French reinforce border guards to
preUent insurgent attempt to re-
lease him from French custody.
By the Associs ted Press.
BAYONNE. France, September 23-
Maj. Julian Troncoso and seven other
suspected participants in a plot to
seize a Spanish government subma-
rine were taken to Brest today for
further investigation.
1t was at Brest last Saturday night
that band of men tried to take the
submarine CO, which had just been re-
paired at the docks there and was
ready for sea duty again. French au-
thorities claimed they wanted TO put
the boat into service of the Spanish
insurgents.
Maj. Troncoso is Spanish insurgent
officer OF the others taken to Brest
with him, six were Spaniards and the
other was Frenchman.
Investigating magistrates reported
that two members of the raiding band
who escaped across the frontier into
insurgent Spain were Marquis de Ii
mares and Marquis Rafael de Mar
vailles.
At Brest French authorities were
holding the captain of the c., as well
as the captain of the Spanish govern
ment submarine CA. which had put
into port last Saturday for repairs.
The border between France and in.
surgent Spain remained quiet, although
both sides were heavily patrolled by
troops.
The arrest Of Troncoso, one of Gen.
eralissimo Francisco Francois militar,
| governors, created a diplomatic un.
easiness between insurgent Spain anc
France.
Seven to BE Expelled.
1nsurgent officials at the frontier an.
nounced that seven Frenchmen a
insurgent-held San Sebastian and Irur
would be expelled to France today. In
surgents declined to say whether thi
was a reprisal for Troncoso's arrest.
They predicted that the interna.
| tional complications. including an in,
surgent order OBTAINING the French
| Consul at Malaga, would be smoothee
over as soon as French officials "recog.
nize Troncoso's good faith" in the at.
tempt at Brest last Saturday to com.
mandeer the submarine CO. One O.
| the boarding party was killed wher
seamen on the CO opened fire, frus-
trating the plot.
Admits Authoring Scheme.
Troncoso admitted authorship of thu
daring scheme, Investigators said, bu
denied he was in Brest at the time
French police asserted, however, tht
major had been identified as the raie
leader from a photograph flown Il

Strawn OF Chicago asserted yesterday
President Roosevelt's scathing criti-
cism Of the Supreme Court and the
attitude OF the administration toward

Strawn, former president Of the
American Bar Association and the
United States Chamber of Commerce,
spoke at . Chamber of Commerce
forum.
He termed President Roosevelt's
court reorganization plan "a short cut
to dictatorship"

the right to own and possess property
believes that sit-down strikers are
anything but lawless trespAssers," he
said. yet encouraged by the tacit

1881, 1882 and much Of 1888 to get It.
They spoke clearly for it. Constitu-
tional lawyers approved 1t. Then the
Supreme Court took 1t away. The
most brilliant members Of the court
said Let them have it. The
most numerous members Of the court
said 1t must be taken away II times

to Aid Wheat Growers
Sent to House.

bill headed for the House today bear
ing the approval Of the Senate.

miums would vary by localities, de-
pending on average production over .

leasing it in periods of shortage.

gested by President Roosevelt whereby
new blood would be infused into the
court, Is the mildest plan for dealing
with the present situation that has
been suggested. Regrettably Senator
Glass in his radio address added moth
ing to the argument as to what i
the best plan Of meeting the patent
needs of the country. He simply de-
nounced.
II he can become 80 enraged in de-
nouncing the reorganization plan,
what does he think Of the amendment
of the Senator from Montana Authoriz-
ing Congress to pass finally on consti-
tutional questions involved in legis-
lation? What has he to say OF the
amendment requiring . 7-to-2 major
ity in the court to invalidate stat
ute? These and many others Of the
more than 80 constitutional amend
ments introduced in the two Houses Of
Congress during the present session do
detract materially from the power Of
the court. Some Of them would prac-
tically take away the right Of judicial
review as to constitutionality Of legis-
lAtion.
The brilliant Senator from Virginia,
Mr.. Glass. in 1890 took . position on
the subject similar to that occupied
by the Senator from Idaho.
In the Congressional Record OF Feb
ruary Is, 1880, (Vol. 72):
"Mr. Glass" The Supreme
Court in recent years has gone far
afield from it's original function and
has constituted itself court In eco
nomics and in the determination Of
social questions rather than in the in
terretation of statutes passed with
reference to the Constitution ITSELF"

EXONERATION OF.
 DRUNK SCORED.
Too Intoxicated to Know He Had Killed Father,
 His Son

Boston, Nov. l9.-(UP)-Legal and religious leaders joined today in criticizing Superior Judge John E. swift,s acquittal of motorist whose automobile killed two persons on grounds the man was "too drunk" to be guilty of manslaughter or hit-run driving. The motorist, Joseph F. Curry, 4i, was fined $200 each on drunken driving and reckless driving charges after his automobile killed Henry Rousseau, 26, and his son Henry Jr., 3, on Q Lowell street last August 2. Judge Swift ruled that Curry would have to know what he was doing to be guilty on the other two counts.
 Latest comment came from: Pro- lessor Sam B. Warner, Harvard Law school: "The logic of Judge 5wifts decision would seem to be that if one must drive recklessly, by all means become completely intoxicat- ed first SO as to avoid the danger of conviction for manslaughter,"
 Braln-Walved Mistake
 The Rev, Cafl Heatn hopI, MounI Vernon church: "That was not only a jury.waived session; 1t was Q brain- waived mistake, putting e damnable premium on driving when you are punch drunk. The drunker you are, the less guilty you are."
 U. s. Commissioner Richard B. Walsh, president of the Lowell Bar association: T have always thought that drunkenness was no excuse for ones actions"
 Motor Vehicle Registrar Frank A. Goodwin: T have taken away Cur. ry's license and I'll take his regis. tration plates. He'll never get any of them as long as I am registrar"
 Mrs. Marie Rousseau, widow and mother of the victims: Judging by what the court did, you can just get drunk and 60 out and kill! every. body and get away with 1t for c $4o0 fine. My God, that's not enough"
 Neither Judge Swift nor Curry would comment.

New Haven Railroad and the Vest ern Union.
 Jere J. Mccarthy, sergeant of the New Haven Railroad police, told of receiving the complaint and find- ing the wires were cut and stolen. MT. Mariabello told the court the boys had been bringing junk to him constantly and that on the after noon of October 13 they had sold him the copper wires, He said he asked him if the wire had been stolen and when Navikauckas said he had found the wire, he bought 1t.
 Dealer Censured
 Later Judge John P. McDonough censured Mariabello for buying the wire before he had made certain it was not stolen. Lieutenant McEl- ligott of the Waterbury police said he found Q pliers in the car which the young men used and testified to their arrest on October 16.
 J. Picard of the Western Union Company Identified the copper wire as the type used by his company and the railroad. He said 1t was at 8 height the boys could reach by "Shinnying" up the pole. Herbert M. Bachelor of the New Haven Railroad company also testified,
 The boys story was they found the copper wire in the Railroad Hill section of Waterbury while hunting for junk. They said the pliers were used for work on the auto but Prosecutor Attorney Joseph E. Tal- bot brought out the fact the pliers were much larger than the usual auto pliers.
 They were arrested ysterday and turned over to Chief of Police John A. Adamson and Patrolman Mar tin Garrick. Each young man is to pay $ls.e2 costs in addition to the jail sentence,

Naueatuck, November l9. - Three Waterbury young men were each sentenced to 60 days in New Haven County Jail today after they were found guilty of stealing 10 strands of copper wire, each strand about 100 feet long, from the Western Union line near the arch in Nau- gatuck.
 Each of the three was sentenced to 90 days on Q charge of theft and 90 days on 6 charge of injury to private property, the sentences to run consecutlvely. Each had plead- cd not guilty to both counts.
 The young men were Xavier Nair- kuckas of 27 North Leonard street, Waterbury, 20; Donald Lunkitis of <So South wilson street, Waterbury, l9; and Angelo Colasurdo, l9, ot 24 Charles street, Waterbury.
 Testimony showed that the cop per wire, about 38 pounds, had a total value of $5.70 but 1t cost the Western Union Company $52.25 to replace 1t in labor and materials.
 Received $2.2S
 Gabriel Mariabello of Carver street, Waterbury junk dealer whose business lis on South Leon- ard street, Waterbury said he paid Navickauckas at the rate of six cents . pound for 1t or total of $2.28.
 It was brought out that the wire was cut apparently by pliers on Oc- tober l3 and that this disrupted important wire service between Boston and New York, including the Associated Press News service, and stock market reports.
 William Wylie, lineman for the Western Union Company told of finding the ten wire cut on the afternoon of october l3 and that they were No. 0 grade of copper wire, a special type used by the
