LYNCH TO CONFER
 WITH PROSECUTOR
Corporation Counsel to Ask Permission to Check
 Books for Evidence

Civil actions to recover money from Waterbury officials tried dur ing the conspiracy case will have to wait until the city records are returned, Corporation Counsel J. Gregory Lynch indicated today.
 The records in question were seized in 1888, when the municipal probe was launched, and are now safely stored in Hartford. These records must be returned to Water. bury before the csty can file suit, since only by an examination of them can city council determine just what complaint or complaints may be lodged against the ofiicials
 It is expected that Lynch will confer with Special States Attorney Hugh M. Alcorn when the latter comes to Waterbury Friday morn- ing to hear the dismissal motions of Charles s. Connor, George H. Kings ley, John w. Meaney, and Simon J. Alderman, the four men whose appeals in the conspiracy case were granted March 6 by the Supreme Court of Errors at Hartford.
 Lynch in all probability will ask MT. Alcorn for the return of city records so that action, which was approved by the city government last week, may be instituted with out further delay.
 In the meantime, speculation as to the states reaction to the dis missal motion of the -four men granted their appeals, is divided. Some believe that Alcorn will not ask for new trial against these men, while others feel that he will do just that.
 Pending in the Superior Court now is the $600000 recovery action against Daniel J. Leary, city official, who is the object of @ nationwide search.

 With the retirement of General Edward J. Higgins on account of i'll health in November 1884, the High Council in London elected Miss Evangeline Booth General of the international forces of The salva- ton Army.
 The Generals farewell to Aineri- ca was the most impressive demon- stration of affection and regard ever shown in New York City, when 10000 persons gathered in Madison Square Garden to honor her for her thirty years in the United States. From then to her retirement in October, 1889, General Booth found time from her duties at Interna- tional Headquarters in London to conduct services throughout the British Isles and elsewhere.
 General Evangeline Booth is a composer and musician, her favor- ite Instruments being the harp and piano. She has written the words and music of many popular song; which have passed into current use in The Salvation Army.
 Upon her return to the United States, of which she Is & citizen, in December, 1889, General Booth re- tired to her home at Hartsdale, N Y, seeking rest and opportunity to compose hymns and band music.
 Many Honors
 Honors that have come to Gen. eral Evangeline Booth have been many. The Distinguished Service Medal, bestowed by the late Presi- dent Woodrow Wilson; an honorary degree of LID at Columbia Unl- versity; an honorary degree of M A. at Tufts college; the Eleanor Van Rennslaer Fairfax Gold Medal for eminent patriotic services; the Vassa Gold Medal by the King of Sweden; and the Gold Medal of the National Institute of Social Science; in addition the Distinguish ed Service Medal of the Rotary Club of New York City.

the Salvation Army in the United States, a post which she held for thirty years. During the ensuing years, The Salvation Army advance cd rapidly. Commander Booth, as she was known, showed herself a leader possessed of many outstand- ing qualities. Gifted far beyond the ordinary power of eloquence, she has been acclaimed one of Ameri- cas- foremost woman orators. She endeared herself to all sections of the nation by her simplicity of purpose and her devotion to the ideals she set out so wildly In her public addresses.
 The extention and consolidation of The Salvation Army's work dur ing her command bear eloquent testimony of her abilities as 8 lea der and an executive. Faced at the outset with overwhelming problems of money and personnel, she revolu. tionized the financoal system of the Army, and materially strengthened It's resources.
 Narc courage
 The work of the Army In con- nection with the Great War en- deared the organization to the na- ton in general. With a rare courage General Evangeline Booth placed the whole resources of the Army at the disposal of the Government The resultant work at home and in France, where the Army women ministered day and night to the American soldiers comfort is known and appreciated by soldiers and ci- yilians alike. President Wilson be- slowed upon Miss Booth the rare honor of the Distinguished Service Medal as the mark of his apprecia- ton in this connection.
 During the latter years of her command in America, the members of The Salvation Army in other parts of the world insisted that General Evangeline Booth should visit them. Strenuous campaigns were conducted in Japan, England,

|PAN.ARAD|CP PLAN DISCUSSED HERE
National Field Director Ad- dresses ZiOnists Meet
 ing; Idea Practical

Speaking before Q group of the Waterbury Zionists last night at the Hebrew Institute, Isaac Carmen of New York, national field director of the Jewish National Fund said the time was approaching when all na- tions of the Near East would unite in the formation of a great Pan-Arabic amalgam.
 This idea of uniting Turkey, Egypt, Yemen, Iran, Seria, Iraq, Lebanon, Arabia, Palestine, and other lands is not so revolutionary as it may sound, he said.
 "As far back as 1918 many for ward-looking Arabs were advocating just such a Pan-Arabic movement" Only local politicians, backed by Na1 and Fascist funds, guns and propaganda, have fought Jewish set- clement in Palestine. Others have long favored and still favor such 8 plan"
 It is his belief that Palestine will become Q Jewish Commonwealth in this Pan-Arabic congress of Near East nations.
 MT. Carmel, speaking of the Ma tional Jewish Fund, pointed out the work done by the organization for those who become colonists in Pal estine and are unable to pay for land.
 The fund buys land in Palestine and leases 1t at nominal rates to those colonists unable to buy farms of their own. Aver $62000 Jews are now living on National Fund land in Palestine.
 MT. Carmel has been active in the Zionist movement for 40 years.

urge his partner to repeat the
suit, and that very moment his
nance to beat the contract was
gone. West naturally followed the
instructions of the signal, which
he reckoned was based on the fact
that East had a four-card suit and
counted on South to have another
heart.
South gleefully ru1fed the sec

After East took this, he led the
diamond X. But it was too late.
He was locking the stable after
the departure Of the horse. South's
diamond A won that trick, and he
dropped the last hostile club, then
ran the spades, discarding the los

East should have read that
West had four hearts and South
only a singleton. His play was to

to adhcsions. If the surgeon did
not know anything to say, he
blamed it on the adhesions. The
modern surgeon has learned bet
ter. Most adhesions do no harm
and are usually not the cause of
symptoms. SO far as treatments
are concerned, they are very diff
cult because, of course, as soon
as you go into the abdomen to
break up adhesions, more adhe-
sions form. 1t is like the labor
of Hercules where he cleaned the
Augean stable and every time he
pitched a load Of filth out the win

In any case, adhesions, in the
course of time, tend to disappear

Columbus trusted his entire evidence to this
