MEMBERS DISCUSS
 RESTAURANT ACT
State Owners May Modify Control Act Now Under
 AdviSement

Members of the Restaurant own CTS association of Connecticut may propose modification of the res- taurant control act now under ad- visement if they so desire, John E. Babson, field secretary, said last night at meeting of the Hartford branch at the Hotel Bond.
 Harmon A. Genlot of this city is member of the committee ap- pointed to draft the resolution.
 Tt is not the intention of the ex- ecutive committee to jam the act down the throat of anyone" Mir Babson said, and promised that the measure will be voted on by every member before being submitted to the General Assembly next winter for approval.
 It was the unanimous opinion of the me citing that some form of reg ulation is necessary, although there were objections to certain sections of the proposed act by some of those attending.
 Objection to the entrance into the restaurant business of taverns, caused by the new regulations per taining to such establishments, was voiced by l.. A. White of Hartford, state president of the association. This condition would seriously af- feet the financial standing of the restaurants now being operated throughout the state, he said.

able to minor violations, rather than to drunkenness, and extreme recklessness.
 He said he considered it priv ilege to address a group of drivers | with the commendable record at- tained by the local men, and added, you could probably teach men how to drive car"
 Of the newspaper campaign in- augurated last February, the com- missioner said that the cooperation of the state press had been 100 per cent, and that the results have been most gratifying. Fatalities were reduced by 60 per cent for the month of February, although dur ing that period there was an in- crease of 25 per cent for the na- tion, and many states reported greater percentages.
 Fewer Deaths
 The number of deaths so far this year is 23 fewer than last year, the commissioner said, although l there has been an increase of 20 per cent throughout the country. In spite of the prophecy of in- surance companies that automobiles will cause a far greater number of fatalities this year, he believes that with the help of the campaign, the number in the state can be kept down to a great extent.
 He discussed the advisability of rewarding good drivers, as we'll as punishing the wrongdoers, but said that no satisfactory method of do- ing so had yet been found. How ever, the good record of drivers who have a minimum of trouble will react in their favor when they do become involved in accidents.
 Vice President Speaks
 R. c. Fisher, vice-president and general manager of the company was also a speaker. MT Fisher said that all accidents are not avoidable, but that many of them are unneces- sary. He said that Wodren's aim was to have the goods delivered safely, as against the policy of some companies where haste is ur- ged above everything. He asked that all drivers be particularly care full to inspect their trucks before leaving for work.
 On behalf of the company MT Fisher presented 50 certificates woolen sweaters to drivers who have gone without accidents during the year.

Motor Vehiclel Commissioner Michael A, Connof last night pre- sented the annual trophy of the National Safety council for the fewest number of accidents among nurse drawn trucks during the year to R. F. Worden & Sons Inc, at their headquarters on Cherry street.
 Commissioner Connor paid trib- ute to the record of the company and it's drivers, and said that their accomplishment bore out his con- tention that the number of acci- dents throughout the state can be greatly diminished by careful driving.
 The team explained by Frank O'Connor was given the cup pre- sented annually by the company to the group which has the fewest accidents. Seven teams have been organized at the plant, two of horse-drawn vehicles, two of au- .tomobiles and three composed of inside workers. The two horse drawn teams which were awarded the national prize were explained by William Judd and James Mur- phy.
 Causes of Accidents
 Commissioner Connor said 1t was his belief that the vast majority of accidents are directly attribut-

 Backs Roosevelt
 "I have enjoyed serving in con- gress and would appreciate the op- portunity to continue service in that body. share the feeling that it is extremely important that Con- necticut representatives in the sen- ate be in accord with the program and principles of the patriotic and progressive administration of Pres ident Roosevelt. If my party comes to the conclusion that I am the person to make the contest for the seat, I am willing to assume the great responsibility of the office, and to that extent I may be con- Sidered a candidate.
 T am writing this letter at this time because I think it might be unfair and politically unwise fol me to take advantage of the gen. erosity and especial recognition of your committee. Therefore, I ask that my name be withdrawn from consideration as a presiding officer during the coming convention.

Negro Card Sharks Arrested By State
 Cops As Trial Ends
Western Youths Who FIeeced Local Gas Station Pair of $40 Taken After Court to Answer Similar
 Charges in Three Others Towns

.sIt was just science and skill proving the hand is quicker than the eye, two young negroes told Judge John F. McGrath in city court this morning as they defend ed themselves against a charge ot securing money under false pre- lenses through a slittle game" of three card monte. The judge, how ever, didn't quite agree as to the skill and science and fined the pair. Elvin Collins, 28, of Chicago, and Louis Bates, 27. of Los An geles, $25 and costs each, later re- mitting $10 on each fine.
 Smiling bit ruefully, Martin Crean and Lawrence Lucas, state witnesses, described how the ne- groes had fieeced them out of $40 at their West Main street gas sta- tion Saturday morning by means of three card monte. The two sharps were picked up in Spring field Saturday afternoon as the re- suit of an immediate police tele- type warming and radio broadcast.
 "Chinaman's Trick"
 Crean related that he and Lucas were as the gas station Saturday morning when the two youths drove up and bought some gaso- line. They went inside and had a bottle of soda, then asked Crean and Lucas if they had ever seen the "Chinaman's trick. They had not, so Collins got out a pack of cards selected three, and began to show them.
 "An you have to do," Bates sug- gested helpfully, "is to watch the ace of spades"
 Collins moved the three cards slowly about, face up, then turned them over.
 Lucas put his finger on one of the cards. That's the ace of spades" he said, turning it over and it was.
 Gee, you're pretty good" said Collins and Rates admiringly. Their admiration increased as for dozen consecutive times he picked out the not even guess to it."
 Suggests Little Fun
 Lets have some fun," suggest ed Collins, and play for a little stake"
 Lucas demurrcd at first. It's too easy" he said modestly. There's noe even a guess to it."
 Take him up anyway" whis- pered Bates. You might as we'll win his money as anyone else"
 All right. I'll take you on" said Lucas. This time the ace of spades didn't seem to be in the right place at all, and in just few minutes MT. Lucas was minus $20. He withdrew a bit puzzled.
 MT. Crean had been following the proceedings very closely and

was deeply sympathetic with his associate. Also, he said this morn- ing in court, he thought the ace of spades was bit bent on one corner. "Ill just win back Lucas money" he decided.
 Wrong Card Again
 The $20 bet was agreed on, Col lins slowly moved the cards and laid them down. Lucas pointed at one triumphantly and picked it up. You know" he testified, q picked up the ace of spades and it Was the four of hearts,"
 Before the two men even had time to think about the whole procedure, the two negroes had left, riched by $40. Lucas and Crean finally told the story to po- lice, with the result that the ne- groes were picked up.
 Collins took the stand to defend himself and Bates. Ut wasn't wrong, your honor," he said, "all he had to do was pick out the ace of spades. Besides, those heah wen were so interested in this lit- tie game that by the time we left there wuh fouah cars waitin' out side foah gas"
 Did you know what game you were playing?" the judge asked Mir. Crean.
 T found out last night" respond ed Mir. Crean, T went to the show and found out how they do it."
 After hearing the stories of all Judge McGrath said: Their money will probably be as good in city court as anywhere else. I'll fine them each $25 and cost. He, later lowered the fines to $15 and costs.
 Reporters Initiated
 Paying their fines, Collins and Bates initiated lawyers and report CTS into the mysteries of three card monte, with the ace of spades always just where one's eyes said 1t couldn't be.
 Two state policemen then en- tered the scene and arrested Bates and Collins for similar perform ance on a grocery store manager in Ridgefield. Charges against the pair are also entered in Brewster, N. Y., and Norwalk.
 Just to make their day complete, the boys were notified then also that their car, an Illinois-rcgistered coupe, had been attached on be- half of Atty. Frederick Bauby md their two mote victims, Crean and Lucas.
