person who might be suspected. Police therefore turned to c hunt for Q casual prOwler who might have found the apartment door loose, or gained entrance by Q rlse. That theory made it dimcult to ex- plain why c valuable platinum and diamond ring that Mrs. Titterton wore was not taken. Apparently no attempt had been made to remove it.
 Single Finger Print
 A single finger print found on the bathroom wall gave no immediate clue to the killer, but was the most valued discovery in the apartment. It had not been made by Mrs. Tit- terton or her husband.
 The homicide squad, using new methods, hoped to find and develop to visibility a finger print on Mrs. Titterton's clothing. Under favor able circumstances, they said, new chemical processes might produce visible prints on the satin of her torn braSsiere, her shoes, or even less likely pieces.
 Mrs. Titterton had been working on a novel for the Story Press, and pieces of her manuscript were scat tered about the apartment. She was successful writer, having sold short stories regularly since she graduated from Antioch College. She was a daughter of MT. and Mrs. Frank Evans of Dayton, O. She and Titterton were married in New York in 1929.

lege, preparatory school and finishing school students home for Easter, as well as many now living out-of-town who have come back to spend the weekend with their families.
 Each train last night and today from north and south brought to Waterbury more former residents and visitors here for Easter. But on the other hand, many Brass City residents are either spending the weekend in New York or will leave on the New Haven railroad excursion tomorrow morning to join in the fashion parade on Fifth avenue in New York.
 Trends in clothes for 1896, mems and women's retailers say, show that Waterbury's spirits are lighter than in several years. Lighter and bright CT colors have been chosen, even by men; patterns are more pronounced and gayer in their effects. Tastes in clothing this spring have run far from the somber of the past several seasons, merchants claim.

 Calls Daniels Fine Man
 The possibility that his deporta- ton might cause an uprising in Mexico were dispelled by Gales with 8 shrug.
 T am an old man. I have been retired from politics long time. My exile cannot bring an armed move ment. If there are any revolutionary movements they will answer to more justified causes"
 He declined comment on the re- ligious controversy in Mexico or on activities of United States ambas- sador Josephus Daniels, except to say Daniels in "a very fine man.. Gales emphasized that he is out of Mexican politics forever with the Spanish word "absolutamente," :" which he spoke determinedly.
 Gales said he was not surprised at his deportation, but that it came at an entirely unexpected moment. He had himself deported many ene- mics for lesser offenses than he has committed against the Cardenas re- gime.

 The letters are from school boys and professional men, housewives and girls in their teens, all anxious to get just some little item to retain as a keepsake.
 What They Want
 One woman wants an old law book or a Bible. Another desires a vase for her beauty parlor.
 One man sent Q blank check with the request that some article of furniture be purchased for him. Although nothing will be sold in ad- vance of the auction, an attempt will be made to meet all requests at the time of the sale.
 All the goods to go into auction have been stored since the middle of last November when Mrs. Cool idge closed the "Beeches" for the winter. The quantity represents only a fraction of the furnishings in the "Beeches"-just enough to fill i've ton moving van. But there will be sufficient to make 8 good auction.
 Smith School Arena
 The sale will be held in the Smith School Arena, 8 spacious building about two miles from Northamp- tons business center. The auction

would graduate up to 6 per cent in @ few years.
 The revision proposals are still nebulous, 1t was said. One sugges- ton was that the tax hikes be spread over more years. Another was that the old age pension levy be delayed in effectiveness. Under the latter no pensions would be available until l042.
 Meanwhile, the ways and means committee found itself unable to assure President Roosevelt of his requested first year new revenue of s7o2, 100000 for budget aid psir- poses. It was discovered that 6 lag was certain to occur in corporation dividend payments under the indis- trihuted profits tax plan because individuals with increased dividend income would not pay the expected additional taxes the first year.

 The auction list is what might be termed @ cross section of articles usually found in an American home. It includes such simple articles as canning jars and pickle crooks, china, glassware, photograph rec ords and bric-a-brac.
 There also are articles which as- sune large proportions and take the form of furniture for various uses.
 Solid Mahogany Set
 There are two dining room sets, one in solid mahogany used at the "Beeches," the other in oak and used when the Coolidges first start ed housekeeping. There is also an oaken bedroom suite with the great high-backed bed so popular in the gay nineties.
 Among the items which appeal to the public fancy is 8 mahogany desk used by Mrs. Coolidge while she was an instructor at the Clark School for the Deaf in Northamp- ton.
 Oak B0OkshelveS
 Another item is 8 set of oak book shelves used by MT. Coolidge while he was a student at Amherst Col lege. There is also a mission desk and chair used by MT. Coolidge while he lived at 21 Massasoit street and another chair and desk in solid mahogany used by him at the "Beeches."
 One piece that is destined to bring top price is cradle con- structed in homely fashion by MT. Coolidge's father. An attempt has been made to identify this as the cradle which rocked the late presi- dent but thus far the attempt has not met with success.

 ment insurance. The act imposes 8 tax, effective during the next cal- endar year to raise $278, 100000 for contributory old age pensions.
 Graduate Upward
 The two taxes, under the act, graduate upward until by 1850 indus try and workers would be contribut- ing 8 9 per cent payroll levy for se- curity purposes, or approximately g, FOG, 900, 900 annually.
 Representatives of business, in op- posing the $799, 9,000,00 budget tax bill before the house ways and means committee, said the security taxes would impose heavy burden on industry, and that the double imposition of the proposed profits levy would seriously affect the financial status of many.
 The profits tax, as agreed on ten- tatively by ways and means com mittee democrats, is intended to force corporations to pay increased dividends, instead of piling up large partially untaxable reserves. The social security act requires companies to set aside from this years payroll for unemployment in- surance programs one per cent of the total wages paid. A credit of 90 per cent of this tax is allowed where state has an acceptable url- employment insurance system. The tax is not due to the federal govern ment until next January. In 1937 it would rise to two per cent and reach thereafter straight three per cent level.
 Old Age Pension Feature
 The contributory old age pension feature of the act imposes a two per cent payroll levy--half paid by employe-on wages paid in 1887. This lcvy-share and share alike

LEAGUERS FIND ITALIAN OIL
EMBARGO WOULD BE- FUTILE

oil on hand to last from six to
nine months, which would delay
effectiveness of an embargo for a
long time.
A subcommittee reported that
Italy can produce some 10000
tons of oil substitutes annually,
but this is a small part of her
total needs.
The oil committee is expected
to complete its work next week
and circulate it's report to men,
bers of the League, and, possibly,
to non-League powers concerned
like the United States. The next
step would be for the League
committee of 18--the sanctions
general staff"-to meet and de-
eide if date should be fixed for
application of an oil embargo.
The majority of observers be-
lieve that no embargo will be ap-
piled. Their reasons: (1) The be-
lief the United States will contin-
ue exports to Italy; (2) because
Great Britain, France and other
European powers are reluctant to
aepravate Italy and fourther COM
plicate the Italo- ethiopian situa-
ton at a time they are becoming
increasingly worried over Ger
many's intentions to expand.

PEACE-IN-EUROPE FARLEY
ATIONDON SEEMS ASSURED

Italy would readily participate in
such a conference, because she,
in common with Germany, feels
she has been sighted in partici-
patton in colonies and sources of
raw materials in the World war
peace conferences. 1t was in these
conferences that Germany was de-
nuded of her colonial possessions
for which she has made loud
demands recently.
In that connection, it is inter-
esting to note an Italian propa-
ganda pamphlet which contends
that Italy received only lOO,OOO
square kilometers of colonial ter
ritory as one of the victors of the
World war, while Britain received
100000 with 100000 popula-
ton: France, $4,000 with T.
100000 population, and Belgium
rich African territories with
100000 population.
Germany's demand for return
of her colonies has been increas-
inglv insistent. in recent weeks
and may find opportunity, at least
for partial satisfaction, at the
nroposed conference. 1t is believ-
ed Germany will readily agree to
attend, although Chancellor Adolf
Hitler thus far hasn't been invit-
ed or sounded. 4 .'','

GENEVA, Feb. 8. (UP)-
League of Nations hopes for an
effective oil embargo against
Italy, to stop her war against
Ethiopia, dimmed last night. The
League committee of oil experts
adopted a report of its sub-com-
mittee on transport indicating a
ban on shipmentl Of oil to Italy
would be futile.
Investigators found that Italy
possesses enough tank steamers
to carry from the uhited States,
or other non-League nations, suf-
ficient oil for her needs.
The committee of experts will
continue to study Italy's oil i'm
ports, consumption and existing
stocks to determine if a League
embargo on exports of oil to Italy
might nevertheless prove effec-
tive. An embargo on exports,
however, faces these serious OBJ
stacles:
l. The United States, it now
appears, is unlikely to restrict oil
exports, making it probable that
League nations like Russia and
Roumania may refuse to stop eX-
ports to Italy.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 8. (UP)
Former Vice President Charles
Curtis died here at 1925 a. m.
today. His physician said his
death was due to heart trouble.
He was 76 years old, and had
climaxed his long career in con-
gress with his election as vice
president in 1928 with President
Hoover. He had served seven
terms in the house of representa-
tives from Kansas, being first
elected in 1893.
In 1907 he was elected to serve
the unexpired term of Senator j.
r. Burton, resigned and gave up
his house seat to serve in the sem
ate. He was reelected to the sem
ate for four successive six-year
terms. During his fourth term he
was chosen as Hoover's running
mate.
AIDED INDIANS
Curtis was born January 25.
1860, in what is now North Tope-
ka, Kans., of: parents who were
among that states earliest set
tiers. His father was Oren A.
Curtis, native of Indiana, who
was a captain in the Union Army
during the Civil war; and his
mother, Helen Pappan, descend
ant. of. a French Canadian trap
per and a half-Indian girl.
Through her, Curtis descended
from two famous Indian chiefs,
White Plume, chief Of the Kan
sas Tribe, and Pawhuska, chief OF
the Usage Tribe. .,.
The youth began riding when
eight years old, and became ia
nous as a jockey at the. age of
16. In 1877 he got a job as re-
porter on the North Topeka
Times, at which he worked inter-
mittently for two years. In 1879,
Curtis took up the study of law,
reading in the office, of the late
A. H. Case, a Kansas attorney.
He drove a hack to earn money
in the meantime, and in 1881, at
the age of Fl, was admitted to
the bar. -. ~.
Curtis married Annie E. Baird
of Topeka in 1884. He has three
children, Harry, Permelia and
Leona, all married. A sister, Mrs.
Elizabeth Colvin, resides in Tope-
ka. A half-sister, Mrs. Edward
Everett Gam wife of a Washing
ton attorney, was his official hos.
tess in Washington during his
tenure of office. .,........ .-.....
