CUFFEY BILL IS
CHANGED AGAIN

Washington; Aug. 23.-(UP).-
House and senate conferees agreed
today to retain in the Guffey coal
control bill the Borah amendment
striking out a house provision
which would have exempted
bituminous operators from the
antitrust laws.
Conferees also agreed to retain
a senate amendment exempting
farm cooperative organizations
from marketing and labor pro-
visions of the bill. The section
would permit cooperatives to deal
in coal without regard for mini
mum prices to be set up under the
bill.
Senate conferees receded from
an amendment changing the set
up of marketing areas, and from
one dividing membership OF the
national bituminous coal labor
loard among political parties. The
house agreed to senate provision
placing employees OF the bltumin-
Gus coal commission on . civil
service status.

JEWISH PEOPLE

Their Contribution to the

Seat 500 People

An amphitheater capable of seat
ing approximately 500 persons Is
being erected at Settlers Village,
Waterbury's historical settlement
in Chase Park. The amphitheater
will represent the Jewish contribu-
ton to the exposition and will be
appropriately dedicated within the
month.
The amphitheater will be roof

Rome or the amphitheater at Ver-

stone.
Faces Town Hall
The rostrum will be facing the
Town Hall allowing the seats for

There will be no combats of gladi-
ators. or fights between wild beasts,
for this amphitheater will be used
for speech making and for meet
ings of any society in the city that
wishes to hold its meeting out

A plate will be placed on the
front of tho rostrum telling the
world that the Jewish folks played
an important part in the creation
of the unique settlement which has
unquestionably proved to be the
chief tercentenary attraction. The
Jewish people are also financing
the land scaping of the entire VII

BY FREDERICK KUN
Copyright 1885 by United Press)

London, Aug. 23-(UP)-A meet
ing of the imperial defense commit
tee, described as of extreme impor-
lance. was held today at historic
No. 10 Downing street-a direct
sequel to yesterdays cabinet meet
ing on the Italian-Ethiopian crisis.
1t was believed the meeting was
convened to discuss naval, military
and areal preparations to safe
guard the empire in the event of
com plications in the dispute, now
a national emergency.
The committee, which meets to
consider the most urgent prob
lens of defense of the empire. as
sembled at 10 a. m. at mo. TO-"

lister Stanley Baldwin, and adjourn
ed at 1920 p. m. (6:20 a. m. EST d.
Eight Cabinet Ministers
Eight cabinet ministers attend
ed and a high representative of the
air force was present. The cabinet
ministers included Ramsay Mac
Donald, Lord President of the
council and recent Prime Minister;
Sir Samuel Hoare, foreign minister;
Sir Bolton Eyres-Monsell, first lord
of the admiralty; and Viscount Hal
flax, war minister.
It was believed they were dele
gated at yesterdays cabinet meet
ing to handle immediate defense
problems while others took advan-
tage of a hoped-for lull to complete
their vacations before the League
of Nations Council meeting Sept.
and the prospective outbreak of
war between Italy and Ethiopia
a war which now Britons fear
man endanger their empire unless
prompt precautionary measures,
political and military, are taken.
1t was recalled that Air Chief
Marshal Sir Edward Ellington
was called into the cabinet meet
ing yesterday.
Two Point Policy
AS a result of that meeting, Great
Britain has decided on two point
policy in the Ethiopian crisis -
First to seek united action by the

W. J.PAPE CARS
ARE NOT LISTED
in CITY TAXES
Records Show They Have
Been Filed on Lists
of Woodbury.

Taxpayers and voters of the city
arc aroused today due to the fact
that II has been disclosed that
Publisher William J. Pape of the
American Republican has trans
ferred and kept his motor vehicles
Off the Waterbury taxable grand
list. During 1894 and 1895 Pub
Usher Pape registered his cars IN
Woodbury.. He thus avoids helping
out other property owners In Wa
terbury in paying for the conduct
OF municipal affairs here. In 1893
he made sure to transfer one of
grand list to that of Woodbury..
How Can He DO II?
Cars cannot be registered in any
other town and kept off the local
grand list unless the owner states
that he Is a resident of the town In
which the automobile 10 taxed.
How, It was asked today, can
Publisher Pape claim voting resi-
dence in Waterbury and ask the
right from the electorate to run
the affairs Of the city unless he
registers his automobiles In the
city?" .uf
Property owners were up in arms
today when the tactics Of Pub
Usher Pape were exposed. In
1884 he had Packard and
Franklin car registered In Wood
bury. The 1895 registration for
the two cars also goes to Wood
bury. In 1898 he had a Frank
lin car. registered in Waterbury,
transferred to the Woodbury.

Should Be Shown Up
People who cry that they are
out to help reduce the tax rate and
then do their utmost to reduce the

Is based should be shown up-this
