prestige of the League ot Nations and was negotiating with the United States to that end. It was asserted that American Ambassador William C. Bullitt, at Moscow, and Russian Ambassador Alexander Troyanovsky, at Wash- ington, were conducting negotia- tions in behalf of their govern ments.
 The informant said that Rus sia was hopeful of reviving the moral and political authority of the league and, if terms could be arranged, to announce her own entry, after her many years of ab- stinence, at the annual league as- sembly in September.
 Russia's fears were based on the withdrawal of her two great neighbors, Germany and Japan, from the league and the danger of an armaments race and war that might follow collapse of disarma- ment efforts.
 Steering a careful course, it was said, Russia sought assurances that the United States would con- tinue active collaboration in dis armament work and in all league efforts toward peace.
 It was said also that Russia would like to see the United States in the league and to make this d condition of concrete aUrapmprf but with the known attitude of the United States it was assumed the condition" was not a final one if Russia really wanted to join the league and, at the same time. possessed no information of a change of American attitude de- nied to the ordinary person.
 Once scornful of the league, Russia in recent years has coop erated in many ways, and her de- sire for peace and disarmament has been evidenced by a remark able series of non-aggression treat ies negotiated by her brilliant for eign minister, Maxim Litvinoff, who negotiated resumption of re- lations between Russia and the United States.
 Now, Russia is said to be re- calling the utility of the league ill it's early days to Turkey, only member of the German World war group that escaped lightly in treaties.
 Russia was said also to be con- vinced that the present weakness of the league could be rectified If her vast group of Soviet republics joined, Germany and Japan were induced to go back and the United States could be depended upon to

WATERBURY IN
 GOOD STANDING
Placed Fourth in This ! State in Matter of
 Building Projects

Waterbury stood fourth among the leading cities of the state or Connecticut during February not only in the estimated cost of build ing operations but also in the num- Der of building permits issued. This fact was disclosed in the monthly report issued from Washington. b. C., by the bureau statistics of the United States department of labor.
 The estimated cost of building operations in Waterbury amounted to $4,550. Hartford led with q total of $S4,169 and New Haven was second with figure of $2O,79O. Bridgeport was third with only $7,65s.
 The fact that Bridgeport only reached the total of $7,655 was considered a significant fact be- cause the Park City is much larger than Waterbury and is claimed to be the industrial center of Conn., ecticut. Waterbury's showing with s4,550 is considered good in com parison with Bridgeport's total of S7.655 and it is believed that Hart ford and New Haven Benefited by abnormal activities.
 The number of permits issued in Waterbury during February was seven. In Hartford the total was 54 while in New Haven the figure was 29. Bridgeport's building in spector's department showed a total of II permits given out.
 Taking the report of a federal labor department as whole, there was a decrease of 9.3 per cent, in the number and per cent. in the estimated cost of buildings for which permits were issued in Feb ruary as compared with January The report covers TIP identical cities having a population of 10000 or over.
 Although the total value of all permits issued declined by ? per cent. the value of new residential! buildings for which permits were issuel increased 12.6 per cent. The

.Sixteen Were Burned
 ToDeathmLmchburg
Eighty=fve Were Injured = Fire Swept Through Bureau Home for Transients in Virginia;
 Bodies of Victims Were Recovered

Lynchburg, Va, March "A - CUP)-At least 16 persons were sburned to death and approximately S5 were injured today when fire swept through the Transient Bur- eau home. ..
 Bodies of the 16 were recovered
 It was feared the ruins might contain others.
 Some of those injured were burned so severely that they were not expected to live.
 The home, a hree-story frame structure, was turned into a roar ing furnace.
 Flames shot up the elevator shaft from a fire in the kitchen.
 First reports were that the blaze started when cook overturned a pan of grease in preparing break fast.
 The cook, frightened, ran scream ing from the kitchen.
 The flames, sucked by the draft, swept up the elevator shaft and soon the old structure was ablaZe from the ground floor to the roof.
 Many of the occupants of the home, still asleep in cots. had no warning and were trapped. 7,
 The victims were persons who were being cared for by the federal emergency relief administration. They were said to be from various parts of the country.
 Fire apparatus reached the scene quickly, as the building was on one of the main streets.
 Bremen saved many, although some of those carried from the fiery interior were believed to have been fatally burned.
 The 16 persons killed were all transients, policemen said.
 The fire presented a picture of horror as transient men and wo- men, asleep when it started, jump ed from windows and ran from the entrances.
