BOARD ADJOURNS
 WITHOUT ACTION
No Solution as to Retire. ment of Fire Lieutenant;
 Minutes Questioned

At a two-minute meeting at } U- clock yesterday afternoon the board of fire commissioners decided to ad- journ for a week before taking ac- tion on the dispute as to whether or not Lieut.. John J. Crane was one of the members of the fire department placed on the retired list at meet ing two weeks ago.
 No attempt was made yesterday to have the board approve the minutes of the meeting of April 6, in which Lieut.. Cranes name was listed among those of officers voted re- tired. Yesterdays meeting was helo because the board failed to come to any agreement at its regular meet" ing Wednesday.
 AS soon as the meeting yesterday was convened, Chairman Henry w. Minor suggested that the board members take further time to think the matter over. This met the ap- proval of the four other commits sioners and the meeting was ad- iourned to next Thursday afternoon at 5 o'clock.
 The board is still lacking two members, Mayor Frank Hayes hav- ing named no successors to Commls- sioners Thomas Mccarthy and Fred- erick w. Chesson, both of whom re- signed in protest against the fire department shake-up voted by the board at the April meeting.

COMMISSION SUIT
 IS WITHDRAWN
No Announcement Made as
 to Possible Settlement; Agent Asks $500

Withdrawal of the $500 civil &C., ton of Joseph Wilensky against Nellie Semetas and Mary c. Snap kauskaS from the court of common pleas where it had been pending trial, was made today. Whether or not any settlement was made is not known.
 The suit was related closely to that of Nellie Semetas against John Kairis, which was elected from the superior court last month by Judge Frank P. McEvoy at the time he suspended Attorney Casimir Luko- sius for seeking judgment by de- fault, after improper service had been made.
 Wilensky, in his suit, claimed he acted as agent in sale transaction, whereby John Kairis agreed to buy property from Nellie Semetas for $7,90O. His commission was to have been 3 per cent, he claimed, but he received nothing.
 He admitted in his suit that the sale was never completed, but claim ed that at the time of the contract signing, Kairis was ready, willing, and able to buy the property. He claimed that Nellie Semetas could have forced the sale by court &C., tion for specific performance. The contract was signed Nov. 6, 1887. Nellie Semetas and Mary Snap kauskas did bring suit for perform ance against Kairis, and named as co-defendant, Helen Luben. Service was made on local resident by that name, but the court learned that the proper Helen Luben re- sided in another state.

bus discovered new stars as his head spun.
 Patrolmen John Pannone and Thomas Dodds arrived on the scene and took Columbus to St. Mary's hospital, where his wounds required 12 stitches. Then Columbus was taken to the police station and booked for breach of the peace.
 A short time later, Patrolman James Stack arrested the bottle heaver, John Clyde, 35, of Carmel street, charging him with assault and breach of the peace.
 In city court this morning Judge Edward Mascolo heard both men relate their stories. Clyde admitted throwing the bottle, but said he didn't mean any harm. Both men were hay as to what started the argument.
 The cases were continued till two weeks from today in order that the testimony of the bystanders may be | heard.

ALUMNI PUBLISHES
 CHANGE IN DATE
General Meeting 10 Take Place Tuesday Evening
 Instead of Monday '.

Committees arranging the reor- ganization of the Wilby High School Alumni association today announced a slight change of plans in connec- tion with the first meeting of the association. The meeting will be held on Tuesday evening, April 26, in- stead of Monday evening, April 25, as originally planned and an- nounced.
 The change is necessary because of the fact that the consolidated or chestra is to present a concert at the school auditorium on Monday evening. The alumni committee, which is composed mainly of grad- uates of the 1884 class, plans to have the first meeting in the auditorium.
 Joseph P. Kennedy, principal of the school, is honorary chairman of the reorganization program. Several hundred graduates, including rep resentatives of each of the 20 classes graduated from Wilby, are expected to attend the meeting.

NoBootlegging!
 Pay $75O for License, Run Decent Place Advises Liquor Commission Chairman.

Holders of restaurant beer per- mits who sell hard liquor deserve no sympathy, declared Chairman Frank s. Bergin of the state liquor control commission yesterday. He made his statement during a hearing of applications by two Waterbury men for restoration of their restaurant beer permits, which had been revoked.
 The local men were John J. Marcinkus, of Riverside street, and Joseph Stanevich, of TOP North Riverside street. Both had their restaurant beer permits re- voked after commission inspectors had found them selling hard liquor.
 Holders of beer permits who want to gamble" must take the consequences if they are caught, declared MT. Bergin. He said there have been many complaints from holders of restaurant liquor permits, who pay $750 for their license, about the sale of hard liquor by holders of restaurant beer permits, who pay only $50
 That prohibition bootleg stuff is out" said MT. Bergin. Liquor is legal now. If a man wants to sell liquor, let him come up here and nav S750 and run A decent place."

LEGISLATURE OF
 R. I. PROROCUED

Providence, R. l., April 22-UP)- The legislature prorogued at 6:18 a. m. today after killing a state in- come-corporation tax bill and pro- posal for referendum on pari-mu- tuel horse race betting.
 The session was Stalemated for hours by a deadlock on the annual appropriation bill. The house final ly accepted the senates reduction of $2,O0O,000 in the original $17,OOO, ,0OO bill.
 The income-corporatoin tax bill, sponsored by Democratic Governor Robert E. Quinn, was killed by the senate, 28-14. All Republicans and one Democrat, Sen. Adee of New port, voted against the bill.
 The pari-mutuel referendum bill was killed when the senate referred it back to committee. Though Gov ernor Robert E. Quinn has the DOW CT to place the question on the bal lot without legislative action, it was believed unlikely he would do so. A Baby Wagner" bill passed by the house was killed, 28-14, by the sen- ate.

 Hollywood, April 22-Almost every day Shirley Temple begs somebody in the household to measure her against the marks that have been made on the door frame of her bed room. Miss Temple is impatient to grow up and be an actress.
 It doesn't do a bit of good to assure Miss Temple that she already is an actress, and that Papa George Temple and Mama Gertrude Temple and MT. Daryl Zanuck and 100,- 100000 movie fans do not want her to hurry about growing up. She's growing, just the same.
 The last mark they made on the door, after getting her down off her tiptoes, was 50 inches from the floor. That's an even 2 inches more than a mark made year and half ago, and 10 inches more than her height when she made her screen debut in 1883. Her weight on the dates men, toned jumped from 37 to 63 to 73k pounds.
 Her birthday cake tomorrow, April 23, will have nine candles. Inciden- tally, she now has nine baby teeth still to lose. For her age, the box office queen of the movies might be considerably taller than she is, and she is expected to begin growing a lot faster at any time now. Much as it dreads this emergency, the ct,1djn ic preparnd for if

 Already there are portents. In the current Little Miss Broadway" the ooh-erS and ah-ers will see the Temple curls all over the Temple head for the last time, In the same picture, to show the fans what's happening, two new hairdresses are being introduced.
 Twentieth Century-Fox is making allowances for Shirley's growth in it's preparation of stories. "Sunnyside Up," ready for the camera now, gives her only little more to do,. allows her to look only a little older. But Savannah of the Mounties," after that, will represent a more definite age step.
 If there are any fairy stories or fantasies in the movie market with in the next year or so, Miss Temple

 Shirley now is making something more than $500,000 year from all sources, but actually she sees only 8 very small part of her income. That part is the few dollars week her mother gives her as an allow ance, which Shirley very carefully apportions to entertainment, sweets and the Sunday school collection box.
 Nearly all of the money is being saved for her. Hollywood hears that Mrs. George Temple now receives 5000 a week from 20th Fox for Shirley's care and training. And MT. Temple himself is prospering in the agency and management busi- ness.
 Vacation Soon
 Neither studio now parents want Shirley to work hard or lose many of her privileges of normal child hood. The trip east in a couple of months, if it can be accomplished with reasonable privacy, will be a vacation jaunt for Shirley to see some of the things she has been studying in American history.
 There are three Shirley Temple pictures year. Each of these ln- wolves about one week of prepara- tion-wardrobe and tests-and about five weeks of shooting. Besides Sun days, she has occasional days off and three hours of each working day are spent in school.
 Even while not working before the camera, she goes to school daily in her private bungalow on the lot. She is in 5-B now, struggling with long division and fractions. She likes big words, particularly a phrase that Jimmy Durante taught her "im- memorial and irrelephant."
 Personal Loss
 Mrs. Temple, telling of Shirley's growth, said her diction, dancing, and singing voice all have improv- ed.
 "She had by far her most diff cult dance routines in Little Miss Broadway Everyone notices how much more assurance she has de- veloped in acting. If another player misses his lines and ad libs a little, Shirley doesn't miss her cue or look surprised. She used to stop when that happened"
 Recently, though, she did stop, and right in the middle of a speech. Director Irving Cummings was as- tonished. He said, why, One-Take Temple! Whats the matter?"
 Miss Temple took something from her mouth and put it into pocket. I'm so sorry" she said, but just lost another tooth."
