 "If any does exist or does develop. and I learn of 1t, the sequel is go- ing to be immediate and drastic The department has one interest in you gentlemen-to see that on any work done for the state the state gets a collars value for every dollar expended.

Men Held h Copper Theft Are Bound Ouer
Bonds Set at 5000, Sl,5OO By Judge Mascolo in City Comt-No Defense Testimony Offered at
 Hearing This Morning

George Garter, 35, of 2102 South Main street, and Peter sMcSherry, 38, of 324 Willow street, charged with the theft of large quantity of copper from the warehouse of William Szerlip's Sons, 2000 Thom- aston avenue, were bound over to the September criminal term of su- period court after a hearing before Judge Edward Mascolo in city court today.
 No defense testimony was pre- sented, Judge Mascolo declaring that the state had presented suffi- cient ecidence to establish probable cause. Bonds for Carter's release were set at $3,00O and for McSherry at $1,5OO.
 The copper, stolen over the Me- morial Day weekend, had a whole sale value of $740 and a retail value of $950. Two rolls, valued at $33, have been recovered by police.
 Andrew K. Stohl, a dealer in sheet metal, testified that Carter sold him two strips of copper for $26.24 last week, and promised to sell him a larger quantity the next day. Car ter was sent to him, he said, by Me- Sherry, with whom he had been friendly for some years.
 The copper sold to MT. Stohl was identified this morning by John Jackson, manager of the Szerlip concern, as part of the metal stolen.
 The only other state witness was Detective-Lieutenant William Foley, who said that McSherry had denied knowing the metal was stolen and had arranged the transaction with Mr. Stohl only as favor for Carter.
 The hearing was marked by a verbal clash between MT. Stohl and Attorney Joseph c. Guilfoile, coun- sel for Carter. Obviously angered at the grilling cross-eXamination to which he was being subjected, MT. Stohl blurted out: "He acts as if I was the one who stole the copper" "
 Attorney Henry w. Minor, ap- bearing for McSherry, asked that a low bond be set for his client. There was no evidence to link McSherry with the theft, he said.
 Judge Mascolo, after fixing bail for McSherry at $500, set Car ter's at twice that figure when in formed that Carter had served a term in states prison. .

Judge Baldwin Grants State Right to Appeal
 His Decision
TWO WEEKS GRANTED
 FOR FILING NOTICE
Supreme Court in Recess Until October; Decision
 Will Set Precedent

Bridgeport, Conn.,, June 15. - CUP) - The state received permission today from Superior Court Judge Alfred c. Baldwin to appeal to the Supreme Court his de- cision permitting a person to inspect the minutes of a grand jury which returned an indictment against him. Judge BaldWin's decision was given in favor of G. Leroy Kemp, former Highway Department appraiser, awaiting trial on charges of conspiring to defraud the state by splitting $86ooo commissions re- ceived from sale of Merritt Park way land in Fairfield County.
 The request for appeal was made by Assistant States Attorney Otto w. Saur who was given two weeks in which to file the notice of appeal.
 Trial Is Delayed
 Inasmuch as the supreme court will be in recess until October it was considered unlikely an opinion could be obtained until December, thus de- laying the trial of Kemp, and eight others indicted on similar charges, until early in 1889.
 The supreme court decision will set precedent for future grand jury procedure and it was believed might have an important bearing on the grand jury deliberations now being conducted at Waterbury into politi- cal and legislative corruption.
 Special Prosecutor Hugh M. AL corn, at Waterbury, however, said he had read Judge Baldwin's deci- sion and, " it doesn't disturb me the slightest degree"
 The decision was handed down preliminary to the trial of G. Leroy Kemp, Republican legislator and Department assessor. &C., cused of conspiring to defraud the state in the Merritt Parkway land deals.
 Because Of it's important bearing in the Kemp case and in the arrests of 31 persons in the Waterbury Extraordinary Grand Jury investi- gation of political corruption, it ap- peared certain that States Attorney Lorin w. Willis would appeal to the Supreme Court.
 Sworn to Secrecy
 Judge Baldwin held that while the Parkway jury was sworn to secrecy in it's deliberations, such secrecy

Wages, Hours Bill Fight Nearly Ouer
President to Affix Signature When Congress Ad journs-Law Will Go Into Effect in l2O Days;
 Ceiling Over Hours, Floor Under Wages
By ALLEN C. DIBBLE United Press Staff COrrespondent)

Washington, June 15-CUP)-The New Deals long campaign to place ceiling over hours and a floor under wages neared completion to- day after passage of wages and hours bill by congress.
 The compromise measure lay on President Rooseveltss desk. His signature, expected to be affixed soon after congress adjourns, will make it law and, within 12O days will make effective the provisions for the first year of its operation.
 Passage of the bill was considered major victory for MT. Roosevelt and the New Deal. Possibility of its passage had been all but abandoned after the house had recommitted an earlier bill at the special session last fall.
 Overwhelming primary victories of Senators Claude Pepper, D., Fla, and Lister Hill, D., Ala, Itaunch southern New Deal supporters of such legislation, caused MT. Roose- welt to call upon administration leaders to revive it.
 Under administrative machinery similar to that employed to admin ister the national industrial recov- cry act the bill establishes goal of a 40-hour week and a 40-cent per hour minimum wage for inter- state industries, with exceptions.
 A universal minimum wage of 25 cents will be established for the first year. to be increased to 30 cents the second year. Thereafter, discretion will lie with the bills administra- tor to increase the wages to 40 cents as soon as economically feasible" :"
 Hours will be decreased from A hours per week the first year to AZ hours per week the second year. Thereafter an effort will be made to attain the 40-hour work week under the same discretion as applied to wages.
 The president is expected to with hold his signature from the bill un- til congress adjourns, permitting him to make an appointment to the office of administrator during con-

 City Check

United States Postal au- thorities may request the aid of secret service men in an effort to solve the disappear ance of a $50 check allegedly stolen yesterday morning from the American Legion Home on Holmes avenue and later cashed in an East Main street clothing store. Pay ment on the check issued by the City of Waterbury to Corporal Coyle Post was promptly stopped at a local bank when an alert teller noticed the absence of the official endorsement and the signature of the posts finance officer, Michael H. Toomey.

City Control Ter Sherwood Rowland was prepared today to issue another check so that the legion's drum corps would be compensated for its services on Memorial Day.
