Birth Control Clinic Has Created Dispute
Authorities Are at Odds as to Whether Clinic of Kind Is Being Run at Chase Dispensary as
 Was Reported

Authorities of the Waterbury hos pital and of the Chase dispensary which serves as the hospitals out patient department, were at odds today as to whether or not a birth control clinic is in operation at the dispensary. Miss Jeannie Heppel superintendent of the dispensary told The Democrat that a birth con- strol clinic had ~beerrUperati9gs gssti1ere since last October. Dr. B. Henry Mason, superintendent of the hos pital and Dr. Charles Larkin, head of the genealogical staff, were quoted today as claiming that it was a genealogical clinic rather than a birth control clinic.
 Both doctors admitted that birth control information is given out at the dispensary, but said it was given only if the health of the patient were involved.
 Informed Thursday
 The Connecticut Birth Control league at its annual meeting in Hartford Thursday, was informed by Mrs. A. Morgan Pease that dur ing the past year the first birth control clinic in a public institution in the state had been opened at the Chase Dispensary, Waterbury. Her remarks apparently indicated that it was a triumph for the league.
 Catholic clergy of the city may call the attention of Most Reverend Maurice F. McAuliffe, bishop of Hartford, to the league, since sev- eral clinics are reported operating in the state.
 Dr. Mason said that advice is giv- en to women at the clinic on pure ly medical basis. Birth control ad- vice, he said, would not be given to normal, healthy women.
 Dr. Larkin said that birth control information is given out at the cli- mic only If questions of health are involved.
 Miss Heppel yesterday, in con- firming Mrs. Pease's statement on the local birth control clinic, said that women were admitted to the clinic only through letters from their doctors.

SUPER HIGHWAY
 TO CIRCLE CITY
That IS PIan of City En. gineer Root; May Take
 Many Years

A circumferential per-highway around the City of Waterbury has been planned by City Engineer Charles A.. Root, though it will no doubt be years before the plan can be put into effect. The project has been discussed informally with mem- bers of the board of public works and the board of finance.
 The aim of the super-highway would be to reduce the amount of downtown traffic by providing easy routes around the city for through traffic. It would connect with main state arteries to and from the city.
 The belt highway would extend along Harpers Ferry road to East Main street, along Frost road and across Meriden road, to Woodtick road, to the Lakewood road, then along Chase avenue into Wateville. The route would then probably go along Huntingdon avenue to Water town avenue, then across the city again on Riverside street. Pearl Lake road, from South Main street to the intersection of Hamilton ave- nue and Harpers Ferry road would also be included.
 In line with the same poject is a proposal now being studied, that new Waterbury, -Naugatuck high way be constructed along the west bank of the Naugatuck river.
 The circumferential highway would enable traffic from all direc- tions to avoid the congestion of the business district. The route crosses every main entrance and exit to and from the city.
 The first step would probably be the improvement of present roads along which the route would pass. But eventually, it is hoped, the en- tire belt highway will have new pavement laid and be marked for the benefit of motorists.

COURTS, PUBLIC
 PROTEST NOISE
Conference of Judge Ing lis With Prosecutor May
 End Nuisance

Disagreement between superior court and City of Waterbury auth critics over Jurisdiction in dispos- ing of complaints against the noise made by workmen demolishing the old Southern New England Tele- phone O., building on Leavenworth street was expected to be ended to- day at a conference between Judge Ernest A. Inglis and Prosecutor Frank Healey of the city court.
 pr. Edward J. Godfrey, city health oficer, after receiving many com- plaints from neighbors that the workmen began their day at 5 a. m. and woke them up, conferred with officials of the wrecking concern. He was informed that the early start of the work was authorized by Judge Inglis, who several times dur ing the conspiracy trial sessions or dered the work stopped because of the noise of drills and hammering.
 Dr.. Godfrey, claiming that the early-lnorning noise constituted a public nuisance, referred the matter to Prosecutor Healey for action. Adjustment of the situation, with the a. m. start of work being halted, was expected today.
 The noise of the workmen, said Dr. Godfrey, woke up residents of Church street. Center street and other nearby streets. There are a number of small children and sev- eral iivalids living nearby, he said
 Several times while the trial has been in session, the noise of drills from the nearby building has made 1t almost impossible to hear wit- nesses, and Judge Inglis has or- dered deputy sheriffs to have work men demolishing the building halt their work.

OlcaCeQ that put TOT ms illness, con- troller Sherwood L. Rowland would be the next witness.
 Hickey, who is slated to become superintendent of the state police department July 1, will be the Goth state witness. His testimony is ex- pected to concern the investigation of local affairs which was conducted by Hickey since February, 1888.
 After Is days of testifying-seven under gruelling cross-examination- Brown was excused from the stand early yesterday afternoon. Special Prosecutor Alcorn conducted no re- direct examination.
 Worked For Conviction
 The $6 an hour accountant, whose bill to the state for services will to- tai $50,000 for the conspiracy case, admitted yesterday that he has worked to obtain a conviction, when employed as an expert accountant in criminal cases.
 On that phase of examination by Attorney Slade, the witness at first claimed that he had no desire to obtain a conviction-only to do his duty to the best of his ability. Tt is not up to me to procure con- viction," he continued.
 "You never wanted to assist and cooperate in obtaining that result in any case you appeared in as an expert accountant and bookkeeper," demanded Slade.
 Brown refused to answer that question yes or no, and appealed to Judge Inglis that he could not do so. Judge Inglis ordered the witt. nets to do as requested by the at. torney.
 Finally he said. T will answer yes"
 50 you wanted to obtain a con- viction," shouted Slade, That's all" as he concluded his crosS-examina- tion.
 Cassidy Motion Denied
 Prior to yesterdays adjournment, Judge Inglis denied motions of At torney John H. Cassidy, who sought to have him strike out the analysis sheets prepared by Brown, referring to the accounts of Corporation Counsel Charles s. O'Connor and Frank (Burns) Santalucia, on the grounds that they did not reflect exact conditions. He also sought to have stricken from the record the testimony of Brown referring to the analysis sheets.
 It has been indicated that follow ing the conclusion of the states case, the defense will probably re- quire about two months for the pre- sentation of its case.

British Monarchs Are Tired, Weary, Excited
Their Housing Reception at Washington Practically Took Them Off Their Feet-Ready Now for
 Most Strenuous of All Events
BY WEIR MILLER,

United Press Staff Correspondent
 Aboard Royal Pilot Train, en route to New York, June 10 = (U P) - Heat-weary but still excited over their rousing reception at Washington, King George and Queen Elizabeth moved on today to new adventures-to the thrill of thrills-the first glimpse of the New York skyline.
 A second thrill will follow quick ly-the spectacle of the worlds fair grounds, where pageantry is an in- dustry, and where all previous oc- casions are being exceeded in honor of the royal visitors:
 The King had insisted on seeing New York. Royalty, peers and com- monerS of Great Britain have sung the praises of that never-to-be for gotten sight and he had been de- termined not to miss it.
 So proceedings today-the whirl- wind ride through New York to the worlds fair and a call on Columbia University's Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler-are delayed so that the roy al party may approach Manhattan Island by the water route charted by Henry Hudson, which offers the best first view of the skyline.
 Left Capital at 12:45
 The King and Queen left Wash ington today at 12:45 a. m. (EDT) and normally would have been in New York after an early breakfast. But the royal train pulls up at g a. m. (EDT) at Red Bank, N. J., to permit their majesties to motor to Sandy Hook where the destroyer Harrington waited to transport them to New York's Battery.
 AS the royal train sped along the eastern seaboard, diplomatic ob- servers, both of this country and the British Empire declared the two-day visit of the royal couple to Wash ington an outstanding success.
 In the background of the parades and pageantry of official functions, remained the real purpose of the visit-development of closer friend- ship between a great empire and the great democracy of the western world. Diplomats believed that had been accomplished by the charm and graciousness of their majesties acclaimed in the capital for 3e hours.
 No Hint of Return Visit
 The rules of diplomatic etiquette call for the visiting head of a gov- ernment to invite his host to re- turn the visit. There has been no hint yet that King George has in- vited President Roosevent to Lon- don, but he may have done SO. IL was certain that it would be done before he leaves Hyde Park, N. r., Sunday night, to return to Canada
 Speculation here was that any formal decision would be delayed some time, probably until next year.
 Today's ride through New York is the middle phase of their majesties' four-day American visit. They over- whelmed the capital with their charm and energy. Despite q broil- ing sun and humidity above normal. they filled a crowded program with out c hitch.
 They Wanted The Queen
 At no time had the success of the visit been better demonstrated than when the train left Washington early today. and the King stood on the rear platform, waving to c

FIFTY FAMOUS
FRONTIERSMEN

By ELMO SCOTT WATSON

nNE was Frenchman, Etlenne Pro
~ vot (sometimes spelled Provost),
who was a member of the famous
Ashley Henry expedition of 1922 up
the Missouri and later captain Of o
company of Ashley-Henry men who
trapped all through central Wyoming
The next year he quarreled with Ash.
ley and Joined the rival Pratte-Chou-
teau company which later merged with
the American Fur company. After that
he became head of a group of free
trappers and journeyed from Wyoming
over into Utah.
Authentic records of this period are
scarce but Provot may have seen the
Great Salt lake before Jim Bridger
did and he may have gone through
South Pass before Thomas Fitzpat-
rick did. A little more authentic Is
the story of how the site of the city
named for him was baptized In blood
when a party Of treacherous Snake
Indians killed IL trappers in his COM
pany. His long career of adventure
came to an end with his death in st.
Louis In 1850.
The other was an Englishman, Peter
Skene Ogden, the son Of q New York
Loyalist or Tory who removed to Can
ada after the Revolution. Young Og-
den entered the service Of the North
West Fur company and later was a
brigade leader for DR.. John McLough-
lin, chief factor of the Hudson's Bay
company In the Pacific Northwest. As
such he explored much of the present
state of Idaho and parts Of Nevada
and Utah. He is said to have been
the first white man to see Mount
Shasta and the headwaters of the Sac
ramento river. He discovered the
Humboldt river, which for many years
| bore his name
| Ogden married a Salish woman and
won a great influence over many of
the tribes of the Northwest Because
or this he was able to rescue some of
the captives held by the Indians after
| the Whitman massacre In 1917.
Whether or not he and Provot ever
knew each other personally is uncer-
tain, but it is likely that they met
some time while both were ranging
through Utah or at some gathering
of trappers in that part of the coun.
try. And 1t would be easy to imagine
the Frenchman and the Englishman
meeting again at the Last Rendez
vous" in that yalhalla where gather
the spirits of all the men who made
history in the glamorous days of the
fur trade and Ogden boasting "A city,
a river and valley in Utah bear my
nameir To which Provot might re.
| ply That's three. But | have -four
that bear my name-a city. river
