portion of his time in the field and will be only too glad to lend his assistance where 1t might be ex- pedient that he do so. The various sub-committees in the state can also be looked upon to do their share to secure voluntary compli- ance under the code.
 'In short, we intend employing the means already in our hands. launching an intensive drive with a view toward 100 per cent volun- tary compliance.
 "At the present time, we are frank to admit that there are many peddlers who have not been con- verted into tank truck dealers un- der article V. rule 21. We feel that a reasonable time for such conversion has elapsed and that there is no reason why this rule should not be strictly adhered to. However, we are again counting on your voluntary cooperation.
 "Of course, if such compliance cannot be gained voluntarily, We ask that you submit formal com- p1aints against the recalcitrants so that the code committee may have them investigated immediately and act upon them accordingly.
 There is no reason why we can- not make Connecticut an example for the rest of the country. Let's begin today"

COURT DECISION E
 WECHSNEW DEAL
Supreme Court Can Make or Break It Says
 Father COughIin

Detroit, Jan 14. (UP)-Discard of the New Deal and reversal of recovery would result 4rom an ad- verse supreme court decision in the gold clause cases testing the c0n- stitutiohality of President Roose- velts revaluation of the currency the Rev Charles D. Coughlin be. lieveg.
 Father Coughlin, in his regular radio address yesterday, declared the gold clause cases if decided against the administration, would spell chaos for the financial meth ods employed by the New Deal.
 Despite the action of congress in outlawing the gold clause, those men engaged in the case contend the president was unconstitutional in revaluating gold and that they therefore have a right to the high- CT priced dollar" he said.
 '"They wish to receive in return for each $100 invested in Liberty Bonds, $169 or payment in dollars equivalent to the old $20.67 ounce of gold.
 Congress, in failing to definitely legislate for revolution, made a mistake. Congress should rectify that mistake by passing a constitu- tional law which would validate the revalution of gold and which would not leave open to question the constitutionality of Mir Roose- velt's action"

 it had a depost. The Colonial Trust Company then presented the check to the New York bank, but 1t was not honored because the Merch- ants Trust Company had closed that very morning, December 23, 1891.
 Asked Plaintif's Status
 The plaintiff then asked the court to determine the status of the plaintiffs position. Judge John Richards Booth held that the plain tiff was a general creditor and not a depositor of the Merchants Trust Company.
 An appeal to the supreme court was taken by the plaintiff from Judge Booths decision. The su- preme court said the plaintiff was a savings depositor in the -Merch- ants Trust Company and was en- titled to the dividends paid to such depositors.
 Negligence Charged
 This $25,000 suit was filed in the meantime. naming the Colonial Trust Company defendant and charging negligence to the defend ant in delaying the clearing house transaction.
 In the more specific statement, the plaintiff charges that any 1udg- ment recovered can only be paid in 59 per cent gold.
 Asks NOn-Suit To this statement, the Colonial Trust Company has filed motion asking non-suit on the grounds the plaintiff has failed to comply with the order of Judge Cornell. That is, that the specific state ment. was not in fact, specific when filed by the plaintiff, If the non-suit is not granted, the de- fendant will ask the court to ex- punge the entire amendment to the complaint on the grounds that the damages the plaintiff claims were not caused by an negligence on the part of the Colonial Trust Com pany.
 If that Is not granted the bank will ask the plaintiff to state what particular stocks the plaintiff would have invested in, had the plaintiff had the cash.

A. T. Doane, chairman of the Connecticut Petroleum Code Com mittee, directed the following in- teresting message to petroleum margeters in Connecticut:
 "The Connecticut Petroleum Code committee takes this oppor- tunity to express its appreciation to those who have so willingly given of their time and effort in behalf of the industry under the Code.
 Now that we of the petroleum industry are upon the threshold of a new year, we again solicit your voluntary cooperation in it's behalf. There has been much loose talk about the lack of active prosecu- ton by the federal government. We do not feel that such action or the lack of such action at the present time is criterion for successful or unsuccessful operation under the Code. It is high time that we take inventory of the accomplish ments under the Code. ... ...
 We honestly feel that very few in the industry, if they were ap- preached as to the ledger side of their business, could honestly deny that they are in a better position than they were a year ago today. The review of the past year clearly shows that great progress has been made under the code. The stabilization efforts could not have been carried out without the code, as this work calls for cooperative effort from all marketers,. both large and small. It has been most gratifying to find high type of voluntary compliance by the ma- jority of the industry in Connecti- cut. It will be more gratifying to have 100% voluntary compliance during the year 1895.
 We are aware that each and every rule under the code has not accomplished the zenith of per- lection in operation, but it is not to be expected that such perfection can be accomplished overnight. However, we do believe that the operation of our industry under the code in Connecticut can come very close to approximating the accomplishments expected of 1t, If everyone puts his shoulder to the wheel.

SEVEN YEARS HATE
 ENDS IN MURDER

Pittsburgh, Pa, Jan 14-UP)- John Nardo, 61, and William Gavin, 61, hated each other for seven years, police said.
 Nardo's dislike was more intense because Gavin insisted on paying court to his 27-year-old daughter, Marian. So Nardo erected a fence around his property and posted a sign, NO Trespassing."
 This failed to deter Gavin, ac- cording to police, so Nardo set a trap-a revolver affixed to a string which pulled the trigger when the gate was opened.
 Gavin entered the gate last night and was shot to death. Nardo was arrested and charged with murder. He and his daughter were to be questioned today.

Milford A. & p. Manager Hurt
Ebe Palmer, age 48, manager of
a Milford A. & P. store, is suffering
a fractured skull at Milford En-
ergency Hospital as a result of an
attack early Sunday morning by
an unidentified assailant apparent
ly bent on robbery, just after he
had parekd his automobile in his
garage near his home on South
Front street. He was taken to the
hospital and the attending ply
sician, DR.. N. R. Washburn, stated
that besides the fractured skull he
sustained numerous other cuts and
bruised about the face and scalp.
The police believe that Palmer was
attacked with some blunt weapon,
possibly blackjack. The only
motive for the attack seems to
have been robbery, although Pal
mer had no money with him. The
Saturday receipts in the store, like
the receipts in most of the places
of business in Milford, are deposit
ed in the night vaults at the banks
1t is possible that this was not
known by the assailant. Mr.. Pal
mer stated that he had gone home
from the store and had run his car
into his garage, nearby. AS he
came out of the garage he was
struck over the head by the assail-
ant who hit him several times with
a weapon of some kind. In the
dark, he said he was unable to
identify the man who struck him,
