 Jury Procedure

Defense counsel for the 27 men facing trial on charges of conspiracy to defraud the City of Waterbury, whose charges of illegality against the grand jury and the ap- pointment of Special Prose cutor Hugh M. Alcorn were abruptly dismissed in decis- ions by Judge Ernest A. Inglis yesterday, prepared today to arg ue additional defense motions Tuesday, July 5, at 10 a. m.
 In addition, Attorney Thomas F. McDonough, counsel to Alderman Thomas P. Kelly, whose quo war ranto proceedings against the ap- pointment of Alcorn were dis charged, prepared an appeal to the supreme court.
 Appointment Legal
 In lengthy decisions filed yester- day afternoon shortly before 3 o'clock.

 The pleas in abatement as filed and argued for 19 of the 27 de- denfants were also dismissed by Judge Inglis who separated the var i0us allegations into sections and ruled individually on each, incor-

No Peace with Chang

Japan is determined to bring to
- pass the complete downfall Of
Chang Kai-shek and his Nationalist
government of China. Following a
meeting of the imperial council in
Tokyo in the presence Of the en-
peror, it was announced that Japan
would withdraw it's recognition Of
the Chang regime and would en-
courage the Japanese-dominated
government set up in Peking.
The official statement continued:
Needless to say, this involves no
change in the policy adopted by the
Japanese government of respecting
the territorial integrity and sover-
eighty of China, as well as the rights
and interests of the other powers in
China.
"Japan's responsibilities for peace
in East Asia are now even heavier
than ever before. It is the fervent
hope of the government that the
people will put forth still greater
effort toward the accomplishment of
this important task incumbent on
the nation"
Shanghai was informed that Chi
ang had ordered his troops "not to
retreat a single inch"

Mr.. Reed, who will fill the va

Justice George Sutherland, is fifty

Herbert Hoover, then President,

Then President Roosevelt picked

In the opinion of lawyers Mr..
Reeds legal philosophy is orthodox.
His liberalism is not that which
would do away with legal proce-
dure in establishment of untried

and the President would shirk their
duty if they did not venture into
legislative fields of untried constitu-

Canal Toll Fight On

CENATORS and representatives Of
y the Mississippi valley lining
up for a determined fight against
a bill sponsored by Senator McAdoo
Of California to exempt coastwise
shipping from payment of Panama
canal tolls. The opponents feel
that the measure would endan-
ger the prosperity of Middle West
industries, many of which already
have been crippled or wiped out
since the opening of the Panama
canal and the establishment of tolls
lower than rail rates from the Mis-
sissippi valley to either coast. This
cheapening of transportation for
seaboard industries made it impos-
sible for enterprise in the interior Of
the country to compete in seaboard
markets.
Public hearings on the McAdoo
bill were opened, and it was pre-
dicted there would be a great strug-
gle in congress between seaboard
and interior interests.

Hits Holding Companies
DRESIDENT ROC

DRESIDENT ROOSEVELT, in a
press conference, declared he
was determined to wipe out all hold
ing companies. The method to be
used in eliminating them, he said,
was still under discussion; he in
dicated it might be done through
legislation and the exercise of the
taxing power.
The "death sentence" imposed on
holding companies in the utility in
dustry in the 1885 act is a step to-
ward the new purge. The Presi-
dent revealed that Wendell L. Will
kie, head of the Commonwealth and
Southern corporation, recently had
urged him to relax this restriction
and that his plea had been rejected.
Senator Norris, who has proposed
that most holding companies be
taxed out of existence, holds that it
might be desirable to retain first de-
gree companies, or those which hold
securities in operating companies
only.

Leisure, the highest happines
upon earth, is seldom enjoyed
with perfect satisfaction except in
solitudes. Incidence and indiffer-

for true leisure is frequently found
in that interval of relaxation which
divides painful duty from an
agreeable occupation; a toilsome
business from the more agreeable
occupations of literature and phil
osophy.-Zimmerman.
