 With regard to whag sort of policy is likely to be adopted by the United States and other foreign powers the only thing that can be pointed out with safety is a trend. This trend in the direction of concerted action to quarantine" Japan has been unmistakable since the Presi- dents speech.
 Will it lead to action that can actually stop Japan? What seems likely now is that a conference of the Nine-Power treaty signatories will first attempt, by further yer bal denunciations of the war, to persuade the two nations to cease fighting.
 Can we expect much more? The

" A R ROMANCE
HAS TRAGIC END
IN LAKE DEATH
Letter Shows Sister Of
Victim His Mother

CHICAGO. Sept. 10 Q.N.SO.
Between the lines Of a prosalc
coroner's report today was traced
the story of a tragic wartime TO-
nance and its equally bitter
sequel.
It was a story that began in the
tempestuous early days of the war
and ended early last month when
a William G. Hutton, 20, drowned
in Lake Michigan.
LETTERS TRAGIC
At the inquest yesterday they
called John Lanacho. who owned
the rooning house in which Hut
ton lived. Lanacho testified that
Hutton was studiouS, lonely
youth. who had brooded over the
identity of his unknown parents.
Several days after Hutton dis
appeared two letters arrived for
him and Lanacho said he had
opened them. in the hope of dis
covering what had happened to
the youth.
Then he remailed them to the
writer. Mrs. Margaret B. Wilker-
son, of Harrisonburg. Va. Hutton
had believed her to be his sister,
but the letters, Lanacho said, re-
vealed she was his mother, al
though only II years older.
PAST REVEALED
Apparently written after much
pleading by the youth, the letters
stated that his father was an
English army officer, who had
been sent to this country to train
troops after Americas entry into
the war. Feted by the Virginia
bellies, the officer fell in love with
one and they we're married.
II was teaching school then"
Lanacho recalled Mrs. Hender-
son writing" Your father was
called back to the front and I
never heard from him after
ward. I think you are old
enough now to know this"

Behind The Lines
American Legion

1AA1ASA ASeAbs ~SSEJ A~A
 New Haven will be the scene of the 1897 annual convention of the Connecticut Department, American Legion, while New York city will be the mobilization point of the units and delegates to the national convention.
 In anticipation of playing a leading role in both sessions, Corporal Frank Coyle post, local legion unit, is rapidly increasing its membership. Under the guid- ance of Commander Michael J. GaIulIo the post is nearing its quota for the year. If enthusi- astic work brings its reward Com mander Galullo will have the thrill of reporting to the state depart Inent that Waterbury not only did itself well, but exceeded anticipa- tiOns.
 The post has approximately 150 members paid up for 1936-37. A score or more of its old reliables will be added to the roll during the next two weeks, which will place the post in g pOsitoin to be recognized as among the leading units of the state.
 The national convention i'm New York city will be one of the great est in history. Waterbury legi0n- naires have already entered into negotiations for headquarters. The post is sending a delegation to parade on Fifth avenue, with its own drum corps heading the procession.

NEGRO PORTER IS
 FIGHTING CHAIR

New York, Feb. 10-(UP)-The state brings the results of scienti- fic research into Queens county court today to strengthen its at tempt to send Major Green, 33-year- old negro porter, to the electric chair for the bathtub staying of Mrs. Mary Harriet Case.
 Defense attorneys admitted the wiry, illiterate negro's guilt, but defied the state to prove that his crime was first degree murder and therefore, punishable by death.
 Dr. Alexander o. Gettler, city toxicologist, is expected to be a na- jor witness today. He will testify about tests for blood and other chemical studies made during the murder investigation.
 Chief Assistant District Attorney James J. Conroy told the jury that the state would prove that Green committed a "heinouS, vicious, atro- cious, cold-blooded murder" and that he was guilty mot only beyond reasonable doubt, but beyond any doubt"

Report Exaggerated

A similarity of names led today to one of those rare occasions whel; a man has q chance to read his own obituary notice. And, like Mark Twain, he can say: "The report of my death is greatly ex- aggerated".
 A morning paper here today an nounced the death of Charles 5. SheIvey, former vaudeville aero bat and gaCe a resume of his career not of the dead man, but his nephew, Charles s. Shelyey, Of this city and New York.
 The Charles Shelvey who passed away last night retired from the stage more than 20 years ago, while the maI. whose obituary IS given left the stage in 1925, after having been seriously injured dur ing a performance.
 The Charles Shelvey who died was a member of the team of SheIvey Brothers, consisting of himself and his brother, the late Matt Shelvey. The Charles SheI- vey whose obituary was printed entered vaudeville years later, with his brothers.
