RADIO AIDING STATE
POLICE EXTEND LAW
Supt Fader And Aides Greatly En-
thused with New Communications

Radio is helping Delaware State
Police stretch the long arm Of the
law a little further with the COM
pletion of two transmitters.
Patrol squads can be called to
answer an emergency anywhere
from Naaman's to Delmar faster
than ever before.
And besides helping in the detec-
tion and apprehension of criminals.
Superintendent John r. Fader sees
wireless communication as helping
to save lives.
Time Saved
Time will be saved in getting to
the scene of an accident, he ex-
plains. and those injured will get
medical attention just that much
quicker. He also believes the chance
of pyramiding of accidents on main
arteries will be decreased.
The superintendent explained that
in the event of a major disaster
anywhere in the State, the entire
force can be quickly assembled at a
central point by means Of the new
communication system.
Although police officials are still
looking to the day when twO-way
communication will have reached
perfection. they are highly pleased
with Delaware's improved radio set
up.
Seen As Great Stride
It is seen as a great improvement
over the days when the highway pa
trolman's only link with headQuar-
ters and sub-stations was his half
hourly telephone reports. Now any
hour of the day and night a radio !
to a patrol car will bring |
instant action either in the pursuit
Of law breaker, or on a mercy err
rand for an injured traveller.
The State Police has a new 500
watt transmitter with the call let
ters WDSP at State Road in addi-
ton to the reconditioned 20O-watt

Assistant Attorney General
 Refuses To Giue Up Bullet

Washington, Feb. 1-UP)-Rus- sell Hardy, special assistant U. S. Attorney General, continued his battle with Alexandria, Va, police today by refusing to give up the bullet with which he was shot last Saturday. The latest argument fol- lowed the Issuance of statement by the mysterious" woman who was with Hardy just prior to the shoot ing in front of the George Mason Hotel in Alexandria. Mrs. Elizabeth Connor Buchanan, law clerk in Hardy's office, admitted that she had been riding with Hardy. She said that she was issuing her statement to make known the facts concern ing most common place and un- mysterious situation about which there is not the slightest reason to be secretive."
 Hardy, who accused Alexandria of treating him as a guilty person rather than as a complainant, con tended that he was the rightful own- CT of the bullet which was removed from his thigh yesterday by Dr, Charles Stanley White. Alexandria police, however, were understood to have obtained a court order from Police Judge J. R. Duncan, re- quiring Dr. White to give them the bullet. Police want to compare 1t with gun seized by negro houseboy, Cain Jackson, who said that Hardy's assailant jumped onto his fJacksnn's) car and ordered him

month. The total was estimated at 18,000 persons, exclusive of inStitu. tional care.
 Full returns for the month, he said, would not be available for a week.
 Squires said the $1,000,000 appro- priation for this form of state relief may rise to $2,000,000 by the end of the present fiscal year.
 At the same time, it was said at the state tax department that tax returns would be completed within two months from unincorporated and corporated businesses, thus giv- ing an early indication of the extent of the recession during the final months of 1887.
 If the financial heads of the state find the budget thrown out of bal ance by the combination of rising relief costs and decreasing tax in- come, there may be poStponement of construction and other work funds for which are provided from the general treasury under the head ing capital outlay.
 Should these poStponements prove insufficient. there may be slash in state services.

to drive me out in the country fast I've just shot a man." When he grabbed the gun, Jackson told police, the unidentified man fled.
 Mrs. Buchanan issued her state ment shortly after Hardy's wife took him to a Washington hospital in a chartered ambulance to have the bullet removed. She said that she and Hardy left the Department of Justice Saturday afternoon and drove along the Mount Vernon highway which leads to Alexandria,
 "On the way back, she said, "I asked MT. Hardy to stop at the George Mason Hotel for few min utes. I went to the dressing room which is on the mezzanine floor. A few moments later MT. Hardy met me in the lobby. He told me he had been held up and shot.
 T wanted to go with him to the hospital but he became quite distreS- sed and insisted that return to my home. He pointed out that had been inside the hotel when the shooting occurred and that I could testify to nothing that had taken place and could do nothing to as- sist him. Under the stress of the ex- citement and. the pressure of his in- sistence reluctantly agreed'to leave,
 T did not even hear the shot fired MT. Hardy is much too i'll to be consulted about this statement so ] am taking the responsibility of re- vealing facts which there is no rea- son to be secretive."

 Hartford, Conn.,, Feb. 1-(UP)- All unexpected relief emergency oc- casioned by the business recession, may prevent the state administra- tion from achieving financial rec ord which promised to have been the best in years, it was learned to- day.
 The results of budgetary control during the first six months of the current fiscal year beginning July l, 1887, held out every hope of bal anced budget. it was said, but this desired end" may be much more difficult to accomplish, if not en- tirely impractible. if relief demands continue at the present heavy rate.
 From the state welfare depart ment it was learned state contribu- tions to towns for relief of indigent families may double the appropria- tion allotted from the states gen. eral fund for this purpose.
 Clayton Squires, director of the state aid division O. the welfare de- partment. indicated the recession still was proceeding in the state when he disclosed approximately D. 900 "newly-reopened" cases Ef state aid relief occurred during January, with figures still incomplete for the

LIBERAL IDEA OF
 CONSTITUTION

Hartford, Conn.,, Feb. 1-CUP)- Perpeuation of our democracy re- quires liberal interpretation of the U. s. Constitution, Gov. Wilbur L.. Cross said in an informal talk here last night.
 New Problems have come up on a large scale" he told the Temple Beth Israel Mems Club. The con- stitution has had to be rather liber- ally interpreted to fit them.
 So long as the people of this country want democracy. there is no reason why the constitution can't always be thus interpreted.
 "A Greek philosopher has said that everything is in flux-back- ward or forward. But on the whole I think that under our constitution we have been moving forward"
 If the American citizen, he added humorously, wants something else besides a derhocracy, he may have to revolt. But" The Governor said, He must not forget to be on the winning side."

PRIVATE PHONE
 OF CONTROLLER
Has Caused Considerable Amount of Anxiety; Mys=
 tery as to Its Needs

Although Controller Sherwood L. RoWland's private telephone has been in the process of being in a manner of speaking, for about one week, the number is not available to the pubblic.
 Authorities such as Information at the telephone company, had no listing of this telephone. Even a supervisor was unable to procure the number although she talked with MT. Armstrong. the control ler's right hand accountant, who, she said, was calling a MT. Robin son" to see whether the number would be available.
 MT Robinson" presumably is the Griffenhagen & Associates partner and accountant who, pres ently, will audit the controllers ac- counts. Why MT. Robinson would need a telephone in connection with the audit was not immediately learned.
 Number Announced
 Inasmuch as the reporter went to some trouble to try to get the pri- vate telephone number so that, at long last, he might be able to en- gage MT. Rowland in friendly con- versation concerning statements from the office, the number is an- nounced as "5-1010."

WOMAN DEFIANT
 BEFORE COURT
TwO=Year=Old Girl Brutal ly Beaten-Held in
 $5,OOO Bail

West New York. N. J., Feb. l. P)-Defiant, Mrs. Helen Hur- banis, fat 38 year old housewife, was in jail today awaiting grand jury action after her arraignment on a charge of having beaten brutally a two year old girl entrusted to her care. 'Try and get it!" the mus cular woman screamed when Acting Recorder Louis L. Flaum fixed bail at s5.OOO. They were the only words she uttered. She had no attorney. Her husband was present, but said nothing.
 This case is probably the most outrageous incident of brutality upon children that has ever come to public notice" Flaum declared. Ut is beyond the understanding of reasonable people how a human being can be guilty of beastiality so shocking that it is beyond that of barbaric savage"
 Frightful Abuses
 Mrs. Hurbanis was accused of hav- ing pulled the baby's hair out by the roots and of having cut its lips and bruised it's body from head to foot. Known only as Anna, the baby was left in Mrs. Hurbanis' care by its unwed mother last Labor d7y. Po- lice said that they had found the mother in Connecticut but refused to reveal her name. Mrs. Hurbanis is five feet, five inches tall and weighs 200 pounds.
 Meanwhile, authorities at North Hudson hospital in Weehawken, N. J., where Anna is recovering, re- ceived many inquiries from persons who expressed desire to adopt the baby. She has become the favorite of physicians and nurses, and has been showered with gifts.

Italian People Score
 Republican, American
Local Residents Come Out Strongly in Defense of Their Native Land-MOre Drastic Action Than
 Mere Protest May Be Started

Characterizing the attitude of th' Waterbury Republican and the Wa terbury American as deliberately unfriendly and hostile and it's edi- torial comments on the Italian government as "prejudiced and mali cious," prominent leaders among local Italian organizations an nounced plans today for mass protest meeting.
 It was also intimated in the statements of the spokesman that more drastic action than mere protest would be undertaken and encouraged if the anti-Italian atti- tude persisted.
 In one section of the formal pub lie statement it was announced that something must be done to show MT. William Pape that American citizens of Italian extraction can defend the land of their birth or extraction as efficiently as MT. Pape and his staff can defend theirs"
 Joined By Veterans
 Leaders of fraternal and social organizations are being joined by Italian World War veterans ill their protest. They allege that the attacks upon the Italian government indi- rectly reflect upon the loyalty and courage" of the Italian people. The announcement further claims that MT. Pape is building up sentiment in Waterbury for the English gov- ernment at the expense of the Italian people.
 Mir. Pape, so it was claimed, was politely requested on previous occa- sions to deal with the international situation in less prejudiced fash ion.
 John DePastino, national com- mander of the Italian American World War veterans and head of the Italian Federation, comprising more than 30 different local organi- zations whose members are of Ital- ian descent. heads the list of com mittee workers arranging the pro- test meeting.
