CHURCH MINSTREL
 DRAWS BIG CROWD
Angelo PastOre Scores Surprise Hit in Sacred
 Heart Show at Park

Angelo Pastore, rotund East End youngster, made his debut beyond the footiights last night as solo, ist for the Sacred Heart minstrel at Hamilton park pavilion and to the overfiowing and appreciative audience that Waterbury has an- other budding songbird.
 The lad was called back for three encores of "An Earful of Music" and "The Object of My Af- fections' and was the lone solo, ist who couldn't give the crowd enough. His clear, tenor voice and enviable stage appearance won him many friends as he combined little comedy relief with his numbers.
 The chorus of 72 well trained voices were immacuulately clad in different colorful costumes and evening gowns creating a most fa- vorable impression on the minds of their listeners. Their blended har. mony stood out. Novelty renditions were featured throughout by Di- rector Joseph Lezotte.
 Charles Conner made a big hit ASANCtAh& Otu dituIul anu dS an encore sang Its Just Like Looking for Needle in a Hay stack" and "Beautiful Lady" leav- ing the stage and meanderiny through the audience until he came across the beautiful lady," in the person of Miss Nellie Lusas. who accompanied him, arm in arm, in his return trip to the stage. It was beautiful number and well received.
 The only drawback of the entire show was the comedy as the end mems gags and characterizations were poorly enacted.
 The Ryan Brothers, youthful dance team, were runnersup to Pastore for honors of the evening. The neatly dressed pair, clad in green silk uniforms, gave two de- Iightful exhibitions of tap dancing which drew rounds of applause. They gave so much they were not able to answer the ovation for a third encore as their first two num- bers were so difficult their wind was practically exhausted.
 Esther Farina rendered a classy interpolation of the L'Amour You Joures, a French song, which add ed variety to the soloist offerings. Ike Dervis. member of Jack Fitz- gerald's orchestra which played for the dancing after the show, &C., cordioned his way into the hearts of the crowd with the way he ran his fingers over the accordion keys.
 Phil Iagrosse was unable to ap- pear on the program due to contracted cold and his number With Every Breath I Take" was capably presented by the Doyle Sisters, Betty and Una. Mary Luddy scored heavily in her tap dancing speciality while Mildred Roach Le- zotte was forced to sing as an en- core When Irish Eyes Are SmiI- ing" after rendering "When I Grow Too Old For Dreams. Kay Howard in her buck and wing dance was called back for an en- core while Pat Hogan and Leo Ma her were likewise desired in. their solo renditions.

Coroner's Office
 May Be Abolished
Governor Reported in Favor of Move to EcOnOmize;
 Hearings on Measure to eB Held Later

Possibility of the office of cor bner becoming thing of the past l Increased during the past week when the judiciary committee, Complying with a request of Cover nor Wilbur L. Cross, drew up a Bf1l calling for elimination of the post. Passage of the measure will mean that Coroner John T. Mon- zani and Deputy Coroner Walter Gmyth of this city will lose their present, jobs.
 Party lines are expected to be bplit on tho question of whether or not to pass the bill when the measure comes up for discussion. Practically all the coroners' posts tn the state are held by republi- cans. Yet a republican-c controlled Judiciary committee of the legis- 1ature has complied with the re- quest of democratic governor and has raised a bill eliminating the office of coroner. There are of course, q number of democrats holding positions as coroners.
 Governor Cross recommended a bill eliminating the office of cor Oner in the interest of economy. The governor has suggested the Consolidation of many offices 50 as to cut down the expense of running the state.
 The action of the judiciary Committee in drawing up the bill to please the governor surprised many, both republicans and dem- Ocrats. On Roth sides there is objection to the plan which would turn the work of Investigating fa- talities and fixing the blame over to the state police department. It is claimed that the work should be done by coroners, just as it is now.
 | On the other hand, it is claimed by some that the coroner is an unnecessary officer. The police investigate the fatalities, anyway, it is pointed out, and turn over their information to the coroner who then, himself, conducts an in- quest to find out how the fatality happened and fix the blame. It is argued that this is duplication of effort and something which places an added, unnecessary expense on the state treasury.
 No date for the hearing on the bill eliminating the coroner's of- flee has yet been get. It will be heard before the judiciary commit tee. A very large number of lawy- CTS are expected to attend the ses- sion and it is an assured fact that the hearing will be lengthy and haafad AnA

(Continueu from Page l.l hotels would be allowed to sell li- quor by the drink after the pres- ent session of the legislature, but tavern owners have been extremely dubious of their chances selling liquor stronger than beer, ale and wine. The new license form, for cafes, will furnish tavernmen with a chance to sell liquor over the bar by merely changing their li- cense status.
 License for the cafe type of es- tablishment will cost a compara- lively high rate, according to au- thentic information, while restau- rant and hotel licenses. with the added liquor sale inducement, will also be lacked up. Tavern licenses will most probably remain at the present sum.
 The principal difficulty in crea- ting the cafe type of esta blish- ment is the uncertainty as to how many tavern owners will almost immediately seek to transfer their tavern license for cafe licenses. The judiciary committee hopes that a high license fee will curtail some tavern owners who might de. sire such transfer, but also counts on the fact that many tav- ern permittees, notably in Hart ford, New Haven and Bridgeport, might wish to retain their present status.
 At present, it appears that the Judiciary committee will not make any recommendations to the gem eral assembly until about the mid. die of April. though circumstances may necessItate . recommendation by that time.

 Governor Has Power Under the law the governor has the authority to name the tnsur- ance commissioner. His appotnt- ment, however, must be ratified by the senate. In view of the fact that it is expected that the office of insurance commissioner Is -ex- pected to go to a democrat this year, Senator Blackall is consider ed a strong candidate for the of- flee, especially because of his presence in the body which must ratify the governors choice.
 Backcr of Cross
 Senator Blackall has always been a packer of Governor Oross' policies and was the governors choice for president pro tempore of the senate when the deadlock occurred in January. The demo- cratic slate had Senator Raymond Devlin of New Haven for presi- dent protempore. The latter was not objectionable to the governor but 1t Is known that hes would ra. tiyer have had Senator Blackall picked for the post.
 In view of his clogeness to the governor, therefore, Senator Black all is expected to be the chief ex- ecutive's choice for the office of insurance commissioners.
