 Alliance Agreement

AhApAASAh0N
 Details of the agreement remained to be worked out. But 1t was said ir usually reliable quarters that already it was certain that the unwritten al liance would include:
 1. Action by the British and French air forces as one unit 1T event of war.
 2. A powerful British bombing fleet to fly at once to pre-arrangeo French bases in event of war.
 3. Establishment of bases i1 France for British air lanes.
 4. Provision of several squadrons of lightning-fast British Bristol fighting planes for service with the French air force.
 8. Creation of vast point stock of gasoline for use of the coordin- ated air forces in time of emergency 6. The French navy to be respon- sible for policing the Mediterranean while Britain undertakes to police the other seas.
 2. Exchange of airplane proto- types belonging to each country so that the combined brains of the air forces may concentrate on the most eincient models.
 Actual Work Next Week
 Actual negotiations on the details of the unwritten agreement are ex- pected to start next week in Paris between the general staffs of the British and French air forces, for

missioner to resort to the use of condemnation proceedings is in no small measure responsible for this.A
 In addition to Kemp, others in- dicted on fee-splitting charges a month ago were Thomas N. Cooke, Greenwich, and Samuel Silberman, Stamford.
 They will go on trial in superior court May IT, along with others in- dicted yesterday, it was expected.
 Climax or situation
 The jury's report climaxed sit- uation which opened late in 1887 when Connecticut newspapers cam- paigned vigorously for an investi- gation of the entire Merritt Park way situation.
 The matter grew tremendously in scope when Public Works Director Robert A. Hurley, under an attor- ney generals opinion. sent investi- gators and accountants into the highway department.
 He issued a sensational reprot on his survey of the department, charging Macdonald with waste and inefficiency" as well as incom- petence and favoritism to certain contractors.
 Meantime, the state supreme court, after numerous lower court battles, ruled Macdonald still re- tained control of his department despite a reorganization bill passed by the 1887 general assembly which gave Hurley's department super vision over all real assets" of the state.
 The court ruled real assets" did not include highways.
 The entire situation was unpre- cedented in Connecticut historical annals. For bitterness and recrim- ination the situation has no coun- terpart, observers said.
 Hurley and Macdonald ragged vio. lently at each other in reports to the governor Each accused the other of misleading statements and inaccurate photographs in discus sions regarding the Merritt Park way.
 The governor refused to take any disciplinary action against Macdon- aid, however, until the grand jury reported.
 He even had former highway Commissioner Charles J. Bennett make survey of the Merritt Park way bridge construction, one of the parkway features condemned by Hurley. Bennett, in effect, upheld Macdonald's design of the bridges.
 Meantime, at Waterbury, Special Prosecutor Hugh M. Alcorn, Hart ford county states attorney, con- tinued with a secret grand jury in- vestigation into every pnase of legis- lative lobbying and city financial affairs.
 Hundreds of witnesses have been summoned, including some of the most prominent public officials in the state.

 Three Months Probe
 The extraordinary grand jury completed its three-months' probe late yesterday by handing down sev- eral secret indictments, believed to be from six to eight. These were in addition to three handed down March IS in connection with alleged exorbitant prices paid for rights-of- way for the $20,000 super-highway.
 The jury's report to superior court condemned MacDonald's admins tration in scathing terms. It said:
 For the greater portion of the waste, extravaganza and incompe- tence exhibited in the purchase of the right-of-way for the Merritt highway, the grand jury feels that John A. Macdonald, highway commissioner, was entirely to blame.
 We feel constrained to recom- mend his immediate removal"
 Statutory Powers
 The governor has statutory power to remove Macdonald after hear ing. If such a procedure were fol- lowed, the commissioner may have counsel and present witnesses in de- fense. There is no appeal, however, from the governors decision.
 Rumors also were heard Macdon- aid might resign.
 The report of the jury was sub- mitted to Superior Court Judge Kenneth Wynn, former executive secretary to Gov. Cross.
 For many weary weeks" Judge Wynne said in indefinitely recessing the jury, you have rendered con- spicuous public service of an extra ordinarily high order.
 "You deserve and have won the gratitude of your state for the duty which you have so patiently and pa- triotically performed"
 The indictments handed down were secret, it was understood, be- cause two of those named were out of the state.
 Report Continues
 The jury's report continued:

Leroy Kemp, under indictment as sole agent for purchase of the land, his failure ito support" Pro- ject Engineer Warren Creamer's protest and administration, both oi Merritt parkway purchases and con- struction, and of the highway de- partment in general. Macdonald Censured
 The jury also censured Macdonald for "unwillingness" to cooperate with it and ''in not making a thor ough investigation of the activities of the purchasing agent" It urged censure for Deputy Highway Com missioner E. c. Weldon, and rec commended:
 A statute to require condemna- ton of all land to cost in excess of $1,000.
 Abolition of the Merritt Parkway commission, which was created to supervise the parkway when com pleted.
 Naming of a special three-man commission to supervise the high way commissioner in future proj- ects of magnitude.
 Abolition of highway and health department publicity work. This now is done by Clarence G. Willard, secretary of the Republican state central committee, who appeared several times before the jury.
 We feel strongly" the report said, that such payments for pulp licity may well be stopped in the interest of economy, and without any loss to the state in the efficiency of those departments which they serve."
 Summed Up in Entirety
 The jury summed the entire Mer- ritt Parkway involvement in these words:
 Tt is the conclusion of this jury that the entire system employed in the purchase of the right-of-way for the Merritt Parkway was un- sound, and should be emphatically condemned as wasteful of the states funds; unfair to the land owners, susceptible to fraudulent practices and lending to the encouragement of speculation.

 Similar circumstances undoubt- edly explain the recall of Ralph Devino, president of the Waterbury Mason Supply & Lumber company This was his sixth appearance. He vas called on April 6, 2, 13, 26 and 28.
 To Identify Records
 MT. Seeley, as bank official, was undoubtedly called to identify rec Crds. During the eight weeks of the probe numerous records of To- cal individuals have been taken from several banks.
 This was the 32d day of the probe and there is indication that the jury will continue their session into the night. No session is expected to be held either Monday or Tues day.
 Duties of Futile
 Chief duties of MT. Futile, as city treasurer come under the following headings in the city charter: ITO deposit funds in bank designated. ' To Pay Orders Properly Drawn in Order Presented" Reports to Board of Finance The post is elective.
 Atty. Ireland holds the post of city court judge at Norwalk. He was a familiar figure about the legis- lative corridors, especially during the past three sessions of the gen. eral assembly There is possibil- ity that the jury and MT. Acorn will question him regarding lobby ing. He is recognized as a G. o. P. leader of the state. especially through his connections with the members of the House of Represen- tatives, because it was there that he was regarded with the greatest patronage.
 Records ImpOunded
 Records from the Geghan Motors company were also impounded by the aides of the grand jury this morning. Edward A. Madison. Jr an officer of the Geghan Motors company and Henry Delvy, a former associate, were called as witnesses undoubtedly to identify the records

 No new witnesses, aside from Ralph Devino, president of the Wa terbury Mason Supply and Lumber company, were called after the morning session. The other six were: James P. Healey, executive of the Conner Trucking company and the Waterbury Brewing company; and Bartholomew Scannell, clerk of the assessors office, making their first appearances; and Frankie Burns Santalucia; John H. Crary, Francis Lawlor and Wilbur L. Larson.
 More records came into the spot light late in the afternoon wher an auditor accompanied MT. Lar. son to his North Main street place of business and returned with as armful of books.

ting.
In recent years commercial growers
have been offering the home gardener
plants of many of the ANIMALS and
perennials ready for planting. 1t
therefore is a logical question for the
home gardener-to buy seeds or
plants? And, of course, there are ar
guments on both sides. Briefly for
seeds:
l, low cost of seed; 2, obviates dam
ger OF introducing diseases; 3, newer
and rare varieties seldom offered; 4,
where large numbers of plants are
needed it is economical, and S, there
is the fun of growing them.
For plants the arguments are:
l, no long period of waiting for
bloom; q. most gardens need only
few plants of each kind; 3, to grow
seeds successfully considerable equip
ment and space are needed; 4. strong
er, huskier plants are usually obtained,
and 5, they are available when needed.
