Italy Will Demand Abso.
lutte Sovereignty Over
Abyssinia

ROME. June %. (UP).-Italy
intends to demsnd actual SOW
ereignty over Abyssinia, authori-
tative circles reported TODAY as
Mussolini and Anthony Eden,
British cabinet envoy, began a
conference on world politics.
1t was intimated that Mussolini
plans to accomplish hits by arms.
Prospect of Italian domination
over Abyssinia made it likely that
the British-German naval agree
ment would be subordinated.
Indications were that Mussolini
would use Britain's example of ne
gotiating separately with Ger
mary to anger France as weap-
on in advance of Abyssinian am
billions.
Informants said that Mussolini
would contend that Britain ig-
nores the league when it likes and,
therefore. Italy IS free to act as
MuSsolini wants, though Abyssinia
also is a member of the league.

COURT RECOGNIZES HEIRS IN RUSSIA

Three claimants to the estate of tl1e late Dr. Franz Grossman, col erful figure who died in Waterbury Oct. IA, 1884, were recognized as children and legitimate heirs to the estate, following a hearing before Judge Dennis J. Slavin in probate court yesterday afternoon. Earlier in the day, eight claims totaling $72,000 were settled by compromise for $7,200. All claims were based on services rendered the late doctor who was shown not to have been a surgeon in the Czar's staff, as had been believed, but only 8 pharma- cist when he left Russia.
 The three claimants recognized as children yesterday are David Grossman, 54, Lev, AT, both of Lem ingrad and Mrs. Vera Grossman Tnrnosky, 52, of Kiev. Their claims were presented by Attorney David Nair of New Britain.
 Dr. Grossman left an estate in- ventoried at about $17,000. With the claims allowed yesterday and the numerous taxes to be paid state and government deducted, it is be- lieved the share left for the three heirs will be only about six or seven thousand dollars.

 The IA new projects call for the improvement with gravel or with various types of pavement of 35 1-2 miles of highway, all of local town nature, the building of one large bridge and the altering of another bridge.
 All told, the big PWA program with its A jobs will entail the im- provement of approximately 118 miles of highway surface and the construction of five bridges, plus other types of work.

 'Deadline"
 All of the work, Commissioner Macdonald stated in his request for bids, is contingent upon the grant, ing of funds by the federal author ities and upon the acceptance of federal grants by the municipalities in which the jobs are planned. The PWA "deadline" is December IA.
 Whereas @ majority of the 30 pro- jects previously announced involve gravel surfacing, eight of the 12 new jobs, outside of the bridge con- tracts, call for macadam or con- crete paving. Most extensive of these will be the laying of about 3 IA miles of bituminous macadam on the Woodhouse road in Walilng- waterbound macadam will be con- structed on Maple street in Weth- ford. Upwards of 3 IA miles of ersfleld, and about two miles of bituminouS nacadan and asphaltic concrete will be built on two roads in the towns of New Canaan and Wilton.

Power Co. Balance
 Cut In Nine Months
Increased Expense and Free Service Offer Given as
 Reasons Dividend Checks Mailed

While gross earnings of the Con- necticut Power company during the first nine months of 1885 showed a slight gain as compared with the corresponding period of 1884, the balance available for reserves, divi- dends and surplus was five per cent below last year, according to 8 statement by President Viggo E. Bird, enclosed with stockholders quarterly dividend checks mailed by the company today.
 The dividend, payable December 2, amounted to 62 1-2 cents a share (pAr value $25) on common stock, to stockholders registered as of Mo- vember 15.
 In his statement;1 MT. Bird ex- D. .ined that the increase in the bal ance available for reserves, divi- dends and surplus was directly at- tributable to two causes, namely, increased expenses and the amount of unbilled service rendered in &C., cordance with the companys one year offer of free service starting December 1, 1894. For the first nine months of the year this free serv- ice amounted to $61,000 and, there- fore, accounts for the major part of the $70,000 reduction compared with the corresponding period of 1884. At the expiration of the free service" offer on December l, MT. Bird stated, a new electric home rate is being made available to all customers who have made sub- stantial increase in their use of electricity during the past F months.

Commissioner Michael O'Connell, of the board of police commission CTS, and chairman of that groups traffic committee, is an outSpoken advocate of the rotary system as against signal lights. He believes that rotaries enable traffic to flow more evenly and freely, and yet with as much safety as is af- forded by signal lights.
 Popularity Trend
 During the past police depart jnent fiscal year, which ends today, the trend has been noticeably in favor of rotary traffic. Already the standards have been called on to replace the signal light formerly in or cration at West Main street. Riverside street and Watertown avenue, a busy intersection. Rota- ries have been set up in many oth- CT locations in recent months, while 1l0 new lights have been placed in operation here in some time.
 One of the newer developments in connection with the placing of rotaries has been the establishment of stop streets on two sides of the standards. An example is at Sylvan avenue and Washington street, where two sides of the intersection E..'e been posted with stop signs.
 Boulevard Plan
 The boulevard system has been fin operation for several years on Grove street, with cars coming out O. intersecting streets obliged to C. ne to a full halt before moving on to Grove street. A similar plan may be put into action on Baldwin street, Willow street, and other main traffic arteries.

RAND PREPARES
 FOR GOLD BOOM

Johannesburg, South Africa, Nov 30-(UP)-The Rand is ready for another gold boom, according to all indications.
 In speech here, Hans Pirow, the government mining engineer, and South Africa's leading authority, revealed that if the Rand mines could penetrate another 2,50O feet in depth they would make avail- able another 200,000,00 tons of ore worth $l,250,O00, 900.
 Hitherto depth of 7,500 feet was considered as the limit, but with constant improvement in mine ven- tilation 10000 feet may become practicable.
 In addition, position of great promise is gradually unfolding itself in the far western areas beyond the present limits of the Rand, where indications of a valuable new goldfield are slowly and surely be- ing revealed.
 During the past two years. active boring operations have been carried out over a l00-mile strip stretching from the westerly limits of the present Rand in a southwesterly direction into the Transvaal coun- tryside. Valuable strikes already have been made at various points. indicating long extension of the Rand reefs.
 Already 36 miles, or half the length of the present Rand, have been definitely proved as carrying the main reef, or enough for six new mines which may shortly be fioated. If the rest of the strip is similarly proved, the Rand win ex. pand to three times its present size.
