government was preparing the pulp lie for a compromise.
By WALLACE CARROLL (Copyright 1885 by United PreSs)


 Geneva, Dec. 11-(UP)-Represen- tatives of small nations said bitterly today that the French peace plan submitted to Italy was the greatest blow to the league since the Manchurian crisis of 1881 when Japan successfully defied it.
 They called it a betrayal of Eth iopia and of league principles. and observers generally expressed belief that it ended, definitely and for ev- CT, any chance that an oil embargo would be applied against Italy in punishment for it's war on Ethiopia.
 The leagues general staff, meet ing tomorrow, was expected to side- track the oil embargo indefinitely.
 It was believed here that Prem- iere Pierre Laval of France and Sir Samuel Hoare, British foreign sec- retary, agreed that the embargo would have most dangerous roper cussions on the European political situation.
 Small Nations Dazed
 Delegates of small powers, to whom the league is 8 protector, 8 safeguard against attack by greedy nations, not weapon of diplomacy, were almost dazed at full realization of the French British intentions.
 They asserted especially that Britain, after securing the condem- nation of Italy as an agressor, now offered Italy 8 reward for its ag- gression-just, they added, as Bri- tain helped to secure the condemna- tion of Germany for rearming last April and then secretaly negotiated a British German treaty conceding Germany the right to build large navy in direct violation of the Ver- Sailles treaty.
 The delegates of the small nations complained also that they made great sacrifices-much greater pro- portionately than the great powers in applying penalties at the insti- gation of Britain in order to prove that the system of collective secur- ity was workable. Now, they assert, France and Britain are offering reward to the aggressor, killing the collective system and imperilling the existence of all small nations which are unable to defend themselves.

landlord knew him as Joe Zubena. The city directory called him Joseph Gosinske. One handbook gave his name as Joe JousuSlZi.
 George Yettko, his landlord, be- came worried Saturday when he had not seen Jozenas for several days. He called police, and Patrolmen Eli Boulanger and William Harris broke into the basement and sent the man to the hospital. Jozenas was deliriouS even then, and had obviously been seriously i'll for sev- eral days. At Waterbury Hospital, his name was placed on the danger list, and no hope was held for his recovery. He grew weaker hour by hour and death came at II o'clock last night.
 Home Broken Into. Yettko, on Sunday, found that Jozenas' tenement had been broken into. He called Lieut.. Balanda, and the latter began the search of the premises which revealed the large amount of cash and the bankbooks. The burglars had ransacked the premises the night before, appar- ently influenced by the oft-heard report in Brooklyn that Jozenas was rich. They found about $l,000 but failed to discover the additional $1,100. In 8 small white bag in a suitcase, Lieut.. Balanda found ten $1OO bills. Between the pages of 8 prayer book were found additional bills which totalled $100.
 Had Brother, Sister.
 Police said today that they had learned that JozenaS had 8 brother, John, who lives in or near Hartford. He is also believed to be survived by at least one sister in Lithua1ia UrbaniatiS, one of the two youths charged with breaking into the hermit's home, was arrested by Lieut.. Balanda, and the sum of $424 recovered. Samoulis was then ar- rested and $449 more was recovered. The two lads were held by police today in lieu of $1,000 bonds. Acquaintances suspected that Jo- zenas had money, but none knew that the amount was as high as $3O,OOO. The squalor in which the recluse lived gave no indication of his wealth. The money, scraped to- gether over 8 period of years, could not save his life.
 The body was removed to the Deliniks Funeral Home, IT Congress avenue from where the funeral will be held at 8 time to be announced later.
 Administrator Named
 At hearing before Judge Dennis J. Slavin in probate court this morning, former Deputy Sheriff John Jenusaitis was appointed tenn porary administrator of the estate. The emergency appointment is for the purposes of conserving the es- tate until heirs or relatives of the deceased are found, and to take care of the funeral. A permanent admin istrator of the estate will be ap- pointed later.
 Deposits In Bank
 Bank books showing the following names and deposits were submitted at the hearing. Under the name of Jozenas Juozapas, deposit at the | KazemekaS & Go. Bank SowS an amount of $5,947.85; at the Water bury Savings Bank, deposit of $6,020.46 is listed under the name of Joseph Josiniski; at the West Side Savings Bank deposit of ST. 623.51 is listed under the name Of Joseph Josenas; at the Merchants Trust Co. a deposit of $3,5o9.6o is listed under the name of Joe Joz- i nos; at the Waterbury National Bank, 8 deposit of $1,250 is listed under the name of Joe JozenaS.

 It was believed that an acceptance of the peace plan as 8 basis for negotiation would be on it's way to Paris and London tonight.
 In the case, Baron Pompeo AloiSi, Italy's chief league delegate, prob- ably will leave for Geneva at once to conduct preliminary negotiations under Mussolini's instructions.
 Official copies of the French Brit ish plan as finally revised arrived at the French and British embassies this morning.
 Code clerks went to work deciph- ering them and the foreign office awaited word that either Count Charles De Chambrun, French am- bassador, or Sir Eric Drummond, British Ambassador, or both, want ed an appointment to deliver them to Mussolini.
 It was believed that Mussolini already knew them in essence. May Corner Mussolini
 Italians fear mainly that the pro- posals may be whittled down later to point that would give Mussolini no choice but to reject them as un- acceptable.
 There was considerable surprise last night as the news that the Bri- tish House of Commons was debat- ing the peace plan even before it reached Italy.
 But as Eden briefly outlined it. the plan was regarded as not un- favorable. There was no objection to league aid to Ethiopia provided Italy played an important role.
 If negotiations prove possible. it is forecast that they will be held either in northern Italy or in Switz- erland, with Mussolini. Premier Pier re Laval of France and Sir Samuel Hoare of Great Britain as Chief negotiators.
 Atmosphere Better
 In any event, the atmosphere here was notably betted.
 Newspapers have ceased their ate tack againct Britain and Italian correspondents at Paris. London and Geneva are giving the impression that Britain has adopted Q new concilitatory policy. hence that the peace pla nwill make important con- cesBions to Italy.

 DECISION QUOTED
 Even if it were so that the charter and statutory provisions here were repugnant, it would be necessary to hold that the specific provisions of the latter relating to the office of registrar were to be followed rather than the pro- visions of the former relating to elective officers generally.

Ar sona1 School District v. Hartford, 120 Conn. 34s, S63, 18O Att. 51L We may add that the word 'va- cancy" as used in speaking of the office of mayor i'm section 24 of the charter, and the word "va- cant" as used fin the rescript of Post v. Dillane, 119 Conn. 655, 667, 17S Att 595, to which our attention is called, are not de- terminative of the question raised i'm the present case and were not used in the sense in- tended by the charter and statu- tory provisions which we have dis- cussed. In that rescript we were applying the provisions of section 70S of the General Statutes which require the court, upon the finding of due cause. to declare the office of registrar or deputy registrar ''vacant." This Is mere Iy the equivalent of saying that the incumbent has been removed from ofIiee, which must then be filled Gas required by law" This is the removal" referred Co in section Sel, which then provides lh terms for 6 success0r.

make provision for these rebates and inasmuch as all but about $20,000 of the $1 ,859, 900 collected in liquor tax es and fees from July l to Nov. l has been turned back to the sep arate municipalities, there remained no legal fund from which to pay the refunds.
 Daly outlined the unprecedented action of the legislature in full, and in his opinion, said in part:
 "That because of the failure o1 the general assembly to actually au- thorize the payments, resultingly the rebates and refunds have not been authorized. This unfortunate situation may be cured, however, by legislative action at the next gen. eral assembly,"
 No Provision to Pay
 While the amended liquor con- trol act provided for return or the fees paid for the twilight period" permits, it did not reveal how the payments should be made, rom what fund, or authorize the comp troller to draw checks upon the State treasury for that purpose.
 Swartz has been beseigeo TOT months by permit holders. hunoreos of whom have written him regular ly demanding return of their tenn norary fees. and making insinuations against the conduct of the state m handling the licenses.
 One permittee complained he was unable to cancel his bond unfn l get my money back from the state.
 The next session of the legislature does not convene until early in Jan- uary, 1887.
 First Disagreement
 When the 1884 permits expired July 1, a disagreement arose as to whether the licenses could be con- tinued in force until Sept. l, under the old fee system.
 An opinion was sought rom tne attorney general, inasmuch as the rates had been revised in view or the localized sale of liquor py the drink 1n many places, and the re- vision of the statutes as affecteo package stores, drug stores and tav- erns.
 At that time DaIy ruled an exten- sion of the original licenses. Recall ing that those engaged in sale or beer, wine and liquor, ahouid not be

prepared to defend its course Stoutly.
 Success for the plan, in the end, is not certain. Either Ethiopia or the league may reject it.
 Rejection by any of the three par ties would start the league on pen alties again.
 But Great Britain would be strengthened because it has made a great effort to settle the Italian Ethiopian war and prevent 8 war in Europe.
 The French British program was perfected last night after telephone conversations between London and Paris, Premier Laval at once for warded it to Mussolini.
 Anthony Eden, minister for league affairs, leaves for Paris to- day. He will join Laval and they will go to Geneva together.
 Mussolini is expected at the same time to send Baron Pompeo Aloisi, to join them in Geneva.
 League Meets Thursday
 The leagues general staff, a com mittee of IS nations named to lead the penalties program, meets to- morrow. The league council meets December IT - if not before.
 The general staff meeting was called to name a date for an em- bargo on oil, coal, iron and steel perhaps also cotton and copper - against Italy.
 An intimation from Mussolini that he will even discuss the plan will alter the whole course of the league meeting.
 It is expected that if he accepts all talk of an oil embargo will be deferred indefinitely.
 Outlook at Present
 Reports from Paris, said Mussolini has already intimated to Laval, prob ably by telephone, that he will &C., cept the plan for discussion.
 Ethiopia and the league come next. There is a belief here that Emperor Halle Selassie will accept it. He had already said he would make sacrifices in order to preserve or restore peace.
 British conservative opinion seems to be that the French-BritiSh plan, if Mussolini and the others accept it, will be victory for peace, rather than for Italy.
 Today it was believed here that if MusSolini accepted the plan as a negotiatory basis, and Emperor Halle Selassie also agreed to talk it over, hostilities in East Africa migh cease at once with the beginning of formal negotiations.
 Proceedings Secret
 Just what has gone on in the last week may never be known. Did Bri- tain and France read in MuSSolinl'S $ mind desire for peace, with only one month to go before the begin ming of little" rainy season Did Britain doubt that the oil embargo could be imposed because the United States and Venezuela would not par ticipate? Did Britain and France doubt each others position in event of an emergency? Did Britain and France decide that Italy would be forced to go to war if they declared an oil embargo and enforced it, and precipitate 8 situation in which a World War ally would face, inevit- ably, hopelessly, fight against odds far more overwhelming than Ethi- opia faced against Italy Did they decide that it was time to get back to peace, to bring Germany back into the league and to effect a French German-British agreement to limit land, sea and air arma- ments? Did Japan's new course in China and its demands before the current naval conference enter into Britain's considerations?

 The survey also revealed 3606 per- sons asked electrical service and were willing to pay at least s a month. The construction of 1903 miles of extension lines at cost of $1, ,801, ,O89 would serve these con- sumers, who annually would return $212,617 in revenue.
 Of the 3606, 1t was estimated 1884 could be reached through construc- tion of but 332 miles of lines, cost ing $663. .715, and the annual return would amount to $118,837.
 The Washington recommendation deals mainly with the last named figures, pointing out that the 1884 consumers have a density of five or more a mile and would return an annual revenue of $240 or more per mile.
 State or federal loans to consum- CTS was suggested to cover wiring installations, where necessary.

DIR. BLOODGOOD, CANCER EXPERT,
 DIES AT HOME
Nationally Famous Man, of Johns Hopkins Hos
 pital, Passes

BALTIMORE Maryland, Oct, B. pr. Joseph c. Bloodgood, nationally famous as a cancer expert at the Johns Hopkins Hospital, died last night at his home here as the result of coronary thrombosis. He would have been 68 years old had he lived to November 1.
 Marshal of the forces of both science and enlightenment in the war on one of the most fearsome modern causes of death. cancer, pr. Bloodgood was member of a notable group of physicians and surgeons whose accomplishments made the hospital and medical school of Johns Hopkins University known around the world.
 He was more widely known than others of the group-which included Dr. J. M. T. Finney, pr. William T. Halstead, pr. William H. Welch, Dr.. Hugh H. Wound and Dr. Edward A. Kelley--because of the chief weapon he used in the war that he directed for years. He wielded publicity, and particularly newspaper publicity, as the best means of checking cancer. He found that it educated the public to have medical examinations made immediately on the appearance of fany symptom that might herald ap- proach of the dread disease.
 Fought False Cures"
 As spokesman for the American So- ciety for the Prevention of Cancer, which he helped; found in 1913. it was his task to puncture claims made for baseless or fraudulent cures" of the malady. The society aimed to edu- cate the public on the nature. con- trol and prevalence of cancer, and pr. Bloodgood always emphasized that too much was spent searching for cures and not enough on research for causes and prevention.
 His addresses were made at medi- cal association meetings in all parts of the United States and also abroad. Always they were given to the press, chiefly through the Chemical Foun- dation whose president, Francis P. Carvan, was a staunch ally with both effort and money in the fight that pr. Bloodgood waged.
