, jury and MT. Alcorn yesterday when Attorney Alex w. Creedon of Hart ford was called into the afternoon session. Attorney Creedon a former judge of the Hartford police court, and recent president of the Hart ford association, is a member of the firm of Buckley Creedon and Dana her.
 The Buckley of the firm is Major John w. Buckley of Union who was also witness before the jury. The other partner is John 4. Danaher, former assistant of Major Buckley when he was U. s. attorney at Hart ford.
 Creedon Did Appear
 It is positive fact that Creedon appeared in the assemblies as coun- sel for the Outdoor Advertising con- pany, in opposition to bill which would regulate highway billbcards. There may be other connections which brought about his subpoena, however.
 Another new witness of yesterday afternoons confab was Miss Mar garet McDermott, secretary in the office of Corporation Counsel Charles S. O'Connor, who also was recalled yesterday. Miss McDermott stayed about half an hour. Former Mayor Francis P. Guilfoile was the last wit ness to leave, and he was excused at 5 :O7 p. m., or shortly before the jury recessed.
 Missing Trio
 The Acorn staff continued its search today for another missing witness, namely. John G. Purdie, who in prediction days was known as Jack Conway. There is now a trio of the missing" including Phil Ooppeto and Enoch E. Borgnais. Purdie who was either detective or a stenographer, attended all ral- lies and conventions during the cam- paigns. He is reported to have been on the city payroll for at least 15 months and to have received $500 monthly in addition to $200 extra for expenses.
 Alcorn- have traced Purdie as far south as Tennessee, where the trail has collapsed.

Industrial Gas Use
 Hit By Recession"
Domestic and House Heating Utilization, However, ln- creases-MOre Ranges Sold Last Year That Ever

While industrial and commercial use of gas in Connecticut, after reaching its highest peak in 1887, felt the effects of business condi- tions in the early months of this year and sales dropped in volume as compared with last year, the do- mestic and house heating utilization of gas in this state at the same time shot sharply upward, causing more substantial monthly gains in general sales than have taken place in sev- eral years.
 This is shown in statistics com- piled by the American Gas associa- tion from data reported by Il gas and electric companies whose sales constitute 92 per cent of the total sales of manufactured gas in Con- necticut.
 Upward Swing
 Not only was there a sharp up- ward swing in the use of gas heat in the household for purposes other than general house heating, but there was very substantial increase

BABIES HURRY
 ENTRIES TO CLOSE

(Continued from Page D be taken free. Still, it is our guess that every baby entered in the CONTEST will have a GOOD CHANGE to win the major prizes.
 EVERY BABY ENTERED GETS A LOVELY GIFT FROM THE DEMOCRAT, TOO. You'll hear more about this later-or read about the gifts in THE DEMOCRAT.
 Today we have two more pictures of entries-a boy and a girl. Let's take look at the picture of tiny Catherine Summa, 4 months old daughter of MT. and Mrs. Rocco Summa, of 63 St. Joseph avenue. What big eyes you have, Catherine.
 Something to Say
 "The better to see this great wide world," replied Catherine to this remark. You know, I've only been here a short time and there are lots and lots of things that haven't seen yet. Of course, know Whata hossy is, and kitty, and a bow WOW. But the funny little thing in that contraption on the table tell me, would that be a goldfish or a turtle?"
 Sorry, Catherine. Not having seen what you refer to, it might be almost anything. We'll come up and see you sometime and then will be better prepared to tell you those things a young girl should know. Say, 20 years from now.
 Next in the long list of babies whose pictures will appear in THE DEMOCRAT is Thomas Morin, one year old, son of MT. and Mrs. Phil lip Morin of Stillson road.
 What's the Idea?
 An, there, Tommy. Don't you let the lady with the big black box scare you, now.
 You might think that I was frightened when the camera expert snapped this picture" Tommy told us. But that is the antithesis of truth-in fact, we were having a good time with the whole affair and I was merely holding the cudgel over mummy-if I was good, said she, a lollypop. Well, I wanted her to know that I earned it-so there!"

KING CAROL HAS
 BEATEN FASCIST
Iron Guard Wiped Out By Decrees-Had Spies in
 All Depts.

Bucharest, Rumania, April 22.- (UP)-King Carols dictatorial gov- ernment strangled its chief opposi- tion today with a series of decreeS to wipe out the fascist iron guard. Concentration camps for all "anti- RumanianS" will be established, army officers likely will fill impor- tant civil posts and the ministry of interior will be empowered to deal with suspected spies. All property of the iron guard was ordered con- fiscated. There will be no letup in the roundup of its members, of whom more than 2,000, including its chief, Corneliu zelea Codreanu, were arrested this week on charges of plotting to overthrow Carol and establish a fascist dictatorship.
 Spies Everywhere
 Immediately preceding the de- crees, a joint report of the depart ments of interior and just said that the guard had had spies in all branches of the government, includ- ing the ministry of national defense and the general staff.
 The report showed in addition that the Nazi-like organization re- gently received from an unnamed foreign power 40,000,000 lei (about $4O0,000) to help defray expenses of an armed march on Bucharest to oust Carol and make Codreanu dic- tator.
 Carol, i'll with influenza, was in- formed of all measures undertaken. He was greatly improved and his as- sociates expected that he would be able to resume his regular activities.

OBJECTIVES OF
 NEUTRALITY LAW

Washington, April 22-(UP)-Pres- ident Roosevelt today said that the neutrality law has a double objec- tive-to keep this country out of for- eign wars and to avoid giving aid to belligerents in foreign conflicts.
 Answering a question at his regu- lar press conference, MT. Roosevelt said that the law gives rise to many difficulties. But, he said, the United States is doing it's best to operate under the statute in its present form.
 He outlined the obiectives of the law when he was asked to explain it's application toward Spain.
 MT. Roosevelt pointed out that the law, as now drawn, does not permit embargo of materials of war to neu- tral nations. He apparently referred to purchase of such materials in this country. which ultimately might be trans-shipped through a neutral nation tc a belligerent in a foreign struggle.

WALLACE BEERY
 TO HELP JACKIE

Continued from Page D the guardian of the various minors whose contracts are approved. I be- lieve it is the duty of the court to protect the interests of the minors"
 Had such a ruling been in effect 19 years ago when Jackie made his biggest hit as the four-year-old Kid" of Charlie Chaplin's picture, he probably would not be in court today.
 The Bernsteins have declared that they intend to apply California law to keep every cent Jackie earned before he became 21 years old. Jackie contends that he has evidence show ing his mother and late father once promised to conserve for him the money for which his childhood was sacrificed.
 Beery Speaks of Father
 Beery corroborated JackieS con- tentions. He said he had played in number of films with Jackie and knew his father well.
 Not once, but many times Jack NSOOSocill, oClllOl( IOlIl llC 1lCNCl intended to use cent of the money his son earned" Beery said. "He was careful always to impress upon everyone that Jackie's money was being saved for his own use when he reached manhood. don't know whether Jackie will want me to tes- tify, but want to help him in any way possible so that his fathers wishes may be carried out"
 When Jackie's father died in an automobile crash in 1885 and Bern- stein became the manager of Jackie Coogan Productions, Inc, Jackie said his life became a continued fight with the man who later mar ried his mother.
 My stepfather was mean to me and caused many an argument be- tween my mother and myself" he said. "Once he even bawled me out for using one of my cars. He call ed it his.
 Jackie Licked Him
 T explained to him that it wasn't his car at all, that all he owned was the shirt on his back. He started to kick me. I grabbed his foot and dumped him on the ground. When he got to his feet, he llnged at me, swearing. So l had to hit and hit hard. He went down again. was sorry to do it., but he forced me into it.
 After that I left home. My mother came to me, crying, and persuaded me to apologize to him. Her tears always won me over"
 Jackies bride, Betty Grable, said that soon after her engagement to Jackie, Mrs. Bernstein telephoned her mother and said that If Betty thinks she is marrying rich boy, she is mistaken. He hasn't cent; he's 8 pauper."
 AS if that made any difference, said Miss Grable. who now is sup porting Jackie from her $500 a week movie earnings. We were in love, and that's all that matters"

compensation division. They joined as party plaintiff in the action to recover compensation which was paid to Pinard during his period of disability. They alleged they had paid a total of $2,000.
 Injured Last September
 Young Pinard was injured Sep- tember g, 1887, at 4 p. m. when he was thrown from ladder as he was shingling a house at 35 Merrill street. The accident happened when the defendant backed his automo- bile against the ladder, causing the ladder to topple, and knocking Pin ard to the ground. AS result he sus- tained a permanent leg injury, ac- cording to the complaint.
 In addition to the stipulation filed in superior court, another agreement covering the compensa- ton phase, was filed in the com pensation court.
 Attorney Maurice Gruskay ap- peared for the plaintiff with Bron- son, Lewis & Bronson for the de- fense. The case was waiting jury trial.

Detective EdWaru J. Hickey, was "holding himself in readiness"
 Since MT. Brown and the two members of the auditing firm in charge of the city's books left We'd nesday, they have been expected to return momentarily with more rec ords. MT. Browns car is still stand ing in downtown parking lot where he parked it before leaving.
 Trial Speeding Up
 Observers of the jury's inquisition are becoming more excitable each day, with regard to the results of the probe. AS MT. Alcorn and the jury seem to have started a speed up program, which may call for six days of investigation each week, there is ample basis for belief that the end may be in sight.
 There was rumor today, however, that the election of last year would be thoroughly probed, and If this be so, the jury will be in session TOT many weeks to come.
 Borgnais In New York
 On good authority it was also learned that Enoch E. Borgnais of New York, an associate of the Kingsley Auditing Company. has not sailed to Sweden as has been speculated. It was learned that Borgnais did sail to Bermuda on March 30, but that he returned April 6. There is possibility that Borgnais is still in or near New York.
 All was quiet at the jury quarters this morning. Only two persons entered the floor which is being guarded by Detective John Sponzo, and they were identified as account ants. Their stay was brief.

 Indication that the probe was re- turning to lobbying was given by the

in the amount of gas used per cus- toner. This was 8 decided reversal of the trend in the past year or more, for, while the number Of do- mestic customers was growing the increase in the sales of gas for do- mestic use did not measure up to it approximately. In other words, there were more customers but the use of gas per customer remained fairly constant.
 The change in the trend took place in December and was carried through the winter. November had been a typical month. Domestic gas customers had increased |. 1.8 per cent over the previous November, but domestic gas sales gained by less than half of one percent. In December, household customers gained two percent, but the indi- vidual customer began employing more gas and tn. gain in domestic gas sales amounted to 5.5 percent The same trend was still more pro- nounced in January when, with a rise of 1.8 in residential customers, the amount of gas Used jumped by more than seven per cent over the corresponding month of 1897.
 House Heating
 Still more marked was the in- crease in the employment of gas for house heating. The past winter found sales for this purpose shoot ing upward by more than 30 per cent above those of the previous winter. This was attributable to a gain of approximately 400 in the number of gas-heated homes in Connecticut since a year ago. It is believed that heating also played a large part in the rise of gas sales in the regular domestic category (which does not include gas used for general house heating) due to
The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-04-22

a greater reliance on the part of many families during the past win ter on gas-fired space heating apph- ances. This, coupled with the fact that more gas ranges, automatic water heaters and refrigerators were sold last year thcn ever before, IS said to account for the winters sharp rise in gas sales in the lace of adverse conditions.
