 The registration of dogs may be started immediately, Miss Egan stated, although the listing does not start until after April list. All such animals must be registered by May 1st. l.
 From 1928 to 1881 the income from this source to the town clerks office, according to the records on hand, show continual drop. Tn 1928 the income was $7,20O: in 1929 it was $6,6s9; 1890, $6,325; 1881, $5,568. The 1892 and 1883 figures are now being prepared.
 The fact that only 1000 licenses were issued during 1888 has given rise to the question of where the rest of the dogs are. It is general ly admitted that the dog family in Waterbury is increasing, rather than decreasing. In the past few years, due to the depression, there has been in effect a spirit of len- iency. This spirit will. not be fol- lowed out this year. 1t was ex- plained.
 It is estimated that there are about 5000 dogs in the city. When the, period for registration the canines expires on May 1st a drive will be instituted by the dog war; den and all persons harboring un- licensed animals will be looked up and hailed into court. The cost for a male dogs license is $2. For a female, 1t is $10.25.

THREE ARRESTED

 HOLD-UP CRIME
All Residents of Massa- chusetts - Mystery
 Witness in Case

Brockton, Mass, Mar 26.-(UP) Three men were arrested to-day as alleged members of the gang of five machine-gunners who inter- cepted a $26, ,000 payroll Friday as it was being taken from the Home National bank to the Diamond Shoe company.
 Nicholas Gaeta, 28. vending ma- chine salesman and native of Brockton, was arrested at his Som- erville home and was held as a suspicious person after witnesses made what police termed a good identification" of him.
 About eight hours later police announced that Mario Massa, alias Philip Massi, of Chelsea, and Frank (Chick) Williams, 28, of Somer- vile, had both been arrested in Chelsea. s
 A fourth suspect, William De- Angelis, 35, of Revere, was absolveG of any connection with the Brock ton ho1dup but was released to Bos- ton police for questioning in con- nection with another case.
 The arrest of Massa and Williams had been asked in statewide police broadcasts yesterday. Before their arrest it had bene reported here that both men had fled Massachu- setts.
 A mystery witness. described by police as "the one person who would be able to make positive identification" was among those those who viewed Gaeta at Brock ton police headquarters after he had been taken from his Somerville home by Lieutenant Frank Hales of the state police, Sergeant Arthur Tiernan of Boston, and Lieutenant Thomas Fitzpatrick of Brockton.
 After the bank guard, bank chauffeur and 10 other witnesses of holdup had first viewed Gaeta, the suspect was taken to another room where the press was barred.
 The room was darkened and the mystery witness led in. A strong light was focused on Gaeta so that he could not see the unnamed man but was himslef illuminated by the revealing rays.
 Gaeta Is married and IS the father of two children.

closed. Saturday, March 31st, the various offices are open only in the morning So that the public really has four and one-half days this week to secure their April 1st reg istrations. But for the additional time it would be impossible on Saturday morning alone to meet the demand. This ruling applies to the motor vehicle offices in Waterbury, Bridgeport, New Haven, New Lon- don, Norwich, Willimantic, Dan bury, Stamford and South Norwaik as well as the main office in Hart ford.
 The experience of past years in- dicates big rush for plates a. round January 1st and then marked fall-off during the latter part of January and continuing through February and March with a sudden spurt at April 1st. Regis trations then continue active through the summer months. From January 1st of this year up to and including March goth there were 198,O60 passenger vehicles regis tered and it is estimated that the April registrations will range from 25,00O to 3O,O0O cars. With the convenience of the extra days early in the week to secure April registrations Commissioner Connor believes thesApril registrations this year will reach high figure. Dur ing April, 1883, there were 26,S7S registrations.

MOSCOW, March IA Russian
rescue commission laid plans today to
an expedition to save 101 men and
women marooned on an ice foe IL
the Bering Straits, of Northern ST.

Ten members of the Wrangel Island

to be suffering severely from weakness
and exposure Two small children
are among them.

1T is not merely a question of res
cue now, but the speediest possible
rescue" said v. v. Kuybysheff, head
of the commission.
Three Russian aviatorS, one Of
whom flew to the aid of Jimmy Mat
tern when he cracked his plane in a
forced landing on his round d-the-world
flight, arrived in New York yesterday
with orders to proceed to Washing
ton and await orders, from Moscow
Kuybysheff said they may be sent
to Alaska to attempt an aerial rescue
from Nome. The position of the
castaways was last reported at 68.25
North latitude, 1888 West longitude,
approximately 200 miles due west of
Point Hope, the nearest Alaskan ter
ritory.
Mobilize Expeditions.
The three aviators, ranked among
the foremost in Russia, are S. A. Lew
enevsky, Mattern's Samaritan; G. A.
Ushakoff and Slepney. They sailed
for New York aboard the Olympic.
They did not carry planes Kuyby-
shelf said the United States Govern
ment had not been asked for assist
ance, but indicated that any help
from that quarter would be gratefully
received by the Soviet government.
Meantime, the Soviets are concen-
trating on one of the greatest relief
expeditions in the history of Arctic
exploration. Three large planes are
already at Cape Wellen awaiting IA
vorable weather to take off for the
ice camp set up with the aid of stores
rescued from the sinking Cheliuskin,
and the steamer Smolensk. with seven
lighter aircraft aboard, sailed today
from Vladivostock.
To-Day Delay Seen.
The steamer Stalingrad is taking on
two more light planes at Petropav-
lovsk, expecting to sail soon. In ad-
dition the aviator, M. Vodopianoff, is
now flying from Moscow to Khaba-
rovsk, from where he will hop in easy
stages to Cape Wellen in a specially
equipped plane.
KubySheff estimated that even with
the most favorable weather-the most
important factor in airplane rescue
operations at this time of the year in
the Arctic-it probably would be 10
days or two weeks before the full re-
lief forces are concentrated at the
operating bases
Kubyshef revealed that one Of the
planes previously dispatched flew over
the castaways' camp on the flight
from Cape Wellen, but could not see
the occupants or be seen by them be-
cause of a snowstorm.
