Miller Was Better
Then this summer came Feather
weight Champion Freddy Miller to
have his crown lifted by Peter
Sarron. Miller showed far better
as a member of the royal family OF
fistiana than did Canzoneri year
previous. Yet, even in Miller'S des-
perate stand against the Flying
Syrian Petey Sarron, there was
something left to be desired.
Now approaches Barney Ross
with an opportunity to convert
WaShingtonians to be big names
of the sport, and I have seen
enough Of the little Chicago He
brew to feel that Ross is going to
make lot of friends here tonight
in his go with Phil FUR.
I saw Ross win and lose to
Jimmy McLarnin in the spring
and fall of 1884 in those stirring,
twin 16-round title bouts, and in
deed, the margin of victory in
both bouts was so close that it
would about take a Portia to pass
Judgment as to the actual winner.
Made Impression
Those fights branded Barney
Ross in my mind as a hard, fast
worker who gave so seconds Of
Eneritorious fighting for every min
ute he was in the ring. His record
for action in his bouts previous
thereto, as well as those of the
past 20 months, recommend him
as a workman who wades into his
foe with the idea of making as
short work of him as possible.
think when you see Barney
Ross tonight, you will forget all
about such champions as CAMEO
nert happened to be the night he
fought Kick here, as well as
Freddy Miller, who didn't seem to
know how to unravel Petey Sarron.
It is quite unnecessary to re-

ROOSEVELT WANTS
SOFT COAL BILL
Lewis Says President Ap-
proves Temporary Act
for Industry.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
President RooSevelt's approval OF a
temporary substitute for the nvan-
dated Guffey coal act, is claimed by
John L. Lewis, president of the United
Mine Workers, who conferred with the
Chief Executive at the White House
yesterday.
Lewis told reporters:
1T is the Presidents viewpoint that
while the new Guffey-Vinson bill may
not rightfully be considered must
legislation, he is definitely of the opin-
ion that a bill of this character Is
necessary to maintain the temporary
stabilization of the soft coal industry
pending the working out of a per-
manent reform by Congress"
The House Ways and Means Com
mittee Tuesday reported out the meas
ure. Five Republican members of the
committee who voted against the bill
last night made public minority re-
port, baSing part of their objection on
the price-fiXing provisions OF the
Guffey-Vinson measure.
I'VE think" the minority members
said, 1T is unwholesome and not IN
accord with democratic government TO
give special interests the monopolistic
power to fix their own minimum
prices, which the public will be re-
quired to pay. Nor is there any spe-
cial reason why one group should have
this privilege and another not have it.
IF coal operators are given Govern
ment sanction to fix prices and en-
orce their DEGREES against dissenting
operators, why should not the farmers
of the country have the same priv
ilege? Why should not the textile
manufacturers, the shoe manufac-
turers, the oil operators and others be
given similar monopolistic privileges?'

definitely allied with the Townsend
group, the Louisianan has been one OF
the most active statement-issuers

IT am convinced that the decision
of the Townsend inquisitorial COM
mittee, headed by Bell, is a scneme
to keep Townsend and me from hold
ing big protest mass meeting in Bells

Smith said.
IF the committee should hold DR..
Townsend in Washington by force, I
shall 60 to Kansas City myself and
recite the facts concerning this dicta-
torship that has been set up in WASH

For the present, the real issue is

DAVIS SAYS A. A. A.
MUST BE CONTINUED
Administrator Also Declares More
Reciprocal Trade Treaties
Must Be Created.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated PreSS.
NEW YORK, May 28-Chester c.
Davis, agricultural adjustment admin
istrator, said today that "the A. A. A.
must continue and with it there must
be the creating of more reciprocal
trade treaties"
Davis arrived on the liner Wash
ington from Europe. where he has
been making an investigation of econ
omic conditions, particularly as they
affect American farm exports.
Il visited four Of the countries with
which we have recently concluded
reciprocal trade agreements" he said.
The men in government and busi-
ness with whom talked expect a
revival in trade with us to result
from these agreements. But progress
is likely to be slow, and in the mean
time our national farm plant and
acreage stand about where they stood
when our farm export trade was at its
peak"
Davis continued: I'VE must recog-
nize the fact that our national farm
plant, which was developed in a basis
of heavy export outlets. must be geared
down or up as our exports decrease or
increase.
Since the foreign markets do not
exist right now for our former volume
of exports, adjustment to meet this
! condition is unavoidable.
1T can be made successfully with
public support and fortnight Gov
ernment cooperation. or it will be
made disastrously without them"
Davis and his wife. accompanied by
F. A. Flood, his chief assistant, and
Mrs. Flood, visited II countries. Davis
was given an audience by Mussolini
| and conversed with DR. Hjalmar
Schacht, German minister of finance.

Townsend, may be called with Mar
gett Downey notified the committee
yesterday that he would not testify,
although under subpoena, but, since
he was not called, no contempt action
was directed at him.
Alleged Contempt Listed.
The resolution adopted today listed
three specific actions of alleged con-
tempt:
First was DR.. TownsendS defiant
valkout on the committee.
Second. and considered most impor
tant by come members of the commit
tee. vas his issuance of instructions to
his aides to refuse testimony.
Third was the failure of Wunder
and Kiefer to appear before the
probers.
The committees decision to ask
citation of the doctor and his old-age
revolving pension directors was an
nounced after brief executive session
yesterday afternoon. The action was
taken by a vote of six to two, with
Representatives Bell, Gavagan of New
York, Lucas of Illinois, Otter of Penn
sylvania Hollister of Ohio and Hoff-
man of Michigan supporting and Rep
resentatives Collins and Tolan, both
Of California, dissenting.
Hoffman Prepares Report.
The recommendation for trial in

House was approved by the same
vote after Representative Hoffman
had failed to gain any support for
his motion to have the proceedings
take place in the House.
Kiefer Repeats Defiance.
AS word of the committee action
reached Kiefer in Chicago, he repeated
his defiance.
If they want me, let them come
and get me-" he asserted. Il shall
never appear before the Bell COM
mittee. If that be treason, let Con-
gress make the most of it"

It is only of medium, insofar as the first-mag- nitude stars are concerned, for it's magnitude is such that in the entire list of first-magnitude stars 1t really stands as the fourteenth or fifteenth. But in reality 1t is a much greater star than most of those which pre- cedc 1t in order of apparent bright ness. for its distance is extremely great. The best data at present available makes it's distance to be over three hundred light-years.

Tonight the big stage show at Polls in addition to the regular double screen program is the gala offering of this theater, and the crowds that have been attending on Wednesday evening for the past 40 weeks attest to the popularity of this feature.
 On the screen there is a superb double feature program made Up of Gene Raymond in Love On Bet" and George OBrien in OMalley Of The Mounted.
 Love On A Bet" is a film that rivals the now famous Tt Happened One Night" cinema, 1t has every thing that the other film had and then some, and to those who are lucky enough to sec this film will thrill for long time when 1t Is re- rnembered.
 "OMalley Of The Mounted" is one of those films that all Water bury likes, plenty of action, thrills and comedy, 1t features the unques- toned star George O'Brien. Thursday, tomorrow night will witness the resumption of the most popular innovation that has ever been presented in Waterbury, during the cessation of 1t, there have been thousands of calls asking when 1t would return and here we are glad to be able to anounce, is your treat back, with all the thrills, entertain ment and joy that 1t gave to attend ants at Polls in the past with Fred- die Hall in the role of the master of-ceremonies.

 Hated and scorned, pariah and an outcast, branded as 6 quack, Q charletan and an enemy of man, Pasteur lived to see his work rec ognized and himself acclaimed as the greatest scientist of his age.
 It is this great character that Muni brings to life on the screen.

The eastern evening sky already contains many of the stars which form the spring and summer con- stellations but the heritage from the winter groups still adds to the splendor of the heavens. With the exception of Taurus, which must be observed before o'clock, Orion and all his magnificent companions, to which we have been calling atten- ton for the past few months, are still to be observed at map-time. This is the last month in which Orion will appear on the map, and before long the entire aspect of the heavens will be completely changed. Sirius, the great Dog Star, is now above the southwestern horizon, and higher up is Procyon, the brightest star in the constellation of the Les- ser Dog. The Gemini, Castor and Pollux, lie between the zenith and the eastern horibon. Almost on the meridian and about halfway up over the south point of the south point of the horizon Is the beauti- ful blue-w white star Regulus, the roy al star, the brightest star in the constellation of Leo, the Lion. Re- gulus marks the western end of Leo and at the eastern end lies Dene- bola, the second brightest of the group.
 Close upon Leo follows the wide- spread constellation of Virgo, the virgin goddess of the harvest, rep resented by Ceres in the mythology of classical Rome. Virgo extends a long way, both east and west of Spica, which is the brightest star of the constellation and represents an ear of grain that the goddess

Road Gang, Warner Brothers new and daring expose of prison conditions, comes to the State the ater to-day for a three-day engage ment. It has won animous acclaim from press and public everywhere 1t has played and tops T Am a Fugi- tive" in dramatic forcefulness.
 The scenes depicted in Road Gang" make ones blood boil. It makes one shudder to think that human beings could be subjected to such conditions.
 Yet despite the terrifying aspect of this portion of the picture, the subject itself, as well as the pictur- esque quality of the scenes, makes 1t one of vital interest to everyone. It also is relieved by glowing TO- nance in which 8 girl makes a heroic fight to liberate her lover whom she knows to have been framed by grating political bosses, and convicted and sentenced to the horror of the mines for a crime he had not committed.
 The scenes are mostly laid in two stark, realistic settings, one a prison farm, where prisoners are subjected to medieval tortures, and the other the Blackfoot mines, 50 much worse that men seldom leave the place ex- cept in @ pine box. There are plenty of thrills in these scenes including a terrific battle between prison guards and convicts in the bowels of the earth, the blasting of mine tunnel by prisoners in their effort to escape and their bombardment with ma chine guns and gas bombs.
 Donald Woods, Kay Linaker, Car lyle Moore Jr., and Henry ONeill have the leading roles. The com panion feature Is Soak the Rich, a romantic comedy starring Walter Connolly with John Howard and Mary Taylor. It's packed with laughs and amusing situations.

SECOND SUIT IN.
 RUNAWAY CRASH.
Owner of Residence Part. Iy Wrecked Asks Daml-
 ages of $7,5OO

Another suit based on the mad runaway dash of huge truck and trailer down Southington mountain on the morning of April 24, 1895, has been filed in superior court. The latest action is for $7,500 and is brought by Mrs. Lillian Newell, of Southington, against the Darcey Transportation Co.
 Mrs. Newell seeks to recover for damage done to the building which she owned and which was almost demolished by the runaway truck. The home was occupied at the time by Ralph Story and family.
 The truck, one of several going down the steep grade, suddenly went out of control. At the foot of the mountain, it crashed through a highway fence, struck the one- family home and knocked 1t several feet from it's foundation and then overturned and caught fire. The driver was fatally injured.
 A tenant in the home was re- gently given $4,000 award by a jury in superior court.
