Dear Boys and Girls:
We have a nice lot of news from
the ga and PA rooms in Har-
din this week but the Antler
school news is not yet in as I
write. I hope it will come in time
for the printer man to get it in
the paper. We always miss the
Antler news. They tell us such in
teresting things.
Why don't we hear from you
folks at Crow Agency any more.
We want to know what you are
doing there. It would be fun if
your second grade could race
with the Hardin second grade on
combinations.
Did you ever see such pretty
snowflakes as fell last Saturday?
It surely looked as if Old Mother
Hubbard was picking her geese

Are you sure, David Lee, that

never knew one to nest in a house

 Conditions Bad
 The resolution adopted by na- tionalist deputies and senators charged that conditions in northern Ireland "can hardly be paralleled by the conditions existing under any of the so-called dictators on the continent"
 The resolution protested against the governments ban on partition meetings in various counties of northern Ireland on the "pretext that they endanger peace"
 As the result of the civil authori- ties act the government, the reso- lution said, was in a position to "imprison without trial or deport without giving the accused any idea of the nature of his offense as well as debarring him from appeal in any court of the land"
 Members of parliament are "de- prived of the right of meeting with their constituents" the resolution said.
 Authorities said the bombings were carefully organized along 180 miles of border.
 Police interrupted attempts to wreck customs huts along the Done- gal-Derry boundary. No arrests have been made thus far.

NAZI SPIES ARE
 FACING PRISON

Continued from Page D dealing with her testimony - her confession to agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, her testi- mony before a grand jury, and the translation of German code letter in her possession when she was ar- rested.
 Miss HOfmann's Charge
 Miss Hofmann had contended that her interpreter before the grand jury had given faulty trans lations and that she was able to decipher a code only by means of a key with which she had been SUD- piled. The government had con- tended that the easy flow of Miss Hofmanns handwriting when she decoded the secret messages indi- cated 8 thorough knowledge of the code.
 Later, the jury sent for exhibits relating to Glaser's testimony. The most serious charge against him was that he had given his friend, Guenther Gustave Rumrich, an army deserter who turned govern ment's witness, the army restricted z signals" for communication be- tween military planes and landing fields. Rumrich said he had turned the signals over to Nazi agents as a secret navy code for communica- tion between the fleet and land bat terieS.
 Unmitigated Liar
 Judge Knox's charge described Rumrich as "an unmitigated liar, ? and raised the question of whether Leon c. Turrou, former government agent who investigated the case, was corrupt, seeking financial re- ward and widespread publicity" or was "an honest and conscientious agent."
 The judge said it made no differ ence whether the military informa- tion supposed to have been gathered by the three and sold to Germany was actually important or secret. Regardless of whether it was public property, he said, the three could be convicted if they were proved to have gathered it for the benefit of Germany Rumrich has testified that he had sold picture postcards of army Qualifications to German agents as military secrets"

traordinary grand jury last March. Kemp is being tried separately.
 A defense motion that the indict- nnent against Kemp be dismissed on grounds he had been compelled to give testimony against himself and was illegally summoned before the grand jury, was denied by Judge Frank F. McEvoy.
 Kemp, taking the stand for brief examination, said he had been ob- liged to give, his testimony, mot by physical force," but "by influence and sneering" of the grand jurors.
 One of the jurors he said, threatened me with contempt oi court"
 The state then called Charles F. Taylor, Greenwich, civil engineer in the highway department, who took the witness stand with batch of maps in his hand.
 The proceedings thus far have been preliminary, laying the groundwork for evidence of the al- legged conspiracy based on the re- port of an extraordinary grand jury which caused the agents arrest six months ago, along with eight others.

 We recommend such a charter be submitted to the general assembly for passage at its next session.
 To the end that the above work shall be done and that proper pub licity shall be given the matter, and the voters shall understand the value of the proposal, so that they may vote intelligently at the refer endum, we realize much work must be done and considerable fund raised.
 A new organization for this pur- pose is thought by many to be ad- visable. This, of course, has the merit of not confusing the city man. ager issue with other matters which may have had the attention of ex-

 Former G. o. P. Leader
 Mackenzie is former prominent Republican and a resident of Bethel. He is represented by Attorney Will liam Hadden. Prior to yesterdays procedure he had never faced the court on the conspiracy charge. When the other defendants pleaded not guilty he was reported too ill to attend the arraignment.
 The grand jury reported that Mackenzie came in for a split of $58, 400 which was paid by the city during 1895 and 1887 to Williamson for lobbying. It also reported that during 1885 he received $2000 for lobbying for the Electric Steam Sterilizing Go. From various inter- ests, the jury reports he received more than $50,O00 for lobbying dur ing those two years.
 Charges Against Levy
 Levy is 39 years old and is also represented by Attorney Hadden. Between June, 1881 and July, 1887, the jury reports, he received $126,- TOT from the city for making a sur- vey of utilities rates. The jury states that he kept less than $20,000 for that fund, and returned in 'kick- backs" the balance to officials.
 He is said to have received $8,000 flor silence" from Thomas P. Kelly since the probe opened.
 Horgan is 59. Usually in court pro- cedure a plea of nolo contendere is equivalent to plea of guilty, and almost without exception, the court so finds.
 It is anticipated that the changes in pleas were made yesterday with the understanding that leniency will be requested for those capitulating, when the trial is concluded.

November 50, 1858 MT. Francis T. Reevs Waterbury, Connecticut
 Dear Sir:
 By your report of November 29 the citizens of Waterbury are placing a great responsibility on this association. However, as this organization belongs to, and is made up of, the people of our city, it should be able to accomp- fish their desires unless they prove false to themselves.
 Your committees report will be immediately submitted to our board of managers for their con- sideration, and I feel sure that the proper action will be taken to carry out the constructive rec concentrations that have been made.
 Our principle desire at this time | is to give the people of Waterbury chance to choose between a modern city manager charter, that is giving good government in so many other cities, and the kind of inefficient government they have been gettting for some years past.
 Good, honest and efficient gov- ernment can be secured under the new system for running municipal affairs if all elements of our city become civic minded and vii unite to work for the common good. Then the spells system will be abolished.
 Waterbury must become known as the "best governed city in New England" Then it will attract new industries to the benefit of the workingman, merchant and man. ufacturer.
 Very truly yours, The Citizens Good Government Association.

isting organizations and caused op- position to them.
 However, the whole basis for ad- vocating a new charter is an attempt to divorce the city government from the abuses that were apparent years ago when the Waterbury charter commission vas appointed and which have recently become unbearable to the taxpayers.
 This situation was the basis for the remarkable enrolment of over 5000 in the Citezens Good Govern ment association and the voluntary subscription to it by over four thousand people.
 We believe that such an organiza- tion, entirely bipartisan in char acter, formed for the purpose of improving city government should, under present conditions, be the agency to handle the details neces- sary to get the matter of city manager charter before the people.
 For the best results this associa- ton should not be expected to carry the whole burden but every club, neighborhood organization, church and any other association of men or women which is anxious for improv- ed government should be asked, and expected, to do it's part in carrying the thing through.
 But we think the Citizens Good Government association should be asked to prepare the bill for the leg islature, and do what it can to get others to help, and haire he neces- sary funds for this work.
 To that end we believe it should no longer delay the expansion of its board to include representatives of all possible groups able lead in the advocacy of the new charter. For the time being, is should make that it's principal work, and later con- itnue as an outside, independent, non-partisan representative of the voters and taxpayers to see that the city government functions properly for their interest.
 We understand from our letter of appointment that you are to report our suggestions to those invited to the meeting, but that we are ex- pected to start the proceedings along the line we hereby advocate.
