Dublin street. Later we had the Fl Dorado Club, composed of all the young men out this way, with splashy quarters in the lower floor of the Cassidy apartment block on the south side of East Main street out near where the fine Sutton family once lived. Who of us will ever forget their famous
 masquerade ball held in the City Hall one stormy and cold night during the winter, with the in- terior of the building crowded to the doors. Few, if any of this old crowd are left to-day. And the Brass Cities; what entertainers they were. A supper and dance held in their fire quarters some time during the winter, with the old hose reel removed temporarily to the side of the building to make room for the merry lot of dancers. We had great times in those days Brother, Don't forget that.
 Il of this comes back to us with the announcement that the old New Haven railroad has gone bankrupct. We didn't think such a think could ever happen. But it was the New Haven road really that killed the railroad of our own creation. They gobbled it up, 50 that there would be less competition, and because its stock was of little value, natural ly, we got no dividends.
 ... Free Rides
 About the only thing we got out of it was a free train ride to Meriden one day, when an invitation to inspect the road was issued to all of the Water bury stockholders. We all accep- ted, of course, and rode merrily along the road to Meriden, en- toying special cigars and sand wiches provided for the trip by the officers of the road. They pointed out to us the great pos abilities of the new Railroad, and what it meant to all of us to be classed as stockholders of this important railroad. We listened, really, with our mouths wide open, in the thought that some day, perhaps, we might be rich, and important in the affairs of the road. But 1t was only an il- fusion. All we got out of the mon- ey We put into the treasury was that one train ride. Just the same it was an interesting experience, in that during the time the rail- road operated, we let 1t be known to our friends and rela- tives that we were stockholders in the enterprise.
 Glory Gone
 The Meriden, Waterbury, and Conn. River Railroad has been dead these many years. The old depot is thing of the past. The greatness of it all in its early days appears like a dream to us now. Yet, we gloried in the experience, and felt sort of puffed up for the time being.
 Our hearts go out to the old New Haven railroad in the hope that it will be able to keep its head up, and eventually overcome the difficulties that now confront it, so that it's stock will soar as in the days of old, and provide roace for its many stockholders.

NEW HAUPTMANN
 CLUES AT HAND

Boston, Nov. 26. (UP)-The Bos- ton Daily Globe in 6 copyright story said today that defense investiga- tors for Bruno Richard Hauptmann, convicted Lindbergh baby kidnaper, have uncovered three important clues in Massachusetts which they hope will save Hauptmann from the electric chair.
 The investigators, according to the Globe, have found wood which they believe is identical with that from which the kidnap ladder was constructed, handwriting samples which they believe match the ran- som notes, and bills which they hope to prove are part of the ran- so mnnoney.
 Investigation of the clues in Massachusetts has been going on with utmost secrecy for the past month, the Globe said. It is under the direction of c. Lloyd Fisher, now chief defense counsel for Hauptmann in his U. s. supreme court battle for new trial. Fisher has made four trips here personally to direct developments, according to the Globe.
 The center of the investigation, according to tn estory, surrounds the little town of Ashby, near Fitchburg. It was there, according to the Globe. that the wood thought to be identical with that of the kid- nap ladder, was discovered.
 investigators have been working in secrecy at a summer camp in Ashby and have dug a six-foot hole under the cottage, the story said.
 The supposed ransom money which Hauptmann's attorneys have in their possession, said the Globe, allegedly was passed in Boston by a man who now is directly under sus- picion of the Kidnapping.
 Tn the supreme court battle for new trial, according to the Globe, Hauptmann's lawyers will probably revive the claim that Isidor Fisch. friend of Hauptmann who is now denS, was the actual kidnaper and ransomtaker and name another man as an accomplice.

BY THE OUT EASTER

We out here in the East End, Out Easters', as we all are, weep now and then when we find that the New Haven railroad has been forced into bankruptcy, and is now, therefore, in the hands of receivers. We think of the old days when the stock of this old Connecticut institution was com monly known among us as the protector of the rights of the widows and orphans of the state, the ones, you know, who had money in it, provided by the head of the family during his lifes term upon earth. It was choice stock, the dividends came regu- larly, and many families, these same widows and orphans, lived on the earnings until the children grew up, and the widows grew old.
 Early Organization
 It also makes us think back to the old ,Meriden, Waterbury and the time of the organization of Connecticut River railroad, after wards sold to the late Judge A. Heaton Robertson of New Haven, himself prominent in the affairs of the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad, and which eventually took control of this railroad, constructed back in the late eighties, and with trains starting and arriving at the old Dublin street railroad terminal. Nearly all of the old time families of the East End held stock in this railroad. Gentlemanly agents canvaSSed our district during the financing of the railroad, and many of us subscribed for stock, some of us to the amount of one hundred dollars, and others of US out here paying in as much as five hundred dollars. You see we were all anxious to have 8 rail- road out here. We didn't have much money, but what little we had we gave, so that we would be Tn a position to say that the new railroad right in our midst was built in part through the sub- scriptions of some of our own res- dents.
 Oh, you new residents out here, hardly understand, how lively this section was in the old days of nearly 50 years ago. Trains, a half dozen or so, arriving and leaving for Meriden and Cromwell, with numerous freight trains at night making trips for transportation by water by way of the Connecti- cut river. And later, a connection was made with the old and now defunct New England Railroad, whereby, freight was transferred from this important railroad cen- ter to the Meriden railroad and then shipped by water through the facilities arranged for at Cromwell.
 Dublin Street
 Old Dublin street was a busy spot in those days. Hacks and car- riages of all kinds moved out East Main street and into Dublin street carrying passengers to and from the old depot. Railroad men lived with various families out here, a great lot of fellows, too, they were. and helped in the social activities of this section on the part of that old and gallant lot of volunteer firemen.

Reports that boiler had burst at Merriman school this morning proved, like the premature runor of the death of Mark Twain, to be greatly exaggerated. A steam pipe burst at the school but the damage was inconsequential and will not entail any great amount of repair work. according to Dr. Thomas J. Condon, superintendent of schools. Mulcahy school pupils were forced to leave their building several weeks ago when a boiler burst there and returned only yesterday, after temporary transfer to Washington school.

United States had from the first pursued its own independent course; that it had never consulted or col laborated with any other nation or group of nations such as the League of Nations, and that what ever measures foreign nations or groups might choose to take for the preservation or restoration of peace would have no bearing whatever on American policy.
 This policy is to keep this nation out of war and to avoid feeding the flames of war for the sake of some war profits to a few individuals.
