Five Weeks of Three=HOm Shifts Likely to Be Ter. minated By Order From Judge DickensOn in
 Superior COurt-Three PatrOlmen Involved

Friday when the last of the ma- chimes were re-canvassed under the mandamus proceedings of the seven defeated Fusion candidates. At that time. Clerk of Superior Court George H. Freeman, told the head of the Waterbury police that it was his understanding that the machines would remain in custody of the court until an order released them. This order has not been given by the court.
 The policemen who have served as guardians of the machines since Oct. 6, when they were placed in the basement of the county court house, are: Patrolmen John Car mody, Michael Hartnett and Clar- ence Marsella.
 Should Judge Dickenson direct that the machines be turned over to their custodian, Harry Leary, to- morrow, then the three patrolmen will end indoor tours of duty which according to one of them, have been "very" tiresome.

Efficiency of ConnectIcut's state government has been increased in recent years, declared Governor Wilbur L. Cross last night in an ad- dress at the Second Congregational church forum. Speaking on "The reconstruction of the State Govern ment," the governor outlined num- erous advances that have been made.
 The state merit system is one that is envied by other commonwelaths, he declared, since it entirely re- moves state employees from politics The plan, he said, renoyeE partisan ship from the administration ot various state functions.

 Creation of Q state department of public works was Q great forward step, said Governor Cross. He also praised the creation of state pur' . chasing agency, the reorganization Of the Connecticut financial set-up. and the enlargement of the powers held by the governor.
 The 1887 general assembly, he as- serted. had passed some excellent legislation. The major part of his reorganization program was ap- proved by the assembly, he pointed out.

 Artistic Program

Two distinguished artists were heard yesterday afternoon at Buck ingham Hall, presented on this occasion by Miss Esther Blanken- burg. former local concert manager. The artists heard were Rita Orville, soprano and Salvatore de Stefano, world famous harpist. The selection of these two musicians was a happy one. and the programs of both were of a high type. Miss Orville demonstrated voice of great depth, she sang with feeling and technique and her songs were ad- mirably suited to her range. Mir. de 6tefano is unusually skilled in the technique of his instrument. He had Q nice choice of numbers, and was in good form in his solo work as well as in accompanying Miss Oryille.
 Splendid Effects
 Tn her two groups of songs Miss 0ryille was heard in two French songs including Q composition by Delibes and "claiF de Lune." She also sang Reaeh's "Ah Love But Q Day" and selections by Verdi and Mana -Hueea, With harp ace0mpan- imeDt Miss 0FVille sang selections by Rossjni, D0naudy and 6antola' gnld0, Voice and harp numbers were Beautifully done, and the character Of the songs, not so frequently heard, was especially adopted for the voice and harp combination, The R0ssini number, "TaFantella" was aFtisjteally done, as also were "RiHessi" and "Vaghlssima Rembis anga" by ponaudy, En her first group Miss oFVille also sang two German numbers,

Invoking Kellogg Pact in Far East
Reassures South American Nations

nished by that pact to the signatory
power which violated it,
Observers Of foreign affairs agree, to-
day, that this emphatic invocation of
the Kellogg BRAND treaty played an
important role in averting a major war
over Leticia. Latin Americans were
enthusiastic in their approval Of the
position frankly taken by the United
States, and so were they, two years
later, when, upholding the same prin-
ciples, the United States became one
of the guarantors of the Chaco peace
and the consequent remuneration of the
spoils Of that war.
The position Of the most powerful
American nation as a firm supporter
of the peace machinery of the world is,
only naturally. of paramount impor-
tance to the other American republics.
1t is not surprising, therefore, that
they should be pleased to know that
the Government Of the United States
has not altered that position and is
still committed to the doctrine Miat
the pledge involved in the Kellogg
BRAND pact carries with it the duty of
performance
