 The boy contended he was only 15, but school records said he was IS, and he was tried on the burg large charge, now, however, the charge will be changed to one of incorribigility. and the case will be disposed of in juvenile court.

GEORGE. COYLE
 TO GIVE TALK
New Britain Mayor Guest in Naugatuck Thursday
 Evening

George J. Coyle, mayor of New Britain, will speak in the Salem. School auditorium in Naugatuck, Thursday evening at 8 o'clock at a Merit System meeting to which the public is invited. The meeting has been arranged by the Naugatuck Chapter of the Connecticut Merit System Association of which Harold R. Perry Is president.
 Mayor Coyle is a notable advocate of the Merit System, having said in the recent past, If can point to the establishment of a, sound merit system in the civil service of New Britain, I shall be satisfied that my admintration has performed a vital service for our citizens. On Thurs day evening he will tell Naugatuck citizens why he is so anxious to have a Merit System for New Brit ain-what the advantages are that make the Merit System desirable for the proper administration of any municipal government.
 Mayor Coyle is at the present time supervising the drafting of a Merit System Act for New Britain, using acts already in operation in such cities as Bridgeport as models and making use of the experienced le- gal committee of the Connecticut Merit System Association.
 Mayor Coyle's action in this re- spect marks the first time that the chief executive of g Connecticut city has taken the leadership in seeking civil service legislation since Mayor McLevy obtained the Merit System for Bridgeport.
 Last evening, William F. Burke of the Waterbury Merit System as- sociation addressed members of the Mems league of the First Baptist Church, complaining various feat ures of the system and describing the success of the plan in various cities of the country.

COLLEGE PLANS
 SPELLING BEES
Pocket Dictionaries Cur= rent Fad at New RO-
 chelle Campus

New Rochelle, N. Y, Nov. 29- 'How do you spell itP" has over- night become the by-word at the College of New Rochelle as the four classes prepare for series of in- tercollegiate spelling bees, to begin after the Christmas holidays.
 Pocket dictionaries are now the current campus fad, and long for gotten spelling rules from grammar school days are quoted glibly on all sides, only to be answered with exceptions"
 Lectures are interrupted by re- quests of Will you spell that, please?", and even the dining hall has not escaped the wave of spell ing consciousness, judging from the controversies waged over the num- Der of "n's" in "mayonnaise," and whether broccoli" has one "c" or two.
 Glass competitions have been held all this week to provide teams who will meet next week to determine a varsity squad of five girls. Miss Rosita Perez, of San Juan, Puerto Rico, astounded the college by spelling down the rest of her class and thereby winning place on the junior team. Also representing the junior class are the Misses Marie Teresa Colman, of New York City, and Rita Hennessy, Plandome, L. I.
 The senior contest, conducted orally by Miss Katherine Cava- naugh, of Holyoke, Mass, class president, was won by Misses Elsie Gallant, Ticonderoga, N. Y.; Helen Malley, Rumford, Me; and Helen Eluiersdorf, New York City.
 The Misses Grace Lund, Mama roneck, N. r., and Peggy McEvoy, of New York City, sophomores, and LdEetta Corcoran and Maehelen Lacey, of the Bronx, freshmen were proved to be the best spoilers in the written competition for the un-l deRclassmen, conducted by Miss

 Some of the jurors presented ex- cuses that they would lose their jobs, or, in one case, 8 bond" if they accepted jury duty. To these the judge promised that he would take care of their problems by per- sonal contact with the employers.
 Alc0rn Is Agreeable
 Special Prosecutor Hugh M. AL corn announced agreement to the procedure of examination of the jurors, the state to take first shot" and then to alternate with the de- fenSe.
 Immediately, Attorney George Crawford of New Britain, defense counsel, gave similar agreement.
 ITO save the time, the defense counsel for all but three of the de- fendants have agreed to have four of the defense 1awyers examine prospective jurors" he told the court. we are agreed 70 your hon. or's proposition that we alternate in examination"
 He said that he, with Attorneys James D. 0. Murray, Benjamin Slade and John H. Cassidy will ex- anime jurors for the defense.
 Atty. Crawford pointed out that these four members of defense counsel were acting for those clients for whom they had entered appear ance in the procedure.
 Leary Demands Rights
 At this jurcture, Attorney Josiah H. Peck, representing former Con- troller Daniel J. Leary, spoke to the judge, saying that he wanted it understood that the agreement made by MT. Crawford did not ex- clude him from examination of a juror if he deemed it to the interest of his case.
 The judge described procedure in the matter of treatement of jurors who have been accepted in any one day, remarking that these jurors will be given the oath of secrecy and will be excused from further attendance at proceedings until the jury panel is completed.

Early returns from all sec- tions of the city indicate that Waterburians are as generous as ever. The appeal of the Anti Tuberculosis league promoting the sale of Christmas seals for funds to carry on the leagues splendid work is meeting with a splendid reaction from the public. The need of cooperation here was never more impera- tive. There is much work to be done, more money to be spent, if Waterburians attacked by the White Plague are to bigven a chance to fight their way back to good health again.

 AmhulanceS were sent from San Francisco and San Rafael.
 John N. Buckley, in charge of the coast guard station at Point Reyes, and a boat crew braved raging surf to try to fight their way to the scene in small boat. The surf beat them back. That was the only avenue of approach except over the 500 foot cliff, which was so steep that ropes would have to be strung from the top. This operation was begun by another crew of rescuers.
 H. J. Pfleghaar, in charge of the Point Reyes lighthouse, said that the plane was wrecked.

So with the Mainliner's retractable landing gear up-as it should be in such an emergency oyer the water-he slid down on the pounding surf.
 For eight minutes, according to the lighthouse keeper, the lights of the Mainliner shone out over the bay. Then they disappeared. At dawn the rocky base of the cliff was strewn with wreckage.
 The Mainliner left Seattle last night at 8:30 o'clcck for Oakland and San Francisco, It cleared Port land and Medford, Ore, and was due at Oakland at PHO a. m.
