THIEVES RANSACK
SALINARDI HONE
JeweIry Valued at 5000,
Reported Taken in Day.
light Burglary

Police today were seeking clues
to the identity Of the burglars who
early last night broke into the.
home of Frank SaIinardi. $50 East
Main street, and looted the place
OF jewelry valued 1T more than
$500. The theft took place between
6 and 10 o'clock last night, while
Salinardi, a we1l-known figure. was
on q trip to Thomaston.
The home was entered by pry@
ing open a small side window. De-
tectives today we're checking the
window stills and interior Of the
home to see If the burglars might
have left some fngerprints be-
hind them. but an early check
showed no trace of prints.
Among the articles taken by the.
thieves were a diamond set ia
white gold, q dinner ring with y,
cluster of three diamonds, q gold
watch, a white gold watch ana
baby's cross and chain. Almost
all the jewelry stolen was made
up of gifts given his wife by SAL
inardi. except for the tiny cross
and chain, which were a gift to his
baby son.
The break was first discovered
by Salinardi himself when he re-
turned from a drive to Thomaston
and found that the home had been
thoroughly ransacked. The thieves
left several valuable articles be-
hind them because Of their bulk.
Patrolman George Flavin, after a
police complaint had been re-
ceived, investigated last night,
with detectives taking up the case,
this morning.

Storm OF Criticism
Hits Rotary System
East End Section Organizes Strong Protest Against
Plan-Showdown Expected Shortly

A showdown on the much-dis-
cussed rotary traffic plan may
come at the next meeting of the
board of police commissioners
when the traffic committee of that
body will make a report on a Pc
tition submitted by a group OF
East End residents that traffic
circles in that section are more OF
a hazard than helf to, safety.
The situation has been coming to
a head locally for some time, COM
ing into public attention spasmod-
ically as various community groups
protested establishment of rotary
areas in their respective sections.
Eventually, it appears, it may
even come to a question of aban-
doning traffic signal lights in favor
of the circles in the city, with
but a few exceptions. Several
steps have been taken in this d.
rection, notably the replacement OF
the light at West Main street, Riv-
erside street and WATERFOWL ave-
nue. with a set of rotary standards.
Police have called this particular
experiment a decided success.
Favors Rotary
It is known that Police Superin-
tendent Joseph H. Mclean is In
favor of the rotary traffic plan,
and that he believes the circles
now in operation to be definite
contributions to public safety. 1t
has been with the superintendent
sanction that the newest traffic
circles in the city have been placed
and set into operation.
The controversy which may
bring the matter to the showdown
mentioned arose when the police
department placed set of rotary
standards at East Main and Silver
street, at the entrance to Hamil-
ton Park. Residents Of that neigh
borhood claimed that 1t was too
difficult for cars to swing around
the rotary and declared that the
circle was menace. Their pro-
test took the form Of a petition,
signed by Ito men and women
taxpayers, which was presented to
the board OF aldermen. The board
referred it to the board of police
commissioners and the latter board
referred it to its traffic commit
tee, which is now studying the
situation to prepare for report
which will be submitted at the
next board meeting.
East End Protests
East End residents are also pro-
testing about the rotary at the
Sacred Heart church. A rotary
was placed on Cooke street, near
Fulton Park, a few weeks ago,
after requests by organizations in
that district, only to have COM
plants pour in afterward that the
rotary was a danger rather than
an aid in preventing accidents.
With the police boards approx
al, the police may even discon-
tinue other lights which are now
in use and place traffic circles at
the intersections in their stead.
How soon this action would be
taken is problematical, but the
rotary system, as far as police are
concerned. is here to stay.
