 GET JAIL TERMS
MahOney Boys Admit PrO- visions and Radio Theft
 From Cars

Two brothers who pleaded guilty to the theft of radio and 8 bag of provisions from cars parked on East Main street, near School street, were sentenced to jail terms of 30 days by Judge T. E. Conway in city court today. The sentences were imposed on John Mahoney. 28. of 297 Hamilton avenue, and Daniel Mahoney. 30, of 43 Emerald street.
 The arrests were made by Patrol- man Harold Green after persons near the scene had seen the brothers remove the radio from a car owned by Jopesh McCarry of Woodtick road. Also stolen was a large bag, con- taining meat, eggs. butter and other articles, from a car owned by Henry State, of Stony Hill road, Danbury.
 Patrolman Green found the radio under the arms of one of the broth- CTS. He recovered the bag of food at 8 Scovill street home, where the brothers had left it, saying they would return later in the evening.
 In imposing the sentences, udge Conway said: ''This thievery has to cease. It must be stopped now es- pecially during the Christmas sea- son, with people on shopping streets leaving valuable articles in their cars."

gates. The delegates will represent the f1remen at public hearings on the proposed 1889 budget, which begins next Tuesday night, and will also seek public support. %
 One member of the fire depart ment committee, said after today's meeting that policemen have already begun a similar campaign, and will also choose delegates. The same spokesman declared that there was an understanding" with school teachers that they will also press for return of the pay cut. The 1889 budget approved by the finance board, and now in the hands of the board of aldermen, makes no pro- vision for return of the pay reduc- tion during 1889.
 Facts Ready
 At the budget hearings the fire department representatives will be prepared to cite facts and figures purporting to show why the salary waiver should now be ended. It will be claimed that The present salary schedule in the department is below that of many comparable cities about the country.
 The fire department committees has approved recent suggestion by Commissioner Burton Walker that members of the public visit the fire. houses, to study fire apparatus and equipment. The committee will fur- nish men in each engine house with facts and figures to give to any such visitors.
 The fire, police and school depart ments recently conducted successful campaigns of opposition to reconn- mendations of Griffenhagen & f5- sociates for reduction in personnel, eduipment and salaries.

Filibuster Goes Into Fifth
Day Over Long De-

WASHINGTON, Jan. Ex-senator
James F.. Byrnes of South Carolina,
today continued his steady attack on
the anti-lynching bill, and charged
in the Senate that such a bill would
arouse i'll feeling between sections. .
The filibuster against the bill,
going into its fifth day, drew a re-
iteration from Senator Alben W.
Barley, Democratic leader, that his
intention is still to hold later Sen
ate actions until the anti-lynching
bill is settled one way or the other
Senator Byrnes, taking the floor
as the Senate convened, asserted
There has been a steady decline in
lynching during the past ten years.
A joint Congressional committee
reported that agreements had been
reached on the wheat provisions of
the lever normal granary program
The bill will aim to keep wheat sup
plies equal to the annual domestic
consumption and exports averages
during the past ten years, plus a
reserve of Is percent of both.

Most striking advances have been
in aircraft. The army now has l.
600 new planes, and another 1000

Farmers Growing
Poor According
To Sec. Wallace
Blames Industrial Recession
On Falling Farm
Prices

WASHINGTON, Jan. 11-Secre-
tary of Agriculture Wallace today
told a Senate committee that the
demands for rural relief are in
creasing steadily and said that nei-
ther local nor Federal agencies ARE
the means of coping with the sit
uation."
Testifying at an unemployment
inquiry, Wallace blamed the indus
trial recession on falling farm
prices, the increased mechanization
of agriculture, as well as drought.
The farm income, he said, will
fall this year from five to ten per-
cent below that of 1897.
Relief need IS greatest in the
Great Plains region which has been
suffering from droughts since 1884
1t is estimated that between 49,
600 and 10000 agricultural laborers
have been thrown out of work in
Iowa alone this fall, due to me-
lchanical corn pickers.

experts say, however, that an ex-
penditure of about $150,000,000 on
materials as needed now to bring
army defense up To comfortable SCI
curity' stage.
Probably the most important de-
velopment in the secondary defense
since the World War has been the
( building up of an Officers Reserve
Corps, now $4,000 strong. Carefully
worked out defense plans call for a
speedy, wartime expansion of the ar
my with these reserve officers pro-
viding a valuable training nucleus
/ for hundreds of thousands of re-
cruits.
Gas Defense Adequate
Our artillery, mostly of the French
rs type, which is being modernized
for high speed towage, ranks well
with other nations. French artillery
technique, however, has long been
rated the worlds finest
u S. anti-aircraft guns are among
the best but the supply, army Off
GERS say, is not satisfactory. No
particular. plans, it is said, have

1 a weapon but the army has concen-
trated on gas defense and develop

Railway artillery and other big
guns, which can be moved quickly
protect threatened areas between
fixed coast defenses. Supplement
ing these in swift defense service is
the new General Headquarters Ali
force which by 1910 is slated tc
reach full strength of 1000 up-to-
the-minute combat planes.

Seattle or other frontier" spot
were menaced by enemy Warships
or planes, a powerful unit of the
CHG would be Immediately con-
centrated for their defense.
Protection Measures
Intensive motorization, plus ex-
cellent highways, has made troop
movement to most sectors of the
country incredibly fast compared
with World War standards. Tanks
anti-aircraft guns as well as the
motorized field artillery, infantry
and machine gun units can be NOV
ed rapidly to strategic positions.
Comprehensive defense plans
provide also for quick mobilizat ior
of forces to protect munition fac
tories, vital transportation arteries
and water supply systems, as well
as to evacuate civilian populations
from combat zones.
