JOHN BUCKLEY
SEEKS JOB AS
« U. S. ATTORNEY
\VASHINGTON. March 20,—-
Another and a 'strong candidate.
Major John Buckley of Union. is in
the field for the appointment as U. S.
District Attorney for Connecticut. it
was learned. today.
The entrance into the contest of
Major Buckley. leader in the State
legislature and chief lieutenant of Re-
pubiican State Chairman J. Henry
Iloraback. gives strength to the sus-
picion that G. \V. chtt of New Bri-
tain. who appeared to have the job
right in his grasp at all times for the
past thlve months. is now out of the
running.
“’illing To Drop chtt.
Buckley, who is secretary of the
topuhlican state Committee. and who
was secretary to former Governor
Ilolcombc. looms up as much strong-
cr candidate than Arnon A. Ailing.
State's Attorney at New Haven, who
has also been strongly endorsed—but
not by the politicians.
It is bclieved here that Buckley
can obtain the passive approval of
Senator lirandcgcc and State Chair-
man Roraback who were pledged to
Klett but are now quite willing to
drop him.
Another very interesting develop-
ment of the past few days is the un-
derstanding that Senator Frank
Brandcgce will ’not support chtt. it
is understood on good authority that
he was not unolterably pledged to
Klett in the first place, as was Rora-
back and that he now believes that
it would be very poor policy to in-
sist on Klett's appointment. in view
of the development of strong oppo-
sition to him.

ANOTHER TIRE
AT ST. GEORGE
PAPER PLANT
For the second time in little over a
wcck, fire broke out at 3:15 o'clock
this morning at the St. George Paper
company plant on Smith street. As in
the first fire. the blaze was entirely
confined to the boiler room. The dam—
age was of a minor nature.
First district residents were awak-
ened from their sleep by the blowing
of the whistle of the Meeker foundry
sounding the alarm of fire. The whis-
tle blow for a good half an hour.
A still alarm of tire was sent into
Phoenix Engine company by tele-
phone and the apparatus responded.
Although there was plenty of smoke,
the firemen easily extinguished the fire
by the use of chemicals.
A week ago Saturday at. noontime. a
fire of similar nature broke out in. the
boiler room of the plant. For a. while
the fire looked serious. but two lines
of hose finally extinguished it. The
boiler room was out of commission for;
a few days while repairs were made.

AY MAY PRODUCE
BR H. G. WELLS’ BOOK
J. Ralph Bray of the East Norwalk
road, who is one of the best known
producers in the movie world, is con-
templating the filming of H. G. Wells
famous ”Outlines of History." Mr.
Bray at the present time is the pro-
ducer of the popular Bray comedies,
which are ranked among the best and
most. entertaining films on the mar-
ket. The filming of the "Outlines of
History” would be a stupendous task,_
entailing the expenditure of millions
of dollars and months of time. “The
Outlines of History" cleverly traces
the history of mankind from the earl-
iest prehistoric ages to the present
day. Such a. film. when produced
would be the most important contrib-
ution in years to the development of
motion pictures.

MUSICIANS HAVE
LADIES’ NIGHT AT
COUNTRY CLUB
Probably the most successful social
affair in the history of the South
Norwaik Musicians' Union was held
last. night at the Norwalk Country
Club, when one hundred and ten
ladies, guests and members of the
Musicians' Union of South Norwaik
enjoyed the annual ladies' night.
The affair was in the form of a tur—
kcy supper, which was of the usual
high standard put up by Steward
Frank I-lolywood at the club.
Supper was served at 7:30 o'clock,
and President Rufus J. Smith wel-
comed the guests and members with
appropriate words of greeting and ap-
pointed Secretary Frank 13. Field to
act as toastmastcr or the evening.
At 9:00 o'clock Charles H. Diiworth
of Norwalk was introduced as the
speaker of the evening and spoke on
various subjects of interest to the gath-
cring. Ills remarks were interesting
and appropriate to the occasion, and
in closing he paid especial tribute to
the American lland for the services
rendered by it for the carnival com-
mittees and parade committees. of
which he has been a member.
Deputy Fire Chief \Viiiiam J. Powell
was the next speaker and delighted
the gathering with his witty remarks.
and in closing also paid tribute to not.
only the American band. but local or-
chestra in general, for which 'he has
always been a booster.
_ The program for the evening was
as follows: ,
Violin solo—Robert Decesare. accom-
panied by Archibald T. Merriam on
piano. '
Piano selection~George S. Hendricks
Plano-Accordion novelty number-em
Cutrone
Saxophone solo—Joseph Maruca ac-
companied by Jacob Linxwailer. Jr..
, on piano
(Xylophone solo -—— George W'etmore.
accompanied by Fred V. Powell on
Piano
Saxophone Quartet—Messrs. Frank
Svcc. Harold Svec, Ray Sturdevant,
and John Campbell ‘
The program was delightful and the
performers were all members of the
South Norwalk Musicians' Union.
Especial mention might well be
made of the saxaphonc offering of
Brother Joseph Mnruca. who came up
from New York City only after some
effort in filling his place with one of
Paul “"hitcman‘s Club orchestra with
a substitute for the evening. Mr.
Maruca recently completed a several
weeks booking on Keith's Circuit. and
his numbers were certainly a. treat.
In his rendition of Rockmanoff's
“Prelude" Brother George Hendricks
of Saugatuck. showed rare ability at

TOWN OF DARIEN
At a special meeting of the Town
of Daricn, held last night in the
Royic school. by a rising vote of 84 to
60, the Board of Selectmen. William
Pension. Edgar T. Balls and Conrad
l“. \Vegner. were authorized to pro-
ceed with the mutudl exchange of
land, between the town and property
now occupied by Carl A. \Vcishcit, so
the town may tum it over to the State
for the purpose of widening Miller‘s
Bridge and straightening the road 33.1:
this point. "'
The exchange means that the town
will give to Mr. "Weishcit land valued
at $4,000, which is the estimated
cost of moving the buildings back.
and will expend $2,000 for the trans-
feral of the bodies of the Revolution-
ary soldiers from the portion of the
cemetery which will be given -to
V’Veisheit in the exchange. There will
be no money consideration in the
transaction between Weisheit and the
town. the land being the only princi-
pal.
Points 1 and 2 of the call were the
only ones acted upon. the other four
points being included in the resolu-
tion adopted. Points 1 and 2 read as
follows:
_ 1. To receive the report of the com-
mittee appointed November 21, 1921.
for theb purpose of instituting the
necessaary steps to eliminate danger-
ous traffic condition at the Noroton
River Bridge ,(Miller's Bridge).
2. To consider and act‘upon amutu-
al exchange of property. by and be-
tween the Town of Darien and Carl A.
Weisheit, pursuant to a. proposed
agreement, a capy of which has been
lodged in Town Clerk Stephen R.
Hoyt's office, for the purpose of in-
spection.
For the past week, conversation on
the streets has been about the matter.
and all indications pointed to the bit-
terest town meeting 1116‘ in the town
for some while, but the session prov-
ed to be a. calm affair: only occasion-
ally were there outbursts. which
quickly subsided. - "
Stephen R. Hoyt called the mget-
ing to order, following which Simon
Cooper was appointed chairman and
David 8. Bone. clerk of tlie meeting.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass., March 20.—
Fifty persons were injured, but. only
one seriously, in a. head on collision
of trolley cars in East Springfield.
this morning. Though upward of forty
persons were taken to hospitals and
others received medical attention at
the W'estlnghouse Plant. near the
scene of the accident. most of those
treated were able to go home within
a short-time.
The acidcent, said officials of
the Springfield street railway com-
pany. was due to disregard of a. block
signal set against him by W. L. Caron,
operator of a. one~man car which con-
tained two passengers. At the foot of
an incline the car crashed into an—
other in which were about ninety
passengers. The passengers -were
mainly employes of local factories
coming from their homes in the east-
erly part of the city.
The vestibules of both cars were
demolished and the ends telescoped
for several feet. Police and hospital
ambulances were rushed to fife icon
of the accident.
WOMEN VOTERS ’
TO TALK ABOUT
COMMISSIONERS
W’hat the Judiciary Committee said
and heard about the office. duties and
possibly personnel of the County Corn-
missioners as taken in stenographic
record is a feature of the Fairfield
County League of Women Voters to
be held at the Royal James Inn at
Norwaik on litarch 22. It has been
allotted thirty minutes on the after4
noon program and not a. little cur-
iosity is being shown as to what: com-t
ment it will provoke among the wom-
cn. ‘Efficiency in government is ap-
parently the subject of their studies.
Are the County Commissioners ef-
ficient? If not. are they or their job
to blame? Perhaps the women will
be able to answer it soon.
"Better City Government." a tall-t
by Walter J. Millard. field secretary
of the National Municipal League,
has. by its simplicity and directness;
taken both men and women by storm.
Dr. Millard makes the statement,
“You can judge any city government
if you can get compete statistics on‘
two headings. First, death rate of
babies under two years of age, and
secondly per capita cost. Flow? Why.
under the first for a complete answer
you must group drainage. milk in4
spection. water supply and housing
conditions. and under the second you
have the rest!" This talk has been
given before the Woman’s Club of
Torringtbn and has aroused tremen-
dous interest in the city problem.
