 Buried Saturday

He was a graduate of Norwalk high school and New York university and was also graduated from the Uni- versity of Pennsylvania Dental school.
 Dr. Haugh was well known in this city having frequently visited at the home of his sister, Mrs. Thomas F. Cassidy. He was a member of the Knights of Columbus, and the Con- necticut Dental association and was a police commissioner for the city of Norwalk.
 Survivors include: his wife, Anna Burke Haugh; one daughter, Bar bara Haugh; two sons, John Haugh, Jr. and Burke Haugh; seven sis- ters, Mrs. Thomas P. Cassidy, wife of Thomas F. Cassidy, superinterld- ent of the Prudential Life Insurance company of this city; Mrs. Alexan- der Lonergan and Mrs. Allan Sperry of Westport; Mrs. John Paul and Mary, Geneva and Agnes Haugh of Norwalk and two brothers, Dr. Francis A.

Alcorn, in another attempt to force open for inspection the minutes of the grand jury. An appeal to the supreme court on any ruling on a mandamus might cause the high court to consider the merits of the question of secrecy of the minutes. An appeal from Judge Inglis' deci- sion on the minutes was discarded when MT. Alcorn claimed there could be no appeal from the interlocutory decree.
 Arguments May Tell Story
 From his arguments tomorrow, it may be possible to learn if MT. AL corn intends to appeal the question of venue of the case.
 While all these developments were occurring in rapid-fire order, New Haven court house officials planned a layout of accommodations for the trial in that city. '.
 Plans for Storage
 Plans are being made for the storage of the massive exhibits and matters of evidence, which Special Prosecutor has gathered for the trial. During the arguments on the fruitless change of venue motion, MT. Alcorn stipulated that the facili- ties of the New Haven court house were adequate.
 Most adequate facilities in the New Haven court house are con- tained in the ground floor room, where the fall term of the criminal superior court is now in session.
 Top Floor Suitable
 From spectators point of view, the top floor of the building, which has been used as a supreme court room would be more suitable, but 1t does not contain as great conveni- ences with respect to jury rooms, conference rooms and store rooms as the first floor does.
 Which of the rooms will be used, of course, will be within the dis erection of the judge who is named to preside.
 Concerning the motions for trial which will be filed by the defend- ants, there is possibility that hear- ings on them will be conducted by Judge Edwin c. Dickenson, who is now presiding at the criminal term in New Haven.

HONEYMOON ENDS
 IN PRISON CELL

Boston. Nov. 3-(UP)--Herbert Wells, 35, of Long Beach, L. l., and his comedy 28-year-old bride wound up their honeymoon in jail cells to- day. Behind them, police said, was a trail of worthless checks with which the bride not only paid beauty treatment bills, but also the minister's fee and the bill for a gala reception for 29 guests in a Boston hotel.
 The couple were arrested in Long Beach, L. l., on charge that the bride left a worthless $10 check as a deposit on a ring. Wells was sen- fenced to 20 days in jail for starting an altercation in court during his wife's arraignment.
 Boston police said they were glad to learn of the couples arrest be- cause they were seeking them on charges of rendering worthless checks totaling $20O in Boston. These included two totaling $132 given hotel Kenmore for the wedding re- ception and one for $40 given the Rev. Samuel M. Lindsay of Brook line, who married them.
 Mrs. Wells is the former Dorothy Clark of Arlington.

City Economy Group Ready To Make Report

doubtless, and there remains possi- bility that increased millage will be necessary in the tax rate. One req son for this, however, the $383, ,O00 item of deficit" as of May 1, this year, when receipts to the sinking fund no longer could be figured as revenue during the current year, will be, in sense, a paper trans action"
 Full Explanation
 Explanation of this is that the surplus resource sinking fund, plus the economies of appropriations made to benefit of the contingency fund, will equal the amount of the May deficit" and can be applied, by some means, 1t is believed, to cancel the said deficit"
 But bonds of issues dating to 1897 will mature next year and the sev- eral hundred thousand dollars due may necessitate increase of the tax rate. This matter has yet to be de- termined by Griffenhagen and the finance committee.
 No 1889 Money Used
 It is unlikely that any 1889 money of substantial amount will be used for 1888 bills, it appeared today, Enough money for payrolls remains and the contingency fund set up by Griffenhagen and the finance board has had sums aggregating an ap- proximate $500,000 paid in, with withdrawals in the instance of the welfare department. of $113,500.
 But the welfare departments in- adequate appropriations caused the salary cut of 10 per cent for city employees and the first disposition of this saving was earmarked flor di- rect relief" the $181 ,000 set up last June for transfer to the welfare de- partment after Sept. 1, as needed. In the interim, money was furnished from the general fund to be charged against the contingency fund when the charter allowed this procedure.
 The economy committee is expect

in which the western nations have gigantic interests aside from their trade with China.
 It was forecast that the finance minister also would warn the na- ton that it must bear further in- conveniences in view of the govern ment's objectives.
 Promise Expected
 He was expected to promise to reduce ordinary expenses, as con- trasted with war expenses, and per haps to intimate that there would be a heavy bond issue to meet a budgetary shortage of revenues.
 Thus there were the government statement, Prince Konoye's speech and the arrangement for Finance Minister Ikeda to make a statement as the three high points of the new basis of policy which the govern ment has worked out.
 But fourth and equally import ant move was made yesterday al Geneva when Fiji Amau, the Jap- anese minister, informed Joseph 0 Avenol, secretary general of the League of Nations, that Japan had decided to sever all remaining ties with the league.
 Japan had resigned from the league itself because of the leagues policy concerning her seizure of Manchuria from China and its con- version into the puppet state of Man chukuo. She had continued, how ever, to cooperate in humanitarian work and in the international labor organization.

ed to be near completion of its work after today's meeting and, thereafter, will dissolve, the board of finance to form 9 committee of the whole to outline the 1889 budget. Several of the budgets of smaller departments are expected to be presented today.
 But the controversial report of Grifenhagen on the school depart ment and the reports made ready on the police, fire, street and park departments, probably will go to the respective boards for study and con- sideration.
 The police, fire and street depart ment reports are understood to be ready and copies may be furnished the finance commissions today, if re- quested.

with the British government.
 Our correspondent also informs us it is predicted that Col. Lind bergh and his family will also be- come British subjects by naturaliza- tion in the near future.
 "The position which will be offer- ed Is one similar to director of civil aviation. There may also be an un- official connection with the re-or- ganization of the royal air force.
 Agent of British Government
 During the last few months Col. Lindbergh has played an increasing ly tmportat role in international aviation circles, and his many trips to Berlin, Prague. Moscow, Paris and Rome have caused him to be re- garded in the light of an unofficial agent of the British government, rather like Lawrence of Arabia.
 It is reported that his letters to the British foreign office at the last crisis, in which he related the immense air preparations of Ger- many and Italy compared to the inc efficiency of Russia and the weak ness of France, were very impor- tant factors in deciding the pre- mer's attitude at Munich"
 Well-informed sources in London and in Berlin, which Lindbergh wis., ted recently. derided the story. British sources pointed out that nat urali2ation is not possible at this be- cause Lindbergh has not fulfilled the residential requirements by British law, which could not be waived except by special act of par- lament.
