Appeals In Conspiracy Based On 100 Errors
DefenssC ConnseI They Exist as Supreme Court Takes Under Consideration Motion to Use Typed
 Interest of Printed Evidence in Reviewing Case
Special to The Democrat

Hartford, Conn, February 6-The appeal of former Mayor Frank Hayes and other convicted defen- dants in the famous Waterbury con- Spiracy case to the Supreme Court of Conn 3cticut will be based on 100 alleged errors in rulings of pro- cedure. Th'-- fact was intimated to- day when arguments were' heard by the Supreme Court in session here on the petition of counsel for the defense that the states highest tri- bunal review the testimony of the famous trial on typewriter rather than printed copies of the evidence. Three representatives of the &C., cused spoke in support of the peti- tion during the 14-minute session. States Attorney Hugh L. Alcorn, who directed the prosecution in Wa terbury during the long session in Superior Court, limited his remarks to two words. In reply to query from the bench as to whether he wished to offer any opposition to the motion, hn replied "No, sir'.
 The Supreme Court took the mat ter under consideration and for nal decision is expected shortly. In view of States Attorney Alcorn's stand in the matter the defendants

TAX COLLECTIONS IN JANUARY HEAVY A '
$lOl,8o6 Taken in-More Than $27,OOO7 Collected
 to Date in Feb.

Back tax collections continue to mount as the city presses its drive for the settlement of delinquent ac- counts. Reports filed with Controller Thomas M. Conlon by Tax Collector Humbert Mangini show that total collections during January amounted to $101, ,896. This is gain of almost IS per cent over the $88, ,926> total in January of last year.
 Collections thus far in February amount to more than $27 900, and the payments on back accounts this month may even exceed the January figures. {
 Much of the ,$10l,896 total for January was received during the last week of the month as city employees settled their accounts rather than have their paychecks held up or their names placed on a list of de- linquents to be submitted to the board of finance. Checks of city workers who have not yet paid will be held up tomorrow, with the amount of the tax to be. deducted.
 Most of the payments, have been for back taxes on personal property; The drive will, later be extended to cover collection of back old age tax es, sewer, street and special assess ments and other sums due the city.
 A small portion of the payments b .ing received by the .ax collector daily are for current water rents,

SUICIDE TROOP
 IS WIPED OUT
50 Red Parachute Soldiers Killed, Captured in Swift FOray

Stockholm, Sweden, Feb. 6-(UP) Finnish troops wiped out de- tachment of 50 Russian parachute troops who landed in the Rovaniemi area yesterday in one of the most deperate exploits of the war, it was reported today.
 According to the report the Rus sian parachutistS landed somewhere near Rovaniemi, which is 120 miles west O fthe Russian frontier, and is general headquarters for the Fin nisi1 northern and northeastern armies. ~
 The Russians were trying to dynamite bridge, 1t was asserted when Finnish troops attacked them and wriped them out.
 Russia initiated the parachute troops tactics. Thousands of men who realize that even victory is almost certain to bring them death have been trained to land from air. planes behind an enemy's lines and to dynamite bridges and other com munications, engage small enemy forces and in other ways to do as much damage as possible. It was believed that the. detachment re- ported ill the Stockholm Dispatch was the largest yet landed in Fin land. Small attachments landed in Southern Finland have been wiped out quickly, some even as their men descended in their parachutes.
 It was asserted that the parachut- ists landed at point only about 10 miles from Dovaniemi, in the valley of the Kemi river which runs through the city. s&
 Anti-aircraft gunners saw the parachutists descending, it was said and a swift ski patrol hastened to engage them. A brisk fight followed as the Russians tried to drive through the valley to. blow up a rail- road bridge across the river.
 After half. an hours fighting, it was reported, most of the Russians were killed and the rest made pris- onerS. \
 The Russians carried dynamite in sacks, wore skies for swift cross country travel, carried automatic pistols and machine rifles and light machine guns and were unusually warmly clad for Russians.
 It was reported that the Films believed the operation might be the first series designed to disrupt Kemi Valley communications.

 to Japs

London, Feb. 6 -.(UP.) = For eign Secretary ViScount Halifax said in the House of Lords today that Britain was willing to release nine of 21 German seamen seized by a British warship from the Japanese liner Asama Maru.
 A statement along the same lines was made in the House of Commons by Prime Minister Neville Cham berlain.
 After Investigation of the train- ing and antecedents of the 21 men removed 1t was found that some of them were relatively unsuitable for military service and while reserving all legal rights His Majesty's gov- ernment accordingly are willing to release nine of them who will be handed over to the Japanese au- thorities in due course," Halifax said.
 Halifax made his statement CO., incidentally with publication ln Tokyo and London of the diploma tic correspondence between Britain and Japan over the Asama 'Maru incident. Japan had demanded re- lease of all 21 Seamen.
 The foreign secretary said that Japan was making efforts to avoid similar incidents in the future.
 Meanwhile" he said, "the Jap- anese shipping companies have been instructed in the future to re- fuse passage to any individual of a belligerent country who is embodied in the armed forces or suspected of such embodiment
 .While the British government. maintained thei;' legal view of tEe position 1t is anticipated that such incidents will be avoided in the fu- ture."
