GERMAN JEWISH EFUeEES0uT
Promised Admission to Cuba But Again
 Are Homeless

Havana, June 6-(UP)-The gov- ernment announced today that 900 Jewish refugees abroad the German liner St. Louis will not be permitted to land anywhere in Cuban terri tory.
 The announcement followed a conference at noon today with repre- sentatives of President Laredo Bru and relief committees.
 The announcement was a surprise since yesterday it had been indic- ated that the government would permit the refugees to land on the Isle of Pines temporarily, on the guarantee that they would not be- come public charges and would seek entry elsewhere later. The offer was good until noon today.
 Lawrence Berenson of the Na- tional Coordinating Committee spent the morning comforting at the presidential palace, presumably to complete arrangements for accept ing the offer. Then came the an- nouncement that the time limit had expired and the refugees would not be allowed to disembark.
 The announcement was made by a presidential spokesman who said that the original proposition, pre- Sented at Sundays conference with Berenson, provided for a $500 cash guarantee to be paid into the Cu- ban treasury for each refugee, "plus an additional sum for feed- ing and lodging them on the Isle of PineS."
 He said the conditions agreed up- on had not been met, and the time limit had expired.

 Marsall Their Forces
 Marshalling their forces yester- day after the unexpected 65-year re- tirement provision had been adopt ed Saturday as part of blanket Waterbury charter change bill, the teachers campaigned here yesterday and last night in person and by tele- graph, Democratic and Republican leaders were besieged with wires urg- ing them to amend or reconsider the bill. Then, late in the afternoon, the teachers delegation, headed by Miss Daisy Lord, conferred with Governor Raymond E. Baldwin. Also attending the conference were Senator Edward P. Egan and Repre- sentative Daniel Mahaney. The governor told the delegation he ap- preciated their viewpoint and was agreeable to an amendment to the charter bill.
 Shortly before II o'clock, the amendment restoring the retirement age to 70 years was offered in the Senate by Senator Audubon Secor, of Bridgeport, chairman of the cities and boroughs committee. .r~~
 Senator Egan Backs It
 Senator Egan spoke in favor of the amendment, declaring that the change in the retirement age had been made without any notice to the teachers and that the matter had not been discussed with them. He said that placing the age limit at 65 would have the situation of

Three Federal Men Waiting
 Three federal agents were at the station when Russell and Mccarthy arrived. They followed them through the station and placed Russell under arrest as he was about to enter taxicab. They said Russell made no protest.
 A Detroit legal firm, Thomas F. Chawke and Franke Kane, was re- tained to represent Russell. Kane said that they had not been per- mitted to talk to Russell. He said efforts to communicate with him, and to effect his release. would con- tinue. .,
 McGarrity was quoted as saying that he and Russell came to De- troit merely to visit friends, and that their arrival on the eve of the royal visit was only coincidental.
 Their majesties' visit to Wind sor, however, will bring them to their closest point of contact with the United States thus far on their tour. The Windsor railroad yard where brief reception will be held for them tonight at 8:30 p. m. (EDT) is directly across the river from downtown Detroit.
 Both Sides Prepared
 Because of the proximity of Windsor to Detroit, authorities on both sides had made precautions to prevent occurrence of any untoward incidents.
 The King and Queen are sched- uled for only a 15-minute stop at Windsor. They will be greeted by mayor and his wife, receive sal ute of 21 guns, and the king will inspect @ guard of honor. The mayor is to hand the king a mes sage from the people of Windsor and to present a bouquet to the queen.

 OF WITNESS, COUNSEL
Attorney Slade Had Asked Judge Inglis to Rebuke
 Warren M. Brown
BY JOSEPH P. DONAHUE Democrat Staff Reporter)

Judge Ernest A. Inglis to- day in the Waterbury con- spiracy dealt stern reprimand to States Accountant Warren M. Brown and Defense Coun- Sel Joseph J. Seaman for the methods of questioning and answering, as Brown was subjected to his fourth day of croSS-examination.
 Asked by Defense Attorney Ben- jamin Slade to reprimand Brown for arguing with Attorney Seaman, who is conducting the examination Judge Inglis replied that he ought to "admonish the cross-examiner and the witness.
 Tt is improper cross examina- tion as wei las improper conduct of the witness" he said.
 Led to Adminiti0n
 Attempts and promises of Attor- ney Seaman to show that the sched- tlie prepared by Brown indicating that more than million dollars was spent by the city between the years 1030-37 and could not be traced, were inaccurate led to the admonition.
 Claiming that five checks for a taotal of $2,023.09, which Brown had listed as unidentified" were part of a group of 21 payable to the Office used to cancel notes at the Water Supply company which had been bury Trust company, Seaman stated, Were going ot show you that this schedule is incorrect"

ASSEMBLY SPLIT. UP PATRONAGE.
Judges, Commissioners Agree on in Part; Water=
 bury Is Not Settled

Hartford Conn.,, June 6 - (UP) With monotonous regularity, the general assembly early today began the job sofi dividing the major pat ronage plum of a legislative session minor court judges and county commissioners.
 The break in the bitter spells fighting between Republicans and Democrats came shortly after mid- night following one of the longest judiciary committee sessions in years-13 hours. The committee sat down to discuss the patronage situ- ation at 10 a. m., yesterday, and finally adjourned at Il p. m.
 Minor courts in Is cities and towns were beyond agreement and judgeship appointments there will be made by the governor.
 Before quitting early today, the senate passed judgship resolutions in 53 courts and county commits sionership resolutions for the eight counties. The house which heard 42 of the resolutions after midnight, tackled the problem when at con- vened this morning and the judge ships rolled through in rapid order.
 Yet To Be Settled
 Here are the communities in which Republican Democratic agree ment was impossible to achieve:
 Middletown. Greenwich, Stam- ford, South Windsor, East Haven, Hamden, Wallingford, Meriden, Wa terbury, New London. Fairfield, Newtown, Norwalk, Torrington, New Milford.
 The agreement on the 53 courts came after political observers virtu- ally gave up all hope of settlement, and predicted the entire lot would be dropped in the governors lap.
 Throughout the day, capitol cor riders were thronged with politi- clans and judges from practically every community of the state. All of them remained until the early hours to hear the judgship resolutions go through.
 Cullinan Is Out
 Observers noted Democratic Town Chairman John T. Cullinan, Bridge port. the candidate of the party or ganization, failed to receive an ap- pointment.
 Appointment of John M. Bailey, at present clerk, to the Hartford Po- lice court judgship, was regarded as a slap at the Thomas J. Spellacy organization, and a boost to his ri- vals. Bailey, a former Spellacy lieu tenant. was reported to have broken with the mayor som etime ago.

Although the shot did not strike the Duchess car, police and Scot land Yard immediately posted extra guards around the homes of the Duchess and other members of the royal family.
 Lawlor was charged with possess ing a firearm and ammunition with intent to endanger life or damage property. He was remanded in custody for one week, during which detectives will question him closely to determine his motive so far un- determined by officials.
 An Unhappy Man
 A fellow lodger at the lodging house where Lawlor, a welder's as- sistant, lived, told authorities Law Tor was an untalkative, apparently unhappy man. He said Lawlor seemed dissatisfied with the amount of his war pension and appeared to have communistic tendencies, al- though he talked little and avoided arguments.
 At the Westminster court hearing, Police Constable Robert Tice testi- fled that after hearing shot in Belgrave Square, he chased Lawlor, who was on bicycle, forced him to the side of the road and held him.
 Tice said when he accused Law Tor of firing the shot, the prisoner replied:
 T didn't hit anybody, did IF"
 Tice testified he was standing in Belgrave Square at $40 p. m, when the Duchess, accompanied by Lady Portarlington. left her home in the car. He heard shot fired and saw Lawlor hurrying down the road towards a bicycle.
 Constable Glasses Him
 The constable said he jumped aboard a passing car and chased Lawlor who was cycling towards Victoria station. Tice testified he told Lawlor:
 T have been told by the driver of this car that you just fired a shot from a gun in Halkins street."
 Lawlor, after inquiring whether he hit anybody, produced cer- tificate for the gun. Tice then asked him for the weapon, which Lawlor produced from his hip pocket.
 Tice said when he arrived with Lawlor at the police station, an empty cartridge was found in the gun. Nothing was mentioned in court about Lawlor's motives.

 MAHER IS DEAD
Famous Tuberculosis Ex- pert Drops Dead at Home
 This Morning

New Haven, Conn, June 6.-UP) -Dr. Stephen John Maher, 79, in- ternationally recognized authority on tuberculosis, died today from a heart attack.
 The physician, who devoted nearly half century to the study of the disease with the hope of discover ing an absolute cure, arose this morning apparently in excellent health. He was preparing for break fast when he toppled to the floor, dying almost instantly.
 His research, all conducted in a small laboratory in the attic of his home, won him fame throughout the world. He was awarded the Laetare medal from the University of Notre Dame in 1892 and honored by the late Pope Plus XI in recog- milton of his intensive study of the germ.
 Born in 1860
 pr. Maher was born here April 12, 1860 and received his medical training at Yale university. He en- tered general practice in this city in 1888 and almost immediately gave most of his time to continuing the tuberculosis experiments he started in medical school.
 His familiarity with the subject led to his appointment by the late Gov. Rollin s. Woodruff, in 1908, as a member of state commission to investigate tuberculosis condi- tions in Connecticut.
 Three years later he was named to the state tuberculosis commis- sion and he served continuously until his death.
 He was an official representative of the United States to the in- ternational tuberculosis conference at Rome in 1928 and at Oslo, Nor way, in 1930 and served on the board of the National Tuberculosis Association since 1922. He also was president of the New England Tub erculosis Conference. of the Con- necticut State Medical society, the New Haven City Medical society and the city health board.

London and Hartford bridge tolls measures.
 Institution of juvenile courts in each congressional district at cost of $198,000.
 Mad Rush of Bills
 The mad rush of the final two days found legislators with packed calendars and many bills destined never to emerge from committees.
 There were 2530 bills offered at the start and committees raised an additional 760 either as new or sub- stitute measures.
 The governor was expected to have little or no trouble in getting his program across.
 The budget for the 103e-4i bien- nium was in balance and enough of a surplus was believed at hand to cover the juvenile court system and others requiring appropriations.
 Both Senate and House worekd to clean up all business today. leaving tomorrow open for the customary merrymaking that marks the final day of the General Assembly.
